Chapter 212: Chapter 210: Is This a Live Stream?

[Host has collected one old, broken-down Xiaomi phone. System reward: 5,000 yuan. The reward has been deposited into Host’s bank account. Please check your balance.]

...

As he dumped a box of phones into the woven bag, notification chimes rang in his mind for nearly thirty seconds.

He pulled out his phone to check. Holy cow—over 600,000 yuan had been deposited!

When he looked at the huge stack of cardboard boxes before him again, Fang Chenyi’s eyes were filled with dollar signs.

A quick mental calculation told him that if he went through all of these phones, he would make at least ten million!

’This is insanely profitable!’

Even with that thought, Fang Chenyi didn’t stop working. After stuffing the empty cardboard box into the woven bag, he picked up another large box of phones and continued dumping them out.

Nearly half an hour later, Fang Chenyi had collected the phones from half the garage into his woven bag.

The constant sound of deposit notifications ringing in his head was like a shot of adrenaline.

Picking up the last box of old phones, Fang Chenyi glanced inside and saw it was full of Apple phones, so he started dumping them out without a second thought.

[Host has collected one old, broken-down Apple phone. System reward: 5,000 yuan. The reward has been deposited into Host’s bank account. Please check your balance.]

[Host has collected one old, broken-down Apple phone. System reward: 5,000 yuan. The reward has been deposited into Host’s bank account. Please check your balance.]

[Host has collected one old, broken-down Apple phone, triggering a special system reward. Reward: 49% equity in Apple Inc. The share transfer documents have been placed in the woven bag. Host may retrieve them.]

"Holy fuck! What is happening? A 49% stake in Apple Inc.?! Does it have to be this fucking awesome?!"

Fang Chenyi hadn’t expected to trigger another special system reward, much less one for shares in Apple Inc., a company he had generally boycotted!

’Of course, he’d boycotted them before to support domestic products, but things were different now. He was the company’s second-largest shareholder. He couldn’t boycott it anymore. In fact, he’d head over to headquarters later, call a board meeting, and have all products shipped to Huaxia sold at cost! Haha!’

Shaking his head to clear it of these useless thoughts, Fang Chenyi turned his attention to the remaining cardboard boxes.

He casually opened one. This time, it wasn’t old phones inside, but a box of laptops.

"Heh, Principal Wang is pretty sharp. He knows this stuff is valuable!"

As he spoke, he started picking up the laptops.

[Host has collected one old, broken-down ASUS laptop. System reward: 16,000 yuan. The reward has been deposited into Host’s bank account. Please check your balance.]

...

After another half hour of work, he had completely cleared out the entire garage.

Unfortunately, though, he didn’t receive another special reward in all that time.

He glanced at the text message alerts on his phone. In just about an hour, not only had he gotten a 49% stake in Apple Inc., but he’d also received over nine million in cash!

’Nine million in an hour. Even Old Ma probably couldn’t make money this fast!’

He shook out the woven bag, folded it neatly, and put it back in his satchel before strolling coolly out of the garage.

By the time he came out, the sky was completely dark. Fang Chenyi didn’t go to Villa One or Two, instead walking straight back to his own, Villa Three. He looked around but saw no sign of Bai Menghan. Well-fed, well-watered, and with a hefty new income, his mind naturally turned to other desires, and he couldn’t help but feel a little restless.

He took out his phone and sent Bai Menghan a WeChat message, asking where she was and why she wasn’t coming back to sleep.

After a short wait, Bai Menghan’s reply came back:

"You pervert, just sleep by yourself. I’m sleeping with my mom tonight (emoji of a tongue sticking out)."

Not one to give up, Fang Chenyi tried to coax her a few more times, but Bai Menghan still refused to come back.

He shook his head in resignation. "Ah, forget it. A grown man like me can sleep by himself."

Muttering to himself, Fang Chenyi washed up, flopped onto his bed, and started to fall asleep.

But just as he was drifting off, his phone started ringing.

He sighed, rolled over, and looked at the screen. It was Principal Wang.

"Holy fuck, Xiaocong, why the hell aren’t you asleep in the middle of the night?!"

Principal Wang ignored Fang Chenyi’s outburst and said in an exasperated tone:

"Brother Fang, I’m all set up over here. Why haven’t you come over yet?"

Fang Chenyi rolled over and sat up, completely baffled.

"What’s all set up?"

"Brother Fang, you can’t do this to me! You promised you’d help me with the tournament! How can you go back on your word?!"

Fang Chenyi rolled his eyes irritably.

"A tournament? What kind of fucking tournament are you playing in the middle of the night?"

But Principal Wang sounded even more frustrated than Fang Chenyi. He replied, almost speechless:

"No, Brother Fang, I know your skills are top-tier, but the tournament is in three days! You should at least come over and play a couple of rounds with the team so they can get used to your style and tactics..."

’Damn! It’s just a stupid game, do you have to be so serious?’

But then he remembered the benefits he’d reaped from all that stuff he’d been given. He swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and sighed. ’Ah well, I owe him one.’

Muttering to himself, he got up, threw on a t-shirt, and headed out the door.

When he arrived at Principal Wang’s villa, he walked in to find everyone sitting at a row of gaming desks in the living room, waiting for him.

Not only that, but Fang Chenyi also noticed a phone set up in front of the gaming desks, apparently livestreaming.

Confused, Fang Chenyi pointed at the phone. "What’s this? Are you livestreaming?"

As soon as Fang Chenyi walked in, everyone stood up. Principal Wang hurried over, pulled Fang Chenyi to the center seat at the gaming desks, and sat him down.

Then, before a still-confused Fang Chenyi could say anything, Principal Wang clapped his hands in front of the phone’s camera and announced with a laugh:

"Haha, all right folks, TA-DA! Let me give you all a grand introduction. The man sitting next to me is the one and only Fang Chenyi, who you’ve all been dying to see! This is the legend who single-handedly wiped out the entire Undying Squad last time!"

The moment Fang Chenyi appeared on camera, the entire livestream chat exploded.

A flood of scrolling comments instantly covered two-thirds of the screen:

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! This guy is so handsome! Mom, I’m in love again!"
