3: First live broadcast
(Streaming is only occasional, and the content is just swiping through videos; he won't be performing any talents~)
Since all the money in Li Youqian's pocket had been "scammed" away by the system, his top priority was to get some emergency funds.
Rent was due in a few days, and he only had five packs of instant noodles left. He didn't want to borrow money from others, so after much thought, he decided to start a live stream.
Although he didn't have any talents, he had a lot of money!
He couldn't stream anything else, but streaming to give gifts? Anyone with hands could do that!
At that time, if an audience member casually gave some gifts, it would be enough for him for the time being.
And what if a boss was struggling to give gifts alone? If he helped out at that moment, wouldn't that create a connection?
With a connection, would he still be afraid the boss wouldn't give him some gifts?
Although he couldn't be a Bai Piao, he could induce bosses to give him gifts!
(PS: Bai Piao means a gift proxy; the cost for a boss to ask a Bai Piao to help give gifts is lower.)
No sooner said than done!
Li Youqian opened the Douyin account provided by the system, and sure enough, the System Brother had already topped up one million on this account.
As for why he chose Douyin, it was because the rewards from Douyin streams could be withdrawn immediately after the stream ended.
Furthermore, Douyin's traffic is currently the largest among live streaming apps, which is more conducive to providing emotional value to the system.
Li Youqian looked at the ten million Douyin coins in his account and decided to change his name to something "domineering."
Im Really Rich! Yes, that's the invincible, awesome ID Li Youqian came up with.
As for the room name, it was even simpler and more direct:
"Take You to Experience a God-Tier Tycoon's First-Person Perspective: Challenge to Reach Max Level in Less Than a Month."
Li Youqian chose not to show his face during the live stream, opting instead for a screen-only broadcast. Showing his face was too risky; there were many rich people on Douyin, and they could easily find his information.
He would be exposed immediately.
So, his live stream screen only showed a dazzling ten million Douyin coins, with the account displaying level zero.
(Douyin coins are also diamonds, and the exchange rate with RMB is 10:1. Friends who have played Douyin live should be familiar with this.)
"System Brother, can I give these gifts to anyone, or are there specific requirements?"
Li Youqian had quickly read up on some similar novels, which often had strange settings, such as only being able to give gifts to beautiful women. So, he specifically asked the System Brother.
"No, you can give gifts to whoever you damn well please. It's none of this system's business even if you give them to a sow!"
"This system only wants emotional value, understand?"
Understood!
This kind of setting was quite good. If it was stipulated that he could only give gifts to beautiful women, he would have to find a way to explain it to the audience, and it wouldn't be conducive to him gaining popularity. After all, there were many rich women on Douyin~

[ (15) I Love Free Stuff entered the live stream room. ]
....
(PS: [ ] represents a viewer entering the live stream room, and the number in ( ) represents the Douyin level, representing giving gifts.)
(42) Wind Forest Grass Wood: "Streamer, what big talk, reaching max level in a month?"
(42) Wind Forest Grass Wood: "WC!! These Douyin coins!! Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, Dad, dear Dad, Grandpa! I'm sorry, Big Brother, I was blind!"
Wind Forest Grass Wood was a university student with tens of thousands of yuan in pocket money each month. He had also spent over a hundred thousand on Douyin, but he had truly never seen anyone top up a million yuan right off the bat!
Perhaps this was a true tycoon!
On Douyin, while there were many max-level tycoons, many of them were guild accounts and corporate advertising accounts.
This was the first time he had seen a Big Brother like this who opened a live stream just to give gifts.
"Received Wind Forest Grass Wood's shock value +380, received I Love Free Stuff's jealousy value +850, received..."
The system's cold broadcast kept coming, and Li Youqian hurriedly interrupted:
"Stop, stop, stop... System, don't read out the emotional value. It'll make the handsome readers think someone is just padding the word count."
"Just give me a summary every night."
"Okay... No, wait, it seems this system is your boss!"
This dog host wants to rebel!
Li Youqian ignored the system's barking and said:
"Welcome, brothers, to the live stream room."
"What kind of streamer am I? As you can see, I'm just a big gift-giver with no emotions."
"brothers can type the female streamers you want to see on the public screen. I'll choose the one with the most votes to give gifts to, to benefit my brothers."
Although there were only a few dozen people in the live stream room at the moment, upon hearing Li Youqian's words, the comments instantly exploded.
[ (42) Wind Forest Grass Wood: "Streamer, watch Wan'er! Wan'er's dancing is simply amazing!"]
[ (15) I Love Free Stuff: "No, no, no, Big Brother upstairs, you're wrong. If you want to watch dancing, you have to watch Xiao Yaojing. Her eyes, her figure, it's just four words: captivating and soul-stirring!"]
[ (27) I'm Not a Pervert: "Bah, you guys have no taste. If you want to watch, you have to watch Bo'er. That's what I call a surging tide!!"]
....
Watching the names constantly pouring out on the public screen, with a hint of an argument brewing, Li Youqian couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Alright, alright, brothers, don't argue. We'll check each room one by one. If the brothers are satisfied, I'll give her more gifts."
"brothers who are able, please join my fan club. I'll occasionally stream to give benefits to my brothers."
"Follow the streamer, don't get lost, the streamer will take you to watch a s-dance."
[ (42) Wind Forest Grass Wood sent the streamer - Im Really Rich a fan light board x 1 (1 diamond) ]
[ (15) I Love Free Stuff sent the streamer - Im Really Rich a fan light board x 1 (1 diamond) ]
...
Although he hadn't received any big gifts, all these small gifts combined amounted to several steamed buns by now.
He wouldn't starve tomorrow, that's good.
"brothers, let's set off! Let's first go to the live stream room of the first person named Wan'er."
Li Youqian stopped talking nonsense and directly searched for the name Wan'er on the search page, but there were too many people with that name, and Li Youqian didn't know which one it was.
[ (42) Wind Forest Grass Wood: "Streamer, the third one! The third one is Wan'er!"]
What? You mean everyone else isn't Wan'er?
Could they be ghosts instead?
After grumbling to himself, Li Youqian directly clicked into "Wan'er's" live stream room.
At this moment, Wan'er was in a PK battle with someone and was the weaker party. The person she was PK-ing with was a female streamer named "Is Qing'er."
Both of them had beauty filters on, but not excessively so. Their looks were quite good; at the very least, they weren't someone a "poor guy" like Li Youqian could get involved with.
"Her waist is indeed thin, but it's a shame she's sitting so I can't see her legs."
"Her face is alright; overall, I'd give her an 8.5."
"As for the biggest deduction... she'd be hard to hold at night!"
After a careful appraisal, Li Youqian expressed his opinion.
[ A big shot is a big shot, truly someone who has seen the world, unlike me, just a country bumpkin! ]
[ Such stunning beauty, yet only an 8.5? ]
[ In a big shot's eyes, a 9 or above can probably only be achieved by female celebrities in the entertainment industry, right? ]
9 points? Li Youqian had no idea how beautiful someone with 9 points or above would be. The most beautiful person he had ever seen was the landlord, Xiao Dan....
The reason he said that was just to maintain his persona.
After all, what rich man would look like a pervert upon seeing a beautiful woman?
