Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 139, Section 136: The Rebellious Dragon God
Bilibili is also very sensitive to this trend.

Yuna Shimamura was originally one of their contracted streamers. As one of the most popular professional players in the world, the streaming contract they signed with her as a virtual streamer was absolutely incredibly lucrative.

Given their own team BLG's poor performance and failure to qualify for the Pioneer Tournament, pushing the map for Shimamura Yuna was inherently more valuable to them than pushing the map for their own LPL team TES.
No, you can’t say that either.

When TES loses, push negative information about TES, while simultaneously pushing positive trending topics about Shimamura Yuna.

The ability to clearly distinguish between likes and dislikes, and the ability to deal with competitors, are all comfortable aspects.

At that moment, after learning that Shimamura Yuna's "old man" had started broadcasting, Bilibili immediately sent staff over to listen to the entire broadcast.

The reason why Akari Kujo's live stream clips became popular so quickly is partly because Akari Kujo's stories were indeed interesting and had many highlights, and she herself is also good-looking.

On the other hand, there's also the reason that Bilibili's backend is pushing the stream; they are intentionally guiding the popularity.

Although the time was too short and too rushed.

Any online buzz takes time to build up; no matter how viral the content, it needs time to achieve its true, desired impact.

This morning alone is clearly not enough.

But Bilibili is still pushing it out with all its might.

Furthermore, they quickly contacted Akari Kujo herself through various means and said, "You should quickly find a computer and a stable network environment to stream the match. We will give you a second broadcast license."

Then, he quickly found a decent simultaneous interpreter on the site and asked her to help out when Akari Kujo was broadcasting the match live.

Akari Kujo was amazed by Bilibili's highly efficient actions.

I had only done a short live stream this morning, and it was my first time doing one. Yet, Bilibili contacted me so quickly, asking me to boost the buzz around me.

This really caught her off guard.

But that's it.
As the daughter of an entrepreneur and the eldest daughter of the Kujo family, Akari Kujo doesn't dislike this efficient way of doing things.

And
"According to them, my live stream generated considerable buzz online, right?"

Realizing this made Akari Kujo feel quite excited.

As the eldest daughter of the Kujo family, her life so far has been quite 'serious'.

Learn, learn, and keep learning.

It's not just about learning what's in books; there's also a lot of other things her parents want her to learn.

In short, she needs to become excellent, to become the proper, intelligent lady that those around her expect.

But in reality, she has a rebellious soul.

Her relationship with her parents wasn't bad, and it wasn't like the classic anime plot where there's a "caged bird rebelling against fate" or anything like that. (Thoughts)

She agrees with the values ​​her parents instilled in her, as well as the benefits she enjoys as the child of entrepreneurs and the necessity of receiving elite education.

She never felt restricted because she believed that everything her parents asked her to do was right.

However, sometimes, while she is learning and growing, she occasionally has some wandering thoughts.

Singer, broadcaster, painter, novelist
These professions always filled her with longing. Compared to becoming an entrepreneur or a stereotypical elite child as her parents demanded, participating in these industries seemed cooler and more prestigious.

However, she always felt that such an idea was unrealistic, so she eventually gave up.

After all, freelancing offers both freedom and income freedom.

She hasn't yet given up her comfortable life and social status to pursue this kind of freedom.

But what she didn't expect was that BILIBILI gave her a chance today, allowing her to have a good time.

Although she was well aware that she did not debut as a standalone anchor.

She identifies herself as "a friend of Shimamura Yuna".

However, even so, the attention people pay to me is real.

She finds the "old woman" joke very interesting and is happy to accept it.

Although it sounded a bit strange, she found it very interesting when she thought about the meaning behind it.

Moreover, judging from some of the comments on her live streams on Bilibili that she translated, her live streams received overwhelmingly positive reviews.

'Is it because people appreciate my humor?'

'While people only care about me because of my situation, I'm actually a pretty interesting person, right?'

Thinking about this made her feel good.

'Then I will respond to everyone's enthusiasm for me.'

Soon, it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

Today's match, HLE vs CFO, can be described as a highly anticipated and symbolically significant game.

Although everyone predicted before the match that HLE would have an easier time winning.

However, if you look at the approval ratings, the data is completely the opposite.

Regardless of the location in the world, the approval rating for CFOs is generally 90% or higher.

This even includes HLE's own home country, South Korea.

Yes, even in South Korea, the overwhelming majority of people support the CFO.

On one hand, Shimamura Yuna herself is very popular. Who wouldn't like such a popular little girl who is also good at games?

Seeing such a little girl win the championship would be worth dying for.

On the other hand, HLE offended the world's largest fan base of League of Legends because of the traitor Zeus.

There are probably a lot of people cursing Zeus every day now, hoping he'll lose and embarrass himself.

The combination of these two factors led to a situation where, despite HLE being a Korean team, even among Koreans, more people supported CFO.

Once they made it to the finals, it was impossible to tell that the match was being played on home soil in South Korea.

The internet was flooded with fans of Yuna Shimamura.

"yuna chan! yuna chan!"

The shouting was deafening, like a massive concert.

Moreover, many of them do not appear to be Chinese or other foreigners.

He is a genuine local Korean.

Whether you judge it from the Korean on the support sign or from the accent of the person speaking, that's the case.

It's safe to say that when it comes to managing fandoms, no one in the world is more professional than the South Koreans.

After gaining a certain level of popularity in South Korea, Shimamura Yuna's current situation is the result.

Viewers in Longshen's live stream commented on the scene, saying things like "Shimamura-san is the new queen" and "Wow, Shimamura-san is amazing."

Even Ryujin himself exclaimed, "Shimamura-san seems to have really become a star. She seems to be a global superstar now. Even Koreans are all cheering for her. How high is her popularity? Is she comparable to Lee Sin?"

"Sigh, I bet there are quite a few Li Ge fans here right now. Li Ge fans would love to curse him to death."

As always, before the match, Long Shen chatted about the players' gossip and talked about things that the audience might find interesting. Normally, with such a huge audience, he wouldn't know how much fun he would enjoy it all.

After all, in terms of public opinion, because he had some friction with Shimamura Yuna in the early days, and now he recognizes Shimamura Yuna as his mother, those who follow Shimamura Yuna like to come to his live stream to watch, because they feel that his live stream is the most interesting.

He usually enjoys the attention he receives, so it's fair to say he's the biggest beneficiary of the "filial son of Shimamura" persona.

However, the situation seems a little different today.

Just when he should have been enjoying the viewership from commentating on the match, suddenly, a large number of people in the live stream started spamming "The old man is streaming, everyone leave."

Seeing this situation, the dragon god who was protecting his food felt an inexplicable anger.

The old man actually knew who it was before the broadcast started today.

After a morning and an afternoon of this going on, most people who surf the internet quickly now know who Bilibili is.

It's about Shimamura Yuna, the person who was rumored to be his girlfriend.

The video she posted this morning recounting her past story with Yuna Shimamura has now surpassed 100 million views.

Don't be fooled by the low number of views.

Keep in mind that only half a day had passed.

These 100 million views were generated by the fastest surfers and those with the best information.

This is essentially equivalent to the fact that almost everyone who spends a lot of time online already knows about this news.

And this is just the playback on the Bilibili platform alone, not including playback on other platforms.

Now, almost everyone in the world knows that Shimamura Yuna has a friend who is exceptionally kind to her, even to the point of being a bit of a jerk.

The whole world knows that this old man has been accompanying Shimamura Yuna all along.

By seizing this wave of popularity and having Akari Kujo start her broadcast, Bilibili is bound to draw away all the other viewership.

Yes, the current live stream chat filled with people saying "The old man's starting his broadcast, brothers, let's go" is a typical example.

Normally, when Longshen encounters people trying to attract viewers to his live stream, his attitude is very simple.

That is a ban.

But today, it doesn't feel right.

After all, no matter what, in terms of her current persona, Shimamura Yuna is still considered her biological mother.

Despite being completely unrelated, Shimamura Yuna never even spoke a single word to him.

However, he is Shimamura Yuna's famously devoted son on the internet, and it is because of this persona that he has been able to reap so much from Shimamura Yuna's popularity during the competition these past few days.

Since Shimamura is his biological mother, if we consider that, Kujo Akari, who is very close to Shimamura, can also be considered his stepmother.

This stepmother wants to generate traffic, and you're not going to be possessive and rebellious, are you?
Are you going to go against your stepmother?
So, he watched as the traffic to the live stream was diverted and the number of viewers in the live stream gradually decreased, but he dared not say a word more.

They didn't even dare to express any dissatisfaction.

Things are different now than before.

Thanks to his persona as Takako Shimamura, he has gained even more popularity on top of his previous fame.

While attracting more viewers, the live stream also gained a large number of viewers who were completely different from those in the past.

His longtime viewers know what kind of person he really is and don't take his words and actions too seriously.

Everyone knows that he's the kind of person who can change his attitude in an instant.

But the traffic-driving dogs that have been attracting traffic recently are actually quite innocent.

If he suddenly expresses disrespect for Shimamura, and pulls some kind of character reversal, he'll probably really quit the internet.

He wasn't afraid of cyberbullying; he was afraid of offending the wrong people.

The reason he dares to criticize this professional player or that professional player is because he has no real vested interest in these players.

On the contrary, Bilibili also wants him to consume this negative traffic, so it will let him bite wildly.

In other words, no matter how skilled or popular the opponent is as a professional player.

For him, as long as he can withstand the cyberbullying from his fans, it doesn't matter. He can still be criticized as he pleases, and he can still profit from online abuse as he pleases.

The more he was attacked by fans of professional players, the more excited he became.

On the contrary, the fervent fans of professional players, after realizing that their cyberbullying cannot destroy or silence them, will choose to stay away from them.

To put it bluntly, he's not afraid of professional players; on the contrary, professional players are afraid of getting tangled up with his shit.

But Shimamura Yuna was an exception for him.

That's someone you really can't mess with.

He had always known that Shimamura Yuna had signed a fairly long live streaming contract with Bilibili.

Back when Shimamura Yuna wasn't a professional player and her popularity was just average, Bilibili let her say whatever she wanted, since generating some buzz was always a good thing.

But now, Shimamura Yuna is considered Bilibili's true top star.

That's something you really can't bite, and you can't afford to mess with.

Moreover, Shimamura Yuna suffers from depression, which has angered her fans. If these fans start spreading rumors and claiming that she suffers from cyberbullying and depression, she could really be blacklisted.

In conclusion, he is not afraid of anyone, including TheShy and JKL, and he even dares to directly oppose them.

But Shimamura Yuna was someone he absolutely couldn't touch.

One driver could only suppress his anger, not daring to express even the slightest dissatisfaction.

Some viewers who are very familiar with the Dragon God's personality chose to send him a SC (Special Sentence) to interrogate his soul.

[Brother Shen, it must be tough seeing a bunch of Shimamura-san's fans in the live stream driving traffic to the old man, but you don't dare to kick them out directly.]

Hey God, it seems like everyone's gone to see Shimamura-san's old man, nobody's paying attention to you anymore.

[The old man is related to you in some way, shouldn't you make some offerings to him?]

Seeing these SCs made Ryujin feel bad, but he could only force a smile on his face.

"Sigh, look at you all, so delusional. Go wherever you want to see a doctor, what does it have to do with me?"

"Anyway, I have always supported Shimamura-san. No matter how you slander her, you can't change this fact."

"You guys always like to judge others by your own petty standards. Of course I'm happy to see Shimamura's friend doing a live stream. How could I not be happy?"

However, of course, no one believed his explanation.

His sarcastic tone and his listless, unenthusiastic state.

His true thoughts have been completely exposed.

The comments section was full of things like "unfilial son," "wolfish ambition," and "ungrateful wretch."
