Li Lechen thought to himself: Okay, he says no, but his body says no. Anyway, he's going to eat dinner soon, and having someone with him means he can have a good meal.

However, to give Zhou Mi a way out, Li Lechen still asked, "Should we go eat first or do you finish your homework?"

The question should be asked first, of course.

As soon as the topic came up, Zhou Mi immediately forgot the smell of chocolate cake from her childhood that filled her nostrils, and her mind was completely focused on studying.

This is what a top student is like—the ability for their brain to direct their body in crucial moments.

"I'm going to wash my face."

While Zhou Mi was taking out exercise books and test papers, Li Lechen hid in the bathroom.

He went to the bathroom not to avoid doing the problems, but to go live on social media. That's right, he can't do the problems without going live.

The live stream started, and the tap was turned on too.

Wow! Such a great perk right from the start of the broadcast! So many types of water that look so good for your stomach!

[Using three types of water to wash your face, no wonder the streamer's skin is so good]

[It's because Zhiyin drinks such pure water!]

Water is indeed the foundation of all natural resources; I want to drink natural water!

[Don't stop the water pipes~~~ Don't stop~~~~]

...

Sure enough, at the very beginning of the live stream, just a shot of someone rinsing their face with water from a tap ignited the enthusiasm of tens of thousands of viewers. Subsequently, this number skyrocketed, surpassing 100,000 in less than a minute.

I wiped my face and was about to go out when suddenly a notification popped up on the screen.

[Dear Level 2 user "Chasing the Wind Boy", you have now met the two requirements of level and having over 100,000 viewers, and are eligible to set up paid viewing. Would you like to do so now?]

TOLL?

Li Lechen recalled that many viewers had indeed seen things like "it's lucky" when they watched something for free, and he figured that many streamers would set up paid viewing options.

What's the charge? It's just some routine stuff. Li Lechen isn't that greedy, so he decisively clicked "Skip".

It's better to share happiness than to enjoy it alone.

But the system seemed uneasy and popped up another notification.

[If you miss this opportunity, you will need to meet two conditions to trigger the paid feature again: reaching level 10 and having over 300,000 viewers. Are you sure you want to skip this?]

So conflicted? Then just set it up.

So I clicked "No".

First, you need to select the recipients of the fee, which includes permanent residents of the safe zone, ordinary residents of the safe zone, and residents of the quarantine zone. You can select multiple categories.

Li Lechen chose "Permanent Resident of the Safe Zone" without hesitation, then hesitated for a moment on the "Ordinary Resident of the Safe Zone" option before finally clicking it as well.

It seems that the viewers who previously said "For immigration, look for Ah Xiang" are now all ordinary residents of the safe zone with assets exceeding ten million. Since they are so rich, it's not unreasonable for them to pay some money to watch the live stream.

Next is the option to choose a price level. There are quite a few options, with five levels per tier, from level 1 to level 80, divided into 16 tiers. You can also select multiple levels.

Since it's targeted at wealthy people in the safe zone, it doesn't matter what level they are. Do you think rich kids can watch livestreams without spending money?

So I checked all 16 gears one by one.

The system then displayed a prompt: "[You can choose a flat price for paid viewing, or you can price separately for different audiences and viewing levels. Would you like to choose separate pricing?]"

That's great! Of course, prices should be set according to different financial resources, which aligns with the goal proposed by Grandpa ***: "Let the rich help the poor, and finally achieve common prosperity."

Uh! Something seems off.

Never mind, the point is to get the rich to spend more money.

Therefore, we decisively chose to "price separately".

The options become more complicated after that, because for each object and each level, different amounts and time limits can be set for paid viewing.

However, Li Lechen's "operation" was relatively simple and crude. For permanent residents of the safe zone, he uniformly set a price of "3,000 Sunshine Coins for five minutes" because this was the shortest time and the most expensive option, and there was no higher price.

For ordinary residents of the safe zone, considering the uncertainty of their wealthy lifestyle, a distinction was made: those below level 20 pay the minimum fee of "100 Sun Coins for five minutes", those between levels 20 and 40 pay "500 Sun Coins for five minutes", and those between levels 40 and 80, sorry, the higher level, the higher fee is set at "1000 Sun Coins for five minutes".

By this point, Li Lechen had figured it out. The large donations from "Dragon Soaring Upward" and that "Frog Prince" were all in exchange for opening some kind of "teleportation portal," and since he hadn't agreed, there was no follow-up. After all, nobody's that stupid to keep throwing money around and trying to get nothing in return.

Without the generous donations from wealthy patrons, if everyone just gives a few hundred coins for watching and enjoys it, at most tens of thousands of coins would be given. To reach level three, you need three thousand experience points, which would amount to more than three million coins just from donations.

The key point is that this is a long-term project. As the system indicates, if you miss this opportunity, you won't be able to charge fees until you reach level ten.

Hmm! Suddenly I'm not bothered by the fee anymore.

I decisively clicked "Confirm".

Nothing happened; the number of viewers continued to grow at a visible rate. I glanced at my Sunshine Coins; I currently had [amount missing].

Well, since we're charging to watch it, we should at least give it some excitement.

Li Lechen then walked out of the bathroom, went to the kitchen, and called out to Zhou Mi in the living room, "Want some fruit? There's watermelon and peaches."

Before Zhou Mi could answer her question, Li Lechen had already opened the refrigerator and taken out a watermelon that had been cut in half and wrapped in plastic wrap.
