Chapter 47: Brother Su Chen, Can I Be Your Shredded Potatoes?

After Su Chen previously clarified the truth behind the charity donation incident, the official platform of Douyin unbanned his account, which was named "The Number One Devoted Lover Su Chen."

Moreover, thanks to this donation event, the follower count of "The Number One Devoted Lover Su Chen" had broken through the million mark, making Su Chen a genuine major internet celebrity!

The broadcast time was rapidly approaching, and tens of thousands of viewers had already gathered early in the livestream room, chatting enthusiastically.

[Ah, I haven't seen Brother Su Chen for so long! I'm so excited. He hasn't broadcasted for over two weeks, and today he's finally going live!]

[I'm mainly here to watch the host roast people; it's always so hilarious.]

[I watched the last stream too. I have to say, this host actually has some real talent. I'm quite looking forward to it.]

[Whoa, the number of viewers in the room has already broken fifty thousand! That's awesome!]

[I just want to watch the host connect with callers and drop god-tier comments. I'm taking notes this time!]

……

Of course, besides the fans supporting Su Chen, among those fifty-plus thousand people, there were also quite a few lurking with various hidden motives.

Just as Su Weisheng had mentioned before, while many people liked Su Chen, there were equally just as many who envied and resented him.

When the scheduled time arrived, amidst the anticipation of the crowd, Su Chen finally appeared on screen to start his broadcast.

Looking at Su Chen finally showing up on their screens, the audience was initially about to burst into cheers and screams. But when they suddenly noticed the guitar in his arms, an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

[What the heck, Host? What are you trying to do holding a guitar?]

[Bro, stop messing around, put down the guitar! If you have something to say, let's talk it out nicely!]

[We are all here to support you, and this is how you hurt us? No, please don't!]

[Don't do anything rash, Host! You're scaring us like this.]

……

Seeing the resistance and panic flooding the barrage screen, Su Chen couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

I couldn't care less. If I just grant all your wishes, where am I supposed to get my annoyance points?

Giving a light cough to clear his throat, Su Chen smiled and said, "A song called 'Old Driver, Give Me a Ride,' dedicated to all the precious fans who have been so passionately supporting me. I hope you'll like it!"

Before anyone in the audience could even react, Su Chen went ahead and started playing and singing on his own.

Since there was no female vocalist present during the live stream, Su Chen had to rely on his professional SSS-tier pop singing skills to directly perform a cross-gender vocal impersonation.

The fans in the livestream were initially resistant, typing out desperate pleas of refusal, but the moment Su Chen's uniquely clear, enthusiastic, and bright female voice rang out, the barrage screen instantly fell dead silent for a moment!

[Holy crap, is this the original singer? I never expected the host to have this kind of hidden talent!]

[Good lord, my ears must be malfunctioning. Is the host actually singing in a female voice right now?]

[Even though this song is insanely catchy and bizarre, I have to admit the host's singing skills are top-notch.]

[Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Host, if you stop singing, we can still be good friends!]

[How should I put it? Hearing this leaves me with mixed feelings. I don't know whether to admire it or despise it.]

When the song ended—after a mere two or three minutes—Su Chen had reaped nearly twenty thousand annoyance points, proving just how astonishingly efficient this method was.

At the same time, in the room right next to Su Chen's, Zhou Yujie stared blankly at Su Chen on her screen.

Though she had long known that Su Chen's vocal skills were quite good, she never imagined they were good enough to reach this level.

It would have been one thing if he sang well in a male voice, but how could he pull off a female cross-gender impersonation so vividly and lifelike?

While feeling happy and proud for him in her heart, Zhou Yujie couldn't help but feel a deep sense of a blow to her confidence.

With singing skills this exceptional, and the ability to compose such brilliant songs like "Someone Like Me" all by himself, Su Chen was undoubtedly much better suited to be a singer than she was!

Looking at the barrage screen filled with complaints and praises alike, Su Chen smiled and put down the guitar.

"I've finished singing. Thank you all so much for coming to my livestream today, and I hope you enjoyed my original song!"

The viewers watching the stream felt deeply conflicted and complicated inside. Honestly, Su Chen's singing was fantastic and genuinely deserved praise.

However, since he had sung such a brainwashing and bizarre song as "Old Driver, Give Me a Ride," they found it extremely difficult to offer compliments, leaving their words stuck awkwardly in their throats.

[Host, to be completely honest, as long as you don't sing this song next time, we will definitely support you, seriously!]

[I have to say, my feelings right now are indescribable. This opening performance is truly hard to review, but you've got guts, Host!]

[Big Brother Host, I'm begging you, please stop singing. My heart can't take it anymore.]

[Well, the singing technique is indeed great, but this song is just out of this world!]

……

After this unconventional opening performance concluded, Su Chen chatted casually and rambled about random topics with the audience in the livestream.

As for the usual questions thrown out in the barrage, Su Chen would answer as many as he could to satisfy their curiosity.

As for questions like "How many rounds can the host go in a single night?" or "What positions do you prefer?" and other overly suggestive driving inquiries, Su Chen naturally turned a blind eye and avoided answering.

Am I supposed to tell you guys about how I went deep into enemy territory last night, fighting single-handedly until the two opponents collapsed in defeat and surrendered their weapons? You must be joking! Besides, I don't want to get banned into solitary confinement!

In less than an hour of broadcasting, the number of viewers in Su Chen's room had broken the upper limit of one hundred thousand, even surging into the top ranks of the livestream charts.

Meanwhile, the gifts sent by the audience made Su Chen's eyes spin in dizziness as they lit up the screen!

In an old residential complex in Cang County, neighbors and relatives had spontaneously gathered at Su Chen's home to watch his broadcast together.

However, rather than watching Su Chen's stream, they were more mesmerized by the special effects of the viewers' gifts.

"Wow, I know this gift that looks like an amusement park. Just one of those costs over a thousand yuan!"

"Really? I've already seen people send five or six of them in here. Doesn't that mean it's already five or six thousand? That's so much!"

"Heh, what's a thousand-yuan amusement park? That Carnival is the truly expensive one; just a single one costs three thousand yuan! I just went and counted, there are seven of them! Oh my god!"

"Wow, calculating it like that, Ah-chen can easily make over one hundred thousand yuan from just a single livestream? That is truly amazing!"

"Only more than that, not less! Weisheng, Wenqing, your son has really made something of himself! He's already started making big money!"

……

Faced with the flattery of the neighbors and relatives, Lin Wenqing's smile stretched from ear to ear as she continuously urged them to eat fruit.

On the other hand, looking at this scene, Su Weisheng felt a slow-rising sense of worry in his heart. It wasn't because of Su Chen, but rather because of these fiercely envious fellow villagers.

He knew these people very well. After this, there would undoubtedly be a steady stream of people coming to their homes to borrow money or freeload, and just as many hiding behind their backs, green with envy, making snide remarks or even plotting malicious acts.

It wasn't that their innate character was inherently evil, but it fit the old saying: people hate their brothers for being poor, yet fear them driving a Land Rover...

We'll just have to wait and see, take it one step at a time, Su Weisheng thought to himself with a soft sigh.

Time flew by, and the broadcast quickly reached the segment the viewers had eagerly anticipated: the live connection segment.

Drawing from their experience last time, the audience was clearly well-prepared this time around.

The scale of the conversation during the very first connection of the night was so shockingly bold that it left people dumbfounded.

Female viewer: [Brother Su Chen, do you like eating shredded potatoes?]

The Number One Devoted Lover Su Chen: [Yeah, I actually like it quite a bit!]

Female viewer: [Then can I be your potato?]

The Number One Devoted Lover Su Chen: [Why? Why do you say that?]

Female viewer: [Because I want to get shredded by you...]

……

Such a brazen pickup line left not only the audience in the livestream room, but even the worldly and experienced Su Chen, dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.

So you anonymity-seekers really dare to play this wildly, huh? Alright, alright, you've got skills and you certainly know how to play!

Perhaps because the first viewer completely derailed the tone with her suggestive driving, the second caller delivered an even heavier bombshell when connected.

Connected viewer: [Host, if I go to a milk tea shop now and buy a fresh taro puree milk tea, but I don't want the fresh milk and I don't want the taro puree, what do you think I'm asking for, Host?]

The Number One Devoted Lover Su Chen: [You're obviously asking to reach the heavens! Driving this fast, aren't you afraid of crashing? This is almost as fast as a space rocket!]

……

Connected viewer: [What word hurts when put together, but feels amazing when taken apart?]

The Number One Devoted Lover Su Chen: [......]

What kind of grudges do you little perverts hold against me? I've only just started the broadcast, and you're already trying to get my room banned?! You can't play dirty like this!

……

Thus, under the relentless wave of mischief from several consecutive callers, the atmosphere in the livestream room exploded instantly! The popularity reached a boiling point, and the viewers in the room were having the time of their lives, laughing hysterically!
