Chapter 3: Waterwood Shen
640 Words
StarBroadcast is a live-streaming platform that caters to countless dimensions, boasting an unimaginably massive daily traffic volume.
Although Alcelo's stream receives many gifts, he isn't considered a major broadcaster.
During this particular broadcast, he had over three million viewers, and his total followers numbered in the tens of millions. By Chen Shen's standards, these numbers were quite impressive.
However, on StarBroadcast, these figures barely made him a rising star. To be a popular streamer, one needs over a hundred million followers; to be a top streamer, over a billion; and to be a royal-level streamer, over a trillion.
These are just the rankings for StarBroadcast alone. In fact, Chen Shen's "Billions Reward System" can connect to more than just StarBroadcast; there are other large platforms like "StellarTV" and "WorldsLive" across various dimensions.
StellarTV hosts many popular internet celebrities, whereas WorldsLive attracts wealthy patrons.
StarBroadcast also features big names and wealthy users but primarily focuses on fresh, artistic content, and is known for its naturally beautiful streamers.
Though there aren't many internet celebrities on StarBroadcast, the resident broadcasters are all exceptionally talented and attractive, gradually drawing in a large audience. Now, StarBroadcast can stand toe-to-toe with other major platforms.
Alcelo has been broadcasting on StarBroadcast for some time now. His personality is low-key, typically involving playing music or archery. Compared to other streamers with varied programs, Alcelo's broadcasts are somewhat monotonous.
Even with his high appearance, viewers eventually find it boring to watch for long periods.
On StarBroadcast, beautiful streamers and wealthy patrons are common. Beauty can initially attract viewers, but if a streamer lacks talent and charm, they risk losing followers or turning active fans into inactive ones.
After finishing a piece of music, Alcelo smiled at the camera and waved goodbye. He broadcasts for very short periods, and his schedule is irregular, making it a matter of luck for fans to catch his streams.
Chen Shen's current ID is "Waterwood Shen," and he posted a message in the chat.
[Waterwood Shen]: "I love the music, but I think it would be even more beautiful if you sang it."
The chat was too busy, and his message disappeared almost immediately, with no chance of a response.
Chen Shen didn't mind; his compliment was sincere and part of completing a task, not expecting a reply.
He waved goodbye to Alcelo on the screen, knowing the streamer couldn't see the fans in the chat.
Exiting the "Natural Harmony" stream, Chen Shen received the 500 StarCoins reward for completing the first part of his newbie task.
He checked his liking score for Alcelo, which stood at 40—a reasonable score for his first visit.
For the daily task, Chen Shen understands the realities of the streaming industry. To get a streamer to thank a viewer for a tip, one must either spend lavishly or find a less popular stream to tip.
On StarBroadcast, a "normal mech" (worth 1,000 StarCoins) barely registers.
Earlier, in Alcelo's stream, a luxury mech worth 10,000 StarCoins had a prompt, but the streamer barely acknowledged it. This was partly due to Alcelo's reserved personality—he seldom interacts with fans.
The moderator, StarBroadcast's top fan with a value of 1.8 million, has tipped over a million StarCoins.
StarCoins are the universal currency on StarNetwork, used for transactions on various platforms. Users can exchange their local currency or equivalents. The exchange rate is based on the purchasing power of the user's currency.
If Chen Shen wanted to exchange RMB for StarCoins, it would take 10 RMB to get 1 StarCoin.
Having completed the newbie task, Chen Shen needs to find a less popular stream to tip, making it easier for the streamer to notice and thank him.
In larger streams, new viewers like Chen Shen may go unnoticed even with substantial tips due to the overwhelming number of tippers.
