044. Tuan Tuan: Let's play a pineapple!

[Game Program Modifier]: Modifying Fantasy Westward Journey. Please enter specific modification program. In progress. Completed!

Within minutes, Jiang Siming's bank card received two messages:

"Your card ending in 6624 received ¥3,500,000 on June 4th at 23:11. Balance: ¥9,348,540.22. [ICBC]"

Another message was a congratulatory note from ICBC, informing him that his card had been automatically upgraded to a Diamond Membership Card, granting him VIP access for future transactions and complimentary access to various wealth management products.

Jiang Siming ignored the congratulatory message and simply chuckled at the newly added 3.5 million.

Making money was just too easy!

Fantasy Westward Journey was NetEase's most profitable online game. It had been operating for over a decade and remained popular, with top-tier game accounts and equipment holding immense value.

The most expensive account had even sold for nearly ten million on the market!

Jiang Siming had used the modifier to create a top-tier account in the game without anyone noticing, then loaded it with a bunch of rare equipment before selling it on the market.

He made a clean 3.5 million in less than ten minutes, completely undetected.

If he hadn't been worried about attracting suspicion by being too aggressive, Jiang Siming could have easily generated an account worth over ten million.

This modifier was truly Black Technology.

From now on, Jiang Siming could easily pocket a huge sum of money every two weeks with this tool. It was perfect!

Jiang Siming's account currently held over 9.4 million in savings.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of wistfulness, remembering how he was just a broke college student who couldn't even afford rent a few days ago.

Now that he had money, Jiang Siming's first thought was of his family.

However, it wasn't easy to explain how he made this money to his parents. They definitely wouldn't believe him if he just said he earned it playing games.

Especially since he had already sent them 100,000 yuan just two days ago.

After some thought, Jiang Siming decided to wait until he went back for the Mid-Autumn Festival to tell his parents the truth. Explaining it over the phone would be too difficult.

With that settled, Jiang Siming contentedly held Wang Xinyi as they drifted off to sleep.

Jiang Siming was unaware of how many hearts his new songs had touched on that lonely night.

A game streamer had written two songs, and both were incredibly popular.

This also led to Jiang Siming's first appearance on the Weibo hot search.

"A singer-streamer delayed by gaming, original singer of 'Zou Ma' and 'Yi Ge Ren Qu Ba Li' - Ming #WeiboTopic"

This Weibo post started from the very bottom and climbed its way into the top ten that night. By morning, it had reached eighth place.

Weibo had also uploaded the audio for his two songs, and the download count on the platform surpassed 600,000 overnight.

Many people on Weibo were requesting the official versions, as the live recording versions had quite a bit of background noise and rudimentary melodies, which caused 'unbearable pain' for many perfectionists.

The next day, upon learning about this, Jiang Siming spent half the day finding a recording studio and paid to produce the full versions of both songs.

He then uploaded them to major music platforms, not charging for them and not seeking any royalties.

This made all the music platforms very happy, as Jiang Siming saved them a lot of money by providing the songs for free.

As a result, major music platforms featured both of Jiang Siming's songs prominently, and their download numbers surged.

However, Jiang Siming didn't have time to pay attention to that.

Because at that very moment, he had received an official invitation from the 4AM team!

Following yesterday's discussions, 4AM had decided to accept Jiang Siming's conditions and extended a formal invitation to join their team.

In addition to agreeing to Jiang Siming's terms, Wei Shen, one of the shareholders of 4AM, personally offered Jiang Siming an annual salary even higher than that of the former player Gu Cun.

Five million yuan per year, excluding tournament prize money, competition subsidies, and other benefits.

Wei Shen even excluded advertising income from Jiang Siming's package. This treatment was arguably the best offered within any PUBG team, bar none!

Facing such an invitation, Jiang Siming accepted without any hesitation or negotiation.

Starting today, Jiang Siming was officially a member of the 4AM team.

As soon as he started his stream, Jiang Siming shared this news with his viewers.

"He's really going to 4AM! Replacing the orphan (Gu Cun)?"

"Ming Shen's sniping is ten times better than that ungrateful Gu Cun!"

"Exactly! Welcome, Big Boss Ming, to 4AM. We're looking forward to the matches!"

"Forget the matches for now, the National Strongest Streamer Competition is starting in a couple of days. Are you participating, Ming Shen?"

"You have to participate! Win the title of Strongest Streamer and gain both fame and fortune!"

Jiang Siming had only just learned about the National Strongest Streamer Competition.

It was a PUBG streamer event jointly organized by Shark, Huya, YY, Penguin, and other major top-tier streaming platforms.

The top ten streamers would not only receive generous cash prizes but also achieve widespread recognition.

Even if you were a small streamer, if you could make it into the top ten, you would undoubtedly become a focal point and gain massive popularity.

Last year, a similar competition was held. In the end, four of the top ten spots were on Huya, two on YY, three on Penguin, and Shark had a rather awkward single spot at tenth place.

Professional players were not allowed to participate in the competition at that time, so Shark's OMG and 17 were unable to join.

However, this year, several platforms have agreed to allow professional players to compete, as long as they are streamers.

After all, it's an individual competition, and professional players aren't necessarily much stronger than others.

This year, Shark is full of ambition and intends to wash away last year's shame.

"We will participate, everyone don't worry," Jiang Siming gave them a definite answer, which finally put the audience at ease.

As soon as he logged into the game and YY, Jiang Siming saw a YY message from Tuan Tuan.

"Little Ming Bro, do you have time to play games with me now? Pretty please. (Crying face emoji) x10."

Seeing this, Jiang Siming pulled her into the YY channel.

The moment Tuan Tuan saw Jiang Siming, her wronged emotions immediately erupted.

"Little Ming Bro, wuwuwu"

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Jiang Siming asked, confused.

"Wuwu~~" Hearing Jiang Siming ask, she became even sadder.

"I played all day today, parachuting all day. Sniffle (complaining) In the last match just now, I encountered someone. He just hid behind that box and refused to come out. He insisted that I go over first, and then I was at a disadvantage (annoyed). When I was at a disadvantage, he killed me. I only killed one viewer all afternoon. I'm playing Pineapple!"

Who could understand Tuan Tuan's grievances!

She poured out her troubles to Jiang Siming, but Tuan Tuan noticed that Jiang Siming not only didn't comfort her but seemed to be holding back laughter.

"Little Ming Bro, you're bullying me too, sob sob sob"

Jiang Siming suppressed a smile and comforted her, "It's okay, I'll carry you. I'll let you lie down, alright?"

"No!"

"?"

"I want to carry myself! I want to kill people too!"

"Okay, let's start then."

The two clicked start and entered the game.

Still in the lobby, Tuan Tuan punched the air to vent her frustration, still dwelling on the disadvantageous death in the last match.

"Little Ming Bro, I'm telling you, next time I meet someone like that, I won't move either. I'll just see who has money for internet (acting cute). Anyway, my family doesn't pay for internet outside. I'm using internet at home, and our electricity bill is super cheap (pouting)! At worst, I'll just wait him out for a whole night! (Angry)"

Her fierce yet cute tone made Jiang Siming both amused and exasperated.
