Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Zhou Cheng was not averse to the new tasks from the system; on the contrary, he found them quite interesting.

Winning people's hearts and minds requires far more skill than simply throwing money at the problem.

He got out of the pool, dried himself off, changed into a bathrobe, and then downloaded the app called "Shark Live" on his phone.

As someone who used to work long hours and was often overtime, Zhou Cheng didn't know much about live streaming. At most, he had seen some female dancers or male game streamers on short video platforms.

He registered a new account with a simple ID consisting of just one word: 诚 (chéng).

The profile picture is the system's default gray figure.

Upon entering the platform, you are immediately greeted by a variety of colorful live streaming rooms.

[Dance Battle: The Loser Barks Like a Dog!]

[Talented live streamer plays the guzheng online!]

[Gaming pro, carrying his fans to the top rank!]

Zhou Cheng randomly clicked into the most popular live stream.

On the screen, a heavily made-up female streamer was striking poses for the camera, shouting in a high-pitched voice, "Thanks for the rocket, big brother! Big brother is awesome! What dance would you like to see, big brother? I'll dance it for you right away!"

At the bottom of the screen, the gift effects never stopped, with various sports cars and rockets flying around, and the barrage of comments scrolling by at lightning speed.

[Brother, you're awesome!]

My wife is so beautiful!

[The top spender is once again the super-rich "Dragon Head Rising"!]

Zhou Cheng glanced at the contribution leaderboard and saw that the person ranked first, "Dragon Head Rising," had already spent over 300,000 RMB.

He wasn't interested and simply left.

These live-streaming rooms, built on cookie-cutter scripts and beauty filters, are too cheap and too boring.

The "prey" the system is referring to is definitely not this kind of person.

He needs a more challenging goal.

What kind of target qualifies as a qualified "prey"?

Zhou Cheng leaned back on the sofa, poured himself a glass of red wine, and began to think.

First of all, the "prey" cannot be too vulgar.

If a rocket can make her call me "Dad," then there's not much sense of accomplishment in controlling it.

She must have her own pride and her own bottom line.

Secondly, she must be in a difficult situation.

Only someone in dire straits would develop such an extreme dependence on and longing for the hand extended to them.

Adding flowers to brocade is never as memorable as providing charcoal in the snow.

Finally, she must have enough potential.

Just like investing, you should invest in high-performing stocks.

Her appearance, talent, or personality must have value that makes her worth his "investment".

With these three criteria, the screening process becomes much easier.

Instead of going to those popular live stream rooms, Zhou Cheng clicked on the "New Streamers" section.

This is where true hidden talents reside, and also where the most struggles and helplessness occur.

He patiently swiped past them one by one.

Most new streamers are either mediocre in talent or too shy to open up, resulting in awkward conversations in front of the camera and only a handful of robot viewers in their live streams.

Zhou Cheng scrolled for more than half an hour, and was getting a little sleepy. Just as he was about to give up, the cover of a live broadcast caught his attention.

The cover features a girl's profile, without any beauty filters or even much makeup.

She sat at a piano, her fingers resting on the keys, the light from the streetlights streaming in from the window, casting a soft glow on her.

The entire image is so clean it doesn't look like a live stream cover.

The title of the live stream was simple: 【Playing the piano for a while, chatting.】

Number of viewers watching online: 7.

Zhou Cheng clicked on it.

The live stream room was quiet, with no noisy background music.

The girl was looking down, intently playing Debussy's "Clair de Lune".

Her technique is excellent; the notes flow from her fingertips with a soothing power.

The camera was a bit far away, but her face was still clearly visible.

She's very pretty; she has a pure and innocent look that's not aggressive at all.

She had fair skin, delicate features, and wore a simple white T-shirt with her hair casually tied back.

She looks more like a music student than a broadcaster.

A few messages drifted across the screen.

[The host plays so beautifully!]

Is this young lady from a music academy?

There are so few people, it's a pity.

After the girl finished playing a piece, she looked up, smiled slightly at the camera, and revealed a pair of cute dimples.

"Thank you for your kind words. My name is Su Qingyao, and I am a third-year student majoring in piano at Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music." Her voice was very pleasant, as clear as a spring.

Wow, they're really professional!

Why is this young lady doing a live stream?

Su Qingyao's eyes dimmed slightly when she saw this comment, but she quickly smiled again: "Because... I need to earn some living expenses."

She didn't say much, but Zhou Cheng could sense that this girl had a story.

Just then, a system notification popped up at the top of the live stream.

[Streamer "Yaoyao" has joined the random PK battle against "Queen Feifei". The PK lasts five minutes, and the penalty for losing is a truth or dare.]

Su Qingyao was clearly taken aback, not expecting that the matchmaking would be automatic.

The screen split in two, and a female streamer with a completely different style appeared on the right.

She was heavily made up and dressed provocatively. The background behind her was a KTV private room, where several men were making a ruckus around her.

"Oh, is that a girl playing the piano over there?" The female streamer named Feifei spoke with a vulgar, sleazy tone. "Girl, how many people are in your stream? Don't bother struggling, just surrender, hahaha!"

Su Qingyao's face paled, and she remained silent.

Once the PK bar appears, the difference becomes apparent.

On Feifei's side, the gifts never stopped; rockets and sports cars came one after another, and the PK bar rose rapidly.

On Su Qingyao's side, only the seven audience members sent a few free glow sticks here and there, and the PK bar barely moved.

The comments section also became chaotic and unpleasant.

Queen Fifi will win!

That little white rabbit across the way, I just want to bully it.

[Haha, let's make her do a truth-or-dare exercise later and ask her if she's still a virgin!]

Su Qingyao stared at the filthy comments, biting her lip tightly. Her already pale face turned even paler.

Her hands, resting on the piano keys, trembled slightly.

She wanted to turn off the live stream, but the thought of the tuition fees she owed and her mother's medical expenses prevented her from doing so.

Five minutes felt like an eternity.

Without a doubt, Su Qingyao lost, and lost miserably.

On Queen Feifei's side, she was laughing hysterically: "Little sister, a bet's a bet, right? My question is simple: how much money have you made in all this time streaming? Tell me and make your big sister happy."

This question is absolutely ruthless.

Su Qingyao's eyes reddened. Looking at her pitiful double-digit earnings from her backend, a sense of shame and powerlessness overwhelmed her instantly.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Even the few viewers in the live stream couldn't stand it anymore.

This is outrageous! Is it fun to bully newcomers?

Don't cry, we support you!

But these words of comfort seem so pale and powerless in the face of cruel reality.

Su Qingyao took a breath.

Facing the camera, she forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "I'm sorry everyone, I... I might not be suited for live streaming. That's all for today, thank you for watching."

After saying that, she prepared to click the end-of-stream button.

She gave up.

And just as her finger was about to touch the screen.

A dazzling golden light illuminated the entire live stream room.

A huge banner effect appeared in the center of the screen.

[Cheng sent 100 Super Rockets to streamer Yao Yao's live stream!]
