I’m Really a Superstar-Novel2

Chapter 1278: 'The Great Truth' finale!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

At night.

China Qiyuan.

A group of professional Go players had gathered here, with some of them rushing over to rubberneck after hearing about what had happened. They were all either extremely stunned, puking blood, or unable to close their mouths from laughing too much.

Hu Liang asked, "Has it ended?"

Xu Han said with a chuckle, "They've already finished playing."

The Qiyuan president said, "No one's bothered with him anymore."

"Why is this fellow so free today? He even came to look for me to play a game this afternoon. How could I want to play against him? In the end, I kicked him out from the room." Li Yi 9-dan harrumphed.

Tian Weiwei wiped away his sweat. "Lord Zhang also approached me to play a game this afternoon."

Chen Ying 8-dan said in amusement, "He found me too, I think he was streaming."

"Streaming? Then wouldn't he have embarrassed us thoroughly on a global level?" Li Yi was feeling rather speechless.

Hu Liang disagreed. "He didn't bring us any shame at all. Clearly, he has displayed the might of our nation!"

Xu Han said with a smile, "Yes. In the world of Go, everything is still dependent on strength."

The president suddenly said, "I find it to be pretty good. With Little Zhang's brouhaha, I'm certain that it will get more people interested in Go. This is good for the entire field."

Chen Ying 8-dan said helplessly, "Zhang Ye is invincible right now, with no one able to match him at all. It'd be very difficult for the international Go world to find anyone who could possibly best him."

He swept the American server!

He swept the Japanese server!

He swept the Korean server!

Where else could they find another godly person like him?

There wasn't one in the past, and there wouldn't be one in the future!

…

In the livestreaming channel.

From out of nowhere, the number of viewers had soared to a terrifying number!

8 million!

9 million!

10 million!

It actually broke past 10 million viewers!

In the past, the record for a livestream's total viewers did not even reach 8 million, let alone 10 million concurrent viewers. This was like a dream!

Meihe TV's staff were so happy they could go crazy!

People from the other livestreaming sites were all dumbfounded!

Why?historical

Because it was just too terrifying!

Wasn't it just a stream of Go?

How many people in this world even knew about or could play Go?

So how the fuck did it get so many viewers?

Yet it did. There were just so many people who enjoyed watching Zhang Ye posture like this and see him acting all showy. The more they watched, the more they liked it, and the more they couldn't stop watching. It was as though this fellow had a natural charm. At times, some people who were watching would end up wanting to insult him in between their laughter as they found him to be to be too unconventional. But even after the insults, they still continued to like him so damn much that they couldn't understand why.

Onscreen.

Zhang Ye had logged out from the account. He said with a smile, "Alright, that's enough. It's about time I stopped offending any more people. I suppose the Korean and Japanese servers' people must be hopping mad at me. Everyone, please be tight-lipped about this. I was not the one who played those games today. I won't be taking responsibility for them and be scolded for it. What? You're asking me who played them then? Of course it's the owner of that 'dushd' account!"

The owner of that account nearly spat out a mouthful of blood!

Messages scrolled by.

"—Aiyo, can you please stop joking around—Teacher Zhang, you're so bad that you're oozing with evilness—Hahahaha—How sad that the owner has to bear this responsibility—dushd will become famous. To that bro, whenever you log on to the account in the future, please take caution. I believe that when you get online, the entire world will curse at you in all kinds of languages—It's a good time for you to pick up a few more languages then—Pfft, that's enough, guys!—I had such a good laugh today—There's really no other celebrity like Teacher Zhang Ye—I like him so much—The best thing about Zhang Ye is how well he can pretend—Yes, if anyone else has the achievements of Zhang Ye, like being a literary scholar, a mathematician, the number one person in the Go world, they would probably be conceited to an unimaginable degree. But looking at Zhang Ye, he's still the same as before. He's still like how he was when we first got to know him—Yes, he hasn't changed at all—"

Looking at the time.

It was already 8:30 in the evening!

Zhang Ye was surprised. "Aiyo, how did time pass so quickly? Why didn't any of you remind me? The site only wanted me to stream for two hours, but I've already gone on for over six hours. I started at 2 PM and it's now 8:30 PM? I haven't even eaten yet! You people are really mistreating me!"

A flurry of insults scrolled past.

"—Go to hell—You're the one who's mistreating us—Hahaha, you're the one who didn't fucking keep track of time, so how dare you blame us for it?—It was you who didn't go offline yourself—I haven't had dinner yet either—So you've also realized that it's already past 8?—Pfft, and I thought you were gonna stream until dawn—That wasn't enough, give us more—Yeah, Teacher Zhang, it's this late, so what would a few more minutes matter?—Show us something else that we haven't seen before—Agreed—+1—Give us a finale—You can go and eat after you're done with one last one—"

Zhang Ye was at his wits' end. "Another one? Something that you guys haven't seen before? I've already performed a crosstalk, MCed, and played Go, what else have you guys not seen me do? I suppose you've seen it all already." Thinking for a bit, he said, "Why don't I sing you a folk song for y'all?"

A folk song?

You even know how to sing a folk song?

The channel's viewers got all excited!

"—Come on then—Hurry up—Alright, a folk song it shall be—Let's hear how it sounds—Quickly sing it—Is it going to be an opera song or what?—"

There were no clappers 1 .

There were no stringed instruments.

Zhang Ye stood up with his full body in frame and opened his mouth to start singing.

"About relations?

"The Heavens are not kin.

"It has the Sun, Moon, and stars.

"The cycle of the Sun and Moon ages people.

"Taking countless people from this world.

"About relations?

"The Earth is not kin.

"The land is full of living beings as precious as gold.

"Fighting for fame and fortune through the years.

"Visiting old graves after the new."

Listening to this, many of Zhang Ye's friends sighed.

Yao Jiancai fell silent.

Ha Qiqi looked at Zhang Ye.

Hearing this tune, they just couldn't smile no matter what. All they felt was a heavy, sinking feeling in their hearts.

Zhang Ye sang.

"About relations?

"Are my peers the closest?"

The people in the channel cheered!

Yi!

Yi!

Yi!

Hahaha!

Zhang Ye sighed and sang.

"No, they aren't either.

"Infighting and plots, chill the heart!"

Suddenly, he raised his voice.

Zhang Ye looked at the camera and sang.

"About relations?

"The audience is the closest!

"The audience and actors are linked by their hearts!"

The scrolling comments were all praise!

"—Good!—Good!—Well said!—"

Zhang Ye was very into it.

"As the old saying goes!

"Without the patron, no artist would arise!

"Braved the cold winds and snow yesterday to get to the dry north!

"Traveling to Jiangnan today for the scenery!

"I offer a word of advice.

"Stay away from wine, women, and song!

"And don't indulge in eating, drinking, orgies, or gambling!

"I cup my fist and pay respects to all: Everyone, may fortune shine upon you and your business thrive!"

Zhang Ye gave a fist and palm salute and faced the camera with a mix of emotions. He had long wanted to sing the words of this folk song and had done so today because it was also a timely reminder to himself. It was just the correct day. And the correct place. Everything else was bullshit. Only the audience was the most sincere. Only those without any motives and truly liked him were the most sincere of people. Zhang Ye wanted to tell himself that this was true no matter how far he went, and that he mustn't forget this all his life.

"—Great—That was very well sung—Zhang Ye, you're really awesome—Teacher Zhang, I like you a lot—Thank you—Teacher Zhang, it's been hard on you—"

A folk song called "The Great Truth" from his previous world's Deyun Society 2 had moved plenty of people here!

Today's stream made many viewers revel in joy. They were thoroughly satisfied through the pores of their skin to every cell in their bodies. It was such a joy to watch!

The opening was good!

The process was good!

The closing was also good!

There was nothing to complain about!

This was the first time a celebrity from the entertainment industry had succeeded in testing the waters of online streaming!
