After exiting the east gate of Jingming Community, they crossed the road and walked south along the sidewalk for 50 meters, then turned right into Willow Lane. If they kept going forward, they would reach Master Chen's private kitchen.
Master Chen was from Huainan. He was not a professional chef, but he could cook excellent Huaiyang cuisine. After he retired a few years ago, he settled down in Beijing with his wife in order to take care of his grandchildren.
It was not easy to live in Beijing, and the daily expenses were high. Therefore, Master Chen rented an old house in Willow Lane and opened a private kitchen. He relied on his skills and conscience to attract business and earn some living expenses.
In the courtyard of a shabby house deep in the old lane, there were five to six wooden tables and dozens of dining chairs. When Lu Chen and Li Feiyu sneaked in, the inside was basically full. There was no space at all — the business was too good!
Fortunately, Li Feiyu often visited. He called Master Chen's wife, who worked as a part-time waitress, "Auntie, Auntie." His sweet words made her smile, and he finally got an extra seat in the small courtyard.
A student's desk and two plastic stools. There was nothing good.
But both Li Feiyu and Lu Chen were very satisfied.
Master Chen's private kitchen was really a model of cheap and good quality. Many gluttons came to reserve seats before it was time to eat. If it was not for Li Feiyu's eloquence, he would not have been able to get an extra seat!
Braised lion's head, three sets of duck, squirrel mandarin fish, boiled shredded dried fish, and two cages of crab meat buns were all authentic Huaiyang cuisine. Coupled with four bottles of Yandu beer, Lu Chen, who had not tasted meat for a long time, ate with tears streaming down his face.
When the plates were mostly empty and three bottles of beer were finished, Li Feiyu, who was full of food and drink, started to talk.
He was talking about live streaming.
Li Feiy had been streaming online for more than a month. He had also specially purchased a high-quality microphone and a high-definition camera. He wanted to show off on the Internet and earn some money along the way.
His first live broadcast was on Whale TV. He walked the path of a game anchor. Unfortunately, he was terrible at the three most popular online games on Whale TV — CKG, Hero City State, and Planet Overlord. After half a month, there were only a few viewers, and he couldn't even earn back his electricity bill.
Half a month ago, he switched to Starlight Show. He did not play games, but instead went on a lifestyle show. He told jokes with others, sang songs, and showed off his ugly looks. He actually gained some popularity and earned a full 0.3T of starlight.
0.3T was equivalent to 30,000 starlight points, which was equivalent to $300. However, according to StarryLive's rules, a 'wild' anchor like Li Feiy, who had yet to sign a contract, could only receive 50% of the profits.
Well, he had earned back his electricity bill. Working hard for two weeks was not as good as moving bricks for a day!
Talking about his sad life as an anchor, Peter Pan's bitterness flowed endlessly. He wanted to stop but could not. Lu Chen could not help but shed tears of sympathy.
"Xiao Lu, do you know?"
Li Feiyu drank a big mouthful of beer and said, "Our company's Xiao Mei earned more than 20,000 to 30,000 yuan from Starlight Show last month. That's five to six times more than her salary at the 4S store. She won't be coming to work next month!"
Lu Chen knew about Xiao Mei. She was the receptionist at the 4S store where Li Feiyu worked. She had big eyes, an awl-like face, a slender waist, and long legs. Most importantly, she was 20 years old and did not have a boyfriend. She could be called a flower in the company. She had undoubtedly become the target of many crazy bees and butterflies, and she had many secret admirers!
The reason why Lu Chen knew about her so well was not because he knew her, but because he had heard about her from Li Feiyu many times.
Yes, this guy was one of the members of Xiao Mei's secret admirers!
"Is she very talented?" Lu Chen asked curiously.
Li Feiyu explained, "She doesn't know how to sing or dance. She only does live broadcasts of makeup, eating, acting cute, chatting …"
Lu Chen was speechless. That was possible?
"It's really possible!"
Li Feiyu perked up and said, "Don't talk about acting cute and chatting. Starlight Show has live broadcasts of sleeping, watching TV, cooking, writing, and writing novels. There's nothing you can't think of, but there's nothing you can't do!"
"Xiao Lu, with your talent and ability, you really have a bright future in Starlight Show!"
He became serious and said, "Right now, the seven most popular celebrities in Starlight Show have a monthly income of at least 100,000 and above. The biggest celebrity, Yan Manni, is said to have signed for more than 5 million. She has also endorsed many commercials, and the number of viewers in Starlight Show has reached 2 million. Can you imagine how much she usually earns from tips?"
Lu Chen could not help but nod. He had only borrowed Li Feiyu's account to play around, and it seemed like he had earned quite a lot from tips.
2 million + Starlight fans, just thinking about it was scary!
Li Feiyu smiled bitterly and said, "It's impossible for me to do that, but Xiao Lu, you're different. You sing well, you're handsome, and you can even write your own songs. You really have the potential to be a big hit in Starlight Show!"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Just now, you sang three songs, and I saw that the tips were 2.8T. If you withdraw it immediately, you can get 1400 yuan. Don't you think it's better than working in KFC, and better than working in a bar?"
Lu Chen was really tempted!
His family owed a huge amount of debt. If he only relied on himself to work part-time, he probably would not be able to pay it off in this lifetime. It was the same even with his family.
Right now, he already had a treasure trove, but it was not easy to exchange this treasure trove for actual benefits. Just think about the harsh contract that Su Qingmei took out. For a nobody like him to make it in this circle, just having talent and talent was far from enough!
And a broadcasting platform like Starlight Show, which belonged to the grassroots, was undoubtedly a shortcut to making money!
Li Feiyu struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Xiao Lu, I don't plan to play anymore. I'll give you my Starlight account. You can change my name and information, and I'll also give you my broadcasting equipment. Anyway, it's useless."
Lu Chen was shocked and quickly said, "How can I do that …"
"Why not?"
Li Feiyu stared and said, "This is called reasonable use of resources, and I won't lose out. I won't give you the share of the tips in my account, or else I won't get this price even if I sell it secondhand!"
Although that was what Li Feiyu said, Lu Chen knew that even if the two equipment were sold at a discount, it would not be worth a thousand yuan. Moreover, the account was originally his.
"Li Ge …"
"If you're a brother, then don't talk nonsense!"
Li Feiyu waved his hand and said domineeringly, "Then it's decided! If you really appreciate Brother Li's kindness, then when you become a big star, let me be your assistant that runs errands for you! "
Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Li Ge, you're drunk!"
"Bullsh * t!"
Li Feiyu said disdainfully, "Two bottles of Yan Dou can make me drunk? Adding a zero is more like it. Let's not talk anymore, we'll go back and change our account now. Bill! "
He paid the bill, and then dragged Lu Chen back to the rented apartment.
Back in the basement, Li Feiyu couldn't wait to turn on his computer and log into his account again.
He first withdrew the 3T of Starlight Points in his account, and then began to change his information.
Starlight Show's anchor platform allowed anchors to change their information, including the account's nickname, password, mobile phone, Yi Fubao information, etc. Therefore, it was very convenient to change it to Lu Chen's name.
Of course, anchors rarely changed their nicknames as it would affect their popularity. In addition, they would have to send messages to inform their Starlight Fans. Therefore, it was more troublesome.
As it was Lu Chen's first time playing, he didn't suffer any losses when he took over Li Feiyu's account, and he still retained the popularity he earned in the morning.
"Xiao Lu, change your anchor's nickname first!"
Li Feiyu rubbed his hands and reminded, "It must be domineering, it must be able to shock the audience!"
Lu Chen chuckled. He used the keyboard to enter his name "Lu Chen", and a notification immediately popped up.
Nickname taken!
Lu Chen changed it to "Xiao Lu", but it was still taken!
Li Feiyu laughed and said, "All the good names are taken by dogs. I originally wanted to register as Peter Pan, but it was also taken."
Lu Chen thought for a while and typed in "Lu Fei".
To his surprise, this name actually passed and showed that it could be used!
He pressed the confirm button without hesitation, and the change was successful!
"Lu Fei?"
Li Feiyu was surprised and immediately became excited. "This name is good, good!"
"Lu" was Lu Chen's, and "Fei" was Li Feiyu's "Fei"!
Although Li Feiyu didn't want to play the anchor show anymore, he still had a lot of feelings for this account. He really hoped that Lu Chen would carry it forward and become a shining star in Starlight Show!
Because of this, when he saw Lu Chen change the nickname "Lu Fei", he was excited and touched.
He couldn't help but punch Lu Chen on the shoulder. "Good brother!"
Lu Chen smiled and didn't say anything.
He used this name as a nickname, in addition to his relationship with Li Feiyu, the most important reason was because of a sentence that just sounded in his mind.
"I am the man who will become the Pirate King!"
Really domineering!
After changing the nickname, this anchor account was completely owned by Lu Chen.
Lu Chen didn't start the live broadcast immediately, but first familiarized himself with the various functions of the live broadcast platform.
Logging into the anchor account, he naturally had all the permissions of the live broadcast room, such as the basic settings, accompaniment, subtitles, kicking people, muting, blessing, leaving messages, and other functions. With Li Feiyu's guidance, he naturally got the hang of it very quickly.
Then, Lu Chen sent a message to all the fans he followed, informing them of the name change.
Interestingly, there were hundreds of messages in his anchor mailbox, most of which were just sent not long ago. They were greetings from his fans, praising, flattering, asking for his QQ number, and begging to hug his thighs …
Then in less than half a minute, new messages came back one after another, all expressing congratulations and joy!
"Great, I'm finally no longer tortured by Peter Pan's demonic voice, scattering flowers!"
"Lu Fei, I like this name, good luck handsome!"
"When will you start the live broadcast? I still want to listen to you, my deskmate, 10000 times! "
"Support to the end!"
"… …"
Lu Chen was very happy and felt that it was more and more interesting.
Li Feiyu said, "You can sign a contract when you have more than 10,000 fans. The proportion of the contract is different according to the level of the anchor. According to the speed of your fan growth, you should be able to meet the minimum requirements after two more live broadcasts!"
Lu Chen nodded, his eyes flashing with the light from the screen.
Like a bright star!
