King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

Chapter 298 Arrival at Dehua Manor

After Dehua's live stream ended, he saw the message from Ye Lan and readily agreed.

He naturally had no reason to refuse such a mutually beneficial proposal.

Ye Lan is now a big star in the King of Glory community, with his popularity and buzz overwhelmingly surpassing others. This is not only because of his New Year's greeting show, but also because he won over the beautiful and wealthy Lin Fupo, making many players extremely envious.

It even sparked a trend online, with people saying that if you're good at gaming, you're bound to find a rich woman.

This directly boosted the popularity of Honor of Kings to an unprecedented level.

After all, who could resist a sweet and soft rich woman?

“Okay, I’m going back to Shanghai on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. I’ll give you the address then.”

"Uh-huh."

...........

The Spring Festival passed in the blink of an eye as people visited relatives and friends. Before leaving, Ye Lan bought her father a pair of knee pads and her mother a mink coat.

The two elders kept scolding Ye Lan for wasting money, but they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.

Ye Lan smiled and said it was nothing; making money would be meaningless if it weren't for giving her parents a better life.

"Little sister, I'm entrusting Mom and Dad to your care while I'm away," Ye Lan said solemnly to Ye Wanying as she stood at the door, carrying her suitcase.

Ye Wanying nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, brother. You need to take care of yourself while you're away, and of course, you also need to take good care of your sister-in-law."

"Why do you always side with your sister-in-law? I'm your own brother."

Ye Lan smiled and gently pinched Ye Wanying's soft cheeks before rushing to the airport with Lin Xueyao.

Upon arriving at the airport, Xu Zhiqiang was already waiting in the departure hall with his suitcase. As soon as he saw the two of them, he immediately ran over, his face full of a fawning smile, and offered to help Lin Xueyao carry her bag.

"Godmother, please let me do these tiring jobs from now on. Please don't overwork yourself."

The fawning smile made Ye Lan exclaim that she was on the right track.

Lin Xueyao was slightly taken aback, then reached into her pocket, expressionlessly pulled out a red envelope, and handed it to Xu Zhiqiang!

Xu Zhiqiang was also a little confused by this scene, wondering if the red envelope was for him.

"Why did you give him a red envelope?" Ye Lan asked, puzzled.

“My mother-in-law said that red envelopes are gifts from elders to younger generations. She just called me her godmother, shouldn’t I give her a red envelope?” Lin Xueyao’s clear eyes sparkled with innocent light.

Xu Zhiqiang was overjoyed; he even got a red envelope for this?

He immediately accepted the red envelope with both hands, repeatedly saying, "Wishing you prosperity and a Happy New Year."

"Godfather and Godmother have already given you red envelopes, aren't you going to do something in return?"

Ye Lan rolled her eyes. "One red envelope is enough for the couple. Why are you so greedy? You actually want two!"

Xu Zhiqiang pouted, "You two aren't married yet, so how come you're a couple?"

"Sooner or later."

Upon arriving in Shanghai by plane, Ye Lan received a message from Dehua as soon as she disembarked.

"Room 3201, Dehua Manor, is ready. Come quickly!"

Ye Lan initially doubted whether the location was real, but after entering it into the map, she found that it was indeed there.

With time running out and the task at hand, we decided to take a taxi directly.

Shanghai, where prices are already high, saw even higher prices during the Spring Festival, making even taking a taxi a painful experience for Ye Lan.

While waiting for the car, Ye Lan said to Xu Zhiqiang, "I've booked two rooms at Rongying Hotel. You take Lin Xueyao to check in. I have some things to take care of here. You have to take good care of your sister-in-law."

"Don't worry, even if I'm gone, my sister-in-law will still be fine after I accept the red envelope." Xu Zhiqiang patted his chest loudly.

Ye Lan patted the other man on the shoulder; he trusted his brother completely.

Lin Xueyao suddenly grabbed Ye Lan's arm, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "Are you coming back tonight? I can't sleep without holding you."

Looking at the charming Lin Xueyao, Ye Lan felt a surge of tenderness in her heart.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be back tonight." Ye Lan gently pinched the bridge of her nose.

Just then, a ride-hailing driver arrived at the location.

Ye Lan got into the car and waved goodbye.

Then he sent a message back to Dehua, "I'll be there soon, wait for me!"

The popularity of such a collaborative live stream is bound to be high, especially since it's a collaboration between two top streamers.

Ye Lan recalled that when she first signed on as a formal streamer, she collaborated with Guying, who was already a top streamer at the time, through Zhou Ting's introduction.

That was the moment that made him famous overnight, bursting into the public eye with his invincible presence.

This time, he wants to replicate it and build up his popularity again.

Li Changqing's milk tea shop is about to open, and Ye Lan, as the brand ambassador, naturally needs to maintain a high level of attention, otherwise she will lose her job as soon as the shop opens.

But here's the key point: it's unrealistic for a streamer to maintain their viewership for long.

Because humans are creatures that crave novelty, they will feel bored and dull when something is repeated too many times.

Ye Lan could clearly feel that there was significantly less audience interaction during his recent live streams.

This proves that people are already tired of his current live streaming style.

To continue gaining traffic, changes must be made.

But change is not such an easy thing.

If the established operating style and live streaming effect are easily changed, it may lead to the loss of old fans.

If you end up losing both new and old fans, it will be a losing proposition.

Faced with this dilemma, Ye Lan chose to collaborate with Brother Hua on a live stream.

One is a recognized top-notch streamer, and the other is a recognized culinary expert; their collaboration might just spark something special.

"Hey handsome guy who looks just like Daniel Wu, you've arrived at Dehua Manor, the destination you've navigated to. Happy New Year! Please give me a five-star review on the platform."

"Don't worry, Master, I've already given you a five-star review. Even Jesus couldn't save you, I'm telling you."

Ye Lan had never met a ride-hailing driver who spoke so pleasantly.

He immediately maxed out the star rating on his phone, giving it a five-star review and also tipping it 100 yuan.

It's not easy to drive for ride-hailing services during the Chinese New Year; it's a way to bring good luck for the new year.

The night was as dark as ink, but the Dehua Manor was brightly lit. Warm streetlights illuminated the road ahead, and flowers and plants dotted the sides of the bluestone path.

Looking at the large villa in front of her, Ye Lan's eyes revealed envy, and she was filled with emotion. As expected of a top streamer of King of Glory, she could actually own a villa in a place like Shanghai where land is so expensive. She was really powerful.

I gently knocked on the heavy door and waited quietly for Brother Hua to open it.

On the other side, Lü Dehua, who was live-streaming, was striking poses in front of the camera.

"My dear lads, tonight, we will have a very important guest in our live stream. Feel free to guess who this guest is."

"I guess it's Master Zhang, two top chefs working together to prepare our New Year's Eve dinner."

"Then I think Tiegen would be good too."

"Pique peaches are good too."

.......

Just as everyone was wondering, a clear doorbell rang.
