Since Lin Jin rented an apartment and was broke, naturally he couldn't afford the low cut outfit that the black cat required. However, the black cat was very thoughtful had swiped one from somewhere to fulfill Lin Jin's punishment.
Motherf*cker! Why are you so attentive when causing trouble?
Lin Jin glanced at the new clothing item that appeared in the inventory tab, then listlessly collapsed on his desk. Wu Min, tired from delivering food every noon and evening, was also slumped over his desk, looking exhausted liked Lin Jin.
"Lin Jin, why do you seem so down," Wen Xuan muttered as he played on his phone. He would occasionally glance at Lin Jin and found that Lin Jin’s expression wasn’t right "What's wrong? Is someone else spying on you again?"
"Well, not that" Lin Jin sighed.
If he doesn’t do this week's task, then he wouldn't need to stream or wear any low cut outfit as demanded by the black cat since the punishment was already gone anyways. But Lin Jin found this week’s task rewards quite tempting. Whether it was the opportunity to lose weight or a part time job, both were enticing.
You must know that Lin Jin was not just fat but also broke... The only part time jobs available at school were either food delivery or food cashier. Though being a delivery person helped with losing weight, it was just too exhausting and paid too little.
Imagine if the job offered after completing the task was in customer service or something like that. Wouldn’t that be nice? Sitting in an air conditioned room during the summer and chatting with people on the phone sounded quite good.
"Speaking of which, Wen Xuan, I've set up a live stream channel," Lin Jin suddenly brought up.
Wen Xuan turned around in confusion. "So, you want me help by watching the stream?"
"No, I want you to join the stream with me and liven things up," Lin Jin said seriously and made an offer to Wen Xuan "If my stream takes off and I start making money, I’ll give you... one fifth!"
Wen Xuan turned his head away in disgust.
"One third then!" Lin Jin immediately got anxious when he saw that. Lin Jin inched closer, "If that doesn’t work, half is fine! I can’t go higher than that."
Seeing Wen Xuan still unmoved, Lin Jin tried his best to persuade him.
"Think about it, the top streamers make millions a month and tens of millions a year. Even if I don’t reach that level, a few thousand a month isn’t out of reach. Look at me, I’m so pretty and can act cute. I’m great at gaming too, just not that good at talking. But you? You’re handsome and your mouth can blabber on, perfect for helping me boost the vibe." After Lin Jin got the increase eloquence, even if his words were a bit confusing, it was still enough to cause Wen Xuan to be taken aback.
"When I become popular, even if I’m just making ten thousand a month, we’ll still split it fifty fifty! That means you’ll have at least 5000 yuan in your account. That’s way better than just lazing around in the dorm, watching TV, and playing games alone, right?" Lin Jin was even convinced himself as he looked at Wen Xuan with his big shining eyes "Right?"
Wen Xuan found himself nodding subconsciously, then suddenly snapped back to reality.
This Lin Jin person can f*cking make tens of thousands a month from streaming? If that were possible, everyone would be a streamer by now, okay?
"What the hell do you want to do?" Wen Xuan glanced at Lin Jin, suspecting he was just messing around. "If you're really bored, I can recommend a couple of games to play, like Civilization V and VI and Paradox Interactive's four hits. Start one up when you’re bored in your apartment. One game is enough to keep you busy until the next day."
Lin Jin looked utterly confused at this response.
But it seemed Wen Xuan truly wasn’t interested in streaming. Lin Jin couldn't force it and just sighed, resting his head back on the desk.
As for Wu Min, though he was usually talkative, he would also become a quiet guy when talking with strangers. Plus, he had to deliver food now and was always tired every day. He would definitely not be willing to join Lin Jin on his livestream.
So… Xia Tian?
Xia Tian seems to have just quit his job and now had nothing to do, right? Maybe it’s possible to pull him over to join the live stream?
Even though Xia Tian usually had a cold demeanor, maybe that would add a unique touch to the live stream?
Lin Jin frowned as he pondered about Xia Tian, suddenly feeling that teasing the iceberg Xia Tian on stream would actually be a good gimmick.
Hmm, but getting Xia Tian to join the stream seemed impossible, though it was worth a try.
There were only two morning classes on Friday morning. After four hours of class, Lin Jin and Wen Xuan had lunch in the school cafeteria. Then Lin Jin scurried back, determined to trick Xia Tian into joining his grand livestreaming venture.
Anyways, even if you include today, it was just streaming for three days. If he could hit five thousand viewers, then he'd complete the task, become famous overnight, and then ditch streaming forever. Even if he didn’t complete the task, Lin Jin wasn't the type to have nothing to do and look for trouble anyways, so he could just forget about this streaming stuff.
He was never someone who liked to show off. Even after streaming for several hours the previous night, he still felt like it wasn’t his kind of thing.
As for making money from streaming... Lin Jin was well aware of his limitations and what he had said to Wen Xuan was just bluffing.
After returning to his rental room and lying in bed like a salted fish for half an hour, Lin Jin turned to Braised Pork and said, "Go up and check if Xia Tian is home."
Braised Pork cocked its head, seemingly understanding Lin Jin's words, then wagged its tail and jumped out the window.
Perhaps because it was often possessed by the black cat, Braised Pork had picked up the doglike tail wagging habit of the black cat.
Moments later, Braised Pork returned to Lin Jin's rental room with the white cat that was a month younger than itself in its mouth. While Lin Jin was still in a daze, he heard a knock at the door.
Well, even though Braised Pork misunderstood Lin Jin's intention, the desired outcome was ultimately achieved.
Opening the door, Lin Jin was greeted by Xia Tian, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes.
"Where's my cat?" Xia Tian’s expression was as stoic as an iceberg, but the dark circles around his eyes gave him a slight worn out look.
"Over there." Lin Jin pointed to Braised Pork by the bed, who was still happily playing with the white cat.
After Xia Tian got his cat and was about to leave, he turned back and sat down on the chair in Lin Jin's place, asking, "What do you want from me? The police haven't given any updates yet, but I’m guessing we’ll hear something these couple of days."
"I want to do a livestream with you," Lin Jin said bluntly.
"?" Xia Tian looked at Lin Jin in confusion.
"Didn’t you quit your job and are just doing nothing at home anyways? So let’s livestream together. On the off chance we get popular in the future, we can even get a contract and earn a salary. We’ll split it fifty fifty, what do you say?" Lin Jin looked hopefully at Xia Tian. "It's just for these few days, and if it doesn’t work out, you can go back to job hunting."
"I’m not planning to look for another job. I’m thinking about selling my car and going back to my hometown" Xia Tian lowered his head and pet the white cat in his lap.
"So decadent?" Lin Jin stared at Xia Tian in disbelief.
This guy in front of him looked pretty good, especially if he didn’t have those dark circles under his eyes. His usual energy made him seem like a vigorous man, but who could’ve thought that he would bail right after quitting his job?
"The wages here in Xiamen are low and the cost of living is high. I never planned to stay here long" Xia Tian sighed and shook his head. "If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll leave next week and go back and deliver food."
"No worries, there's still time! From now on, livestream with me!"
Yep, the mission to save a decadent youth is starting now!
