Chapter 746: Chapter 374: What a Grand Program

At first, no one in the stream paid much attention to the gifts.

After all, Kuaishou had already dropped 1,000 Carnivals. The Carnivals these people were sending were nothing in comparison.

But when everyone saw the names of the donors, they lost their cool.

Coastal City’s Qiuyue Restaurant gifted Carnival x2!

Coastal City’s Sanhutong Roasted Duck Restaurant gifted a Carnival!

Coastal City’s Feipu Hotel gifted Carnival x30!

Coastal City’s Siye Karaoke gifted Carnival x5!

Sister Wang’s Noodle Shop at 23 Xiliu Street, Coastal City, gifted a Carnival!

Coastal City...

Coastal City...

All the donors had "Coastal City" in their names. They were all various shops, hotels, and entertainment venues...

The gifts ranged from a single Carnival to more than 30.

From their names, it was clear these people were all beneficiaries of Jinglan City’s success.

After all, with an endless stream of tourists coming to Jinglan City in the future, the benefits they would reap would also be endless.

The gift notifications showed no signs of stopping, constantly flashing and scrolling by.

This also caused the number of viewers to increase rapidly, soon soaring past three million.

Truly, for everyone watching, this unending stream of Carnivals was a spectacle. Which streamer’s channel could ever achieve something like this?

"I’ve never seen such a gifting bonanza!"

"This is insane. Only Chen Jincheng could pull something like this off."

"You can tell these people are genuinely gifting Chen Jincheng."

"Chen Jincheng is truly a one-of-a-kind influencer."

"..."

Someone even did a rough calculation and estimated that no fewer than several thousand businesses had sent gifts.

That meant there were at least several thousand Carnivals.

Looking at the real-time "Sound Waves," everyone noticed that the total generated in Chen Jincheng’s stream had already reached 350 million.

In other words, the total value of the gifts had reached 35 million.

It was truly shocking to see thousands of businesses sending gifts in unison, as if they had all planned it.

And the most shocking part was that Chen Jincheng hadn’t even appeared on screen yet.

Raking in 35 million in gifts before even showing his face on a livestream—who else on the entire internet could do that?

But soon, a new development in the stream let everyone know they had been shocked too early.

An even more astounding scene was about to unfold.

Another gift notification scrolled across the screen:

"Coastal City’s Feiyu Technology congratulates Jinglan City on its opening and gifts Carnival x200!"

The appearance of 200 Carnivals immediately caught everyone’s attention.

This was far more impressive than any of the previous gifts.

It didn’t take long for people to realize Feiyu Technology’s motive. They were here to advertise.

With over three million viewers in Chen Jincheng’s stream and the number still growing, 200 Carnivals was enough to land them the number two spot on the top-fan list. It was excellent advertising.

Over at Feiyu Technology, the person in charge smiled as he saw their name in the number two spot.

It was indeed great advertising, but more importantly, Mr. Wu was also in Jinglan City. He might even be watching Chen Jincheng’s stream right now, and he was the official in charge of Coastal City’s economy.

So, this was a chance to make an impression.

But he didn’t get to be happy for long. Suddenly, another gift notification scrolled by: "Coastal City Red Elephant Convenience congratulates Jinglan City on its opening and gifts Carnival x201!"

"???"

The manager at Feiyu Technology was completely floored.

’How long was I up there before I got knocked down? And what’s the deal with them gifting just one more Carnival than me?’

He realized they must have had the same idea as him.

A moment later, he saw another gift scroll past: "He Yue Limited Company of Coastal City congratulates Jinglan City on its opening and gifts Carnival x210!"

Clearly, many others had the same idea.

While the Feiyu Technology manager was still in a daze, another gift notification appeared: "Coastal City’s Radiant Square congratulates Jinglan City on its opening and gifts Carnival x500!"

Now that was a big spender.

But it wasn’t surprising, seeing as Radiant Square itself had blown up because of Chen Jincheng, becoming a famous influencer check-in spot in Coastal City. Gifting 500 Carnivals was understandable.

The viewers in the stream felt like they were watching an even grander Carnival feast unfold.

After that, even companies from other cities started showing up to make an appearance.

With this flood of gifts, Chen Jincheng’s stream quickly broke five million concurrent viewers.

The stream had reached a concurrent viewer count that would terrify the entire internet.

What shocked everyone was that even with the viewer count reaching such a level, Chen Jincheng still hadn’t shown his face.

This was an absolute first in the history of livestreaming.

Over five million people were waiting for Chen Jincheng to start his stream. No one else had this kind of clout.

Furthermore, everyone noticed that on the fan contribution leaderboard in Chen Jincheng’s stream, every single person in the top 100 had gifted over 100 Carnivals.

When the other influencers who had dropped in to see the commotion saw this, they were so jealous their eyes could have bled.

Seriously, they would stream for half a day, begging just to get a single Carnival.

For him, Carnivals were being thrown around like they were nothing, as if they were free.

Chen Jincheng, of course, also saw that his viewership had surpassed five million.

Although he was still a ways off from the future record set by Dong Yuhui, this was the limit for the current era. After all, Tiao Yin hadn’t beaten Kuaishou yet. Compared to the Tiao Yin of the future, its daily active users were less than half.

The growth in concurrent viewers had slowed down significantly. ’But I still have an ace up my sleeve,’ he thought. ’I’m confident I can break Dong Yuhui’s record today.’

Just as the viewer count hit this number, Sister Hong suddenly shouted, "My King, the treasure presented by Master Lei has been activated! It seems to be able to connect to a Different Space-Time, allowing the people on the other side to see us here."
