186: Chapter 186 We still need to work harder.

The "Group Streaming Star" event launched by the official Douyin platform lasts for one month.

The first week is for warm-up and registration, and all Livestream Rooms participating in "Group Streaming Star" can receive a topic traffic package.

Therefore, once this event was launched, almost all group streaming Livestream Rooms chose to register.

Especially those group streaming Livestream Rooms set up by overseas companies; they were looking forward to this event starting as soon as possible.

They arrived late, and they could just use the event's topic traffic to heat up their own Livestream Rooms.

With the explosive performance of "I Want to Form a Group," all entertainment capital believed that group streaming would be the next internet trend.

This was also the reason why they actively participated.

It was precisely because of the entry of this entertainment capital that the original domestic group streaming ecosystem was disrupted.

With entertainment industry capital entering the fray, it was nothing less than a dimensionality-reduction strike for amateur streamers.

Especially those from Japan and South Korea, who shamelessly brought in their trainees.

Even domestic entertainment companies followed suit and brought out their own trainees.

The several top domestic group streaming agencies also felt the pressure, and they all gathered all their resources, preparing to stand out in this official event to maintain their status as top group streamers.

And what made these capital players value this so much was naturally the explosive popularity of "I Want to Form a Group."

How could they not know about the grand occasion of the "I Want to Form a Group" finale livestream?

The topic of the "Ten Billion Goddess" is currently at its hottest.

It was precisely because "I Want to Form a Group" created the "Ten Billion Goddess" that everyone participated regardless of the cost, wanting to take advantage of the official event to create their own "Ten Billion Goddess."

It was precisely because of this unsparing investment that the quality of group streaming Livestream Rooms improved by more than just one level.

Viewers who like group streaming suddenly discovered that the beauty filters in the Livestream Rooms were turned off, yet the streamers became even more beautiful. The dancing was better and had more quality, and there were even streamers who were good at both singing and dancing. How did it suddenly seem to become so high-end?

So group streaming could be like this?

Then what was I watching before?

Today is the second day of registration for the "Group Streaming Star" event.

All of Star-Shine's groups had registered early, including Starlight X.

Of course, Miaomiao, Rou Rou, Duorou, Peach, and Yuyuan had also registered.

According to incomplete statistics from the official Douyin, there were nearly 50,000 group streaming Livestream Rooms that registered for this "Group Streaming Star" event.

Among them, 80% of the group streaming Livestream Rooms were newly established.

Among these, less than 30% were new Livestream Rooms opened by various entertainment capital companies, and the remaining 70% were basically just making up the numbers.

Some were even group streaming Livestream Rooms temporarily formed by just finding two or three people at random.

The goal was naturally to get this wave of traffic packages provided by the official platform, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to grab a wave of traffic.

With so many Livestream Rooms, most of them would fall in the second week's advancement competition.

But even so, they still wanted to give it a shot.

At least there is still two weeks of exposure time, right?

What if they get popular?

Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?

After Zhang Shan returned to the villa from the company, he opened Douyin and clicked into the "Group Streaming Star" event page.

[Ding, the civilization where the host resides has mastered the key technology of a Level 1 civilization. The system is about to upgrade.]

[Ding, system upgrading... 1%]

[Ding, system upgrade successful. Please view the upgrade log (very important).]

[Ding, the system store is now open.]

Zhang Shan was a bit confused by this sudden system upgrade, and he quickly opened the system panel to check it.

[Host: Zhang Shan] [Age: 26] [Height: 188cm] [Weight: 185 jin] [Reward Funds: 990 Billion] [Bound Streamers: Miaomiao...] [Rewards Obtained: Nuclear Power...] [Intimacy Points: 26+2 (exchangeable)] [System Store Entry] [System Upgrade Log]

Zhang Shan first checked the system upgrade log. After all, since the system prompted that it was very important, he had to figure out what changes occurred after the system upgrade.

After reading through it, the changes after the system upgrade were not small...

First, the favorability rewards Zhang Shan had obtained previously allowed Earth to master the key technologies of a Level 1 cosmic civilization; this was the key to triggering the system upgrade and was also inevitable.

Because all the rewards were given by the system.

The system also detailed the levels of cosmic civilization in the upgrade log.

The levels of cosmic civilization are divided into nine grades. Level 1 civilization is a planetary civilization, capable of mastering the resources and transformation of a planet.

Level 2 civilization is a stellar civilization, mastering all energy and resources of a star system.

Level 3 civilization is a galactic civilization, Level 4 is a universal civilization, and Level 5 is a multiverse civilization. As for the civilization levels above that, the system did not introduce them, only providing the classification of levels.

Perhaps the system doesn't know either?

Zhang Shan couldn't guess randomly. It might also be that higher-level civilizations were too far away from him, so the system didn't introduce them to him.

Besides the Level 1 to Level 9 civilization levels, there is actually a Level 0 civilization.

Earth previously was at a Level 0 civilization.

It was precisely because Zhang Shan shared those super technologies he obtained with the country that it was evaluated by the system as having entered a Level 1 civilization.

Besides this, the basic functions of the system did not change; it would still provide Zhang Shan with reward funds. However, it seemed that the novice period had ended, and after the system upgrade, Zhang Shan would no longer obtain favorability rewards from streamers.

Although favorability rewards were gone, a new feature called Intimacy Points appeared.

These Intimacy Points are actually the currency for the system store. To buy anything in the system store, one needs to pay Intimacy Points.

As for how to obtain these Intimacy Points?

It's very simple. As long as Zhang Shan rewards streamers or even has intimate interactions, he can obtain Intimacy. Intimacy can be exchanged for Intimacy Points, and the exchange ratio is 1000:1.

Although the exchange ratio is a bit low, for streamers like Miaomiao who carry rewards, after intimate interactions, he can directly obtain Intimacy Points.

Zhang Shan did a quick calculation: Peach, Miaomiao, Duorou, Rou Rou, Winnie Bear, Yuyuan, Lin Wanwan, Xi Xi, Haha, Xuexue, Su Qi, Wanzi, Xiaoyu...

Hmm, there are 13 people who have had intimate interactions with him, and he currently has 26 Intimacy Points.

Calculating this way, each person gave him 2 Intimacy Points.

Plus the additional 2 points that can be exchanged, after working so hard for so many times, he only got 28 Intimacy Points.

Why is it so little?

Zhang Shan complained in his heart.

He immediately opened the system store; he wanted to see what he could buy with the 28 Intimacy Points he had obtained with so much effort.

The interface of the system store was extremely simple, listing various black technologies for upgrading to a Level 2 civilization.

Like Dyson Sphere technology, anti-matter energy extraction technology, faster-than-light spaceship technology, warp drive technology, interstellar mining platform technology, stellar energy cannon technology, gravitational wave communication technology, and so on.

Of course, the purchase prices for these technologies were also different.

The most expensive one is the Dyson Sphere, which requires 50 Intimacy Points, and the cheapest one is the interstellar mining platform technology, which also requires 10 Intimacy Points.

Zhang Shan looked at the system store and suddenly felt that he was still very poor.

With only 26—oh... 28 Intimacy Points, wanting to see the magnificence of the universe, these Intimacy Points were not enough.

It seems he still needs to continue working hard.

If he wants to accumulate Intimacy Points quickly, it's best to go find those like Miaomiao.
