50: New tactics - 2

In the voice chat room, Zhi Xia noticed that Yao Yao had suddenly gone quiet and Brother Ye had also stopped typing on the public screen. She immediately guessed that the two of them must be chatting privately about content that couldn't be broadcasted.

Although it was currently Yao Yao's main shift, as the hall's current pillar of revenue, Zhi Xia wouldn't mind even if she slacked off during her shift or skipped work every day. As long as Brother Ye's revenue was in place, Zhi Xia would have absolutely no complaints and might even want to award her a perfect attendance prize.

However, when it came to money, it was always better to have it safely in one's pocket sooner rather than later.

Yao Yao could be a bit silly sometimes. If she said the wrong thing and offended this God of Wealth, the loss would be immense.

Her eyes darted around as she sent a WeChat message to July, who was also on the mic.

A moment later, July spoke up with a light chuckle, as if suddenly remembering something.

“By the way, Sister Zhi Xia, I heard from the Operations Sister yesterday that there's a 'Goddess Championship Competition' this month? Since Sister Yao Yao is so amazing now and her revenue is so high, why not sign her up for some fun?”

“Oh! Look at my memory!”

Zhi Xia immediately slapped her forehead. “Right, right, right, there is such an event! Yao Yao? Yao Yao! Where are you? Stop hiding!”

Yao Yao, who was staring at her phone screen agonizing over how to reply to the phrase 'send me your chest directly,' heard Zhi Xia call her name and quickly turned on her mic to respond.

“I'm here, I'm here. What's up, Sister Zhi Xia?”

“Do you want to participate in the guild's 'Goddess Championship Competition' this month? The rewards are quite generous!”

Yao Yao paused for a moment, then had a sudden flash of inspiration and kicked the ball over. “Ask my brother! If my brother says participate, I'll participate!”

Jiang Ye, who had been lurking on the screen, saw the topic turn to him. He put down his roasted yam and typed: 【?】

Seeing the big spender respond, Zhi Xia's spirits lifted as she quickly explained in detail.

“Brother Ye, it's like this. Isn't this month the platform's Carnival Month? Every sector under the guild, like solo video streamers, Girl groups, and our voice chat room, can participate in this 'Goddess Championship Competition.' It's actually a revenue event with different tracks and reward tiers. There are corresponding rewards for reaching them, and those who rank at the top get extra grand prizes. However...”

She paused before continuing, “If the revenue goal for the sign-up isn't met, there's a small penalty. It mostly depends on how much support the big brothers provide.”

On his side of the screen, Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow, unable to help but marvel again.

These people in the voice chat room are really fucking good at reeling people in!

Routine after routine, a hundred different tricks—it was like plucking feathers from a passing goose; even a passing dog would have a handful of kibble snatched away.

Brother Ye: 【Then sign up, just to join in the fun.】

Yao Yao was delighted and quickly followed up, “My brother said to sign up! Sister Zhi Xia, hurry and sign me up!”

Zhi Xia smiled. “Alright! Brother Ye, which tier do you think is appropriate for Yao Yao? The voice chat room has three tiers: 3,000, 8,000, and 15,000.”

Her words were half-true.

The guild did indeed have a 'Goddess Championship Competition,' but it was aimed at sectors like video streamers and Girl groups; the voice chat room didn't participate at all.

But that didn't stop her from using this name to stimulate another wave of consumption. As long as there was revenue, the guild would certainly be happy to see it happen.

At worst, she could just find a few streamers with revenue from other rooms to make up the numbers and fake a ranking to fool everyone.

Jiang Ye frowned as he heard these numbers.

Goddess?

Championship Competition?

The threshold is only this much?

In such a large guild, you can become a goddess for a few thousand yuan? How much of a rebate could that even yield?

Brother Ye: 【There aren't any higher tiers? Just this?】

Zhi Xia quickly responded, “Brother, there are, there are! Definitely! How much do you plan to put up for Yao Yao this time? You set a standard, and I'll sign her up immediately!”

Jiang Ye rubbed his chin.

To get to the 'good stuff' sooner, he had to play big a couple of times. It would also allow him to see how far this Girl's 'sincerity' would go.

He pondered for a moment and typed: 【Around 100,000.】

“100,000? Oh, okay brother, 100,000 sound waves, right? This revenue should guarantee a top-three finish, other rooms probably...”

Before Zhi Xia could finish her sentence, she was choked off by another line of text that jumped onto the public screen. Her eyes instantly went wide.

Brother Ye: 【100,000 Long Yuan, not sound waves.】

“Hiss—”

“Huh?”

“Holy shit!”

Yao Yao and Zhi Xia on the mic, along with July who had been quietly acting as background noise, all sucked in a breath of cold air almost simultaneously.

One hundred thousand Long Yuan?

That was one million sound waves!

For a small room under an ordinary guild, that was an astronomical figure!

Yao Yao even doubted her own eyes. “Brother? You... how much did you say? One hundred thousand... Long Yuan?”

Brother Ye: 【Yeah, playing small is boring. I either don't play, or I play with 100,000.】

Zhi Xia clutched her chest, taking deep breaths repeatedly, feeling like her heart was about to jump out!

She had originally just intended to reel him in a little on a whim, but who knew that a casual attempt would yield such a big catch!

But after the wild joy, her rationality quickly returned.

There was a problem... among the six voice chat rooms under their guild, they probably couldn't find a single streamer who could pull in a million sound waves in a single PK match.

This simply wasn't revenue that a guild of their size could sustain.

Such a result would be considered explosive even in many famous, large voice chat rooms backed by legendary whales.

If they really reported it and ended up with a bizarre situation where first place had a million sound waves while second place only had a few tens of thousands, they might be treated as a joke by other guilds and streamers.

Although the guild wanted revenue, they still needed to maintain basic face. They could reel in money reasonably, but they couldn't blatantly 'scam votes,' otherwise their reputation would be ruined in the long run.

In front of her computer, Zhi Xia's brain worked at high speed.

No, no matter what, she had to find a way to secure this 100,000!

This wasn't just Yao Yao's income; as the Hall Manager, she could get a 1.5% direct commission from it. If the hall's monthly revenue target was met, she could get another 1% reward.

Calculating it, there was a solid 2,500 yuan in it for her from that 100,000!

She took a deep breath and sat up straight. “Brother, I understand what you mean! I'll go communicate with the operations team right now and do my best to coordinate a suitable opponent for you and Yao Yao, and arrange a PK worthy of this revenue! If the guild really can't arrange a decent opponent, then we won't participate. Such a small event would indeed be beneath Yao Yao, we won't join in the fuss!”

Jiang Ye looked at Zhi Xia's reply and nodded with satisfaction.

This Zhi Xia really knew how to handle things; her words and actions were comfortable.

He typed a sentence on the public screen: 【Fine, you handle it. Yao Yao, you think about it, I'm leaving,】 and exited the stream directly.

While waiting for his computer to boot up, Jiang Ye glanced at WeChat. As expected, Yao Yao had already sent a long string of '!!!' and various shocked and questioning emojis.

He smiled and ignored them, directly minimizing the window and clicking on LOL on his desktop.

Well, it was time to enter 'airing out' mode again.

Let the bullet fly for a while, and let this 91-point Girl think carefully about how to express her 'sincerity.'
