Star Tycoon

Chapter 38: Avoid Detours
In the live stream room, Tian Ersan finished a ranked match.

"Great! Now I'm in the top 100 in the Chinese server!"

Tian Ersan breathed a sigh of relief. After playing the game for more than half a month, he finally solved the ranking problem.

I used to play games to have fun, but lately I play games to win. In every game, I think about how to win instead of getting carried away and showing off my skills to the opponent.

People started sending gifts in the live stream; almost every minute since the stream started, someone has been sending gifts.

[Connecting with the female streamer! I'm sending her gifts!]

Time to relax, look at some beautiful women to recharge before the battle begins!

[Flipping the Card]

Several female livestreamers are available; they're just waiting for you.

[Hurry up, I love looking at handsome men and beautiful women, my cuckolding addiction is acting up, I'll send gifts if you connect with Jenny!]

Tian Ersan frowned. "I'm a positive role model streamer. Don't try to get me to do things with donations in the future. I won't do them. I'm making this clear in advance so you won't get angry if you spend money and can't get things done. Don't come to me with shady dealings. I have my own principles."

"We must not encourage unhealthy trends and practices." Tian Ersan glanced at the computer. "Cicada is requesting a connection."

The screen quickly shrunk, and the female anchor on the other side entered the screen. She was an elegant and intellectually dressed anchor.

Zhi Liao, 27 years old, was a radio host with a large number of drivers as her listeners. She is known for her mature and elegant voice and intellectual demeanor. She graduated from a prestigious broadcasting university and is extremely popular. She is hailed as the goddess of otaku and the number one goddess of live streaming.

After the cicada appeared on screen, the live stream chat started showering viewers with gifts.

Not only in Tian Ersan's live stream, but also in Zhiliao's live stream, the big spenders started sending gifts, and the amount was more than ten times that of Tian Ersan's live stream in an instant.

"Second Brother, shall we chat or sing and dance?"

Zhiliao looked at the gifts flooding the screen and greeted Tian Ersan with a smile.

Although Tian Ersan is young, he knows a lot, from gaming skills to computer parts repair and live streaming equipment adjustment.

Because his online name was "One Two Three," many people started calling him "Second Brother."

Tian Ersan didn't care about the number of gifts Zhiliao received. Zhiliao had a group of big spenders supporting her, and as the top female streamer on the platform, she had quite a entourage.

"Let's just chat casually. A lot of people are sending gifts so I can connect with the female streamer. I'll connect whenever I want, and I won't if I don't want to. I can't let people feel like I have to do something just because I paid money, making me seem like a paid product."

Tian Ersan would rather not have those big brothers than be led around by them.

There are many similar small circles of streamers on online platforms who rely on donations from big spenders in their live streams to do unethical things, such as live streaming themselves beating people, eating raw meat, or doing other lewd and shameless things.

When these people later want to change careers and are no longer willing to accept tips to do vulgar and disgusting things, the big shots who gave them the money will come to their door or report their past actions.

Many streamers who take money from big spenders can ruin their reputations if they later decide they don't want to continue or want to switch platforms.

Even if you don't do anything borderline and just want to find a proper job, you'll still be found by a group of fans.

It's not just female anchors, male anchors are the same.

Even worse, some people didn't make much money, but their dark history remains forever, and they will be constantly controlled by their agencies or guilds.

Some male live streamers have their home addresses and ID cards known to the fullest extent. We need to be wary of platform capital, as well as those big shots who might back down and turn around at any time.

Tian Ersan had a clear plan and didn't want to get involved in these things, so he only chatted with the female anchor about information and didn't try to build a fan group or get to know those big brothers and sisters.

That lady paid money; it won't be so easy for her to get away with it.

There are definitely more issues with the fan group than with the homeowner group. Tian Ersan knows very well what kind of group he attracts, so he would rather lose some popularity by acting badly than let the viewers in the live broadcast room do as they please.

Zhi Liao listened to Tian Er San's words and smiled, saying, "The big brother in my live stream said that if you lose, he'll make you draw a turtle on your face and wear a green hat."

Tian Ersan showed a disdainful expression, "I never do PK or reward things. If there's no PK, how can there be any punishment? You think I'll accept punishment for forcing a PK? Don't dream. In this materialistic age, there are always some people who stick to their principles."

Zhiliao clapped her hands, then smiled and spoke to the big brother in the live stream.

"Brother Lonely, Second Brother doesn't have a management company or a guild. He doesn't accept PK battles, so please don't give him any rewards. Let's just chat casually."

No sooner had Zhiliao finished speaking than the unconvinced Lonely Brother sent her another gift, while no one sent any gifts to Tian Ersan. "Thank you, Lonely Brother!" Zhiliao said gracefully, a smile appearing in her eyes.

Tian Ersan ignored all of this and took out a copy of the Records of the Grand Historian to read.

Zhiliao looked at Tian Ersan, who was reading a history book, and said, "Second Brother, why are you reading a book? Aren't you going to look at me?"

Tian Ersan casually said, "I don't understand this history lately, I'll brush up on it when I have some free time."

"I don't really know either," Zhi Liao smiled and agreed, then looked at Tian Ersan and praised, "I bought some canned goods from Second Brother's family. Is Second Brother from Zhongzhou?"

"Yeah," Tian Ersan replied in Northeastern dialect.

The shipping address was filled in as the manufacturer's address, and the shipper was also the manufacturer. Tian Ersan did not directly reveal his location.

Zhi Liao laughed and said, "The Central Plains region is known for producing handsome men and beautiful women. I feel that Second Brother is the most handsome male streamer in the gaming world. Second Brother, you look like a big star. It's a real pity that you don't go into acting."

Tian Ersan continued reading his book. "Keep praising me, I love hearing it."

The cicadas seemed interesting, the show was quite entertaining, and the host just needed to keep the conversation flowing smoothly.

"I think you look really good when you smile, your teeth are so white. You would definitely make money selling toothpaste! There are so many streamers on our platform, your face is probably not the whitest, but your teeth are definitely the whitest."

Tian Ersan raised his head, revealing a funny expression and a set of white teeth.

“Yes! You see! I wasn’t lying!” the cicada quickly praised.

Many viewers in the live stream also admitted that the guy was handsome and had very white teeth.

That's why many people enjoy watching Tian Ersan interact with the female anchors.

It's not that I don't like watching Japanese adult films with handsome male leads, it's just that good-looking actors basically don't do that kind of thing.

Zhi continued, "If it's a drill, Second Brother, you'd be perfect for a handsome guy from the countryside. I'm not saying people from the countryside are bad, but I feel like you'd be perfect for playing positive roles, the kind of simple and positive male lead, like a college student or a young leader. That's exactly how it should be!"

Tian Ersan continued reading with one hand, resting his cheek on the armrest with the other, his gaze focused, but he showed no interest in looking at the beautiful anchorwoman.

"Go on, I'm listening."

Zhiliao looked helpless, unsure how to continue praising him, and finally managed to say, "You're good at games, and you're especially fond of studying."

These are clearly two contradictory statements, yet they fit perfectly into the current situation of Tian Ersan.

Seeing that Tian Ersan remained silent, Zhiliao asked, "Second Brother, is the book good?"

Tian Ersan replied, "Profound and extensive."

The fans in the live stream sent several "Brother Big Things" messages.

These people enjoy looking at handsome men and beautiful women, and then do shameful things to them.

The big spenders in the live stream just want to see the expressions on beautiful women's faces when they see handsome men, as if they are watching themselves.

The two quickly ended their live stream and said goodbye.

Tian Ersan didn't contact the female streamer again and quickly put down his book to play games.

"Today, let's try our luck in the Bronze rank, see the various aspects of this 'fish pond' rank, and see if a King can defeat nine Bronze players."

After gaining fame, it's easy to encounter teammates who intentionally sabotage you in high-level matches. Tian Ersan knew he would encounter such people, so he avoided them in advance and chose to create some antics in low-level matches.

He's a streamer, but not just a gamer. Tian Ersan has a clear plan for himself, so he avoids a lot of trouble in advance.

This is something that parents should teach through words and deeds, with painstaking guidance.

High-level, competent parents not only know how to teach, but also use their connections to pave the way for their children. As long as their children can steadily progress without causing trouble, their social class will not decline, and they may even see a slight improvement.

It's rare for ordinary people to have this kind of insight. Even in top families, many people wouldn't follow it when they were young, even if they knew it.

Compared to systems that are still unusable, Tian Er San's biggest advantage is its clear plan for the future, which helps it avoid detours.
