14: Chapter 014 Someone's selling lifespans via livestream?
In a cramped, shabby room less than twenty square meters in size, smoke filled the air.
"Defeat!"
Following a cold prompt sound, the phone screen instantly went black.
"Damn it!"
Li Hao slammed his phone onto the bed.
"If it weren't for those constant pop-ups, I would've won already."
He angrily opened the pop-up.
As soon as he opened it, he saw the message notifications: [99+ Replies] [99+ Likes].
Li Hao froze for a moment, then suddenly realized.
"Holy crap!"
"It's that comment!"
Earlier, he had scrolled past a blogger exposing the [lifespan treasure].
He had casually left a comment, but forgot about it after playing games.
Looking at it now, there were over three hundred likes and nearly two hundred comments, all urging him to update.
"Where's the bro?"
"Is he still alive?"
"Come back!"
"He didn't actually go sell his lifespan, did he?"
Li Hao's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
He liked making short videos when he was bored.
Occasionally, he would host a live stream; although not many people watched, if he was lucky, he could scrape together enough for a meal.
He couldn't miss out on this wave of traffic!
Thinking of this, Li Hao immediately looked at the Little Gangster Girls beside him.
"Yanzi!"
A girl with dyed yellow hair sitting by the bed looked up.
"What is it?"
"Help me start a live stream!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"There's a gig!"
Hearing about the live stream, the few people in the room immediately became interested.
"What kind of gig?"
Li Hao chuckled and waved his phone in front of them.
"lifespan treasure."
"People are discussing this today."
"They say you can sell your lifespan for money!"
"I just happen to have it on my phone."
"I'm going to live-stream it for them to see."
The group immediately perked up.
"Really?"
"Come on, come on."
"Let me see."
The yellow-haired girl skillfully logged into the account and started the live stream.
The title was simple and crude: [Internet rumor about an app that trades lifespan for money? Live field test!]
The stream had just started.
There weren't many people yet, just a few dozen.
But people kept clicking in, clearly following over from the comment section.
The chat was scrolling rapidly.
"Holy crap!"
"Live stream?!"
"I'm dying of anticipation!"
"Hurry up and try it!"
"I've been waiting for twenty minutes."
"I think he's just chasing clout for attention!"
Li Hao sat in front of the camera and cleared his throat.
"Brothers."
"Don't rush."
"I'm about to test whether it's real or fake for everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gift effect floated by.
A sports car raced across the screen.
He earned sixty bucks.
Li Hao's eyes lit up immediately, and he instantly switched into business mode.
"Thanks to 'Eats Eight Bowls a Meal' big brother for the sports car!"
"The boss is generous!"
"May the boss get rich!"
After saying that, without dawdling, he aimed the camera directly at the [lifespan treasure] app.
"Holy crap!"
"You actually have it?"
"Why can't I find it anywhere on the internet?"
People started filling the live stream room.
Fifty. One hundred. Three hundred.
Everyone was staring at the screen with curiosity.
After receiving two more gifts, Li Hao finally stopped.
He clicked directly on the black and gold icon.
As soon as he opened it, a prompt popped up on the page: [Authentication successful.][Welcome, User: Li Hao.]
Li Hao was stunned.
"Holy crap?"
"It's exactly like what the blogger exposed!"
"It really doesn't need registration!"
The chat was also stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Automatic authentication?"
"Did it read the real-name information on the phone?"
"It's getting more and more like a virus."
"This is a bit creepy."
Li Hao continued with the operation.
He quickly found the page for selling lifespan.
Following the prompts, he started the evaluation.
The whole process took less than three seconds before a line of golden text appeared: [Evaluation complete.][Your lifespan valuation: 30,000 yuan/year.]
The air suddenly went quiet.
Li Hao stared at the screen, blinking, then blinking again.
"How much?"
"Thirty thousand?"
"Why is my life only worth thirty thousand a year?"
The live stream room instantly exploded.
"Hahahaha!"
"I'm dying of laughter!"
"Others can sell it for five hundred thousand a year."
"How come it's only worth thirty thousand for you?"
"This is looking down on you!"
"Bro, your life is a bit cheap."
"I suggest you apply for after-sales service."
Li Hao was numb.
"No way."
"Why?"
"I'm twenty-one this year!"
"In the prime of my life!"
"Thirty thousand?"
"Are you trying to brush off a beggar?"
As he spoke, he clicked on the details.
The next second, a string of information popped up: [Age: 21][Health Rating: D][Long-term sleep deprivation][Long-term smoking][Long-term alcohol abuse][Body depleted][Irregular diet][Body functions continuously declining][Comprehensive assessment: Low]
The live stream room went quiet for a moment, then went completely crazy with laughter.
"Hahahaha!"
"Sharp criticism!"
"Every word is like a dagger to the heart!"
"I suggest you print it out and hang it by your bed."
"Case solved."
"It's not that your life is cheap, it's that your body is too wrecked."
Li Hao's face darkened.
"Bullshit!"
"My body is perfectly fine!"
A brother beside him added insult to injury: "You get winded climbing to the fifth floor in the morning."
"Shut up!"
"You were peeing blood a few days ago."
"That was just internal heat!"
"You drank yourself into the hospital last week."
"That's because I didn't drink enough!"
The room burst into laughter.
The number of people in the live stream had exceeded one thousand.
The popularity was still rising.
At this moment, someone suddenly raised a question: "That uncle in the video sold three years of lifespan and got 1.5 million. That averages out to 500,000 a year. Why is it only giving him 30,000 a year? How can there be such a big difference?"
As soon as this was said, more and more people realized it.
"That's right."
"This difference is ridiculous."
"It's the same life, but one is heaven and one is earth."
"What is this based on?"
"Age?"
"Occupation?"
"Body?"
The chat was densely packed.
Li Hao was also curious.
He continued scrolling down.
Soon, a paragraph of explanation came into view: [The sale of lifespan is based on a synthesis of the user's life value.][There is a huge difference in value between different individuals.]
Seeing this, the live stream room immediately exploded.
"Holy crap!"
"It can be calculated like that?"
"So this guy is so cheap because he spends most of his time loafing around, and his life has no meaning or value?"
"Very likely!"
"Then for those who were once wealthy and had high life value, wouldn't they just need this software to make a comeback?"
The enthusiasm of the people in the live stream room suddenly soared.
The chat became increasingly lively.
Plus, what that exposing blogger said was so convincing.
If this thing was real...
"Click it!"
"Just try it!"
"What are you afraid of if it's fake?"
"Clicking it won't kill you."
"Don't be a coward!"
"A real go-getter just does it!"
"I'm sending gifts!"
Gift effects kept rising.
The number of people in the live stream had reached two thousand.
Everyone was waiting.
Waiting for Li Hao to press that button.
Li Hao looked at the chat with people egging him on, using reverse psychology.
His mouth curled slightly, and he couldn't help but smile.
If he clicked it and money came in...
What was the difference between this 30,000 yuan and free money?
Do I even need you guys to provoke me?
Without hesitation, he clicked it!
