The Tipping King: How I Mastered Live-Stream Alchemy

“Ugh…”

A pounding headache from a hangover made Jiang Feng’s head feel like it was about to explode.

Anyone who’s ever had a wild night of drinking knows the feeling.

When you drink too much, especially when you go all out, the next day your eyelids feel like they’re glued to your eye sockets.

It feels like a string is pulling straight through the back of your head, wrapping around your skull a few times.

That sensation… it’s absolutely brutal!

“Damn it, that lady last night was relentless, five times in one night!”

“Really left no room for a break, huh…”

Jiang Feng thought back to yesterday, gritting his teeth.

…

Jiang Feng, a guy with a dash of good looks, was a top real estate agent, always the sales champion.

Yesterday, to close a deal on a 7-million duplex apartment, he was taken out for drinks by a client, a lady.

She called it “accompanying.”

But really, it was a trap.

A 28-seat business round table with 108 glasses of liquor lined up like a snake.

Even the waiter pouring the drinks was stunned, hesitating at the door, wondering if he should call 911.

But could Jiang Feng back down?

Absolutely not!

It wasn’t just about the 7-million deal; the lady had said, “Xiao Jiang, do you see the card under the 108th glass?”

“Room card for the Imperial Heaven Hotel, room 808, the ultimate test.”

“Pass the test: two suites!”

She smiled like a blooming flower.

The life of the wealthy is just that straightforward, all about having fun.

“Sis, don’t worry, I know the rules.”

Jiang Feng, without a hint of hesitation, picked up the glass and drank!

He had been an orphan since childhood, never felt family love, and had been working odd jobs since he was 12. He learned early on that in this world, only making money is real; everything else is nonsense!

Just 108 glasses!

Won’t kill me!

Drink!

Jiang Feng drank and laughed.

“This one, to your eternal youth, sis! Cheers!”

“This one, meeting is fate, may you always smile, sis! Cheers!”

“This one, …”

One hundred and eight glasses, one hundred and eight blessings, not a single repeated phrase.

If a salesperson like Jiang Feng didn’t have this level of eloquence, he wouldn’t have survived in the business.

After 108 glasses.

Jiang Feng stood there, holding his ground, his smile unchanged.

As for the outcome…

At the Imperial Heaven Hotel, the beautiful client not only played him at the table but also physically.

…

“At least the deal was signed in the end…”

Jiang Feng shook his slightly tipsy head, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, feeling a bit dazed.

Wait a minute! Where’s my beautiful client?

Where’s my Imperial private suite, with the cozy couple’s waterbed?

What is this cheap rental room?!

Jiang Feng’s eyes went blank again.

A few seconds later.

As a wave of unfamiliar memories flooded his mind.

Jiang Feng muttered, “Did I… transmigrate?!”

No excitement.

No disappointment.

Jiang Feng’s first thought was-damn, did I drink all that for nothing last night?!

Turns out it wasn’t just the lady playing me…

She played me and didn’t even pay up!

[Ding! A transmigrator detected, binding system in progress…]

[Congratulations, host, for binding with the Golden Hustle System!]

“???”

Jiang Feng was stunned. A system? Did it just say… Golden Hustle System? So straightforward?

[According to the Transmigrator’s Law, this system has a 99.9999% compatibility with the host…]

Jiang Feng couldn’t help but chuckle, “You really know me well, huh? Thanks!”

[You’re welcome.]

Great, it’s a semi-intelligent system.

Jiang Feng asked, “So, what can you do?”

[This system is dedicated to helping the host with the Golden Hustle through live streaming. As long as the host starts a live stream and receives gifts, completing the system’s daily goals will earn random rewards.]

[Rewards are completely random-skills, items, information… anything is possible!]

Jiang Feng snapped his fingers, “Got it! So I start a live stream, people send me gifts, and if I complete the tasks, I get rewards. Is that it?”

[Yes, host.]

[Generating data interface…]

[Name: Jiang Feng]

[Age: 23]

[Physique (Strength + Agility composite rating): 7.5↓]

[Stamina (Endurance + Recovery + Durability composite rating): 7.3↓]

[Appearance (Charisma + Charm + Looks composite rating): 8.8↓]

…

[Current Golden Hustle Level: Lv1 (0/5), upgrade after completing 5 Golden Hustle missions!]

[Today’s Golden Hustle Mission: 0/3000]

[Task completion grants a Lv1 random reward.]

…

“This stamina is lacking… way worse than my past life.”

Jiang Feng sneered, “What’s with the downward arrow?”

[The host has been in a sub-health state for a long time, resulting in a gradual decline in physical fitness…]

“……”

It’s true!

This body, aside from its looks being on par with his past life, is inferior in every other aspect.

[Would the host like to start the live stream?]

“Not yet, I need to prepare.”

Jiang Feng ignored the system’s urging. Is hustling money that easy?

Sure, the Kings have money, but they’re not fools. Why would they just throw money at you?

You need something to catch their eye, right?

“I’m heading out…”

Jiang Feng rummaged through his things, finding a pitiful savings of over 1000 yuan¹ based on the memories left in his mind.

He quickly went out to shop…

Clothes, sunglasses, phone stand, lighting, props… and even got a new hairstyle.

Once everything was ready, Jiang Feng looked at his refreshed self in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

From a down-and-out young man to a somewhat handsome “little wolf dog.”

“Let’s start the stream!”

…

Sound Wave Platform.

Currently the largest live streaming platform on Blue Star.

Various pretty girls were striking poses, and calling it a “carnival of demons” wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

“Thanks to the King for the sports car~ Love Bombs to you~”

“Wow~ King, I want another hot air balloon~ Please, King~”

“Send me a hot air balloon, and I’ll dance for you~”

Damn.

That voice was tighter than grandma’s old foot binding cloth!

Even a fly couldn’t get a leg in.

With over 100,000 viewers frantically liking, the intoxicating night was getting to people.

And you know what, some Kings are really into this.

Hearing the coquettish and innocent teasing from the female streamers, they immediately sent several hot air balloons flying across the screen.

However, Sun Chen found all this extremely boring… He was the No.1 King for 36 female streamers, with a Sound Wave Level of 49, and usually enjoyed hearing female streamers call him “Daddy.”

One “Daddy” for a Carnival, the more provocative the call, the more he liked it, all about flaunting wealth.

But today, he was in a bad mood.

Mainly because a female streamer he used to support seemed to have gotten a bit arrogant or something, refusing to dance for him?

What the hell?

When I was supporting you, you called me “Daddy” so sweetly.

Now that your live broadcast room is popular, you’re acting all high and mighty?

Who are you fooling?!

Damn it!

Sun Chen was fuming, and that female streamer, along with a few other Kings in the live room, provoked him, saying he should send more gifts to show his strength… Did they really think he was a sucker?

I’m done playing with you!

Sun Chen exited the live room, refusing to send any more gifts. He wasn’t going to be a fool.

But…

Even though he left the live room, he had nowhere to vent his anger!

Sun Chen gritted his teeth, thinking about which girl’s live room to unleash his frustration on.

Suddenly!

A live room name caught his attention instantly!

[Golden Hustler, Ending at 3000!]

Sun Chen laughed in anger, “Alright, alright, these streamers aren’t even pretending anymore, blatantly hustling? Just my luck to run into me tonight… you’re in for it…”
