Chapter 18 - 18. The First Guest Is...

Soon, night fell, and the clock hands pointed to 7:30 PM.

Ron had prepared for the live broadcast, choosing a simple room in the Empress's palace.

Although the room was basic, it was exceptionally quiet and well-lit, ensuring the smooth progress of the broadcast.

He carefully checked the phone he would use for the broadcast, confirmed everything was normal, took a deep breath, and started the stream.

As soon as the live stream screen opened, a massive number of users flooded in instantly.

Pirates, Marines, nobles from various countries, members of royalty... all sorts of people gathered, and the live stream room instantly became lively.

Most people entered with a curious mindset, clearly still unclear about this new thing called 'live streaming'.

As soon as they entered the live stream room, the comments started flooding in.

"This is so new, I didn't expect TikTok could even live stream."

"What is live streaming? And why is this gentleman wearing a mask? Is he too ugly?"

"Tashigi, don't comment on others' appearances casually, it lowers the quality of the Marines."

"Ah! It's Captain Smoker, my apologies, Tashigi understands her mistake."

"Hahaha, even the dignified Captain Smoker is using TikTok and watching live streams? Could it be that he only follows videos of beautiful women?"

"Stupid hippo, a bunch of fools, what class are you, to be in the same live stream room as me, King Wapol."

"King Wapol? Never heard of you. Tell me your address, and I promise not to send you some local specialties."

"You dog thing, where are you from? Say it, and Grandpa promises not to beat you to death!"

The live stream room was chaotic, with all sorts of voices rising and falling.

When Wapol saw the names of these people, he couldn't help but gasp.

Chinjao of the Happo Navy, with a bounty as high as 542 million Berries!

Onigumo, Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral...

Each of these names made him tremble with fear.

Wapol's legs were shaking with fright, regretting his impulsive comment just now.

He tried several times, but found he couldn't retract his message, so he could only choose to remain silent, secretly rejoicing that he hadn't exposed his address.

"Where did these guys come from? They scared the hell out of me. Luckily I didn't reveal my address!"

Just as everyone was still trying to find Wapol, Ron spoke.

At this time, the number of online viewers in the live stream room had already exceeded 100,000.

"Hello everyone, TikTok users! I am the producer of TikTok and also the host of today's live broadcast."

Ron's voice was steady and clear, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"The main purpose of this live broadcast today is to explain how to produce high-quality videos."

"Normally, I also watch videos, but I find that many videos are poorly made and lack any technique."

"So, I specifically started this live stream today to answer everyone's questions, and at the same time, I will introduce a new feature of TikTok, the 'Shopping Cart'."

"Shopping Cart?" The live stream room instantly erupted, everyone asking the same question: What is the Shopping Cart? What is it for?

Ron didn't waste time and explained directly. "I know everyone is confused about the function of the Shopping Cart. Don't worry, let me explain slowly."

"Using the Shopping Cart is very simple; it's a platform for selling things."

"Everyone can take photos of the goods they want to sell, list them in the Shopping Cart, set a price, and then trade with other users."

"Of course, the platform will take a certain percentage of commission from each order."

"If you buy counterfeit goods, you can file a complaint, and the platform will handle it fairly. It will absolutely not favor anyone because of their identity."

After Ron finished speaking, the live stream room was silent.

Everyone was trying to digest this completely new concept, thinking about and understanding the use and rules of the Shopping Cart.

Two minutes later, Ron continued. "Next, I will select a few lucky viewers for a video call Q&A session. Feel free to ask your questions, including the shooting technique issues I mentioned earlier. I will explain them one by one during the Q&A."

Subsequently, Ron enabled the video call permission in the live stream room. Instantly, users applying for calls swarmed in, and the live stream room became lively again.

Ron randomly picked an applicant. When he saw the other party's ID, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes; it was someone he knew.

Soon, the video connected, and Nojiko's figure appeared in the live stream room.

Her refreshing blue short hair, red hair ribbon, and simple tank top and shorts looked particularly capable yet stylish, giving people a refreshing impression.

"Welcome, Miss Nojiko, to be the first lucky viewer today," Ron said with a smile. "Do you have anything you'd like to ask, or any problems? You can ask them now."

Meanwhile, on the Going Merry, Nami saw her sister Nojiko appear in the live stream and immediately jumped up in surprise, cheering, "It's my sister! It's my sister, Nojiko! I can't believe she was chosen! How lucky!"

Sanji couldn't help but roar, "Nami's sister is indeed as beautiful as Miss Nami! They truly are a pair of beauties!"

Zoro pouted and muttered in a low voice, "Perverted cook."

"What! Moss-head, I heard you just now!" Sanji instantly became enraged, turning sharply to glare at Zoro.

"Huh? What did I say, perverted cook?" Zoro deliberately acted innocent, looking provocatively at Sanji.

"Damn it, I think you want to fight!" Sanji rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to fight at any moment.

"Shut up! I can't hear anything!" Nami roared, her voice clearly impatient.

Her anger instantly extinguished their fighting spirit, and the scene quieted down.

The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates also quieted down and began to focus on watching the live stream.

Surprisingly, Luffy was uncharacteristically not causing trouble, but sat quietly to the side, his eyes fixed on the screen, seemingly also attracted by the content of the live stream.

...

And Nojiko, sitting at the table watching the live stream, had completely not expected her luck to be so good as to be the first viewer chosen.

She felt both nervous and excited, stuttering a bit as she spoke, "Ah... I... I, I..."

"Miss Nojiko, no need to be nervous, just think of it as chatting between friends," Ron's voice was gentle and encouraging. "You can ask any questions you have, and I will do my best to help you solve them."

Meanwhile, the comments in the live stream room were also filled with a friendly atmosphere, countless messages scrolling rapidly:

"Beautiful lady, don't be nervous, we are all good people!"

"Go, Miss Nojiko, we all support you!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone here is a friend!"
