Before Shen Xuan could even express his gratitude, a wave of donations swept through the live stream.

"Ding-dong... User 'Grandpa Who Loves to Smoke' has tipped you with an airplane!"

"Ding-dong... User has gifted 100 hearts!"

"Ding-dong... User Qingfengmingyue has donated a rocket!"

...

Seemingly reminded by Fairy Qingyun, the lurking users all started giving rewards.

“Ding Dong…”

"Congratulations, host, for reaching 20,000 popularity points! You are rewarded with one chance to win a prize!"

So fast?

Shen Xuan didn't expect that in just a few seconds, the number of views would increase by another 10,000!

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising!

The previous rocket rain from Qingyun Fairy attracted many new users, and then the old users gave a reward, which quickly increased the popularity.

It's so great to have lots of money!

This gives you two extra chances to win a prize!

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Shen Xuan clasped his hands in thanks and kept expressing his gratitude. "Well, I don't have much to repay you all with. I'll go up the mountain tomorrow and get some wild fruits or local specialties for you to draw as prizes!"

I've seen many big streamers hold giveaway events to reward their fans, but Shenxuan doesn't have anything valuable, so he simply went to the mountains to get some wild local specialties.

"Wild game is great, I love it!"

"Is it a wild vegetable? That would be a rare find."

"Seriously? You've given so many rockets as tips, and all you're getting are some wild vegetables?"

"What do you know? Wild vegetables are something most people can't even buy if they want to!"

...

Shen Xuan noticed the discussions in the live stream and explained, "I can't be sure what the prizes will be right now; it all depends on our luck when we go up the mountain tomorrow!"

"If we're lucky enough to find snow lotus or ginseng from the Tianshan Mountains, we'll give them to you. If we're unlucky, we'll only be able to dig up some wild vegetables and pick some wild fruits, but please don't complain!"

As soon as he said that, everyone in the live stream laughed.

"Hahaha...I'm dying of laughter, the streamer is so genuine!"

"I love your sincerity. I'll follow you."

"There aren't many streamers this genuine these days. I'm a fan now!"

...

Shen Xuan's simple statement instantly increased the attention he received by dozens of times.

People who enjoy watching rural live streams are simply looking for authenticity. Other streamers are full of tricks and self-interest, and after watching them for a while, they become boring.

"Then it's settled. I'll take you up the mountain to have a look tomorrow morning at eight o'clock!"

Shen Xuan smiled, greeted the viewers in the live stream, and then turned off the live stream.

Just as he turned it off, village chief Wu Dayou came over, panting.

"Xiao Xuan, the money you're paying for contracting the rocky mountain is too little. It's only 50,000 yuan for ten years. It should be at least 100,000 yuan for ten years!"

Wu Dayou, with a cigarette dangling from his lips and his small eyes squinting, spoke directly.

Ten thousand over ten years?

Shen Xuan was displeased when he heard this number!

Stone Village is a secluded place, and Stone Mountain has been abandoned for decades, never having been contracted out.

Five thousand yuan a year, is that not enough?

According to Shen Xuan's understanding, no one in the village was willing to contract this mountain. Even though he paid 5,000 yuan a year to contract it, many people in the village said behind his back that he was being taken advantage of.

Now that the village chief has come over, you still think it's not enough?

"Village Chief Wu, this is all the money I have left, not a penny more."

Shen Xuan was a straightforward person and immediately expressed his opinion.

Forehead……

Wu Dayou looked embarrassed. He thought Shen Xuan would try to bargain, but he didn't expect him to just give up.

"Don't say that. You came back from the city. It's not like you can't come up with 100,000 yuan!"

Wu Dayou chuckled awkwardly a few times, "Let me tell you, a lot of people in the village want to contract the mountain, but I've been holding back from agreeing. You're the only college student in the village, so I'll contract it to you, even if it's for a small amount, I'm willing!"

"Who else wants to rent this hilltop?"

Shen Xuan asked directly.

"There are plenty. Qin Zhi from the village has approached me several times, wanting to contract this hilltop to run a farm stay and raise livestock!"

Wu Dayou immediately named someone, saying, "I'm under a lot of pressure as the village chief!"

Qin Zhi?

That good-for-nothing who loafs around in the village all day, harassing respectable women?

Contracting a mountain? That's a joke!

"Have him come to me, and I'll talk to him!"

Shen Xuan waved his hand, "I don't believe he really wants to contract the mountain."

"Okay, then I'll have him find you!"

Wu Dayou nodded and readily agreed. In any case, Qin Zhi was his man. He would let Qin Zhi threaten and intimidate Shen Xuan. This kid had never seen the world before, so he would obediently hand over the money.

After saying that, Wu Dayou left.

It was almost dark by then. Shen Xuan quickly tidied up the dishes and then suddenly remembered that the big black bear was still eating vegetables over there, so he hurried over.

“Ouch…”

The big black bear ate a few vegetables and howled at Chen Xuan a few times, seemingly expressing its dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, I'll get you some meat tomorrow!"

Shen Xuan was helpless. This big guy not only ate his vegetables, but also asked him for meat.

He had no choice but to agree, since this big black bear was now his ancestor!

However, having such a big guy around does help increase the popularity of his live stream.

Let each take what they need!

"Oh, and there's a lucky draw!"

Shen Xuan suddenly remembered that he still had two lottery chances left to use!
