Fire Gold Sea.
After leaving the Heavenly Weapon Secret Realm, Yue Hao ascended into the sky and burst out of the sea.
His mind probed the signal sign he was carrying, and in a flash, the live broadcast changed, showing a vast sea reflecting the early morning sun, shimmering and beautiful!
At the same time, Yue Hao didn't forget to explain and introduce the topic enthusiastically.
"This is an inland sea in the Heavenly Martial Realm, still a long way from Martial Star."
"Next, I will cross the North Sea Domain!"
"However, I still have some official business to attend to, which is not convenient to disclose. Today's live stream ends here. I will resume the live stream for everyone after I finish my business and enter Martial Star!"
As he spoke, Yue Hao had a thought and shut down the connection.
He was somewhat impulsive, but he also understood the importance of things and knew he couldn't let them affect the overall situation of Horse Road Mountain.
Yue Hao hovered above the Fire Gold Sea, waiting for Ning Chuan to arrive.
However, as soon as he ended the live stream, a voice with an inquiring tone rang out.
Were you live-streaming just now?
Ning Chuan stepped out of the void and came within ten meters of Yue Hao, looking him up and down with great interest.
He didn't see any filming equipment on the other end.
"Who?!"
Yue Hao felt a chill run down his spine, an uncontrollable coldness sweeping over his entire body, and he was filled with fear!
To be approached silently by a living being is undoubtedly extremely dangerous!
If the opponent possesses advanced assassination skills and launches a sudden attack, he will be placed in a very passive position!
Immediately afterward, Yue Hao recognized the newcomer and his gaze faltered. He suppressed his imposing aura and asked incredulously, "You are... Ning Chuan?"
"Right."
Ning Chuan nodded calmly.
His Void Law did not change due to the revival of the Martial Star, but the earth-shattering primal Force naturally caused the power of the Law to surge by a large margin, which is not surprising as it deceived a genius of the Sea Realm.
Upon hearing this, Yue Hao's tension eased somewhat, but his shock remained.
He knew that Ning Chuan possessed a Third-Grade Law that could conceal one's aura, but he never expected that even he could be deceived and remain undetected!
He is an outstanding genius of the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom!
"With just this one skill of concealment, plus some assassination techniques, Ning Chuan will be considered a powerful figure for a long time to come!"
"Such an existence, yet the Sixth Master wants me to try and subdue him, to make him a follower..."
"It's a bit difficult, but that suits me just fine. A challenging task brings a greater sense of accomplishment, and who knows, I might even get a big reward..."
Thoughts raced through his mind, but Yue Hao's expression remained impassive. He smiled kindly, nodded, and answered Ning Chuan's earlier question, saying, "That's right, I'm live-streaming!"
As he spoke, Yue Hao raised his hand and twirled it, taking out an ancient-looking token. He explained, "This is a signal token from the Universe Broadcasting Group. It can connect to the network, enabling the group's invisible surveillance capabilities and live streaming. It's extremely convenient."
"Learn."
Ning Chuan nodded thoughtfully.
He recalled the subtle, almost imperceptible sense of being watched when Nie Yang ambushed him outside the Heavenly Martial Realm, which was exactly the same as what Yue Hao had felt during his live stream just now.
The battle that day was likely discovered by the Universe Broadcasting Group.
However, Ning Chuan couldn't be sure whether Nie Yang had started the live stream.
Over here, Yue Hao glanced at Ning Chuan and pondered, "I heard from Sixth Master that you're quite interested in Universe live streaming?"
"Good."
Ning Chuan readily admitted it.
Yue Hao replied truthfully, "With your talent and strength, the Universe Broadcasting Group should not refuse."
Signing a live streaming contract is not a problem for you.
However, I can't say for sure what level of contract it will be; it depends on the attitude of the person in charge of this Martial Star live streaming project.
Ning Chuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "What are the typical levels?"
"Roughly speaking, they can be divided into three categories."
Yue Hao thought for a moment and explained, "The first tier is the simplest. You just need to buy a signal board and you can stream freely. But there's no signing fee or revenue sharing. The only income is from viewer donations or some personal advertising, but it won't be much. The group doesn't promote the first tier contracts, so very few people know about them."
"The second tier includes both signing fees and revenue sharing, but the differences between them are huge."
With the idea of subduing them in mind, Yue Hao explained with exceptional seriousness, saying, "The third tier is extremely rare, both ancient and modern, and there aren't many points to be awarded in total. It's a customized contract that the group gives to super strong individuals and some monstrous talents, with incredibly generous terms!"
Yue Hao specifically emphasized that in history, there have been beings who, upon signing a contract, obtained First-Grade Law Spirit of Law Comprehension or a complete set of Divine Art!
A glint of light flashed in Ning Chuan's eyes.
Seeing this, Yue Hao seemed to understand his thoughts, shook his head helplessly, and said, "The third-tier contract is just a dream, don't be too sad!"
The conditions for obtaining it are extremely stringent!
Many unparalleled geniuses are not qualified!
Ning Chuan smiled, offered no explanation, and instead asked, "You have a second-tier contract?"
"Right!"
Yue Hao nodded, not forgetting to demonstrate his strength to Ning Chuan. His expression was smug as he confidently declared, "Among the second tier, my contract is considered high-level, equivalent to a Heaven Realm expert who General-Bestowing!"
"I can receive this amount of the livestream revenue that the Universe Broadcasting Group earned from me!"
Yue Hao held up one finger.
"One-tenth?"
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow and commented, "No wonder Chu Longye said the Universe Broadcasting Group is a bit shady."
What are you thinking about!
Yue Hao's face stiffened, realizing his preparations had been wasted. He glared at Ning Chuan and said irritably, "It's one percentage point!"
"Forehead..."
Ning Chuan blinked.
He began to understand Chu Longye's feelings.
One percent of the profits!
And this is a relatively high-level contract!
It's no exaggeration to say that it's like leaving a wild goose behind – they only give the signed streamers a single penny.
"Of course, I also know that the Universe Broadcasting Group is truly shady!"
Yue Hao shook his head, but showed no resentment, saying, "There's nothing we can do. It's like a monopoly; only the live streaming platforms under the group can broadcast to multiple parts of the Universe."
"Moreover, as a broadcaster whose main focus is exploration, I often encounter danger, and only the Universe Broadcasting Group has the capability to broadcast live from here."
Yue Hao spread his hands, saying helplessly, "If I switch to other live streaming platforms, they either can't capture my movements, or the filming equipment gets torn apart by the aftershocks of the battle, so there's not much of a live streaming effect. Offering more revenue sharing won't help."
Ning Chuan nodded slightly.
The pricing and bargaining power are both in the hands of the other party, making equal negotiation difficult.
Yue Hao continued, "The majority of the income for anchors signed with the Universe Broadcasting Group comes from tips, since they reach countless beings across the Universe, including many wealthy and powerful individuals!"
Ning Chuan raised an eyebrow, surprised, and asked, "A powerful figure giving a reward?"
Yue Hao had anticipated this and explained with a smile, "Normal strong individuals certainly wouldn't pay too much attention to live streams, but those who are nearing their end and have no hope of advancement usually won't struggle anymore and will choose to settle down and enjoy life to the fullest."
"One of my wealthy viewers, named Black Mountain Patriarch, is Nebula Realm expert—that's him!"
Yue Hao's tone was tinged with pride as he said, "The tips he gave me alone are almost enough to buy a Second-Grade Law Spirit of Law Comprehension. Considering that the Universe Broadcasting Group takes 70%, and considering the actual cost to the Black Mountain Patriarch, you can imagine that even Heaven Realm General-Bestowing expert would need to accumulate that much over many years!"
