Chapter 112: Chapter 74: Who wouldn’t be moved by Huai?_3

Chu Changkuo’s eyes widened, his pupils dilating in disbelief. Gradually, ecstasy overflowed from within him…

“Really?!”

He asked subconsciously, then immediately retracted his own question.

How could I be so lacking in confidence?!

Why would Huai need to lie to me?!

It must be true!

“Hahaha! Haha…”

He touched the back of his head, his mouth split wide in a grin, and muttered to himself: I knew it, I just knew it… Today’s suffering wasn’t for nothing!

“Bro, today I…”

Mr. Chu suddenly had a strong desire to confide, but Gou Huai didn’t want to listen.

“You summarize first and we’ll talk more tomorrow. Nuannuan is complaining to me about Wu Tianyou right now, it’s a headache… By the way, you don’t need to tell me whether you’re coming tomorrow or not, I really don’t have anything left to teach you. In this area, you’re stronger than me, much stronger!”

“Ah? Is that so? Haha, hahahahaha…”

Chu Changkuo almost laughed himself silly; he couldn’t even find the right words to respond to Su Huai.

Ah, Huai is just too honest. How am I supposed to follow up with that?

Since he had no clue what to say, he simply expressed himself with actions.

Without even thinking, Chu Changkuo shoved that co-branded limited edition Dupont LV lighter into Su Huai’s hands and then grabbed his godbrother’s hand, shaking it vigorously.

“Bro, thank you for your help. Take this little trinket as a gift; good tobacco should be paired with a good lighter… Don’t be polite with me, otherwise, you don’t consider me your brother!”

Su Huai looked at the LV lighter in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

“Okay, you’re a true brother. Then I’ll keep it… By the way, it’s not expensive, right? If it’s expensive, I’ll have to give you a gift in return.”

Look at Huai’s integrity!

Chu Changkuo was touched, hastily waved his hands and shook his head: “It’s not expensive! A little doodad that costs just over ten thousand. How could that compare to our friendship? Just take it, and if you bring up giving something back, I’ll be upset with you!”

“Oh, then it really isn’t expensive.”

Gou Huai muttered to himself about it not being expensive while carefully tucking the lighter under the pillow, perplexed.

What the hell is my worth?

I’m actually wearing a belt worth over twenty thousand, smoking hundreds per box of cigarettes, using a lighter that costs more than ten thousand…

Huh?

None of them were bought by me?

Alright then, no issue, meeting adjourned!

…

When Gou Huai refocused his attention on the live stream, Pei Shuyu had almost stopped crying.

No one knew what she had just shared, but the players’ enthusiasm hadn’t diminished at all.

In fact, the public chat was even more lively.

Flying Sky: “My ability is limited, but if Brother Gou tells us to charge, we must charge! I’ll leave my words here, a thousand a day, at least ten thousand in support, not a penny less or come take my head!”

Wow, not brown-nosing the streamer now, are you starting to brown-nose me?!

In fact, there were indeed more players brown-nosing Su Huai than Pei Shuyu.

Who Dares Freeze My Cheese: “Brother Gou, is it my turn to come on stage? [Teary eyes] Large quantity, fair prices, excellent reputation, please take a quick look at the private chat, begging you!”

Golden Bell: “At such a grand occasion, I am willing to follow in the wake!”

Once Loved Her: “Just from what I’ve seen, the host deserves Brother Gou’s protection. I’m thinking of staying here for a few days; I wonder if the host and Brother Gou would welcome me?”

Both of the latter two are big accounts. Golden Bell is a Heavenly Monarch, who has spent 900,000+. He will ascend at 1.28 million.

Once Loved Her was a once-deactivated legend, probably a brother with a story, having stopped spending for a long time.

But “staying” clearly indicates interest in playing again.

Pei Shuyu really won big with this move.

Su Huai, however, was swamped, with no time to reply to everyone, so Barrage welcomed everyone on his behalf.

Then, he casually established a new rule.

Turbid Dog Number Three (Barrage): “Thank you all for your support for the host and myself. As a newcomer, I’ve felt the intense warmth and sincerity from my brothers and sisters, which touched me deeply, and I really like this atmosphere.”

Turbid Dog Number Three (Barrage): “However, to dispel doubts from outsiders, and to stop the trolls from pointing at my nose and accusing me of being a stooge, I hope everyone can exercise some restraint.”

Turbid Dog Number Three (Barrage): “You guys keep it to a few hundred or a thousand a day, join in the fun without harming yourselves. The rest I’ll take care of.”

Turbid Dog Number Three (Barrage): “After all, it’s I who want the spectacle and who want to make a name on Gou Star. It’s unreasonable to let you all pay too much, right?”

With these words, many felt a sense of relief.

What’s the most disgusting part of playing live stream games?

Encountering stooges.

They’re working the system with backflow tickets at a lower cost, while we’re drawn in to spend real money. If you don’t know, it’s fine, but once you do, it’s enough to make you want to smash your keyboard.

As an experienced old operator, Su Huai understood the psychology of players all too well.

Before the implementation of the fourth phase of the Golden Taxation Project, which aimed to cover the live broadcast industry entirely, the cost of using backflow tickets was very low, which led to the prevalence of stooges.

The internet rumor “tycoons are refunded in full, citizens split thirty to seventy” is definitely exaggerated, but those in the know can keep costs down to about a third, which is true.

Er Ya’s case, referring to the judgments for Picasso and others online, was more or less about ten million backflow and seven million, give or take.

It’s precisely because the guild spammers were rampant that any reasonable person encountering this would think twice: Is Turbid Dog Number Three a guild stooge?

Otherwise, why suddenly take the lead?

Su Huai didn’t care what the NPCs thought of him; the real reason he brought this up was… he wanted to take advantage of setting a trap for Xichu Overlord to “trap” himself in the process.

Why?

Because it’s lucrative!

Earlier, when Su Huai checked the system wallet, he suddenly realized something was amiss.
