Chen Xu pointed at the dartboard and asked one of the girls who seemed to be a store employee, "Does the store have darts?"
"Yes, I'll get them." The employee went to the counter and brought back a box of darts.
Chen Xu took it, thanked her, and then walked in front of the phone's camera.
"Damn."
Chen Xu glanced at the screen and was startled, "Is that really me?"
He'd heard that beauty filters on short video apps were quite powerful. This was his first time filming, and it was indeed exaggerated.
His eyes were bigger, his face smaller, and his skin turned whiter and smoother—totally unlike himself.
"No wonder every woman looks pretty on short videos, so this is how it works."
He marveled in his heart.
This way, his previous worries were completely unnecessary. Even if someone he knew saw this short video, they definitely wouldn't recognize him.
After just a few glances, a flood of comments surged, filling the entire screen.
"Your fans are really enthusiastic."
Chen Xu was a bit surprised, not expecting Zixin to have so many followers.
To be honest, standing in front of the camera for the first time with so many viewers opposite him felt quite novel. He said, "Hello everyone, I'm Zixin's friend. Those videos of things being thrown were all thrown by me, 100% real."
Then he noticed a bunch of comments with the same content. Though the text was small, the fact that everyone posted the same content caught his attention.
Looking closely, it was, "Bouncy Brother finally appeared on camera."
Chen Xu's eye twitched. He asked Zixin beside him, "What the heck is Bouncy Brother?"
Zixin's gaze was a bit evasive as she explained, "Well, that's the nickname they gave you. The girl with the watermelon fan is called Watermelon Girl, the guy selling pomegranates is Pomegranate Guy, and the one playing with a bouncy ball is naturally called Bouncy Brother." The more she spoke, the weaker her confidence became.
Several girls nearby were already laughing uncontrollably.
What a ridiculous nickname.
Chen Xu silently cursed Zixin in his mind but kept his composure in front of the camera.
He decided to throw the bouncy ball in his pocket into the trash later.
Ignoring that annoying name, he took out a dart and got to the point, "I heard from Zixin that someone doubts the video's authenticity. Let me demonstrate throwing a dart for everyone."
"Let's go over there." Chen Xu had Zixin carry the phone and walked over to the dartboard.
He observed and stood about three meters away from the dartboard. He hadn't played darts before, and this distance was manageable and convenient for filming. Too far, and it wouldn't be clear.
Beside him, Zixin held up the phone, closely following him while filming.
"Later, whoever tells me which spot to hit, I'll throw there," Chen Xu said, then added, "Of course, there are too many people commenting. How about this: whoever sends a gift, I'll listen to them."
Then he saw the phone screen fill with words saying "tricking for gifts..." once again filling the screen.
His face twitched slightly; it was a bit exhausting. Streaming wasn't easy either.
Suddenly, he saw a comment, "If you hit the spot, sending gifts is no problem. But what if you miss?"
His mind stirred, and he said, "Of course, if I miss, I'll accept punishment. As for what punishment..."
"This can be done.""If you miss, eat a dart on stream.""Live eating you-know-what.""Lick a fan live."......
Before Chen Xu finished speaking, he saw comments suggesting various punishments, getting more outrageous as they went along, making his face darken.
This audience was really unbelievable, their standards too low.
"If I miss, I'll admit I'm a fraud." Chen Xu quickly said, to avoid more outrageous comments. He then saw many comments agreeing and finally sighed in relief.
"Before we officially start, I'll warm up a bit first."
After he spoke, Chen Xu grabbed a dart, aimed at the red bullseye in the center, and threw.
The dart hit the board but veered to the edge, landing right on the number "6."
He frowned slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the result.
This was his first time throwing a dart, and it felt completely different from throwing other things. He had to hold the dart between three fingers, a technique he hadn't used before.
Zixin kept filming him, capturing this moment as well. Instantly, a lot of comments floated by, all saying things like "Isn't this a fail?" and "666, welcome to the epic fail scene..."
The nearby girls looked at Chen Xu with strange expressions.
Even Zixin, who had the most confidence in Chen Xu, looked anxious. If this went wrong, her account would be ruined too. No wonder she was nervous.
Coincidentally, Chen Xu noticed Zixin's expression. His mind shifted, initially aiming at the red center, but this time he purposely aimed at the top number "20."
A dart flew out, hitting the number "20" dead center.
He purposely frowned, seeing Zixin's worried face, secretly amused.
Then, he tried a few more darts, getting more off-track, missing several times. Zixin's face grew worse, finally almost looking like she was about to cry, "Chen Xu, maybe stick to the bouncy ball."
Chen Xu felt a bit of guilt at first, but when she mentioned the bouncy ball again, his guilt vanished, and he intentionally said, "That's not good, we agreed to darts, we can't change at the last minute, can we? Besides, they won't agree, right?"
Zixin's face fell, pouting, "If you mess this up, you're not getting away with it."
Chen Xu exclaimed, "Even if I mess up, it'd be my embarrassment, right?"
Zixin looked frustrated, "This is my account, my account..."
At that moment, the comments in the live stream went wild, "Another gone crazy...""Poor host...""Shocking, beautiful streamer driven crazy by a man who likes to play with bouncy balls..."
"Alright, I'm going to perform now."
Feeling it was time, Chen Xu cleared his throat and announced.
"I'll be the first, aiming for sixty points." Soon, someone sent a gift.
Chen Xu paused, there were only numbers one to twenty; where was sixty? Going with the principle of asking when unsure, he asked, "Which spot is sixty points?"
Once again, the live stream was flooded with comments, turning it into a sea of joy.
Zixin's head spun, despairingly saying, "Don't tell me you've never played darts?"
It was still that girl in uniform who told him, "See the two circular rings on the board? The outer one is the double zone; the middle one is the triple zone. Overlapping with the twenty-point area, that's sixty points."
With that explanation, Chen Xu understood.
P.S. Thanks to the few readers for the tips.
