Chapter 22 Secures the 2000 Million Advance
Gu Yi glanced at his phone screen and continued interacting with netizens.
At that moment, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Q-Spicy Dance and Lemon King rushed in one after the other, shouting.
"Gu Yi is awesome!"
"Hurry up and teach me how to do the triangle kill!"
The other teammates also looked up.
"It's very simple!"
"It's like this first, then like this, and finally like this..."
Gu Yi was operating the keyboard.
IG and the others were completely dumbfounded!
"Hold!!!"
The viewers in the live stream laughed.
"Hahaha!"
"This is hilarious!!!"
"Do you think they're fools?"
"Some streamers have already successfully tested it!"
"I saw it, and they said anyone with hands can do it!"
"............."
Just then, a striking golden paid comment appeared on the official Douyu platform.
"Gu Yi, will you continue live streaming?"
These platforms have already seen his talent for live streaming and are thinking that if he continues to stream, they can sign him for a high price.
And the viewers in the live stream
I just saw him doing wrist care exercises.
Gu Yi smiled and rubbed his wrist again.
He's a pro at playing the victim!
Many female fans felt sorry for him upon seeing this.
He explained with a smile.
"The doctor said I need to rest for six months. So I'll be taking a long vacation from now on, and I probably won't be playing games as often."
His words instantly sombered the atmosphere in the live stream, and more and more sad comments began to appear.
Then another paid comment popped up.
Will you leave IG?
You can't use your hands, but you can use your mouth!
"We will not sign with any other teams this year."
Gu Yi didn't make any absolute statements, leaving room for maneuver.
The absence of more than half a year was enough to disconnect him from the competition, and netizens all knew what this meant.
Besides, he'll be 22 next year, an age when esports players can retire. If it weren't for his heroic performance in the S-series, he probably would have ended up as a streamer.
The fans who were reluctant to part with it flooded the screen with comments.
"Take good care of your injury!"
"We're waiting for you to come back!"
"You're not old either, the factory manager is still around."
The factory manager, who was watching from the sidelines, almost lost his composure.
Gu Yi smiled, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Just then, a paid comment broke the silence.
"Since you sing so well, why don't you become a singer?"
Gu Yi saw this comment and smiled, trying to look cool.
"Haha, friends who watch my live stream tonight should take a screenshot. Maybe I'll be a famous singer next time, and then your screenshot will be awesome."
"Eek~"
IG and others were pouring oil on the side.
Some fans obediently took screenshots.
Then more comments popped up.
Have you written any songs yourself?
Gu Yi's eyes lit up.
This was an excellent opportunity for publicity, so he immediately agreed.
"I wrote a song called 'Underwater,' which will be released on major music platforms at midnight tonight. Please keep an eye out for it."
"Sing a verse!"
"Exactly, it's already written!"
"If you don't sing, we won't pay attention anymore."
"Do you even know what 'the customer is king' means?"
A group of people sent comments urging them to hurry up, and then the gifts sparked another small climax.
"Thank you so much for the donations, everyone! I'm coming right now!!!"
Gu Yi started singing when he saw that someone was giving him a tip.
His voice was clear and ethereal, flowing gently through the live stream.
Scattered moonlight pierced through the clouds.
"Hiding from the crowd, spreading out like scales on the sea~"
......
"You love the salty smell of the sea breeze, the feeling of walking on damp sand, and you say people's ashes should be scattered into the sea~"
......
"Always putting on a smiling face for the indifferent, the people on the shore all wear indifference on their faces, there's no attachment to this world, everything has vanished like smoke."
A few short lines of a cappella singing,
The live stream room instantly fell silent.
This was immediately followed by a deluge of comments.
"Holy crap, that's a really good song!"
"But why does it sound so depressing?"
"I feel like I'm heading towards despair step by step!"
"Gu Yi, don't do anything rash!"
"Hearing this makes my nose sting. You must take good care of yourself!"
"Don't do anything foolish, we're still waiting to hear more of your songs!"
"Ready to listen to on repeat!"
Gu Yi looked at the screens and explained with a smile.
"Don't worry, everyone. This song was written when I was in the early stages of my hand injury. At that time, I thought I might never be able to compete again."
I felt really lost back then, but things are different now. Even if I can't compete in the future, I can still be a singer.
He paused, his tone filled with expectation.
"And in six months, I might go on to further my studies. In any case, we'll meet again someday."
The live stream is about to end.
"It's almost time, so that's all for today's live stream. Thank you everyone for joining me tonight."
Gu Yi looked at the screen and began to say goodbye.
"We're waiting for you to come back!"
"Looking forward to the new song's release!"
Farewell messages kept scrolling in the live chat.
Gu Yi bowed deeply to the camera, then raised his hand and clicked the button to close the live stream.
A short while later, he, along with Jie Q Spicy Dance, Ning Wang, and others, headed to the private room for a late-night snack that had been reserved in advance.
In the car, he replied to Tian Xiwei's WeChat message.
"It's nothing serious with your hand, it'll be fine after a while."
Soon, Tian Xiwei replied to the message.
"How about we meet tomorrow?"
Gu Yi looked at the screen, hesitated for a moment, and then replied.
"I'm having late-night snacks with my teammates tonight. I might not be able to get up tomorrow, so let's make plans another time."
"Alright!"
On the other side, Tian Xiwei looked at her phone screen, puffed out her cheeks in anger, and muttered to herself.
"No wonder you're still single, you won't eat even when I feed you!"
But then I thought about it again and couldn't help but laugh.
"But that's fine too. If even I can't get them to come out, then no one else will have a chance."
Not long after, in a late-night snack room near the IG base.
After Gu Yi finished eating, he signed the pre-payment contract for the championship skin with Su XL, and his phone rang shortly afterward.
It was Principal Wang calling.
"Gu Yi, I've already arranged the 2000 million advance payment for the championship skin with the finance department. It will be transferred to your account tomorrow."
He smiled enticingly.
"Thank you, Principal!"
Gu Yi laughed happily.
With this 2000 million,
He can then invest in other things.
"By the way, are you interested in signing with Panda TV? Earning millions a month is no problem."
"I'm sorry, but I have to take the provincial exam in December, followed by the college entrance exam and the national college entrance exam. I also won't be signing with any other live streaming platform, so don't worry." Gu Yi shook his head and refused.
"Alright, then I won't force you."
Once Principal Wang received his promise not to use other platforms, he stopped arguing.
"By the way, the operations team has tallied up the donations in your live stream tonight. It's over 600 million, and after taking a cut, it's over 300 million."
Gu Yi paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Principal, please have the finance department donate this money in the names of everyone in tonight's live stream."
He knew in his heart that once he transitioned into an artist, these past events would definitely be brought up again.
