Chapter 8 Live Broadcast
After seeing Li Fang off, Tian Ersan continued his efforts to reach 100,000 yuan.

But there's no rush; continuing as a streamer is fine too.

In this era, mobile data is scarce and expensive, so most people still rely on computers.

The main viewership of the live streams was on several websites focused on anime and manga, but there were also some less reputable websites.

Live streaming is just emerging, but it hasn't fully taken off yet.

Making money isn't easy. Men who want to be live streamers need to be good at talking; you can't be a great live streamer if you can't talk.

Not only do they need to be good at talking, but they also need to be good at creating entertaining content.

Tian Ersan considered many development paths.

I've also considered not showing my face and being a low-key game streamer.

During this period, there were also live streamers who made videos, who didn't need to show their faces, and even their voices were synthesized fake voices.

This kind of field is okay, but it doesn't make money!
If you don't make money, everything else is for nothing.

If you want to make money, you have to show your face, put aside your shame, and treat yourself as an online beggar!
If you don't consider it as such, you must believe it is, and when asking for money, you must be sincere.

The afternoon was another live-streaming session where I sold my dignity to create a spectacle, calling everyone "brother" and "sister" and making myself look like a clown.

Tian Ersan earned seven or eight thousand yuan in just one afternoon today, getting closer and closer to his goal of 100,000 yuan!
But I wasn't very happy.

Feeling down, Tian Ersan thought it would be better to do something practical, such as collecting school uniforms and desks from graduates for new students.

In this small county town, the tables and chairs are not even public; the conditions are so basic that most people can't imagine. You even have to buy your own tables and chairs.

School uniforms also need to be bought, and when studying for the next year's school during summer and winter vacations, old books need to be obtained from older students.

There are many business opportunities, and you can make some money no matter how much you earn.

Does anyone want a high school uniform?

"No way, group owner, are you selling school uniforms after graduating high school?"

Although Tian Ersan is handsome, he's not a high school student!

Before I could reply, someone else spoke up.

"I want it, is it true?"

"Absolutely genuine! Honest and trustworthy! Didn't the college entrance exams end today? I collected a lot of good students' study notes, as well as high school uniforms."

Do you have any photos?

Tian Ersan quickly took screenshots of some study materials and notes and posted them in the chat group, along with photos of the test takers taken in the exam hall today.

"Honest and fair dealing! Payment first, delivery later, guaranteed by a content creator with 10,000 followers!"

How much does the school uniform cost?

"Two hundred each."

"Heartless content creator! Go outside and buy a new one for less than fifty yuan!"

"Mind your own business when it comes to handsome guys! Why don't you buy some study materials? Can you even understand them?"

As the group admin, it's wrong to scold fans. By the time Tian Ersan realized this, it was too late; he had just remembered that he was no longer a netizen.

So he quickly corrected himself, saying, "I don't understand it either, but it's pretty good to display it at home to show off and prove that I'm a high school student. I can also do cosplay!"

"Group owner, you have such a broad perspective!"

Tian Ersan typed: "How about getting a set to reminisce, to experience the learning atmosphere of senior year, and see how much of the senior year knowledge I still remember?"

"No need to try, you'll definitely fail."

"I have forgotten it long ago."

"I only attended high school for one year; senior year is too far away for me."

Soon, the group was filled with all sorts of nonsense, and few people were willing to pay for knowledge.

However, the cost of anime and manga is not low. Although 99% of the users are students who are just enjoying it for free, there are also quite a few wealthy people.

Tian Ersan quickly expanded his business to developed regions such as Beijing and Shanghai. With only Wang Linlin's school uniform and study materials by his side, Tian Ersan soon received full payment deposits from twelve wealthy men and women.

This demonstrates the monetization capabilities of popular content creators; a well-known streamer easily gains trust.

This amount of money is far too little compared to the income from live streaming.

And it's very troublesome.

After comparing the two, Tian Ersan became even more certain that live streaming was indeed a quick way to make money.

Now is the time when the industry is at its most critical juncture and on the eve of its rise. Live streamers must show their faces and quickly build up their popularity to establish a foothold.

After closing in the evening, Tian Ersan, Zhang Shuya, and Wang Linlin ate the meat, wine, and side dishes they had bought together in the courtyard.

The three of them were drinking beer together.

"cheers!"

"Thank you, Brother Tian!"

"Thank you, Brother Tian!"

The three of them downed the food in one gulp, and then happily ate pig's ears, peanuts and kelp strips, rice noodles, chicken feet, and steamed buns.

Wang Linlin looked at Tian Ersan, and after Tian Ersan drank half a glass of beer, she took the initiative to bend down and stand up to pour him another glass of beer.

"Brother Tian, ​​let me pour you some wine. Thank you for helping me!"

Wang Linlin was very excited and happy to be able to sit down and have a meal with Tian Ersan.

Tian Ersan was in a good mood when he saw this pretty high school girl who had just graduated talking to him.

After all, she was a high school girl who had just graduated, and she was quite good-looking, exuding the sweet charm of a girl at this age.

Since they had just met, Tian Ersan had a very good impression of this pretty girl.

Tian Ersan said generously, "I already told you not to be so polite. From now on, you and your sister can stay here. As long as you don't go out, you won't run into those bad people outside. Let's close the door and live our peaceful lives!"

Wang Linlin nodded happily.

"Brother Tian, ​​you're so handsome, don't you have a girlfriend?"

Perhaps because she had been drinking, Wang Linlin was able to ask some questions more proactively.

As dusk settled, and with everyone having drunk more wine, and sitting opposite them was a female college student who was only halfway through her education, Tian Ersan had a strange feeling.

"No, my family is poor. If a woman comes to my house and sees me, she'll definitely run away."

Tian Ersan chuckled, unable to understand how the system had fabricated this orphan identity for him out of thin air.

Wang Linlin looked at Tian Ersan shyly, "Brother Tian is a good person! There must be someone who likes Brother Tian!"

Tian Ersan smiled and continued eating.

Zhang Shuya ate some side dishes and then poured herself a glass of beer, drinking about half of it.

After she had enjoyed herself, Zhang Shuya said, "Tian Ge and I will stay on the second floor tonight, and Linlin, you can stay on the first floor."

Wang Linlin ate pig's ear, then looked at the two of them awkwardly.

"There are rats on the first floor, and I'm afraid of rats."

Tian Ersan can do his live stream at the convenience store at night, but it's also good for the two of them to know what he's doing.

“I make money by livestreaming on the second floor at night, it only takes two hours. The downstairs area isn’t ready yet, so it’s convenient for us to live together, and we can look out for each other if anything happens.”

It's not suitable for men and women to live together in this sweltering heat, so Zhang Shuya hesitated for a second before asking, "Linlin, where are you staying?"

Zhang Shuya looked at Wang Linlin.

Wang Linlin made her choice: "I want to stay in a room on the second floor; there are no beds anywhere else."

Tian Ersan said directly, "Then let's live together. I'll just lay a straw mat on the floor at night. When I'm live streaming, you guys can just play on your phones in bed. Don't talk loudly and don't get too close to me and appear in the camera's view."

The two readily agreed, and the three of them chatted and laughed as they ate meat and drank wine together.
