Picking Up Fragments

Xue Meimei, although it was impossible for her to put on a show and watch Jiang Siming's live stream, her own live stream did have a leaderboard. She could check the leaderboard to know how Jiang Siming was doing. After half an hour, Xue Meimei pretended to look at the leaderboard inconspicuously, but there was no sign of Jiang Siming in the top twenty.

Xue Meimei secretly chuckled, it seemed safe, Jiang Siming was just average, after half an hour, he still hadn't made it into the top twenty. But then she realized that her live stream might be buffering, and when she clicked on other interfaces, it indeed was. She quickly tapped the refresh button, and the page updated, finally revealing the true state of the leaderboard. When she looked again, she was stunned.

NO.1, [Ming] Potential Value: 75,170,048 points. "!!!!!!"

Xue Meimei's eyes widened, her expression as if she had seen Sadako, utterly terrified. What is this? This much? Tens, hundreds, thousands... ten million! Ten million potential value, which means Jiang Siming had received over 7 million gifts. And that was just in half an hour. Could this be a humanly possible achievement? And the potential value was still rising rapidly, showing no signs of stopping.

Jiang Siming's potential value data increased like a magic trick, jumping every few seconds, which was quite scary. Xue Meimei couldn't hold back anymore; she thought for sure that some big tycoon must have made their move early! Maybe it was Wang Headmaster showing support. When she clicked to see, Xue Meimei didn't see a flood of individual gifts. In Ming's live stream, gifts were indeed flying everywhere, but they weren't from one or a few people. They were from countless different IDs of fans in the live stream, and the most common weren't rockets or spaceships, but fluorescent sticks and free small gifts sent by the fans.

These gifts were all given for free, with very little potential value added, but due to their incredibly large quantity, they accounted for nearly a third of these more than 7 million potential values! The majority of the rest were just from card subscriptions, followed by planes, and even rockets, but super rockets and spacecraft were not numerous, even less than what she received in her live broadcast room. This was absolutely not due to a company or a big spender gifting, but purely from the fans sending small tokens of appreciation.

But it was these small gifts that boosted Jiang Siming's live broadcast room potential value to 70 million! Sister Xue felt her scalp tingle. She had originally been quite proud, confident that she would definitely be number one, but the reality hit her hard and made her understand what it truly meant. Only then did she realize what 2 million fan badges meant. These fans did not usually cluster to send gifts, so Jiang Siming did not have a rough estimate of the gifts he received, and other streamers were also unaware. But today was Fan Day, and the fans naturally came together to support their streamer.

These more than 2 million fan badges represented over 2 million users who had given Jiang Siming at least one card in the past. Added to this were the users who had never given gifts before but were willing to do so for Jiang Siming this time. Combined, these forces completely stunned the other streamers.

"Got to go, can't mess with this."

Sister Xue immediately logged out of Jiang Siming's live broadcast room, sighing, "This is the most intense Fan Day I've ever seen. If it comes to a real competition, I feel that even ten management companies combined couldn't match him."

The fans in Sister Xue's live broadcast room also returned dejectedly. Explore more adventures at empire

"The blow I've taken in the past half hour is worse than my college entrance exam failure."

"How can you compare? It's already 80 million, and it just increased by 10 million more."

"Let's just quietly strive for second place, then."

"Yeah, second place is pretty good."

"Right, it is pretty good." ...

Jiang Siming used half an hour to secure the first place in the PUBG division in the first round. In fact, he is not only the first in his zone; compared to the firsts in other zones, he is far ahead. The potential value of PDD, who is in the LOL zone, is only a little over 18 million, and Xuxubao in the DNF zone is a little over 25 million.

Jiang Siming's over 80 million makes them feel a lot more pressure. They originally wanted to compete for the top spot, but now they feel... being second is really great...

"Yah, this person is too scary. Brothers, although it's my first year participating in the fan festival, it seems that we will find it very difficult to compete for first place." PDD said to his fans with a wry smile, but his fans were not discouraged.

"It's okay, Old Piao, this is just the first round."

"Exactly, the showdown will be in the third round."

"We have plenty of wealthy fans in our LOL group, don't worry, we will definitely win!"

"Our fans can contribute, and you can top up a bit; first place is guaranteed!"

"Relax, with us here, Teacher Piao, you will definitely be first!" ...

Seeing the fans' reassurances, PDD regained his confidence.

"Alright, with your words, I'm ready to go all out. In the third round, I'll use all the gift income I received this year for this fan festival and fight for the first place!"

PDD has always been generous, and he doesn't hesitate when it comes to spending money. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent nearly 10 million on a single broadcast day to level up to the maximum. It's the same on Xuxubao's side, where the fans all expressed that the real battle hasn't started yet and urged him to relax.

The fan festival might as well be called a war between different zones and fans. This large-scale battle where both streamers and fans participate can easily stimulate the fans' desire to spend. After more than two hours of intense gift bombardment, Jiang Siming's live stream finally quieted down.

The pace of gift-giving has slowed down significantly, and the main group of gift-giving fans has finished their spree. Although the number is still increasing rapidly, it has already reached a peak, and there won't be much more room for further growth.

NO.1, 【Ming】 has a potential value of 110 million.

Fans have sent more than ten million gifts. It looks exaggerated, but if you calculate it, it's quite normal. Excluding the potential value increase from free gifts, even if it's only counted as twenty million. There's still 90 million in gift potential value, which is 9 million yuan in gifts.

The fan club has over two million members, and if only half of them sent gifts, each sending a card worth 6 yuan, that would be 6 million yuan. Even those who haven't sent gifts yet, just sending a few, could easily add up to three million. Plus, a single airplane or rocket gift can be worth dozens of cards, so the data isn't that exaggerated when you break it down. Winning the first round in the zone is a lock. Jiang Siming was initially taken aback by the fans' enthusiasm and took a long time to gradually adapt.

"Thank you all for the gifts; there are just too many to thank individually. At the end of today, I'll sing a new song for everyone, as it's the only way I can show my gratitude." Jiang Siming said earnestly.

In fact, when he first started streaming, he never imagined it would reach this level. At most, he hoped to become a top-tier streamer, with a few tens of thousands of viewers each day, which would have been enough for him. But the success of this job far exceeded his expectations, and it's the most fulfilling job he's had in many years.
