Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 48.2

Editor: Jodi

Jiang Shu frowned slightly as she watched the lively crowd surrounding Shen Ci.

Shen Ci’s spot on the hot search had even surpassed the show itself, while the other artists had been pushed to the back. Shouldn’t everyone feel as unbalanced as she was feeling?

Jiang Shu was puzzled, then finally concluded that they were all just pretending!

Because how could anyone be willing to let such a ridiculous vase steal the spotlight every day?

“Hey, shouldn’t we start preparing for the live stream?” Jiang Shu interjected, but everyone was too busy to pay her much attention.

Feeling awkward, she bit her lip. Shen Ci, trying to extricate himself from the crowd, responded, “Ah, right! When we recorded the teaser a few days ago, we mentioned starting the live stream tomorrow night!”

Wei Shuo pushed him back onto the sofa, laughing, “What’s the rush? I haven’t laughed enough yet.”

Shen Ci was at his wit’s end, then unable to bear it any longer, he grabbed a pillow and started hitting Wei Shuo, then they soon began wrestling.

“If you’re a brother, then you should be embarrassed with me! Why is it that you aren’t also on the hot search being mocked?”

“There’s no other way. My fans are used to it by now- they’re probably too lazy to mock me!”

The director walked over, smiling as he intervened. “Alright, everyone, it’s time to prepare for the live stream. You have two tasks for tomorrow night: promoting the local farm products and advertising our newly renovated guesthouse.”

“The cherries here are starting to ripen, so after discussing with the village chief, we’ve decided to use ‘Cherry Picking Season’ as a draw to attract tourists for lodging.”

Jiang Shu shouted loudly, “Oh my God! Cherries are my favorite! Can we go have a taste first, haha!”

Her exaggerated voice caught everyone off guard, leading to an awkward silence for five to six seconds before someone finally chimed in, “I also want to!”

The director chuckled, “Of course, you can.”

The guesthouse was ready, and agreements with villagers who could provide cherry-picking had been settled. On the night of the live stream, everyone was eager to begin.

Over the past two days, they had experienced cherry picking, and Wei Shuo, as the first guest to stay at the guesthouse, had diligently written reviews on his Weibo, updating them daily in a diary format.

Being the top internet celebrity in the country with millions of fans, Wei Shuo’s detailed reviews were natural advertisements.

And coupled with the fact that all the celebrities were cooperating to repost the live stream information, Qinggua Live Broadcast Platform’s download count topped app store charts, the excitement for the live broadcast palpable.

When the time came, the live stream started.

And the moment the live stream began, the number of online viewers skyrocketed at a rate of thousands per minute, and the pop-ups flooded in, causing the stream to lag several times before it even began officially.

The comments were filled with fan support phrases for all seven celebrities, falling like snowflakes across the screen. Shen Ci nearly choked when he saw pop-ups that said “Sand Sculpture Xiao Ci, Mommy loves you.”

He desperately wanted to clear his name—he was a serious idol…

Fortunately, the programmers at Qinggua had worked tirelessly to upgrade the system, ensuring that the largest live broadcast platform in C Country could now accommodate millions in a single room.

The seven artists took turns promoting products, and Wei Shuo, the most experienced influencer, went first.

Having hosted numerous sales before, each of his sessions typically achieved tens of millions in sales.

However tonight, they were only selling farm products, cherry-picking experiences, and travel discount vouchers, yet Wei Shuo still managed to achieve over 500,000 in sales.

This was an excellent result, considering that the less experienced artists only managed to hit around 100,000.

Shen Ci was scheduled last because the director was confident that with his wealthy fanbase, he would definitely boost the sales.

Shen Ci: “…” If nothing was left for him to sell, wouldn’t that be embarrassing?

Sure enough, by the time it was his turn, only a few thousand yuan worth of products were left,…… and this was all thanks to Jiang Shu, who went before him.

Jiang Shu had spent over two hours getting ready in the dressing room, then when she came out, everyone was stunned by her beauty, and with added filters in the live stream, the fans were even more captivated.

Jiang Shu was already a natural beauty, so with her meticulous preparation, she once again resembled the screen goddess from her childhood days.

The live stream audience went wild. The pop-ups exploded, and some viewers were moved to tears by nostalgia.

With her high looks and emotional appeal, Jiang Shu garnered significant attention and achieved over 300,000 in sales.

When the time was up, Jiang Shu stepped away from the screen, casting a smug glance at Shen Ci.

Ha, with so little left to sell…. she wondered if this little vase would cry pitifully in front of the camera?

No matter how he sold, his sales volume would be the lowest among them. She laughed in her heart, feeling embarrassed for him.

Shen Ci didn’t notice her expression. He just sat in front of the camera calmly, thinking that with such bad luck, he might as well just go through the motions.

After all, his appearance fee hadn’t been cut— it was just a bit of embarrassment.

So he flashed a sweet, soft smile at the camera, “Good evening, everyone!”

Colorful pop-ups immediately flooded in—

“Cub! Mommy brought two black cards! Whatever you sell, I’ll buy it all!”

“I’ve been waiting! Finally, I can buy! Hurry up, hurry up!”

“I’ve got all my husband’s company’s employees ready! We’re aiming for a billion sales for Xiao Ci!”

“……”

Shen Ci laughed awkwardly, “Ah, but I only have 3,000 yuan worth of goods left to sell. The link is below, it’s cherry—”

“Hey? It’s sold out, no need to say more!”

The live stream assistant reminded him from behind.

Shen Ci’s eyes widened. He hadn’t even introduced the product yet!

The pop-ups immediately turned its guns on the user with the ID “Deep Deer”who had bought all the goods in an instant, spouting all sorts of insults.

And afraid the live stream would be banned due to uncivil comments, Shen Ci stopped them hurriedly, “Sisters, please don’t curse. I’m really out of stock here. Maybe next time—”

Suddenly, an “Angel Rocket” shot across the screen, covering all the comments arrogantly.

“Deep Deer” had gifted an “Angel Rocket”.

The mommy fans, who were typing furiously, suddenly realized something and immediately opened the gift page to start contributing madly—

Then the highest-level “Angel Rockets” exploded one after another, and due to the rapid refresh and coverage, each “Angel Rocket” lasted less than half a second before being replaced by a new one, causing the entire live stream room to erupt.

One pop-up struggled to survive through the cracks: “Gifting definitely counts as sales! Sisters, charge!”

Then Shen Ci watched in shock as the live stream picture turned into a series of frames, then in the end—

The live stream interface went black.

Then an innocent line of text appeared on the black screen: “Connection lost, try reopening!”

Shen Ci: “???”

Was it because the gifts had come in too fast and too much and so had overloaded the servers, causing the live stream room to blow up?
