As the audience speculated and exchanged their thoughts in the comments, Han Haocheng, who had just snapped back to reality, was rendered speechless by the absurd assumptions.
'These guys are simply making a big fuss over nothing,' he thought.
Earlier, Han Haocheng was momentarily in a daze and smiled foolishly. Of course, it wasn't due to any mental problems; it was only because he just made 100,000 yuan.
Naturally, this profit was Han Haocheng's personal secret and he couldn't tell it to the viewers.
So, Han Haocheng quipped:
"Brothers, you've truly caught me off guard. I barely escaped a life-threatening situation in order to entertain you all. Can't I even smile happily afterwards?"
"Just because I smiled a little, you all thought there's something wrong with my mental state?"
"Alright then, you guys successfully angered me. I'm going off air!"
The moment the words fell out of his mouth, Han Haocheng didn't waste a second and immediately clicked to end the stream.
The screen displaying the live broadcast instantly turned black, shocking the numerous viewers lying in the live broadcast room who witnessed this.
The live stream had gone dark, yet tens of thousands of individuals remained engrossed and unwilling to disconnect.
For a time, the barrage of bullet comments continued to pop up:
"Hello, what's up with this host? He'll go off the air when he says so, has he always been so wilful?"
"Geez, there are 50,000 people online, and he can still be so whimsical. How bold is this streamer?"
"Oh my God, could the streamer actually be upset? With so many people tuned in, he's not asking for gifts or promoting/selling any products, and he just ends it like this?"
"This host is so unique, I like it. Followed, shared, liked and even commented thrice!"
"He's really impressive and so real! He starts pranks as soon as the stream begins, and when he's done trolling, he ends it straightaway. Streamers like him are extremely rare in the world."
"When I watch other people's live broadcasts and see the viewer count rising, I become afraid that the streamer will abruptly start hard-selling a product. Only in this live-stream, the moment I notice the increasing popularity, I start worrying that the broadcaster will suddenly end the stream!"
"That's too wilful. What is this streamer trying to achieve? Is his aim simply entertaining everyone?"
"..."
Although this was the Internet age where many individuals from diverse backgrounds aspired to enter the world of live streaming, all live-streams were run with only one common objective in mind:
To monetize, monetize, and monetize.
For streamers like Han Haocheng, when the number of viewers reaches 50,000 to 60,000, it became the ideal moment to start promoting products.
This was even more so considering the timing, where a prank had just been completed to perfection. Not only the viewers were satisfied, they were in high spirits as well.
Therefore, some viewers had already prepared themselves for Han Haocheng suddenly taking out a product and energetically promoting it with a tone as if he'd taken a dose of chicken blood.
However, after a long wait, Han Haocheng made no such move.
On the contrary, when the popularity was at its peak, all of a sudden, he decided to go off air.
This operation instantly left the audience bamboozled.
"My word! This is such a conscientious streamer. Followed!"
Everyone stared blankly at the screen for a long while, not knowing how to express their current emotions.
Thereafter, they all started following Han Haocheng. Instantly, his fans increased by several tens of thousands. The pace of this surge in followers gave the illusion as if it were artificially accelerated.
Hence, some people even wondered whether Han Haocheng had signed some sort of an agreement.
It goes without saying that during his live streams, Han Haocheng didn't use any tactics to artificially inflate his viewership or popularity.
After all, his live broadcasts had socially self-destroying content, and if he had the choice, he would prefer not to have so many people watching.
Nevertheless, Han Haocheng's life had truly taken an extraordinary turn.
At this moment, he didn't delay any further and opened the system's skill menu to make his selection.
[Congratulations, Host! You've acquired the professional-level guitar playing and singing skill!]
As the voice in his mind trailed off, Han Haocheng felt a rush of knowledge about guitar and singing skills filling his brain.
Not only that, in a flash, even his fingers and every cell in his body seemed to have evolved into a guitar virtuoso.
In one breath, Han Hao felt that he had become a master guitarist.
Moreover, his singing skills had also suddenly grown significantly.
Han Haocheng had practised playing the guitar in the past, but it was merely to have fun each time. He was not even at the level of an amateur guitarist.
For an ordinary person, it was impossible to play the guitar well without several years of practise.
Yet now, with a single abrupt transformation brought by the system reward, Han Haocheng had become an excellent professional level guitarist.
Not to forget, his singing skills had also been elevated significantly.
This pleased him a lot, as he was someone who enjoyed singing whenever he had the chance.
As the saying goes, having more talents does not overwhelm a person.
Now, as long as Han Haocheng wanted to, he could effortlessly strum his guitar and sing at a moment's notice, transforming the mundane streets into stages where he was the star attraction.
It must be said, this feeling of easily acquiring a super skill is really cool!
After standing in the same spot and singing a few lines, he confirmed that his vocal abilities had risen by more than a dozen grades from before.
Han Haocheng continued to browse the system's interface and checked his inventory.
He found the lone 'Physical Fitness Enhancing Pill' and took it out directly.
Han Haocheng was brimming with curiosity as he inspected the blue pill in his hand.
'Can this pill really enhance my physical fitness? If so, to what extent would the improvement be?'
Exactly when he was about to eat it, all of a sudden, a notification appeared in front of him:
[Please consume this pill before going to bed; otherwise, you'll experience a strong urge to sleep!! ]
"All right, I'll wait until I'm back."
Putting aside his curiosity about the blue pill, Han Haocheng resumed walking.
He, with 300,000 yuan in his bank balance, now walked with a straight back and a swagger in his steps.
He was not in any hurry to go back right away, as such he strolled around for a bit.
In a guitar store, he bought a guitar with excellent sound quality before deciding to head back.
"Vroom vRoom!!"
Suddenly, the roaring sound of customised motorbikes filled the air.
In the blink of an eye, six motorcycles raced toward Han Haocheng and surrounded him.
"What a coincidence, buddy! We've run into you again!"
The bare-chested young man with tattoos was the first to speak. Because he was so livid, when he uttered those words, he grinned, baring his teeth like a starving wolf about to devour its prey.
These people were none other than the gang of high-spirited motorbike enthusiasts who's leader Han Haocheng trolled previously.
Han Haocheng was stunned speechless, unexpectedly he met these guys here.
In the current situation, it seemed that the possibility of running away wasn't very high.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded inside in his mind:
[The follow-up task initiated: Start a live stream, pretend to make amends in front of the tattooed shirtless youth, and sing a song as a token of peace. However, immediately after finishing the song, declare that the song is dedicated to his girlfriend and confess your feelings to her!]
[Task reward: mysterious gift package]
[Reminder: You can refuse the successive part of the mission. If you decline, there will be no punishment. The host please make a choice within ten seconds...]
Seeing this sequel task, Han Haocheng froze on the spot.
Oh my God, there is a follow-up mission, after the daily task?
And this return mission is a tad exciting, right?
Should he go for it or not?
