16: Chapter 16 ends! Merit points can be exchanged for lifespan!

As soon as these words were spoken, the bullet screen was filled with "Hahaha" and "Master Straight Man" once again.

Finally, the topic naturally shifted to Qian Duoduo, whose account had just been banned.

"What about that fatty? Just a banned account? And only for 24 hours? Isn't that letting him off way too easy?"

"Exactly, scum like him should be arrested!"

Su Yun shook his head, his fingers lightly tapping the tabletop.

"Arrest him? It's difficult."

"Like he said himself, although what he did was disgusting and lacked virtue, it's really hard to define on a legal level."

"It was a consensual transaction; the police can't do anything about it."

"However..." A mischievous smirk curved at the corner of Su Yun's mouth, "That Lin Xiaoya is no pushover."

"Although Qian Duoduo said he could handle the media, self-media is so developed nowadays. As long as Lin Xiaoya posts the evidence online and public opinion starts to ferment, can money really suppress it?"

"The days ahead for this fatty will likely be more miserable than being in prison."

"Social death is sometimes more terrifying than physical elimination."

Su Yun's analysis was logical and clear, making the stream viewers nod repeatedly in agreement.

After chatting with the viewers for a bit longer, he glanced at the time; more than half an hour had already passed.

The stream's popularity hadn't dropped; instead, it surged again because of his 'post-match review.'

But his body really couldn't hold out anymore; a nerve in his brain was throbbing with pain.

"Alright, alright, I really can't go on. If I keep streaming, I'm going to drop dead."

Su Yun cupped his fists toward the camera.

"Everyone, don't miss out as you pass by. If you haven't followed, give me a follow. Those who follow won't get lost."

"Same time tomorrow, be there or be square."

Having finished speaking, he didn't give the viewers any time to react.

Su Yun's hand moved the mouse with lightning speed and clicked 'End Stream' directly.

Snap!

The screen went black.

The tens of thousands of viewers in the stream room who were still typing to get him to stay were instantly dumbfounded.

"Holy crap? He's off just like that?"

"That was way too fast! I hadn't even finished typing!"

"This streamer is legit. When he says he's ending the stream, he really ends it, no dawdling at all!"

"Followed, followed. I like this personality, he doesn't coddle anyone!"

...

Su Yun took off his headphones and tossed them onto the table. He slumped into his chair as if his bones had been removed.

Tired.

So damn tired.

This exhaustion wasn't just physical; it was mental.

He had to maintain the air of a master at all times, keep his brain spinning rapidly, and engage in a battle of wits with those people.

This money is really not easy to earn.

Just then.

That familiar mechanical voice rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has completed an effective intervention of heavenly secrets.]

[Settling event...]

[The host exposed Qian Duoduo's debauched life. Although it did not directly lead to his arrest, it triggered a small-scale social reflection and successfully warned of a potential public opinion storm.]

[Congratulations to the host, you have gained merit points: 10 points.]

When Su Yun heard this number, he almost jumped out of his chair.

"How much? 10 points?"

"System, did you swallow my kickback?"

Su Yun complained wildly in his heart.

This was way too stingy.

[System Prompt: The acquisition of merit points is directly related to the degree of the target's wickedness, the influence of the host's intervention, and the consequences saved.]

[Although Qian Duoduo is morally corrupt, he did not commit a serious felony, and his actions were, to a certain extent, consensual between both parties.]

[The host did not directly save a life but merely exposed ugliness, hence the lower reward.]

Listening to the system's explanation, Su Yun rolled his eyes.

Fine.

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, no matter how small.

10 points is 10 points, better than nothing.

Su Yun pulled up the system panel and glanced at his pitiful longevity balance.

[Current Host Longevity Balance: 89 days, 15 hours, 23 minutes.]

This bit of time wasn't even enough for him to mess around.

"System, exchange for longevity."

Su Yun muttered in his heart.

"Exchange all 120 points of merit for me."

[Ding! Received host's instruction.]

[Consuming 120 merit points, exchanging for longevity: 12 days.]

[Exchange successful!]

[Current Host Longevity Balance: 101 days, 15 hours, 23 minutes.]

As the system prompt faded.

A surge of warmth suddenly rose from Su Yun's lower abdomen, traveled up his spine, and quickly flowed throughout his entire body.

That feeling was like drinking a mouthful of hot ginger soup in winter, or as comfortable as soaking in warm water.

His head, which had been somewhat groggy from staying up late to stream, instantly cleared up quite a bit.

The needle-like headaches that occurred from time to time also lessened significantly, becoming almost imperceptible.

Even his breathing became smooth, no longer wheezing like a broken bellows.

Su Yun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Refreshing!

This feeling of returning vitality was simply too wonderful.

Although only twelve days of life were added, the repair of his bodily functions was very real.

"This system is legit."

Su Yun clenched his fists, feeling his strength returning, and couldn't help but curl his lips upward.

As long as he had this system, what did cancer matter?

As long as he kept catching criminals, fortune-telling, and saving people, he could keep extending his life.

He could even live more comfortably than before.

He was in a great mood.

Su Yun hummed a little tune and picked up his phone from the table.

As soon as he unlocked it.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

The phone almost exploded.

WeChat, Douyin backend, text messages...

Various notification sounds chimed together, and the screen was so lagged it couldn't even move.

Su Yun finally waited for the phone to recover and clicked to take a look.

Good grief.

It was all friend requests.

"Master! Please tell my fortune! Any price is fine!"

"Master Su, I am the CEO of such-and-such company, I'd like to ask you to look at my Feng Shui..."

"Master, I'm a little fangirl of Boss Qian, can I have your contact info?"

"Streamer, I'm from an MCN agency, I want to talk to you about signing a contract, annual salary starts at a million!"

Looking at this 99+ message list, Su Yun didn't even have the desire to click on them.

These people were either after his fame or his profit.

And those asking for Boss Qian's contact information made him find it even more hilarious.

It's already come to this, and they're still thinking about jumping into the fire pit?

Su Yun directly clicked "Ignore All," giving his phone some peace.

Then, he opened his wallet.

During the stream just now, besides Qian Duoduo's Douyin No. 1, there were actually many small tips.

Added up, it was a few thousand yuan.

Su Yun looked at that number and hesitated for about 0.1 seconds.

Then his fingers operated quickly.

Withdraw, transfer.

Target account: Orphanage Renovation Fund.

Amount: 90%.

He only kept a little money for himself to eat.

"Sigh, I'm poor."

Su Yun looked at the remaining balance and sighed.

"But rules are rules. This money feels like a hot potato in my hands; it's better to donate it for peace of mind."

"Anyway, with the system, there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future."
