Chapter 294: – Livestream
After playing a couple of games, the popularity of the live stream peaked, and it was now three in the afternoon.
"I'm tired." Lin Jin sighed, switched over to the livestream, glanced at the sparse comments in chat, and then suggestet, "We've been on Dota for a while now and I've hit 3000, yeah. So how about we play a single player game for two hours and chill a bit?"
At this time, there were about two to three hundred real viewers watching the stream. Once Lin Jin interacted with the chat, it started to get lively.
Most of them agreed with Lin Jin's idea, but a few insisted on watching more Dota while a few sporatic comments were, "The skinny guy on the side has been watching all day."
Lin Jin glanced at Xia Tian beside him. Xia Tian seemed emotionless at times like these. He was always stone faced, unchanging even when someone in the chat attacked him personally or went after Lin Jin. At most, he'd just move a finger to mute them, but his expression would still be cold.
"Why don't you play for a bit?" Lin Jin tentatively asked Xia Tian.
Really, Xia Tian had been watching for hours. He didn’t feel awkward but Lin Jin felt awkward for him.
"Play what? I don't know how to play Dota." Xia Tian looked up, casually adjusted his sitting position, then suggested, "How about Fight the Landlord?"
"Sure." Lin Jin nodded. Playing the Fight the Landlord card game all the time might dissatisfy the audience, but having Xia Tian play a few rounds for fun still seemed alright. The viewers probably wouldn't mind.
Lin Jin took the initiative to give up his seat and move out of the way, watching as Xia Tian sat in the seat where he was earlier. ]Lin Jin stretched and yawned, then grabbed Xia Tian's tablet. Curling his legs up and huddling up on the chair, he then placed the tablet on his lap and went to see if the audience had any complaints with Xia Tian playing.
Hmm, no issues in the chat so far, and the viewer count looked fine.
Although the stream had only been live for a few hours today, maybe it was because of the unintentional promotion from the A Site article, the viewer count was already over a thousand. While that wasn’t very high, not many people streamed Dota on this platform. So if someone interested in Dota went to the Dota section, Lin Jin’s stream would be pretty prominent.
Maybe he should thank the person who wrote that article?
Lin Jin was only mentioned a bit in the article, but the publicity was still quite good.
"How about I switch to women’s clothes?" Lin Jin asked the camera, addressing the viewers, "How's that? I don’t have any cosplay or sailor outfits, but I look quite good in women’s clothing."
The chat quickly filled with agreement and teasing. Lin Jin nodded, walked to the bed, picked up the neatly folded women's clothes from the nearby table, and walked into the bathroom.
Today's outfit was just a normal one. If he didn’t wear a wig, the viewers probably wouldn’t even recognize it as women's clothes.
After putting on his usual long, black straight wig and the plain clothes, Lin Jin checked his appearance with the mirror on the balcony. He thought he looked handsome enough that he would look good in anything.
Well, except for those outfits that required a bit of cleavage to work. Lin Jin had none so he couldn’t hold those up at all.
"I’m done changing." Lin Jin was now dressed in all black. The top a coat gifted by Chen Xinya and the tight pants bought with the teacher long ago, all paired with his long, black straight hair. If Lin Jin put on a stoic face like Xia Tian, he could probably pass for a cold beauty.
"En." Xia Tian turned and glanced at Lin Jin as he walked in from the balcony. Since he had seen Lin Jin in prettier clothes, his face still showed no emotions. He just nodded and then seriously said to the viewers "Your crossdressing streamer has changed into women's clothes and is ready to dance for you."
"Dance?" Lin Jin stood behind Xia Tian. He peeked at Xia Tian’s Fight the Landlord skills and discovered that Xia Tian had actually won over ten thousand Happy Bean points while he was changing.
"Yeah, I just told them you'd dance for them after changing" Xia Tian said matter of factly. "As a streamer, I think you should be versatile and good at everything. So dancing and stuff should definitely not be a problem for you."
Lin Jin’s face darkened.
Although he had danced before, he was on an arcade dance machine and he was following the characters on the screen, okay?!
Lin Jin had never actually learned to dance. Even though his yoga proficiency made him as flexible as those who danced regularly, the point was he had never learned dancing, okay?!
"I’ve already told the audience you'd dance." Xia Tian seemed to enjoy the chaos but his face still kept his icy expression. "If you're not going to dance, then just tell them."
Lin Jin sighed, went beside Xia Tian, raised his foot and kicked him. Xia Tian cooperated by standing up from the chair and pretending to be kicked aside.
"Viewers." Lin Jin took a deep breath and his dark expression brightened "This streamer will definitely do anything that was promised, even if I wasn't the one who promised."
"So, I’m going to find a dance video to follow. If you think my dancing is bad, then send some gifts. If you think I dance well, send more. Alright, that’s settled."
Despite sounding relaxed, Lin Jin actually had no confidence at all. He secretly pinched Xia Tian's thigh hard enough to make him flinch in pain while he kept a smile on his face and searched online for simple dance videos.
"Why does the iceberg beside the streamer look like he’s suddenly about to cry?"
Xia Tian glanced at the chat, turned his head to rub his face that involuntarily twisted in pain, then resumed his stoic expression and replied to the chat: "Because the streamer secretly did something despicable to me."
Dance videos were easy to find online. Even though Lin Jin required the dance to be simple, he still found plenty of simple dance videos available.
"Hmm, this Little Apple square dance looks good, what do you all think?" Lin Jin opened the square dance video, chuckling to the audience, "It’s simple, has a lot of movement, is good exercise, and is friendly to beginners like me."
Of course, despite saying so, Lin Jin wasn’t about to actually do a square dance. After searching online, he finally settled on a dance by the Korean girl group Girls' Generation.
"This one’s good, right?"
This girl group's dance could be counted as simple and could also be counted as hard. But Lin Jin was still confident! Yep.
Then, after dancing, Lin Jin nearly collapsed on the floor.
