Evolutionary Superstar

Meanwhile, Jiang Ruolan’s fans exploded with outrage in her livestream channel.

[Ah, why did my goddess blush? Does she really like that toad? Who does he think he is?]

[Hahaha, Goddess Jiang got teased and blushed on camera. You have to give that guy some credit; he has guts. Does he know the definition of "courting death?"]

[Dammit! How dare that new face flirt with Sister Jiang! He is asking for death! Brothers and sisters, I’m leading the battle to that Dog’s channel! Who’s coming with me?]

Although Lin Haoren said he was afraid of the heat, he still attracted Jiang Ruolan’s toxic fans.

Even a simple smile at Jiang Ruolan was considered unacceptable, let alone blatant teasing that could also be interpreted as flirting.

As such, Lin Haoren ended up getting bombarded with insults by angry fans in his livestream channel.

...

Meanwhile, after Director Chen left the guests, he joined the Broadcast Operations team to check the situation of each feed.

There were 15 Camera Operators in their Production Team. Besides the main production feed, each guest had one dedicated feed.

"How’s the viewer count of our guests?" Director Chen inquired.

The Live Broadcast Operations Manager immediately provided the number of live viewers for each feed.

=====

No.1 Jiang Ruolan’s Feed — 3.85M

No.2 Main Production’s Feed — 1.72M

No.3 Guo Zhenyu’s Feed — 865K

No.4 Lu Chengxi’s Feed — 498K

No.5 He Yuxin’s Feed — 441K

No.6 Oreo’s Feed — 439K

No.7 Fang Ning’s Feed — 380K

No.8 Qin Mo’s Feed — 337K

No.9 Wei Xinya’s Feed — 269K

No.10 Xu Kaichen’s Feed — 214K

No.11 Lin Haoren’s Feed — 213K

=====

In total, the show had roughly 9-million live viewers.

Director Chen immediately saw Jiang Ruolan’s name at the top of the list and nodded.

Without Jiang Ruolan’s big name, the show might have already been discontinued after its first season run. The show’s success couldn’t be separated from her.

What Director Chen did expect was that Oreo was already ranked 6th in live viewers among the 11 feeds.

The viral cat was certainly special.

This was only the start of the first day of their recording, yet Oreo’s ranking was already so high. He couldn’t help but look forward to the episode 4 wrap-up results.

Once news of Oreo’s participation spread, his live viewers would only climb over time.

On the other hand, Lin Haoren was last on the list, which Director Chen wasn’t too surprised by.

After all, most of Lin Haoren’s viral fame went to Oreo.

Even so, Director Chen was a little surprised to see that Lin Haoren’s live viewer count had almost overtaken Xu Kaichen’s.

"When did Xiao Ren’s live viewer count get so close to Xiao Chen’s?" Director Chen asked.

The Live Broadcast Operations Manager glanced at the data before stating, "Lin Haoren’s live viewer count spiked around the team-naming period."

Director Chen smiled.

He didn’t look down on Lin Haoren’s low live viewer count. On the contrary, he trusted Lin Haoren’s potential and talent.

Director Chen believed Lin Haoren would continue to surprise him.

"Director! There’s a problem! Jiang Ruolan’s live viewer count suddenly started dropping rapidly!"

"What?!"

Director Chen was shocked after hearing the Live Broadcast Operations Manager’s sudden information.

"What’s going on? What happened to Ruolan’s feed? Why are her viewers leaving?"

"I’m not sure..."

The Live Broadcast Operations Manager was also at a loss after hearing Director Chen’s anxious question.

He couldn’t find the problem on such short notice.

They could only watch as Jiang Ruolan’s feed steadily dropped from 3.85M live viewers to about 3.01M live viewers.

Almost 1M live viewers had suddenly left.

"This..."

While searching for the problem, the Live Broadcast Operations Manager suddenly made a startling discovery.

"Director, take a look at Lin Haoren’s feed."

"How did this happen?"

Director Chen was dumbfounded after seeing Lin Haoren’s latest live viewer count.

=====

No.1 Jiang Ruolan’s Feed — 2.98M

No.2 Main Production’s Feed — 1.66M

No.3 Lin Haoren’s Feed — 1.13M

...

=====

Director Chen couldn’t believe his eyes.

Lin Haoren’s feed had suddenly surged in popularity—it was practically skyrocketing. It seemed unreal, as if someone was manipulating the numbers.

After all, it was just too incredible for the last ranker to suddenly parachute into the third ranking.

Upon further investigation, Director Chen found the root of the problem. Jiang Ruolan’s fans went to Lin Haoren’s livestreaming channel to flame him.

The comment section was practically dripping with blood from the barrage of insults.

[Lin Haoren, I suggest sleeping with one eye open tonight!]

[Hilarious! Lin Haoren, your guts are seriously enormous! You dare to provoke Sister Jiang? Are you tired of living?]

[Who gave this clown permission to tease Sister Jiang?]

[He has the courage of a tiger and the brain of a hamster. His survival instincts are clearly still under development.]

[Hehehe, he wasn’t teasing Sister Jiang. He was auditioning for his funeral.]

[He really looked at millions of Sister Jiang’s fans and thought, "These are the people I should annoy," huh!]

[Pftt! Sister Jiang hasn’t even said anything, and the Jiang army has already drawn their swords.]

Due to the restriction of censorship, Jiang Ruolan’s fans seemed quite cultured in their insults, but, in fact, they had no choice.

Otherwise, the comment section would have been filled with unfiltered curses.

Just as Team Retirement Home settled on its simple rescue plan, Lin Haoren was summoned by Director Chen.

As such, he had no choice but to temporarily leave the team.

"You wanted to see me, Director Chen?" Lin Haoren asked.

Director Chen stared at him as if he was looking at him for the first time.

"Xiao Ren, you sure know how to poke the sleeping dragon with a toothpick. Do you know how viewers are watching your feed right now?"

"How many?"

"1.21M live viewers! You have the third-highest count of live viewers."

Lin Haoren’s eyes widened with surprise, knowing the show wouldn’t have more than ten million viewers during its live broadcasts.

As such, 1.21M live viewers for a new face was a substantial number.

"Ayo, I’m actually so popular?"

"If infamy equals popularity, then yes, you are definitely surging in popularity. Jiang Ruolan’s fans are flaming you like no tomorrow. Can’t you feel the heat? Do you want to take some time to interact with them and see if you can appease them?"
