I’m Really a Superstar

One spread to ten.

Ten spread to a 100.

The entire livestreaming platform burst into an uproar!

…

In Xiaoling’s channel.

The channel was in an extremely boisterous state at the moment.

Airplanes!

Cars!

Tanks!

The donations kept flooding in!

Xiaoling made a heart with her hands and said gratefully: “Thank you, Brother Little Zhou and Brother Dafei. You are all so kind to me. How far am I away from first place?”

The fans replied.

“You aren’t that far from it!”

“You’re catching up, awesome!”

“Since Xiaoling covets first place, we’ll get you first place!”

“Right! Everyone, do your best and donate as much as you can!”

The streamer holding a joint stream with Xiaoling was also canvassing for donations on her behalf. As that person was also a very popular streamer on the platform with many fans, a lot of people responded to her calls for donations to Xiaoling.

But suddenly, a lot of talk appeared.

In the chat.

“Stop donating.”

“Sister Xiaoling, let’s just forget it.”

“Cao Dan has also invited someone onto her channel to support her!”

“Quickly go and have a look at Cao Dan’s channel. Something big has happened!”

Xiaoling was startled. “What happened?”

The streamer who was helping Xiaoling smiled and said: “Even if she has roped in someone to help, so be it. Everyone is competing fair and square. We’ll just see who is more capable in the end. What’s the big deal?”

HEHE sent a fainting emote. “What’s there to compete for!”

Bluesky520 sent a sobbing emote. “Even if all the streamers of the platforms in the country were to join forces, they would also not be able to compete with that person!”

Xiaoling was taken aback. “Even if all the streamers in the country were to join forces?”

Xiaoling’s supporting streamer mocked: “Unless Cao Dan invited God Zhang Ye over!”

Xiaoling burst out laughing as well.

Invite Zhang Ye?

Are you kidding me?

The fans replied.

“She has really invited him!”

“It’s really Zhang Ye!”

“It’s him in person! It’s the real deal!”

Xiaoling was stunned. “That’s impossible!”

Xiaoling’s supporting streamer was dumbfounded. “Are you joking?”

All of a sudden, Xiaoling’s channel moderator shouted: “Damn! What the heck! What the heck! I took a look in Cao Dan’s channel! Goddamn, Zhang Ye is really there!”

Everyone was stunned!

Xiaoling’s jaw dropped so low her molars could be seen!

…

In Qiqi’s channel.

Qiqi said in surprise: “I’m no longer in first place in the donation rankings? What happened?”

The fans chatted.

“What?”

“Wasn’t she in first place just now?”

“Who jumped up into first place then?”

“It’s Cao Dan?”

“She was in third place just a while ago!”

Qiqi’s supporting streamer was suddenly taken aback. She had just received a screenshot sent by the other members of the streamers’ group chat. When she saw this screenshot, she nearly fainted. She couldn’t help but look up at Qiqi, who was sharing the other half of the screen and said: “Sister Qiqi, I doubt we can catch up.”

Qiqi asked: “Why?”

Qiqi’s supporting streamer was sweating. “Cao Dan has invited Teacher Zhang Ye over!”

“What?” Qiqi nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Damn, surely she doesn’t have to go that far, right!

This is just a competition for the platform’s donation rankings!

We’re just a small livestreaming platform!

It’s not like we’re competing to get the best actress award!

Nor competing to be the king of singers!

Why would you invite the number one person of the entertainment circle over a donation ranking?

Thinking about this, Qiqi nearly spat out another mouthful of blood. After holding it in for a long time, she finally shouted: “I’m not streaming anymore. I’m going offline!”

The fans shouted.

“Ah?”

“Where are you off to?”

“Qiqi, don’t go!”

“Why are you going offline?”

Qiqi said excitedly: “Do you need to ask? I’m going to watch that godly person on stream!”

…

In the streamers’ group chat.

“It’s really Zhang Ye!”

“Lord Zhang is so handsome!”

“Are Cao Dan and Zhang Ye really related?”

“This will surely be the entertainment headlines for today’s news!”

“Pfft, this will be super interesting to watch!”

“Yeah, it’s turning into something big this time!”

“Compete with Cao Dan on the donations ranking? What’s there still to compete on!”

“If it were any other celebrity, that would still be something to fight for. Be it Cao Dan, Shu Han, or even Ning Lan and Dong Shanshan, everyone would still have a fighting chance if it were them who came. After all, this is our home field and territory. But if it’s Zhang Ye—then how are we supposed to fight against him? That’s the boss of the entertainment circle! The number one!”

“I’m genuflecting to Cao Dan!”

“This person that she has roped in to help is totally unprecedented!”

“Ah, Qiqi has gone offline?”

“What? Sister Xiaoling has gone offline too?”

“@Qiqi, what’s going on?”

“Yiyi has gone offline too?”

“Damn, all of the streamers who were streaming just now have all gone offline? Where did they go off to?”

…

In Cao Dan’s channel.

5 million!

6 million!

7 million!

In the blink of an eye, the number of viewers in the channel had surpassed 10 million people. They were not only made up by the subscribers of the platform, even a lot of other people who didn’t usually watch streams came to have a look when they heard about this news.

Live.

Cao Dan looked on helplessly.

Zhang Ye stood beside her and put his head up to the camera. Then he smiled and said: “Thank you, everyone, for giving my cousin so much support in these past few years.” He then touched Cao Dan’s head and said: “If there’s anything my sister lacks, please bear with her. Treat it as giving me face.”

Cao Dan turned her head away and said in embarrassment, “Brother, hurry and eat.”

“Ah? I haven’t said enough yet,” Zhang Ye said.

Cao Dan pushed him away. “That’s enough. This is my channel.”

The chat was blowing up.

“Come quickly to see someone godly!”

“I’m kneeling to Dandan!”

“This is too surprising! I never expected to see Zhang Ye!”

“Lord Zhang, congratulations to you!”

“Right, you’re finally the number one!”

“Love you to death!”

“Zhang Ye, Zhang Ye, I <3 u!”

“Dandan, can we get Zhang Ye’s signature?”

At this moment, many of the popular streamers also appeared!

Qiqi said excitedly: “Damn, it’s really him in person! Lord Zhang! I want an autograph! I want an autograph! I’m your hardcore fan! Ahhhh!”

Xiaoling also commented: “It’s really God Zhang!”

Xiaoxue said: “I’m ending my stream too!”

Another male streamer: “Quick, come and see God Zhang for yourselves!”

Another female streamer: “Heavens! This is the closest I’ve ever been to Face-smacking Zhang!”

The donation notifications were pinging one after another!

Qiqi has sent an aircraft carrier!

Xiaoling has sent an aircraft carrier!

Xiaoxue has sent an aircraft carrier!

The people in the channel didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“What is Qiqi doing here as well?”

“Sister Xiaoling is here too?”

“The popular streamers are all here? Weren’t they all streaming earlier?”

“Pfft, the lure of Zhang Ye is too great.”

“So everyone is a fan of Zhang Ye!”

“This is such a rare sight to see!”

“Yeah, when have we ever seen so many popular streamers going offline from their channels to come to another one, then sending aircraft carriers as a show of support! Before this, they were all fighting to get first place in the donation rankings!”

Zhang Ye said in confusion, “How much is an aircraft carrier?”

Cao Dan explained, “It’s equivalent to 10,000 RMB!”

Zhang Ye smiled and said: “Thank you, Qiqi. Thank you, Xiaoxue. Thank you, Xiaoling.”

Cao Dan also said immediately: “Thank you, everyone.” When she saw the number of viewers in the channel, Cao Dan laughed and said: “What? There are already 10 million viewers watching? I said it just now that for every 1 million viewers we get, I’ll hold a lucky draw. Including the number of times I owe you all from just now, uh, we still have to hold seven lucky draws? What prizes would everyone like?”

Everyone started shouting.

“Zhang Ye’s autograph!”

“Zhang Ye’s nudes!”

Most were requesting these two items.

Only Qiqi said something different. “I want God Zhang’s calligraphy!”

Everyone was stunned for a moment before coming around!

“Yeah, that’s right!”

“Make the prize his calligraphy!”

“Zhang Ye’s words are worth ten thousand taels each!”

“Yeah, there are only two words if it’s his autograph!”

“With a calligraphy piece from him, we’d be rich!”

“Hahahaha, good suggestion!”

Cao Dan was also amused to see that. She looked to the side and said, “Bro, you asked for it, so you better handle this yourself.”

Zhang Ye said, “Huh?”

A peaceful livestreaming session ended on an extremely high note.

This was Zhang Ye’s first appearance since taking the number one position of the entertainment circle. From it, a lot of assumptions could be made. This momentum, this influence, this appeal, Guan Zhaohua didn’t have it, nor did Ai Fei. In the entire entertainment industry, only Zhang Ye wielded all of that!

…

Half an hour later.

Downstairs, everyone had already started eating.

Finally, Zhang Ye and Cao Dan joined them.

His mother complained, “What were you two doing? What took you so long?”

His first aunt asked her daughter, “You were streaming for so long?”

Cao Dan said helplessly, “It was all Brother’s fault. He insisted on showing his face on stream, and everyone now knows that he’s my brother. In the end, so many people joined the stream to watch.”

“Isn’t that good?” His grandma said, “Let’s see who dares to bully you in the future.”

Cao Dan giggled. “No one bullied me before this anyway.”

His third sister suddenly waved her cell phone around and said, “Damn! The news has already reported about it!”

His second sister said, “Sis, you’re in the headlines!”

Cao Dan was taken aback. “Ah, so fast?”

His first aunt said smilingly, “That’s of course. Don’t you know how popular your brother is now? He has just taken over at the top spot, so anything that is related to him right now will end up in the headlines for sure.”

…

The media these days caught wind of everything too quickly.

“Zhang Ye appears in a live stream!”

“Zhang Ye actually turns out to be Cao Dan’s cousin?”

“A great exposé! The most popular Internet celebrity is actually Zhang Ye’s cousin!”

“Zhang Ye makes a special appearance for Cao Dan!”

“The impressive family circumstances the most popular Internet celebrity hails from!”

Soon after, this news was broadcast on television as well!

…

On Weibo.

The netizens were having a great laugh!

“I really didn’t expect this!”

“I wouldn’t have believed that these two were actually cousins even if my life was threatened!”

“Dandan is so cute. How could she be Zhang Ye’s sister?”

“I only know now that when we used to curse at Zhang Ye with ‘your sister,’ we were actually scolding Cao Dan!”

“Hahahaha!”

“My sympathies for Dandan!”

“In the future, let’s not scold Zhang Ye with ‘your sister’!”
