Zhang Shaozhong, clutching the stack of life-saving money and the slip of paper with his phone number written on it, felt as if he were carrying a hot potato, and nervously made his way home.

Just as they reached the door, they remembered the code and quickly whispered through the crack in the door:

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!"

There was a few seconds of silence inside, then Ye Meier's impatient and somewhat uncertain voice came through:

"Turtle stew with mushrooms?"

Then came Ling Qingxue's cool correction: "It is 'Pagoda Suppressing River Demon'."

Night Enchantress: "Oh! The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

Zhang Shaozhong: "..." Well, the code was useless.

As soon as he entered the room, the two big shots' eyes immediately fixed on him.

"How's it going? Where's the money? Did you sell the stuff?"

Night Enchantress was the most direct; she immediately stared at his pockets.

Although Ling Qingxue didn't speak, the question in her eyes was clear.

Zhang Shaozhong let out a long breath and first took out the stack of banknotes and slammed them on the table:

"I made some money from selling them, enough to tide me over!"

Ye Meier's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take it, but Zhang Shaozhong pressed her hand down:

"Wait! Let me finish!"

He recounted his experience at "Boguzhai" in detail, focusing on how Uncle Chen recognized the value of the bracelet, how he saw its extraordinary quality, and the astronomical fee for obtaining the certificate.

"...So, the fairy's bracelet is a real treasure! That old man is a master! The path has been found, but the money... is far from enough!"

Zhang Shaozhong looked pained.

"Let's leave the bracelet there as collateral for now, that's our advance payment. We'll have to figure out the rest ourselves!"

When Ling Qingxue heard that the bracelet had been pawned, her eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything.

The bracelet had been with her for many years; though it had lost all its magic, she still felt a certain attachment to it.

But the current situation is beyond our control.

Night Enchantress was astonished by the astronomical number:

"How much?! That's highway robbery! Back where I'm from, that's enough to buy ten beautiful furnace cauldrons!"

Zhang Shaozhong:

"...Big sister, that's not the point!"

He took out the piece of paper with the phone number written on it, as if holding a sacred decree.

"This is hope! But it's also pressure! We need to make money quickly!"

How to earn it?

Ling Qingxue asked the key question.

"We cannot show our faces in public; we need identification for even ordinary jobs."

Zhang Shaozhong scratched his head and paced around the small room:

"Yeah...we can't go out, what can we do? Write novels? The money comes too slowly! Game boosting? My skills are so-so...Stock trading? We don't have any capital..."

He was so worried he was pulling out his hair.

Just when a broad road was right in front of them, it was blocked by a mountain called "Money".

Just then, his old phone on the table buzzed and vibrated, pushing a headline video: "A streamer on a certain platform earns millions a month by livestreaming himself sleeping..."

Zhang Shaozhong: "..."

Ye Meier leaned over and glanced at it, then scoffed, "Making money while sleeping? You people from later generations are really bored."

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener!

Zhang Shaozhong suddenly stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on the push notification, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind!

Live streaming... can you even become famous while sleeping?

What if the live stream is even more exciting?

His gaze slowly and mechanically turned to the two ancestors inside the room.

She was a stunningly beautiful and aloof woman with an ethereal air, like a celestial being descended to earth (though she is now somewhat down on her luck).

She is alluring and seductive, with a hot body, and every smile and frown can be deadly (although she is a bit irritable now).

That face! That aura! That contrast!

This... beauty is completely out of this world!

If this were streamed live... wouldn't it crash the platform's servers?!

Zhang Shaozhong's breathing instantly became heavy, and his eyes shone like searchlights!

"Why...why are you looking at us like that?"

Night Enchantress felt uneasy under his gaze and instinctively hugged her arms tightly.

Ling Qingxue also frowned slightly, feeling that the mortal contractor's eyes had suddenly become extremely... rude and full of calculation.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Zhang Shaozhong let out a strange, silly laugh, rubbed his hands together, and leaned closer to the two of them.

"My lords... my ancestors... my sisters! I've thought of a great way to get rich quick! It's absolutely fast! And you don't even have to leave the house!"

"What method?"

The two women asked warily.

"live streaming!"

Zhang Shaozhong waved his hand, pointing to the phone.

"Right here! Show yourselves to thousands of people! If they're happy, they'll tip us! Send us gifts! It's all money!"

Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier reacted very differently after hearing this.

Ling Qingxue's face instantly darkened, her tone turning icy:

"To show one's face in public and try to attract attention? What kind of behavior is that! Absolutely not!"

To treat her like an actress for others to watch? That's an insult to her status!

Ye Meier's eyes lit up, and she became interested:

"Oh? You get paid just for showing off your beauty? That's a good business! Much easier than fighting and killing! Back where I'm from, I can collect mountains of ticket revenue from a dance party!"

She has always been extremely confident in her charm.

Seeing an opportunity, Zhang Shaozhong quickly adopted a strategy of sowing discord, first instigating Ye Meier:

"Right, ma'am! With your charm, you'll absolutely captivate everyone! You'll receive so many gifts you won't know what to do with them! You can eat whatever meat you want! Order two servings of spicy hot pot! Eat one and throw the other away!"

Night Enchantress was overjoyed, as if she could already see mountains of spicy hot pot, licking her lips:

"Really? Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry!"
