I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 84 I'm happy today, let me dance for everyone (5th update, please subscribe)

Ye Xian did not use his usual musical instruments to start the live broadcast that evening.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Xian!"

"I'm so happy today, I'm going to dance for everyone!"

"I've never danced before, so those who join the live stream early are in for a treat! Those who join later, don't blame me!"

Ye Xian winked and looked at the newly bought live streaming camera lens.

Now that 15 days have passed, Kuaiyin and Haishi Music platforms have settled the fees for January.

Since uploading his first short video on January 21, Ye Xian has earned more than 200,000 yuan online and offline after deducting various service fees, miscellaneous fees, and taxes.

Expenses, including investment, gifts, alcohol, daily expenses, and purchases, totaled 5 yuan.

Ye Xian had about 5 yuan in cash left.

In addition, there is 100,000 yuan in sales revenue from the first half of February, which the platform needs to settle on March 15.

Tips can be settled the next day, but sales revenue has to wait one and a half months.

Without the income from tips, Ye Xian could be said to have barely made any money in the past 20 days, because he hadn't even settled his wages with Qiu's mother yet.

However, when the settlement comes in March, the income will be very considerable, possibly several times that of February.

With the money in hand, Ye Xian immediately took out 3 yuan to upgrade his live streaming equipment, and replaced the camera lens from the Orange phone with a dedicated live streaming camera.

Ye Xian doesn't usually spend money recklessly, and he's never particular about his meals, but he's very willing to spend a lot of money on the equipment he uses for live streaming.

The 3 yuan was mainly spent on the camera.

Secondly, I bought a large-screen monitor, mainly to display the comments in the live stream, so I don't need to get close to my phone screen or computer to see everyone's comments.

This allows streamers to interact with fans more efficiently.

Having worked in operations in another world, he was very clear that with the increase in viewership in the live stream, ordinary mobile phones could no longer handle the traffic.

They traded their muskets for cannons.

The clarity of the live stream footage was immediately improved significantly.

[Nothing's more popular than Aunt Flo: Now that you mention it, I'm in for a treat today! I actually get to see Brother Xian dance!]

[Casual Ghost: Wow, I can see abs through my clothes! Eight packs! Definitely eight packs!]

[Raise your buttocks and prepare for battle: Based on my years of experience listening to music in brothels, Brother Xian definitely has the looks of a courtesan!]

[Cute Machine: What courtesan? That's a... gigolo!]

……

[There's always a foolish son trying to harm his father: This dance is so despicable!]

[Missing a screw in the Five Elements: Holy crap, what kind of dance is Xian Ge doing? Why is it so mesmerizing?]

[Top Scorer: Why is Brother Xian wearing a green wig? What does it mean? Who did he cheat on?]

[Even a bald man can shine: The movements are so simple, I feel like I can do it too!]

[Using Flesh to Overcome Steel: This dance is so addictive! I really want to dance along!]

[The Chrysanthemum's Three Wraths: The eyes say, "I've learned it!" The body says, "To hell with it! Let whoever wants to dance, dance!"]

……

The dance Ye Xian is currently performing is "Victory Dance," adapted from the Axe Gang's dance in another world. The most interesting part isn't Ye Xian dancing himself, but rather the several people in suits standing behind him.

Ding Zhan, Qiu's mother, Zhao Fen, and Qian Duoduo.

With Ye Xian included, there are exactly five people.

The five people lined up in a V-shape and bent over to start "fly rubbing their hands".

Ye Xian was wearing a white shirt and black trousers.

Zhao Fen and Qian Duoduo were wearing black suits.

Ding Zhan and Qiu's mother were both wearing white suits.

Everyone wore a skull mask, a red headscarf, and a green wig on their head.

Five people, each a distinct color, were scattered about.

Bottom left, bottom right; top left, top right.

Step on your right foot, then step on your left foot; step back with your right foot, then step back with your left foot.

The fly rubbed its hands four times.

The moment the mesmerizing head-shaking began, all the viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.

Donations poured in like rain, constantly being sent.

[I have spicy strips, follow me: Isn't that Qiu's mom behind her? It must be her, I recognize her eyes!]

[Going shopping with a baby bottle in her mouth: My goodness, is Qiu's mom really this carefree?]

[A person with a lot of nonsense: Don't you know that Qiu's mother is a dance teacher? I suspect she choreographed this dance!]

[Shrimp Doesn't Blink: Who are those two girls? I've never seen them before! Are they new here?]

[Chest Pressed Cookie: Speaking of which, there are more and more women around Brother Xian! What should we do?]

[Straight to the Dry Road: Ding Zhan, such a refined middle-aged man, dancing like this—what's wrong with this era?]

……

The captivating dance, which started as a performance in front of an audience, transformed into a dance battle between Ye Xian and four others, lasting for five minutes. At the same time, the number of viewers in Ye Xian's live stream almost simultaneously surpassed 3000.

"Phew, so tired!"

"How was that dance? I call it the 'Victory Dance'! I'll post the video after the broadcast ends."

Ye Xian took a breath, removed his wig, headscarf, and mask, picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and smiled, "This dance isn't directed at anyone. It's just that Auntie was happy today, so I thought of using this method to make her even happier."

[There are always women trying to sleep with me: Bullshit! You won the lawsuit and are now showing off, and you even say you're not targeting anyone!]

[Do whatever you want on the kang: Hmm, I feel like Brother Xian is just genuinely happy! Happy to see the heartless person punished!]

[Love is so deep that legs naturally part: No, it's because Aunt Qiu is happy that Brother Xian is happy. Don't get the wrong person!]

[Please call me Jixiangwu: Let Aunt Qiu come over and talk to us, we want to talk to Aunt Qiu!]

[The Great Tang Dynasty's Number One Chief: Am I the only one who wants to chat with Ding Zhan? I want to ask him why he's not blind this time?]

[Lift your butt and let's fight: Who are those two women in the back? Confess!]

……

The live stream room erupted in cheers. Ye Xian chatted for a few more minutes, and after everyone's emotions began to calm down a bit, he began his routine lecture on the fifth episode of "Dream of the Red Chamber".

By the fifth episode, a number of fans of "Dream of the Red Chamber" had gathered in the live stream. Many people began to find it interesting to explore the story. Some people started to like the sentimental Lin Daiyu, while others became interested in the shrewd, clever and shrewish Wang Xifeng.

The character of Jia Baoyu has gradually begun to gain popularity.

Some say he's a lovelorn playboy, others say he's a scumbag...

This episode just showed Lin Ruhai falling critically ill and Lin Daiyu returning to Yangzhou.

"cough!"

Ye Xian coughed softly and picked up his teacup.

[This humble Taoist priest only touches chrysanthemums: Damn it, that old sixth brother, here he comes again!]

[Lady, please wait: I'm going to the restroom!]

[There are always women who want to sleep with me: Toilet time! Toilet time!]

[Hilariously Laughing: GG Warning Ahead! GG Warning!]

[Night Raid on the Nunnery: Have you guys noticed that Ye Xian's lectures on "Dream of the Red Chamber" have become more captivating lately? His manner of speaking seems more sophisticated too?]

……

The viewers in the live stream already knew Ye Xian's tricks and that he was about to make a mistake, so they immediately started mocking him.

"If you don't like me selling things, then we can chat instead. Talking about books is tiring."

Ye Xian wasn't going to put up with this group. He ordered all sorts of things, including Haizhou rice wine, durian pastries, durian cakes, and small black duck necks. After talking for a full 20 minutes, he finally picked up his teacup.

Everyone understood that Ye Xian had finished saying "GG," and the comments immediately quieted down.

"Oh, by the way, Aunt Qiu is giving everyone a treat again today!"

Ye Xian bent down and took out a cardboard box from under the tea table.

Everyone slapped their foreheads, realizing they'd forgotten that this guy sometimes breathes very heavily.

Ye Xian grinned as he opened the box and took out the products inside.

"Hey everyone, we've got a new late-night snack in store—Double Star Pork Jerky! It's delicious and contains no starch or preservatives. Let me open a bag and let you all try it."

Ye Xian picked up the reddish-brown pork jerky, put it into his mouth piece by piece, and chewed it bite by bite, making the fans in the live broadcast room drool.

[Today is another day of eating dirt: I feel like Brother Xian is doing this on purpose! All the products he selects are late-night snacks!]

[Let me tell you something: I already said why I named his fans "Midnight Snack"! He knew we were a bunch of foodies!]

[Nationally designated top-tier unprotected waste: I can't take it anymore, I'm ordering! Not only am I ordering, I'm also going to order takeout to satisfy my craving first!]

[Lacking meat in my five elements: Takeout? I just had the duck neck he recommended, and now he's giving me pork jerky! Is he trying to kill me?!]

[A fairy with a beer belly: I want to eat Brother Xian!]

Ps1: Today's Recap

Haizhou aged liquor inventory: 7731 bottles.

PS2: For the Axe Gang version of "Victory Dance," I recommend watching the "Uneven Dance Troupe." Absolutely, absolutely do not watch the version with the braided brother! Absolutely do not watch it!
