Originally, an academic competition wouldn't attract too much attention.
After all, most people did not even know the time of the International Mathematical Olympiad.
However, thanks to the provocation of foreign networks and the program produced by the main television station, the popularity of the ISC was unprecedentedly high.
Especially the number one on the global leaderboard. It was so mysterious that every social media platform was discussing who the number one was.
To be able to crush all the contestants from the other countries with a thunderous momentum, it seemed like she was just participating casually.
Ying Zijin's admission naturally caused a stir in the livestream.
Every livestream had haters who deliberately stirred things up.
Other than a few bored keyboard warriors, most of them were sent by competing streamers of the same genre.
Ying Zijin's account, Chocolate Mousse, had only livestreamed a total of 15 times and had never shown her face.
Even so, her popularity was still high.
Not many people watched academic livestreams. Most people watched games, singing, and livestreams.
There were a total of nine academic livestreams on the Shark Livestream platform.
The person who first stirred things up was sent by a streamer called "Witch Xiao Xiao".
Ying Zijin had not livestreamed for a long time. Other than her old fans, there were even more new viewers.
Now that she admitted that she was the number one on the global leaderboard, it was hard to explain.
[Although you're a learning streamer and have to brag for popularity, forget about the ISC.]
[I wanted to learn something, but I didn't expect her to be a braggart. I'm leaving, I'll go watch Witch Xiao Xiao's livestream.]
This time, the old fans who had been watching were unhappy.
[Guru, show this to these idiots and slap their faces until they're swollen.]
[Let me tell you, if anyone can take the number one spot, only the guru is worthy.]
They had watched Ying Zijin's livestreams all the way here. She was almost omnipotent.
"Okay, wait a moment." Ying Zijin twirled the pen in her hand. "Let's finish today's mission first."
She did have obsessive-compulsive disorder. She had to do everything in order.
This time, the bullet screen continued to jump out.
[Hehe, that's right. The number one on the global leaderboard is livestreaming? Do you think you're Witch Xiao Xiao?]
The ISC was actually restricted to those with a high school education or below.
However, if a junior high school student were to participate in this competition, they would not be able to do it. The school did not encourage it.
Therefore, even if one did not attend high school, as long as they met the requirements, they could still apply for the ISC.
Demoness XiaoXiao, this streamer, had only finished her junior high school studies and had already entered the broadcasting industry.
Of course, she wasn't on the overall ranking, but she was ranked 898 in Hua City's regional ranking.
This ranking was not low for the netizens. After all, up until now, the number of people participating in the ISC in Hua City had already reached 1.5 million!
Most importantly, Witch XiaoXiao was very beautiful.
If one didn't look at the face of a livestream, what would they look at?
It was also at this moment that a dialog box popped up in the live broadcast room.
[Witch XiaoXiao has challenged you to a duel. Do you accept?]
[Yes/No]
This was a new function of the Shark Live Streaming Platform. Many streamers would use this to increase their popularity.
However, only the winner would benefit. If the loser lost, the popularity of the livestream would drop tremendously.
Ying Zijin turned it off without even looking at it.
She laid out the paper and said in a distant voice, "Today, I will talk about the universe and celestial bodies."
[You don't even dare to accept XiaoXiao's challenge. How dare you claim to be number one in the overall ranking? Are you worthy?]
The haters who were leading the discussion could not jump up again because the moderator had muted them in time.
Just as Ying Zijin was about to start, the dialog box popped up again.
[Witch XiaoXiao has challenged you to a duel. If you win this duel, you will receive all the rewards from the other party today. Do you accept?]
[Yes/No]
Just as the fans were regretting that they could not see the Almighty duel with other learning streamers, they saw the mouse on the screen click on the "Yes" button.
Then, another dialog box popped up.
[You have accepted the duel invitation. Please be prepared.]
The fans were speechless.
So it wasn't that the Almighty did not accept the duel, but that there were no benefits?
Demoness XiaoXiao, who had issued the challenge, was stunned for a moment. However, she reacted quickly and pouted in disdain.
She had thought that this chocolate mousse was really some Almighty, but it turned out that he was just a greedy philistine.
XiaoXiao had started streaming during this summer vacation. She had not seen Ying Zijin's stream before, but she had seen the bullet screen saying that there was an Almighty in the learning area and that no one could compare to her.
She had waited for a long time, but Ying Zijin had not appeared even once. Today, she finally appeared.
Just like the gaming area, there could not be two tigers on one mountain. There could only be one number one in each area.
XiaoXiao wanted to use this duel to step on Ying Zijin and gain a foothold on the Shark Streaming platform.
After the challenge was issued, the Shark Streaming platform directly sent out questions.
The two people's livestream soon switched to the electronic answer screen.
XiaoXiao was good at chemistry, so she chose chemistry.
She had been streaming for three months and had accumulated three million fans, all of whom were supporting her.
[XiaoXiao, go for it. You will definitely win.]
[Our XiaoXiao is generous, unlike someone who claims to be number one in the overall ranking without any evidence. Ugh.]
"Everyone, quiet down." XiaoXiao smiled at the camera. "We have to be polite and respect our seniors. I heard that you are very good, so I proposed a duel because I want to learn from you."
As she spoke, she looked at the questions issued by the Shark Streaming platform and prepared to answer them.
The counter at the bottom right showed that 30 seconds had passed.
XiaoXiao was not in a hurry. She had always been very fast at answering questions, so it was okay to waste some time.
So she read the questions while interacting with her fans.
"This question is about organic chemistry. It's very simple." XiaoXiao said, "We should choose —"
But before she could finish her sentence, the answer screen suddenly disappeared.
Then, a gray frame popped up with a crying face.
[Ding, the challenge you proposed has ended.
You did not answer a single question, zero points.
Chocolate mousse answered ten questions correctly, 100 points.
Your reward today is equivalent to 530294 in cash, all of it will be transferred to the other party's account.]
[…]
There was dead silence in the live broadcast room.
Whether it was cheering or criticizing Ying Zijin on the bullet screen, all of them disappeared.
XiaoXiao was in disbelief.
It had only been 40 seconds, and this chocolate mousse had already finished the questions. What kind of joke was this?!
These chemistry questions were only taught in university chemistry, and she had already finished them by herself at home.
Wasn't the other party also a high school student? How could she know university knowledge?
XiaoXiao was streaming with a straight face, so the fans watching the stream could clearly see all of her facial expressions.
Her eyes were wide open, with a hint of ferocity.
Even with the filter on, the beautiful streamer's image collapsed.
In just a few seconds, the 50 million viewers in the stream had dropped by 10 million, and it was still dropping.
XiaoXiao wanted to stop the stream, but she could not do so. She could only watch as her number of fans decreased one by one.
She finally realized that this was not a duel at all, but a one-sided suppression.
She could not step on Ying Zijin to get to the top. Instead, she lost her popularity.
XiaoXiao regretted it very much.
**
On the other hand, Ying Zijin was not affected at all.
After she was done with the duel, she continued to talk about the questions and casually said, "If I win money today, I'll pick 100 viewers to give me supper later."
She felt that the shark streaming platform's function was very good, and she could easily earn money.
Ying Zijin's only regret was that she should not have done the questions so quickly. She scared the other streamers, and no one wanted to duel with her anymore.
[Sob sob sob, Almighty, you did it too quickly. I didn't even see what the question was.]
[I've long disliked XiaoXiao. Since the start of the stream, she has been stepping on the Almighty. The Almighty can talk about quantum mechanics, but can she? Is she worthy?]
Without the haters, the fans quietly listened to the live broadcast.
Because it was the first time she talked about the universe, Ying Zijin explained it very simply, and the fans could understand.
One and a half hours of the stream passed quickly.
When Ying Zijin was about to go offline, she remembered that she had promised the audience.
She took out her phone, opened the ISC Quiz App, went to her personal information column, and put it under the camera.
At this moment, all the 6 million fans watching the stream saw it.
There were three lines written clearly on the screen.
ID: User name is hidden
Region: Hua City
Accumulated points: 3680 points
After this page appeared, the stream exploded.
In less than 10 seconds, the popularity reached the highest level since the launch of the shark streaming platform.
34.87 million!
