SRGA Chapter 74: Erhu, Grandmaster Level?
Lin Tian sneered inwardly. Just shutting down the livestream?
If she wasn't punished for this, Lin Tian estimated that it wouldn't be long before other ex-girlfriends of his would emerge.
And that would be the best-case scenario.
His "parents" might even come out.
For fame, for profit, many people have no bottom line.
"I told you Master Lin would definitely be fine."
"Everyone should know what's up with Sweet Bunny by now, if they're not blind."
A barrage of messages supporting Lin Tian flooded the screen.
The criticisms against Lin Tian decreased significantly.
"Everyone, I've been quite low-key, but unexpectedly, trouble still found its way to me overnight. Another ex-girlfriend even popped up overnight."
"Alright, let's not talk about that."
"Everyone, let's listen to some music quietly. After this time, there might not be a next time. I'm afraid more ex-girlfriends will emerge if I get even more famous."
Lin Tian chuckled lightly.
Countless viewers in the livestream were dumbfounded.
"Master Lin, please don't! We look forward to your livestreams every day."
"Master Lin, I was wrong. I shouldn't have stayed silent when you were wrongly accused. Please don't stop livestreaming. I'll go criticize Sweet Bunny later!"
"Master Lin—"
Countless messages filled the screen.
Lin Tian picked up his erhu. With the help of Guoan, he had concealed his information. Now, exposing his grandmaster-level erhu skills wouldn't be a problem.
"Everyone, let me play a song for you, Longing for the Spring Breeze."
The music of the erhu soon filled the air.
"Huh, it sounds even better now."
"I have the same feeling!"
"Could it be that Master Lin's skill has recently improved?"
Many people sent messages like these.
At the moment, Lin Tian was displaying his grandmaster-level erhu skills, but he still held back a bit and didn't give it his all.
Lin Tian was a top-notch erhu grandmaster.
"This—"
In the capital city, Ouyang Shun widened his eyes.
He was a top erhu master, just one step away from being a grandmaster. However, taking that step was not easy at all.
"Grandmaster, this is definitely a performance at the grandmaster level."
Ouyang Shun was extremely excited.
Although he hadn't reached the grandmaster level, with his skill level, he could now clearly judge that this was a grandmaster-level performance.
However, one piece of music might not be enough to determine if Lin Tian had reached the grandmaster level.
Ouyang Shun listened quietly.
Before long, Lin Tian played the second piece, Erquan Yingyue.
Erquan Yingyue was such a classic piece, and Ouyang Shun had played it countless times.
"Little Lin has definitely reached the grandmaster level!"
Ouyang Shun's eyes widened.
He couldn't believe it.
He didn't know Lin Tian's exact age, but he was definitely under forty. To reach the grandmaster level at such a young age was unbelievable.
*Ding ding!*
Ouyang Shun's phone rang.
It was another erhu master calling.
"Chairman, are you watching Little Lin's livestream? I feel like Little Lin's skill has reached the grandmaster level?"
"Unfortunately, it's a livestream. If it were in person, it would be even clearer."
The erhu master on the other end of the line was somewhat excited.
Ouyang Shun took a deep breath. "Your feeling is not wrong. Little Lin's skill has indeed reached the grandmaster level."
"In the future, calling him Little Lin won't be suitable anymore."
"Achievers are teachers. Perhaps it's more appropriate to call him Master Lin."
The erhu master on the other end of the line was pleasantly surprised. "Chairman, if you say so, then Little Lin must have reached the grandmaster level."
"He's been keeping it from us. It's been so hard on us."
"Chairman, what should we do? Little Lin just said this might be the last time. Will we never hear from him again in the future?"
Ouyang Shun's expression changed.
They were all in the same small group as Lin Tian, so they might still be able to hear from him. But this was a great opportunity for the promotion of erhu culture.
"Let's all try to use our connections. The internet is not a lawless place. Those who recklessly defame others for profit should be punished."
Ouyang Shun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Understood, Chairman."
Their group of erhu masters, despite their usual gentlemanly demeanor, had connections and influence. None of them were to be trifled with.
An hour passed quickly.
Lin Tian put away the erhu.
[Fan Old Naughty Boy sent a Spaceship 200]
[Fan Old Liang sent a Spaceship 100]
[Fan Ouyang Shun sent a Spaceship 10]
Countless gifts poured in.
"I can't believe it, isn't Ouyang Shun the chairman of the Erhu Association?"
"Yes, it's him. I've met Lord Ouyang before."
Many messages popped up in the barrage.
A message from Ouyang Shun floated across the screen: "Master Lin, the Erhu Association will definitely help you seek justice."
"Oh my, Master Lin?"
"Did Chairman Ouyang make a typo?"
[Fan Old Wu sent a Spaceship]
[Fan Erhu Xu Gang sent a Spaceship]
"Congratulations to Master Lin for breaking through and achieving the title of Erhu Grandmaster."
"Congratulations to Master Lin—"
The latter few Spaceships were sent by the erhu masters, and after sending them, each of them posted congratulatory messages.
"Oh my, Master Lin has truly become a Grandmaster."
"Wow, Master Lin has become a Grandmaster. He's the only Erhu Grandmaster."
"No wonder it sounded even better. I almost cried just now."
Countless messages flooded the screen.
Many people who studied the erhu and loved it were overjoyed. With one more Grandmaster of the erhu, its influence would increase significantly.
*Ding!*
Lin Tian started playing the guqin.
While he had demonstrated Grandmaster-level erhu skills, he hadn't shown his skills on the guqin yet, as there was already a Grandmaster of the guqin.
Unknowingly, another hour passed.
"Everyone, thank you for the gifts."
"All the gifts today, I'll have Huayin donate them all on my behalf, to children's welfare homes in the central and western regions."
"Depending on the size of the welfare homes, donations will range from thirty thousand to a hundred thousand yuan."
Lin Tian smiled faintly.
Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, countless viewers watching the livestream were stunned. Lin Tian had received more gifts in this livestream than ever before.
It exceeded twenty million.
Some wealthy fans sent a lot, while ordinary people also sent generous amounts.
"Master Lin, are you sure about this?"
A super moderator in the livestream asked through a barrage message.
"Sure."
Lin Tian nodded and stood up, clasping his hands together. "Everyone, thank you for your support. Let's meet again if fate allows."
After saying that, Lin Tian ended the livestream.
"Oh no, Master Lin really doesn't plan to livestream anymore?"
"He donated so much money directly. If Sweet Bunny really is Master Lin's ex-girlfriend, would Master Lin hesitate to even spare a hundred thousand?"
"She must go to jail for scamming over a million!"
Lin Tian ended the livestream, and the screen went black, but many people didn't leave immediately. The barrage of messages and gifts continued to fly in the livestream.
"How did this happen?"
Sweet Bunny was dumbfounded.
Lin Tian's livestream lasted for two hours, during which time she lost more than half of her fans, and the number of fans continued to decrease at an alarming rate.
"Well, whatever. Fans come and go."
"After all, I've earned over five hundred thousand. I should be able to earn more in the future."
Sweet Bunny's real name was Luo Ziqing. She looked at her bank balance and smiled. She had received over a million in gifts, but she could only withdraw so much.
She had already cashed out this money.
