C13 The Internet Celebrity Spike Was Bullying Me with His Voice!

I love it; it's so uplifting!

This motivational vibe is great, just as moving as the melancholic "Twilight"!

Uncle, you've got to sing "Twilight" for us. I'm in agony without it! I swear, if I go a day without hearing it, I might as well be dead. I'm way too attached to that song!

Qin Mo really spoils his fans.

Back in his past life, he was in showbiz, always careful to maintain his reputation.

A star's success is nothing without fan support. Some celebs let fame go to their heads, playing their fans for fools, only to crash and burn worse than anyone when their house of cards falls.

Qin Mo grabbed his guitar and began strumming the intro to "Twilight".

After wrapping up "Twilight", he launched into his newly released "My Future Isn't a Dream".

"Because I don't care what others say."

"I've never forgotten who I am."

"My promises to myself."

"My unwavering love."

"I know my future isn't just a dream."

"I live each minute with purpose."

As Qin Mo was wrapping up the song, a live connection invite popped up.

He set his guitar aside and furrowed his brow as he checked the notification.

In his past life, he was used to managing celebrities, and though he was somewhat familiar with live streaming, he wasn't an expert.

This invite was likely a connection request from another broadcaster.

Qin Mo chuckled, playfully ribbing his viewers in the live stream.

"What's this, anyone know?"

"I'm an old man here; this is beyond me!"

"Is this a PK challenge? Are there penalties for losing?"

"It's not one of those streamers begging for donations, is it? That's not my style!"

"Should I accept it? What do you all think?"

Just then, an eagle-eyed viewer recognized the caller – it was Spike, a hugely famous music influencer on Conboat with over ten million fans!

Other music influencers rely on their looks or cover songs.

But Spike, he's all about originality!

Oh, it's Spike! This is going to be epic!

Come on, hit accept, let's have a live PK battle!

The sultry uncle is about to belt it out online!

Let's do this! Today we're going to see who comes out on top!

Egged on by his viewers, Qin Mo accepted the challenge.

The screen split in two, revealing Spike's live stream room.

With a broad smile, Spike called out, "Hello there, uncle!"

Qin Mo returned the greeting with a smile, "Hello, Spike!"

Spike cut to the chase, "Uncle, I'm not here to beat around the bush. I've come to throw down the gauntlet!"

Qin Mo's interest was piqued, "Do tell!"

Spike laid out his challenge, "Let's take turns singing, each of us with an original song. We'll see who racks up the most gifts, and the loser faces a penalty!"

Qin Mo was taken aback.

He had only just arrived in this world and was unfamiliar with Spike.

Despite the plethora of internet stars on Conboat, he hadn't looked into any of them, nor did he have any recollection of them.

Now that he was live with Spike, it wasn't the time to be Googling his background.

Qin Mo wasn't concerned about Spike's abilities, though. The songs he had released were timeless Earth classics that never faded in popularity.

The song "Dusk" alone had dominated the music website charts for two years straight!

Was Spike really that confident in his own talent?

"Uh... well..." Qin Mo hesitated.

Spike quickly reassured him, "No worries, the punishment is just for show. I won't do anything extreme. To prove my point, I'll start!"

Spike began to play the electronic keyboard before him.

After just a couple of lines, Qin Mo's brow furrowed slightly.

Spike might claim to be an original artist, but his songwriting skills were mediocre at best.

Qin Mo even detected hints of other classic Blue Star tunes in his work.

It appeared that the musical internet celebrities of Conboat were all "stitch freaks" or, colloquially, "music tailors."

Yet, as soon as Spike opened his mouth, the live stream's viewership skyrocketed.

In no time, the audience swelled to five million.

Spike had brought his own fanbase, and the platform, spotting the head-to-head battle, had featured them prominently.

Spike's choice, "Sleepless for You Tonight," was a lyrical ballad.

Its style bore a resemblance to "Dusk," yet it was peppered with showy techniques that made it seem as if Spike's skills surpassed Qin Mo's!

Qin Mo remained cool and collected.

...

Meanwhile, the brightly lit Conboat building buzzed with activity as the staff began to tune into the stream.

The explosive growth in Qin Mo's live stream numbers had Manager Faang of the operations department suspecting inflated data.

Manager Faang, rubbing his thinning hair, turned to the data analyst, Xiao Zhang.

"I think there's data manipulation at play. Can you check the actual traffic for Spike and Qin Mo's streams?"

A minute later.

Xiao Zhang reported back earnestly, "Aside from Spike purchasing around a hundred thousand bots, all the other numbers are legitimate!"

Manager Faang's bald spot shone even brighter in shock, "All real? A surge of five million in just five minutes?"

Xiao Zhang mopped the sweat from his brow, "Yes, a five million increase in five minutes. It's an unprecedented number. Since Conboat started, only one person has hit those numbers!"

Manager Faang murmured, "I know, Yu Ke'er, but she had a fanbase before she arrived. Qin Mo is a complete newcomer!"

Xiao Zhang offered eagerly, "Manager Faang, perhaps Qin Mo is the key to unlocking massive traffic!"

Manager Faang nodded and addressed his team, "Listen up. We'll proceed in two steps. First, we'll do everything to get Qin Mo on contract and secure exclusive rights to the song. Second, we'll roll out interactive activities on the platform, like duets or collaborations with Qin Mo. It should work wonders!"

"Got it!" the operations team chorused.

Manager Faang added, "Stay focused on Qin Mo. Ramp up the exposure, push the PKs, and prioritize high-quality users. Let's see how much traffic Qin Mo can really pull in!"

Xiao Wang, the promotions lead, hesitated.

Conboat's traffic was incredibly valuable, with personalized feeds for every user, and premium users came at a steep price!

Manager Faang's directive was to essentially open the floodgates, something no grassroots talent had ever been granted!

This push could mean blowing through millions in ad revenue!

Manager Faang shot him a look, "What? Doubting my call?"

Xiao Wang shook his head vigorously, "No, not at all. It just seems a bit risky."

Manager Faang huffed, "Scared? I'll shoulder the blame if things go south. Qin Mo is going to be Conboat's mainstay, the future top dog. Pour on the promotion!"

Little Wang grumbled, "What if I can't win a PK battle? When the bosses start pointing fingers, guess who's going to take the fall? Me..."

Manager Faang, however, was oblivious to these concerns, his gaze fixed on the screen with unwavering confidence.

Ever since Qin Mo had dropped his first track on Conboat, Manager Faang had kept a close watch on him.

One after another, Qin Mo's works wowed the audience, and the visitor stats were nothing short of astonishing...

PK battles weren't the finish line; they were just the beginning!

Qin Mo was destined to take Conboat by storm!

...

Inside the live broadcast room.

Spike, already a celebrity with tens of millions of followers, had a strong base of devoted fans.

They were all there, setting the tone in the live broadcast room.

Spike's new song is so catchy!

Personally, I find it way better than Qin Mo's—especially the high notes, they really pop!

Spike's foundation is solid, no question. Qin Mo just got lucky with the lyrics and melody!

But Spike's vocals are on point too!

Go Spike, take it to the next level!

The newbie uncle, despite his age, lacks experience and can't match Spike's live performance stability!

Qin Mo couldn't help but wonder, 'Just how many fans has Spike paid off?'
