Investment Cashback, Billionaire God [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 2 Achievement Unlocked

Chapter 2 Achievement Unlocked

Although the Giant Series Company had always been in poor operating condition, it had genuinely accumulated five years of transaction records. Fang Zhuo smoothly secured a loan of 6.2 million from the Interstellar Bank.

Instead of returning to the old residential area of the previous host, he operated on his terminal and rented a three-story villa in the suburbs, complete with a butler.

A little bit couldn’t help but remind him: [Host, bank loans come with interest too, and this villa costs three thousand per night. Shouldn’t we be more frugal?]

Fang Zhuo smiled with concealed sharpness: [I think you should reflect on yourself first. Other Money-spreading Systems provide cars, houses, and employees. Only you gave me a loan shark debt of one billion. Don’t look down on bank loans their interest rates are much lower than yours, and the repayment period is very flexible.]

As a simple system, a little bit was instantly manipulated by these words and guiltily shut up.

Lying in a walk-in bathtub spanning over ten square meters, Fang Zhuo shook the water droplets from his hair and finally had time to carefully review the system interface again.

The first-level icons included five main sections: Personal Panel, Investment Status, Stage Rewards, Social, and Backpack. Each section had many sub-functions, and there were also several external plugins similar to small loans.

A faint but persistent burning pain came from his stomach. He opened the Survival Time under the Personal Panel and tried exchanging cash for two days of lifespan.

The first day of exchange only cost one million, but the next time it increased to three million. The cost of exchanging cash for lifespan would rise successively. Unable to determine the upper limit of the exchange rate, he temporarily avoided wasting his cash on more survival days.

His remaining lifespan was fifteen days. If Qiao Ankuang’s new song was released smoothly, the copyright fees should be enough to keep him alive a while longer.

As long as his remaining survival days stayed stable within the range where the system wouldn’t apply double severe illness buffs, the current mild stomach pain was still tolerable.

Switching to the second-level page, he noticed a Perspective Mode icon nearby. A little bit timely reminded him: [Host, activating this mode allows you to view others’ Attribute Panels. Currently, the company’s operation level is insufficient, so only basic attributes can be viewed for now.]

Even seeing just basic attributes was enough. With some time still left before Qiao Ankuang finished writing the new song, this would be a good way to pass the next three days.

Fang Zhuo lay on the two-meter-wide bed in his bathrobe, using his terminal to project a StarNet live stream onto the glass wall opposite him.

In the worldview of “Brilliance,” the live streaming industry was highly developed, with Holographic Technology even creating the illusion that viewers were sitting right beside the streamer.

Each streaming category was finely detailed. Large donations could not only pin messages across all streams in the same category but also grant the corresponding stream generous promotion.

As soon as he entered the first stream, the streamer’s various attributes immediately popped up intelligence, emotional intelligence, physical strength, and other values were clearly displayed.

He browsed the appearance category for a while, studied the platform’s promotion rules, and roughly formed a new streaming concept in his mind. Then, he quickly skimmed through various niche vertical categories.

From ancient text interpretation to retro calligraphy, from hardcore fitness to puzzle games he could roughly assess whether a streamer’s panel had investment potential with just a quick glance

[Nickname: Yllfs][Intelligence: 5][Stamina: 3][Appearance: 7][EQ: 2]

With EQ this low, you might as well not become a streamer. Skipping.

[Nickname: Smartest Brain][Intelligence: 1][Stamina: 7][Appearance: 5][EQ: 2]

They say you are what you eat, but this nickname doesn’t seem to have helped much with intelligence either. Skipping.

After roughly browsing for over two hours, he sent contract invitations to about sixty or seventy streamers, out of which only around a dozen replied.

The system provided a limited number of investment slots. Initially, he could only bind three targets and couldn’t unbind them until the profit exceeded ten times the investment. Only when the return rate reached a hundredfold would the next investment slot unlock. This harsh restriction was likely one of the key reasons why previous hosts had failed one after another.

Fang Zhuo didn’t plan to invest in too many people in the live streaming field anyway. From these dozen or so niche streamers, he picked the one with the best overall stats and the most proactive attitude, sending them the guild contract terms.

“I’ve ordered a live streaming fill light set for you on StarNet. It comes with an installation manual. Set it up and start streaming within an hour.”

The tone carried the usual condescension of someone in a higher position, but Jian Yujing, looking at the pile of fill light stands he had just unpacked, didn’t feel particularly offended.

After all, his relationship with the guild owner was inherently hierarchical. Compared to a workplace tyrant, he was more afraid of dealing with someone who couldn’t clearly articulate their demands and just nagged endlessly.

He had been streaming in the ancient painting section for three years, and from the start, his growth had been lukewarm.

Later, to gain traffic, he began using Ancient Blue Star painting tools to draw various abstract cat memes, barely managing to scrape together some meager exposure.

During this time, he had considered showing his face on camera, but the appearance-focused category was just too competitive. During his first attempt, he happened to connect with a big streamer in the Male-Mom Track, and the streamer’s fans tore him apart, instantly killing his motivation and sending him back to drawing.

“Just frame the camera on your abs. Don’t show your face at first. Only move the camera when I tell you to. Don’t speak at all from start to finish. Go straight into PK Battles as soon as you start.”

What kind of strange request was this? How was he supposed to interact with the audience without speaking? Going into PK Battles like this was a guaranteed loss he’d just be humiliated in every possible way by the opponent.

Jian Yujing suspected this guild owner might be a newbie, but the other’s profile prominently displayed the Diamond Icon, which required a one-time recharge of 500,000. So, half-convinced and half-doubting, he decided to follow the instructions and give it a try.

As soon as he clicked the PK icon, the first person he connected with was the big streamer known as [Construction Site Brother Niu].

Damn, Jian Yujing’s heart sank. This was really bad.

“Brother Niu” was a notorious Review Streamer, specializing in PK Battles with new male streamers in the appearance category who had few followers, often verbally humiliating them.

Sure enough, the moment they connected, Brother Niu’s horde of fans flooded his stream, spouting offensive comments. The chat was instantly filled with vulgar language.

Thankfully, the guild owner had instructed him not to show his face or speak, otherwise Jian Yujing would have been tempted to fire back.

Brother Niu placed his slipper, which was filming his big toe, on the table, picked his teeth, and squeezed some nutrient solution onto his foot. “What, cat got your tongue, Abs Streamer? Pfft, dare to lick my foot?”

“With those six-pack abs of yours, you think I couldn’t achieve that in half a month? They’re all steroid-enhanced, everyone knows that!”

“Family, send me some Hot Air Balloons! I want to see this kid do his punishment!”

The PK Progress Bar above both streamers instantly surged to 1527:0. Jian Yujing’s face turned pale then red as he stared at the foul language on the screen, seriously considering ending the stream right then.

His mental fortitude had never been particularly strong, and now he deeply regretted signing with this inexperienced new guild.

He switched to his chat with the boss, fingers hovering over the words “Sorry, I can’t continue streaming” when suddenly, luxurious gift effects flooded his live stream.

The boss had actually sent ten helicopter gifts in a row – each worth five thousand yuan.

Not only was Jian Yujing stunned, but even Brother Niu was momentarily speechless. To ensure his followers had an easy win, Brother Niu always picked streamers with less than a thousand followers. How could such a wealthy top donor appear in his opponent’s stream?

Though Brother Niu’s fans were verbally aggressive, they lacked spending power. This round of PK ended in undeniable defeat.

This marked Brother Niu’s first PK loss in two years of streaming. News spread quickly, attracting hordes of curious onlookers.

Wiping the nutritional cream off his feet, Brother Niu suddenly realized what was happening. While doing frog jumps as punishment, he pointed at the screen and shouted: “Don’t you dare leave, motherfucker! You sent those gifts yourself, didn’t you? Let’s go another round!”

As Brother Niu performed his punishment, both streams’ viewer counts skyrocketed.

The combined effect of sudden gift surges and the buzz around Brother Niu’s first defeat quickly pushed their PK stream to the trending section.

Jian Yujing watched the 30,000+ viewer count in the upper corner, nervous sweat dampening his back.

In just five minutes, he’d gained over three thousand followers – matching his total from three years of streaming about ancient calligraphy and paintings. Even being insulted felt worth it.

The PK started again, but this time, instigating spectators joined in, some even helping him mock Brother Niu’s content.

Brother Niu’s gift value still overwhelmingly dominated, with the PK Progress Bar showing 6142:437.

With less than a minute remaining, Jian Yujing prepared to do sit-ups as punishment.

Then his backend notification popped up with the boss’s message: “Show your face.”

His heart pounding nervously, Jian Yujing adjusted his camera to full view.

Though caught unprepared – his hair unkempt, skin untreated, beauty filters unadjusted – the raw visual impact stunned viewers into spamming comments wildly. Even Brother Niu cursed in surprise.

When the boss led with a 100,000-yuan Big Rocket, other viewers followed suit in a gift-sending frenzy.

Within seconds, his stream’s gift total surpassed 300,000 yuan, rivaling top streamers who’d built their followings for years.

Jian Yujing couldn’t describe his feelings – his heart hammered so violently it felt ready to burst from his chest.

How could there be a guild owner who understands audience psychology and live streaming formats so clearly? This was no novice clearly, a god of wealth had descended from the heavens.

When he streamed alone, he never achieved such explosive results. The contrast made him feel nothing but boundless admiration for his boss’s skills.

His stream had been featured in the platform’s most prominent recommendation slot for five hours straight tonight. Just from casual viewers’ gifts, he earned over 600,000, and his personal account gained more than 90,000 followers. He had unmistakably become a rising dark horse.

After ending the stream, Jian Yujing still couldn’t calm his breathing. After thinking for a long time, he sincerely sent his boss a lengthy voice message expressing his gratitude.

The boss’s reply remained as concise and powerful as ever: “No need to thank me. Xiao Jian, your stress tolerance is a little bit lacking, and your emotional intelligence needs improvement too. I hope you can seize this opportunity to push yourself and grow quickly. Spend this period reflecting and consolidating your experiences. If you can’t win against opponents in PK battles, you can always call me to come online.”

The boss had even subtly noticed his personality flaws. Jian Yujing was even more astonished, and his admiration for the boss instantly reached new heights.

He sent several voice messages in a row to express his gratitude to the boss, followed by a few kneeling emoji stickers.

[Mystery Box Description: When the number of mystery boxes reaches nine, a Ten-Draw will automatically unlock. The host can freely choose the Targeted Blind Box Series. Based on the current plane’s difficulty, a Ten-Draw guarantees at least one SR-Ranked Item.]

The initial battle was a success. Tonight’s live stream had rebated him over five million. Although the profit speed was still a little bit slow earning only enough in one night to exchange for one day of lifespan at least he had income on his very first day after transmigrating.

The pain that had plagued him all day also lessened. The burning sensation spreading from his stomach to his chest was no longer so sharp and impossible to ignore.

A little bit read the message he had sent to Jian Yujing and said sheepishly, [Director Fang, did you learn this kind of rhetoric from a course? To be honest, this system would like to master it a little bit too.]

Fang Zhuo: [No need for courses. If I send you to work for a month, you’ll naturally learn. You’ll get to hear such empty promises for at least thirteen hours a day. Once we reach the Blue Star plane, I’ll send you off. No need to thank me too much.]

A little bit: [QAQ Host, you’re so cruel.]

At around eight o’clock the next morning, Fang Zhuo opened his eyes on time. He first went out for a walk, returned to take a shower, changed into the suit that had been dry-cleaned and ironed by the butler, and sent a message to the factory office assistant shortly before ten o’clock:

[Have all the workers prepare. Everyone should wait for me in the factory building at 10:30]
