I’ve Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show

Chapter 72: Chapter 69 just saved thirty or forty years of detours! Chapter 72: Chapter 69 just saved thirty or forty years of detours! Chen Xixi was slightly startled. Was she supposed to start punishing the netizens right away?
She didn’t care about others’ opinions; her only concern was that after watching her live stream, there might be no audience left.
But that didn’t matter. She was here to win the five million prize money, not to captivate an audience with her talent.
Some tracks simply weren’t meant for her, no need to force herself.
Thus, under the gazes full of anticipation from everyone, Chen Xixi began without any reservations.
How to dance? She didn’t know, but twisting her waist and waving her hands was definitely the right move.
The staff even thoughtfully prepared a set of music with a very rhythmic beat for her.
Chen Xixi had no formal dance training. Her main style was to go with the flow, letting her stiff body freely express itself.
Everything went smoothly – a rigid type of smoothly.
Smooth enough for the netizens to instantly realize she couldn’t cut it as a singing and dancing idol.
[My heart is frozen, really frozen, I feel like my heart will stop beating…]
[I’ve already recorded the video, I’m preparing to repeatedly send it to my frenemy to torment her.]
[Having seen the beauty’s dance, I really don’t feel like eating dinner anymore.]
[I don’t care who you are, I hope you get off Chen Xixi immediately! Don’t force me to call the police!]
[Maybe customs differ, but where I come from, we don’t need to perform rituals before speaking…]
The other four guests initially thought they would witness a dance that united performer and dance, stunning the entire network, and memorable for a lifetime. But they could never have imagined, Chen Xixi brutally slapped their expectations with reality!
What an extraordinary visual experience indeed!
The other four guests: “!!!” Chen Xixi, what are you doing with your beautiful face and perfect body?!
Seeing Chen Xixi’s dance, Han Qianyi couldn’t help but sneer internally, what a letdown, giving Chen Xixi a chance and she still fails to deliver.
She was even worried earlier that Chen Xixi might captivate the netizens with her breathtaking dance today and continue to hold the throne as the popularity queen of the show.
As it turned out, her worries were completely unnecessary.
With that kind of dance from Chen Xixi, even dogs would shake their heads.
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but laugh a bit and shake her head helplessly.
There’s no need for her to personally take action; Chen Xixi’s fans would definitely plummet tonight.
Not everyone can be considered a competitor, like Chen Xixi’s dance, she doesn’t need to take it seriously – it posed no threat to her at all.
Maybe… later she could pretend to be kind and teach Chen Xixi some dance moves in front of the live stream audience, show off her own skills a bit, and let Chen Xixi underscore her excellence – her popularity tonight would surely surpass Chen Xixi’s!
Just as everyone was shocked by Chen Xixi’s dance, something unexpected happened.
Contrary to Chen Xixi’s expectations, that her cringeworthy dance would cause the live room’s popularity to plummet, the opposite happened. Because of the dance she performed, the live room’s popularity suddenly skyrocketed to the top position among entertainment hosts on the streaming platform!
A well-danced performance can be surprising. But a poorly executed dance that still goes on, can be even more surprising to the audience.
Especially with such a high-value face performing some unimaginable actions, it compelled the netizens to come and check whether this live room was hunting demons or praying for rain.
[Newbie here, just asking, has Jiang City not seen rain in a long time? This High Priest looks rather good.]
[I thought I was the only Li Kui who gets periods; it turns out Chen Xixi is too, giving me a feeling of abruptly finding an organization shedding tears…]
[Others’ excellence chills me to the bone, Chen Xixi’s dance moves warm my heart, I declare, Chen Xixi is now my digital BFF!]
[Although her dancing is really not that great, why do I feel like I’ve been mesmerized, unable to leave this live room? This dance is simply too enchanting!]
“[Chen Xixi, from now on just stick to relying on your looks, I have someone else in mind for dance performances: )]”
Chen Xixi’s extremely down-to-earth dance moves instantly resonated with some netizens who also lack dancing talent, and piqued the curiosity of others, her popularity surged, gaining a huge wave of new fans!
Qian Yue didn’t expect that netizens nowadays would actually enjoy watching this, Chen Xixi’s zombie-like performance could still attract fans!
It’s really baffling!
Shocked by the tremendous impact, Qian Yue stared at his phone screen, dumbfounded as her popularity kept rising.
After Chen Xixi’s performance ritual ended, Qian Yue finally spoke in shock, “Do you know how much your popularity in the live broadcast room has increased due to that dance just now?”
Chen Xixi looked puzzled.
Increased?
Qian Yue must be joking, right?
With her terrible dancing, how could anyone want to watch?
And an increase in popularity? It’s good enough if it didn’t plunge into the negatives.
If Chen Xixi speaks now, she would have to dance again later when answering the netizens’ questions, which would be too draining, as she still needs to conserve energy to snatch Gold Coins from Zheng He.
So Chen Xixi raised her hand to tuck the strands of hair that had fallen during the dance behind her ear and slowly shook her head.
Unable to refrain himself, Qian Yue shared the good news with Chen Xixi, “In just those few short seconds, the popularity of your live room surged by nearly one million!”
All the Guest participants were astonished: What’s happening to modern aesthetics? Are they desperate?!
Standing proudly on the side, Han Qianyi’s expression changed drastically after hearing Qian Yue’s words.
Chen Xixi’s fans not only didn’t all drop but instead rocketed up?!
How is that possible!
She pondered for a moment, even suspecting that some big shot must be throwing money to generate fake traffic for Chen Xixi, causing her data to suddenly spike.
But then she thought again, if Chen Xixi had such strong backing, would she still come to this amateur show to compete with other amateurs?
Chen Xixi should already have better resources.
After some thought, Han Qianyi came to a conclusion.
That is, Chen Xixi is too scheming!
Chen Xixi could have danced well, but she pretended not to, just to grab the audience’s attention by taking an unconventional approach and courting popularity, that’s why her popularity exploded.
It seems she needs to work harder to surpass Chen Xixi’s popularity.
Chen Xixi indeed is a formidable opponent, she shouldn’t underestimate her anymore!
Chen Xixi wasn’t quite sure what nearly a million in popularity actually meant in a live variety show context, but she could tell from Qian Yue’s expression that it was significant.
If it weren’t for her self-awareness, she would have almost suspected herself of being a dancing prodigy.
Otherwise, why would so many people idle around to watch her perform physical rehabilitation?
She’s been on the show for quite some time, initially just for the five million prize money, but now, her popularity has also consistently held the top spot, something completely unexpected.
However, she heard that becoming an artist could earn multiple five millions, an amount ordinary people could never dream of in their lifetime. If she could keep this up and eventually sign with Nanxing Entertainment to become an artist, that seemed like a brilliant thing too.
After Qian Yue recovered from his shock, he returned to the main topic, “Alright, back to the main point, now please answer the question. Many people say your way of saving money resembles that of a sixty-year-old lady, what do you think about that?”
Chen Xixi calmly responded, “No thoughts really, just saved myself thirty or forty years of detours, isn’t that great?”
Just as Chen Xixi’s words fell, a cold male voice suddenly came through, “666.”
“[666.]”
