Chapter 013 Shopping Mall
Barrage:
[…I haven't thought about these questions at all. I've just been watching the livestream like an idiot and howling. Seeing you guys analyze so many things, I feel like I might grow a brain.]
[I never thought about it. I'm sorry, I brought shame to the people of StarCraft. Covering my face, jpg.]
[To sum up, the anchor definitely has a secret! ]
So what's the secret?
How would I know?
[I feel like I'm just a little bit away from figuring it out.]
【Why not ask the host directly? 】
Lu Xuan, who was called upon, stuffed the freshly roasted roe deer meat into his mouth and said again, "Do you guys keep guessing?"
Audience in the live broadcast room: ...Guess, guess, guess. You just want us to guess. You don’t give us any hints, so what the hell are we supposed to guess?
Lu Xuan watched them complaining crazily and continued to grill meat until he was full after eating almost ten pounds of meat. He adjusted the view to let them appreciate the natural scenery in the mountains, while he checked the background data.
The excitement brought by the two battles easily led to a significant increase in the number of online viewers and fans in the live broadcast room.
The number of online users increased from over 20,000 to over 120,000, and the number of fans reached over 50,000!
Lu Xuan clicked on the system information that was flashing.
[Achieve the '10,000 fans' achievement, reward: a 10,000-person traffic voucher. Next stage achievement: 100,000 fans, reward unknown.]
[Achieve the achievement of '100,000 online viewers' and receive a reward of 10,000 points. The next achievement is to achieve 1 million online viewers, with an unknown reward.]
Accomplishing two achievements in one go made the appearance of the mutant vampire vine worthwhile.
Looking at the gifts collected, the wonderful performance when killing the wild boar, and the power of the vampire vine later, they are all highlights. As expected, many fans excitedly slammed the gifts. The gifts of different values added up to more than 30,000, which can be exchanged for more than 3,000 points.
Lu Xuan directly exchanged all the points.
Including the more than 3,000 points from yesterday and the 10,000 points reward he just received, his total points are now just over 17,000.
This amount is enough for him to buy what he wants.
While opening the system mall, he adjusted the perspective of the live broadcast room back to normal.
The audience had just guessed that he was checking the gift income, and now that he opened the mall, they knew he was ready to spend money!
A viewer immediately asked him if he was going to pay in full to stock up on nutritional supplements.
"No."
While denying, Lu Xuan switched the page from the food category to another category, and without hesitation clicked to purchase the newly unlocked and currently largest space equipment, a 100-cubic-meter space ring.
Live broadcast audience: ???
[I don't understand. Didn't the host already get a 100-cubic-meter space ring in the new member gift pack? Why did he buy another one? To store his belongings? He doesn't need to buy two, right?]
Lu Xuan sighed, "Naive."
Let us ask modern people, leaving aside those who cannot even maintain basic survival, if the end of the world is coming and they have sufficient strength, what is the most important thing?
Is it food? Weapons? Or something else?
Neither.
It's space!
All the supplies needed for survival are important, but in the end times, no matter how many things you have, where will you put them?
You can stockpile supplies, but first you need to have a large enough space to store them so that you can carry all the supplies with you wherever you go without attracting covetousness.
[That sounds reasonable!]
But two hundred cubic meters is still a bit too much. If you're storing nutritional supplements, even if you take ten a day, that's just over three thousand a year. Just a few hundred boxes, and they'll only take up a corner of the space.
Lu Xuan said slowly, "Is two hundred cubic meters a lot? There are still twenty days until the first catastrophe. During this time, I plan to buy as much space as I can. One thousand eight hundred cubic meters is not too much."
If he hadn't wanted to save points to unlock a larger space, he would have bought three at once.
Are you addicted?
I do know that many ancient (and modern) broadcasters have a mysterious interest in space. Could this be the case with broadcasters as well?
[Host, don't be confused! Prioritize! Two hundred cubic meters is already quite large. Use the points to buy more nutrients. Besides, even if you buy that much space, do you have enough silver to fill it with supplies? Don't let it get to the point where you can't even fill one. It's embarrassing just thinking about it.]
Lu Xuan said nonchalantly: "Isn't this already profitable?"
It does take a lot of money to fill up hundreds of cubic meters of space, but hunting is too slow to make money, so he didn't put his hopes on hunting from the beginning.
If you want to make big money, you have to rely on other treasures.
Lu Xuan's gaze couldn't help but look into the endless mountains, and a faint expectation emerged in his bottomless eyes.
I hope the harvest of these days will not disappoint him too much.
After lunch and a short nap, Lu Xuan set off again.
This time he did not deliberately fish. He even paid close attention to the movements around him while moving, deliberately avoiding areas where wild beasts or groups of wild beasts were present, and took a detour.
During this period, he also used the traffic coupons for 10,000 people that he had just obtained. Many new viewers came into the live broadcast room one after another because of the traffic coupons and saw the push notifications.
[Is this Yuangu Live? Are you new? I haven't seen you before.]
What are you doing? Are you running? The surroundings are all blurry, I can't see anything, am I just looking at something lonely?
[Lu Xuan? Is he the streamer who was reportedly seen on a certain blog a few days ago kicking a primitive wild boar to death?]
[Primitive animals have low combat power, so kicking a wild boar to death is nothing?]
When the old viewers noticed that so many new viewers appeared at once, they quickly guessed that Lu Xuan must have used the reward traffic coupons for 10,000 fans, so they enthusiastically explained Lu Xuan's great achievements to them and told them not to worry, as there might be a high-energy warning soon.
They also emphasized that Lu Xuan was a wood-type mutant who had contracted a particularly powerful mutant plant, and his combat power was not inferior to that of high-level interstellar mutants.
Originally, many new viewers were about to quit because Lu Xuan was busy on the road and the live broadcast was not interesting. However, topics such as wood element and contracted plants suddenly attracted their attention, and they finally became interested and asked for details.
Some people went directly to watch the replays of Lu Xuan’s previous live broadcasts, and clicked to follow after seeing content that interested them. The number of fans in the live broadcast room began to increase slowly.
Lu Xuan was aware of the new audience's doubts, but he did not deliberately bring up any attractive topics to force them to stay.
The live broadcast system can be a support for him, but it cannot make him a slave to the live broadcast.
Those who like to watch his live broadcast will stay without much persuasion, and there is no need to force those who are not interested to stay.
However, seeing him running around in the mountains, occasionally jumping onto tall tree roots to scan his surroundings, but never making any further moves, both new and old viewers couldn't help but ask what he wanted to do? Or, what was he looking for?
Lu Xuan's eyes were fixed on the bottom of a huge ancient tree. He curled the corners of his lips and jumped off the trunk. After a few more jumps, he appeared under the target tree. At the same time, he turned the perspective of the live broadcast room to a red object at the root of the tree.
Barrage:
[Huh? Is this a mushroom? It's huge!]
[It looks hard and not very tasty. Did the host wander around the mountains for so long just to find this?]
[I've watched a lot of ancient live broadcasts, but I've never seen mushrooms like this.]
Lu Xuan twitched his lips, speechless at the ignorance of the interstellar people. "What mushroom? This is Ganoderma lucidum, which is much more valuable than mushrooms."
Judging from the size, surface smoothness, and flesh thickness of this red Ganoderma lucidum, it is at least a hundred years old.
Lu Xuan briefly introduced the efficacy and age of Ganoderma lucidum to the still confused interstellar audience. Following his explanation, some people who had watched other ancient live broadcasts finally remembered this kind of medicinal material.
Someone immediately asked how much this Ganoderma lucidum could be sold for.
Lu Xuan carefully plucked the Ganoderma lucidum and said, "I don't know exactly how much it can be sold for, but a precious medicinal herb that's over a hundred years old won't be too cheap. 1,800 taels is definitely no problem."
Audience:!!!
Not long ago, they were saying that the anchor could only earn a hundred or eighty taels of silver from a few days of hunting in the mountains, but now he's found some rare medicinal herbs that can be sold for ten times that much!?
Lu Xuan looked out at the endless mountain range in the distance and said, "The older the medicinal herbs, the higher their value. But the prerequisite for them to grow long enough is to avoid being discovered and picked prematurely. The mountain next to Yunlu Village is right next to the Yunlu Mountain Range, which stretches for thousands of cubic kilometers. The deep mountains are full of dangers, and almost no living person can set foot there."
"Guess how many hundreds, even thousands, of years old medicinal herbs are hidden away in this mountain? How many can I find if I walk around here a few times?"
Audience:!!!
How many hundreds-year-old medicinal herbs can be found in the entire mountain range?
The answer is countless.
Can’t fill the space? Not possible.
The only thing he always has to worry about is that he doesn't have enough points to buy a space big enough to hold the supplies he wants!
What makes people even happier is that all the treasures found in the mountains are free and do not require any investment at all. How can this not be considered zero-dollar shopping in another sense?
You know, what people like most in the last days is buying things for free.
[Good guy! I really am a good guy! ]
[It turns out we were the ones who were naive! The streamer had it all planned from the beginning, and there was no worry about making enough money!]
Selling medicinal herbs is really lucrative! I also want to go treasure hunting for medicinal herbs in ancient times!
[Just imagining how many herbs the anchor could find and how much they could sell them for makes me completely numb. Wouldn't this make him instantly rich!?]
Nutritional supplements can certainly fill you up, but rice is definitely more delicious. If you have enough money, nutritional supplements are really useless, so there's no need to stock up on them.
[People don't need to take nutritional supplements when they're about to face a natural disaster, but we only have nutritional supplements to take every day. I won't say who's jealous, I just feel bad for myself!]
[It hurts! I cry so hard!]
Lu Xuan put the Ganoderma lucidum into his space ring and watched the audience's excitement for a while before saying, "Okay, I'm going to continue."
After saying that, he started looking around again.
Perhaps the nearby environment was very suitable for the growth of Ganoderma lucidum, and not long after, Lu Xuan discovered another red Ganoderma lucidum.
However, this time it was obviously smaller in size and age than the previous one, and it had been bitten by some unknown animal, leaving at least one-fifth of it missing.
Lu Xuan: “…”
