The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 135 [Legend] (4k)

"Chairman Gu, we sisters would like to toast you."

While Gu Heng and Yangyang were talking, the older sister, Shuyue, and her younger sister, Shuyu, raised their glasses and toasted Gu Heng.

"it is good."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, not refusing the two sisters' toast.

The two clinked their glasses lightly, and Gu Heng raised his glass to take a sip.

"Mr. Gu, how about we sisters perform a couple of dances to liven things up for everyone?"

After putting down her wine glass, Shuyue took the opportunity to express her thoughts.

"Oh?"

"That's a good idea."

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"okay!"

With Gu Heng's permission, Shu Yue readily agreed, then got up with her younger sister Shu Yu and walked towards the professional DJ booth in front, where she spoke with Bai Bai and Yue Yue, who were in charge of spinning the record.

Where did they go?

Wang Yan was sitting to Gu Heng's right. After noticing the twin sisters' movements, he asked Gu Heng about it.

"They plan to perform two dances to entertain everyone."

Gu Heng raised his glass and clinked it against Wang Yan's, responding with a smile.

"Ouch?"

"You're so sensible!"

"Not bad!"

Wang Yan's eyes lit up, and then he moved closer to Gu Heng.

"Brother Yan, where did you find all these girls?"

When Gu Heng saw Wang Yan approaching, he casually asked him a question.

"Brother, you should know there's a profession called agent."

"Everything in this world has a price."

"Don't even mention these female internet celebrities, even female stars, as long as the benefits you offer are huge enough, they can still get on your boat and drink with you."

At this point, Wang Yan winked at Gu Heng: "Brother, do you have a favorite female celebrity? Tell me her name, and I'll have my second aunt help you find out."

"We'll talk about the female celebrities later; let's have fun tonight first."

Gu Heng smiled, then asked, "So, Brother Yan, what was the price you charged each of them tonight?"

"Because their fan base and popularity differ, they each have a different price."

"The minimum is 10, and the maximum is 20."

Wang Yan tore apart the freshly grilled beef jerky, eating as he answered.

"so cheap?"

Gu Heng was stunned for a moment; this price was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

"Brother, it seems you really don't understand their online celebrity circle."

"Don't be fooled by the fact that they are all big internet celebrities with two or three million or even four million followers. In reality, their income is far less than what ordinary people imagine."

Wang Yan shook his head: "As far as I know, the accounts of the women you see are all controlled by the MCN agencies behind them, and they have all signed long-term contracts with the MCN agencies."

"There are generally two sources of income for online celebrities."

"One is advertising, and the other is live streaming."

"If it's advertising revenue, you first have to pay taxes, then you have to deduct team costs, such as lighting, photography, operations, editing and other labor costs. Then, the company behind them takes half of the remaining money."

Wang Yan counted on his fingers, showing he knew everything about the inside story of the internet celebrity industry.

“If it’s live streaming revenue, the platform will cut it in half right away, and then the company behind them will cut it in half again. They might earn 10,000 yuan in gifts during a live stream, but in the end they might only get 3,000 or 4,000 yuan.”

"The girls here tonight are all live streamers in the beauty category, and the majority of their fans are male."

What is the current consumption situation?

"Women come first, children second, the elderly third, and even dogs are ranked ahead of men. With this kind of fan base of beauty-focused livestreamers, how could they possibly attract advertisers?"

"The competition is fiercest in the beauty category. Every year after the college entrance examination, a large number of young and beautiful girls emerge. Big influencers like them only get some beauty ads during the 618 or Double 11 shopping festivals, and the prices are often very low."

When Wang Yan talked about this topic, he didn't hide it from the girls around him.

"Brother, stop talking."

"If you say any more, I'm going to cry."

Yuanyuan, a popular online celebrity with five million followers, nestled next to Wang Yan and pretended to look pitiful as she stuffed a strawberry into Wang Yan's mouth.

"What are you crying for?"

"Tell me, in the beauty industry, how many people can get more advertising deals than you?"

Wang Yan said somewhat irritably, "If even you cry, what are the others supposed to do? Jump into the river?"

"hey-hey……"

I'm just trying to create a lively atmosphere.

Yuanyuan smiled again and kissed Wang Yan on the cheek: "Brother Yan, you're the best~"

Gu Heng looked at the scene before him and found it inexplicably amusing.

The woman in front of him, who usually presents herself as a strong, independent woman to her fans, exuding charm and allure, is now acting like a little bird in front of Wang Yan, constantly being coquettish and affectionate.

"How about it?"

"Isn't this flower I'm watering blooming beautifully?"

"When I first met her, she had only tens of thousands of followers. Now she has more than five million followers."

Wang Yan said with a smile, but his expression showed no smugness or pride.

If one had to describe it in words, the way Wang Yan said those words gave Gu Heng the feeling that it was like a kitten that Wang Yan had casually adopted, which had grown up very well and was behaving very obediently.

"very nice."

Gu Heng nodded slightly.

"They can't get any advertising deals, so they can only make money through live streaming."

“Every month, my income is definitely much higher than that of the average person, several hundred thousand yuan is certainly possible, but if I want to exceed the million-yuan threshold, that depends on luck.”

"In this situation, they just work as business associates, drinking and chatting, and they can earn more than 100,000 yuan a night. And it's all pure income, without having to share with anyone. Do you think that's cheap?"

At this point, Wang Yan leaned closer to Gu Heng and whispered, "Brother, I've already settled the payment for the drinks with the agent, but if you want to take things further, you'll have to negotiate it yourself."

"clear."

"I understand the rules."

Gu Heng smiled at Wang Yan. They'd already indulged in a life of debauchery last night, so he naturally wouldn't pretend to be an innocent boy in front of Wang Yan. Just as the two were talking, the twin sisters ahead had finished preparing.

Today, the twin sisters wore black off-shoulder mini dresses. Standing side by side, facing the attention of the crowd, they appeared exceptionally poised and confident.

As the music began, the stirring beats of the Vietnamese drums seemed to resonate in everyone's hearts, and the twin sisters immediately started swaying rhythmically to the music.

As beauty-focused livestreamers, the twin sisters are naturally skilled dancers.

Her slender waist was like a willow swaying in the wind; every movement was full of power and contained endless allure.

At the same time, their expressions were also very convincing.

Her eyes were alluring yet passionate, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth revealed a captivating curve.

As the music's rhythm gradually quickened, their dance steps became increasingly rapid, each step precisely hitting the drumbeats, as if they were one with the music.

Seeing the buzz surrounding the twin sisters, Gu Heng slowly raised his glass and took a sip. The cool liquor flowed down his throat, but it couldn't extinguish the growing restlessness in his heart.

In the distance, two sightseeing boats sailed alongside their yacht.

Perhaps it was the luxury of the yacht, or perhaps the music was a bit too loud, that caused the tourists on the sightseeing boat to look in Gu Heng's direction, and many people took out their phones and started recording.

Gu Heng noticed this and turned his head slightly to take a look.

"don’t worry."

"It's fine."

Seeing this, Wang Yan offered a word of comfort to Gu Heng.

He then raised his hand and gestured behind him without turning his head.

The first mate, who had been waiting behind him, immediately understood and picked up the walkie-talkie to give the order.

The next second, dazzling lights suddenly burst forth around the yacht, and then the yacht began to slowly accelerate.

At the same time, the service staff waiting at the edge of the flying bridge produced large black umbrellas from somewhere.

"Bang bang bang..."

As numerous black umbrellas opened, they resembled two black walls, concealing all the scenery above the flying bridge and keeping out any daring gazes.

The tourists on the sightseeing boat in the distance were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

"That's really something, they won't even let you look!"

"How dare we mortals pry into the secrets of the Heavenly Palace!"

"With fine wine in hand, a beautiful woman in my arms, dancers in front of me, and servants behind me, I could never even dream of such a life!"

"Wait, where did I get here? Is this still in China?"

"Now I know why I'm always carrying a heavy burden. It turns out someone is making my life peaceful for me every day. I'm so damn stupid!"

"Stop the boat, I need to go to Jiangcheng!"

"Those two girls dancing in front of us, and those two girls DJing, they all look so familiar. Aren't they all internet celebrities?"

Wow, what kind of phone do you have? The video recording is so high definition!

"This is the latest Huawei Mate X30. I bought it on Zhuanzhuan, it was a super deal!"

……

As the yacht sped away into the distance, many tourists had a lot to say, but under the powerful seal of the "River Crash God," they couldn't open their mouths at all.

All I can do is sigh and say some lamenting things to comfort myself.

On the yacht, Gu Heng looked at the scene before him and felt inexplicably shocked.

The twin sisters' hot dance continued, and Bai Bai and Yue Yue, who were originally standing on the professional DJ stage, also started dancing to the music.

Four internet celebrities with millions of followers were now acting like ordinary dancers, just trying to win Gu Heng's favor.

Their eyes were captivating, and their movements were alluring and seductive.

They slowly moved towards Gu Heng from the front, and finally arrived in front of Gu Heng, standing on his left and right sides to continue their hot dance.

Gu Heng leaned back on the sofa, holding a Cohiba GR cigarette worth several thousand yuan in his right hand.

As he exhaled the smoke, the hazy, beautiful scenery captivated Gu Heng.

Suddenly, a crisp sound flashed through Gu Heng's mind.

[Challenge Mission: Legend]

[Task Description: Like geese leaving their calls in flight, people leave their names behind. The world may not have your physical presence, but it cannot be without your legend. Enjoy tonight and leave your eternal mark on the online world.]

[Legendary Status: 1.69%]

[Task Rewards: 8-hour cashback card, buff upgrade card]

[8-Hour Cashback Card: Within the next eight hours, all your online purchases will be returned to you at a random rate, ranging from 0.5x to 1.5x.]

[Buff Upgrade Card: You can choose one of your existing buffs to upgrade]

……

The system light screen slowly unfolded in front of Gu Heng, and the newly refreshed challenge mission was presented to him.

Ok?
Another new task has appeared?
Just as Gu Heng was somewhat absorbed in what he was seeing, a challenge suddenly appeared before him, instantly bringing him back to his senses.

After carefully reading the details of the challenge, Gu Heng roughly understood what it meant.

'Is Dad worried I won't have enough fun tonight?'

Gu Heng looked at the 8-hour cashback card displayed in the mission rewards, and seemed to hear his father's booming voice saying: "Good son, go play wildly, all expenses tonight will be paid by your father!"

Even though the cashback rate is random, if you are unlucky enough to get a 0.5x cashback rate, it means that you will have to bear half of the cost, but so what?
Even if the system didn't give him the 8-hour cashback card, Gu Heng would still buy that buff upgrade card no matter how much money he had to spend out of his own pocket.

Gu Heng's ability to successfully complete the challenges of the first and second floors of the [Golden Tower of Wealth] is largely due to the [Eternal Day Engine] buff he currently possesses.

The buff [Eternal Day Engine] grants Gu Heng a more efficient body recovery mechanism, stronger stress resistance, and better metabolic ability.

No matter how exhausted Gu Heng was the day before, he only needed a good night's sleep to be fully recharged and regain his vigorous spirit and energy.

If even the basic [Eternal Day Engine] has this effect, Gu Heng can't imagine how powerful the upgraded [Eternal Day Engine] will be.

Must win!

We must take it!

Gu Heng, who was already restless, felt as if a fire had suddenly risen in his heart.

There are many ways to become a legend in the online world.

For example, becoming a god in a global mega-game, possessing unparalleled hacking skills to do something astonishing, or becoming an enlightening saint like Ms. Cang, who educates all beings.

However, these methods are clearly beyond Gu Heng's capabilities, and judging from the content and rewards of the challenge mission, it's likely that his father, the "Child's Father," didn't intend for it to be this way.

and so……

The easiest way to become a legend the fastest is to spend money.

It slammed into everyone, leaving them speechless and in awe.

Gu Heng's mind raced, and based on the information and conditions he had, he gradually began to form some ideas...
