It was a rare day off, so Chen Xu was thinking about going out for a walk. But when he walked to the window, a gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver, and he immediately gave up the idea.

"It's winter already."

It's already December. The cold air this year came particularly late. With only more than a month left before the Chinese New Year, we are beginning to feel the winter.

Thinking of the New Year, his brows unconsciously frowned.

Two years ago, his family had a problem and owed hundreds of thousands of yuan, all of which were borrowed from relatives. Although they never asked for repayment, it was not a good feeling to owe others money.

After he started working, he would take out 1,000 yuan from his salary every month and send it back home to pay off his debts. Although the amount was small, he still persisted.

He was afraid that if he slacked off over time, he might never be able to pay off the debt.

In the past two years, visiting relatives to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival has become the most uncomfortable thing for him.

Those relatives never mentioned asking their family to pay back the money, but Chen Xu still felt uncomfortable when facing them.

His biggest wish now is to pay off the debt quickly. Otherwise, he will never be able to hold his head up in front of his relatives.

Where can I get the money?

He concentrated on the biggest problem in his life.

After his salary increased, he could set aside two thousand yuan every month to pay off his debts, but it was still too little. It was only more than twenty thousand yuan a year. If he relied on himself, it would take him forever to pay off his debts.

Too, too slow.

So, we still have to find a way to make money.

For some people, making money is as simple as eating and drinking. Some rely on their background and resources. Some rely on their brains, and some rely on their courage and luck.

But for most people, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven. For example, someone like him, who has no money, no outstanding brains and talents, and is timid and afraid of being cheated, can only use the stupid way, hard work and time accumulation.

This is probably how most ordinary people in this country came from.

However, Chen Xu is luckier than most people. With the virtual dream device, he has many more choices in his life.

Chen Xu sat on the computer chair, holding a bouncy ball in his hand, and threw it out to the balcony. The ball accurately hit the bottom horizontal bar of the stainless steel anti-theft net, bounced back, and landed in his hand.

Then he threw again, and this time, the bouncy ball hit the second horizontal bar of the security net.

The third time, he hit the third bar.

This bouncy ball is his new toy. Playing with it is really stress-relieving.

Last week, during lunch break, he was playing with a bouncy ball in the company when Dai Zixin saw him. She yelled at him and insisted on asking him to take a short video of him throwing the bouncy ball.

He was pestered so much that he had to agree.

The key factor in this was the lunch that Dai Zixin invited him to.

From then on, Dai Zixin would pester him to shoot a short video every day, and every time she shot one, she would treat him to a meal.

For lunch's sake, he readily agreed. It wouldn't take much time to shoot a short video anyway.

He played with the bouncy ball for a while, and then thought that since he had a rare day off, he might as well play a game. There was only one game app on his phone, and that was Werewolf.

This is a board game. Later, a company developed a corresponding APP that can be played online. He would play it in his spare time.

However, I have been working overtime recently and don’t have the time or energy. After all, it takes at least dozens of minutes to open a game, and sometimes it takes more than an hour to finish.

As soon as he picked up the phone, WeChat rang.

The message was sent by Dai Zixin, "Chen Xu, come to XXX quickly, help is needed."

“???” Chen Xu replied with a few question marks, asking her what was going on.

Chen Xu replied, "No, I finally have a day off, I need to rest at home."

Another voice message begged, "Please help me. I have worked so hard to accumulate so many fans. If you don't come, I will lose all my fans."

Chen Xu was unmoved. "It's so cold. Isn't it too inhumane to go out?"

"I'll reimburse you for your round-trip tickets, and lunch and dinner are all included."

Chen Xu sent another message, "I haven't had a midnight snack in a long time."

"Plus afternoon tea and midnight snack." From this voice message, you can hear how she gritted her teeth.

Chen Xu was shocked and said, "Send me the location."

…………

Half an hour later, Chen Xu arrived at his destination, which was on a street not far from the company.

In such cold weather, Dai Zixin actually went outdoors to live broadcast, which is really willful.

"This way." Dai Zixin was waiting in front of a store. When she saw him, she waved excitedly, "You're finally here, woo woo——"

Chen Xu ignored her exaggerated expression. After spending half a month together, he was already familiar with her personality.

She is a cheerful person and likes to play pranks, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say she is silly.

Once, she imitated some short videos that pranked her boss and went to tease Liu Kun. As a result, Liu Kun's face turned stern, which scared her so much that her phone fell to the ground and the screen was cracked.

Chen Xu could only express his admiration for this suicidal spirit.

Fortunately, Liu Kun was just joking with her and comforted her. Of course, he eventually gave her a warning and told her not to take pictures of these things during working hours.

Seeing that she had nothing in her hands, Chen Xu asked, "Aren't you live streaming?"

"We're taking pictures inside. I'm here to greet you." Dai Zixin took his hand and walked into the store.

Inside was a specialty restaurant and bar. Chen Xu had never been to such a place before, so he thought it was quite novel and looked around. It was obvious that the owner had put a lot of thought into the decoration, and it felt quite tasteful. It was quite comfortable as soon as he entered the door.

"Quick, the master is coming, get out of the way."

Next to the counter, a cell phone was placed on a tripod, and several girls were chatting in front of their phones. Dai Zixin shouted and pulled Chen Xu over.

The girls looked at Chen Xu curiously and asked, "Is this the expert in your video?"

"Yes, this is me."

Dai Zixin said, glancing at her phone and seeing that the number of viewers had dropped significantly, she looked at Chen Xu with a look of help, "Now, it's up to you."

Chen Xu nodded to the girls and agreed to let Dai Zixin shoot a short video, but her face had to be blurred if she was shown.

However, since this is a live broadcast, it’s a bit unrealistic not to show my face.

Since she was so sincere, it was okay for him to show his face.

However, how can we prove that those videos are real? Live broadcast is not like pre-filming, and many effects cannot be captured.

He looked at Dai Zixin, who seemed to be asking for help, and couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that he couldn't count on her for advice.

He glanced around the restaurant and saw a dart board hanging on the wall on the left, and an idea came to his mind.
