Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022
In fact, he did not know that Yi Wang had posted this message for two reasons: firstly, to promote the favorite female host of Eyes Within Eyes; and secondly, to attract Zhong Kaiyu’s attention.
Originally, many people on Yi Wang’s side had already decided to help Li Changlin compete for the first place in the Monthly Ticket Ranking this month. However, the arrival of Zhong Kaiyu had put them under tremendous pressure, so they planned to use this post to severely trap Zhong Kaiyu.
If Zhong Kaiyu accepted the challenge, then the attention of everyone in Endless would be completely drawn to the conflict, and no one would care about trivial matters like the Monthly Ticket Ranking anymore.
Now, in the hearts of the majority of gamers or hosts, this month’s first place on the Monthly Ticket is definitely destined for Zhong Kaiyu.
That was why Yi Wang’s side was even more determined to create momentum.
In fact, if they were truly willing to pay a great cost, they could directly challenge Zhong Kaiyu’s team, but doing so would mean that the investment required could be several to ten times more.
Such an expenditure was not worth it, especially since Li Changlin was already planning to leave. Helping him win the first place in Monthly Ticket was already a way to honor their friendship.
If honoring this friendship meant making everyone pay hundreds of millions, the cost was simply too great and not something anyone wanted to bear.
Li Changlin was naturally unaware of these sentiments. If he had known what the former shareholders intended, he might have spoken up to stop them.
Although disrupting Zhong Kaiyu and causing trouble for Cheng Hui was also what Li Changlin wished for, since he was about to leave Endless, continuing to cause trouble seemed rather petty.
Since he was bound to face Cheng Hui sooner or later, it was better to move directly to Brotherhood and openly declare his position, which was far more appropriate than challenging a second-tier celebrity.
Li Changlin did not think much of Zhong Kaiyu, for he was involved with Heavenly Queen superstar Ye Xiyao and top-tier celebrity Luo Tianyi, and now his mentor was a Heavenly Queen superstar as well. Li Changlin’s horizons had broadened much, so how could he respect someone like Zhong Kaiyu, who lived under Cheng Hui’s shadow?
After reading the post and giving a faint smile, Li Changlin put it aside and opened the streaming software to start his broadcast.
At this time, there were already about eighty thousand players waiting in his streaming room. Since Zhong Kaiyu was not broadcasting tonight, most players had returned. Moreover, many people watched Zhong Kaiyu out of curiosity rather than genuine liking.
Zhong Kaiyu had his own circle, and on the internet, there were always people who were not convinced by him.
Entering the streaming room, Li Changlin greeted the attending fans and then initiated a fan summoning spell.
As the fans entered the streaming room, at everyone’s request, Li Changlin sang "May You Live Long."
Though many episodes of the Xuanyuan’s The Voice show had been recorded, they were not broadcast synchronously – a marketing strategy by Dragon TV.
Currently, The Voice had only broadcasted the segment where Li Changlin performed "The Drunken Concubine" in drag. However, many had seen Yang Fei’s live broadcast and knew the difficulties Li Changlin faced while performing "May You Live Long."
Due to the complications caused by Lin Qiao’en, Li Changlin was directly eliminated by the judges after singing "May You Live Long." Those who watched the live broadcast today were fine, but the players who couldn’t watch Yang Fei’s afternoon broadcast due to work couldn’t help asking about Li Changlin’s current situation.
Some even cursed Lin Qiao’en and the other judges in the chat channel, calling them blind people of privilege, who were useless despite having eyes.
Li Changlin found it rather amusing but, of course, couldn’t explain the relationship between Lin Qiao’en and Lin Ruonan, so he simply informed everyone that he had been resurrected today and had successfully eliminated a contestant.
When it was revealed that Li Changlin had been resurrected, people asked what song he had sung today and whether he continued to perform in drag. Li Changlin answered all these questions.
Surely, many players on the chat channel also participated in the interaction, as many had watched the afternoon live broadcast and were quite aware of the situation then.
Even Brother Grape surprisingly requested Li Changlin to bring both himself and Ya’er into the Mic Sequence, whereupon Ya’er performed Li Changlin’s "Lotus in the Snow" live.
Truly, Ya’er sang the song with a charm that very much matched Li Changlin’s aura.
Seeing this, Li Changlin was moved and told Brother Grape on the Mic Sequence that he wanted to pull Ya’er into a discussion group later as he had something to discuss with them.
Initially, Li Changlin and Brother Grape had ventured into Ya’er’s streaming room because Ya’er had covered Li Changlin’s songs, which led to their interaction.
Indeed, it was also because of this that Brother Grape later developed a closer relationship with Ya’er, a personal matter that was not widely known. However, since Li Changlin was soon moving to Brotherhood and Brother Grape was also one of the shareholders, he considered whether to bring Ya’er along as well.
Forming a Legion was completely different from operating a Family.
On the streaming platform, especially the large Legions, the treatment and benefits were incomparable to those of Families.
However, there were a few exceptions on Brotherhood. Besides the Ten Great Legions, there were also several strong Families who were not only players but also hosts, and this was impressive.
Brother Grape might have guessed Li Changlin’s intention, so he readily agreed to this request. Afterwards, at everyone’s request, Li Changlin sang "Lotus in the Snow" again, and everyone realized how authentic Ya’er’s cover was, almost matching the original by Li Changlin.
In fact, this was where Ya’er had an advantage. Li Changlin noticed that Ya’er’s voice was quite similar to his own, and arranged for Ya’er to mimic his drag performance on Brotherhood, potentially carving out a promising path and future.
Of course, this matter had to be agreed upon by both Ya’er and Brother Grape; only if both agreed would Li Changlin proceed.
Otherwise, he would rather not act on it, as he definitely didn\u2019t want to upset Brother Grape. After all,
