The Tipping King: How I Mastered Live-Stream Alchemy

[Lv51 Release: “???”]

[Lv51 Release: “Old Bai?! Long time no see, what’s up with you…?”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Just wanted to chat. I haven’t been hanging out in Moli’s live broadcast room lately, so you haven’t seen me.”]

[Lv51 Release: “I was wondering why I hadn’t seen you. Where are you hanging out now? Take me with you.”]

The life of a King is just that simple and unpretentious.

For a streamer, they might only have one King in their corner.

But for a King, being the No.1 supporter for dozens of streamers is not uncommon.

It’s like an emperor in ancient times choosing which concubine to visit; where to go today depends entirely on the King’s mood.

Of course, more often than not, during a certain period, a King might really enjoy spending time in a particular live broadcast room.

In such cases, the King would visit daily, and the streamer would try every trick in the book to keep the King around, or at least make the most of the King’s interest while it lasts.

That’s exactly how Moli treated Sun Chen.

Moli’s live broadcast room already had its regular Kings. When Kings like Sun Chen or Release were drawn in, Moli’s usual strategy was to maximize their value-like engaging them in PK battles or games that encouraged them to send gifts.

However, Moli didn’t expect that the day she set up a scheme with a few Kings, Sun Chen would see right through it.

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “I’ll keep you guessing about where I’m hanging out. Did you just send gifts in Moli’s live broadcast room?”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Haha, how does it feel to be caught up by that girl? Not great, right?”]

[Lv51 Release: “…??”]

[Lv51 Release: “Damn, were you in the live broadcast room just now? Using a smurf account???”]

[Lv51 Release: “That’s shameless, isn’t Moli your streamer? You were lurking and didn’t say a word, setting me up, that’s too much!”]

[Lv51 Release: “Ah, but never mind. Since Old Bai, you’re here to mediate, it would be petty of me to hold a grudge… Just let Moli know, it’s water under the bridge. I’ll drop by her live broadcast room and send some gifts later.”]

Release clearly misunderstood.

He thought Sun Chen was there to mediate.

Sun Chen had been in Moli’s live broadcast room for quite some time before Release showed up.

Now that Sun Chen was reaching out, wasn’t the implication clear?

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Haha, don’t get the wrong idea. I was in a live broadcast room, but not Moli’s, and I’m not here to mediate for her…”]

[Lv51 Release: “Then what are you…?”]

Release was a bit confused, not understanding what Sun Chen was up to.

Sensing the timing was right, Sun Chen typed with a grin.

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Do you remember the streamer who was doing a PK with Moli just now…”]

Release paused, then his eyes widened.

[Lv51 Release: “Whoa!!! You were in the other live broadcast room!!”]

[Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: “Hahaha, didn’t see that coming, did you… Let me tell you, this streamer is really interesting…”]

Sun Chen recounted how he stumbled upon Jiang Feng’s live broadcast room, how he pranked the guy, and eventually became impressed by Jiang Feng. He also explained why he left Moli’s live broadcast room, among other things. By the time he finished, his mouth was dry, and Release finally understood.

“Lv51 Release: ‘…No wonder, no wonder you disappeared. So you went to the newbie’s place…'”

“Lv51 Release: ‘Really? Is this guy as amazing as you say?'”

Release was skeptical. It sounded too good to be true. He knew streamers were all about the Golden Hustle, but for Kings like them, that little money was nothing. Yet, a place where you could enjoy yourself and spend comfortably, as Sun Chen described? He found it hard to believe.

“Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: ‘Absolutely, bro. Trust me, that’s all you need to do. This guy’s streaming again tomorrow. Why don’t you create a small account and check it out? It doesn’t cost anything to make a new account…'”

Release pondered.

“Lv51 Release: ‘No, I only have this one account. Since you put it that way, I guess I’ll have to see for myself tomorrow…'”

“Lv49 Chenmu Yuebai: ‘Haha, alright then. I have something to do tomorrow, so I won’t be there. You go ahead, you won’t be disappointed!'”

“Lv51 Release: ‘Alright…'”

Meanwhile, Jiang Feng had no idea that the King Sun Chen found for him was Release from the rival live broadcast room. He was happily daydreaming about whether a new King would show up tomorrow.

“What makes a true King!”

“This is it!”

His past experiences not only gave Jiang Feng top-notch emotional intelligence but also a keen eye for people. He could easily distinguish who was a true King. The simplest example was that a true King enjoyed the atmosphere and games in the live broadcast room and was willing to pay for these emotional values. In their minds, spending money was for entertainment. Gifts worth thousands were no different from spending at a bar or KTV.

In contrast, fake Kings were different. Their mindset was on a different level; they couldn’t grasp the concept of paying for emotional value. Deep down, they didn’t understand this.

True Kings enjoyed supporting the live broadcast room, wanting to see it grow bit by bit because it gave them a sense of achievement. Fake Kings, on the other hand, wished they were the only ones in the room. Spend $100 on a sports car, and they expect you to chat with them all day. Spend $200, and they ask for your contact info. Spend $500, and they want to meet for a meal.

In short-spend the least, do the most controlling things.

Jiang Feng had a way to deal with such people: bring out a true King! When a true King meets another true King, they get along splendidly. When a fake King meets a true King, they feel inferior.

Ahem, I digress.

Back to the matter at hand.

Jiang Feng looked at the reward from the latest gift package-

“Rare Level: Perfect Body Buff”

“Duration: 7 days”

“Effect: During the Rare Level: Perfect Body Buff, exercise and diet have a 30x effect! During the Buff, recovery rate increases by 200%, endurance by 200%, and strength by 200%!”

“Evaluation: The first step to becoming a male god starts with exercise~”

“Whoa!”

Jiang Feng nearly spat out his drink, his eyes wide with amazement. This Buff was incredible!

A 30x exercise effect boost!!

And during the Buff, there were various boosts to strength, recovery, and endurance!

Isn’t this the legendary innate training holy body???

One day’s effect equals a month!

Seven days is seven months!

Plus, with all the recovery abilities… Unbelievable! Truly worthy of being the Perfect Body provided by the system!

Eight-pack abs, V-lines… not a problem at all!

The only catch is that this Buff requires you to exercise; if you just lie there, it won’t have any effect.

Is Jiang Feng lazy?
