Xu Shengxia exited the Alipay interface. She swiped a couple of times on the original owner's phone screen and found the livestreaming app, Kuaiyin, which had already been downloaded.
She tapped on it, navigated to the "Beauty Streamers" category, and started searching for a male streamer she could give gifts to.
When she first entered the category, it was mostly filled with scantily-clad young women... Xu Shengxia gave it a cursory glance without paying much attention and continued to scroll down.
She finally scrolled down to a few male streamers, but when she clicked on their streams, their looks were rather disappointing...
After not hearing a notification from the system, Xu Shengxia decisively backed out and resumed her search.
After searching like this for about twenty minutes... Xu Shengxia finally heard the system's notification tone:
DING! [The Consumption Rebate System is now scanning:
Name: Jiang Xingzhou
Age: 19
Height: 180cm
Weight: 59kg
Overall Appearance Score: 8.1
Current Affection Toward Host: 10
This male meets the system's rebate criteria. The host may now spend!]
Hearing this, Xu Shengxia perked up and began to observe the male streamer carefully.
The male streamer's popularity was very low. There were only about a dozen people in his stream room, and a few of them were bot accounts.
Perhaps because of his low popularity, he really doted on his fans. When a fan wanted to join him on stream, he would bring them on one by one for a voice chat.
As for his looks... he was the gentle, puppy-dog type. When he smiled, he revealed two small canines, making him endearing and cute.
When Xu Shengxia's ID, a brand-new account, entered the room, he was especially polite, offering a word of welcome. He didn't pressure her to send gifts or even ask her to follow him and tap the little red heart. After his greeting, he immediately turned his attention back to chatting with his fans.
Perhaps because he wasn't pushy about money and had a courteous attitude, Xu Shengxia's initial impression of Jiang Xingzhou was quite good.
She first hit 'Follow', then tapped the red heart before opening the gift interface to top up her account.
"Thank you to the user with the ID ending in 6330 for the follow and the little heart. If you want to chat, 6330, I can bring you on stream too~"
Just as Xu Shengxia was entering the top-up screen, Jiang Xingzhou thanked her for following and liking his stream.
At the same time, the system announced:
Jiang Xingzhou's Affection +5
Jiang Xingzhou's Affection +5
[Current Affection Collected: 20]
Xu Shengxia didn't reply.
But when she heard the affection report, she was secretly taken aback.
'He really is a newbie streamer, so easy to please.'
'Just a follow and a like, and his affection for me is already at 20.'
'When he sees me send him a gift later, won't it jump to 30?'
'Although I only have 6.66 yuan right now...'
But Xu Shengxia felt this was a strong possibility.
However, the thought was fleeting; she didn't dwell on it.
After all, her main goal right now was to make enough money to support herself.
'Affection points and all that...'
She wasn't interested until she saw some tangible benefits.
In just a moment, Xu Shengxia had successfully topped up her account with the 6 yuan from her WeChat.
As for the 0.66 yuan in her Alipay... it didn't meet the minimum top-up amount, so Xu Shengxia left it alone.
Once the top-up was complete, Xu Shengxia picked out a gift.
In the end, she chose to send six beers in a row... one beer cost 1 yuan, so six beers was exactly 6 yuan.
After she sent it, text instantly popped up on the stream's screen:
User 201706306330 sent Beer x1
User 201706306330 sent Beer x2
...
...
User 201706306330 sent Beer x6
Immediately after, the sound of coins dropping came from both the system and WeChat simultaneously.
The system:
[Detected Host has successfully spent 6 yuan on Jiang Xingzhou. 12 yuan has been rebated to your WeChat Wallet balance. Please check your account!]
WeChat:
[12 yuan received via WeChat Pay!]
Listening to these two notifications, Xu Shengxia felt the joy of making money for the first time!
'So 6 yuan really can turn into 12 yuan in an instant!'
'How magical.'
More fired up than before, Xu Shengxia quickly opened the gift interface to top up her account again.
