Chapter 70: Five Million Fans, Twenty Million Online

"Stop talking, stop talking," Zhang Chengming interrupted him, unable to bear it any longer.

After imagining the possible scenarios they might face, the others turned pale.

Lu Xuan said casually, "In short, when you encounter outsiders in the future, think about your family before you do anything kind."

Although he said it would be at least a few months later, everyone was already starting to get nervous.

They felt that if they were to encounter such a situation, they had absolutely no confidence in protecting their loved ones.

"I wish I could live here forever," Zhang Chengming said, echoing the sentiments of everyone.

"Face reality, don't think about running away." Lu Xuan waved his hand and said, "Alright, you've eaten your fill, and said what needed to be said. Go back to sleep."

Everyone looked at him with resentful expressions.

Scaring people and then kicking them out—isn't that just making sure they can't sleep tonight?

Lu Xuancai didn't care about them; he wasn't their father and had no interest in coaxing these giant babies.

He casually took out a pile of pre-prepared food, wine, and fruit, told them to take it back to their elders and children, and then sent them away.

Lu Xuan glanced at the comments section. The viewers were both marveling at his deep understanding of human nature and sharing their own painful experiences.

Most people encounter frustrating situations in their daily lives or at work. Some mercenaries are betrayed by trusted teammates, and some space pirates almost have their entire crew broken up due to infighting over the distribution of loot.

Lu Xuan and some audience members: Hmm? Something seems off.

I've memorized that space pirate's IP address, from XX planet, right? I've reported it immediately.

[I'll report one too. But seriously, wasn't the streamer supposed to be an idiot? Why is he so good at analyzing human nature? It's like he went to some kind of rigorous training camp that puts humanity to the test and underwent some kind of hellish training.]

[No way, no way, it's been so long, surely no one still thinks the streamer was just a simple-minded idiot before? I've already guessed something, but I'm not sure if I'm right, so I won't say anything (smiles).]

Lu Xuan, who was slightly tipsy after having a few drinks that evening, smiled and said, "Let's have another quiz with prizes. Whoever can guess my background will get a big prize."

The live stream chat instantly went wild.

The streamer was actually hiding something from them—something they didn't even know about!

Just as they were about to ask for more details, Lu Xuan said, "By the way, shouldn't we start opening blind boxes?"

Audience: Don't change the subject! Give us a hint first!

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow: "So we're not opening blind boxes today?"

Live stream viewers: ...Draw! You promised at least 100 draws a day!

Lu Xuan glanced at today's data.

With over 20 million online viewers and more than 5 million followers, the recommendation effect, measured in planets, certainly did not disappoint.

Lu Xuan said, "The data has increased significantly today, so don't say I didn't give you any benefits. We won't do any regular blind boxes, let's go straight for the silver 100-pull."

The audience, who had been clamoring for him to explain his origins, immediately changed their tune.

[The host is so generous!]

[Tsk tsk, throwing away 100,000 points right off the bat, this streamer's getting cocky!]

[The streamer must have received at least several million in gifts today. It's just a million, no big deal!]

Lu Xuan didn't waste any words. He opened the blind box page, selected one hundred silver blind boxes, and got started!

After the ten special effects of opening the blind boxes wore off, the items that were drawn quickly appeared in front of Lu Xuan.

[Different numerical points*42, Basic Energy Stone*8, Intermediate Energy Stone*4, Advanced Energy Stone*2, Nutrient Supplement Gift Packs (Sizes)*13, Basic Bio-suit*1, Upgraded Bio-suits*2, 100 Cubic Space Bracelet*1, 100 Cubic Space Ring*1, 500 Cubic Space Bracelet*1, 500g Gold*2, 1000g Gold*1.]

Meat grinder*1, humidifier*1, amethyst geothermal pad*1, amethyst air conditioner*2, protective suit*2, a box of tranquilizer darts*2, luxury custom furniture*5, kayak*2, bio-mask*2, fully intelligent food processor*1, oil press*1, plant ingredient analyzer*1, single-person safe house*1

The component analyzer is guaranteed to be sold for 100 consecutive times, and the system evaluation price is 50,000 points.

Let's look at the item descriptions next.

[Plant Composition Analyzer: Can detect the components of all plants, assess their nutritional content, toxicity, and edibility.]

The function overlaps with the abilities of wood-type supernatural powers. Lu Xuan himself doesn't need these functions, but handing the detector over to others can help determine whether some mushrooms, wild vegetables, or herbs that are not easy to distinguish are poisonous, thus avoiding accidental ingestion. It's quite a useful tool.

The only drawback is that it can only detect plant-based components.

Star Alliance should also have a detection device that can detect both plants and animals, but the price would probably be more than 50,000.

New items not previously shipped include ingredient analyzers, oil presses, and food processors. The rest are duplicates of different specifications, including custom furniture and safe houses.

Repetitive items aren't necessarily bad, but the sheer number of new items this time is unbelievably small.

But if you say he was just unlucky today, he earned nearly 150,000 points, and in addition to breaking even from the card draws, he also made 50,000. Besides the guaranteed draw, he also drew several items worth tens of thousands of yuan. How can you say he was unlucky?

It wasn't until he saw the audience laughing and making some sarcastic remarks that Lu Xuan realized what was going on.

It seems that while the Star Alliance is generous, it is not without its limitations.

The higher the level of the blind box, the more times you can draw cards, and the higher the probability of getting duplicate items later.

But this isn't entirely a scam, because occasionally getting a good item is enough to wipe out the losses from repeatedly trying to get the same item.

Does this sound like the Covenant is being taken advantage of? Actually, no.

The price he knew was just the Star Alliance's listed price, not the cost price, and there was a gap between the actual price and the points, leaving a lot of room for manipulation.

After the blind boxes were drawn, the viewers in the live stream discussed his luck and what he got, and compared it with other live streams from other dimensions. Not long after, someone brought up the old topic again and asked about his background.

The other audience members perked up again after being reminded.

[Host, tell us quickly, what other background stories do you have that we don't know about?]

Lu Xuan glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the live stream and said, "It's so late. I have to go out tomorrow. That's enough for today. I'm ending the stream." He then closed the live stream.

Viewers stared at the suddenly black screen of the live stream: !! It just ended like that!

That dog-like streamer is playing tricks on them again!!!

·

Lu Xuan opened the system information as soon as he finished broadcasting.

[Achieve the milestone of '10 million online viewers' and receive 100,000 points. Next milestone: 100 million online viewers.]

[Achieve the achievement of 'receiving gifts totaling tens of millions of Star Coins' to be rewarded with a Premium Energy Stone Gift Pack. Next stage achievement: receive gifts totaling one hundred million Star Coins.]

The reason he deliberately showed off the vampire vine during the day was not because he was annoyed by a few honest people who didn't even dare to go too far in moral blackmailing him. He simply wanted to take advantage of being featured on the recommendation list today to subtly boost his popularity.

As expected, no one questioned his motives for taking out the vampire vine.

Lu Xuan sighed. The people of the Star Alliance are so adorably naive.

Compared to fan achievements and live stream duration achievements, the rewards for these two achievements are really nothing special. Compared to the more than five million gifts received today, 100,000 points seem rather small.

However, Lu Xuan showed no disdain whatsoever, nor did he become arrogant just because the data had increased significantly today.

After all, it's not time to expand yet.

On the contrary, the real trouble is yet to come.

To reach the next stage of achievement, whether it's in terms of fans, online presence, or gifts, there's a gap of one to ten times, but unfortunately, there are no more traffic coupons or recommendation slots to push him any further.

Once the platform can no longer attract enough traffic with its own exciting live streaming content, the period of explosive data growth will come to an end.

This is a situation that many streamers across different dimensions encounter.

Initially, the data exploded due to the hype surrounding ancient live streaming and official traffic support. However, once the explosive growth period is over, a bottleneck will be encountered, and there will be no major breakthroughs for the next few years or even more than a decade.

Only after finally overcoming the bottleneck will one usher in a second spring in their career.

But whether it's the former or the latter, Lu Xuan doesn't want to endure it for that long.

He wants to have mechs and spaceships within a year, or at most two years!

It's just a climax, isn't it? The cataclysmic period has only just begun, and there will be plenty of content to keep the interstellar people on the edge of their seats in the future.

As for the near future...

Tomorrow it will be his turn to lead the team out again.

Hunting is a repetitive affair; the killing goes on and on, and it's only entertaining the first time. The second time is also good, but the third, fourth, fifth, or sixth time gets boring.

Lu Xuan stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "It's time to change things up."

·

When the show resumed airing, unsurprisingly, the screen was filled with comments criticizing Lu Xuan for being unreasonable.

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow, pointing to the sumptuous breakfast already laid out in front of him: "Unreasonable? Should I be even more unreasonable and turn off the sharing?"

The audience, who had their weakness pinned down: Damn it! They've found our weakness!

Hmph, I'll let you off this time, but if you dare do it again—

Lu Xuan nodded: "If there's a next time, I'll ask you all again whether you want to enable sharing."

【! Can you please have some decency?!】

The audience continued their protests angrily while inhaling the fumes.

I'm so angry! Ugh... Hmm, it smells so good... but I'm still so annoyed...

So delicious, it smells so good...

belch--!

Live stream viewers: ...Never mind, we Star Alliance people are all very broad-minded, we won't hold a grudge against a dog streamer.

After the streamer finished eating, a viewer asked: "Speaking of which, the streamer achieved the milestone of 10 million viewers yesterday, right? How much more is needed for 10 million gifts?"

Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow and glanced at the comments. "It's already been achieved, so what?"

The audience suddenly became inexplicably excited.

Did the streamer buy anything yesterday?

Buy now if you haven't already! Use up all your points now!

[Spend a million!]

Lu Xuan seemed to understand something. "A million-dollar spending achievement? The reward for this achievement is pretty good?"

That's incredibly good! Achieve this as soon as possible; you definitely won't regret it!

Lu Xuan asked, "Is it better than a safe house?"

[Safe houses are simply incomparable!]

In terms of market price, it's actually similar to a regular safe house; the key issue is that there's no market for it!

[That's right! It's a really good item; even within the Star Alliance, not everyone—no, most people—can't buy it even if they wanted to.]

[So, streamer, hurry up and buy! Aren't you curious and don't you want to own it?]
