1: Listen to advice and you'll eat your fill?

December 24th, Southern Little New Year.

Blue Star, Chongqing.

A bus drove on the winding mountain road, like a slow-crawling snail. Although the speed was not fast, the veteran driver could still perform a 'hearse drift' from time to time.

Sitting on the bus home, Su Yu listened to the passengers' gasps and curses, lost in thought.

Although the temperature in Chongqing in December was close to 0 degrees Celsius, snow only fell in high-altitude mountainous areas.

And this Yuxi Road happened to pass through a high-altitude area, which was his essential route back to his hometown every year.

Although there was no snow on the road this year, the low temperature still caused ice, and even normal driving often resulted in skidding.

However, Su Yu's mind was not on this at the moment; he was completely preoccupied with the first live stream after returning home today.

Su Yu was twenty-three years old this year, a college graduate. His parents left him when he was young, and he had lived with his Old Lady since childhood.

After graduating from college, he, in his youthful vigor, like his other classmates, chose to stay in the big city with full enthusiasm, hoping to carve out a career for himself.

However, after two months of struggle, his food and clothing were precarious.

After more than half a year of struggle, he was homeless.

After a year of struggle, he was so poor that he almost couldn't even afford underwear.

Fortunately, Su Yu's appearance was quite good.

A female classmate from college, seeing how miserable he was, introduced him to a Streamer job.

The Streamer was a talent Streamer signed with an MCN agency, with no base salary, purely based on performance.

Su Yu did not disappoint; relying on his stiff movements and poor eloquence, after wasting two months of the contracting company's time, he was successfully abandoned.

Now he had become a true, free, talent Streamer.

His daily job was to go live and earn some meager tips to cover his daily expenses.

However, there was always a way out, just now.

A 'ding' sound rang in Su Yu's mind.

It was as if he heard celestial music!

He knew, the System had arrived!

brother tongzi was late but here!

Su Yu carefully checked and found that the System he obtained was called the 'Listen to Advice System'.

As the name suggested, the System's ability was also very simple.

As long as he listened to people's advice, he could receive various rewards.

However, these rewards were also tiered. The System would judge based on the social recognition of his actions after listening to advice.

The more people approved of what he did after listening to advice, the better the rewards he would receive.

As the saying goes, 'listen to advice and eat your fill.' Su Yu said that as long as he could eat his fill now, he would listen not only to people's advice but even to ghosts' advice!

"Wu County has arrived. Passengers getting off, please take your luggage and be careful of slippery roads."

"The vehicle will stop for three minutes before continuing its journey to Feng County. Those getting off, hurry up."

The bus driver's urging voice sounded, followed by a heavy brake, which directly threw Su Yu, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, forward.

He had arrived.

Su Yu, having come back to his senses, got off the bus with his backpack.

His main purpose for returning home this time was to visit his Old Lady and celebrate the New Year. Therefore, he didn't bring much luggage, only his live streaming equipment.

Walking on the street, the biting cold wind made people shiver uncontrollably.

They say the North is very cold, often minus ten degrees or more. But little do they know that although the South's temperature may not reach below zero, the damp cold can freeze you to the bone.

Back home.

Su Yu chatted with the Old Lady for a while. The Old Lady was in good spirits, asking this and that. It wasn't until she asked why her eldest grandson hadn't brought a girlfriend home this year that he finally couldn't take it anymore.

He brought out his best cooking skills, made a table full of delicious lunch, and finally managed to silence her.

After they finished eating, Su Yu informed her, packed his luggage, and left home with his live streaming equipment.

Although the New Year was approaching and he wouldn't earn much, he still couldn't neglect his work.

The county town was not big, but it had a stronger New Year's atmosphere than the big city, which was something everyone in the country could see.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still many people coming and going on the streets. Some were buying New Year's goods, some were buying new clothes, and some were playing mahjong in the roadside teahouse.

Su Yu tidied his hairstyle, opened his live stream, and aimed the camera at himself.

"Brothers, good afternoon! The Streamer has successfully landed back home."

"I am currently in Wu County, Chongqing. Where is your hometown, Brothers? Everyone, you can type the location of your hometown in the public chat."

Su Yu skillfully started interacting.

Although he was just an unknown Streamer, the platform's traffic was fair; as long as he went live, a continuous stream of new traffic would be pushed in.

These small Streamers, though inconspicuous, could also get a little share.

Besides, after streaming for so long, Su Yu also had a few loyal fans.

However, for some reason today, his loyal fans didn't come in immediately when he went live.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu simply changed the title of his live stream to: "Listen to Advice Streamer, specializing in listening to advice! One lollipop lets you enjoy a smooth, ultimate luxury service!"

These days, there were title-baiters everywhere. If a title didn't hint at something provocative, no one would click in.

After more than two months of being 'beaten' by live streaming, he now deeply understood this secret.

Sure enough.

After he changed the name, it wasn't long before people started entering the live stream one after another.

"Listen to Advice Streamer? Interesting. Does 'lollipop' mean 'do whatever you want'?"

"Upstairs, this is a green live stream! I now have reason to suspect you're being inappropriate! Arrest him!"

"Streamer, I advise you to cherish your life! Now, immediately perform a backflip for me!"

"Today I want to see how 'ultimate' this ultimate service is?"

Lollipop + 1

In the blink of an eye, the live stream became lively.

Although there were only a few people, seeing the Streamer's title, someone still sent a lollipop.

One lollipop was only ten cents.

According to the platform's 50/50 split, Su Yu would get five cents in his pocket.

Doing anything for five cents.

At this price, it was no wonder the profession of Streamer was jokingly called 'online beggars' by netizens.

This money wasn't even enough to send away the beggar on the roadside who was curiously watching his live stream.

But Su Yu didn't mind.

He didn't change the title like this today to make money.

He simply wanted fans to make various requests to encourage interaction. Otherwise, if no one advised him, where would he get mission rewards?

"Thank you, flower blooms for wealth 2333, for the lollipop!"

"What performance would you like to see, my friend?"

Su Yu's face was wreathed in smiles, and he smoothly panned the camera around the surrounding street.

flower blooms for wealth 2333: "Streamer, this must be in the countryside. The New Year's atmosphere is so good! Much better than where we are."

Su Yu: "It's just a small place, not worth mentioning, making you laugh, Big Brother! Just tell me what show you want to see."

flower blooms for wealth 2333: "Huh? Did I see correctly? Was there firecrackers being sold at that roadside stall the Streamer just passed?"

flower blooms for wealth 2333: "Fireworks are forbidden in the city. I haven't played with these things for many years. I used to blow up dog bowls and cow dung when I was little. Streamer, can you perform blowing up cow dung later? If there's no cow dung, blowing up a dog bowl is fine too."

"Ding! Detected someone has made a suggestion to the Host!"

"Mission: Fulfill Big Brother 'flower blooms for wealth 2333's request to blow up a dog bowl in the live stream. Upon completion, the System will rate it based on social recognition and randomly issue rewards!"

"Time limit: 120 minutes"

Hearing the System prompt in his mind, Su Yu's face broke into a wide smile.

See, the mission had arrived.
