Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 7 The Lifelong Pursuit of Stars

The alert was lifted and Zhou Qing's family became safe again.

Shi Nianzhen ate the egg, then ran to the underground garage to smash the dried meat into shreds and ate it.

She ran upstairs and looked out the windows. Seeing that she hadn't disturbed any more zombies, she sat down on the sofa and ended the broadcast.

Penelope's voice immediately came from the phone:

"This live broadcast has ended, and the live broadcast income has been deducted from the consumption expenses and the settlement has been completed."

"You have received 21775 likes."

"You have received 68682.6 Abyss Coins."

"You have received 1089 followers."

The more Shi Nianzhen listened, the deeper her frown deepened. Finally, she interrupted Penelope, "Isn't this data wrong?"

“By the end of the first exposure period, I saw that the number of likes had exceeded 30,000.”

“With the second exposure, the number of likes will only increase.”

“How come I only received over 20,000 likes after settlement?”

Penelope immediately explained:

"Due to the nature of your broadcaster profession, each time you broadcast live, you need to build channels across the myriad worlds. This consumes a huge amount of resources, and it accounts for 70% of the likes you receive for your live broadcast."

Shi Nianzhen was stunned.

"But didn't that mysterious boss say that you have the most advanced and high-end smartphone?"

"Using your live broadcast, I can accurately push my channel to the most appropriate target audience, and I can also deliver the items you sell to the buyers immediately?"

"I thought this was your function."

Shi Nianzhen had an expression that said, "I'm young, don't lie to me."

Penelope's voice was filled with grievance—her master suspected her.

"Yes, I can independently screen and match the most suitable audience, and it also has a delivery function."

"But both of these functions require your strength to build channel support."

“Your power is also praise.”

Shi Nian really didn't expect it to be like this.

It's like buying a car that has great features but consumes a lot of gas.

But this explanation was reasonable, and Shi Nianzhen reluctantly accepted it.

"In other words, the more deliveries we make, the greater the loss?"

"No, it's the construction of the channel that consumes more energy. Once the channel is built, no matter how many times you transmit, only a small amount of energy will be consumed."

Shi Nianzhen immediately seized the opportunity.

"According to what you said, I built the live broadcast channel first, and then I received likes. But I didn't get any likes at the beginning, so how did I build the channel?"

Penelope didn't answer immediately this time like she did the previous two times.

After a while, she replied, "The company paid for you first. After the live broadcast was settled, the company took back these likes."

"Company?" Shi Nianzhen frowned.

It was her first live broadcast, but she didn’t sign a contract with any company.

"Yes, you have started working, haven't you?" Penelope said.

Shi Nianzhen was stunned for a moment.

She got her job when she was about to die and a mysterious boss offered her a trading opportunity.

"Didn't you get mine from the new employee gift package?" Penelope asked again.

"What kind of company are we?" Shi Nianzhen asked.

"Fallen Angel Entertainment," Penelope said.

The phone flew over, and Shi Nianzhen's anchor information page opened on the screen. The company affiliation was clearly written as "Abyss Fallen Angel Entertainment".

The abyss again.

And Abyss Coins...

Shi Nianzhen stared at the word "abyss" and asked, "What does abyss mean?"

"It's a camp. We belong to the Abyss camp." Penelope said.

Wait, isn’t her top brother on the list called the Lord of the Abyss?
She seemed to have seen a comment saying that Lord of the Abyss was the only title.

This company has the name of the Abyss on it... Maybe it's under the name of the Lord of the Abyss?

So the mysterious boss who made a deal with her is the Lord of the Abyss?

If that's the case, then does this count as direct hiring by the boss?

When Shi Nianzhen squatted in front of the iron lump that was emitting red and black light, he discovered that it was a dragon head.

She had just grabbed the dragon horn and smashed it on Zhou Qing's head. Shi Nianzhen touched the dragon horn and asked, "My name is Shi Nianzhen. Excuse me, sir, are you the Lord of the Abyss, and also my boss?"

Dragon Head: “…”

After waiting for a long time, just when Shi Nian really thought that the other party would not answer, a deep and magnetic voice sounded:

"...Has anyone ever told you that being too smart will lead to an early death?"

Shi Nianzhen tilted her head in confusion. "I just want to know if the person who saved me is the same person as my boss. Is this a dangerous secret?"

"...I didn't save you. I just made a deal with you and gave you a chance. You saved yourself."

"..." Shi Nianzhen blinked.

This Lord of the Abyss seems to be very arrogant and doesn't like others to think that he is a good person?
That’s right, since they are in the Abyss camp, maybe they are proud of being bad?

"I'm not your boss either. I just recruited you for someone else."

"……All right."

Whatever he says is what he says.

But he didn't deny that he was the Lord of the Abyss.

"Anyway, thank you." Shi Nianzhen said sincerely.

Lord of the Abyss: “…”

The other party's two transactions with her were very timely, saving her and helping her fight the zombies.

I also rewarded two starships~
Thinking of this, Shi Nianzhen remembered that the number of Abyss Coins was also wrong, and immediately asked Penelope.

"Two starships alone cost 60,000, and with all the other rewards, it must have been over 70,000. Has the fee been deducted?"

The phone flew over immediately.

Penelope said, "Yeah, the company takes 10% to keep the company running."

Shi Nianzhen nodded.

This is reasonable.

As a company artist, all the money earned must be shared with the company. The only difference is the proportion.

Only 10% is deducted for each live broadcast, which is very generous.

"Do you want to convert the 21775 likes you received into attribute points?"

"What are attribute points?" Shi Nianzhen asked.

"You can increase attribute values ​​on your personal dashboard to enhance yourself."

Shi Nianzhen's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately.

She wants to become stronger.

"It has been converted into 217 attribute points."

Shi Nian was really shocked. She didn't expect the conversion ratio to be 100:1.

It’s a bit expensive.

"This settlement has been fully credited to your personal account, please check."

Penelope finished her report.

Another ethereal voice sounded beside Shi Nianzhen's ears:

"Please note:"

"You have received 1000 followers."

"Using this popularity, I gained a second professional skill - 'Self-generated popularity'"

"From now on, all beings in the heavens and the myriad worlds who see you will be attracted to you."

Unlike the near-death state he experienced when he first acquired his initial professional skills, Shi Nianzhen keenly felt a mysterious power descending upon him.

She immediately realized the effect of the "built-in popularity" of professional skills.

Passive skill.

As long as she appears, she will naturally attract other people's attention, arouse attention, bring about topics and heat, and make them want to buy.

Shi Nianzhen's eyes opened wide.

"It's incredible! Isn't this what celebrities pursue their whole lives?"

With this, you will succeed in whatever you do!

Shi Nianzhen has more confidence in the future and is not afraid of the end of the world at all, okay?
Shi Nian really wanted to do another live broadcast immediately to test the effect.

But she squatted on the ground excitedly for a while, then calmed down.

Forget it, she has nothing to broadcast today.

I'd better wait until tomorrow to tidy myself up before going live.
