Star Tycoon

Chapter 42 Pessimism
Nothing much happened in the afternoon.

In the evening, Tian Ersan thought about the fifteen tons of canned goods that would be delivered the next day or the day after.

There are three rooms near the entrance: one is for office use, one is for storing foam boxes, and one is for storing sunflower seeds and canned goods.

The three rooms next door could hold some canned goods.

However, considering that so many canned goods were not easy to store, Tian Ersan quickly thought about how to deal with them.

After seeing the plastic sheet that Su Mingjian was using to work, Tian Ersan realized that the solution was very simple.

Just put them all on the ground and cover them with waterproof and sun-protective tape, they'll all be shipped out in a few days anyway.

The only possible unexpected event is demolition.

However, the demolition is not happening so quickly; a large number of houses in the vicinity have not been demolished.

Since we've already agreed to the demolition, there's no reason for those people to be in such a hurry to demolish the houses.

A little leniency shouldn't be a problem.

Considering the worst-case scenario, if those people refuse to compromise, then there's no point in staying in this awful place, and even less point in continuing to do business.

Tian Ersan pondered whether he could bear the worst possible outcome.

First of all, there are no problems today, and there are no problems with tomorrow's orders either.

I won't order Wang Mingqu's canned goods tomorrow.

Would Wang Mingqu, driven by his failed business dealings, resort to vicious revenge and smash the canned food someone had given him?
That's too extreme...

Although Tian Ersan likes to consider things in the worst possible light and make more plans, he is not overly pessimistic.

It's not like you can't drive your own electric tricycle; it can still hit people.

Moreover, as an online streamer, I have quite a few friends.

Instead of considering forced demolition, it's better to consider what to do if bad guys come to cause trouble, since that's a much higher chance.

I also have a lot of money in my stock account. What if I lose it all in the stock market?

Even considering the worst-case scenario, even if all the canned goods break, there's still money available to withdraw from the livestreaming account next month.

Another factor is personal credit; some wealthy female anchors are willing to offer some financial assistance.

Even if you go bankrupt, you can still borrow a few hundred thousand.

As for what to do if your live streaming account gets banned... well.

Tian Ersan felt that even if everything was in trouble, he could start over and go directly to a big city to find a job at a large company.

I know the CEO of the video website myself. As long as I have a recommender, it's not difficult to find a job through my own abilities.

The reason we took a positive approach before was to avoid such extreme events from happening.

Tian Ersan went to the agricultural machinery store and bought waterproof plastic sheeting.

In summer, grains need to be laid out to dry. In small towns, there are many places that sell these, and it's easy to buy a large roll at a reasonable price.

After a short while of being busy, it was already evening.

It was time for the three grandmothers to go home for dinner.

After Tian Ersan came out, Granny Li got up and said what she had prepared to say to him.

"Boss, from now on, just give me the old man's money. I'm afraid he'll squander it."

She was afraid he would squander money; everyone knew what she was thinking.

However, Tian Ersan agreed, saying, "Okay, then we'll take it one day at a time and pay him tonight when we settle accounts tomorrow night."

"Okay! I'll take care of it!" Granny Li readily agreed, beaming with joy.

The other mother-in-law had the same idea; women just like to manage money.

Tian Ersan didn't waste words with the old women. If the two old men were determined to get money, he would naturally give it to them.

If you refuse to speak up, then you will naturally have to speak up.

Considering the presence of red-light districts nearby, Tian Ersan still preferred to pay the mothers-in-law wages.

The old man went to the red-light district in the middle of the night and caused trouble, which is also a problem for Tian Ersan.

Before long, two old men came to work, along with a child who helped move the bed and kettle.

When grandparents earn money, they buy their grandchildren food, school bags, and stationery. The grandchildren also appreciate their grandparents earning money. Children in small towns don't have the concept of pocket money; they shamelessly ask for it, and most of them feel ashamed every time they ask for money.

The concept of poverty will stay with many people for their entire lives.

Tian Ersan didn't have such a terrible childhood because he was an orphan for life.

Fortunately, after entering the house, I saw three women who were my female friends. We ate, chatted, and relaxed together, having a very carefree time.

They were as open as female students studying abroad, already used to living together as a group of four, and didn't shy away from washing themselves or changing clothes.

Tian Ersan started his live stream on time, opening the live stream room as if he were going to work.

Entering the live stream, we would chat casually for a few minutes and then check for game updates.

New players usually don't check the updates, hero changes, or adjustments.

This is unnecessary, because most of the heroes are unfamiliar to us, so there's no need to follow the version updates.

Slightly adjusting those numbers is meaningless to novice players unless there are interesting mechanic changes; otherwise, they won't care.

Practical experience is more important than empty talk; if you win, you win; if you lose, you complain.

Tian Ersan soon found himself in the Bronze rank, fighting against monsters and demons alongside a group of noob teammates who knew absolutely nothing about how to play the game, and some of whom couldn't even walk properly.

Unexpected events frequently occur in matches between noobs, with the comedic effect often surpassing that of expert duels.

People are more interested in seeing performances by all sorts of monsters and demons than in winning or losing.

After two rounds, some viewers in the live stream couldn't wait any longer.

[Hey streamer, playing games is boring, go watch some female streamers.]

[I'll tip you when I do ward rounds!]

[Sao Ji is dancing, go check it out!]

[Zhi Liao just went live with an ugly streamer, go check it out, she was laughing happily while talking to other streamers.]

[Damn! She dared to cheat on our second brother! I thought that woman was pretentious. I'll send you gifts; if you lose, she'll have to apologize for calling the wrong thing!]

Tian Ersan felt these people were crazy. The female anchor isn't their wife, so what business is it of theirs who she interacts with? If their wives really cheated, they'd probably just pretend to be cowards.

Besides, those female anchors are obviously not virgins. They've had several boyfriends and even slept with several "big brothers." They've been clubbing until 3 or 4 in the morning. Do you really think they're innocent and pure?
So what if women can't talk to men?
It's bad enough that he's being cheated on, but now he wants to dump it on me!

Tian Ersan said seriously, "Why should I care about a woman's private life when I get to know her and make friends with her? We're all just working here, colleagues who are making a living on the same platform. Who she talks to and what she does are her own freedom. Don't be so strict, and don't try to provoke or encourage me."

Are you even a man? I'm unfollowing you!

[Coward!]

Are you a monk?

What a coward!

Soon, various unfollow notifications appeared in the live stream.

Seeing the various threats, Tian Ersan, who had already planned his career path, naturally wouldn't tolerate them and casually said, "Keep playing games. I'm a game streamer, don't talk to me about women."

Do you prefer men and not women?

Tian Ersan quickly said, "I must correct this: I am male, and I like women!"

"Do you think I'd lack women?!"

Tian Ersan pointed to his face, "I don't have women in my heart! It's not that I don't have women around me!"

"If I ever become a monk, it won't be because I've come to terms with things, but because I've fallen for a nun in a temple!"

"A husky can't become a wolf, and a simp can't get into bed!"

"When love comes, I'll cherish it! When love doesn't come, I'll focus on making money!"

"A woman will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!"

Every sentence was classic, and every line revealed true feelings. Soon, someone recorded the screen and took screenshots, which were then posted on various forums and communities.

Overnight, Tian Ersan gained another 3,000 followers.

Overnight, Tian Ersan slept with three young, beautiful, and flirtatious married women and girls, instead of remaining aloof from women like those audience members who advised him against it.
