The rest is much simpler. Li Xiao cut the long beef ribs into small pieces, marinated them with black pepper and salt and put them aside, then fried them in the pan when needed.
After washing his hands, Li Xiao was ready to say goodbye to the audience for the time being. After all, it was still a long time before dinner.
However, his request to be removed from the broadcast was strongly opposed by the audience.
"Please, it's only during the New Year's Day that the live broadcast is over. Isn't it a bit outrageous to want to run away after an hour?"
"That's right, it makes people unable to get up or down."
"You're looking so enthusiastically. You said you're done?"
"That's right, if the anchor doesn't live broadcast cooking, you can chat with us!"
"I think it's better to go to other live broadcast rooms to watch. We now have almost 300,000 online viewers. As long as we don't meet the top anchors, we can almost sweep them all."
"Yeah, I've been watching the anchor's live broadcast for so long, and I've never seen the anchor compete with others. Now he's in the top seven of the popularity list."
"Yes, yes, we have the strength in numbers. Let's go and sweep up quickly to suppress the power of other anchors!!"
"That's right, anchor. During the New Year, we have money to build up your momentum. Anyway, I promise to guarantee a rocket, so you can rest assured."
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, the anchor PK is the connection between the anchors on both sides.
Then the two parties will perform some talent performances or chat and interact, or exchange some topics.
Often the anchors on both sides of the PK will be at war with each other, and then their respective fans will give rewards to their own anchor stations.
Of course, there will also be some relatively friendly situations. For example, if the two parties know each other personally or are in the same guild, the anchors on both sides will communicate more politely and try their best to increase their own popularity and the other's.
Popularity.
Of course, there will be some special circumstances. Things like people who originally knew each other and were broadcasting in the same guild but deliberately followed the script to quarrel with each other, attract public attention, and encourage fans of both parties to reward each other, etc., also happen from time to time.
There is always a winner or loser in live PK, and the loser usually has to be punished a lot. Of course, these penalties are usually negotiated before the PK.
Things like squatting and jumping, turning off beauty, or saying some insulting words are all very common.
Li Xiao has always known that there is such a thing, but has never participated in it. In the past, the popularity was too low, and some popular anchors were not willing to connect with small anchors like herself.
Later, the popularity increased rapidly, and there was no need to rely on this slightly negative method to make money and increase popularity.
After all, if you want to win PK, you have to encourage your fans to give rewards, which he doesn't quite agree with.
Audiences will naturally reward you if they are happy watching it. If they think your broadcast is not good, they will not watch it again. This is a very real problem, but in the process of live PK, rewards become purposeful.
.
Amid the host's encouragement and the opponent's host's abuse, some viewers will spend a lot of money to reward their own host for winning the game. On the other hand, when they see their own host being surpassed by the other party, they will also be indignant and start a tug-of-war.
.
During the live broadcast, some ladies will even promise some very tempting conditions in order to win the support of the big brothers on the reward list.
For example, you can add private chat on WeChat, voice chat, or even go out to eat directly. It is not known whether you will go home after the meal or what will happen.
Therefore, Li Xiao is quite disgusted with this kind of behavior, but he does not make too many comments. After all, existence is reasonable. As long as this form still exists, it proves that it has the meaning and value of its existence.
However, just when Li Xiao refused the PK and was about to go offline, a PK invitation popped up.
He frowned slightly and was about to close it directly. He had encountered such PK invitations in the live broadcast room before, and he always closed it directly. Although this was a bit rude, it could avoid a lot of problems.
The introduction on his own homepage states that he will not accept the PK invitation.
Otherwise, the number of his PK invitations may increase more than ten times or even dozens of times.
After all, it is the dream of some small anchors to ride on the popularity of big anchors, and every month there are always two or three anchors who step on the corpses of their predecessors to rise from obscurity to the top.
Therefore, some new anchors or anchors who are not very popular are very willing to compete with big anchors, even if they lose miserably and are laughed at, even if the other party makes very excessive and outrageous defeat demands.
These little anchors are always happy to do it. Even if they know that they will definitely lose, they will still be happy to do so.
Because even though they will lose, being able to appear in front of hundreds of thousands of people is a great opportunity for them.
This is just like those extra actors who are unwilling to leave in Hengdian. The reason why they do the most tiring work and earn the lowest salary is just to appear in the movie for even one minute and say even one line. Then he was spotted by Bole and soared into the sky.
Therefore, these small anchors know that they will become the jokes and nourishment of the big anchors, but they will still rush towards them like moths to a flame, just for the slim chance of becoming famous.
But when Li Xiao saw it clearly and called out the name of the PK anchor, his brows furrowed slightly.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the anchor's name seemed a bit familiar.
Kitten-chan?
The more I read, the more familiar this name became. Suddenly, Li Xiao had a flash of inspiration and finally remembered where he had seen this name.
Isn't this the first sister in the food section two months ago, Kitty Sauce?
I met her once in the Jinsha Hall in Hangzhou, and asked her why she felt so familiar.
But he was even more confused, why did the other party suddenly come to him to live broadcast PK? He didn't seem to know her?
And as her first sister, how could she take the initiative to PK with others? If he wanted to PK, wouldn't there be a group of people lining up waiting for him to PK?
Is it a high imitation account with the same name? But that’s not right. Mao Mao Live has name authentication rules. It is impossible for such a similar name to pass the authentication. And there is a golden V next to the other party’s name, which means that this account is the system Verified anchor account.
After excluding all possibilities, there is only one conclusion left. Is it really Kitty-chan himself who came to live broadcast the PK with me?
But after understanding it, his brows furrowed even deeper. What kind of situation is this? Why would the other party come to him for a PK?
Wait, Li Xiao remembered a piece of news he had seen on the forum before. The protagonist of the news was none other than Mao Maojiang. He said that the live broadcast room was bombarded because he refused dinner invitations from several rich people.
The live broadcast room has been invited by a large number of trolls to make slanderous speeches, so that for a long time recently, it has not even been possible to broadcast normally.
Because the live barrage was full of abuse, they not only cursed the host, but also joined forces to curse the audience. Although the audience resisted, the other parties fought as a team, and the professional curse technology was very powerful, and everyone had a one-click macro to curse people.
software, the more people scolded the audience, the more they abandoned their armor.
This also caused the audience popularity of her live broadcast room to plummet, falling directly out of the top ten of the popularity list. Recently, many sets of unspeakable photos and private videos about Koneko-chan were exposed on the Internet.
Although Mao Maojiang stated through various channels that the photos in these video accounts were all false and that the people on them were not herself but were synthesized through computer AI, the situation was out of control.
Many passers-by didn't understand why and joined in Heizi's scolding battle, causing her popularity to plummet again and again, so much so that recently she can no longer even be seen in the top 100 of the popularity list.
It was also because of this that it took Li Xiao so long to remember the identity of the other party.
After all, if the anchor industry is invisible for a few days, it will really disappear into the sea of people.
But when I think about it, I was just a little anchor with tens of thousands of fans, and the other party, as the top lady in the food area, greeted me, a little-known guy, with a smile.
Based on such kindness towards strangers and the shoddy production of those photos and videos, Li Xiao absolutely did not believe that they were taken by herself.
Of course, the reason why he was sure was mainly because of the former. He hesitated and clicked to accept the invitation.
At the same time, he sent a message to Jiang Yingxue, asking her not to misunderstand and briefly explaining the whole story.
Otherwise, Li Xiao is really afraid that his jealous little will make trouble in the live broadcast room again, which will be troublesome.
After clicking to accept the invitation, the interface of the live broadcast room changed from one screen to two screens. When the screen jumped, he finally saw the kitten-chan whom he had met two months ago.
He didn't know if it was due to the beautification effect, but he always felt that the other person's appearance was very different from two months ago.
Face slimming and whitening seem to be a bit outrageous, but after a closer look, it seems that it is not a special beauty effect, but a real unsightly complexion.
Li Xiao took another look at the number of people in the other party's live broadcast room. There were only more than 20,000 people there. It was outrageous that an anchor with more than 10 million fans had only 20,000 fans in the live broadcast room.
Mao Maojiang opposite obviously didn't recognize Li Xiaolai. After all, who would remember a young anchor whom they met more than two months ago, let alone two months later? I'm afraid they would forget it when they get up the next day.
Mao Maojiang saw the live broadcast of PK and said hello quickly:
"Hello, Xiaoxiao, I'm Mao Maojiang. I'm very happy to be connected with you live."
However, just such a simple greeting to the live broadcast room on the opposite side immediately burst into dozens of abuses.
"Let me go, is there anyone actually connected to this bitch?"
"Tsk, I have a lot of concubines."
“At that time, there were dozens of sets of pictures online, but I don’t know how many there were in reality!”
Seeing these barrages, Koneko-chan's face became visibly worse, but for the sake of the live broadcast effect, she still managed to maintain a smile.
Li Xiao frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, the reality was more serious than he imagined. He could even see that the other party's eyes were already red, and it seemed that he had cried once before.
He quickly said hello:
"Hello, hello, Kitty-chan, nice to be connected with you."
Jiang Yingxue, who was far away in Nanjing, immediately felt dissatisfied when she saw such a beautiful young lady opposite the live broadcast room.
But looking at the text messages on my phone, I immediately suppressed my dissatisfaction, thinking that it was just an online connection, a matter of ten minutes.
This is also Li Xiao's job. He must not think too much, otherwise it will be bad if it affects his work.
After some pleasantries, we quickly got to the point. The stakes were not big, and the losing side only needed to sing a song. Li Xiao agreed without hesitation. Seeing the haggard look of the other party, he didn't want to spend more time.
Trouble the other person.
Mao Maojiang lowered the camera, and bowls of crayfish immediately appeared in the live broadcast room. Mao Maojiang said over there:
"Thank you to the audience for your support. For every one thousand reward, I will eat a bowl of crayfish. For every reward of rocket, I will eat eleven bowls. That means one bowl will be given for ten bowls. Please."
"Also, thank you. The place where I am now is the leading lobster shop at No. 24, Jin Street, Qianda Plaza, Xinhui District, Jiangmen City. Thank you to the boss for providing us with the crayfish. The crayfish here are plump and meaty.
It tastes great, and it’s also open during the Chinese New Year. Everyone is welcome to come and try it!”
After hearing what Mao Maojiang said, Li Xiao realized that Mao Maojiang's current location was actually in a crayfish restaurant.
Because Li Xiao also did food promotion before getting the system.
As soon as he heard the words behind Mao Maojiang, he understood that the other party must be promoting the other party's crayfish shop, otherwise he wouldn't have given such a specific address, and at most he would have just mentioned the name of the shop as well as business conditions.
That's all.
Li Xiao couldn't help but envy the richness of this crayfish restaurant. You know, the asking price for a one-hour live broadcast promotion with three to four million fans like his own is 100,000.
If an anchor like Kitty-chan with millions of fans goes live for a live broadcast, she will probably earn hundreds of thousands more in two or three hours.
Generally speaking, smaller restaurants, even if they have deep pockets, simply cannot hire anchors of this level.
After all, different anchors have different values. If you go to a little-known little fly restaurant to promote, then other big brands will have more eyes when considering you.
However, Li Xiao also forgot about the current situation of Mao Maojiang. If he knew that Mao Maojiang only received 30,000 yuan in promotion fees from his boss, he would definitely make his eyes drop.
Mao Maojiang didn't eat very fast, but when Li Xiao saw more than 10 bowls piled next to her, she understood why she ate slowly.
This is definitely not Koneko-chan's first connection. There have been at least several or even a dozen connections.
This bowl looks really big. There are at least a dozen lobsters in a bowl, which means that this bowl is at least a pound.
That is to say, Mao Maojiang has eaten more than 10 kilograms of crayfish before the live broadcast. This more than 10 kilograms sounds a bit exaggerated, but in fact it is not a lot. After all, if you only eat the body of the crayfish, the weight will be reduced by at least half.
.
But then I thought about it, even if it was only half, it would be six or seven pounds. If a girl eats six or seven pounds of meat, it is not too little.
Watching Mao Maojiang peeling the shrimps and stuffing the shrimp meat into his mouth, Li Xiao's frown deepened.
Because he remembered his experience when he participated in the Big Eater Competition, and the feeling of intestines pressing into his throat, he really didn't want to try it a second time.
However, even though Mao Maojiang had to eat so hard, the enthusiasm of the more than 20,000 fans in her live broadcast room did not seem to be very high. After eating for 5 minutes, she ate two full bowls of crayfish, and the rewards in her live broadcast room were only
More than 2,000.
On the other hand, Li Xiao was just casually chatting with the audience, and the reward instantly exceeded 15,000. The PK red line at the top of the live broadcast room interface instantly suppressed Mao Maojiang.
Mao Maojiang’s pitiful reward of more than 2,000 yuan was not even a fraction of Li Xiao’s.
Seeing this scene, in the live broadcast room of Mao Maojiang, all the black fans immediately jumped out and started to set the rhythm.
"It's really ridiculous that you still want to be the girl from the food court? Just this little PK value? You don't even have a fraction of the other party's. Go home early and find a classmate!"
"There are more than 10 million fans, and I suspect 10 million of them were bought."
"This business really doesn't have any information. Didn't you ask before hiring someone? You dare to ask our sister to do live broadcast promotion? Are you really not afraid of teaching bad things to children?"
"Perhaps I got the promotion just by accompanying my boss. Isn't that what is said online?"
"This is quite a deal. You can enjoy two services for one price."
"Ha ha!!"
I don’t know if Kitty-chan saw this barrage, or she choked because she ate too quickly, and coughed so hard that tears came out.
Li Xiao's frown deepened. What these people said was really unpleasant.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to help with a few words of kindness, the live broadcast time of PK was coming. There is no doubt that a PK value of more than 2,000 is no match for a PK value of more than 10,000.
Kitty-chan quickly put down the lobster on her hand, picked up the paper towel next to her and wiped her hands and mouth.
She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her sleeve. Even so, there was still a forced smile on his face.
"The PK value is only over 2,000. The gap is really too big. Now please ask the handsome guy opposite to click a song."
Yes, the losing party has to sing, and the song needs to be designated by the other party. Of course, some anchors will specially designate some vulgar songs to make the losing anchor even more embarrassing and funny, and bring joy to their own audience.
Joke.
Li Xiao pondered for a few seconds and decided on the song to choose.
Of course he didn't choose a bad song, but a very simple song with more positive lyrics.
"Well, let's sing a song "Tomorrow will be better." I hope that the ladies next door and all the gentlemen in the audience will be better tomorrow, and preferably the whole year will be better."
Kitty-chan was obviously stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the other party would order such a simple song.
You must know that in the seven or eight live broadcasts just now, even if the host who won the opposite team did not ridicule him, he would still sing some weird songs by himself.
The round just now was relatively good. The opponent just asked me to sing a square dance song, and there were several others who asked me to sing "Eighteen Touches" and "Hey Hey Hey".
After all, I was the former first sister, and being able to step on the former first sister's face is something that many people would never even imagine.
To be honest, if she hadn't been in urgent need of money now, and if she didn't fulfill the punishment after accepting the PK, she would be listed online, which would make her already little credibility go bankrupt again, she would not sing such a song at all.
Kitty-chan's eyes fell seriously on the anchor opposite for the first time, and then she seemed to feel that the other person looked a little familiar.
But she quickly put aside these strange thoughts. After all, as a former food live broadcaster, she had seen the anchors of the food area, which was normal.
She didn't think too much and sang this song, which is a well-known nostalgic song "Tomorrow will be better".
"Knock gently to wake up the sleeping soul, slowly open your eyes,
Look at the busy world...let our smiles be filled with the pride of youth, and let us look forward to a better tomorrow."
