The Tipping King: How I Mastered Live-Stream Alchemy - Chapter 18 - You Think You Understand This Live Broadcast Room, But You Really Don't!

Hype… hype gambit???

Everyone was baffled, staring blankly at the streamer.

What does it mean?

“It’s simple, folks!”

“What kind of live broadcast room is this?”

“A Golden Hustle live broadcast room!”

“But why does a King spend money in your live broadcast room?”

“You have to provide emotional value!”

Jiang Feng explained, “For example, today a King goes to another live broadcast room, and the streamer there says, ‘Welcome, King xxx.’ The King thinks, ‘Wow, such a big streamer personally welcomes me, don’t I feel important right away?'”

“With that sense of importance, wouldn’t the King be inclined to support the streamer during a PK battle?”

Jiang Feng paused with a smile, “But!”

“It’s different in our live broadcast room!”

“We’re a small live broadcast room. Even if the streamer says ‘Welcome, King xxx’ a thousand times, the King might not feel special.”

“So how do we make the King feel important?”

“That’s where you all come in!”

“When the streamer says, ‘Welcome, King xxx,’ you guys immediately highlight the King! Tag the King on the public screen!”

[Lv2 Fairy Mist: “…That’s all it takes?”]

[Lv5 Berserker: “Just tag the King?”]

[Lv16 Plain Water: “I think I get it, the streamer knows a thing or two.”]

The Chat was somewhat understanding.

Jiang Feng chuckled, “Of course, you have to follow the streamer’s lead! Just hearing it might not make it clear, but with over 50 of you here today, let’s make a bet. If a King shows up later, I’ll teach you live, and you just have to cooperate!”

“If I can’t keep the King, feel free to criticize!”

[Lv7 September Moon: “Really?”]

[Lv14 Sagittarius: “Haha, this is interesting, looking forward to a King passing by.”]

“Of course, that’s just the first step.”

Jiang Feng smiled, “Keeping the King is the streamer’s job, but getting the King to send gifts requires your help. As I said before! Hype gambit! What is hype talk? In our live broadcast room, it doesn’t matter if you have money or not, or whether you actually send gifts.”

“Just say you have 10 yuan you can’t spend.”

“When the PK starts, and the streamer asks who can send gifts, let’s get the public screen buzzing!”

“If I happen to pick you, feel free to send whatever you want, even a Tiny Heart is fine.”

“Let’s get the atmosphere going.”

“Got it?”

[Lv8 Newbie Small Bean: “Pfft~~ I’m dying of laughter, got it, we’re supposed to pretend to be Kings.”]

[Lv7 September Moon: “Cool, so this is the hype gambit.”]

[Lv5 Berserker: “I’m familiar with this, streamer, pick me later, I’ll send you a lollipop!”]

[Lv2 Fairy Mist: “Haha, the streamer is too slick, the Kings will be baffled, this live broadcast room is lining up to send gifts!”]

[Lv8 Don’t waste my youth: “King: If you’re all sending Tiny Hearts, then I’ll send a Tiny Heart too.”]

The Chat was in stitches.

The live broadcast room might not have many people, but the streamer sure knows how to stir things up!

Getting the Chat to pretend to be Kings, what a move!

However, to be honest, Jiang Feng’s words really got them excited. Usually, when they go to other live broadcast rooms and throw in a yuan or two, the streamer doesn’t even glance at them, completely ignoring their presence.

But it’s different in this live broadcast room.

The streamer might call them “poor bastards,” but he genuinely includes them in the fun!

[Lv11 Sleepless Little Sheep: “Don’t worry, streamer! I’m the best at playing the King!”]

[Lv21 Thirteenth Aunt: “I’ve got tickets ready. When you call me, I’ll definitely send gifts!”]

[Lv5 Berserker: “Count me in!”]

[Lv5 Wangzai Beef: “+1!”]

[Lv2 Fairy Mist: “+1!”]

[Lv8 Don’t waste my youth: “+1!”]

[Lv23 ChildishQueen: “(laughs) So that’s how it is…”]

[Lv8 Don’t waste my youth: “Streamer, start the PK quickly, let’s practice! (impatient)”]

Jiang Feng laughed heartily, “Alright!”

Oh sister, you haven’t really grasped my moves yet.

What do you mean by “so that’s how it is”?

You think you understand the live broadcast room, but you really don’t!

Do you really think they won’t step up?

Just watch.

[Ding! Streamer ‘Jiang Feng Loves to Hustle’ is starting a random PK battle…]

…

[Stellar Guild Chat Group]

[Manager Shen Jianfeng: “Quick, quick, quick! That streamer has started a PK battle, let’s get our brothers and sisters to connect quickly!”]

[Streamer Xiao Yu: “Received! Engaging in random PK!”]

[Streamer Cloud Shadow: “Received! Engaging in random PK!”]

[Streamer Naturally Uncommon: “Received! Baiyu-Ge!”]

[Streamer Baiyu: “Received! I’m connecting too!”]

A few seconds later.

[Manager Shen Jianfeng: “Did anyone connect?”]

[Streamer Xiao Yu: “…I didn’t.”]

[Streamer Cloud Shadow: “Neither did I.”]

[Streamer Naturally Uncommon: “I connected with a King, but not with him.”]

[Streamer Baiyu: “…I see he’s already connected with an unfamiliar small streamer, seems like one without a guild.”]

[Manager Shen Jianfeng: “(sighs) Alright, keep waiting! I refuse to believe we can’t catch him tonight!”]

…

Sweet7’s live broadcast room.

“Let’s do a PK, I just learned this, don’t laugh at me.”

Sweet7 said with a sweet voice.

She bit her lip shyly, her big eyes revealing a hint of bashfulness.

As a media university student, she had a dorm mate who made thousands of yuan a month from streaming.

Sweet7 couldn’t help but feel tempted.

But she didn’t have much streaming experience, and had never played PK before.

Fortunately, being in a media university, Sweet7 knew she had a decent appearance, so she chose a very niche streaming path.

Storytelling!

And wouldn’t you know it.

With her gentle looks and sweet voice, Sweet7 actually gained over 1,000 followers in a week!

Her live broadcast room now had over 100 regular viewers, which was a great start.

The only problem was… no income!

Yes, no income!

Here’s the thing… it’s a double-edged sword.

Gentle storytelling is quite interesting, but it requires a sense of immersion.

Whenever someone sent a gift, Sweet7 would get conflicted.

Thanking them would interrupt the story’s immersion, and viewers might leave.

But if she didn’t thank them… the King who sent the gift would feel unappreciated, and might not send gifts next time.

So Sweet7 came up with a clever idea.

Since pure storytelling didn’t bring income, she’d do PK battles instead. After each story, she’d have a PK battle.

This way, she ensured income without disrupting the storytelling immersion.

“I’m not good at PK, but I hope the Kings and Queens watching will support me for my effort in storytelling.”

Sweet7 smiled sweetly.
