Chapter 167: Crowdfunding fashion, raising a girlfriend online

“I’m telling you, why do your eyes only see such sordid things? I think those ancient costumes are truly amazing; they don’t even need to be revealing or suggestive. As long as you wear them, they are absolutely beautiful.”

“There are also Saintess outfits, Succubus outfits…”

“Hiss~ Does Lord Chen often watch strange works? Otherwise, where does he get so many creative ideas?”

In An'an's live stream, a gentleman couldn't help but say.

“I really want to buy a set for An'an to wear. What do you guys think about this Summer Cool Swimsuit?”

“Excellent, excellent.”

“Brother, buy it quickly, and let’s watch.”

“Buy what? You haven't even looked at how much it costs…”

A glance at the price tag.

【Summer Cool Three-Piece Swimsuit: Price 25000 happy coins.】

“Good heavens, it costs me 10 days' worth of happy coins in one go.”

“Hahahaha!”

“Can’t afford it, absolutely can’t afford it…”

“Some clothes are really too expensive, especially those with special effect bonuses, like that Wide-Sleeve Flowing Immortal Dress which is said to have an ethereal aura bonus. One piece costs 500,000 happy coins, that’s just ridiculous! What kind of tycoon can afford such expensive clothes?”

500,000 happy coins for one piece of clothing.

This price was simply outrageous in the eyes of all Adventurers.

An Adventurer who sold his life in Great Xia Nevernight City for a day would only earn 2500 happy coins.

This was without considering Starry Sky members, as up to now.

The number of Starry Sky members was still very few.

Only those who followed Chen Yu early on had the Starry Sky member mark.

A regular Adventurer, at most, earned 2500 happy coins a day, yet a Wide-Sleeve Flowing Immortal Dress cost 500,000.

This was equivalent to an Adventurer's entire income for 200 days, without eating, drinking, or spending.

Who could afford to give that?

Unless they had a big gamble in Happy Chess and Cards.

Otherwise, at this stage, perhaps only Bai Feifei had a few hundred thousand happy coins in her possession.

Moreover…

When tipping a gift, at least half of it could go into the streamer's wallet.

Spending 500,000 to buy clothes, that would all go into Lord Chen's pocket.

This was simply exorbitant profit.

Besides, Adventurers risked their lives daily to earn 2500 happy coins, which they needed to spend playing in various Dungeons to convert into food.

It was impossible for anyone to hoard it like that.

Hoarding for 200 days specifically.

Just to buy a piece of clothing for a female streamer, right?

It wasn't just the Wide-Sleeve Flowing Immortal Dress…

The prices of other clothes were also very expensive.

For example, the swimsuit series.

They all started at 10,000 happy coins.

Compared to the Wide-Sleeve Flowing Immortal Dress, the price was not as outrageous.

But it was still an Adventurer's four days' income.

“Working hard all day long.”

“And then spending the money earned on tipping female streamers to buy clothes at night?”

“Please, how could we be that foolish…”

“Let alone the Wide-Sleeve Flowing Immortal Dress, we can’t even buy swimsuits. That’s not just having too much money; who can afford to pay so many happy coins at once?”

“Yes, yes.”

“We’re just a little lustful, not love-struck idiots.”

Most Adventurers expressed disdain.

Of course.

Chen Yu also considered that most Adventurers couldn't afford to pay so many happy coins at once.

So…

He created a crowdfunding system.

Or rather, fashion fragments.

For example, a 10,000 happy coins swimsuit could be split and sold, allowing individual parts to be bought.

People could also contribute a few, dozens, or hundreds of happy coins each, crowdfunding to eventually put together a complete outfit.

If a streamer had a desired outfit, she could also specify it and put it on her wish list.

This made it more convenient for Adventurers to crowdfund.

Of course, if some Adventurers were stubborn and didn't want to crowdfund outfits from the wish list, they could also choose one from the fashion mall to crowdfund; this wouldn't affect anything.

Anyway, Chen Yu would make money in the end.

In short, a swimsuit priced at 10,000 could be crowdfunded through the system, with each person spending 100 happy coins; only 100 people were needed to crowdfund it.

Divided this way, it wasn't much at all.

Then, regarding the gifted fashion, Chen Yu made some clever touches.

For example…

When a streamer wore a certain fashion, the system would display a notification saying who gifted it.

This notification would not only appear in front of the streamer.

It would also appear on the public screen of the live stream.

The same applied to crowdfunded fashion.

The names of the Adventurers who contributed the top three highest amounts would be displayed.

If some Adventurers were shy about real-name gifting, they could use a virtual name ID.

This also applied when logging into the live stream; one could register a virtual name.

This could prevent being recognized, avoiding awkward moments and domestic violence incidents.

The fashion settings were roughly like this.

Now, virtual pet ownership is encouraged.

Adventurers collectively virtually own a streamer.

Then they watch this streamer sing and dance, providing them with emotional value.

When the streamer provides adequate emotional value.

Then the Adventurers will provide the streamer with happy coins value.

This is the operating model of Audition Online.

Additionally, when Adventurers tip, they will also receive a platform-wide level increase in the Audition Online Dungeon.

Tipping a certain gift would grant a certain gift value.

Gift value could increase one's level.

The higher the level, the more special privilege notifications one would have when entering a certain live stream.

Of course…

Due to the small population of Tidal Town at the current stage, the Audition Online live streaming platform also had relatively few viewers, and the implementation of many systems was slower.

Considering that everyone was relatively poor, in terms of fashion.

Chen Yu didn't make everything expensive; he also created some relatively cheap fashion items.

For example, the Bunny Girl outfit.

The regular Bunny Girl outfit only cost 1000 happy coins.

This fell within the range that the general public could afford, making it convenient to recover happy coins.

There were also some special fashions that couldn't be bought with money; they required fans of the live stream to spend one happy coin daily and consistently check in to obtain them.

In the female streamer An'an's live stream.

Soon, a wealthy big spender gifted her a Bunny Girl outfit.

An'an's eyes lit up at this.

She didn't refuse the big spender's gesture.

She chose to put it on.

At the same time, she sweetly said, “Thank you, Big Hammer Gege, for the Bunny Girl outfit. Thank you, Gege.”

A flash of white light.

A beautiful young girl dressed in a black Bunny Girl outfit, wearing rabbit ear accessories on her head, appeared before them.

Between the over-the-knee fishnet stockings and the thigh-high tight bodysuit, glimpses of fair skin were subtly revealed.

“Wow!”

“This is too sexy, too beautiful.”

“I knew the Bunny Girls in Happy Chess and Cards must have been censored; this outfit is the real deal, it makes one's blood boil.”

“Quick! An'an, quickly dance for the Gege's to see.”

“Gege's won't watch for free; Gege's will tip you, follow you, and light up your fan board.”

The bullet comments flashed by rapidly.

The female streamer An'an had a smile on her lips and didn't dampen the big spender's enthusiasm.

When she chose the path of suggestive live streaming, she knew what she had to do.

Soon.

An'an chose the song “Loving You” from many songs.

“This song is dedicated to all the Gege's.”

“An'an loves you all.”

“I hope all the Gege's love An'an too, okay?”

After she finished speaking.

The music began to play.

In front of the dancing machine.

A 3D model dancer led the dance; this screen was not visible to those watching the live stream outside.

An'an learned the dance moves from the 3D model dancer.

She danced energetically on the dancing machine.

She already had a foundation in dance.

The music rhythm of this song was not too fast, so she danced without any panic, with graceful and captivating moves, coupled with the melodious music.

It instantly attracted many Adventurers.
