Chen Xu pointed at that dartboard and asked one of the girls who looked like a shop employee, “Do you have darts in the shop?”
“Yes. I’ll go get them.” The shop employee went to the counter and brought out a box of darts.
Chen Xu took it, thanked her, and walked to the front of the phone’s camera.
“Holy moly.”
When Chen Xu looked at himself on the screen, he was startled. “Is this really me?” he wondered to himself.
He had heard that the beautifying filter in short-video-making apps was very powerful. This was the first time he was shooting one, and it was overkill.
His eyes were bigger, his face was smaller, and his skin became much fairer and smoother. Absolutely no one would be able to tell that it was him.
“No wonder all girls look pretty good in short videos. So, this is what’s happening.”
He grinned inwardly.
In this way, his previous worries all became superfluous. Even if people who knew him saw this short video, he was sure that people would not recognize that it was him.
Having appeared for a few frames on the stream, a wave of replies flooded the chat room, filling up the entire screen.
“Your fans are enthusiastic.”
Chen Xu was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected Dai Zixin to have that many fans.
In all honesty, he felt rather novel standing in front of the camera for the first time and facing that many viewers. He said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Zixin’s friend. I’m the one throwing all the things in the previous videos. It is 100% real.”
Subsequently, he saw a bunch of replies with similar content. Although the font size was small, because everyone was sending the same content, it still caught his attention.
Looking at the replies closely, they said, “Bouncy man is finally here.”
The corner of Chen Xu’s eyes twitched. He asked Dai Zixin beside him, “The hell is bouncy man?”
Dai Zixin’s eyes flickered sheepishly as she explained, “That is the nickname they’ve given you. You know, girls holding a watermelon fan are called watermelon girls, guys selling pomegranates are called pomegranate man, and you play with a bouncy ball, so, viewers will naturally call you bouncy man,” as she went on, the firmness in her speech gradually dwindled.
The girls to the side were already cackling.
What the hell was this nickname?
Chen Xu was cursing at Dai Zixin on the inside. But in front of the camera, he had to contain himself.
He had decided that he would toss the bouncy ball in his pocket into the trash can when he got back.
He dismissed the godforsaken nickname, took a dart, and got to the real business, “I heard from Zixin that some of you here are doubting the authenticity of those videos. Hence, I’ll be performing for all of you some dart throwing.”
“Let’s go over there.” Chen Xu asked Dai Zixin to bring her phone to the dartboard.
He observed for a while and settled at about three meters away from the dartboard. He hadn’t played darts before. He had more confidence at this distance, and it was convenient for shooting as well. The live stream would become unclear if the distance was too far.
At the side, Dai Zixin was holding her phone and dutifully following his movements.
“You guys tell where you want me to throw the dart, and I’ll do just that.” As Chen Xu continued, he thought he needed to be more specific and added, “But of course, there are too many of you leaving comments. So, I’ll listen to whoever that donates to the channel.”
Following his statement, he saw the screen bombarded with messages like “He’s tryna scam us…”
His face twitched slightly. He was a little tired. Live streaming wasn’t all that easy.
He was surprised by one of the replies he noticed, “We will donate if you hit the target. But what if you don’t?”
His heart shuddered, and he said, “Of course, if I can’t hit the target, I’ll have to receive some punishment. As for what it should be…”
Before Chen Xu could finish his sentence, he saw various suggestions in the chat room. As the list went on, the suggestions got more and more extreme that even had his face darkened.
“That will do!”
“You can live stream yourself eating those darts.”
“Eat a tire.”
“Live steam yourself spinning your dick like a fan.”
These viewers… they truly had rotten characters.
“If I can’t hit the target, I’ll admit that I’m a fraud,” Chen Xu said quickly before more bizarre comments could appear. Subsequently, seeing many of the replies agreeing to his suggestion, he finally felt relieved.
“Let me warm up before I begin.”
Upon finishing, Chen Xu held a dart, aimed at the red center circle, and threw the dart.
The dart hit the target, but it deviated to the edge, and jabbed right on the number “6”.
He frowned, evidently not satisfied with his performance.
This was his first time throwing a dart, and it felt very different from throwing other things. He had to hold the frontal region with three fingers. He hadn’t ever tried this posture before.
Dau Zixin had been filming him the whole time, including this moment. All in an instant, oodles of comments appeared on the screen:
“Is this a giant rollover scene?”
“LMAO, welcome, you’re now tuning in the omega rollover stream…”
The stares the few girls at the side had been directing at Chen Xu turned into weird glances.
Even Dai Zixin, who had the most confidence in Chen Xu, looked flustered. If he really did miss, her account would be done for. She was nervous.
It so happened that Chen Xu spotted Dai Zixin’s facial expression. An idea sprouted in his mind. He had been initially aiming at the red center circle, but this time, he deliberately aimed at the number “20” at the uppermost corner.
A dart hurled out and landed right on the number “20”.
He even purposely knitted his eyebrows. Looking at Dai Zixin’s miserable look, he secretly felt amused.
In the next few minutes, he took a few more shots. They became more and more outrageous, even missing the dartboard several times. Dai Zixin’s expression was getting increasingly bitter, and she looked grief-stricken in the end, “Chen Xu, maybe you should stick with the bouncy ball.”
Chen Xu was just beginning to feel bad, but hearing her mention the bouncy ball again, his sympathy flew out the window. He said deliberately, “That’s no good. We already told the viewers that we will be playing with darts, how could we change it so suddenly? Besides, I bet they wouldn’t allow it either.”
Dai Zixin’s face collapsed as she said with a downturned mouth, “I’ll go to hell with you if you screw this up.”
Chen Xu said peculiarly, “Even if I screw up, I’m the one who will be embarrassed, alright.”
Dai Zixin said frantically, “This is my account. My. Account.”
At this moment, the chat room of the live stream became even livelier:
“Another one has gone crazy…”
“Poor streamer…”
“Shocking news, beautiful streamer gone crazy because of a man who likes to play with bouncy balls…”
Feeling that the anticipation was almost there, Chen Xu coughed lightly and announced, “Alright, I’m gonna begin.”
“I’ll be first. Hit a 60.” Swiftly, people began donating.
Chen Xu was slightly taken aback. There were only numbers from one to twenty on the board, so where was 60? Upholding his principle to ask when he didn’t understand, he asked, “What area should I hit to score a 60?”
The chat room was once again filled with replies. It had turned into an ocean of joy.
Dai Zixin gave him a look and said in despair, “Don’t tell me… have you not played with darts before?”
It was the girl in the uniform that told him, “See those two round circles on the target? The outer ring is the double area. The middle ring is the triple area. The area overlapping with the number 20 will be 60 points.”
With that explained, Chen Xu hit the target right away.
