51: Re-run
I've been warned for vulgarity again and again! I've changed a lot of content, brothers, just bear with it.
Modu International Airport.
“This annual event will feature a ranking of super-rich individuals, so the competition is bound to be fierce.”
“You guys should prepare some tickets in advance, so you don't get caught off guard and have your home base stolen.”
There are still many super-rich individuals on Douyin; they might not have shown off before, but they will definitely emerge during this annual carnival.
To put it bluntly, rankings are just a way to stimulate consumption among the super-rich, a very low-level sales tactic.
But surprisingly, Chinese people fall for this.
It's not about fighting for steamed buns but for pride; not for anything else, just for face.
Everyone is a super-rich individual, so why should my ranking be lower than yours?
So this year's annual event will definitely be spectacular!
“Super-rich ranking? Is Douyin trying to fleece us?”
“One annual event isn't enough; they've even added a super-rich ranking. This year, they're going for a big harvest.”
“Thank you, President Qian, for the reminder; otherwise, it would have been a huge embarrassment.”
Each year, they would spend about ten million yuan on the annual event, which used to be enough, but this year it will likely be tough.
“Sigh, I feel so tired playing live streams now. Not only does it waste money, but it also wastes energy.”
“If it weren't for the emotional connection, I would have stopped playing long ago.”
Although streamers are the electronic pets of the super-rich, after spending so much time together, there's bound to be a hint of affection.
Humans are not Wind Forest Grass Wood; how can they be without feelings?
“Tsk, this shows that you are not playing live streams; instead, live streams are playing you.”
“Learn from President Qian and me; neither of us has a protected streamer. We watch whoever we want.”
Li Youqian strongly agreed with Mei Niang's point of view.
Watching live streams is just for passing time. If you have money, you tip; if you don't, you just Free Stuff.
When a streamer can no longer provide you with emotional value, then move on to the next one.
Becoming a death guardian for a certain streamer, Li Youqian truly couldn't do it.
You and I had no connection, it was all thanks to my money.
When the money stops, the feelings return to zero.
“Sigh, after this year's annual event, I'll start to fade away.”
The old man has been playing live streams for so many years and is tired of it; he has long planned to quit.
It's not just him; many super-rich individuals are tired of it. They've enjoyed everything there is to enjoy, so there's no meaning left.
“Enough about that. President Qian, what are your plans for the future?”
After spending a few days together, they had a general understanding of each other.
So, Li Youqian just idling at home was no secret.
“I haven't decided yet. I just started playing live streams; I'll think about it when I'm tired of it.”
In reality, Li Youqian truly didn't know what to do in the future. Currently, he could only slowly wait for the system to upgrade.
As for business investment, he was not cut out for it at all. Throwing money into the stock market would be worse than feeding it to dogs.
He still had that much self-awareness.
“Sigh, I envy you young people~”
The old man started from scratch; he never experienced a single day of being a rich second generation, so he greatly envied Li Youqian's lifestyle.
“Alright, I'm done chatting. I should go in now. We'll meet again if fate allows.”
After the old man left, the remaining three also said their goodbyes one after another.
It's worth mentioning that before Shadow left, he bought the two bottles of tequila from Li Youqian at a friendly price of 40 million yuan.
That stuff was useless in Li Youqian's hands, and it was better to cash it out, so he went with the flow and subtly did someone a favor.
.....
“Hello, brothers, did you miss me?”
At 8 PM, Li Youqian, who had been “out of contact” for ten days, reopened his live stream.
[(47) Wind Forest Grass Wood entered the live stream.]
[(50) I Love Free Stuff entered the live stream.]
[(32) Infatuation entered the live stream.]
....
[(50) I Love Free Stuff: “Brother! You've finally started streaming!!”]
[(50) I Love Free Stuff: “Without you, my wallet has been shrinking madly!”]
[(50) I Love Free Stuff: “If you don't come back soon, I'll have to sell my house and take out a loan to tip!”]
[(47) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “You totally deserve it. Who told you to tip so fiercely?”]
[(47) Wind Forest Grass Wood: “It's only been a few days? Your level is already higher than mine!”]
[Free Stuff Ge really has strength!]
[Exactly, I want to tip but can't even reach level 50. Loans don't even have that much credit limit!]
[Stop chatting, President Qian, let's go!]
[Yes, yes, yes, let's go! Let's go!]
...
These guys, every time I open my live stream, within five minutes, they definitely shout for me to go!
“Free Stuff, I didn't expect you to be so strong.”
“Tip a Great Dragon to see the special effects.”
Ever since Free Stuff started tipping, Li Youqian gained another source of fun, and that was...
To fleece him!
[(50) I Love Free Stuff: “Wuwuwu~ Brother, you're fleecing me as soon as you get back!”]
[(50) I Love Free Stuff: “Your little brother is truly poor!!”]
[(50) I Love Free Stuff gifted streamer - Im Really Rich Imperial Dragon Ranger * 1 (30000 Douyin coins.)]
[666, my Free Stuff Ge is just that strong!]
[Good heavens, as expected of my Free Stuff Ge!]
[Indeed, people who choose this name either always Free Stuff or become big spenders!]
“Thank you, my Free Stuff Ge, for the Imperial Dragon Ranger!”
“brothers, type ‘Free Stuff Ge is awesome’ in the public chat!”
[Free Stuff Ge is awesome!]
[Free Stuff Ge is awesome!]
...
[(50) I Love Free Stuff: “President Qian, I was wrong. Don't hype me up anymore.”]
[(50) I Love Free Stuff: “This time, I'm really out!!”]
“Is that so? I don't believe it, unless you tip me another carnival.”
[(50) I Love Free Stuff gifted streamer - Im Really Rich carnival * 1 (30000 Douyin coins.)]
[???]
[Didn't you say you were out?]
[Oh, I get it, you didn't have any more Great Dragons, right?]
[Indeed, men's words cannot be trusted!]
[You're messing with me, you're playing mind games with President Qian!]
[Good good~]
[You trendy guy!]
...
“What the heck, do we actually have so many of Bao Ge's fans in our live stream?”
Looking at the 'Bao-speak' on the screen, Li Youqian asked in surprise.
[What fans? We are clearly his fathers!]
[Exactly! Exactly!]
[We are the Big Brother's ten-million-strong Monkey Grandpas!]
“Haha, I used to watch Bao Ge too, but later I got busy and didn't go much.”
“Since he's been mentioned today, let's go watch Bao Ge.”
[Good! Good!]
[President Qian, when you go, don't tip at first. Make him shout!]
[Yes, yes, yes, he must shout!]
[If he doesn't shout, don't tip him!]
[Make him recite the Desolate Ancient Relic Scripture and Codex!]
[Douyin probably can't recite that now, right? If he does, it'll probably be a ten-minute ban at least.]
[Indeed, after all, it involves promoting feudal superstition, and Douyin's scrutiny is strict.]
“What the heck,” “Good good,” “Make him shout,” “Desolate Ancient Codex,” and other famous sayings and memes, these are all memories of the eight million warriors.
“Let's go, to war!”
