Chapter 221 The Cool Live Broadcast
The number comments flooded quickly. In just an hour, there were nearly ten thousand of them.
Unknown: [What's Facebook Live? Never heard of it.]
Unknown: [The Cool is the top outdoor streamer on Douyu. Why would he switch to such a small platform?]
Unknown: [Yeah, I don't get it! Is there some big shot behind this platform?]
Unknown: [With the penalty fees and all, this move must have cost him millions! Totally unnecessary!]
Unknown: [But hey, I'm a loyal fan of The Cool. Wherever he goes, I go!]
Unknown: [Absolutely, supporting The Cool all the way!]
Unknown: [I'll send lots of gifts!]
In a standalone villa in Oceanbridge City, a tall, handsome young man was sitting on the couch, scrolling through Twitter with a big smile on his face. "About my switch, I thought I might lose some fans, but it turns out I have so many loyal supporters!"
"Well, The Cool, your outdoor streams are really entertaining!" Beside him, a tall, sexy woman with her arm around The Cool's neck and a Ferrari key in her hand laughed and said, "Those broke viewers are all poor guys, they have no villas, luxury cars—so they love watching you switch cars and pick up girls every day. It can fulfill their fantasies, so naturally they love your streams!"
On the table in front of them were keys to a dozen luxury cars: Ferraris, Rolls-Royces, Lamborghinis, Maseratis.
"Yeah, it's all about entertaining the masses," The Cool chuckled, "But renting these cars costs thousands of dollars a day. Outdoor streaming isn't easy!"
Meanwhile, the food critic community on Twitter was also blowing up.
Unknown: [What? The food critic switched platforms?]
Unknown: [This sudden move is so unexpected.]
Unknown: [Wherever the food critic goes, I go. I only watch his streams.]
Unknown: [Don't forget to send gifts!]
Unknown: [Always supporting the food critic!]
Unknown: [Food critic, stream eating king crab tomorrow! I've never had it before!]
Comments were flooding Twitter.
The executives at Douyu, the streaming giant, were in a frenzy upon hearing the news.
"What? The Cool switched platforms? He signed a three-year contract with us. Can he afford the penalty?" A middle-aged man in silk pajamas was lying in bed, taking a call with a grim expression.
He turned to a subordinate and instructed, "Investigate that Facebook Live platform immediately! I've never heard of it. Is there some big shot behind it? Find out now!"
The subordinate nodded and quickly said, "Yes sir, I'll investigate right away!"
Who would have thought that the internet upheaval was caused by an ordinary person? And this young man seemed completely unfazed by it.
After taking a shower, he went back to his room and had a good sleep.
The next day, after Lisa went to work, Noah and Scarlett went to the hospital to visit Grace after their breakfast.
Compared to yesterday, Grace looked noticeably better, with a slight flush on her cheeks. However, she still couldn't eat and was on a nutrient drip.
Noah stayed with her all morning, and by noon, Grace had fallen into a deep sleep again.
After instructing the nurse to take good care of her, Noah and Scarlett left the hospital.
"Noah, I want to go to the amusement park!" Scarlett suddenly said, "I've never been to one. I see kids having so much fun in the amusement park on TV, and I want to go there too."
"No problem!" Noah said, pinching Scarlett's cheek. He decided to take her to Disneyland.
At the amusement park, Scarlett had a blast on the drop tower, roller coaster, and carousel, laughing gleefully.
They played until around 3 PM before leaving the park.
"Scarlett, how about we hit the mall and buy some delicious food and pretty clothes?" Noah asked, holding her hand.
"Okay!" Scarlett was thrilled.
After getting in the car, Noah drove them to a nearby mall.
Columbus Square, one of the Oceanbridge City's large malls, contained various of shops inside: coffee shops, karaoke bars, arcades, clothing stores. It was bustling with people.
Many women in revealing outfits and walked past Noah.
Noah parked the car and said, "Scarlett, let's go."
He held Scarlett's hand and headed towards the mall.
Suddenly, the roar of an engine caught their attention.
A red Ferrari pulled up to the curb and stopped.
The Ferrari's sleek design and smooth lines gleamed in the sunlight, exuding an air of luxury.
The car immediately drew a crowd of onlookers.
Some took out their phones to snap pictures, while a few girls looked at the driver's seat with excitement and anticipation.
The car door lifted, and a young man wearing sunglasses stepped out.
He was 6'1", dressed in a red Armani T-shirt, LV shorts, and Yeezy sneakers, looking very trendy.
The girls who stood nearby, upon seeing this young man, were almost fainting with excitement.
The young man held a long selfie stick with a phone mounted on it, smiling and saying, "Thanks for the subscription, GamerDude99... Thanks for the gift, StarryNightFan! I appreciate your support... Just switched to a new platform, and I'm so touched to see so many familiar fans here. Thank you all for your support. The Cool will bring you even more exciting outdoor streams!"
"Is he a streamer?" a passerby wondered and asked.
"Must be. He's holding a selfie stick. Definitely a streamer. Streaming with a Ferrari—he must be a big deal!" another one replied.
These big streamers were certainly enviable.
With countless fans supporting them, they made tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars just by eating, drinking, and having fun every day.
Unlike ordinary people who had to work hard every day to make a living, struggling to earn in a year what these streamers made in a day.
The young man took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket, revealing a high-bridged nose and handsome face.
It was The Cool, streaming on Facebook Live for the first time!
"Today's stream is about shopping with a beautiful lady while driving a Ferrari," The Cool said and updated his stream title.
