The long pain is better than the short pain.
The short pain is better than a sudden sharp pain.
Sure enough, Wen Le didn't return to the dormitory with himself today.
"The Wall of Heart" cracks at MAX.
"Alright. Judging by that little running direction, he must have gone to spend money at the 'Kuroro Maid Café' again. This time, he's probably going to be scammed for 3000. No, this time it'll be five thousand."
Lu Qing felt guilty and thought that if he ever became successful in the future, it would be necessary to take his good brother to the "Black and White Mansion" for a real maid service experience, in order to repair his shattered heart.
"Today, Jing Jing definitely can't save him, so good luck to him."
Strolling along the corridor of the student apartment, he soon arrived at room 12 on the 5th floor.
The dormitory was empty, Li Mingshi was still out having fun, and only Zhang Yang was sitting in front of the computer, like a Night's Watchman guarding the northern border,
no matter when, no matter where, a super pervert, always watching the broadcast.
Oh, today he was playing a game.
Good.
Lu Qing entered the room and walked up behind him, glancing at the computer.
Zhang Yang, hearing the sound, turned his head in surprise, then took off his headphones and greeted, "Oh, Lu Qing, what wind brought you back today? Why didn't Wen Le come back to the dormitory with you?"
He put down the mouse, ignoring the fact that his character had just been killed by the mid laner on the opposite side, and stood up with a smile to greet him.
"……You play your game, I just came back to take a look."
Lu Qing hid his intentions well,
Glancing at the fresh spilled instant noodle soup on Zhang Yang's desk, thinking that this guy might not even be able to afford Huang Men Chicken Rice lately.
"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a game, I play this League of Bears purely for fun. Unlike Li Mingshi, when he plays Dota, anyone who touches him from behind gets cursed out."
Zhang Yang's carefree attitude was as indifferent and casual as his life philosophy, and as his lifelong pursuit of "appreciating both the elegant and the popular."
Good.
Lu Qing saw it all.
He walked to his own seat without a trace, opened his notebook, and casually asked,
"By the way, Zhang Yang, are you short of money lately?"
His tone was very casual, as if he was asking whether the sun was big today.
"Ah?"
Zhang Yang didn't react immediately, just sat down again and casually replied,
"Short of money? Lu Qing, when am I not short of money? I'm short of money every day."
"…Right."
Lu Qing nodded, then continued to ask, "Then if, I recently found a good job that I think suits you, and I want to recommend it to you as a part-time, would you have time to do it?"
"What?!"
Zhang Yang: "What kind of job? Does it pay? Lu Qing, is this good fortune?!"
Lu Qing originally wanted to say, "A friend of mine has introduced you to a XXX…" to indirectly take a detour, as he could take care of his roommate's self-esteem, not making him feel inferior.
However, seeing Zhang Yang's eager look…
He suddenly felt that being straightforward about being the boss didn't seem inappropriate.
So he said,
"Yeah, it's a part-time job that you can do sitting in front of the computer, you can do it in the dormitory. The time… it's probably starting next Wednesday, every other day, each time for 2-3 hours, and in a week, including Sunday, a total of four times."
Lu Qing looked out the window and casually threw out a sentence, "2800 base salary per month. Depending on the revenue, there might be a 200 full attendance bonus and a quarterly bonus."
"Holy crap?!! 3000?! Brother, brother! I really, really need it! My neighbor's beautiful wife needs it too!
Lu Qing, you're my real brother!! No matter when, you always think of your brothers! Tell me, what do I need to do? I can do anything!!"
Zhang Yang was already speaking nonsense, as in a situation where his pockets were emptier than his face, being able to get a "part-time job" with a base salary of 2800, and it sounded like he only needed to work 8-12 hours a week, and it wasn't tiring! Such a good deal…
Where could a college student like him find it easily?
If he didn't know someone, if he didn't have a reliable buddy, where could he find such a part-time job?
Little did he know.
At this moment, Lu Qing was secretly laughing.
He kept a straight face and said, "Well, let me explain the details of the part-time job. It's actually very simple."
"Go ahead!"
Zhang Yang threw down the computer, pulled the chair over with a slap, and listened intently with all his strength.
"Well." Lu Qing announced,
"—I need you to be a room manager in a live stream for me, using your quick reflexes to screen and delete all the black fans' comments and impolite messages, personal attacks, etc., and immediately ban these people."
"?! Brother, a room manager?!"
"Yes, since I don't have time to always monitor the comments, I have too much to do, so this job, you can take it if you want. If not, it's fine."
"This……"
Zhang Yang opened his mouth, thought for about 3 seconds, and then nodded like a chick pecking at grains.
"I'm good at this, I'm good at this! I watch HuYa and DouYu every day, I'm very professional, Lu Qing. This job, I can take it! And to be honest, my eyes are better than Wen Le's, 1.0 vision, playing games every day without glasses! I can do it, I definitely can!"
His proactive attitude was a bit over the top,
but Lu Qing didn't mind, Lu Qing was very satisfied.
What he wanted was a reliable confidant who could help him keep an eye on the black fans and handle miscellaneous issues.
This way, he could free up his hands and have more time to plan for Bai Xing or communicate with Lubia about the illustrations.
As for the salary issue, he had calculated an account, assuming the starting goal was a small one, not aiming for Senri Satsuki's thousand ships, but just 500 ships, then the monthly turnover would be around 128*500=64000, multiplied by his commission of 0.15, resulting in a figure of 9600.
So deducting 3000 to pay Zhang Yang's salary was no problem at all, and this was based on not counting the gift stream.
If the gift stream was included, it could be anywhere from ten to twenty thousand, or even more, making it even easier to maximize the income.
Compared to hiring someone random from outside, it was indeed more reliable to have someone like Zhang Yang who he knew well.
Lu Qing believed that sometimes, the bond between roommates was much stronger than the cooperation relationship with random colleagues from society.
"Very good."
He nodded slightly.
"Then like this, later I'll send you the live stream room number, you follow in advance, and then get the administrator identity before the broadcast starts, at that time, look at my eyes, and switch to the social mode. OK?"
"Got it, got it, no problem at all! Lu Qing, is there a probation period for this job? Directly full 3000?"
I heard that after graduation, when you start working, those big companies will first exploit you during the probation period, and the salary for the first three months is only 80%... It's possible that before the fourth month, the HR (Human Resources Recruitment Manager) will find various reasons to lay you off!
For me, a part-timer, can I really get the full amount? Are there no various fines?"
Zhang Yang still couldn't believe that such a good part-time job had fallen into his lap.
In his eyes, if he worked 2*4=8 hours a week, then with a 32-hour work month and a full attendance bonus, he could directly get 3000, which was almost equivalent to "hourly wage of 100 yuan"?
Such a price, for a sophomore who had no other skills besides playing games, was like a dream.
With this 3000, instant noodles could be upgraded from Sānxiān to Kangshifu,
even Xin's ramen, spicy cabbage,
or even eating Huangmen Chicken every day would be no problem.
Lu Qing's "olive branch" directly made Zhang Yang hallucinate, feeling that he was about to ascend.
A happy life was right in front of him.
New skins in the game were stable.
In the future, there might even be leftover grain to recharge for the female streamer.
Zhang Yang laughed so hard that his face looked like a blooming chrysanthemum, and he couldn't sit still.
Standing up directly, showing maximum respect.
"Well,"
Lu Qing finalized it, "You don't have to worry about the money. I also believe in your attitude towards work, after all, we are roommates, so I will definitely give you priority. The only thing you need to prepare——"
Here, he paused slightly, "It's just that you need to get familiar with the VTB scene beforehand, because the livestream room I need you to monitor belongs to a virtual streamer."
"!"
“Pay extra attention these days, study more, watch more. See how other moderators handle trolls in their rooms. And observe under what circumstances the platform's super moderators suddenly appear to ban a live stream room. Do you get what I mean?”
"Understood. I understand. Bro, you really don't need to say more!"
Zhang Yang got excited and revealed,
Last time, I wanted to surprise Wen Le, so I tried to research virtual YouTubers myself. Then, with a mindset of 'appreciating both the elegant and the popular,' I opened a livestream room on Bilibili! Holy crap, you know what? I hit the jackpot! The virtual avatar was so stunning I can't even describe it! Even Wen Le was stunned!
Lu Qing: "? A live broadcast room? A VTB's?"
"Yeah! Later, I kept thinking, this stuff is really interesting, huh! So much that I haven't even been watching real female streamers lately. I've changed, bro. I'm now a hardcore otaku. I've reached the 'elegant' stage. Lu Qing, I'm on the right track, I'm perfectly suited for this! This job, bro, I can definitely nail it!"
Zhang Yang eagerly pulled out his dirty Xiaomi phone, opened his Bilibili account, and directly searched for "Lubia"...
Under Lu Qing's increasingly peculiar gaze,
He clicked into Lubia's blacked-out, not-currently-streaming livestream room.
"See, bro, it's this streamer! When I clicked in, she seemed to be testing something. Wen Le told me it was called the 'Mrs. Testing Phase' or something. Anyway, I took one look and, damn, it was top-notch! Super exciting!"
He said excitedly, "I thought, if our part-time gig ever gets us the chance to be moderators for such a top-tier virtual avatar, I'd gladly have my head twisted off, bro! Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha."
"Hahahaha."
"Hahaha, ha…?
Bro, why aren't you laughing?"
Zhang Yang's expression gradually froze when he saw Lu Qing's unmoved, strange look.
"Bro?"
"Mhm."
Lu Qing nodded,
And said lightly,
"I'll give you 5 seconds to take back that vicious oath of yours."
His brain overloaded for about 30 seconds.
When he finally reacted, Zhang Yang was startled:
"¿? Wait, bro, are you hiding another one?"
……
……

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
