Cash Power

"A pale yellow dress, fluffy hair."

"Taking my hand to see the latest oil paintings on display!"

"An empty street, in an empty house."

"Only I was left to party alone!"

"Just treat it like a dream..."

The big brother who had tipped a Super Rocket spoke up. It was not as if he had asked her to sing some suggestive song, so Mu Yu gritted her teeth and accepted.

She searched for the song's accompaniment on her phone and tried to imitate the original singer's style from memory.

Since she was not very familiar with the song, she stumbled a little at the beginning.

But after singing a few lines, the young female streamer gradually found the rhythm.

Making gestures with her hands, she got more and more into it as she sang.

The flavor of rap was there.

Most of the Fish Ball gang who had just entered Mu Yu's livestream had already slipped away before she began singing.

But a few stayed behind and listened as Mu Yu finished melody.

"Not bad, not bad."

"Followed. Keep it up, streamer!"

"Sing another one."

"The streamer's really good. I'm a fan now."

"Fish Balls incoming."

On Sailfish Live, the atmosphere in different sections was vastly different.

Compared with the demons-and-monsters chaos of the looks section, the performance section undoubtedly had a much better atmosphere.

What people liked there was the streamer's talent.

Sing well, play wonderfully, dance brilliantly, and people would support you.

If you also had outstanding looks, or were eloquent and emotionally intelligent, your popularity would be no worse than that of the famous streamers in the looks section.

"Not bad."

Another sitewide announcement!

Mu Yu was stunned.

Just moments ago, she had been fretting that she had not performed well enough and regretting never having practiced this song.

Yet she had actually received a second Super Rocket!

And both Super Rockets that had appeared one after another were for her. Her livestream instantly became bustling again.

"666!"

"Big bro is mighty and domineering!"

"So generous, so generous."

"Awesome, awesome, awesome!"

Watching the barrage flood the screen, Gao Jing finally understood why some people became so addicted to livestreams that they could not pull themselves free.

They would empty their savings, even borrow money or sell blood, just to tip streamers.

It was nothing more than vanity at work.

Gao Jing smiled and typed on the keyboard: "You sang well, but there's no soul. I want to hear the emotionless recitation version."

Mu Yu's speechless expression immediately filled the livestream with barrages of "hahaha."

She went all out too, expressionlessly "singing" melody once more.

It actually had quite a bit of the right spirit.

[g93 gifted Mu Yu 3 Super Rockets. Come grab the treasure chest~~~]

He clicked three Super Rockets in a row in one breath.

Using the complimentary loudspeaker, Gao Jing encouraged her: "I believe in you. Keep it up!"

After sending his final blessings and encouragement, he cleanly exited the livestream and closed the webpage.

Although he did not see the livestream explode into chaos—

Nor did he see streamer Mu Yu burst into tears on the spot—

The feedback from the Copper Anchor made Gao Jing understand that his ten thousand yuan had not been spent in vain!

Adding flowers to brocade was far inferior to delivering charcoal in snowy weather.

If Gao Jing used five Super Rockets to tip a popular top streamer, at most he would receive a few words of thanks and flattery.

There was no point expecting much genuine sincerity in them.

But giving them to an unknown little streamer like Mu Yu, while cheering her on and encouraging her...

The continuously increasing Faith Power was the best proof!

Gao Jing's preliminary test on the Sailfish Live platform could be called a resounding success.

Cash Power truly was extraordinary.

It was just that his energy was limited for now, so he merely had a taste and did not continue any deeper.

When the deed was done, he brushed off his sleeves and left, hiding neither merit nor fame!

Pulling out a can of beer and cracking it open, Gao Jing took two swigs.

Then he began a new task.

He transferred the footage shot by the GoPro onto his computer for storage and encrypted it with encryption software.

In particular, anything involving Chronicle of the Great Wilderness received key protection.

The complete Chronicle of the Great Wilderness totaled fifty-nine pages and fully recorded the Great Wilderness human race's thirty thousand years of history.

To Gao Jing, the value of this ancient text was immeasurable.

He had to study it carefully.

He worked until very late before going to bed.

The next morning, Gao Jing first went out for two hours of morning exercise.

Although his physique was now several times stronger than before, the habit of exercising had seeped deep into his bones.

He neither wanted nor needed to change it.

Through exercise, Gao Jing could better control his body.

After returning from his workout and taking a shower, he went out for breakfast.

Then he got his hair trimmed.

Gao Jing did not go to Tony's, lest the latter find the speed of his hair growth strange.

It would be troublesome to explain.

In fact, he had already ordered an electric clipper from JD.com the previous night, intending to trim his own hair in the future.

That way, when he traveled back and forth to the Great World in the future, he would not arouse suspicion because of his hair.

A careful sailor could sail for ten thousand years; details mattered.

By the time he was done, it was nearly noon. Gao Jing hailed a taxi by the roadside and headed for Vientiane City.

Once he arrived at Vientiane City, he headed straight for the third floor.

The third floor of Vientiane City was home to numerous luxury boutiques. World-famous luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Chanel, Armani, and Dior all had stores there.

Gao Jing had visited Vientiane City before, but he had never browsed these big-name stores.

He would not even spare them a glance.

If he could not afford them, he would not look. Much less would he go inside to try things on or test them out.

A very typical straight-man way of thinking.

But this time, Gao Jing entered Hermès first.

He knew little about luxury brands. He chose Hermès simply because its store was closest to the escalator.

Despite it being his first time entering a luxury boutique, Gao Jing did not feel the nervous unease he had imagined.

It felt as though he had been there hundreds or thousands of times already and had long since grown accustomed to it.

"Welcome to Hermès."

A sweet-looking saleswoman approached him and asked with a smile, "Hello, sir. May I provide you with shopping assistance?"

Gao Jing said, "I'll look around first."

The saleswoman's smile widened. "Of course. Please feel free. If you need anything, you can call for me at any time."

The sales staff at these big-name stores all received strict training and would not do something as crass as looking down on people through dog eyes.

At the same time, their eyes were often sharp. They could usually tell at a glance whether a customer intended to spend.

On the surface, Gao Jing did not look like a luxury-brand customer, and there was not a single valuable item on him.

Yet this saleswoman could tell that he had come seriously to buy something.

That was why her attitude was especially warm and sincere.

The facts proved that her judgment was not wrong. Gao Jing spent only a few minutes in the menswear section.

Then he picked out a new set of "equipment" for himself.

A white mesh cotton crew-neck T-shirt with saddle-stitch topstitching, priced at 2,500.

A pair of cement-gray twill cotton loose-fit trousers with an elastic waistband, eliminating the need for a belt, priced at 5,700.

And a pair of calfskin sneakers for 5,950.

The three-piece set came to a total of 14,150.

Gao Jing tried on each item and found them quite satisfactory.

He paid immediately.

Hermès did not offer discounts.

But the store was running a recent promotion, and purchases over a certain amount came with a box of three pairs of underwear.

In less than half an hour from start to finish, Gao Jing had been completely transformed from head to toe.

His overall attractiveness suddenly rose by another 0.5!

That was how powerful and all-encompassing Cash Power was.

The second update is here.
