Chapter 55: Live-Streaming Sales
The moon hung high, its silver light as thin as gauze, dyeing the entire Still Abyss West Lake into a hazy ink painting.
After a quick glance at the night scene, Chen Beiwu lowered his head and began checking the live-streaming equipnt.
Once everything was confird to be in order, he tapped into the Ten Thousand Spirits app and started the stream.
【The missing person has returned?】
【Finally, the strear is live again】
【Eighteen-Year-Old Sexy Mother Cockroach sent the strear a sports car*1 – cultivation is important, but don’t give up live-streaming】
“Thank you, Eighteen-Year-Old Sexy Mother Cockroach, for the sports car.” Chen Beiwu expressed his heartfelt thanks.
Although this benefactor’s userna was a bit abstract, their generosity was undeniable—they gifted him a sports car every month.
On the Ten Thousand Spirits app, a single sports car was worth ten spirit yuan. After the platform's share, Chen Beiwu could receive five spirit yuan, making it one of his main sources of inco from part-ti streaming.
“Good evening, fellow Daoists. This is Tiansource Fishing Fortune.” After his opening line, Chen Beiwu turned the cara toward Still Abyss West Lake and got straight to the point.
“The strear suspects that the reason no fish were caught before is because there are no fish in the Pearl River. So tonight, the strear has co to Still Abyss West Lake in Fallen Dragon Manor to fish.”
“Take a guess, how many fish do you think the strear can catch tonight?” Chen Beiwu began engaging with his audience.
【???】
【This is a classic case of blaming the path when the person isn’t good enough】
【LOL, in a mont Fish Run-Run will prove with facts that there are no fish in the Pearl River or in Still Abyss West Lake】
Seeing the flood of bullet comnts on the screen, Chen Beiwu chuckled.
Strears didn’t need to be too logical in their speech. Sotis, saying silly things on purpose could spark audience interest and greatly increase the volu of comnts in the stream.
“Tonight, the strear will teach you how to fish at night.” With that, Chen Beiwu prepared the bait and cast the hook.
【Reversing the Celestial Pole!】
【Co on, place your bets. I wager Fish Run-Run will fish up a corpse tonight】
【Stop with the jokes. Still Abyss West Lake is managed and patrolled by Immortal Alliance staff. It’s impossible for corpses to appear】
【Heh heh, but dead fish might appear】
Half an hour later, looking at the withered branch, river mussel, water weeds, discarded fishing net, and water snake in front of him, Chen Beiwu fell into deep thought.
He was a man of substance!
If he couldn’t catch a fish, it definitely wasn’t a problem with his technique—it had to be a matter of luck.
The gray misfortune aura appearing in the chaotic heavens and earth must have been the culprit.
With that in mind, Chen Beiwu slightly adjusted his phone screen and began his advertisent: “If you want to have the sa impressive fishing skills as the strear, good cuisine is absolutely essential.”
【Assault!】
【Outrageous! If the strear dares to advertise now, he’ll dare to hit his fans in the future!】
【Strear, cut it out. Who wants your corpse-fishing skills? I certainly don’t!】
Ignoring the barrage of s in the bullet comnts, Chen Beiwu took out a box and opened it, revealing Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium mixed with Dragon Head Dendrobium.
“Everyone knows Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium. On the Immortal Alliance Official Website, the average quality sells for ten spirit yuan per jin, while the premium Dragon Head Dendrobium goes for thirty spirit yuan per jin.”
“But tonight, the strear has successfully helped everyone drive down the price of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium.”
【Stop selling, strear! Look at your fishing rod, a fish is on!】
【Judging by the pull, it looks like a big one.】
【Holy crap, it looks like an exotic fish—Jade Scale Fish!】
As the silhouette of a sword-shaped fish leaped from the river’s surface, not only did the bullet comnts surge in the stream, but the stream’s popularity also skyrocketed, instantly surpassing one hundred thousand viewers.
Seeing the sudden shift, Chen Beiwu imdiately stopped the sales pitch, rushed to the riverbank, and tightly gripped the bent fishing rod.
“This fish is at least ten jin.” He explained while tugging on the line.
After reeling it in for five or six minutes and confirming the stream had peaked in popularity, Chen Beiwu gave a hard pull. A Jade Scale Fish, about two feet long, instantly appeared on screen for all viewers to see.
【Aweso! There really are Jade Scale Fish in Still Abyss West Lake!】
【Damn! The strear hit the jackpot. That Jade Scale Fish is worth at least fifteen hundred spirit yuan】
【Damn it, watching the strear catch a big one is more painful than being skunked myself】
At this mont, the entire screen was covered in dense question marks.
In front of all the viewers, Chen Beiwu displayed the details of the Jade Scale Fish and exclaid in delight, “See this? This is the strear’s real ability. Haters, speak now!”
【It’s over. Fish Run-Run is putting on airs again】
【Impossible! No way! There’s definitely sothing off about that Jade Scale Fish】
【Strear, can I buy that fish for five hundred spirit yuan? I’m a student】
【Strear, I’ll offer one thousand spirit yuan! I’m an eighteen-year-old pure-hearted high school girl】
Carefully storing the Jade Scale Fish, Chen Beiwu cleared his throat, ignored the comnts, and resud his planned sales pitch.
“This batch of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium is top quality. On the official site, it could sell for thirty spirit yuan per jin.”
“But tonight, to give back to fans, the strear is paying out of pocket. Not thirty yuan, not even twenty—just nine point nine spirit yuan, and you can bring ho a whole jin of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium.”
“Because the strear is subsidizing this at a loss, there are only five hundred jin of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium available in the stream. Once it’s sold out, it’s off the shelves.”
“If you like it, make sure to place your orders quickly.”
After saying this, Chen Beiwu glanced at his phone screen and saw that the five hundred orders of Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium he had listed sold out within three minutes.
“The Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium is sold out. I can’t add more. If I keep selling, I’ll go bankrupt. So tonight’s stream ends here.”
As soon as he finished, Chen Beiwu tapped to end the stream, leaving behind a barrage of question marks on the screen.
“Glub.”
Just then, Gold Egg leapt out of the lake.
Chen Beiwu stepped forward and patted Gold Egg’s fin, silently communicating: ‘Good job. I’ll give you a bonus al later.’
“Glub.”
Looking at Gold Egg, Chen Beiwu began calculating tonight’s gains in his mind.
After deducting the 10% Immortal Alliance transaction tax, 10% platform share for the Ten Thousand Spirits app, and subtracting the costs, shipping fees, and potential returns—
His net profit from tonight’s sales ca to around three thousand one hundred spirit yuan. That was equivalent to thirty or forty years’ salary for an average Qi Refining cultivator—more than enough to buy a cultivation thod.
‘This profit is unbelievable!’ Chen Beiwu couldn’t help but marvel.
With such profits in live-streaming sales, it was no wonder that Foundation Establishnt wanderers and Golden Core True Persons from the Immortal Alliance would selflessly share cultivation experience on the Ten Thousand Spirits app to grow their follower base—and once they had traffic, they would all dive into sales.
The reason Chen Beiwu hadn’t attempted sales before was simply due to lacking quality supply channels and the fact that his family had low risk tolerance, making them unable to afford any gamble.
After all, successful strear sellers were still a minority.
Chen Beiwu’s success in tonight’s sales boiled down to two factors.
One was catching the Jade Scale Fish, using the overnight riches angle to draw in a massive audience.
The other was the high-quality Yellow-Tailed Dendrobium mixed with Dragon Head Dendrobium hanging in his shopping cart.
The only downside was that paynt settlents on the Ten Thousand Spirits app took ti—but Chen Beiwu was already getting impatient.
He glanced at his phone and took out Guan Ange’s na card.
Jade Scale Fish wasn’t the kind of delicacy an average cultivator could afford. He needed to find the right buyer.
Guan Ange ca from the Fallen Dragon Guan Clan, a family that had raised fish for generations. He would surely know its value.
