Chapter 49: I Have a Treasure, Do You Want It?
Appearing on camera was impossible. He was not a self-media creator, and traffic was of no use to him. On the contrary, because of Sichuan Girl’s transformation into Li Shiya, he would instead become gossip material among netizens.
Besides, even if he could become famous, he did not want to make money that way. What difference would that be from being a workhorse?
He already had a clear plan for his future path—using the daily online shopping pop-up not only to improve himself but also to accumulate wealth.
Improvement mainly included physical fitness, health, skill mastery, and so on. Wealth accumulation either relied on cashing out luxury goods obtained through the shopping pop-up or by selling powerful daily-use items to rich buyers.
The two routes did not conflict and could run parallel. In just a short span of over ten days, his account balance had already increased by more than 200,000, and he had even received a Nautilus watch from the Great Emperor Rushuang.
The speed of wealth accumulation was already remarkable. Just counting the cash in his hands, it was more than what most people earned in a year. Not to mention, if he later drew something valuable, like ginseng from Changbai Mountain worth millions, would it not be sold instantly through Miss Yuan?
At the very least, if he drew some blue pills, he could still auction them off to wealthy middle-aged men. In short, there were countless ways to make money.
He planned to grow steadily at school until graduation and then decide on his future direction according to his ability at that time. The ultimate goal was to one day face off with the Great Emperor Rushuang at Xuanwu Gate.
For now, he only had two goals—self-improvement and achieving financial freedom. After that, all that remained was to enjoy life.
As for romance, marriage, and children—he was only in his early twenties. Should he not enjoy a few more years of freedom? That could wait.
At night, Sichuan Girl was live streaming. He watched for a while before washing up and going to bed. After all, since he did not appear on camera, what was the point of sitting around?
At half past eleven, Sichuan Girl ended the stream, began removing makeup, changed clothes, and wrapped up another day as Li Shiya.
“Old Mo, it’s a pity you didn’t appear on stream today. At peak, my live room had nearly 20,000 viewers, mostly drawn by the clip of you returning. So many people were shouting for you to come out!”
Sichuan Girl slipped off a floral spaghetti strap dress, took off the wig, and transformed from Li Shiya back into Li Chuan. He immediately looked much more normal.
It was not that Li Shiya’s look was abnormal, but this was a men’s dormitory. In the middle of the night, if a beautiful woman appeared, it would be too strange.
Even knowing clearly that this was a man, one still could not help thinking: If only he were a woman. Then, inevitably, some inappropriate images would flash through the mind.
But once remembering that this person was actually a man, one immediately felt disgusted at oneself. It was contradictory.
Hearing this, Lin Mo leaned against the headboard, rolled his eyes at Sichuan Girl standing on the ground, and spat: “Pah! You think I don’t know shame?
I didn’t expect that in real life you’re timid, but online you’re wild.
Not only do you co-stream and flirt with female hosts, but you even let male hosts flirt with you. The craziest thing is—so many men in your stream actually enjoy watching one man flirt with another man! Absolutely ridiculous. I have to say, your fans are just like you—perverted!”
Saying this, Lin Mo put down his phone and sat up, clearly baffled.
“Hey, you’re being narrow-minded. Those are all my dearest friends, my brothers. Without them, how would I make money?”
Sichuan Girl replied while putting on a face mask.
“You’re becoming more and more like Li Shiya. Now you’re even using face masks,” Lin Mo said with twitching lips, full of disdain.
Before, everyone was just rough guys. Who ever used a face mask? Now he had become a delicate boy.
“Of course! Don’t you know makeup damages the skin? I have to take care of myself. I still need to find a wife later.”
“Haven’t you already mastered the disappearing brother technique? What do you need a wife for? If you’re that capable, just use a mirror!” Lin Mo’s tongue lashed out like poison.
Sichuan Girl: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
“You fucking believe I won’t crawl into your bed tonight?”
With that, he scrambled onto Lin Mo’s bed using both hands and feet.
“Damn! Get away from me! Bring Li Shiya instead!” Lin Mo hurriedly kicked him down. This was outrageous!
He, Lin Mo, was a true man. How could he let another man crawl into his bed at midnight?
“Fine! Wait here, I’ll put on makeup!”
“Chuanzi, Chuanzi, calm down. You had lots of viewers in your stream just now. Brother is kneeling to you now,” Lin Mo panicked and quickly apologized. He had no interest in sword-fighting in bed!
Seeing his plea for mercy, Sichuan Girl snorted coldly and returned to his own bed.
“Old Mo, my account is rising, but with school starting soon, I feel uneasy. What if everyone finds out…?”
Lying on his bed, Sichuan Girl was restless.
Although his secret had been discovered by his roommates today, the good side was that his follower count had skyrocketed. In just a single day, he had gained tens of thousands more fans, and the number was still rapidly increasing.
“Up to you. If you don’t want others to know, Brother Wang and I will keep it secret. Besides, I don’t see anything shameful. Big internet celebrities make loads of money. Most of those who gossip are just jealous. There are plenty of cross-dressing bloggers online, even ones with tens of millions of followers. What are you afraid of?” Lin Mo said indifferently.
He had a very open attitude toward this. Especially after his internship, he realized—so long as you had money, and it was earned legally, who would look down on you?
“That’s true. Forget it, I’ll think about it later. Anyway, it’s just the last year. If I really can’t stand it, when recruitment season comes, I’ll move out of school. My account is finally showing signs of blowing up. I can’t give up now.”
Sichuan Girl made up his mind. Mainly because, with more followers, the money came fast. Even now, his account already had solid monetization potential.
He had asked classmates who went out for internships about their income. The good ones made 3,000 to 4,000, while the bad ones only 1,000 to 2,000. None of them compared to him.
“Genshin Impact, launch! Old Mo, want to play together?”
Lin Mo: “Is your shamelessness not without merit?”
“You think I’m Yuan Shao?”
“No, you are shameless among men, and a man among the shameless. Your nickname—Shameless Man!”
Sichuan Girl: …
What was fun about a gacha game? For him, Genshin Impact only meant Miss Yuan. She was the one true goddess. Fatty Dong was nothing but a rookie in comparison.
Time quickly reached midnight. At university, this was still early, far from bedtime.
Meanwhile, Lin Mo pulled down the curtain of his bed, creating a small private space. Not only did it block light, but also kept out mosquitoes.
Soon, today’s shopping pop-up refreshed.
【Gatling gun with blue flames, 6000 rounds; ￥7.45】

Lin Mo: …
Amazing. Today’s products truly broadened his horizons.
“Sichuan Girl, I have a treasure here. Do you want it?”
“What?”
Hearing this, Sichuan Girl poked his head out from the opposite bunk.
“I’ve got some Ku Cha Zi here. It can make your Barret vanish completely. Want to give it a try? You don’t use it anyway. Why not—might as well go all in…”
Before he could finish, a roll of toilet paper flew at him.
“Get lost!”
Lin Mo: …
