Chapter 8

Lin Yi aimed the hidden camera at himself and said to the lens —

"Alright, everyone has been watching the live stream all day, I guess you're all tired. Go to bed early! I'm about to end the live stream, see you all tomorrow!"

Inside the live stream room —

"By the way, are you going to spend the night in the Forbidden City?"

"Damn! Host, you're awesome! You actually stayed in the Forbidden City! How much did it cost?"

"Host is so rich, I'm kneeling for you!"

"Host is going to have a bromance with the actor playing Wei Xiaobao, they'll sleep in the same bed!"

"Does Host need soap?"

"Alright, stop the noise, what time will Host start the live stream tomorrow? It's quite interesting, I'll keep watching!"

"Exactly, what time will Host start the live stream tomorrow?"

"Is there anyone from Beijing who can go to the Forbidden City to meet Host tomorrow?"

"I'm in Qingdao, it's quite far from Beijing."

"I'm in Guangzhou."

"I'm in Harbin."

"Host might not be in the Forbidden City, we didn't see any tourists there during the day. It's probably a film set?"

"Possible."

...

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh bitterly. The live stream room was full of all kinds of comments, but no one believed he had really traveled through time!

He had to say to the lens, "Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, I'll start the live stream on time."

He paused and added, "After watching the live stream all day, can you show some support? Send some gifts?"

He was still thinking about his system mall!

According to the system's explanation, to spend money in the system mall, he needed gold coins. The source of gold coins was the gifts he received during the live stream.

He had been live streaming for a whole day, and not a single tourist had given him any gifts. He had to ask for them with a thick face!

Lin Yi had some understanding of the live streaming world. Apart from those who truly liked the host and had become fans, who would send gifts voluntarily, or rich people who were happy and sent gifts, most tourists didn't send gifts.

Most tourists came for entertainment and to pass the time. They would just watch. Spending money on this depended on their ability and mood.

So, in the live streaming world, being successful sometimes required a thick face. The thicker the face, the more you could get, just like in real life.

Even those hosts with thousands or tens of thousands of followers needed a thick face. However, the big hosts with thick faces "licked" the rich people who spent lavishly, and a single gift could be worth thousands or even tens of thousands.

As a host with only a hundred followers, Lin Yi now had to ask for gifts from a group of small tourists.

The tourist audience also responded —

"Host, stop joking! Just the equipment and the extras, it must have cost you tens of thousands of yuan a day. Are you asking for gifts from us, the small fries?"

"Exactly, Host, are you ashamed?"

"Host is rich, but we've been watching all day, so we should show some support. A small gift, just to show respect."

"Handsome sent 66 lollipops × 3 to Host"

"Exactly, brothers, if you have money, show some support. We've been watching all day, a few bucks won't hurt."

"I don't eat dumplings sent 188 lollipops to Host."

"Feng Tian sent 66 lollipops × 6 to Host — Host worked hard today!"

"Lazy person sent 188 lollipops × 3 to Host — Host is rich, still asking for gifts, really! Hard work fee!"

"Rich people can be reckless, I can only contribute some popularity, hope Host doesn't mind."

"Exactly, exactly."

"Chen Long sent 1314 lollipops × 10 to Host — Host is rich, I'm not poor either, just to show respect."

"Damn! 10 sets of 1314 lollipops, a big spender appeared!"

"Damn! Kneeling for the big spender!"

"Kneeling for the big spender +1!"

"Kneeling for the big spender +2!"

...

Lin Yi looked at the situation in the live stream room and was a bit stunned. Among the more than a hundred tourists, only about seven or eight actually sent gifts.

Actually, according to this ratio, it wasn't bad. It showed that his live stream had been recognized, and seven or eight people were willing to spend money on him.

Lollipops, although not expensive, cost 0.1 yuan each, but 66 lollipops cost 6.6 yuan, and a few sets would cost dozens of yuan.

These seven or eight viewers, more or less, sent gifts worth dozens of yuan, which showed they had some spending power.

But suddenly, a "Chen Long" who sent 10 sets of 1314 lollipops appeared, which was a big spender, even a godly spender!

One set of 1314 lollipops cost over a hundred yuan, and 10 sets cost over a thousand yuan.

Over a thousand yuan might not seem like much, but someone who could casually spend over a thousand yuan must have assets of at least a million or ten million.

For example, if you only had 10,000 yuan in your bank account, could you casually spend over a thousand yuan without blinking? It's just for entertainment, no different from burning money with fire!

Even if you had 100,000 yuan in your card, few people would be so reckless.

Generally, such people had several million or tens of millions in real life, and they would spend money like this online, all of them godly spenders.

Lin Yi didn't expect to meet such a godly spender on his first day of live streaming, and he even sent him gifts. He said to the lens, "Thank you for the gift, Brother Long!"

He then looked at Chen Long's nickname, which had no titles.

Titles were a consumption method introduced by the platform, similar to QQ membership.

But the titles here were more expensive, ranging from tens of yuan for a knight, hundreds of yuan for a baron or viscount, to thousands of yuan for a duke, and 120,000 yuan for a king.

This was just the initial cost for the title, and the monthly renewal fee was also a significant amount.

Logically, "Chen Long," as a godly spender, should at least be a duke or even a king. If he appeared in the live stream room, he would usually be directly displayed in the VIP seats.

This was the honor and presence given by the platform to such "nobles."

But "Chen Long" was just a regular nickname with no titles, so he had no presence before.

If he hadn't suddenly sent gifts, no one would have noticed him.

Regardless, since the godly spender sent gifts, Lin Yi, who was concerned about his "future," had to thank him.

Inside the live stream room —

"Chen Long: Host, stop joking, we're not short of money! I just came out with a small account to wander around, didn't expect to meet a rich host. Host is also reckless! Hiring so many extras to shoot a time-travel drama? It looks quite interesting!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh bitterly inside. Time-travel drama? Damn, he had really traveled through time!

But saying it now, no one would believe him.

Time travel happens, but who has seen it with their own eyes? Believing you would be foolish!

Lin Yi already understood that, as Chen Long said, this was a small account.

For people at the level of a godly spender, their main accounts were usually dukes or kings, with many people paying attention. On the platform, wherever they went, a group of people with various purposes would follow.

Some wanted to be friends with the godly spender and cling to their wealth.

Some were live stream hosts themselves, also coming to cling to the godly spender's wealth.

Some were just there to watch the godly spender.

At first, these godly spenders might find it fresh, being followed by a group of people wherever they went, satisfying their online consumption psychology and sense of presence.

But over time, they would find it annoying, and many started using small accounts to have fun.

Chen Long was clearly one of them, and such rich people or godly spenders were not few.

Lin Yi thanked Chen Long again, then thanked the small spenders who sent gifts.

After saying goodbye to everyone, he turned off the live stream.

Wei Xiaobao had just finished and came back, looking at Lin Yi with some confusion and asked, "Big Brother, did I just hear you talking to someone?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Ah! Just talking to myself!"

He thought to himself that he had just been live streaming, and if he explained the situation to him, he would probably go crazy. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
