Picking Up Fragments

Chapter 42: Tuantuan: Playing Cute!

[Game Program Modifier]: Dreaming Journey... Modifying... Please input specific modification program... In progress... Modification completed!

Within a few minutes, Jiang Siming's bank card received two messages:

"Your card ending in 6624 received a deposit of 3,500,000 credit at 23:11 on June 4th, with a balance of 9,348,540.22 credit. [Industrial and Commercial Bank]"

There was another message from the Industrial and Commercial Bank congratulating him. They had automatically upgraded Jiang Siming's card to a Diamond membership, providing VIP services for future transactions, including free financial products and various other benefits.

Jiang Siming paid no attention and just smirked at the newly added 3.5 million.

This money was really easy to make!

The game "Dreaming Journey" is one of NetEase's most profitable online games. It has been operating for over a decade and still stands strong. The profit value of top-level game accounts and equipment is extremely high. The most expensive account even sells for nearly tens of millions in the market!

Jiang Siming used a modifier to silently create a top-level account in the game, then added a bunch of top-tier equipment and sold it in the market.

Unbeknownst to anyone, in less than ten minutes, Jiang Siming made a net profit of 3.5 million.

If he hadn't been cautious about arousing suspicion due to excessive modifications, Jiang Siming could have directly created an account worth over 10 million.

This modifier truly lives up to its name as a black technology.

In the future, Jiang Siming could easily make a huge fortune every half month relying on it. It's too good to be true!

Currently, Jiang Siming has over 9.4 million credit in his account.

Remembering a few days ago when he was a broke university student who couldn't even afford rent, Jiang Siming felt emotional.

After making money, the first thing Jiang Siming thought of was his family.

However, he wasn't quite ready to explain the source of the money to his parents. They wouldn't believe he earned it just by playing games, especially since he had sent them a hundred thousand not long ago.

Jiang Siming decided it would be better to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to explain to his parents in person; it was too hard to explain clearly over the phone.

After thinking it through, Jiang Siming happily hugged Wang Xinyi and entered his dreams.

Little did Jiang Siming know, his new song had touched many hearts on this lonely night.

A game anchor wrote two consecutive songs, both of which were very popular.

This made Jiang Siming appear for the first time on the hot search list of Weibo.

"A singer-anchor delayed by games, original singer of 'Trotting Horse' and 'Alone in Paris,(changed from Solo In Paris) ' Ming #WeiboTopic"

Starting from the bottom, this Weibo topic climbed to the top ten throughout the night and by morning had reached the eighth position.

The Weibo platform uploaded the audio of his two songs, which saw over 600,000 downloads overnight.

Many users on Weibo were asking for the official version because the live recording had a lot of noise and a monotonous tune, causing perfectionists to be utterly distressed.

Upon waking up the next day and learning about this, Jiang Siming spent half a day finding a recording studio and money to produce the complete versions of these two songs.

He uploaded them to various music platforms for free without seeking copyright or any fees.

This made all the music platforms thrilled because Jiang Siming saved them a lot of money by providing the songs for free.

As a result, these platforms featured Jiang Siming's songs prominently, and their download rates skyrocketed.

However, Jiang Siming didn't have time to focus on these developments.

At this moment, he received a formal invitation from the 4am team!

Following yesterday's discussion, 4am decided to accept Jiang Siming's conditions and officially invited him to join the team.

In addition to meeting Jiang Siming's conditions, Weishen, one of 4am's shareholders, offered Jiang Siming a higher annual salary than the former team member Gusun.

Five million a year, excluding tournament bonuses, competition subsidies, and more.

Weishen didn't include advertisement fees in Jiang Siming's calculation, making this treatment arguably the best within the PUBG teams, second to none!

Faced with such an invitation, Jiang Siming didn't hesitate or negotiate; he readily accepted.

Starting today, Jiang Siming became a member of the 4am team.

As soon as he went live, Jiang Siming shared this news with his audience.

"Are you really going to 4am? To replace Gusun's position?"

"Ming Gods sniping is ten times better than that white-eyed wolf Gusun!"

"Yeah, welcome Ming God to join 4am! Looking forward to the competitions!"

"Never mind the competition for now; the National Strongest Anchor Competition will kick off in a couple of days. Ming God, are you participating?"

"Of course, I must join! Bringing back the title of the strongest anchor means fame and fortune!"

Jiang Siming had just learned about this National Strongest Anchor Competition.

It's a PUBG streaming event organized by Douyu in collaboration with top-level streaming platforms such as Huya, YY, Penguin, and others.

The top ten anchors not only receive substantial prizes but also gain fame in one fell swoop.

Even if you're a small-time anchor, getting into the top ten will definitely make you a focal point and gain a massive following.

Last year, such an event was held, and in the final top ten, four were from Huya, two from YY, three from Qie, while Douyu had an awkward single entry in the tenth place.

At that time, professional players were not allowed in the competition; Douyu's OMG and 17 couldn't participate.

But this year, several platforms have agreed; professional players can join as long as they are also streamers.

Anyway, it's an individual competition, so professional players may not necessarily outshine others.

This year, Douyu is determined to wipe out the shame of last year.

"I'll participate, everyone don't worry." Jiang Siming gave a reassuring answer, easing the audience's concerns.

As soon as he logged into the game and YY, Jiang Siming saw a message from Little Tuantuan on YY.

"Little Ming, do you have time now? Take me to play games, pretty please... (crying emojis) x10."

Seeing this, Jiang Siming pulled her into the YY channel.

As soon as Little Tuantuan saw Jiang Siming, her grievances erupted.

"Little Ming, wuwuwu..."

"What happened? Who bullied you?" Jiang Siming asked, confused.

"Wahh..." When Jiang Siming asked, she became even more distressed.

"I played all day today, jumped with the parachute all day, sob... (complaining) In the last match, I met someone. He just hid behind that box and refused to come out. He insisted that I go first, and then I made a gesture (got angry), and as soon as I did, he killed me. I spent the whole afternoon just killing one teammate, it's so frustrating!"

Tuantuan's distress was relatable, totally relatable!

She poured her grievances to Jiang Siming, but she noticed that instead of consoling her, Jiang Siming seemed to be holding back a laugh.

"Little Ming, you're bullying me too, wuuwuu..."

Jiang Siming suppressed his smile and comforted her, "It's okay, I'll carry you, is that fine?"

"No!"

"?"

"I want to carry myself! I want to kill too!"

"Okay, then let's go."

The two clicked to start and entered the game.

Tuantuan, still in the lobby, vented her frustration by hitting the air and couldn't stop thinking about her earlier unfortunate death.

"Little Ming, let me tell you, next time if I meet such a person, I won't move either. I'll just watch videos since I have internet fees (proud), anyway, our home internet is not paid for outside, our electricity bill is so cheap (pouting)! I can just camp beside him all night! (angry)"

Her cute yet fierce tone left Jiang Siming speechless.
