EBE Chapter 56: The preliminary group selection officially begins!
Chapter 56: The preliminary group selection officially begins!
After the meeting, it was noon.
All departments responsible for the competition are preparing for this broadcasting competition.
Lin Lang finalized the competition details, Shen Qi contacted the various streamers to ensure they arrived on time, and Chen Nan conducted the final live broadcast test.
This is the first online tournament for "Three Kingdoms Kill", and it's also a powerful tool to regain the popularity of live streaming!
In the office, Lin Lang was having a work-related conversation with Shen Qi.
"President Lin, the latest version of the general expansion pack is ready. This time, we chose Cao Cao as the UR card and Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao as the SSR cards."
Hearing this, Lin Lang raised an eyebrow: "You've heard the story of the Prime Minister?"
"What?" Shen Qi asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Cough cough... It's nothing, it's nothing!" Lin Lang waved his hand. "Let's stick with these general expansion packs for now. Also, in the next version update, remove the first generation of general expansion packs."
This is done to create a sense of scarcity, thereby driving collecting and consumption.
"Yes, Mr. Lin. Is there any other instruction?" Shen Qi understood this principle, which was to ensure that each general expansion pack had its own collectible value.
"That's all, have you contacted all the streamers?"
Lin Lang suddenly remembered something. This point was also very important. In some of these live streamer competitions, the competition could not continue because some streamers were late, which had a significant impact.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin! I've already contacted them all, and the invitation contract also stipulates this, so I'm confident they won't be late!"
"Okay, that's all for now, let's go back!"
Just as Shen Qi was about to leave, Bai Xiaotong knocked on the door and came in.
"President Lin, President Shen, the host Su Keke is waiting in the live broadcast room after she finished her makeup."
But she seemed to only have eyes for Lin Lang, only giving Shen Qi a glance in return.
Shen Qi, who was about to leave, stopped when she saw this. She turned around, picked up Lin Lang's cup, and went to the coffee machine to make herself a cup of coffee.
For some reason, she suddenly didn't want to leave.
"Okay, take me to see her."
This streamer was hired by Lin Lang at a high price to be a guest commentator, after all, he has a lot of popularity.
"Is President Lin going to do a live stream with us tonight?" Bai Xiaotong asked in a soft, sweet voice.
"Yeah! Why are you on camera today too?" Lin Lang asked back.
"Yes! I'm in charge of displaying the rewards today. I had experience with this last time!" Bai Xiaotong glanced at Shen Qi, who had her back to the two of them, and then went up to her and pulled Lin Lang's arm to walk outside.
Lin Lang thought about it and realized it made sense; it was essentially like a saleswoman standing next to someone selling goods during a live stream.
Moreover, Bai Xiaotong was very popular during the last live broadcast, so she might get even more attention this time!
After the two left, Shen Qi turned around, looked at their departing figures, and pursed her lips.
.....
"Hello, Ms. Su Keke."
Led by Bai Xiaotong, Lin Lang arrived at the live broadcast room on the first floor.
This is a live broadcast scene specially set up for this competition. Push open the door, and you'll find it filled with elements from the Three Kingdoms period.
Images of things like peach trees, feather fans and turbans, Red Hare, and various military generals were printed on the side.
At this moment, Su Keke had already changed into her Diao Chan cosplay outfit and stood up to welcome the two of them.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, it's great to finally meet you." Su Keke stepped forward and shook hands with Lin Lang.
The moment Lin Lang saw her, he understood why she was so popular.
She was dressed in a flowing red gauze Hanfu, with layers of skirt like clouds and mist, and a light gold ribbon tied around her waist, showing off her slender waist.
It looks like you could hold it in one hand.
Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders, adorned with a gold hairpin and a gold forehead ornament, which accentuated her delicate features.
Her features were gentle and graceful, her peach blossom eyes were slightly lowered, her eyelashes were long and curled, and her skin was white and translucent, like the finest mutton fat jade.
She looks just like Diao Chan from the game "Dancing with the Hearts of the Masses," and more importantly, she has those treasures on her chest!
Top-tier looks!
Coupled with his decent gaming talent, it's no wonder he has so many fans.
Bai Xiaotong, who was standing next to her, didn't expect her to look so beautiful after makeup. Diao Chan's charm was perfectly embodied in her.
She's definitely a mature and sophisticated woman!
Bai Xiaotong glanced at her outfit and was quite satisfied, but it was just not quite right for Su Keke.
No! I need to make some changes, otherwise I'll be overshadowed by her!
"Mr. Lin, you two talk first, I'll go change my clothes."
After saying that, Bai Xiaotong ran away in a hurry.
Ignoring her, Lin Lang started talking to Su Keke.
"I'll leave the commentary to you for this match. Do you understand all the rules?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin~" Su Keke smiled gently, her eyelashes trembling slightly. "I'm a long-time user of 'Three Kingdoms Kill'~"
"I never expected to be invited by you one day. It's my honor. I've been practicing these past few days, and I'm sure my commentary won't disappoint you."
A charming and magnetic voice entered Lin Lang's ears, and he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This voice would be perfect for a voice actor!
Lin Lang hadn't watched her live streams, but he felt that if she did ASMR live streams, she would definitely gain even more popularity.
The two hadn't been chatting for long when Bai Xiaotong and Shen Qi walked in together.
"Sister Shen Qi~ I'll be fine with this live stream, so there's no need to trouble you!" Bai Xiaotong pouted and said sarcastically.
When she went to the dressing room, she saw Shen Qi changing clothes there. She asked her and found out that Shen Qi was also coming to do a live broadcast!
"Xiaotong, I'm doing this for the company's sake. If anything goes wrong, I can be there to fix it in time," Shen Qi said calmly.
Actually, besides that reason, another reason is that she also saw Su Keke, whose Diao Chan cosplay was indeed very accurate.
And Bai Xiaotong was also there!
No, I can't let myself be outdone!
So, she went to the dressing room and changed into a cosplay outfit.
The two walked in from the doorway, and the first person they saw was Shen Qi.
She was wearing the latest Da Qiao cosplay outfit this time.
The gold headband on her head, combined with her delicate and petite face, made her short hair look even neater and cleaner.
The white and green cheongsam extended all the way to her thighs, with a single button fastened at the collar. The chest area featured a cutout design, revealing a small section of her fair collarbone.
A ribbon tied in a bow around her waist made her waist look even slimmer.
The hem of the cheongsam was embroidered with a lotus flower, and its length was just right to the mid-thigh. It swayed gently with each step, revealing a section of fair and firm thigh.
And Bai Xiaotong next to her.
She was wearing the latest Xiao Qiao cosplay outfit, also a white and green short skirt, the fabric of which was light and flowing, like it was woven from clouds and mist.
The dress is designed like Da Qiao's, with an off-shoulder style, a cutout design at the chest, and a silver lotus pattern engraved at the neckline.
Below that was a form-fitting bra design that outlined her slender upper body with delicate contours, though not quite like Shen Qi and Su Keke.
But the petite curves added a touch of youthful liveliness and innocence.
The skirt wasn't long, it was supported like a cloud, and she wore white mid-calf socks and white high heels. The tops of the socks were just above her calves, leaving a faint mark.
She exudes girlish sweetness and playfulness.
"I never imagined that General Manager Lin's company had such beautiful twins. If I'm not mistaken, these must be Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!"
Su Keke covered her face and whispered, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
She herself loves cosplay and never expected to see two such beautiful girls at Langyu Studio.
twin?!
Lin Lang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. If these two were twins, their family would be arguing every day!
"Hello Ms. Su Keke, I am Shen Qi, the vice president of Langyu Studio. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Shen Qi and Su Keke shook hands amicably, and at the same time, she didn't forget to explain:
"Bai Xiaotong and I are just colleagues, not twins."
Bai Xiaotong, standing behind her, muttered under her breath, "Tch, who's her twin?!"
Su Keke didn't show any embarrassment on her face, but instead smiled gently, her eyes curving into crescents.
"Excuse me, this is the first time I've seen such beautiful cosplays of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, so I naturally started thinking in that direction."
"Thank you for the compliment. Miss Su's cosplay of Diao Chan is also spot on, with a beautiful face and a lovely appearance." Shen Qi smiled gently and praised her in return.
Bai Xiaotong, standing behind her, had her lips pouting up to the sky; who doesn't like being praised!
After exchanging compliments, the three finalized the next steps.
Lin Lang didn't change his clothes; his current suit was already handsome enough.
The live stream will start at 8 PM sharp!
Facing the camera, Su Keke began to show her professional side, remaining calm and composed in front of the lens, just like during her usual live streams.
"Hello everyone! Welcome to the preliminary stage of the 'Three Kingdoms Kill' streamer competition. I'm your special guest today, Su Keke!"
"And these three next to me are Lin Lang, the owner of Langyu Studio, and Shen Qi and Bai Xiaotong!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Lang, it's nice to see you all again."
"Hello everyone, I'm Shen Qi."
Lin Lang and Shen Qi's performances were also very natural.
But looking at Bai Xiaotong...
"Hello everyone! Do you remember me? I'm Bai Xiaotong, and I'm cosplaying Xiao Qiao again today! It's great to see you all again!"
Bai Xiaotong is lively, cheerful, and has a great sense of camera presence. Her performance is similar to Su Keke's; if you didn't know better, you might think she was also a live streamer.
Although it's only just started airing, everyone knows that today is the day of the "Three Kingdoms Kill" streamer competition.
The live stream's popularity surged to over 10 viewers in just 3 minutes!
[Wow! Diao Chan! Da Qiao! Xiao Qiao! What kind of amazing live stream is this?!]
[I didn't expect Su Keke to look so good in her Diao Chan cosplay outfit! She should wear this outfit for her livestreams from now on!]
[I've got material for my dreams tonight!]
[On the nth day, I envy Lin Lang. Now Su Keke has joined in too. Can I replace President Lin for even a day?]
[Hahaha, you should surpass President Lin in looks first!]
The chat was flooded with comments, and the number of viewers was slowly increasing!
"We've just started the live stream, so don't forget to like it! There are lots of lucky bags coming your way! Remember to grab them!" Su Keke started to lighten the mood as usual.
She knew what the audience liked to see, so she deliberately crossed her legs to show it.
[I can't take it anymore! My sister is killing me!]
[Screenshot saved!]
I still prefer Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao; white stockings are the way to go!
After a 20-minute warm-up, Su Keke announced the rules of the competition and the participants.
"...Therefore, this competition is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals, exhibition matches, and the grand final! It will last for a total of 8 days!"
"Each match uses a points system! A win for the lord and loyal subjects earns 3 points, a win for the rebels earns 3 points, and a win for the traitor earns 5 points! After each round, the ranking order is determined by the points!"
"Our participants this time include: Zita! Ran Xiaona! Qiezi! Lao Ma... and the top three winners of 'Three Kingdoms Kill'!"
After these explanations, everyone understood the rules and the participants, and they all expressed their support for their favorite contestants in the live chat.
[Child! Go for it! Win the championship!]
Ran Xiaona wins the championship! She's brought glory to her fans!
[Jiu Shen! You represent Hero Kill and take them down! Crush their arrogance!]
[Heh... You're all trash in front of a true champion! Zhang Bucai, go for it! Win the championship again!]
[Let's form groups quickly, I can't wait!]
【…】
Seeing how enthusiastic her fans were, Su Keke didn't hesitate.
"Now, let's move on to the exciting group assignments!"
