Chapter 98 Criticizing the Gossip Radio Station
Tao Tao's face clearly darkened! Radio host, if you can't speak properly, just shut up!
[Not only are they greasy, but they also stir up trouble by comparing and belittling others. They're really going all out!]
[Hilarious! They thought they were being funny, but they actually hit the nail on the head. Yuejie's smile faded, Ruantang's face froze, Taotao was about to cry, and Huazai's expression was indescribable...]
"Cherish this blessing..." Just listen to that paternalistic tone of the headmaster! Unbelievable!
[Is this what you call praising someone? This is called precisely offending all the female guests! The first person to do the opposite!]
[Yueyue gave him such an easy question to win his favor, and the fact that he handled it so well is a skill in itself.]
When Shu Hua started making a bit of an exaggerated show on the talk show, she was already frowning. Later, she felt that her eyes and ears were suffering from occupational injuries.
This guy was just average and kind of simple-minded in the last game.
Why did things suddenly change like this?
Moreover, why is there such a double standard? Why does the tone change when it comes to the female lead?
Could it be that, because she's the female lead, this gossip radio station is actually a villain that needs to be exposed by the female lead?
But... Shu Hua glanced at Tao Zhi Mo, whose complexion wasn't very good.
Is this a slap in the face?
It doesn't look like it at all.
Never mind, it's the female lead's business if she gets her comeuppance.
She should first seek justice for her suffering eyes and ears.
Shu Hua raised her hand and interrupted, "Hey, this is a gossip radio station. Yueyue's question is for you to compliment a few beautiful women."
What you just said was exaggerated, formulaic, and perfunctory. You weren't even praising Tao Tao at all.
I have determined that your answer does not meet the requirements, so I am going to change the punishment imposed by the Bureau this time.
It's still the truth, but I'll ask and you answer.
Since you're praising a beautiful woman, you might be a bit inexperienced and not know how to respond.
Then please give an objective evaluation of Soda and your own appearance.
This time I won't force you to deliberately flatter or praise, but every word you say must come from the bottom of your heart.
If your answer this time is still overly exaggerated and half-hearted, then you're just not serious.
The smooth smile that had been on the radio host's face instantly froze. The deliberately feigned honesty, affability, and humor shattered abruptly, replaced by a look of unprepared astonishment, as well as the embarrassment and shame of being exposed in public and facing such an awkward situation.
He never expected that the comment section of the live broadcast room would be full of negative comments, with the opinion overwhelmingly negative. He also never expected that Shu Hua would act so decisively and directly, confirming in front of everyone that his answer was unqualified, and without saying a word, she overturned the original punishment and changed the rules to target him!
A surge of panic welled up inside him, and he instinctively rushed to explain, his voice suddenly rising several decibels, his tone full of urgent rebuttal: "Eh? No, Ms. Shu Hua, how... how is this not in line with the requirements?"
I praised her sincerely! Wasn't my praise genuine enough?
Sister Yue is elegant and graceful, Soft Candy is sweet and lively, you are like a fairy who has fallen to earth, and Sister Tao Tao is innocent, cute, well-behaved and blessed... What I'm saying is all the truth from the bottom of my heart!
Everyone has their own style, and this is always how I speak.
Maybe...maybe it's just that my sense of humor is a bit too strong, and people just didn't get my point right yet?
Faced with the gossip radio station's flustered and far-fetched explanations, Shu Hua's expression remained calm and composed, without the slightest ripple. She even nodded calmly, her tone flat and unwavering: "Indeed, I didn't get your humor. Maybe it's just a difference in logical thinking."
However, that's not important.
After all, the rules are in my hands now.
I've determined that you don't meet the requirements, and that's it.
Of course, you can appeal if you disagree, but it seems there's not much to appeal to.
If you really insist, you can also try to get away with it.
At most, I'll just be told I can't take a joke; it's not a big deal.
So now you think my judgment is flawed and you're not convinced, right?
Then I won't bother with you anymore. We still have to play the game, there are so many people watching.
Next up is little Tao Tao...
"Hey, wait, wait! Sister Shuhua, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking yet."
Young man, don't be so impatient. Everything can be discussed.
The gossip radio station quickly intervened, their tone softening instantly. In all their years of broadcasting, they had never encountered someone as unyielding, decisive, and ruthless as Shu Hua.
If it were any other streamer, upon encountering his deliberate excuses and attempts to shirk responsibility, they would likely argue and wrestle with him, going back and forth for a long time before finally letting it all go, and the whole process would be muddled through.
He had used this method countless times before, and it never failed him.
Either his opponent gets so angry that they don't bother with further punishment and generously let him go, saying a few polite words to end the matter gracefully.
After all, it's just an entertainment event, and there's no need to publicly tear each other apart or make things too ugly. This is a tacit understanding among streamers in the industry.
But Shu Hua completely defied expectations. She seemed to let go of the original punishment, but every word she said subtly labeled him as a sore loser and a cheater, which only made him more passive and embarrassed.
In particular, Shu Hua remained calm throughout, showing no fear of confronting him directly and completely disregarding public opinion in the live stream. She was unyielding and impossible to reason with.
This left the usually cunning gossip radio station completely at a loss for what to do, and they could only hastily call out to stop him from skipping over his painting.
He has a weak fan base and hardly any die-hard fans. He relies on casual viewers who enjoy watching the spectacle to maintain his popularity, which is how he barely managed to squeeze into the ranks of mid-level streamers.
If you add a label that says he can't afford to play, he'll only be able to fight in the jungle from now on. How much money can you make fighting in the jungle anyway?
Upon hearing this, Shu Hua frowned slightly, her expression showing a hint of impatience. "Well, that's just how impatient I am, and I'm very proactive."
Also, we're not close, so don't call me "sister" or "little sister".
Furthermore, if you want to lecture me, you should send a gift to my top supporter first.
If you don't have the ability, don't always dream of being a father; you're not qualified.
A cold and blunt remark, like a crisp and loud slap, landed hard on the face of the gossip radio station, and the burning embarrassment instantly spread throughout their bodies.
He was the least popular and least experienced of the six streamers, barely managing to stay afloat by doing silly things.
At this moment, Shu Hua's undisguised and bluntly contemptuous words completely shattered his facade of dignity, and the forced smile on his face instantly collapsed, unable to hold on any longer.
A surge of suppressed anger suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart, a mixture of shame, resentment, and rage that nearly caused him to lose his composure.
"you……!"
He subconsciously clenched his teeth, wanting to raise his voice and retort sharply, even planning to use his seniority in the industry to put the other party in the spotlight with his "senior status" and "well-intentioned advice".
But his remaining rationality eventually pulled him back. He knew that if he rashly confronted her head-on, he would only be killed on the spot by Shu Hua and end up in an even more miserable state.
However, he knew very little about Shu Hua and couldn't find a suitable point of attack to refute her in a short time, leaving him speechless.
Yes! Find her weakness! A thought flashed through my mind—for a streamer like this who relies on big spenders, being number one on the leaderboard is her source of confidence!
Just now, Shu Hua deliberately compared him with his own number one fan, which is enough to show that the number one fan is very important. As long as we seize on this point, we may be able to turn the tide.
With the intention of turning the tide and taking this opportunity to regain lost ground, the chat radio host quickly swiped the screen and opened the contribution leaderboard for Shu Hua's live stream.
His gaze was anxious and urgent as he stared intently at the top of the list, locking onto the eye-catching ID that was pinned to the top in gold, symbolizing the top strength and absolute authority of the entire site—"HuaziDaddy".
With just a fleeting glance, he felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, instantly chilling him to the bone. All his arrogance and anger vanished, leaving him completely speechless.
All the sophistry, questions, and harsh words that had already reached his throat were forcibly stuck in his throat, and he dared not utter a single word.
Next to that ID, there was a prominent icon indicating that it was the highest level on the entire Music Platform!
A max-level account is more than just having money.
This level of top-tier tycoon is someone that a mid-level streamer like him could never afford to offend. Even the entire guild he's signed with would immediately apologize and try their best to avoid any suspicion if they found out they'd offended him, and wouldn't dare to provoke him in the slightest.
Thoughts raced through his mind as he recalled all his words and actions directed at Shu Hua, as well as his subtle provocative intentions. A fine layer of cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, and he was filled with endless fear and apprehension.
[Hahahaha! The radio host's face turned green!]
[Serves you right for being so pretentious! You've got a screw loose! You've kicked a titanium alloy plate, haven't you!]
[He was just acting like a father to Tao Tao, and now he's even trying to teach Hua Zai a lesson. Hua Zai isn't as well-behaved as Tao Tao.]
[Drawer: I think I hear a cricket chirping at me.]
Look at the radio host's expression! From liver-colored to deathly pale! It's hilarious!
[Drawer: Want to be my dad? First, see if my number one supporter will allow it!]
[Hahahaha, Huazai: Being a dad takes skill!]
[Radio Host: I'm sorry to bother you, it was presumptuous of me!]
[The radio host's silence was deafening! Hahaha!]
[The radio host definitely checked the charts just now!]
[Then I was blinded by the sheer number of max-level accounts!]
Absolutely!
Amidst the scrolling barrage of sarcastic comments and endless bursts of laughter, the gossip radio host's lips trembled uncontrollably, hesitating several times before finally managing to force a stiff smile, a bitter, twisted, and strained laugh that was more painful than crying, his eyes darting around nervously.
"Heh...hehe...Shu Hua is right, absolutely right...I was too impulsive and didn't think things through. Um...it's just a comment on appearance, I'll answer, I'll definitely be honest and give a sincere answer from the bottom of my heart..."
At this moment, he completely deflated, all his arrogance vanished, and he no longer had the slightest thought of joking around or trying to outdo others.
His previous attempt at praising others backfired, leaving him in an embarrassing situation, and now he's really hit a brick wall.
He had it all figured out: if he obediently bowed his head and admitted defeat, at most his fans would criticize and tease him for a few days, and once the hype died down, he could laugh it off and move on.
However, if they insist on fighting to the end, not to mention that the fans of the female streamers will gang up on them, just the top-ranked player on the max-level leaderboard, Shu Huajia, could be quietly blacklisted and have his life cut off at any time if he just makes a slight move and sends a message to the guild.
Having been in the live streaming industry for so long, Gossip Radio has always been well-versed in the rules of survival, always able to bend and stretch, and knows how to assess the situation and humble itself.
Seeing that the gossip radio station had backed down, Shu Hua felt that she had achieved her goal. As for commenting on appearance and such...
However, this was something Shu Hua had just found. Although this gossip radio station owner had an ordinary appearance, he was actually very concerned about his looks.
They might use what they think are funny remarks to criticize handsome male streamers, but their words are always meant to belittle them.
Therefore, Shu Hua wanted the gossip radio station to evaluate her and Soda's appearance.
The original intention was to expose the weaknesses of the gossip radio station and make him restrain himself.
But now, there's no need for that anymore; the other side has already backed down.
Shu Hua was worried that if this person said something cheesy again, her ears would suffer again.
Shu Hua spoke calmly, "Alright, the process has taken about the right amount of time, so there's no need to answer anymore."
Anyway, there's only one minute left, and I can't think of a suitable punishment.
Let's mute our microphones now.
The other anchors present all agreed without objection.
Moonlight gently murmured as she replied, "Alright, let's mute then."
In the previous second game, the score difference between the second, third, fourth and fifth place rankings was already very small and extremely close.
With only one minute left in the sprint, each fan had a chance to steal towers, climb the ranks, and widen the gap, which secretly pleased them.
As soon as the words "Moonlight Embraces the Heart" were spoken, everyone immediately and tacitly turned off their microphones and devoted themselves to the live stream, directing their fans to vote, increase scores, and stabilize the ratings.
This time, Shu Hua didn't lie down directly, but seemed to be discussing something with someone, "I just discovered something."
Surprisingly, none of the top ten spots on the chart were filled in seconds.
Wouldn't that allow us to score a lot more points?
"I was thinking of using this to make up for my overall ranking score, and it's perfect for me. It's even better than grinding the overall ranking!"
[Daddy: Okay.]
[Life is but a dream: Hua Zai is clever!]
[Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes: You're the host, I'll listen to you.]
[Black Cleaver Shard: Okay.]
【？？？？？？？？？？】
[Seriously, sir? Immortal Lord, you just summoned 100,000 heavenly soldiers, and now you're going to activate Infinite Power Mode???]
[No limit on instantly ranking at number ten? You finally discovered this bug, Huazai?!]
Good heavens! The master painter is about to activate Cyber Money Printing Machine 2.0 mode!
"Okay," "Sure," "Whatever you say"... Doesn't this tone from these guys sound like they're saying, "It's just a small amount of money, spend it however you want?"
