Cheng Qing smiled slightly: "Come and have breakfast!"
Losi could only go over and sit down, and she and Cheng Qing had breakfast on this quiet morning.
Before noon, I received the director's task card, which was to deliver some gifts to the welfare home in the city.
Cheng Qing: "..." Sometimes, it's really hard to get by when you're broke.
Losi took out her phone to check her points and found that she had run out.
Therefore, on this day, Cheng Qing and Luo Xi had no choice but to start another mode of interactive live streaming, which was to complete the voting tasks of netizens and exchange the results for cash.
I heard that the task bar is finally going to be opened today, and all the fans are like they've been injected with chicken blood, waiting in the live broadcast room, determined to let Cheng Qing feel the fans' enthusiasm.
So, in a place where Cheng Qing couldn't see.
The comments are getting bolder and bolder, ranging from "I want to see the two of them feed each other" to "Give them a kiss," fans are willing to say anything.
Cheng Qing was completely unaware of this. After having breakfast with Luo Xi, he took Luo Xi for a walk around the vegetable garden in the backyard, watered it a bit, and then leisurely went home.
At 11 o'clock, the task channel officially opened. Netizens flocked in and began liking their favorite tasks, determined to push them to the top.
Among them, the one that received the most votes was the French kiss.

Chapter 131
From netizens flooding in with likes to calling on friends and family on Weibo and short videos, even rival shippers' fans launched an invasion and fought back, resulting in a bloody storm sweeping across forums, apps, and other major platforms.
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi, who were banned from the internet, were completely unaware of the situation at this time.
Furthermore, Cheng Qing was also considering the aspects that today's task might involve. In her impression, the CP (couple) fandom was quite adorable.
The few times I've been filming on location, all I've seen are adorable little angels.
In addition, Cheng Qing had occasionally given interviews and met people in the industry before. She had heard some things about the industry, such as uncontrollable tasks, and that it was highly likely that the fans would not be completely given full control.
Previously, some platforms had tried giving fans more control over live streams, but back then, the contestants' advancement was still manipulated behind the scenes, and things still went wrong. Since then, no platform has dared to adopt a live streaming format for the finals.
Although they are two different worlds, the business models of the entertainment industry are unlikely to be that different. Therefore, Cheng Qing firmly believed that the production team would definitely intervene.
However, the current trending topic is "Teacher Cheng and the princess's first kiss," and the production team has chosen to let it go.
The powerful CP (couple) fan economy caused this trending topic to quickly rise to the top of the trending list, attracting more people and returning CP fans who were unaware of the matter.
The two had only been a couple for two months, making them a relatively young couple. Furthermore, Cheng Qing's sudden emergence gave Luo Xi's company very little time to prepare.
This has resulted in the group developing at an extremely rapid pace, yet lacking a universally recognized leader.
This kind of team building activity is the first since the CP fan club was formed. It even made it to the trending topics and attracted more casual viewers and more people to watch the live stream.
The fans' supertopic is filled with excitement as they complete the tasks! Teacher Cheng is doing the tasks!
The comments filled up vertically at lightning speed:
[Sobbing, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event!]
Me too. The show is about to end, and everyone else has already made money by doing two live streams.
[Teacher Cheng single-handedly saved money by living frugally for half a month; I'm truly impressed.]
[I have to say I picked a great starting location! I don't even have to buy vegetables, and I get free eggs.]
[That's true. Some other groups planted the same vegetables in the back, probably to sell. The guests were sick of eating them (laughing and crying)]
[Looking forward to it! French kissing is currently the most popular trend, and it's far ahead since the like channel was opened. However, I thought there would be even more explicit and raunchy ones.]
[The person upstairs is really stupid; they can't broadcast anything below the neck! Let's be realistic.]
You can't get fat in one bite, kiss first!!!
[The "Head-Pressing Squad" is begging everyone to like and share this!]

Meanwhile, major companies have also taken notice of this so-called mission that has caused such a stir in today's news.
Therefore, many people also stayed in the live broadcast room and used their mobile phones to observe the reactions from various places.
The number of viewers in the live stream continued to grow rapidly even with the screen black, which was truly astonishing.
Once a content pairing (CP) is successfully established, its economic value is undeniably enviable.
***
Meanwhile, the eldest brother of the Luo family and others also turned on their phones to watch the live stream. But when they saw the tasks hanging on the task bar, they frowned.
***
The Cheng family was also watching, and when the eldest brother saw the task in the task list, his lips twitched. He remembered that the director had said the timer for liking the cushions would start at 11:30.
Why was it half an hour early? Is this some kind of perk for the show ending soon? Thinking about it, I gave it a thumbs up.
***
At 11:30, in just half an hour, each post had surpassed 5 million likes. This monstrous speed quickly made other companies green with envy.
Because Cheng Qing had limited ingredients at home, she simply prepared two bowls of noodles.
Given that there was a live broadcast today, Cheng Qing thought about finishing lunch as soon as possible to earn money.
One viewer commented with regret: "Sigh, the option of feeding each other is gone."
Because Cheng Qing and Luo Xi ate dinner early, the likes for "Feeding Each Other" on the task bar of the live stream stopped, and the "Sharing Bath" item overtook them from third to second place.
At 11:50, Cheng Qing received a call from Kong Mingyan who said, "Because everyone occasionally opens the taskbar for this interactive mode, the initial rewards were 100 points, 50 points, and 10 points."
Cheng Qing nodded; she remembered. Her plan for today was to get all three gifts, at least 160 yuan, and buy as many as she could. She and Luo Xi would make some cards later—it's the thought that counts!
Director Kong added, "After considering it, the production team felt that since you haven't done this episode before, and you're going to the orphanage this afternoon, the gifts you buy, even if they're cheap, are plentiful. So, the reward for everyone completing the first task in today's live stream has been increased to 1000 points."
Cheng Qing exclaimed in surprise, "...So high? Why don't you make things difficult for us?" Isn't the production team always like this?
Kong Mingyan: "...What kind of talk is that! Am I that kind of director?"
Cheng Qing: "You are..."
Kong Mingyan choked: "...Ahem, you guys get ready! It's about to start. The orphanage has a lot of gifts this afternoon, so try your best to earn as much as possible."
Cheng Qing: "...I always feel that this is also a trap." In fact, even if she and Luo Xi had less than two points left, they could easily get through these two days.
Because we were going to the orphanage, we ran out of points quickly. The gifts for the children at the orphanage weren't expensive—just a bag of snacks, a doll, or something like that—maybe only costing 20 yuan per child.
But you can't handle a large number of people! If this welfare home has 30 children, then it will cost at least 600 yuan.
Because of this unexpected task, Cheng Qing had to carefully consider it before deciding to start doing it today. Even though she felt the production team wouldn't allow fans to cause trouble, she always avoided doing tasks unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, after Kong Mingyan mentioned increasing the rewards, Cheng Qing couldn't help but be a little skeptical. She brought it up with Luo Xi during their conversation: "Director Kong said today that if we can complete the task, we can get a reward of 1000 points."
Losi was taken aback: "1000? Wasn't it supposed to be 100 points?"
Cheng Qing nodded: "Yeah, that's why I find it strange, especially the sudden rule that we can't watch the tasks in the live stream. I think there's something very wrong with that!"
Losi was stunned. For the production team to change the rules at the last minute, it must be something valuable. And given the nature of CP (couple) fans, Losi, as a member of the entertainment industry, even if she had never been involved in a CP (couple) relationship before...
However, I also know how heavy the love of CP fans is...
But looking at Cheng Qing, she didn't seem to be fully aware of the matter. Luo Xi was unsure whether she should remind her.
***
Looking at the top-ranked task in the task list—French kissing—Kong Mingyan could only think that the fans had really gone to great lengths.
After all, kissing can be filmed, but bathing together... do you think that's possible?
Looking at the number of online users, it has reached an unprecedented level.
Looking at the data reported by his assistant, Kong Mingyan couldn't stop smiling and said, "Cheng Qing is simply a lucky star for our crew."
After "Best Partners" premiered, despite featuring numerous celebrities, its initial high ratings were short-lived. Revenue couldn't cover expenses, so the show's popularity waned after it shifted towards more dramatic conflict and maintained high viewership.
The production team remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescing to this format.
The name "Best Partners" was meant to express a friendship, but it ended up turning into a fight. The production team must have been in a tough spot!
Therefore, the production team genuinely likes Cheng Qing.
But that didn't stop everyone from gloating when they saw the pinned task in the taskbar.
After discussion, everyone decided to give Cheng Qing a "surprise".
***
The time finally came to 12 o'clock. After Cheng Qing finished cleaning up the dishes, she took out the crew's computer and put it on the table.
After turning on the device and entering the live stream room, Cheng Qing immediately noticed the extraordinary number of viewers.
In terms of viewership, it has already exceeded 100 million.
Cheng Qing: "???"
【Hello, Teacher Cheng!】
【Hello, Teacher Cheng!】
【Hello, Teacher Cheng!】
"Hello Teacher Cheng!" quickly went viral, and soon after, "Hello Princess!" also started to flood the screen.
The fans' enthusiasm is truly remarkable!
Cheng Qing and Luo Xi exchanged a glance and then greeted each other.
You might not believe it, but I took leave to come here.
I sent the child to my mother-in-law's house. (*￣︶￣)
[Haha, I found a cafe in the amusement park to watch the live stream.]
Cheng Qing was a little taken aback. Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, she still reminded them, "It's not necessary. It's just a live stream interaction."
[It's necessary!!! I've finally waited until you've spent all your money!!!]
