My game can make money starting from the Three Kingdoms period.

With the addition of video revenue, Lu Xiao's previously depleted account balance increased to around 50,000.

Turning to Guo Lin, he said, "002, I'm giving you a tough task: find a well-lit and well-ventilated office, preferably with a private room to set up a live-streaming studio, preferably with desks and chairs left by the previous tenant, preferably with exercise equipment, and preferably..."

"Brother, you're not looking for a house, you're making a wish."

Big Green Pepper pointed out Lu Xiao's unrealistic expectations.

But employee number 2 nodded confidently, "Leave it to me. What's the budget?"

"Of course, the lower the better."

"Understood, I'll complete the mission!"

One person dared to make the request, and another dared to accept it, leaving Big Green Pepper speechless.

"Big Green Pepper, go and configure two more good computers and buy some live streaming equipment. The money is in your hands."

"Brother, with this little bit of money, it's hard to say whether we can even make any money from live streaming. Is that all you've got?"

Big Green Pepper glanced at Lu Xiao's balance; after all that spending, he only had a thousand or eight hundred left.

Lu Xiao was full of confidence; he could make money from the settlements with the aristocratic families, so he certainly wouldn't starve.

"How can you get anything done if you're so hesitant and timid? Don't worry about the money, I'll take care of that. After we move the company, I'll have you sign the shareholding agreement, and Xiao Li will have a share too."

It's unrealistic for Lu Xiao to build a business on his own.

Although he can make money through family settlements, what if he messes things up like others and loses his source of income?

The safest approach is to do what we're doing now: while enjoying the game every calendar year, we also build up our live-streaming business.

This was not a sudden whim of Lu Xiao's.

Rather, it was the inevitable choice that Lu Xiao made after years of accumulating experience and expertise in managing his account.

It's also the only game that Lu Xiao has been playing for many years that he's been interested in streaming.

Although Lu Xiao can make easy money by streaming those trashy games, he can't help but complain and swear while playing them.

Naturally, the manufacturer stopped granting Lu Xiao live streaming privileges.

This also goes against Lu Xiao's original intention.

"You're the boss, so I'll listen to you."

The green bell pepper compromised.

However, Lu Xiao's next sentence completely unsettled Da Qingjiao.

"Xiao Li, I'd like to trouble you to negotiate with the operator so that I won't include their download links after the live stream starts."

Generally speaking, when a streamer downloads a content from a vendor's link, the streamer earns a fee after the user downloads and makes a purchase.

Big Green Pepper couldn't understand why Lu Xiao would cut off his own source of income.

The reason Lu Xiao's account was able to gain popularity is that he dared to speak the truth and refused to accept easy money.

He wouldn't do something like exploiting users or squeezing the value of accounts. If Lu Xiao wanted to make money against his conscience, he would have done it already.

If Lu Xiao's goal was to eventually monetize his wealth, he wouldn't have so many loyal fans.

"Bro, isn't the point of creating accounts to monetize them?" Big Green Pepper couldn't understand Lu Xiao's actions.

Da Qingjiao believes in the same monetization model as most people.

First, create a persona, tell a story, and start an account. Once you have traffic, start selling products and linking them to your account.

Once an account loses its monetization potential, it is abandoned, and a new account is created. This cycle repeats.

This is a mature strategy that has been proven effective in the market.

For ordinary people, just being able to get a phone number can save them 30 to 50 years of hard work in their lifetime.

Therefore, too many people are crowding into various tracks, dreaming of becoming famous overnight.

Platforms are happy to promote ordinary people, which gives others the illusion that the next internet celebrity to get rich overnight will be him.

Lu Xiao looked at Da Qingjiao, "My original intention in becoming a blogger was to improve the current gaming environment. I wanted to see more good games like 'Clan' emerge on the market, instead of all those cookie-cutter pay-to-win, reskinned, trashy games."

"Although this path is difficult and has limited monetization potential, every fan who follows me shares the same attitude."

"I represent millions of players who say no to the current gaming environment. If I go against my original intentions, I will be breaking the hearts of millions of gamers."

"Big Green Pepper, I understand you want to make quick money. It's not too late for you to quit now."

Lu Xiao revealed his true feelings.

Perhaps the ability to make money from the settlements with aristocratic families is a special function bestowed upon me by heaven to prevent me from starving to death.

This original aspiration must never be changed, no matter what.

Even though the aristocratic families are very powerful and have revolutionized the game, Lu Xiao cannot betray his original intentions for money.

Xiao Li gave a thumbs up, "I follow Brother Lu with this mindset. I also know that Brother Lu won't abandon his principles. He already reached an agreement with the operator of the game company during their negotiations. Players who want to download it can just go to the official website to download it themselves."

This is a true die-hard fan!

You understand me~

"Brother, you guys aren't just building a business, you're fulfilling a dream."

"Yes."

"I'm just one of millions of players, so what reason do I have not to join?"

They reached a consensus.

The direction has been confirmed.

The three of them turned to look at Guo Lin.

Guo Lin was engrossed in eating when she noticed a gaze. "Sir, is there another mission?"

Big Green Pepper: "I think employee number two is about to have a nickname."

Xiao Li: "Cookies?"

"Ha ha……"

"What are you laughing at? What cookies?" Guo Lin was completely confused.

Xiao Li: "I recommend a movie to you, Forrest Gump."

"What's the connection?" Guo Lin blinked.

"No contact. Eat, eat more." Lu Xiao coughed lightly. "From now on, sharing meals will be a regular occurrence."

The promise of free meals has already been made, so the remaining thousand or so yuan can only be used to make ends meet.

Lu Xiao was also planning to use their phones to open another coupon later, so he could get a cheaper price when ordering the food.

next day

Guo Lin has already found an office.

They called and asked the two of them to go see the house.

This really surprised Lu Xiao, the green pepper. It was too fast!

"Biscuit-making ability is that strong?"

We arrived at the location provided by Guo Lin.

This is a commercial space located on the second floor of a commercial street.

"The location, rent, orientation, and layout all meet the boss's requirements, and there's no need for renovations; you can move in immediately."

"What about seating and other amenities?" Lu Xiao was trying to save money where possible.

Guo Lin waved her hand, "Once you're satisfied with the house, I'll figure out the rest." She emphasized, "It won't cost any money."

"Satisfied! This is it! Cookies, schedule a meeting with the landlord to sign the contract. Then make a sign, it needs to look like a company sign!"

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

"As expected of second-class biscuits."

Guo Lin's nonchalant demeanor made it seem as if nothing was a big deal to her.

"Big Green Pepper, you need to speed up the configuration of your computer too. Aim to start streaming within three days."

"no problem."

While everything was proceeding smoothly, Lu Xiao felt as if he had forgotten something.

"Hmm? That's strange. Why didn't the landlord from before come to collect the rent? Wasn't he always so punctual?" Lu Xiao then remembered that the 15th was the rent payment date.

"After we move in, we'll have Biscuit contact the original landlord and ask them to pay the outstanding rent."

"Then, each person will receive 15% of the shares. Xiao Li will draft the share certificate to prevent future divisions from the outset."

"Now I need to edit Lu Congtian's video before the broadcast to drive traffic to the live stream."

……

Three days later

After uploading the video clips of Lu Congtian's life that he had recently edited, Lu Xiao started the live broadcast of "The Noble Family".

The game progressed somewhat abruptly.

The first thing that happened was that Lu Xun sent troops to attack Eastern Wu.

But Lu Xun attacking Eastern Wu! Wouldn't that be incredibly eye-catching?!
