SRGA Chapter 14: I'm Willing!
"Extra! Extra! Huayin has enabled video appreciation for the big shot! Let's pool some money and get him a better erhu."
"Masked Hero's erhu is indeed average. He can't fully display his skill with it."
"I'm in. Even a penny is true love."
Lin Tian had over three million followers, and many fans were watching his videos. It didn't take long for the news of the appreciation function to be discovered.
The appreciation feature on Huayin was relatively new, and not many people used it. The earnings for creators weren't high either.
In Lin Tian's opinion, earning a hundred or eighty yuan a day would be good enough.
In a certain courtyard in the capital city,
An old man was basking in the sun while browsing short videos. Most of the recommendations from the big data were traditional art videos, but most of them didn't interest him.
"Huh, Masked Hero has a new video?"
The old man pushed his glasses up. He liked the erhu and had a collection of instruments in this category, but his skill was very average.
"It sounds good!"
"He's probably better than half of the masters out there."
"The effect would be even better if he used a better erhu."
The old man exclaimed in amazement after watching a video.
The performer was young and had such skill.
"Huh."
After watching the video, the old man scrolled through the comments section. In the previous few videos, he had seen comments from Wu Lao and the others.
"Son, come here."
The old man quickly dialed a number, and soon a middle-aged man appeared before him. "Dad, what's up?"
"What does this appreciation video mean?"
The old man pointed to some comments in the comments section and asked.
"Dad, it's simple. It means giving gifts to this video, and the creator can earn some income."
The middle-aged man explained quickly.
The old man's eyes lit up. "So that's how it is. Recharge one million for me and give it as a gift to this young man."
"What?"
The middle-aged man was stunned. "Why do you want to give so much money as a gift?"
The old man glared, "I'm willing to. You guys spend so much money on frivolous things every month. Why are you feeling stingy when I spend a little money?"
"How come when I spend a small amount, you feel so distressed?"
The middle-aged man quickly shook his head, "Dad, I'll do it right away."
One million wasn't much for them. The courtyard they lived in wouldn't sell for less than ten billion.
"Uh..."
"Dad, there's a problem."
"The appreciation feature only has three options: one copper coin, one silver coin, and one gold coin, which represent one cent, one yuan, and ten yuan, respectively."
"There's no option to choose the quantity."
The middle-aged man said.
The old man frowned, "Can you give multiple gifts?"
The middle-aged man tried it and nodded, "Yes, Dad, you can."
The old man stood up, "You're idle anyway. I'll leave this to you. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room for a nap."
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded.
He had just recharged one million, and he could only give ten yuan at a time. Did he have to give a hundred thousand times to give away all one million?
"Dad, if he starts live streaming, you can give gifts quickly."
"You start with ten thousand."
After the old man finished speaking, he went into the room.
The middle-aged man wore a troubled expression. Ten thousand gifts would still require a thousand times.
"Alas!"
He sighed deeply.
He could only follow his father's instructions. His father was old, but he still controlled half of the family's assets.
...
"Director, there's something unusual with Masked Hero's account."
"Someone keeps giving him appreciation, and the total amount has exceeded ten thousand."
Zhang Han reported to Director Fang Zhengming.
Fang Zhengming's expression changed. "Who is giving him the appreciation? Is it deliberately violating the rules to inflate data?"
"Cough, Director, I can't access that information with my permissions."
Fang Zhengming's expression became serious. Zhang Han was a third-level supervisor, and not having access to the information meant that the other party's identity was extraordinary.
"I'll check it myself."
As a second-level director, Fang Zhengming quickly looked it up.
He found out the specific identity of the other party.
"Zhang Han, there's no problem."
"With the other party's status, it's absolutely impossible for them to deliberately inflate data. This person is a big shot, and you don't need to know more than that."
Fang Zhengming instructed.
Zhang Han nodded. "Director, that's good. Director, is it okay for them to keep giving appreciation like this?"
"There are requirements from above. This feature is meant for small amounts. You don't need to worry about it."
...
Lin Tian was unaware that he had such a super-rich elderly fan. He bought some vegetables from the supermarket and returned home.
Since he had nothing else to do, Lin Tian started doing household chores.
Lu Bingning had told him earlier that whoever had time should do the household chores, and she would cook meals. Lin Tian was supposed to do more of the other chores.
"Click!"
While he was still busy in the room, Lin Tian heard the sound of the door opening. Lu Bingning had come back, as only she could enter directly.
"Ice, you're back pretty early."
Lin Tian walked out of the room.
Lu Bingning looked at the mop in Lin Tian's hand. "Lin Tian, have you resigned? Do you need to find a job? I'll take care of the household chores recently."
Lin Tian smiled, "I've already found a job. It's in sales. If I work hard, I should be able to earn a decent income."
Posting videos online was also a form of sales.
There was nothing wrong with saying that.
"Sales? It's hard work, but it also builds character. Did you buy groceries? If not, I'll go buy some."
Lu Bingning changed her shoes at the doorway.
She didn't ask Lin Tian what exactly he was selling. Sales jobs weren't particularly respectable, and perhaps Lin Tian didn't want to talk about it.
"I've bought them. They're in the fridge."
"Okay."
Lu Bingning quickly went into the kitchen to get busy.
As she picked vegetables, Lu Bingning hummed softly. Her voice was beautiful, and she had received singing training. Her singing was melodious and pleasant to the ear.
With the kitchen door closed, Lu Bingning thought Lin Tian couldn't hear her, but Lin Tian was a martial arts master, and he could hear everything clearly.
"It seems that Lu Bingning really enjoys cooking. She's refined in both the living room and the kitchen. She's a perfect example of someone who
can handle both."
Lin Tian mused to himself.
If he didn't win over Lu Bingning, after three years, they would divorce, and even his grandfather would be furious enough to crawl out of his coffin.
"I'll chase after Lu Bingning after I get more treasure chests in a few months."
He had three years, so there was no need to rush.
Acquiring treasure chests was more important than winning over Lu Bingning.
"Ding dong!"
Just as Lin Tian finished mopping the floor, the doorbell rang.
Lin Tian opened the door, and there stood a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, with neatly combed hair.
More importantly, he was holding a large bouquet of red roses.
Seeing Lin Tian, he hesitated for a moment, his expression somewhat awkward.
"Hello, is Lu Bingning here?"
"I have something to discuss with her."
The man outside the door quickly regained his composure. Even though Lin Tian was at home, what could an ordinary Lin Tian do to compete with him?
Lu Bingning came out of the kitchen at this moment.
Seeing the man at the door, she frowned slightly, "You're Song Kaifeng, Aunt Wang's son from the fifteenth floor, right? Please take your flowers and leave."
