Chapter 3
The Surging Number of Viewers
“F*ck, is this for real?”
“Streamer, be honest. Are you unable to keep going anymore and decided to use special effects?”
“User: Azure Dragon gifted the streamer an airplane!”
“Streamer, what’s going on? How did you do it?”
“User: The Little Police Belle of Hibiscus City gifted the streamer an airplane!”
“The streamer is a martial arts master?”
“Previous commenter, are you stupid? Instead of being a martial arts master, he came to be a small streamer?”
“Special effects, it must be special effects!”
“I’m not afraid of asking questions. Can livestreams have special effects?”
“I suggest you take a look at a young man from a foreign country. He’s using terrifying special effects to scare the other party in a livestream battle. He’s very popular overseas!”
“Maybe it’s a pre-recorded special effect?”
“I say, is it possible that it’s not a special effect but a prop???”
“…”
The number of bullet comments in the livestream was soaring!
Su Yun’s performance just now was too exaggerated and unbelievable. Even he could not react, let alone these netizens who had been watching.
At this moment, almost no one dared to believe everything in front of them.
That was a poker card. They could all see clearly that Su Yun was not holding a newly bought poker card, but a particularly soft one.
Under such circumstances, not to mention using cards to fly into the wooden stake, even cutting the cucumber was extremely difficult.
But what about Su Yun?
He actually did it all in one go.
This was not something a normal human could do!
“It actually succeeded…”
Su Yun suddenly came back to his senses, but he suddenly realized that he had already retreated from that mysterious feeling.
He did not care about the situation on the bullet screen. Instead, he closed his eyes and tried to find that feeling again.
However, he had gained nothing this time. That unique feeling of enlightenment seemed to have completely disappeared after he felt joy.
“What happened just now? Why did I suddenly enter a special state?”
Su Yun was at a loss. He opened his eyes regretfully and could not help but feel a little disappointed.
His intuition told him that once he missed that state just now, it would be very difficult to enter it again. He did not know when he would be able to comprehend it again in the future.
Moreover, he did not know what was going on or why it was like this.
Could it be his cheat after being reborn?
Su Yun could not help but let his imagination run wild.
Still.
It was a blessing in disguise.
Although he could no longer find his previous state, the sudden increase in the number of people in the livestream still surprised Su Yun.
‘What’s the situation?’
Su Yun picked up his phone. Only then did he realize how shocking his actions were to others.
A total of 10 people gifted a plane!
On the Sharkfight platform he was using, the price of an airplane was 100 yuan. Ten of them would be 1,000 yuan. Even if he split it 50-50 with the platform, Su Yun would still get 500 yuan.
Moreover, the biggest use of the plane was not the money, but to increase exposure!
Under such circumstances, Su Yun was shocked to discover that the number of viewers in his livestream room had begun to jump crazily. The number representing the number of viewers had jumped to 500, 1,000, then 2,000, then 3,000!
At this point, the growth in the number of people slowed down.
“What did the streamer do? Why are you guys so surprised?”
“Streamer, put the camera on the wooden stake and take a look. I don’t believe that a soft poker card can cut into the wooden stake!”
“That’s right. If it’s not because of special effects of the recording or the props, I’ll swallow the keyboard!”
“What’s going on? The streamer used a poker card to cut open the wooden stake?”
“I’m dying of laughter. I’ve watched it since the streamer started his livestream. I’ve been watching it for a month.”
“At first, it was difficult for him to even throw cards. Then, he suddenly became powerful. He could even use cards to cut open wooden stakes. How is this possible? It’s definitely a special effect.”
“That’s right. I’ve watched it since the streamer started. His skills at the beginning were even inferior to mine. This improvement is too exaggerated and a little fake.”
“There are a lot of special effects players in foreign livestreams. They’re all using the same trick. I understand. There will definitely be a battle with special effects later on.”
“…”
The audience who had just arrived did not know what had happened, and the old audience were even more excited.
They had witnessed Su Yun’s livestream from the beginning. They had witnessed him gradually evolve from being ignorant of card throwing to his current power. However, this was unbelievable.
What could a normal person do in a month? This amount of time was too short for a person. It was not even enough for a person to learn a skill.
Because of this, the power of Su Yun’s card was even more unbelievable.
Seeing this, Su Yun smiled and picked up his phone to walk to his usual wooden stake.
Under the camera’s display, more than half of the soft card was exposed to the air. Because it had been used for a long time, it had completely collapsed and looked like a piece of paper.
However, the other half had actually cut into the wooden stake. It was unbelievable.
Who would have thought that the card Su Yun flew out would be so powerful?
“The wooden stake is a little soft. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to cut so deep.”
Su Yun, on the other hand, had other opinions. He touched the wooden stake in front of him and could clearly feel a sense of weakness.
This was actually a type of light wood, otherwise known as balsa wood. It was the lightest and softest of all commercial wood.
If it were any other hard wood, the card would definitely not be able to cut so deep. However, according to Su Yun’s estimation, the power of his previous move should be able to cut the surface of the hardwood. It was equally powerful.
“I’ll be frank. This streamer must be playing with special effects or props.”
At this moment, a person on the bullet screen attracted Su Yun’s attention.
“First of all, I’m a digital media art major at Imperial Capital University. I’m very proficient in special effects. Secondly, my friend is a biology major. I asked him for his opinion just now. Guess what? My friend said it’s impossible.”
“Why do you say it’s impossible? The reason is very simple. Let me give you a few examples. You should understand.”
“As everyone knows, ants can lift objects hundreds of times larger than themselves, but can elephants? The answer is no. Creatures like elephants and giraffes can lift between 0.1 and 0.5 times their own weight.”
“This is because the strength of the bones and muscles increases by area (second square on the scale), while the body weight increases by volume (third square on the scale). So do you know what the streamer’s behavior represents?”
“That’s right. He’s exceeded the limits of creatures like ‘humans.'”
“It’s easy to understand if you just use cards to cut cucumbers and watermelons. Whether it’s cucumbers or watermelons, their skins are very fragile. However, wooden stakes are completely different. Their density is too high, and the paper is too fragile. No matter what, this doesn’t conform to human mechanics.”
“Furthermore, I’ve saved the streamer’s video just now. I discovered an interesting point. The moment the streamer threw the card, the card became very blurry.”
“When you slow down the video frame by frame, it’s not difficult to notice that the entire scene of the card spinning in the air was almost blurry. In the middle, a few frames disappeared into thin air. I’m sure everyone knows what this means, right? That’s right, the streamer is an expert in special effects.”
“This kind of editing method is known in professional jargon as follow-through + fade in/ fade out. I hope everyone will believe in science. I highly suspect that the streamer inserted special effects that were recorded in advance during the livestream.”
“It’s actually not difficult to use special effects in a livestream. Everyone, don’t be surprised. There are too many livestreams nowadays. There are all kinds of livestreams. There are also many people who use special effects to livestream. For example, the very popular foreign special effects not long ago. They are all the same principle. They were also completed during the livestream.”
“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility of props, but I don’t understand this.”
This netizen with the ID ‘Big Uncle’ stirred up a tempo and made the others understand.
“No wonder it looked so strange. So that’s how it is.”
“The uncultured one can only say, ‘F*ck!'”
“I can basically understand what you said above. In fact, the physical strength of animals is determined by the nature of muscles and the principle of leverage. The physical strength of animals is also a process of overcoming resistance and using the principle of leverage to produce strength. However, this kind of leverage is a laborious lever, which means that the resistance arm is greater than the power arm.”
“As we all know, the force × force arm = resistance × resistance arm. This means that for every doubling of muscle contraction, the force generated at the front end of the resistance arm (on the palm of the hand), that is, the power released is not doubled, but halved.”
“From the looks of it, you should know how much strength the streamer has to use to cut the poker card into the wooden stake, right? Therefore, fundamentally, this is impossible.”
“Smooth, the two big shots are awesome!”
“Is this something a loser can watch?”
“I can understand every word, but I can’t understand them when I connect them. However, I can roughly understand the meaning. It’s impossible for the streamer to do this, right?”
“Yes, that’s it.”
