This platform setting is indeed a bit of a trap. To highlight the privileges of those who spend money to tip, tip messages are prioritized and can be displayed in a pop-up notification.

But it makes sense when you think about it. No matter how much power you have, in the end, isn't it all about money?

Money can make the devil turn the millstone, let alone bullet comments.

However, Li Lechen didn't really care much about these Sunshine Coins.

So he said, "Actually, I don't need a lot of Sunshine Coins. If you have money, you can tip those who need it, such as those streamers in the contaminated area. They are quite pitiful. They can return to the quarantine area with just 100,000 Sunshine Coins. When you tip, please note that each tip of 9,999 Sunshine Coins will not be taxed."

But these words didn't seem to have much effect; the messages about donations kept coming, and no one seemed to have a say in them.

"brush--"

[Level 24 user "Xiaoming Get Out" tipped the streamer with Sunshine Coins]

[Host, are those oranges you're holding?]

"Huh? How come you can type in the comments? Has no one given you any tips?"

Li Lechen had gotten used to the barrage of comments that only contained donation messages and no actual comments, so he was startled when Guo Xiaoming suddenly posted a comment.

【I don't know either, has no one given me a reward?】 Guo Xiaoming posted another message, he was also very confused.

Of course, it's not that no one is giving tips; there's a huge queue of tip messages. However, giving a one-time tip of 100,000 coins grants a different kind of privilege. At least the message stays on the screen longer, and during that time, the comments from the generous donor get priority.

Money really does buy power.

However, this privilege did not last long. Afterwards, Guo Xiaoming discovered that although his comments were sent, they were not displayed on the screen. Only the donations were displayed.

"brush--"

[Level 24 user "Xiaoming Get Out" tipped the streamer with Sunshine Coins]

Another 100,000 coins.

[Host, thank you so much for your detoxification technology and for recommending the first batch of 7D printing equipment I purchased. The profit from these two days totaled 1.6 million.]

Having agreed to give Li Lechen half of the profits, Guo Xiaoming naturally wasn't going to renege on his promise. The reason he didn't give out the entire 800,000 yuan in rewards all at once was mainly because he wanted to say a few more words.

Three million viewers isn't actually that many; Lin Sen often gets several million viewers when he streams. But such a continuous stream of donations is quite rare.

"brush--"

[Level 24 user "Xiaoming Get Out" tipped the streamer with Sunshine Coins]

"Can I buy this orange, host?" Guo Xiaoming asked again.

Just a few days ago, Guo Xiaoming was a pitiful man who couldn't even pay his cabin rental fee and had to risk eating food that might not be fully detoxified. Now, he has assets of over two million yuan. This transformation has not made Guo Xiaoming greedy for pleasure, but rather has made him more and more interested in making money.

Living in the quarantine zone means forever being at the bottom of a well, looking up at the world. Therefore, he needs to go to the safe zone, or even become a permanent resident of the safe zone.

This goal is far from being achieved simply by selling virus-free jam.

Currently ranked 10,000th on the Sunshine Rich List, his assets are nearly 3 billion. This level of wealth is absolutely incomparable to the average immigrant to a safe zone with five million in assets.

Furthermore, according to the platform's rules, residents in the quarantine zone will be subject to a tax of up to 50% when selling goods in the mall if their assets exceed three million, and the tax will be as high as 70% if their assets exceed five million.

At first glance, it seems to be about using taxes to regulate high incomes, but upon closer analysis, it's actually about preventing the poor in the quarantined areas from becoming wealthy.

Why don't we collect high taxes from monopolistic giants like Lin Sen, Ouyang Feng, and Kang Shuaifu in the safe zone? It seems they are all tax-exempt.

It's difficult for ordinary people to rise above their circumstances; they can only strive to earn more money.

In reality, following the normal path, it's impossible to earn enough money to become a permanent resident of the safe zone.

The height of your starting point determines how far you can ultimately go.

If you were to ask which personal shops are the most popular right now, besides her own berry shop, it would be Cheng Xixi's cucumber shop.

Guo Xiaoming once bought a printed cucumber from Cheng Xixi's shop on a whim. Although it was just a printed version, it was a real fruit. It was crunchy and the kind of cucumber you couldn't stop eating once you started.

In just half a day, Guo Xiaoming ate five cucumbers.

If she buys so many herself, you can imagine how many cucumbers Cheng Xixi can sell in a day.

The key is that making your own jam requires buying raw materials, as well as production and packaging, and each jar only costs one Sunshine Coin. Printable cucumbers, on the other hand, have almost no cost, yet can sell for 100 coins each.

If we must talk about cost, it's the cost of this master template.

But now another opportunity has presented itself: the oranges in the streamer's hands.

For Li Lechen, it's orange season now, and oranges aren't expensive, so selling them or not doesn't matter. If Guo Xiaoming really wants them, he can sell them to him.

So he said, "Then I'll take this orange..."

"brush--"

[Level 35 user "completed" tipping the streamer with Sunshine Coins in one go]

[I hope the streamer can sell me this orange. My company can make good use of it to develop new disposable products.]

Before Li Lechen could finish speaking, Lai Haoren's donation of 200,000 coins and a bullet screen message interrupted his train of thought.

Selling oranges to this "one-stop shop" company seems more sensible than selling them directly to Guo Xiaoming. The key is, their products are genuinely good.

"Since you put it that way, then I will..."

At this moment, Guo Xiaoming was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had clearly sent a comment and even donated 100,000 coins before the comment, but it hadn't been displayed.
