Protagonist:

Lu Feng

Lu Feng suspected he had misheard.

Splitting half of the fans' gifts with himself and cashing them out came to over eighty thousand?

Factoring in the platform's cut, that meant fans had sent gifts worth two or three hundred thousand in a single livestream!

"Uh... livestreaming makes that much money?" Lu Feng felt his throat go dry, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

Xiao Feilong said with a smile: "Actually, today was also my highest-earning time; I was shocked myself. Usually livestreams don't have this much; one session nets only a few thousand yuan."

Lu Feng silently calculated in his head: a few thousand yuan per session, over a month that would be over a hundred thousand.

Not being envious would be fake.

Lu Feng momentarily wanted to become a livestreamer too, but immediately gave up the idea.

He knew himself well enough; his personality was originally not good at dealing with strangers, so being a livestreamer was completely unsuitable for him.

Besides, Lu Feng also knew that being a livestreamer wasn't easy—having to come up with ideas and please fans; the money wasn't little, but the pressure wasn't small either.

Food anchors were even more so; judging by Xiao Feilong's figure, this money was entirely exchanged by sacrificing his health.

Lu Feng still remembered seeing a news story online not long ago: a food anchor with several million fans, who passed away before thirty due to long-term binge eating.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng couldn't help but remind Xiao Feilong a few times to pay more attention to his health in the future.

Xiao Feilong was still immersed in the joy of the livestream's great success, casually agreed, then transferred the money to Lu Feng.

Seeing Xiao Feilong off, Lu Feng quickly locked the shop door and ended today's business.

Almost impatiently returning to the rental house, he flopped onto the bed and summoned the system.

【Ding! Congratulations Host on completing the first-week mission!】

【Mission Reward: Cash 1 million, distributing reward...】

【Reward distribution complete, please check!】

At the same time, a text message notification came from Lu Feng's mobile phone.

"Warm Reminder: Your Industrial and Commercial Bank of China account ending in 2135 has been deposited yuan."

Seeing the balance in his bank card, Lu Feng was overjoyed.

Feeling happy, he no longer felt sleepy, and opened his mobile phone to play games for a while.

More than ten minutes later.

Looking at the two characters "Failure" displayed on the mobile phone screen, Lu Feng couldn't help but think resentfully:

It must be because this broken phone is too laggy; I'll replace you tomorrow!

Early the next morning, Lu Feng woke from a beautiful dream.

The first thing after opening his eyes, Lu Feng picked up his mobile phone and checked the bank card balance again.

Seeing that long string of numbers, his mind instantly became extremely clear.

After washing up in a flash, Lu Feng locked the door, hailed a taxi, and headed toward Food Street.

Before going to the shopping mall to shop, he still had one thing to do.

Arriving near Food Street, Lu Feng got out of the car and told the driver to wait for him there for a while.

The driver was originally somewhat unwilling, but when Lu Feng handed over a hundred-yuan bill, he immediately smiled and agreed.

Lu Feng quietly returned to the front of the shop, looked around, and found no one nearby.

Then he took out a pre-printed A4 paper from his pocket, stuck it on the shop door, and immediately ran away.

Lu Feng ran back to the taxi gasping for breath and quickly motioned for the driver to drive.

Seeing his state, the driver thought he was being chased; his inner potential exploded instantly, he stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi shot out like an arrow leaving the bow.

More than ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the largest shopping mall in downtown Jiang City.

Lu Feng paid and got out of the car, then walked straight into the mobile phone store inside the system mall.

Just as he stepped into the door of the Apple phone specialty store, a beautiful female staff member in uniform politely came up and asked: "Sir, hello, are you here to buy a mobile phone?"

Lu Feng nodded and glanced at the latest model phones displayed on the counter.

The beautiful female staff member smiled sweetly, handed the phone to Lu Feng, and began introducing the phone's functions.

The staff member introduced very professionally, and gave a more detailed introduction to the issues Lu Feng cared about.

"That's enough, I want this model; please get me a new one."

Lu Feng took the phone and played with it for a while, nodding in satisfaction.

This new phone was indeed different; it didn't lag at all when used, and was far better than his old clunker that he had used for five or six years.

"Sir, buying a phone now supports trade-in; your old phone can be used to offset the cost of the new one."

For a customer like Lu Feng who was straightforward, the beautiful female staff member's service was still very attentive.

"Forget it, my old phone is still usable."

Lu Feng knew that his old clunker, even if depreciated, would be worth only a few dozen yuan at best; it was better to keep it as a souvenir.

"Okay, sir, do you need to buy any other electronic products?"

Lu Feng scanned the store with his eyes, then walked toward the computer section.

The beautiful female staff member quickly followed, patiently introducing the few laptops Lu Feng seemed interested in.

Lu Feng had originally planned to buy a desktop computer, but seeing the looks of those laptops in the store, he immediately changed his mind.

He knew computers to some extent and understood that at the same price point, a desktop's specs are higher than a laptop's.

But laptops win on portability, and they don't take up space in a room.

After carefully comparing the specs of the several laptops on the counter, Lu Feng ultimately chose this year's latest model.

This one had the highest specs, the largest memory, and was also the thinnest and lightest.

Naturally, the price was also the highest, over ten thousand for one unit.

But this amount of money was no longer anything significant to Lu Feng.

A few minutes later, Lu Feng walked out of the shopping mall carrying the laptop and mobile phone.

In the past, he would never have been willing to spend this much money all at once.

But now with over a million lying in his bank card, spending it didn't feel painful anymore.

Back at the rental house, Lu Feng impatiently opened the computer and also bought the recently explosively popular game, playing with great enjoyment.

One hour later.

Looking at the big-headed doll's lively and vigorous appearance on the computer screen, Lu Feng felt extremely stifled.

What kind of game is this, why is it so hard to beat!

He couldn't pass the first level after playing for an hour.

"I just don't believe it!"

Lu Feng's stubborn temper flared up; he couldn't even be bothered to eat lunch, vowing not to rest until he beat this arrogant big-headed doll down.

Evening, six o'clock.

The several people from Jiangcheng University Dormitory 203 arrived early at Food Street.

Since today was Saturday, they came a bit earlier than usual.

Just as they arrived at Food Street, from far away they saw a large crowd gathered at the Lu Family Restaurant entrance.

Walking closer, they could faintly hear a few desperate wails.

"What's going on? Hurry, let's go look!"

The few from Dormitory 203 looked at each other, and for some reason each felt a faint ominous premonition in their hearts.

By the time they reached the Lu Family Restaurant entrance and squeezed into the crowd to see the A4 paper pasted on the shop door, every single one of them was dumbstruck.

Only to see a few large characters printed on the A4 paper:

"Due to overwork, after the shop owner's deep consideration, it has been decided: Saturday and Sunday temporarily closed, do not miss us!"
