Chapter 386: The Most Miserable Little Anchor (First Update, Please Subscribe)
Ye Chen said, "So this guild war is quite important then."
Su Xiaomei smiled bitterly, "These guild wars are actually like immortals sparring, I'm just a small fry, basically here to accompany and give away points."
"Oh, I see, immortals sparring, sounds like you're in a bad spot, just cannon fodder then," Ye Chen teased.
"Yeah, if this time I end up just giving away points like before, I might be kicked out of the guild," Su Xiaomei sighed.
Ye Chen typed, "Don't worry, you won't be kicked out of the guild. Maybe if luck strikes, someone might come to help you, and suddenly you could be at the top of the rankings."
The guy with the 9.9 said, "Bro, someone big? Look at us, we're just a group of poor lads, how often do you really come across someone big?"
"Exactly, DiDi Brother, don't just talk big, alright."
Ye Chen ignored the others and said, "You feel a lot of pressure this time, losing might get you kicked out of the guild."
Su Xiaomei nodded, "Very much so, I can only hope heaven blesses me with someone even weaker than me."
"Finding someone weaker than you, I think that's quite difficult actually," Ye Chen said.
"Come on, don't bully me, alright? I'm really nervous, if I lose and get kicked out of the guild, I won't even have a basic income."
Ye Chen could tell Su Xiaomei was very nervous.
These guild wars for top streamers are about how much extra money they can reel in, but for low-level streamers like Su Xiaomei, it's about survival.
Because Su Xiaomei's monthly revenue was already very low, if she lost, she might be kicked out of the guild.
The guild guarantees a thousand yuan per month, being kicked out means losing even that basic guarantee.
Ye Chen checked the time; the guild war was about to start.
"Ah, seems like there won't be anyone big in our livestream," Su Xiaomei sighed.
"Who says? Someone big has already arrived," Ye Chen smiled.
Su Xiaomei thought Ye Chen was mocking her and said, "DiDi Brother, thanks for your support. Just make sure not to overdo it; driving DiDi isn't easy."
Ye Chen replied, "Wow, this little streamer is quite considerate, I like that."
"Tch, Xiaomei, don't listen to that DiDi Brother talking big. He just talks, really. How much can a DiDi driver earn to give you tips?"
"Xiaomei, how about this: have a meal with me and I'll make sure you get into the top hundred."
Su Xiaomei could only smile bitterly at their teasing.
There was absolutely no support for her, and without someone big in the livestream, she'd just be bullied.
Su Xiaomei was familiar with almost all her fans; the highest was level 5, and the rest were just level 1 or 0 alt accounts.
Most people were freeloaders, relying on them was impossible.
Ye Chen actually wanted to go to Maoya Net himself, but the system had a rule that you could only tip in livestreams within your wealth range for the Cashback Card to be effective.
Guild wars are more about showcasing guild strength; all guilds and livestream platforms have agreements, many actually have guild platform accounts helping streamers compete to entice ordinary players to spend money.
Many streamers, in truth, gained fame thanks to guild promotion.
But guilds choose streamers with high potential value as basics; like Su Xiaomei, whose revenue is just over a hundred yuan, is basically in line to be cleaned out.
Su Xiaomei said, "I hope everyone can support me within their means in this guild war, otherwise if I'm kicked out, I might not be able to stream for everyone anymore."
But after saying that, there was no sound in the livestream room.
Clearly, no one would support her.
Ye Chen said with laughter, "Why not ask me for help, maybe I can help you win the guild war championship."
Su Xiaomei hadn't spoken yet, and finally those freeloaders couldn't stand it anymore.
The current top supporter, who spent 9.9, said, "Dude, you're kidding, right? Just you, a DiDi Brother, helping a streamer win the championship, that's a joke."
"Haha, DiDi Brother, you sure talk big, to win a guild war you'd need at least a million in funds, do you have that?"
"Xiaomei, don't be fooled by that DiDi Brother, I bet that guy's just talk."
Su Xiaomei also laughed lightly.
She never imagined relying on DiDi Brother.
After all, she knew how much a DiDi driver could earn in a month; winning a championship relying on DiDi Brother was impossible.
Plus, she'd only used DiDi to hail Ye Chen once; there's no reason for him to help her.
Ye Chen didn't say anything, perhaps earlier he wouldn't intervene, but now with the tip Cashback Card, Ye Chen had no reason not to make money.
When others tip there's no echo, but his tipping has an echo and could earn a lot.
Ye Chen had some fondness for Su Xiaomei, deciding to help her win the guild war championship this time.
Ye Chen directly recharged two million, waiting for the guild war to start.
He didn't tell Su Xiaomei he'd help her mainly because even if he said it, she might not believe him.
Ye Chen also thought of suddenly appearing when Su Xiaomei was most desperate.
Girls like heroes, especially when they're at their most desperate, that effect is the best.
Plus, Ye Chen tipping could get cashback; this is a sure-win, no-lose business.
Now there were five minutes to the guild war, Su Xiaomei's livestream room remained tranquil.
Su Xiaomei's expression showed she was somewhat nervous.
After all, this guild war decided if she could continue being a streamer.
At eight in the evening, the DouYu Network guild war officially began.
Su Xiaomei's livestream had only a dozen people remaining, and this was when opponents began connecting mics.
Taking a deep breath, Su Xiaomei had no choice but to accept.
At that moment, several VIP crowned users entered Su Xiaomei's livestream room.
Evidently, the opponent was strong, these VIPs were here to gauge Su Xiaomei's strength.
"Hello, missy, I'm Lu Yaoyao from Beifu Guild, pleased to connect with you. I noticed your livestream room is quite empty, do we still need to continue?"
The opponent clearly knew Su Xiaomei's situation here.
The current top supporter was 9.9, while Lu Yaoyao's top supporter exceeded ten thousand, they were entirely different levels.
To put it bluntly, this match was basically a giveaway.
Ye Chen also checked out the opponent's strength.
Indeed, they were strong, several were over level 50 VIP accounts.
No wonder they were so confident.
"Haha, I checked out their room, their top supporter is 99 flowers, 9.9, that made me laugh."
"Yaoyao got lucky this time, the first round is practically a freebie."
"I saw, there aren't even advanced VIP accounts there, this one's a sure win."
"That streamer barely makes a hundred yuan a week, it's the most pitiful streamer I've seen."
Their opponent's livestream room was quite lively; they saw it as a guaranteed win.
