164: Monthly Rewards

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiangbei continued to drive the fishing boat along the nearshore channel.

At 7 PM, the fishing boat slowly entered the Yacht Club. Upon returning to the reception area, he happened to see the club manager, Liu Zixuan.

After chatting with him for a while, Chen Xiangbei gave him the few remaining fresh hairtail fish.

Liu Zixuan was also a foodie, and he often went sea fishing, knowing the preciousness of sea-caught hairtail. After expressing his thanks, he accepted the fish.

Chen Xiangbei found an excuse to leave the club, eager to get into his Maybach S680. He lightly pressed the accelerator, and the car smoothly drove out, like a sleeping beast being awakened.

Driving on the main road of Linhai City, Chen Xiangbei was in an exceptionally pleasant mood. He slightly narrowed his eyes, feeling the shock brought by the new car.

The steering wheel in his hands was light and flexible, every turn giving him a sense of satisfaction from being in control.

As the speed gradually increased, the Maybach S680 sped across the road like a shining meteor.

The wind blew through the car window, bringing coolness, and Chen Xiangbei's hair fluttered in the wind. He enjoyed the feeling of speed.

He skillfully controlled the vehicle, accelerating at times and decelerating at others, fully displaying his driving skills.

The car's performance was utilized to its fullest; every gear change was like playing a beautiful symphony.

At this moment, Chen Xiangbei seemed to be one with the new car. In this bustling city, he found his own piece of tranquility.

Chen Xiangbei thoroughly indulged in driving, and only returned home after having a hot pot meal.

It was already past ten o'clock at night when he returned home. He walked into the bathroom in his bedroom and took a comfortable shower, washing away the sticky feeling from being blown by the sea breeze.

After showering, Chen Xiangbei made a cup of coffee and sat on the sofa, scrolling through short videos.

First, he checked his follower count, which had already surpassed 32 million and was still increasing steadily at a very fast rate. Various records were constantly being broken by him!

The backend was still overwhelmed by countless messages; the message bar was always 99+!

His latest video announcing his participation in the Singer show had over 6 million likes, and the comment section was full of various five-star critics like MacArthur!

He casually scrolled through a few comments with over 100,000 likes and almost died laughing, unable to get out.

The backend messages had increased with some variety show invitations. This time, it wasn't just music variety shows, but also other types like lifestyle shows, mystery-solving shows, and travel shows.

It was as if he had already become a first-tier celebrity in the country, constantly receiving various collaborations and invitations. He suddenly realized he desperately needed an agent.

After all, even if he didn't plan to participate, he should at least politely reply to their invitation messages, otherwise, they might think he is arrogant.

He thought he might as well post a recruitment notice for an agent online. It was going to happen sooner or later; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to handle all these things.

So, he posted a recruitment video in text and image format, the content being:

Due to work requirements, I am now publicly recruiting an agent and an assistant from the entire society. Preferably with a background in media studies. Benefits and compensation will be discussed in person. Interested individuals, please send your resumes to my email. Thank you.

After sending the recruitment video, Chen Xiangbei turned off his phone and entered a daze.

Meanwhile, his recruitment video was spreading across the entire network at a terrifying speed. Fans' likes and reposts caused it to quickly disseminate.

Netizens who saw the video discussed Chen Xiangbei's recruitment content.

"I didn't expect him to not have an agent yet. No wonder all his matters are posted in the form of selfies; there's simply no one helping him."

"Yeah, I didn't expect Brother to be so excellent, doing everything himself. That's great!"

"What kind of agent and assistant do you think he will recruit?"

"They should be as excellent as Brother!"

"Speak normally!"

...

Chen Xiangbei was in a daze, completely ignoring the netizens' discussions.

Unknowingly, time had already passed midnight.

[Ding, System is starting settlement: Host's income today +600,000 yuan, average hourly wage 100,000 yuan, System reward amount 18,000,000 yuan, Stamina +0.12, Settlement Points +3000. Please keep up the good work!]

[Ding, Host has successfully checked in for 30 days, achieving the accomplishment - Perseverance. Special rewards for the Host: Advanced Appraisal Skill, 1 Free Attribute Point, 10000 points, 10 jin of gold. Please continue to work hard!]

"Whoosh~"

Hearing the System's settlement notification, Chen Xiangbei sprang up from the sofa. He didn't expect that completing a full month was actually a hidden achievement, and the rewards were too generous!

If he remembered correctly, the Advanced Appraisal Skill alone was worth 25000 points. Adding the rewarded 10000 points, the total value was as high as 35000 points, which was higher than his net worth!

And there was also 1 Free Attribute Point, which was something that could genuinely improve his own conditions. It was much more satisfying than gold, which disappears after being spent and can at most only bring some material and spiritual pleasure.

He hadn't spent the 10 jin of gold rewarded last time, and now he had another 10 jin, totaling 20 jin. Converting that, it was 10000 grams. He now had a total of 10500g of gold.

If all of it were converted into cash, the total value would have who knows how many zeros!

"Tong Zi Ge, help me fuse the Advanced Appraisal Skill!"

[Ding, fusing Advanced Appraisal Skill...]

[Ding, fusion successful!]

At this moment, Chen Xiangbei's brain seemed to have turned into a high-speed, precise machine.

Various appraisal knowledge points flowed rapidly in his mind, merging with each other.

His thoughts were like a surging river, with various knowledge points about treasures and antiques converging like river water.

He could clearly see every detail, every characteristic, as if a three-dimensional appraisal space had been constructed in his brain.

Chen Xiangbei's brain seemed to have opened a grand feast of knowledge, with various appraisal knowledge intertwining and colliding within it.

He could quickly filter out the crucial parts from the massive amount of information, as if he possessed a pair of eyes that could see through everything.

During this process, his brain remained highly focused and sharp, not missing any subtle clue.

Finally, this appraisal knowledge was firmly imprinted in his mind like stickers, as solid as the seal of the Five Finger Mountain, and he could access this appraisal knowledge at any time and place.

It was as familiar and easy to use as if it were memories he had accumulated over decades.

Having mastered this vast amount of appraisal knowledge, Chen Xiangbei had an urge to immediately go to the antique street to practice, but thinking it was already late at night, he gave up on this idea.
