Chapter 1: The migrant worker who spent all his money on the female streamer
Ji Huaizhi was holding a phone with a cracked screen and sending virtual gifts to the female streamer on the screen.
Just then, the female anchor's voice came through the phone. She made a heart shape with her hands, pouted, and said coquettishly, "Thank you, Lao Ji, for the seven helicopters you sent to the construction site."
"Thank you, Brother Ji."
"mua~"
Then he started shouting into the microphone: "There is true love in the world. I truly love Brother Ji. Even heaven grows old if it has feelings. Brother Ji, can you give me a few more 'likes'?"
"The Great Wall will never fall, and I will not fall as long as the Great Wall stands."
"Brother Ji, I love you!"
Just after I finished shouting, I heard a clapping sound from my phone.
Ji Huaizhi: "..."
The noise from the phone hadn't stopped yet, and the female anchor continued watching the gifts on the screen.
It seems the original owner had already sent quite a few gifts before he arrived.
"My brother Ji is really awesome. He came up in a helicopter right away. Helicopters are fast. Everyone loves brother Ji."
"Thanks to Brother Ji for the Porsche. The fortune teller said I was going to have a calamity, but I never expected it would be Brother Ji's Porsche."
"With a Porsche in hand, Brother Ji is having a blast every day."
Ji Huaizhi twitched his lips, looking at how many gifts the original owner had sent with this crappy phone, and didn't know what to say.
Looking at the top right corner, the original owner was still ranked second.
He's competing with the top spender by sending gifts.
"What's wrong, Brother Ji? Are you getting bored?" The female streamer started her tricks when she saw that he wasn't sending any more gifts.
"Brother Ji, didn't you say you'd always be number one on the leaderboard in my livestream?"
"How about we send a few Dream Castles? I haven't seen a Dream Castle in ages," the female streamer said, acting cute and charming.
She pouted and winked, hoping the original owner would send out more gifts.
Ji Huaizhi ignored it and went back to clear the phone's memory.
But as soon as I cleared it, the phone froze.
Ji Huaizhi: "...Damn it."
Even with a phone that's broken like this, he's still sending gifts. If he's not mistaken, the original owner's level was just 49.
If you convert that to numbers, level 49 should have around 300,000, right?
I put down my phone and looked up to find him lying in a shed, his sleeping area made of wooden planks.
Looking outside the awning, it was still a construction site.
"Ji Huaizhi, get some rest. Stop watching live streams and looking at pretty girls," a coworker said as he came in with a handkerchief.
"No matter how many gifts you send, those internet celebrities won't even look at you. You might as well earn more money and send it back to your family."
"It's not worth it just to hear those internet celebrities call you 'brother'."
Ji Huaizhi picked up his phone: "Oh."
Just after I finished clearing my phone's memory, I received a WeChat message. I opened it but before I could see the message, the app froze again.
"..." People do laugh when they're speechless.
After going in, I finally saw a contact whose contact name was "Wife" and sent a message.
"We're getting a divorce tomorrow. Don't forget."
It's a bit hot and stuffy sleeping on the construction site, and everyone does manual labor during the day.
So everyone slept very soundly at night, and the surrounding area was filled with deafening snoring.
Ji Huaizhi lay on the hard bed board, receiving memories.

The original owner, Ji Huaizhi, worked as a steel bar carrier on a construction site and met his wife, Lin Jiawen, through a blind date.
Although they spent little time together, the two remained loving for several years.
I have a daughter who is in elementary school.
The original owner was a hardworking young man who was quite popular on the construction site.
However, I've become obsessed with watching live streams in the last six months.
At first, I just watched the live stream, chatted with the streamer, and occasionally gave a little heart.
However, he lost himself in the female streamers' constant calls for "little brother" and occasionally sent them small gifts in response to their sweet talk.
Finally, he came across a female internet celebrity on Douyin whose profile page was called "Yuanyuan Doesn't Eat Cilantro".
At that time, she had just over 10,000 fans. She had a sweet voice and a youthful appearance, which made the original owner spend a lot of Doubi (virtual currency).
The original owner became addicted to sending gifts based on the emotional value provided by the female streamer.
All because of her simple thanks to Brother Ji for the flowers, the beer, and the fireworks.
As the gifts kept getting bigger and bigger, his level in the live stream kept rising.
His online persona is that of a contractor with a little money who runs construction projects.
Listening to the female anchor's sweet words, he felt that the money he spent was really worth it!
Finally, he only kept 800 yuan for himself each month, and he spent all the family's savings.
It wasn't until Lin Jiawen discovered this that he realized the family had no money left.
The two had a big argument about this, which was entirely Lin Jiawen's doing.
Lin Jiawen initially thought he had learned to gamble, but after looking at the transaction history, he discovered that he had actually given all of it to female live streamers as tips.
She was furious when she saw her empty bank card.
My heart sank.
Ask him if he wants to continue living like this?
That's 300,000 yuan in savings at home.
He spent all his money on the female streamer. This money included his earnings from working on construction sites and the money Lin Jiawen had earned from selling fruit over the years.
The two got married without any financial support or material savings.
I'm still renting a place.
Now everything is gone.
Lin Jiawen told him to apply for a refund, to get back as much as he could, otherwise he shouldn't live like this anymore.
However, the original owner felt ashamed and refused.
Wouldn't that cause his public image to collapse?
Lin Jiawen was very disappointed in him and filed for divorce.
Unexpectedly, the original owner agreed.
Yuanyuan agreed to meet him because she doesn't eat cilantro.
Because of the numerous gifts she sent, the original owner added her on WeChat, but most of the time the original owner would send her messages for fun on her own.
At most, the other party would just say to him, "Brother Ji, I'm about to start my broadcast."
Brother Ji, I have a PK today.
Brother Ji, I haven't seen you in the live stream for so long. Don't you come to see Yuanyuan anymore?
Ji Huaizhi's heart was filled with excitement.
He felt that Yuanyuan liked him too, after all, he had Yuanyuan's private WeChat and chatted with her.
Now that Yuanyuan has agreed to meet him, doesn't that mean there's a chance?
So when Lin Jiawen proposed a divorce, he agreed without hesitation.
Lin Jiawen was heartbroken. Her money was all spent on gifts by the original owner of the body. There was no property dispute between them. She raised her child alone and ran a fruit business.
The original owner couldn't wait to meet the internet celebrity after her divorce.
However, before they met, the female internet celebrity had him level up to 60 in the live stream.
She agreed to meet him.
Ji Huaizhi was overjoyed when he heard this, but after checking, he found that it would cost about 1.8 million to reach level 60, and he didn't have that much money.
Finally, he said online that his project payment had not yet come through, and that he had used all his money to pay for the project.
Therefore, you can only level up to around level 55.
They also said that reaching level 55 would be about a million.
Aren't you going to give me even this much face?
The other party agreed after hearing what he said.
Finally, he asked his family for money, saying that his daughter Yalan was sick. Upon hearing this, his family immediately sent him money.
Then he took out a lot of online loans.
They managed to scrape together about 600,000 yuan.
All the votes were given to Yuanyuan who doesn't eat cilantro.
