SRGA Chapter 27: Displaying a Unique Skill, Fans Surprised
"Master Lin, the fans are here, quickly show off your unique skill."
"Yes, show it off quickly."
Countless barrage messages quickly flooded the screen. The current audience in the live broadcast room exceeded one million, and the heat in the room was incredibly high.
Numerous gifts continued pouring in.
While most of these gifts were of relatively low value, there were also quite a few high-value ones among them.
Fans of the erhu tended to be older, with many of them having considerable financial means. However, it was challenging for ordinary broadcasters to entice them to tip.
Lin Tian was different.
With his erhu skills reaching the level of a top master, he was worth tipping. If he broadcasted more frequently, his fans might be more generous.
— Although Lin Tian had only recently started posting videos, his fans had already seen through his lazy nature.
Many loyal fans had already given substantial tips. Lin Tian had only started broadcasting now, and if it weren't for the trolls, he probably wouldn't have started yet.
Lin Tian smiled and said, "Everyone, I have to tell you that the erhu is just one of my hobbies; I'm not a professional erhu broadcaster."
Fans: "..."
The million fans in the live broadcast room were all stunned.
Lin Tian, whose erhu skills were at the level of a top master, was not a professional erhu broadcaster?
"Anchor, what do you mean? Are you proficient in other areas too?"
"Anchor, are you planning to showcase other instruments?"
Countless people crazily spammed the barrage, and the barrage was scrolling so quickly that it was not easy to read ordinary messages.
Lin Tian smiled slightly and said, "I won't showcase other instruments. Instead, I'll demonstrate one-handed push-ups. If anyone's interested, feel free to challenge."
Lin Tian's announcement disappointed many of the viewers.
Although one-handed push-ups were difficult, many people could still do them. Compared to master-level erhu playing, this couldn't be considered a unique skill.
At that moment, Lin Tian straightened his body and lowered himself to the ground. Just before he touched the ground, he steadied himself with his right palm.
Then, to the astonished gaze of millions in the live broadcast room, Lin Tian bent four of his fingers, and he supported his upper body with just his index finger.
"What am I seeing?"
"This isn't just one-handed push-ups; it's one-finger push-ups!"
"How is this possible?"
The barrage of messages increased even more, and a large number of gifts flew across the screen.
"One, two, three—"
Lin Tian began to do push-ups, and his form was quite standard.
"Nineteen, twenty!"
After completing the twentieth one, Lin Tian stood up.
"Everyone, let's just keep it simple and do twenty push-ups. Welcome to challenge, but make sure to know your limits."
Lin Tian said with a smile.
"I can't believe it; we can challenge this?"
"Thank goodness, even I can't do twenty push-ups with both hands!"
"Master Lin, you're called Masked Hero; are you also skilled in martial arts?"
Lin Tian said, "Everyone, it's been two hours, I've shown my unique skill, and it's time to say goodbye."
Hearing Lin Tian's words, countless barrage messages pleaded for him to stay.
"Master Lin, we haven't finished showering you with gifts yet."
"Master Lin, please don't leave yet; show us another unique skill."
Millions of fans sent even more diverse gifts.
Many people were just here for the spectacle of the erhu, but Lin Tian's unique skill truly amazed them.
Lin Tian said, "Everyone, there will be a live broadcast every week, and next time, I'll bring you more unique skills. See you at the same time next week."
With that, Lin Tian ended the live broadcast directly.
The live broadcast room turned into a black screen.
But even so, there were still many people sending gifts.
According to Hua Yin's rules, the live broadcast room could be preheated for ten minutes before the official start, and after the end, it could exist for another ten minutes.
"I can't believe it."
Lin Tian clicked his tongue secretly; his gift value had actually reached three million, nearing the three million mark before the broadcast completely stopped.
According to his agreement with Hua Yin, he would receive one million eight hundred thousand.
"I probably won't have this much income in the future, but to earn this much in just one live broadcast, I can't believe it."
Lin Tian thought to himself.
He had only been broadcasting for two hours, and if the broadcast had been longer, it would have been possible for his gifts to exceed five million.
"Ding ding!"
His phone rang, and it was Zhang Han calling.
"Master Lin, congratulations on a very successful first live broadcast. Master Lin, your fan conversion rate is very high. If you do product placements, you might earn even higher profits."
The call connected, and Zhang Han said warmly.
Lin Tian replied, "Brother Zhang, I'm sorry, but I'm not considering product placements for now."
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Han was taken aback.
"Master Lin, product placements are very stable. Your tip income will definitely decrease."
Zhang Han reminded him.
With such high income this time, it was inseparable from the natural traffic that Hua Yin provided. If Lin Tian didn't do product placements and his income decreased, the natural traffic given to him by Hua Yin would also decrease.
"Brother Zhang, it's difficult to guarantee the source of goods."
"I don't want to tire myself out for a little money."
Lin Tian said.
His goal was clear: to earn some living expenses.
He'd leave the big money-making
to his wife.
If he started doing product placements, he'd be too busy. How would he have time to spend with Luo Bingning and open treasure chests?
"Alright."
Zhang Han didn't try to persuade him anymore.
He felt that when Lin Tian's income decreased, he would definitely consider doing product placements. With Lin Tian's popularity, the income from doing product placements would be very high.
...
"I can't believe it, one-finger push-ups."
"Hahaha, I've already tagged many fitness bloggers."
"Then I'll tag some martial arts bloggers."
With over a million viewers watching the live broadcast, many people recorded it, and various messages quickly spread on the internet.
Compared to Lin Tian's showcased erhu skills, the unique skill he showed later had even stronger topicality and spread more widely.
Before long, related messages appeared on the trending topics of Microblog.
And not just one.

On Hua Yin, various push-up challenges also appeared, and many bloggers didn't miss out on this trend.
Without a doubt, almost no one succeeded in the challenge.
Even Tang Yan, who was at the peak of Brightness Realm, would find it difficult to do one-finger push-ups. There might be some hope for reaching the level of Dark Realm, but those at that level were generally not young, and they rarely played on Hua Yin or participated in such challenges.
Lin Tian logged out of the Hua Yin app.
He didn't know that as various messages spread rapidly, his number of fans was rapidly increasing, even faster than on the first day.
At this rate, reaching over ten million fans was definitely not far off.
"Xiao Lin, I'd like to invite you to join a group chat. The ten or so people in this group are all erhu masters."
Wu Lao sent a message to Lin Tian.
"Wu Lao, is it appropriate?"
"Of course, it's appropriate. Although you're a bit younger, your skills are no less than those of Master Ouyang."
Soon, Wu Lao sent Lin Tian an invitation.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian chose to join. The group of erhu masters provided him with a lot of help, and he had to thank them.
