Chapter 313: So Close, So Beautiful, Visit Hebei This Weekend! A Grand Prize Of 1 Million!
【You have obtained 1 million cash, Physique +10, Charm Value +8, Health Value +8, and Inventory Slots +5.】
Seeing the rewards in the reward list, Jiang Tao’s heart rejoiced again.
Today is another day of great harvest!
Just the rewards for completing the special mission and the shares Gu Hongsheng gave him were already worth millions!
Meanwhile.
That feeling of all the thousands of pores on his body feeling incredibly comfortable reappeared.
This was the concrete manifestation of Physique, Charm Value, and Health Value acting upon him.
Jiang Tao was already used to this.
Calming his inner elation, he tapped his finger to open the live stream button on the App.
The phone screen flashed, and his own image appeared on the screen.
The moment he started streaming, people began to enter the live stream room.
Fans who had already followed him and were browsing Kuaidou received the official notification and stopped watching even the beautiful legs of the black-clad beauties.
They madly flooded into Jiang Tao’s live stream room to watch him.
“The missing person has returned, Jiang Shen is finally live streaming!”
“Jiang Shen is mighty!”
“Is Jiang Shen too busy doing acts of bravery every day to stream?”
“It’s a script, right? These internet celebrities will do anything to gain traffic!”
“Haters, what are you bitching about! The official media even liked Jiang Shen’s videos, what are you yapping about here!”
“Some people see everything as a script, I think his whole life is a script, written by Mo Yan!”
“Seeing Jiang Shen safe and sound puts our minds at ease.”
“Did Jiang Shen learn martial arts before? He seems to have high combat power!”
“The fans are growing so fast, the streamer has great means!”
Looking at the comments scrolling on the public screen, some praised, some questioned, and some blindly attacked.
Many fans also sent small and large gifts.
Various special effects continuously appeared on the screen.
Although Jiang Tao had only streamed a few times in total.
He was already able to ignore the noisy chatter.
Some people just want to provoke you by being obnoxious to get your attention.
The more you engage with them, the more you will be enraged by their words.
They will feel like they have achieved their goal and be secretly pleased.
Therefore, the best way to deal with such people is to ignore them.
Directly send them a plane ticket and kick them out of the live stream room.
Jiang Tao didn’t need to give any instructions; his administrator, Shan Yang, would handle these matters.
“Hello everyone, thank you for your concern.”
“I am now safely home, unharmed, and currently eating.”
“I’m very happy and a little overwhelmed that you all came to watch me.”
Seeing the number of viewers in the live stream room rise to over 3,000 in less than a minute.
Jiang Tao knew that many people would come today.
But he didn’t expect so many people to show up so quickly.
“Jiang Shen is so handsome, I want to have your babies!”
“Jiang Shen already has a wife, and she’s very beautiful. She accidentally appeared in a video once before.”
“Ahhh!!! I don’t care, I don’t care, I just want to have Jiang Shen’s babies, I don’t care about the status!”
“To be honest, he is indeed a little more handsome than me.”
“How much beauty filter is on…”
While Jiang Tao was speaking, the discussion on the public screen had smoothly shifted from his acts of bravery to his appearance.
Jiang Tao, who was already handsome, had gained a lot more Charm Value by completing special missions during this period.
With the increase in Charm Value, his appearance had also improved significantly.
In addition, his height had grown another three to four centimeters due to the increase in Physique, undergoing a second development.
At this moment, even without any beauty filters.
Jiang Tao’s natural appearance could already outshine those so-called “little fresh meat” online.
Xu Li, watching Jiang Tao’s live stream beside him, pouted as she saw the large number of comments about having babies for her husband and looked sourly at her own husband.
She also wished they could have another baby, but fate had not granted them their wish.
Gifts and comments kept appearing on the public screen, and the popularity of the live stream room grew higher and higher, quickly reaching regional and even platform-wide trending status.
The number of online viewers in Jiang Tao’s live stream room was also growing at a high speed.
From the initial 3,000, it quickly broke 10,000, then 20,000, 30,000, 40,000…
Many netizens who entered Jiang Tao’s live stream room didn’t even know what was happening or why it was so lively today.
But none of this mattered.
Many female netizens who entered the live stream room and saw Jiang Tao’s appearance and aura immediately followed him without a word.
It was like how male viewers would follow a female streamer they found attractive and with a good figure and aura.
Goddesses would do the same when they saw highly attractive men.
Just as handsome guys are never short of girls who chase them.
If there are no girls chasing him, then he’s not handsome enough.
Within an hour of Jiang Tao starting his stream.
The peak concurrent viewership in the live stream room directly exceeded 100,000+, and specific numbers were no longer displayed.
All streamers and employees of Jiang’s Entertainment Co., Ltd. entered the live stream room one after another, taking screenshots of this scene as a memento.
Gifts had not stopped appearing on the public screen since the stream began.
It was roughly estimated that the total value of gifts received tonight had already exceeded 100,000+.
Furthermore, the number of followers on Jiang Tao’s Kuaidou account was also growing explosively.
By the time he finished his stream around 10 PM and went to see Zhang Chao and Fang Qi off.
The number of followers on his account had reached an astonishing 1.46 million+!
In the span of three to four hours tonight, he had gained over a million followers!
While it couldn’t compare to celebrities with tens of millions of followers.
For an ordinary person, this one account was enough to support a family.
“Son, you are now a big internet celebrity, definitely the number one in our Ping County.”
Tian Xiaomei looked at her second son with immense relief and happiness in her eyes.
Seeing her son doing better and better, she, as his mother, was happier than anyone!
See? That’s our son!
“Haha, I really didn’t expect the netizens to be so supportive. It’s like planting a willow unintentionally, and it shades you.”
Jiang Tao laughed carelessly.
He hadn’t put much effort into his Kuaidou account, but it had inexplicably become popular.
In contrast, Shan Yang, his sister-in-law Xu Sha, and Jiao Jingtong meticulously planned what to film every day.
And they filmed to the best of their ability.
Streaming for several hours a day.
But in front of the “talent prodigy” Jiang Tao, all their efforts seemed pale and powerless!
If they relied solely on their own efforts, they might never reach Jiang Tao’s current height in their lifetime.
“Comparing people is truly maddening, brother-in-law gained more followers in one day than I have in a lifetime~”
Xu Sha, who had transformed from a rebellious sister-in-law who found Jiang Tao displeasing to him, into his devoted fan.
Nowadays, her understanding of the saying ‘prejudice in people’s hearts is like a great mountain’ was becoming increasingly profound.
When she had prejudice against Jiang Tao in the past, no matter how she looked at him, from any angle, she found him displeasing.
Seeing him inexplicably annoyed her.
Now that the prejudice in her heart had disappeared, she found her brother-in-law to be the most handsome in the universe!
She even started using her brother-in-law as a benchmark for choosing a boyfriend.
“Second Brother, Second Brother, teach me too, I want to learn martial arts from you!”
“With my beauty, I’m easily harassed when I go out. Girls, you have to learn to protect yourselves.”
Jiang Bing, with a smile, affectionately hugged Jiang Tao’s arm, wearing a proud expression.
Jiang Tao turned to look at his third sibling and playfully teased her:
“You? Do you have anything to do with beauty?”
“Bad Second Brother! I’ll give you one more chance to rephrase!”
Hearing her second brother’s words, Jiang Bing’s smile instantly vanished, and she pinched the soft flesh of his waist with two fingers.
Tian Xiaomei said from the side: “Third child, you’re old enough, stop fooling around with your second brother. It’s late at night, people will laugh.”
“Mom, you really are Second Brother’s real mother, you’ve always favored him since we were kids!”
Jiang Bing pouted. Thinking about her experiences since childhood, it was truly a tale of bitter tears!
She was clearly the youngest in the family, but every time they argued, their mother always sided with her second brother.
Now that her second brother was married and established, it was still the same.
Jiang Tao added salt to the wound from the side:
“Hehe, who told you you were picked up from the trash can.”
“You are, you are, you are~”
“Those two have been bickering since they were kids, and it’ll probably be like this for the rest of their lives, it can’t be changed.”
Jiang Dad looked at his children bickering and felt very comforted.
Compared to siblings who became like strangers after growing up, barely speaking a word to each other after meeting for a day.
He preferred his second and third children to be like this.
Laughing and arguing, this is how siblings should be.
“In-laws, it’s getting late, we won’t bother you by coming up.”
“Mom and Dad, you should also go back and rest early.”
“Safe travels, in-laws.”
“Let’s meet again another day.”
“Goodbye, Sister and Brother-in-law.”
“Goodbye, Sister-in-law.”
After chatting and laughing downstairs, they bid farewell to each other and went home.
Jiang Tao’s family returned home around 11 PM.
After taking turns to wash up, they each returned to their rooms.
Jiang Tao and Xu Li busied themselves for another hour with their second child plan before finally settling down.
Exhausted, Xu Li fell asleep with a satisfied smile.
Leaning on the headboard, Jiang Tao willed his thoughts and opened the Daily Intelligence System to check today’s intelligence.
【Congratulations on completing the system upgrade! You can now unlock 4 pieces of intelligence per day at this stage!】
The moment he opened the system panel, the first thing that caught Jiang Tao’s eye was the successful upgrade notification.
After spending 10 million to upgrade the system, he gained an extra piece of intelligence per day.
It seemed not worth it, but from a long-term perspective, it was quite a good deal.
After all, Jiang Tao would not stop at Level 3 of the system in his lifetime and be satisfied with refreshing three pieces of intelligence daily.
He would eventually upgrade the system to higher levels.
Now that he had ample funds and no significant expenses,
Upgrading the system earlier to enjoy the higher revenue brought by higher-level systems was also a good choice.
【Today’s Intelligence 01】:
You had contact with Wang Xiaobai yesterday, and obtained related intelligence—
Wang Xiaobai is meticulous and responsible in her work. With a little training, she can competently fulfill the duties of an assistant.
She and Xu Li are fated to be compatible, and she is Xu Li’s destined assistant.
……
“Wang Xiaobai?”
Seeing the content of the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao instantly thought of the fellow villager he met yesterday at Wangfu Teahouse.
However…
Xu Li hasn’t even started filming yet, and System Brother has already arranged for an assistant?
“The script side is probably almost ready too. It would be good to poach her to our company for some pre-training.”
Jiang Tao had the intention to poach Wang Xiaobai upon seeing the system’s evaluation of her.
Especially after seeing the words “fated to be compatible” with Xu Li, he was even more determined to recruit her.
Finding a diligent and reliable assistant for Xu Li would give him more peace of mind.
After reading the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao willed his thoughts and continued to the second one.
【Daily Intelligence 02】:
You were drinking tea at Wangfu Teahouse yesterday and obtained related intelligence—
At the physical lottery sales point behind Wangfu Teahouse, there is a scratch card themed “So Close, So Beautiful, Visit Hebei on the Weekend” that can win a grand prize of 1 million!
……
“A scratch card that can win a million-dollar prize!”
Seeing the second piece of intelligence for today, Jiang Tao’s eyes widened, and his heart filled with ecstasy!
“Could it be that after the system upgrade, the intelligence rewards have also been upgraded?”
On the first day of the intelligence system upgrade, he received intelligence worth a million.
Jiang Tao immediately felt how brilliant his decision to upgrade the system was!
Of course, he couldn’t be entirely sure if they were related.
But he would assume they were, as it made him happier.
“Tomorrow morning, I need to go to the shop first to get that scratch card.”
“Right, Old Jia’s house is not far from Wangfu Teahouse.”
“I can have him bring it over when he comes tomorrow morning, so I don’t have to make an extra trip.”
“A scratch card would cost at most a thousand yuan.”
“Besides, as a big boss like me, would I go to a lottery shop to buy scratch cards? Don’t I have any pride?”
Jiang Tao’s life had improved now, and he was starting to feel that going to small places like lottery shops was a bit beneath him.
With this thought, he immediately opened WeChat, found Old Jia, and sent him a message, also transferring 5,000 yuan.
Asking him to purchase all the “So Close, So Beautiful, Visit Hebei on the Weekend” lottery tickets from the shop.
If the money wasn’t enough, he would tell him.
【Okay, Boss! I’ll go there early tomorrow morning.】
Late at night, less than a minute after Jiang Tao sent the message, he received a reply from Jia Guilin.
After instructing Jia Guilin, Jiang Tao willed his thoughts and continued to refresh the intelligence.
【Today’s Intelligence 03】:
You had contact with Zhang Erlong yesterday, and obtained related intelligence—
Zhang Erlong, who injured Gu Yao, was hired by Yu Dongdong of Pang Dongdong Supermarket.
Yu Dongdong’s cousin, Huang Wei, planned this operation with the goal of replacing Supermarket Fa immediately after Pang Dongdong Supermarket opened, capturing more traffic in the business district.
……
“Pang Dongdong Supermarket, Yu Dongdong?”
Seeing the supermarket name and the person’s name mentioned in the third piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao was somewhat surprised.
He willed his thoughts and focused his attention on the words “Yu Dongdong.”
Swish!
The system interface flashed, and a young man who looked kind and chubby appeared on the screen.
“It really is him! This truly shows that you can’t judge a book by its cover…”
Jiang Tao truly didn’t expect that the seemingly amiable owner of Pang Dongdong Supermarket, Yu Dongdong, could also do such a thing.
“Business wars in reality are truly simple and unpretentious…”
