“Grandpa.”

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao visited Grandpa Xu in reality.

“Why are you here?” Grandpa Xu could now enjoy his meals and lead a happy life after his body evolved. He put down the book in his hand with a smile.

“Grandpa, we’re here to ask you for some live-streaming experience,” Xu Jingming said. “I’m preparing for my first live-stream lecture, but I don’t have any live-streaming experience.”

Li Miaomiao said, “Although I have some experience, I only live-stream once a month in the virtual world. Now, I live-stream battles and singing.”

“It’s all talent,” Grandpa Xu said with a smile. “You got the right person by coming to me.”

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao immediately p.r.i.c.ked up their ears to listen carefully.

“Back in the day, I live-streamed for hours a day. I also had to pay attention to the comments at all times to determine if my livestream was interesting or attractive. I also had to count the number of viewers and tips I received every day. I had to figure out the reason for the decline in numbers as well as summarize the reasons for success when the numbers go up. I had to rack my brains every day to think about tomorrow’s livestream. As the days turned into years, I naturally gained some experience,” Grandpa Xu said with a smile.

“First rule of a livestream: The content has to be attractive!” Grandpa Xu said. “No matter what message you want to deliver, you have to attract people first! Make them laugh and be happy… Amidst their happiness, they can learn what you want to convey.”

Xu Jingming was also very smart and had experience teaching in reality. He nodded slightly. “I understand. Some people teach in a way that makes the students suffer, but some people learn it easily through playing games.”

“Right, it’s the same logic.” Grandpa Xu said, “Live-streaming is like a movie or a television series. It needs to be exciting and interesting! If it allows everyone to be happy, they’ll naturally learn the knowledge you want to impart. That’s what you call brilliant.”

“Got it.” Xu Jingming immediately had many ideas on teaching.

“Second rule of a livestream: simplicity!” Grandpa Xu said. “Don’t try everything in one shot! You only need to teach one kind of knowledge during a live-stream lecture! If you explain this kind of knowledge thoroughly, the audience will only need to learn one kind of knowledge. Talking too much will confuse the audience.”

“Back then…” Grandpa Xu recalled the past. “I taught them gaming, and all of them clamored about how they had learned it in their brains, but their hands couldn’t keep up! Later on, I understood that my teaching was too complicated. I treated them like fools and taught them the basics. I taught them eight or ten basic operations, but when combined, it was a deep set of maneuvers.”

Xu Jingming nodded. “Understood. Treat them like idiots.”

“Yes, there are countless people in the world. Teach them like they are idiots. If even a fool can learn it, so will the rest.” Grandpa Xu nodded.

“Third rule of a livestream: Advance step by step!” Grandpa Xu continued.

…

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao were enlightened by the rules of livestreams.

“Fifteenth rule of a livestream: the finishing touch!” Grandpa Xu said. “You have to sublimate your livestream and instantly hook people. You have to let everyone feel that this isn’t an ordinary livestream. This is something with hidden meanings and is unique. Naturally, they will treat you differently! For example, countless viewers have to review a Martial Arts Center’s course… You have to make the audience feel that your course is special and better than the others. Naturally, their reviews will be better.”

Xu Jingming fell into thought. “Finishing touch?”

“For example, a movie tells a tragic story. But during the final scene, a statistic shows how many people around the world don’t eat their fill every year, how many people suffer similar encounters, and so on… The moment the data appears, it shows the authenticity and shock value of your story. This is because you’re talking about the experiences of countless pitiful people around the world. It reflects reality.”

“For example, after a livestream cla.s.s ends, you have to sublimate in an instant, allowing your cla.s.s to become dazzling and eye-catching, so much so that people can’t help but give you a thumbs-up,” Grandpa Xu said. “Alright, I’ve taught you all 15 rules of a livestream. You can rely on it to make a living just by grasping seven or eight of them.”

Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao felt that they had gained a lot, and they felt even more admiration for their grandfather.

It was no wonder he could make a killing in that era as a professional eSports player and streamer. For example, his father—Xu Hong—was a martial arts blogger when he was young. He traveled the world and visited countless schools. He was backed by Grandpa; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the money to do so. Of course, this resulted in his father, Xu Hong, establishing the Eight Extremities Sect in Mingyue City and laying a solid foundation for Xu Jingming.

“Grandpa, we’ll head back first,” Xu Jingming and Li Miaomiao said.

“Okay.” Grandpa Xu was in a good mood after talking so much.

He had finally pa.s.sed on his livelihood to his grandson. He was in a good mood!

“It’s an eye-opener hearing so much,” Li Miaomiao said. “Grandpa doesn’t live-stream either. If he did, he would definitely become a top live-streamer in this era.”

Xu Jingming smiled. “I’ll go organize my cla.s.ses first. I have some ideas on how to teach my nine martial arts cla.s.ses.”

Xu Jingming started planning the details of his cla.s.ses using his grandfather’s 15 rules of live-streaming.

Meanwhile—

With Liu Hai starting a livestream lecture, the other experts around the world began their lessons.

“It’s easy practicing an ax.” Tiger Fussen was as muscular as a bear as he held two axes. “Just chop down trees. If ya can do that well, chopping down people won’t be difficult.”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With that said, Tiger Fussen began his act of chopping trees.

Heavens, that’s how he’s teaching? Xu Jingming couldn’t help but facepalm when he saw this.

“Gotta be happy and comfortable when chopping trees. You have to put your back into it.” Tiger Fussen brandished his ax as he said, “It just doesn’t feel right if I don’t chop a single day. When it reaches deep into the bone, you can chop down anyone you want.”

With that said, Tiger Fussen couldn’t help but look at the countless comments floating past him, feeling a little guilty. This was because all his disciples didn’t succeed when he taught boxing.

Tiger Fussen didn’t know how to teach ax-wielding now. He just taught it according to how he mastered it.

Man, perhaps teaching the ax will work even if I suck at teaching boxing? Tiger Fussen thought to himself, but he still shouted excitedly, “Chop down trees with me every day as a warm-up exercise. Just chopping trees will increase your strength!”

…

“Kendo is about dedication to the sword.”

Miyagawa Meishin kneeled under a cherry blossom tree and spoke softly as he explained his swordsmanship to the hundreds of millions of viewers.

“Basics of Kendo—Nineteen Stances of the Wind Sword Technique.” Miyagawa Meishin got up and held a j.a.panese sword in one hand. “First practice with one hand before doing so with two. There’s no rush!”

Although it was called a sword technique, he was actually holding a long and narrow j.a.panese sword that was closer to a blade.

“Why does it feel so complicated?” Li Miaomiao stood in the stands. She also felt that sword techniques and j.a.pan’s blade techniques should have something in common, so she came to listen. However, the basics were so difficult that it gave her a headache.

…

In the blink of an eye, it was November 10.

Xu Jingming was ready.

“Have you changed the livestream’s name?” Li Miaomiao asked.

“I’ve changed it.” Xu Jingming nodded. “I’ve added the time the livestream begins to the name—9 p.m. tonight!”

Li Miaomiao nodded. “Issuing a preview notice allows the world to know that you’re live-streaming at 9 p.m. tonight. When that happens, there will be a lot more viewers.”

Xu Jingming also looked forward to teaching. It was something that gave him a sense of accomplishment, especially when he was teaching the world!

“In the past few days, 25 top experts around the world have live-streamed,” Li Miaomiao said. “From the looks of it, Master Liu Hai and Russia’s Akinov have the best effects.”

“Master Liu Hai is good at teaching and guiding people patiently. As for Akinov, he teaches actual combat and allows people to naturally learn things through actual combat,” Li Miaomiao said. “Akinov has set up different actual combat scenarios for people. Every actual combat scenario allows them to train different moves. They grasp them very quickly and can be used in actual combat very easily. People love this method.”

Xu Jingming nodded. “They’re all very good teaching methods.”

“There are many people around the world who aren’t live-streaming. They’re probably in the midst of preparation,” Li Miaomiao said. “Oh right, what are you planning on teaching? You didn’t tell me in detail.”

“Didn’t you read the teaching notes?” Xu Jingming smiled.

“I only saw a bunch of physics formulas.” Li Miaomiao shook her head. “You won’t be teaching physics, right? Grandpa said that you have to teach people like they are idiots. How can a fool understand physics?”

“Don’t worry. The teaching notes are for myself,” Xu Jingming said. “My teaching will naturally be extremely simple.”

Soon, it was 9 p.m., and Xu Jingming launched his livestream punctually.

Whoosh!

Xu Jingming stood in the martial arts arena and looked at the stands. A flood of people surged over, and the number of viewers in the livestream rapidly jumped.

In the blink of an eye, there were more than 300 million viewers, and in another blink of an eye, there were more than 800 million viewers. It was obvious that many people were waiting for the livestream to begin airing due to the advance notice.

The number of viewers in the livestream quickly exceeded one billion and continued rising. Everyone around the world was excited. After all, to their knowledge, the three strongest people in the world represented the highest standards. Their martial arts cla.s.ses were naturally priceless and couldn’t be missed.

There’s so many people. Xu Jingming was a little nervous.. This was the first time he had taken the initiative to live-stream, and he had to publicly lecture on martial arts.
