Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 55 Live Streaming Sales

The moon hangs high in the sky, its silvery light like gauze, turning the entire Jingyuan West Lake into a blurry ink painting.

After glancing at the night view, Chen Beiwu lowered his head and began checking the live streaming equipment.

Once he was sure everything was ready, he opened the Wanling app and started his live stream.

Have the missing persons returned?

[Finally, the streamer is going live!]

[An 18-year-old sexy female cockroach gifted the streamer a sports car*1 - Cultivation is important, but don't stop streaming.]

"Thank you to the 18-year-old sexy female cockroach for the sports car," Chen Beiwu said sincerely.

Although the name of this benefactor is somewhat abstract, his generosity is undeniable; he would gift a sports car to the benefactor every month.

On the Wanling app, a sports car is worth ten spirit coins. After the platform takes a cut, he can get five spirit coins, which is one of Chen Beiwu's main sources of income from part-time live streaming.

"Good evening, fellow Daoists. This is Tianyuan Diaolu." After saying his opening remarks, Chen Beiwu pointed the camera at Jingyuan West Lake and got straight to the point.

"The streamer suspects that the reason he hasn't been able to catch fish before is because there are no fish in the Pearl River, so the streamer came to Jingyuan West Lake in Yunlong Mansion to fish tonight."

"Everyone, guess how many fish the streamer will catch today?" Chen Beiwu started the interaction.

【? ? ? 】

[This is a classic case of blaming the road for someone who is incompetent.]

[Hilarious! Fish Run will prove it later: there are no fish in the Pearl River, and there aren't any in Jingyuan West Lake either.]

Seeing the numerous comments scrolling across the live stream screen, Chen Beiwu smiled.

Streamers don't need to be too concerned about logic when they speak. Sometimes, deliberately saying silly things can actually pique the audience's interest and increase the number of comments in the live stream.

"Tonight, the host will teach you how to catch fish at night." After saying that, Chen Beiwu prepared the bait and cast the hook.

[Rebellion against the Heavenly Generals!]

[Come on, let's open the betting! I'm betting on Fish Run to be the corpse catcher tonight!]

[Don't joke around upstairs. There are Immortal Alliance staff managing and patrolling Jingyuan West Lake; there's absolutely no way a dead body could appear there.]

Hehe, but dead fish will appear.

Half an hour later, looking at the withered tree branches, clams, aquatic plants, discarded fishing nets, and water snakes in front of him, Chen Beiwu fell into deep thought.

He's a real talent!

His inability to catch fish is definitely not a matter of skill, but rather a matter of luck.

The gray mold that appeared in the chaotic world must be the culprit.

Thinking of this, Chen Beiwu slightly turned his phone screen and started typing "GG": "If you also want to have such amazing fishing skills as the streamer, you absolutely need good food."

[Someone's been assaulted!]

[How dare the streamer type "GG" now! He might just hit his fans next!]

[Stop messing around, streamer. Who wants your corpse-fishing skills? I certainly don't!]

Ignoring the barrage of memes and jokes, Chen Beiwu took out a box, opened it, and revealed a mixture of Dendrobium nobile and Dendrobium chrysanthum.

"Everyone knows about Dendrobium nobile. On the official website of the Immortal Alliance, the price of average quality Dendrobium nobile is 10 spirit coins per catty, while the high-quality Dendrobium nobile is 30 spirit coins per catty."

"But tonight, the host successfully helped everyone drive down the price of Dendrobium nobile."

[Stop selling stuff, streamer! Check out the fishing rod, there's a fish!]

Judging from the bite force, it seems to be a large-volume product.

[Holy crap, it looks like a Jadescaled Orochi!]

Upon seeing the jade swordfish leaping out of the river, the live stream not only saw a surge in comments, but also a rapid increase in popularity, quickly reaching 100,000 viewers.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Chen Beiwu immediately stopped selling his goods, rushed to the riverbank, and tightly gripped the bent fishing rod.

"This fish must weigh at least ten pounds," he explained as he pulled on it.

After five or six minutes of observation, once the live stream's popularity had reached its peak, Chen Beiwu pulled hard, and a jade-scaled fish about two feet long immediately came into view for all the viewers in the live stream.

[Wow, there really are jade-scaled fish in Jingyuan West Lake!]

[Holy crap, the streamer's made a killing! This jade-scaled fish is worth at least 1,500 spirit coins!]

[Damn it, seeing the streamer catch a big fish is more painful than seeing me go broke!]

At this moment, a dense array of question marks completely covered the screen.

Chen Beiwu demonstrated the intricate details of the jade-scaled fish to the entire audience, exclaiming with delight, "See that? This is the streamer's true skill! Haters, shut up!"

【It's done, let the fish run away and pack it up.】

[Impossible, absolutely impossible, there's definitely something wrong with this jade-scaled fish.]

[Host, host, can you sell me this fish for 500 spirit coins? I'm a student.]

[Host, I'll offer 1000 spirit coins. I'm an innocent 18-year-old high school girl.]

Carefully storing the jade scale fish, Chen Beiwu coughed twice, ignoring the comments, and continued selling according to plan.

"The host said that this batch of Dendrobium nobile is of excellent quality and can be sold for 30 yuan per catty on the official website."

"But tonight, to thank our fans, the host will personally pay for it. For just 9.9 yuan, you can buy a pound of Dendrobium nobile and take it home, not for 30 yuan or 20 yuan."

"Because the streamer paid for it himself and sold it at a loss, only 500 catties of Dendrobium nobile were sold in the live stream. Once they were sold out, they were taken off the shelves."

"Those who like it should hurry up and place their orders."

After saying this, Chen Beiwu glanced at his phone screen and found that the 500 orders of yellow-tailed dendrobium he had listed had sold out in three minutes.

"The yellow-tailed dendrobium is sold out, and we can't add any more. If we keep selling, the streamer will go bankrupt, so tonight's live stream ends here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu clicked to end the live stream, leaving a bunch of question mark comments in the chat.

"Gurgle."

Just then, the golden egg leaped out of the lake.

Chen Beiwu stepped forward and touched the golden egg fish's fin, thinking, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a treat later."

"Gurgle."

Chen Beiwu looked at the golden egg, but in his heart he was calculating what he would gain that night.

After deducting the 10% transaction tax from the Immortal Alliance, the 10% commission from the Wanling app platform, and further deducting costs, postage, and potential returns, the final amount is calculated.

His net profit from selling goods tonight is about 3,100 spirit yuan, which is equivalent to the salary of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator for 30 to 40 years. It is more than enough to buy cultivation techniques.

"These profits are truly astonishing!" Chen Beiwu couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

Live-streaming e-commerce is so profitable, it's no wonder that cultivators like those in the Immortal Alliance who have reached the Foundation Establishment stage or the Golden Core stage would share their cultivation experience on the Wanling app for free, creating accounts and building up traffic. Once the traffic increased, they all jumped on the bandwagon to sell goods.

The reason Chen Beiwu hadn't tried selling goods before was simply because he lacked quality supply channels and his family had very low risk tolerance, so he couldn't afford to take any risks.

After all, only a minority of livestreamers can successfully sell products.

Chen Beiwu's success in selling goods tonight can be attributed to two main factors.

One reason is that he caught a jade scale fish, and successfully attracted a lot of attention by using the gimmick of getting rich overnight.

Another point is that the yellow-tailed Dendrobium hanging in the shopping cart is mixed with dragon head Dendrobium, and the quality is very good.

It just takes time for Wanling app to settle payments, but Chen Beiwu is getting impatient.

He glanced at his phone and took out Guan Ange's business card.

Jade-scaled fish is a delicacy that ordinary cultivators cannot afford, so a suitable buyer must be found.

Guan Ange comes from the Guan family of Yunlong, who have raised fish for generations, so he must know his stuff.
