SRGA Chapter 95
"Hehehe!"
With the guardian qi shield in place, Lin Tian felt delighted in his heart, and a broad smile spread across his face. This treasure chest was truly amazing.
Becoming a martial arts Grandmaster made him much safer.
Even though he couldn't withstand heavy sniper rifles, he wouldn't be foolish enough to try to block them.
As a martial arts Grandmaster, he had a strong sense of perception and super speed. He could sense danger and dodge to a distance of ten meters in the blink of an eye.
"I can walk on water and cross a river with a reed; there shouldn't be any problem now. It's a pity that there's no spiritual energy in the world for cultivation."
As a martial arts Grandmaster, Lin Tian could clearly sense that there was only basic elemental energy in the world that was necessary for life.
This basic elemental energy contained little energy.
Using such basic elemental energy, it was difficult to achieve good results in martial arts training, let alone cultivation. That was just a pipe dream.
The revival of spiritual energy?
Lin Tian wasn't dreaming such dreams.
Being able to profit from Lin Bingning and reaching the Divine Grandmaster level in the future would be enough for him. By then, he would be virtually invincible.
*Ding ding!*
His phone rang at this moment.
Lin Tian took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Zhang Han.
"Zhang Ge, what's up?" Lin Tian asked.
Zhang Han smiled, "Master Lin, congratulations! You've reached thirty million followers. Are you going to end your break? Your fans are eagerly awaiting your return."
Lin Tian was somewhat surprised, "I've reached thirty million already?"
"Yes, many of your fans are recommending you to others, helping to increase your followers rapidly," Zhang Han explained.
Lin Tian thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Ge, since my fans are so supportive, I'll announce a live broadcast at two o'clock this afternoon."
Zhang Han's eyes lit up.
"Master Lin, about the advertisements—"
"Many advertisers have contacted us, some offering very generous prices. Should I accept one or two?" Lin Tian interrupted, recalling his promise to Zhang Han.
Hua Yin had given him a lot of exposure, but he was probably still in the red. A loss-making business wouldn't last long.
"Zhang Ge, have any domestic brands approached me? Give me a list to look over," Lin Tian requested.
After hanging up, Zhang Han quickly provided Lin Tian with a list.
Lin Tian picked two from it.
Both were domestic sports brands, one for clothing and the other for shoes.
Lin Tian had wanted to endorse a leading mobile phone brand, but their endorsers were too powerful, including American political figures...
His influence compared to theirs was negligible.
"Master Lin, the two you've chosen don't have many conditions, but the endorsement fees are low, totaling only twenty million yuan a year," Zhang Han informed.
"After deducting taxes, it'll be even less."
Zhang Han called Lin Tian again.
"Master Lin, I suggest you change your outfit for the livestream."
Lin Tian agreed.
If domestic brands could rise, he would be happy to see it. Some domestic brands were very generous when it came to disaster relief.
And some foreign brands, while making money from Chinese people, were causing trouble for China in various ways.
...
"Master Lin agreed?"
"That's great!"
Fang Zhengming informed both brand parties about Lin Tian's agreement, and they were both very happy.
Although ten million a year was a significant endorsement fee for an internet celebrity, Lin Tian was not an ordinary internet celebrity.
In just over twenty days, he had already gained thirty million followers.
He was also a martial arts Grandmaster, a master of the guqin, and a master of the erhu!
This level of prestige couldn't be matched by ordinary internet celebrities.
"Director Fang, did Master Lin have any other conditions?"
One of the brand representatives asked.
Fang Zhengming replied, "His only condition was that the contract be signed electronically. He didn't want his identity to be known to more people."
"He didn't even mention the endorsement fee, and he earns over twenty million in a single livestream, so I don't think he cares much."
"Some foreign brands offer much higher endorsement fees, but he chose two domestic brands, probably because he wants to support domestic brands."
The brand representative said, "Director Fang, please convey to Master Lin that if the performance is good, we will give him a bonus."
Fang Zhengming chuckled, "You guys seem eager."
"Okay, I'll let Master Lin know."
"Make sure to get the contracts ready quickly. Keep them simple, with no complicated or annoying clauses that might upset Master Lin."
...
In the Imperial Capital,
Shen Wangchen eagerly entered his father's room.
"Dad, Master Lin is going live at two o'clock."
Shen Wangchen was even happier than some of Lin Tian's die-hard fans that Lin Tian was finally going live again. Now he didn't have to keep sending Lin Tian virtual gifts to show his support.
It was getting expensive, with ten yuan each time, and it was adding up.
He had even tried using an auto-clicker he found, but his father caught him and insisted that he continue sending gifts manually, saying it would help improve his character.
"It's finally time for another livestream," Shen Wangchen's father said with a smile.
He enjoyed listening to the erhu. He used to think other players were good enough, but ever since he heard Master Lin's erhu skills, he found the others lacking.
"Dad, can you please not make me send any more virtual gifts to Master Lin in the future? I'll give him five million this afternoon," Shen Wangchen pleaded with a pained expression.
"My fingers are starting to hurt."
"Let's see how you behave in the future," his father responded with a snort. "You're not a child anymore. You spend your days doing nothing productive. You're over forty and still haven't settled down."
Shen Wangchen smiled wryly.
He had been reckless when he was younger and had ruined his health. He finally got married a few years ago, but they still hadn't had any children.
Tests showed that the problem lay with him, and it wasn't congenital.
Now his father told him not to worry about anything else, to stay at home, exercise, and take care of his health first.
Although Shen Wangchen was the third son, he still stood to inherit a lot of family assets. With such a large family and business, how could he not have any children?
"Dad, I don't want this either," Shen Wangchen said gloomily.
His father snorted again. "Isn't it all because of your youthful mistakes? Alright, go exercise. I'll take a nap earlier today."
"Wake me up before two."
At half past one in the afternoon, Lin Tian returned to the shop. The cleaning company he had hired had already cleaned up the store.
"Ice, let's find a teahouse and watch the livestream quietly. Master Lin rarely livestreams, so we can't miss it."
Tang Yan, who was shopping with Lin Bingning, said.
Lin Bingning asked, "Yan Zi, are you starting to like Master Lin?"
Tang Yan shook her head repeatedly, "How is that possible? Master Lin must be around forty years old by now, and he's probably not that good-looking."
"In a few days, we'll have a martial arts exchange with Dongying and Korea. I'll find a handsome guy to bring back hehe," Tang Yan said with a smirk.
Lin Bingning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was okay if Tang Yan liked someone else, but liking Master Lin was out of the question.
