101: Public opinion polls? How about we create a series of them?

Who would have thought this was another broad road leading to riches!

Su Yu had previously followed the suggestions of his live stream fans primarily to bring more popularity and buzz to his channel.

But this time it was different.

Fans were urging him to create currency, which could directly generate profit!

Didn't many people want to bid high prices for the 100,000 yen banknote as soon as it was made?

This shows there's a market for it!

It's worth noting that ever since he obtained the system, Su Yu's focus had always been on the entertainment value and content of his live streams.

Content determines traffic, and traffic determines income; this statement is indeed correct.

However, from the recent few live streams, it's clear that his content is indeed captivating, and his popularity has grown.

Yet, the amount of money he ultimately earned wasn't much.

Compared to his previous destitution, at least he no longer had to worry about making a living.

So, to earn more money, Su Yu decided he must make good use of this task and strive to achieve a small goal first.

After determining his next live stream content, Su Yu decisively chose to end the broadcast and rest.

Unknowingly, he had streamed for another seven or eight hours today.

Although he appeared unbothered in the live stream, without a flushed face or racing heart, maintaining full concentration and high mental tension was very tiring.

After ending the broadcast, Su Yu was so exhausted that he just lay on the bed, not wanting to get up.

He wished the system reward could give him a body that never tired. Then, let alone streaming for seven or eight hours, he could even handle twenty-four hours straight.

However, before closing his eyes to sleep, Su Yu still mustered his energy to post a simple survey on his personal homepage.

Since he was going to create his own original currency, the layout design, artistic style, and image content would all be crucial factors in determining the currency's popularity.

As for anti-counterfeiting technology... that was less important.

After all, with the system's rewards, the one thing Su Yu currently had in abundance was various anti-counterfeiting technologies.

Moreover, the use of anti-counterfeiting technology is based on the currency's ability to generate corresponding value, and it's a restriction imposed by countries to prevent people from trying to gain an unfair advantage, having no deep relation to the currency itself.

"Brothers, what elements do you hope to see on our original currency? If you have any good suggestions, please leave a comment in the comments section."

"The Streamer will randomly adopt comments with high likes or high replies for use."

After posting, Su Yu tilted his head and, overcome with sleepiness, drifted off... When he woke up again, it was already noon the next day.

Feeling refreshed after a good sleep, it would have been even better if his stomach wasn't rumbling with hunger.

Su Yu felt he could still sleep for another half day.

He chose not to eat at the street food stalls downstairs; the taste of the few things he ate last time was still vividly etched in his memory.

He wondered if the stall owners' cooking skills had improved over these past few days.

If they still performed at their usual level, Su Yu seriously suspected that no one in the community would patronize their businesses anymore.

He ordered a KFC family bucket, but it took nearly two or three hours before the doorbell rang.

During that time, Su Yu was so hungry he saw stars, drinking two large glasses of water. When he opened the door to get his takeout, he didn't even see the delivery person.

After eating the delicious fried chicken, Su Yu finally had the mind to open his personal homepage and check it.

Currently, his Kuaishou Platform followers had exceeded three million and were still increasing at a rate of 100,000 new followers per hour.

Two-thirds of these followers subscribed after watching his live streams. The remaining one-third came through various live stream clips widely circulated on the Kuaishou Platform.

Su Yu opened his live stream community.

This feature can only be activated when a platform's followers reach one million.

In Su Yu's live stream community, fans could speak freely, posting various topics or information.

Essentially, it was a small forum exclusively for him.

Last night's survey was posted by Su Yu here.

At this moment, the replies under the survey had already approached 200,000 messages.

"Streamer, currency must use portraits. Since it's our own original currency, it definitely has to use your portrait! Just like the 3D holographic strip in that 100,000 yen banknote!"

"Agreed! But the portrait could be more innovative, not look so ordinary."

"What the heck! Since it's self-created, why should it be as conventional as currency in circulation? How boring!"

"Exactly, exactly! The currency the Streamer creates isn't actually meant for transactions, so why make it so formal? I think it just needs to be creative and fun! For example, we could print the Streamer's meme images on the currency!"

"Pfft! What the heck is a meme image! Then I suppose we could also print the Streamer's famous live stream scenes? Like the dog bowl bombing the drone, hand-making missiles, rockets saving airliners..."

"Hey, that's a great idea! I think it's really good! I vote for it!"

...Watching the enthusiastic discussions of the audience in the community post, Su Yu's smile was harder to suppress than an AK.

These fans' words are so pleasant to hear, so enjoyable! Say more!

But back to the main topic.

Regarding what to draw on the front and back of the currency and what artistic style to adopt, Su Yu still saw a few answers he was quite satisfied with.

For example, a suggestion from a Level 17 fan named [Who Cooks Fish].

If the Streamer wants to create currency, Huaxia Country has many excellent traditional designs that can be readily used. For example, Huaxia Country's mythological system, various ancient deities, or the monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Then, a suggestion from a Level 15 fan named [Please Say Thank You].

The front and back of currency usually feature two different pictorial designs; typically, the front is a figure, and the back is a landscape or architectural ruin.

As a student who graduated with a degree in ancient architecture, his greatest wish is to one day see Huaxia Country's world-class imperial garden—the Old Summer Palace—restored!

Even if its glory is only recreated on the back of a coin!

Alright! In that case, Su Yu now had an answer in his heart regarding the design of the original currency's patterns.

Discarding traditional figures for the front, he would use monsters from the Classic of Mountains and Seas or ancient myths as the main subject. For the back, he decided to depict Huaxia Country's miraculous architecture or highly iconic landscapes.

He would select themes that complement each other and have a high degree of compatibility for original hand-painting.

The currency would be divided into denominations of 10, 20, 50, and 100, following the national currency of Huaxia Country. Four notes would form a set for depiction.

He wanted to create a unique currency in this world!

A set of currency belonging to Huaxia Country, and a set belonging to himself!
