Chapter 11 Sliced Explosion
The three exchanged glances, and without the slightest hesitation, they all expressed their opinions:
"Brother Chen, we're willing to work with you. We can learn editing; we'll get the hang of it with practice."
"Yeah, whatever you do, we'll follow you. It's better than messing around on your own."
"Exactly, we're very grateful that you remembered us, and we'll definitely work hard."
Seeing the sincerity in his three brothers' faces, Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart, and spoke firmly:
"Okay! Since everyone is willing, I'll register a studio. We're brothers, so let's keep things clear. When we sign the contract, we'll clearly write down our respective roles, salaries, and profit sharing, so that no one is wronged."
Let's work hard from now on. When we grow bigger, we can establish a club and start a company, and you'll all be founding shareholders!
He paused, then added, "Let me be clear from the start, I can't guarantee that we'll definitely make it big and successful. If it doesn't work out in the end, don't blame me, brothers. We'll still be good brothers, and I'll still help you out if anything happens in the future."
"Brother Chen, what are you saying!"
"That's right, we believe in you and will follow you. Even if it doesn't work out, we won't regret it!"
"Godfather, say no more, we'll do as you say."
With everything out in the open, there were no more barriers between them. They all raised their teacups and clinked them together. The rising steam reflected the passion and tacit understanding among the young people.
After dinner, Lin Chen took the three of them to get a foot massage to relax after the live stream and gaming.
Lying in bed, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh, "What kind of life did we live before? We ate instant noodles every day, and even the occasional treat was a struggle. Now we can get a foot massage at a place like this and eat a feast whenever we want. It's all thanks to Brother Chen!"
Zhao Peng and Li Ang chimed in, "Yeah, we never even dared to dream of this before. Following Brother Chen, things will definitely get better and better!"
Lin Chen smiled and waved his hand: "This is not my achievement alone, it is the result of our joint efforts. Let's work hard together in the future, and things will only get better and better."
After relaxing, the group returned to their dormitory.
As soon as he sat down, Lin Chen turned on his computer: "Now we need to strike while the iron is hot. I'll edit out the highlights from today's live stream replay and post them on Douyin and Kuaishou to gain more followers and expand our influence."
He opened the live stream replay and quickly filtered for memorable moments:
"Possessing Yang Qijia, 1v3 annihilation of the two Demon Kings, fighting against Commander Bai Ze, instantly killing through smoke, clearing the map in eight minutes, and the last three-minute solo map clear—all of these need to be edited out and posted separately. Make the titles more attractive so that more people can see our strength."
Wang Hao leaned over, helping to filter the clips as he looked: "Right! Also, the part where you and Commander Bai Ze exchanged gifts, and Bai Ze poached you, we have to include that too, it'll definitely get high viewership!"
Lin Chen nodded, his fingers flying across the editing software, cutting out clips, adding subtitles, adding exciting background music, and adding eye-catching titles. He handled every detail with great care.
As for Zhao Peng and Li Ang, they were also following behind and learning. They would have to do these things in the future, with Lin Chen guiding them from the front.
At the same time, he opened his Douyin and Kuaishou accounts, changed his original nickname to: 【Dust and Smoke (Delta Operation)】, and changed his profile picture to a selfie and a photo of Wei Long, which was obviously photoshopped, simple yet recognizable.
During the editing process, the three roommates were not idle either. Some helped find background music, some helped come up with titles, and some helped check the subtitles. The four of them had a clear division of labor.
Before I knew it, it was almost late at night, and the editing of several exciting clips was finally completed.
Lin Chen watched the edited video. The footage was smooth, the pace was fast, and the music was exciting, instantly getting people's blood pumping.
He took a deep breath and clicked "Publish" in sequence, with the titles as follows:
"1v3 Destroy Yang Qiji + Double Demon King Protection!"
"Instantly Destroying Commander Bai Ze Through Smoke! Who Wouldn't Be Baffled by This Move?"
Delta Demon King General! Cleared the map in eight minutes, not even breaking his armor!
"A Three-Minute Clear of Three Spots! Even Liu Tao was stunned!"
After finishing the presentation, Lin Chen leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
The four of them worked until late at night, edited the video, packed their things, and then went to bed and fell into a deep sleep. No one noticed the occasional message notifications popping up on their phone screens.
In the dead of night, while they were fast asleep, several clips of Lin Chen's live stream quietly stirred up waves in the Delta player community.
First, the Douyin algorithm pushed the clips of "instantly killing Bai Ze through the smoke" and "clearing the picture in three minutes" to all Delta-related users.
Immediately afterwards, fans forwarded the clip to gaming communities and forums, and within just a few hours, the number of views skyrocketed, with the comment section filled with amazement and praise.
What's even more surprising is that Yang Qijia and Bai Ze actually sent a video specifically for Lin Chen.
"Double Demon Kings were instantly defeated by new streamer Chenyan! I'm impressed by this move!"
The video included a clip of Lin Chen defeating him and the two Demon Kings, captioned: "A new Demon King is born in Delta Force, @Chenyan (Delta Force)".
Bai Ze captioned the post: "It's been a long time since I've encountered such a formidable opponent. @Chenyan (Delta Force) Little Smoke says you're the undisputed second-in-command of Juxing!"
The pinned comment below was posted by Xiaoxiaoyan: "Sir, I never said that!"
With two top streamers endorsing the segment, Lin Chen's clip received an extra layer of prestige, making the already popular clip go viral and attracting viewers beyond just Delta Force players.
Even many passersby were attracted by this extraordinary feat, and they searched for Lin Chen's account, followed, commented, and forwarded it. In no time, "Chen Yan" and "Delta Demon King General" became popular keywords on Douyin and Kuaishou.
The next morning, Lin Chen was awakened by the vibration of his phone.
He groggily reached for his phone, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a "99+" notification prominently displayed on the Douyin/Kuaishou icon.
"So much news?"
Lin Chen rubbed his eyes, casually tapped to open Douyin (TikTok), and the next second, the phone screen froze.
"Holy crap, the game crashed?"
Lin Chen smiled helplessly, only then realizing that yesterday's slice had probably gone viral.
He simply turned off and restarted his phone, and only after the phone restarted did he barely manage to access the Douyin/Kuaishou interface.
As soon as I opened my private messages, a flood of messages came in instantly: 999+ unread messages, all from fans.
"Brother Chen is amazing!"
"I need a formulaic tutorial on stance setting!"
"When will it be streamed live? I'll be waiting!"
"Please carry me! I want to be a mouse too!"
Lin Chen quickly scrolled through the names and suddenly saw two particularly eye-catching private messages, with the names "Yang Qijia of Qijia Esports" and "Bai Ze of Juxing Media" respectively.
Lin Chen looked at the two private messages and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Yang Qijia and Bai Ze had a good relationship in private. In the Delta's broadcasting circle, it's never about working alone. It's about sharing resources and sticking together to make the pie bigger.
In its previous life, Delta's live streaming market grew many times over by collaborating with various streamers and organizing competitions.
The Delta's traffic in this life is over 100 million, which is undoubtedly the best opportunity for him who is just starting out. With the endorsement and collaboration of two top streamers, he can quickly expand his popularity, get rid of the "newbie anchor" label, and gain a foothold.
Without hesitation, Lin Chen replied to both of them.
After replying to the two private messages, Lin Chen finally had the chance to check his video data, and what he saw surprised even himself.
Several clips have already garnered over a million views:
"1v3 Destroy Yang Qijia + Double Demon Kings Protect Him!" has 186 million views, 12 likes, and 3.2 comments;
"Instantly Defeating Commander Bai Ze Through the Smoke!" has 210 million views, 15 likes, and 4.5 comments;
The video "Three-Minute Single-Three Clear Chart!" has 168 million views, 10 likes, and 2.8 comments.
His Douyin and Kuaishou accounts, 【尘烟（三角洲行动）】, saw their fan count skyrocket overnight, soaring from over 3 after yesterday's live stream to over 12, adding nearly 9 new fans, and the number continues to rise.
The comments section was filled with unanimous praise and acclaim.
Lin Chen was looking at the data when Wang Hao beside him woke up. He glanced at his phone and said, "Brother Chen, you're awake too? My phone's been lagging like crazy with all the private messages. The video you edited yesterday seems to have gone viral!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his two other roommates woke up one after another, took out their phones, and exclaimed in surprise when they saw the messages and data on Douyin and Kuaishou:
"Holy crap, Brother Chen, you've surpassed 12 followers!"
"Your video clip has surpassed one million views! Yang Ge and Bai Ze have both sent you videos!"
"We're going to be famous, Brother Chen!"
Lin Chen smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's become popular, but this is just the beginning."
"Brother Yang and Bai Ze invited me to line up together, which is a great opportunity for us to expand our influence. Also, my SIM card was overloaded yesterday, and we don't have enough computers. When we rent a place, we need to get a high-performance computer and buy two more phones, one specifically for logging into Douyin and Kuaishou and replying to messages, and one as a backup."
"No problem, Brother Chen! I'll do whatever you say!"
"Let's rent a place, get a computer, and buy a phone—we'll take care of that today!"
