Chapter 8: Jiang Feng's flashy operation, the seat fee isn't something you can just ask for!

[ Streamer ‘Mengmeng’ has disconnected! ]

“Did she get scared away? Hahaha, dying of laughter!”

“Just arrived, brothers please follow me, I feel like your livestream is very interesting!”

Jiang Feng swayed his head: “Sigh, the Art of War says: Do not pursue a cornered enemy… Since the opponent has already surrendered, let’s temporarily let them off the hook. New viewers, please click follow, and later watch my Berserker Bro go on a rampage.”

Jiang Feng gestured for the new Water Friends in the livestream to take a seat.

Taking a glance at the number of people in the livestream room, it had already reached 40+!

[ Lv7 That Silver Sea Back Then: “Hahaha! Interesting~” ]

[ Lv20 Heartless Prodigal: “Newbie reporting in! Here to watch the excitement!” ]

[ Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Ahem! New brothers, pay the seat fee!” ]

[ Lv5 Wangzai Wagyu: “That’s right, pay the seat fee!” ]

[ Lv8 Don’t Waste My Youth: “???” ]

[ Lv22 Childish Queen: “Still have to pay a seat fee???” ]

The bullet chat was getting a bit out of hand.

Jiang Feng wasn’t flustered in the slightest, calmly saying: “A money-grabbing streamer, mainly focusing on money-grabbing. Just send a little heart to show your support for watching the show. Follow and light up the fan badge to get a free seat~”

Money… money-grabbing streamer?!

The newly arrived Water Friends were stunned when they saw the title!

Holy shit.

It’s fucking true!

The newly arrived Water Friends who were originally a bit annoyed upon hearing about the seat fee instantly lost their temper after seeing the livestream room title. Fine, pay up~ He is a money-grabbing streamer after all, what else is there to say when he’s stated it so clearly?

“Besides, the seat fee isn’t expensive anyway.”

“It’s just a matter of 10 cents.”

[ ‘Lv7 That Silver Sea Back Then’ sent the streamer ‘little heart x2’! ]

[ ‘Lv20 Heartless Prodigal’ sent the streamer ‘little heart x1’! ]

[ ‘Lv8 Don’t Waste My Youth’ sent the streamer ‘fresh flower x1’! ]

[ ‘Lv22 Childish Queen’ sent the streamer ‘little heart x5’! ]

A continuous stream of gifts flooded the screen.

A smile curved Jiang Feng’s lips; this was the exact effect he wanted!

This whole seat fee thing was a rhythm he had secretly asked Sun Chen to lead by sending him a message earlier, all for the purpose of giving the Water Friends who had just entered the stream an impression—playing in this stream requires spending money!

He was a money-grabbing streamer, after all; he had to establish his persona.

There was actually some psychological manipulation involved in this… On one hand, by only asking new viewers for the seat fee and not the old viewers, the old viewers would feel a sense of superiority: ‘I’m an old-timer, I don’t need to pay.’

Although a portion of the new viewers might resist, most would still stay because of Jiang Feng’s entertainment value, since the amount of money was small. This part that stayed would also form an impression in their minds: this livestream room was different from others, and its main focus was on grabbing money.

First, instill this concept of “needing to pay money to have fun.”

Next, once the atmosphere builds up, these people will actually not have any resistance to spending money.

Similarly.

When new viewers enter again, without Sun Chen’s help in setting the rhythm, this batch of viewers who paid the “seat fee” will naturally remind the new viewers to pay the “seat fee.” Over the long run, the livestream room’s persona and positive feedback loop would be established!

Of course, this seat fee cannot be asked for randomly.

Jiang Feng said loudly: “Brothers who paid the seat fee, please wait a moment…!!”

[ Lv8 Don’t Waste My Youth: “???” ]

[ Lv22 Childish Queen: “What does this mean? Where’s the streamer?” ]

Jiang Feng disappeared from the livestream.

The viewers watched in confusion, what did he go do?

“I’m back, I’m back!”

Jiang Feng’s voice came from off-screen.

Before long, Jiang Feng could be seen struggling to drag over a sofa. Then, he placed a chair on the sofa. Finally, he set a small water dispenser on the chair, and a water bucket on top of that…

It was like a human pyramid, with the items behind him stacked seven or eight layers high.

[ Lv7 That Silver Sea Back Then: “???” ]

[ Lv20 Heartless Prodigal: “Good lord! The streamer is really pulling out all the stops. Is he going to perform a circus act?” ]

The viewers were all completely confused, not understanding what Jiang Feng was trying to do.

Jiang Feng chuckled, took out a few sheets of A4 white paper, and slapped them down on the table. “Thank you, big brother. Your streamer said I’d give everyone a seat, and I’ll never break my word!”

“Let’s see… Rank 5 big brother… Lv20 Heartless Prodigal! OK! Arranging it for Brother Heartless!”

Jiang Feng quickly wrote the four characters ‘Heartless Prodigal’ on the paper, then slapped it down onto the stool!

In the stream chat.

[ Lv20 Heartless Prodigal: “????” ]

“Next… Rank 4, Lv7 That Silver Sea Back Then! OK!”

Jiang Feng’s pen flew across the paper like a soaring dragon.

Slap! The A4 paper with “That Silver Sea Back Then” written on it was pasted onto the water dispenser!

[ Lv7 That Silver Sea Back Then (Stunned): “This is me????” ]

“Rank 3… Lv22 Childish Queen!”

Slap! The A4 paper with “Childish Queen” written on it was pasted onto the water jug!

[ Lv22 Childish Queen (Black man question face): “…No, I’m a woman, what does assigning me a water jug mean???” ]

“Rank 2… Lv8 Don’t Waste My Youth!”

“Rank 1… Lv5 Berserker!!!”

Slap! Lv8 Don’t Waste My Youth, assigned: the electric kettle on top of the water jug!

Slap! Lv5 Berserker, assigned: the opened lid of the electric kettle!

“Done!!!”

Jiang Feng, with a face full of satisfaction, made sure the camera wouldn’t block the masterpiece behind him, and said smugly, “How is it! Brothers, the streamer won’t let you donate for nothing, the streamer will arrange a seat for you!”

[ Lv8 Don’t Waste My Youth: “…” ]

[ Lv5 Berserker: “…” ]

The top two donors were dumbfounded.

But the Water Friends below were laughing their heads off. Holy cow, this streamer is too full of tricks, isn’t he?

[ Lv5 Wangzai Wagyu: “Hahahaha, so that’s how the seats are arranged! Dying of laughter!” ]

[ Lv7 September Bright Moon: “@Childish Queen, a water bucket for a seat, is that okay?” ]

[ Lv2 Xian Xiaowu: “Pfft!! I can understand a water bottle being a seat, but why is the water bottle lid also a seat??? The streamer is too abstract!!!” ]

Jiang Feng awkwardly said, “Ahem, it’s just that there weren’t enough seats, please forgive me, please forgive me!”

With Jiang Feng doing this, the Water Friends who were still a bit unhappy about the “seat fee” earlier were instantly satisfied. Jiang Feng’s move was too slick, easily defusing that little bit of negative emotion.

Although this sofa, stool, water dispenser, water bucket… were a bit abstract…

But hey, don’t you know, having your own name pasted on it and appearing in the livestream, this sudden sense of satisfaction just came, huh!

[ ‘Lv22 Childish Queen’ sent the streamer a ‘Sports Car x1’! ]

[ Lv22 Childish Queen (gritting her teeth): “……I don’t want a bucket, streamer, bring it on! I’ll even accept a pot lid!” ]

Childish Queen couldn’t hold it in anymore.

The livestream chat immediately burst into laughter.

[ Lv5 Wangzai Wagyu: “Hahahaha, bring it on! Hurry up!” ]

[ Lv7 September Bright Moon: “Hahaha! Streamer, how do you do things? Hurry up and put our Queen on a pot lid!” ]

[ Lv2 Xian Xiaowu: “Sit on a pot lid +1!!” ]

Jiang Feng bowed and scraped, wiping away sweat as he quickly tidied up: “Alright, alright, we’ll arrange that for you, Big Sister!”

After a flurry of bustling around, he finally got the seat arranged.

Jiang Feng wiped his sweat: “Hah, done. This should be fine now… Um, Berserker Bro? What do you say?”

[ Lv5 Berserker: “Fight!” ]

Berserker Bro was still immersed in the exhilarating battle from the previous round and hadn’t snapped out of it yet.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng didn’t waste any words and immediately announced loudly: “Good! Berserker Bro, if you’re ready to fight, then let’s fight!”

[ Ding! Streamer ‘Jiang Feng Loves Money-Grabbing’ is performing a random PK… ]
