The Tipping King: How I Mastered Live-Stream Alchemy

Jiang Feng: “Hello!”

Meng: “…”

Streamer Meng was a bit stunned. What on earth is this ‘Golden Hustler’… Is the opposing streamer really that brazen?

Sure, we’re all here for the Golden Hustle, but do you have to be so blunt about it?

Then she glanced at the number of people in the opposing live broadcast room-wow, 20 people?

Meng’s face immediately fell!

Isn’t this just getting in the way of my earnings?

Meng: “Sorry… handsome guy, I…”

Jiang Feng immediately interrupted: “Don’t panic! I’ve got a King here!”

Meng: ?

Jiang Feng scoffed: Do you think I don’t understand your little schemes?

Do you even grasp the weight of a top sales champion?

Do you think I haven’t done my streaming homework?

Tea Bitch!

I can tell what you’re up to just by the way you move!

Chenmu Yuebai: ???

Why do I suddenly feel like this involves me too?

Jiang Feng looked impatient: “So, have you seen my King? Are we doing this PK or not? I’ll make you blossom like a peach!”

Lv49?!

Meng was so excited she almost lost control: “Let’s do it! We have to! You tell me how!”

Jiang Feng chuckled: “Who wants to play with you? Let’s mute and fundraise, see if you’re worth my King’s effort!”

With that, Jiang Feng clicked and muted the other side!

Muted!

It’s not that Jiang Feng didn’t want to play Interactive PK with her.

Mainly because if she heard the conversation in his live broadcast room, it might give things away!

It’s worth mentioning…

Streamer PK usually falls into two categories: Muted Fundraising and Interactive PK.

Muted Fundraising means both sides can’t hear each other speak, only seeing each other’s lip movements and expressions through the PK screen.

After the 5-minute PK ends, they can hear each other’s voices.

Interactive PK is the opposite.

From the start to the end of the PK, both streamers can hear each other speak.

During this process, although there’s fundraising, there’s more interaction between the two streamers, like playing little games to enhance the show.

Jiang Feng was definitely not interested in playing Interactive PK with her…

He immediately muted and slammed the table, shouting: “Come on! Let’s welcome my King!! Lv1 Berserker!!!”

The live broadcast room was almost in stitches.

“Hahaha, I’m dying, Lv1 King goes to battle!”

“What? Are you looking down on my King? My King is a Berserker! Scary, isn’t it?!”

“Cool!”

Sun Chen was also amused, this streamer really knows how to spice things up.

Say what you will.

The showmanship and emotional value are absolutely on point!

Putting himself in the Berserker’s shoes.

He felt if he were this Berserker, the five yuan in his pocket wouldn’t be staying there today…

Let’s just say… this guy truly deserves the title of Golden Hustler!

He won’t even let five yuan slip by!

“Hey, hey, hey! What’s going on with the bullet screen!”

Jiang Feng looked serious: “Show some respect for my King! Get that ‘Clout’ up!”

[Lv5 Wangzai Beef: “Clout!!”]

[Lv7 September Moon: “King! We’re with you! Go! @Berserker!”]

[Lv2 Fairy Mist: “@Berserker! Clout!!”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “King! Clout! @Berserker!”]

[…]

Ah, that’s more like it!

Jiang Feng was satisfied. “King, what do you say? Double the gifts in the first 30 seconds to give them a real shock?”

Berserker was stunned. Staring at the 88 Diamonds left from grabbing Lucky Bags, he gritted his teeth!

[‘Berserker (Lv1)’ gifted the streamer ‘Tiny Hearts x8’!]

Each Tiny Heart was worth a dime! Eight Tiny Hearts meant eighty cents!

“What the heck!!!” Jiang Feng jumped up, shouting in astonishment, “Awesome! My King started with 8 Tiny Hearts! Doubled, that’s 16 points. Let’s see how the other side responds!”

[Lv5 Wangzai Beef: “Hahaha, I’m dying here!”]

[Lv7 September Moon: “I feel like I’m going to laugh myself to death in this live broadcast room. King has got the power!”]

[Lv2 Fairy Mist: “King must have the power!”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Clout!!! @Berserker!”]

Jiang Feng shouted, “King, hold steady! 8 Tiny Hearts have already stunned the other side! Let’s conserve our firepower! Second Battalion Commander! Where’s the Second Battalion Commander! Bring my King’s Italian cannon over!”

“If they dare to retaliate, my King will blast them away!”

[Lv7 September Moon: “Hahaha, an Italian cannon, really?!”]

[Lv2 Fairy Mist: “Haha! I really feel sorry for the other side!”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Reporting, Captain! I’ve brought the cannon!”]

[Lv5 Wangzai Beef: “Pfft! The only real King in the live broadcast room is having fun too! Haha!~”]

[Ding, Lv16 Mountain River has entered the stream!]

[Lv16 Mountain River (confused face): What’s happening???? World War?]

[Lv7 September Moon: “Hahahahaha”]

[…]

Jiang Feng’s live broadcast room was going wild.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Meng was utterly bewildered.

[PK Meter: 16 vs 0!]

[PK Clock: 2 minutes 12 seconds remaining…]

What?

Isn’t the first 30 seconds of PK supposed to be doubled?

What’s with the 8 Tiny Hearts from the other side?

Are they looking down on me?

Could it be that the King on the other side plans to do a last-minute snipe in the final 30 seconds?

Meng was questioning everything, her mind racing… Hmm, it’s possible. As everyone knows, in PK, both the first and last 30 seconds have doubled Diamonds. Kings usually like to send gifts during these times.

After all, sending one Carnival is equivalent to two Carnivals in points.

In other words, it saves the King one Carnival!

Meng: “Ahem, dear brothers in the live broadcast room, can you bear to see Meng lose so miserably?”

“The other side only has 16 points, could any kind-hearted brother buy Meng a pair of sunglasses, and we’d immediately surpass them…”

Meng felt she had figured it out!

This must be a test from the King on the other side!

The Lv49 King hasn’t made a move yet.

A few scattered points have left her powerless to fight back, how could this be!

Once her PK Meter surpasses the other side, the Lv49 King will definitely make a move in the last 30 seconds!

Yes!

That’s it!

Meng felt like she had become enlightened, so she doubled down on her coquettish pleading: “Oh~ dear brother~ dear brother, are you just going to watch your little sister get beaten up? I won’t like you anymore~”

Finally, after Meng’s relentless efforts.

A Chat couldn’t take it anymore: “Ugh, I really can’t stand it, okay, here are two lollipops for you to play with~”

[‘Chat XXX (Lv5)’ gifted the streamer ‘lollipop x2’!]

Meng feigned surprise: “Thank you, brother~~”

[PK Meter: 16 vs 20!]

[PK Clock: 1 minute 12 seconds … …]

…

In Jiang Feng’s live broadcast room.

The bullet screen went wild!

[Lv7 September Moon: “Damn! The opponent’s PK Meter is rising, @Berserker, King, it’s your turn!”]

[Lv2 Fairy Mist: “Daring to surpass my King? Where’s the artillery? Set it up for my King!”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Fire!!!”]

“Wait!”

Jiang Feng shouted loudly, startling Berserker so much that the gift he was about to send suddenly halted!

“Brothers, don’t be fooled! It’s not double point time yet, the opponent wants to lure my Berserker-Ge¹ into gifting, then wait for the last 30 seconds to last-second snipe!”

“Think about it! Isn’t that the case!”

Jiang Feng’s expression was grave: “Hiss! The opponent’s intelligence is fierce, and their tactics are more ruthless than I anticipated!”

“Such a cunning plan!”

[Lv7 September Moon (shocked): “The opponent is so shameless?!”]

[Lv16 Mountain River (seriously): “King! What should we do now!”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Fire!!!”]

[Lv2 Fairy Mist (disdainful): “@Chenmu Yuebai, chill dude, listen to King’s command!”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: ” … … “]

The live broadcast room became even more jovial.

New viewers quickly adapted to their roles.

Jiang Feng glanced at the bullet screen, and continued in a deep voice: “The best plan now … … ”

Footnote:

Ge(哥):In Chinese culture, it is quite common to address someone as “xx 哥” (pronounced as “xx ge”). The term “Ge” means “older brother” and, when used in this context, typically carries a sense of affection and friendliness. It indicates respect and amiability towards the person, similar to calling someone “bro” or “big brother” in English.
