Chapter 2: The Sudden Appearance of a Wealthy Beauty Streamer

Xia Huajiao felt a sudden jolt of surprise. She hurriedly took off her clothes, and when she opened her eyes again, there it was—it had reappeared.

Furthermore, the income from the scrolling comments was continuing to rise.

Excellent. It seemed that slacking off while listening to livestreams could actually help her make money!

She closed her eyes in delight and washed her hair, which had been left in a tangled mess by the electric shock. A few minutes later, she finished washing, opened her eyes, and her gaze brightened intensely.

What a wonderful surprise!

The bonus from the comments had actually surpassed 5,000 yuan!

This handsome, high-profile streamer was amazing. In just this short amount of time, he had helped her earn thousands. If she kept this up for another few dozen minutes, wouldn't she be able to hit a daily income of over 50,000?

Xia Huajiao’s face beamed with joy. She quickly applied some cheap body wash and enjoyed a blissful hot shower.

"Hmm, once I get rich, I’ll upgrade my phone, buy a new laptop, get a house and a car, and stock up on L'Occitane, Estée Lauder, Dior..."

She washed happily, and by the time she finished, dried off, and styled her hair thirty minutes later, the income from the comments had reached 125,180 yuan after taxes.

The corners of Xia Huajiao’s mouth curled up, unable to be suppressed.

The popularity of this handsome streamer was truly immense, and he was quite the conversationalist, making her comment income far exceed expectations!

She was no longer the broke, penny-pinching Cinderella!

She quickly and happily withdrew the funds.

Just as the money hit her account, she heard "Tao Sounds As Usual" laughing in the livestream, "Brother 6-1, Moonlit Radiance was probably just here to observe earlier; she’s likely gone by now!"

Hm?

Xia Huajiao quickly focused her attention on the livestream room.

Tsk, tsk. That "Brother Loves Beauties 111111" from earlier had posted another comment: [Where is the little streamer Moonlit Radiance? You said earlier you wanted to learn from Brother Tao, are you still here?]

This person was a bit meddlesome.

But Xia Huajiao immediately typed in the chat: "Yes, I'm here!"

"Brother Loves Beauties 111111": [Oh? You’re actually still here? Well, after listening for so long, did you gain anything?]

Xia Huajiao typed back: "I gained a lot!"

A prompt appeared before her eyes: [You have interacted sincerely with another's commendatory comment for the first time; the reward for this comment is doubled!]

Oh, Xia Huajiao was pleasantly surprised.

Sincerity for money—that was great!

"Brother Loves Beauties 111111" then commented again: [Gained something? Then shouldn't you show some appreciation?]

Like this?

Xia Huajiao was a bit surprised.

She saw the popular streamer "Tao Sounds As Usual" look at his screen, then shake his head with a chuckle: "Brother 6-1, don't scare her off. She’s still a newcomer! Moonlit Radiance, you don't have to listen to him. Feel free to keep watching my stream, no need for any displays."

Hmm, this netizen "6-1" was likely a friend of "Tao Sounds As Usual," not wanting his friend to be taken advantage of for free.

Fortunately, this streamer "Tao Sounds As Usual" was decent and had given her a graceful way out.

Another emperor-level netizen, "Greatness in Tolerance," posted a comment: "6-1, don't incite netizens like that in the future; it’s easy to cause trouble for Tao!"

Well, it seemed these three knew each other!

And the character of this "Greatness in Tolerance" seemed more like that of an old-school official?

Xia Huajiao felt a bit more favorably toward this "Greatness in Tolerance" and immediately replied: "It's alright, I truly did gain something, and appreciation is due! Just a moment!"

She quickly topped up 11,000 yuan, upgrading her status to a VIP Duke, even though it required a 5,000 yuan monthly fee.

She then gifted the streamer "Tao Sounds As Usual" ten "Collector's Rockets," worth 1,000 yuan each, and typed: "Many thanks for the guidance, Brother Tao. I am deeply grateful; please accept this small token of my appreciation."

Since Brother Tao had inadvertently helped her earn over a hundred thousand yuan, she naturally didn't mind sharing ten percent with him!

At his membership level, he would likely earn over 7,000 yuan from these 10,000 yuan worth of gifts, right?

Once the gifts and the comment were sent, she watched as her status appeared in the room with the flashy effects of a Duke, and a sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart.

As a rookie streamer, a 10,000 yuan tip should be respectable enough!

On the screen, "Tao Sounds As Usual" couldn't help but narrow his eyes in surprise, a glimmer of astonishment appearing in his handsome gaze.

Afterward, Xia Huajiao’s comment was rewarded with another 21 yuan!

Seconds later, many netizens began flooding the chat.

[Damn, a beautiful tycoon streamer has appeared!]

[Moonlit Radiance is a pretty streamer! As a newbie, she drops 10 rockets right away. Brother Tao, you've got some serious face!]

[Brother Tao, a rich and beautiful streamer has come to show support. You know what to do next!]

[Brother Tao, Moonlit Radiance is so generous, why don't you two add each other and chat privately? Remember to screenshot the friend request and post it in the room!]

[Moonlit Radiance is a Duke, too! Amazing! Do you think our Brother Tao is super handsome?]

"Brother Loves Beauties 111111" also unexpectedly posted: [Little beauty streamer, I was just joking—you took it seriously? I admire you!! Brother Tao, the little beauty is great, she's worth befriending, hurry up and add her!]

There were so many netizens watching, and so many typing, that in these few dozen seconds, she had earned nearly 20,000 characters' worth of comment revenue.

Her wave of tipping had effectively paid for itself!

Tsk, tsk, Brother Tao really had a lot of fans.

Xia Huajiao raised her willow-leaf eyebrows with a wry smile, enjoying the pleasure of having money to spend.

As for the teasing and banter from these netizens, she didn't take it to heart.

"Brother Loves Beauties 111111," seeing her drop so many Collector's Rockets and calling her a "little beauty," was likely a wealthy second-generation heir who didn't care about a mere 10,000 yuan!

It was a pity that she didn't want a public figure as a boyfriend; that would be too exhausting!

Therefore, even if "Tao Sounds As Usual" was quite handsome, she wouldn't let anything develop between them.

She saw "Tao Sounds As Usual" raise his sword-like eyebrows on the screen and say with a laugh: "Thanks to streamer Moonlit Radiance for the Collector's Rockets! I wouldn't call it 'guidance'; let's just say it's an exchange between peers! When you start your own streams later, I'll go check them out too!"

"Also, folks, I have something to take care of shortly, so I'll be logging off in a few minutes. I won't be streaming again until tomorrow night! Interested netizens are welcome to come back!"

Xia Huajiao immediately typed: "Thank you, Brother Tao. I wish you many fans and great prosperity in the future! I have things to do as well, so I'll sign off now!"

She had decided that from now on, whenever this capable and lively handsome streamer "Tao Sounds As Usual" went live, she would try her best to show up and support him!

If he could bring her over a hundred thousand yuan in comment income every time he streamed, she wouldn't mind tipping ten percent every time!

Afterward, she decisively exited the livestream room and happily withdrew her money.

Just as the funds arrived, her streaming backend pinged—it was a friend request from "Tao Sounds As Usual."

Xia Huajiao quickly accepted it and sent a private message: "Brother Tao, I learned a lot from watching the stream today, thank you. I'll come back to learn more tomorrow night!"

Soon, "Tao Sounds As Usual" replied: "You're too kind. Let's learn from each other. See you tomorrow night."

Xia Huajiao lay on her bed contentedly, turned on the electric fan, enjoyed the cool breeze, and opened the Goose Factory video app.

Just then, the landlady called.

She quickly picked up: "Aunt Chu, don't worry, I'll pay you the rent in a moment."

According to the rental contract, she had to give a month's notice before moving out, or she would lose the 3,000 yuan deposit.

Sacrificing 1,000 yuan to save 3,000—she could still do that math!

Aunt Chu, however, sounded very apologetic over the phone: "Miss Xia, I'm so sorry. Something happened at home and I'm short on money. I've already sold this place to someone else. The transfer was officially completed this morning, but I was so busy I forgot to call you."
