Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

Are they different?

"Fine! I can't be bothered arguing with you! If you don't want to lend it, then don't! How about this, I have something here that I can use as collateral!"

【Speaking.】

Saki took a deep breath and spoke with a pained tone, as if a warrior were cutting off his own arm:

"I'm going to pawn my memories!"

I'll mortgage you my memory from my previous life, when I was in the second year of junior high, that I danced with my sword in the rain after losing a truth or dare game!

Take it!

Saki was very generous.

This memory is undoubtedly one of the most unbearable and darkest parts of his life...

Even though I've traveled to another world, I still feel so embarrassed whenever I think back on it that I want to bang my head against a wall and die.

If he could mortgage this memory and never recall it again, he would be willing to give the system another 500 million popularity points!

【Ding! 】

To ensure the integrity and absolute stability of the host's personality, only a very small portion of memories may be pledged, and only once.

Your mortgage application has been rejected.

what?

What does "only once" mean?

Did he mortgage it before?

when?

Saki was taken aback.

But then I felt something was off.

If the mortgage had already been taken out, then why does he still remember all those dark secrets from his past so clearly...?

hateful!

Is there so much of a dark past that you can't mortgage it all?

However, after careful recollection, Sakiji vaguely remembered it.

He did indeed mortgage a tiny, very small portion of his memories.

It was at the very beginning, when he mortgaged twenty-seven items to the system in one go.

Memory is one of them.

The cold, dark memories of the past have ultimately become part of the incredibly warm five million.

Moreover, given that Saki's memories are perfectly complete at this moment, with no gaps to be found.

He became even more convinced that the system's so-called "mortgage" was nothing more than a nominal takeaway, purely nominal.

It's as if his limbs, torso, and organs had all been mortgaged to the system long ago.

But aren't all of these still working well in him now?

From this perspective, the system's collateral is actually quite reasonable.

However, conscience aside, the problem still lies before Qi Ji.

Since mortgaging the property is not an option, how can he raise the million-dollar sum required for the Silver Wish in a short period of time?

That's right, the solution that Saki came up with was the [Silver Wish]!

Only the [Silver Wish]!

If he can acquire the [Silver Prayer], then Saki will be able to use his signature move, which he recently successfully inscribed—

The moon descended overnight.

In Tsukimi's hands, this move once instantly killed a fifth-tier opponent.

Since Yuejian can instantly kill a fifth-tier opponent, it shouldn't be too difficult for me to kill a mere fourth-tier opponent with this move, right?

However, the same problem still exists—

His popularity score isn't high enough!

Previously, Qi Ji had gradually accumulated a net worth of 700,000 yuan through video revenue and live streaming.

I'm only 300,000 short of getting the [Silver Wish]!

However, the system suddenly gave him a [Replica Crystal], leaving Qi Ji with no choice but to reluctantly spend 100,000.

So now there are only sixty left.

Of course, even without deducting the 100,000, he still wouldn't have enough money to buy the Silver Wish in full.

No, wait!

Saki suddenly realized something—

Full payment?

Why did he pay in full?

Isn't installment payment a better option?

Upon realizing this, Qi Ji felt as if a brand new door had suddenly opened before him.

He immediately shouted excitedly to the system:

"System, give me the [Silver Wish], I want to pay in installments!"

However, the system was so bad that it didn't respond.

Of course, Qi Ji couldn't indulge it!

"Are you deaf?! I told you to activate installment payments for me!!!"

"Hurry up, I'll count to three!!!"

[Ding! Installment payment is now activated.]

Qi Ji was overjoyed and quickly switched to the system interface.

However, when he saw the down payment amount, he was completely stunned.

Are you fucking messing with me?

In the shop, the down payment amount for [Silver Wish] was clearly displayed:

Seven hundred thousand!

【Dear Host, this is the lowest down payment we can negotiate for you!】

Qi Ji could tell that the system really could only help this much.

Since they had already made things convenient for him, he couldn't say anything more.

Therefore, Qi Ji decided to try to raise the 100,000 from somewhere else.

He took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out with trembling hands to the "Start Broadcast" button on the system interface.

Originally, Qi Ji was thinking that after rescuing Liu Li, he would let Liu Li leave first.

That way, he won't appear in Liuli's live stream.

If he really can't win, he can just turn around and run away.

If all else fails, even selling one's body is acceptable...

That's absolutely unacceptable!

However, since we're already on the topic, let me just mention it briefly—

As is well known, in the anime series "Echoes," almost every member of the Kamishiro family is somewhat psychologically disturbed.

And that old hag Chiho Kamishiro is a pervert!

I especially like younger men!

In the original storyline, she even...

Ahem! We've gone off on a tangent!

In short, what Qi Ji meant was that if he didn't stream, even if he couldn't win, he would at least have room to maneuver.

But if he starts broadcasting, there's really no turning back...

Don't go live.

It cannot be broadcast.

Unable to broadcast...

【Ding! 】

[Live broadcast successful!]

【Ding! 】

[System Notification: Special item "Lucky Bag Card" successfully used!]

As the current top streamer of "Echoes", Qi Ji's live stream room was immediately flooded with viewers as soon as it opened.

"Brother Ji! You're finally streaming! Hurry and save Liuli!"

"Laoji! Why are you only arriving now! Hurry up! Liuli can't hold on much longer!"

It was entirely expected.

As soon as Qi Ji started his live stream, his chat room was filled with requests for help.

Seeing these comments, Saki felt anxious.

Do you think I don't want to save them?

I'm trying to figure something out!

Qi Ji didn't dare to delay and immediately sent a comment, becoming his own shill.

I'm Not a Silent God: "Wow! The streamer's livestream is opening lucky bags! Can I participate by sending a few monthly tickets? I'll send one first!"

"What? There's even a prize draw?"

"That's true!"

"Haki, let's make a deal first. You got the monthly pass, so you have to go save Liuli!"

"Here's your monthly pass. Save Liuli, understand?"

Thanks to the success of the lucky bags, the backend was flooded with donation messages in no time!

However, it still wasn't enough.

Get more!

We need more!

Saki could only continue to act as a shill.

I'm Not the God of Silence: "Wow, everyone look!!! The donation pool is just a little short of unlocking the God of Silence's side story! Brothers, charge, let's pour our power into the donation pool!!!"

After being reminded by Qi Ji, everyone realized that the progress bar for the extra chapter was indeed just a little short.

As a result, several big spenders in the live stream immediately and generously donated.

[Ding! Sponsor "Bo Qing" has donated twelve monthly tickets!]

[Ding! "Li Liping Tianming" has awarded eight monthly tickets!]

[Ding! "Wandering into Prosperity" has tipped off the airplane!]

A barrage of donation notifications flashed by—it was a lifesaver!

610,000! 630,000! 660,000! 710,000!

There was even an extra ten thousand!

110,000 popularity points, gathered in the blink of an eye!!!
