Fishing Livestream

Current uncompleted task: "Bankruptcy Edge".

"Bankruptcy Edge": As a fishing gear store owner who isn't particularly outstanding, you find yourself on the verge of bankruptcy, unable to pay your rent. You must find a way to earn enough money to pay your rent by the deadline, or you will be deemed to have failed the trial task!

Reward for completing the task: Points + one random reward draw.

Punishment for failing the task: Bankruptcy will lead to the loss of store ownership, and the system will vanish.

Task countdown: 246 hours 48 minutes 32 seconds.

Current task progress: 6470/10000.

The task time is more than half over, and Yue Feng has already sold nearly 6500 yuan of stock, mostly from store inventory such as Rice Wine and regular bait, which means there's no significant pressure to restock for the moment. He is very close to completing the task.

Thanks to a combination of promotions these past days, the shop's foot traffic has noticeably increased. Although most customers are trying things out for the first time, a group of regulars has already been established. As long as the product quality doesn't decline, these regulars can be considered stable customers.

Having found a way, Yue Feng realized that completing the task under existing conditions wasn't as difficult as imagined, and he became full of motivation right then and there.

The following week, Yue Feng lived fulfilling days, opening the shop at 5:30 am, buying lunch after 10:30 am and driving to Wangjiazhuang to fish in the river. In the evening, he'd return, deliver the catch to a partnered restaurant, then head back to the store to have dinner.

The evenings were for bookkeeping and maintenance, and life was stable and solid.

Several boatloads of the "show your catch and win bait" events were very successful, and now, Yue Feng's daily turnover remained stable at over 600 yuan. Adding the stable earnings of two to three hundred yuan from selling fish, Yue Feng completed the trial task five days early.

Ding! Congratulations on completing the trial task "Bankruptcy Edge"! Your current status suffix has been officially upgraded from a fishing gear store owner on the verge of bankruptcy to an ordinary fishing gear store owner.

Ding! Congratulations on the points reward of 1500!

Ding! Congratulations on receiving one chance for a random B category special item draw! The current environment is suitable, would you like to use it?

What? The random draw mentioned in the system rewards isn't a typical lottery but is specifically marked as category B. I wonder what that means.

System, system, what does category B mean?

"Category B Lottery is a higher level of lottery rights, with the system offering a higher quality of items and functions, and more abundant prizes! The ordinary points lottery is category C, and there are three higher levels above B category, which are A, S, and SS categories! Current permissions are insufficient, a detailed item list is available only with certain permission level upgrades!"

With the system's explanation, Yue Feng understood that it was a higher level lottery opportunity. Even more excited now, he immediately activated the lottery.

Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the special item "Black Technology Floating Ball".

"Black Technology Floating Ball": High-end technology from the future that can connect to any currently open network live streaming portals without restrictions;

Basic Functions: Waterproof, shock-resistant, automatic follow, shape mimicry, energy-gathering cell.

Notice: This item is bind on pickup and cannot be given away or traded, and the source must not be revealed. If acquired by any third party, it will automatically be destroyed.

Yue Feng's eyes widened as he read the performance description of the new gadget placed on the table in front of him.

Damn, a livestreaming artifact!

A few days ago, while fishing by the river, Yue Feng had "passively" conducted his first live stream, feeling a bit embarrassed as he was captured by someone else's camera, chattering away.

However, after analyzing the situation later, he realized that livestreaming could be a very good choice for running a successful fishing gear store.

But at the time, occupied with completing his trial task and lacking spare cash for equipment, Yue Feng had set the idea aside. Now, as it turned out, the reward for completing the trial task was a piece of black technology live streaming equipment!

Yue Feng hastily unpacked the floating ball to reveal its round and chubby body.

The device was only slightly larger than an adult's fist, made of some unknown composite material with a camera resembling an eye under its transparent shield.

Yue Feng weighed it casually with his hand; it wasn't heavy at all and, if he had to describe it, it was like some of the pendant-like, round 360-degree cameras.

On top of the floating ball's round head was a red button, which Yue Feng pressed out of curiosity.

Ding! The Black Technology Floating Ball is initializing. User Yue Feng is now bound to it. Would you like to activate it?

As the prompt sounded, Yue Feng's mind made the choice to confirm!

Ding! Activation successful!

Ding! Congratulations on binding and activating the Black Technology Floating Ball. You are now assigned the novice live streaming task "First Live Stream".

"First Live Stream" task requirement: Open live streaming rights and have your own live stream room. Task countdown 24h.

Reward: Unknown functional module.

Penalty for failure: The Floating Ball will be retracted.

The small sphere began to vibrate with a humming sound, and after a few seconds, it stabilized and hovered in mid-air.

With the successful start-up, Yue Feng automatically received the management rights for the floating ball in his mind, along with a synthesized electronic voice that came to his thoughts.

Ding! You have not selected a live stream content type yet. Please choose the live stream type and perform the first routine function setting!

Along with binding the Floating Ball came a compulsory task, but the content was relatively simple—just to secure live streaming rights and set up a stream room.

This was something Yue Feng had already researched in his free time. The process to enable live streaming wasn't difficult; it only required uploading personal basic information for verification, which could be done very quickly and without any hassle.

Yue Feng took out his phone, accessed the Seafood Live platform which he frequently visited, and in the personal information section, he found the option to upload basic information to apply for live streaming access. Taking out his ID card, he uploaded the necessary content, and in less than a minute, the application was approved.

Congratulations on successfully passing the video live streaming rights application. Your live streaming function is now enabled, and your room number is 87886331!

Ding! Congratulations on completing the novice live streaming task "First Live Stream", unlocking the new Floating Ball feature "Smart Housekeeper"!

"Smart Housekeeper": Automatically becomes the live stream room administrator, with the ability to intelligently distinguish all behaviors in the live stream room using big data algorithms, accurately judge any potential risks in milliseconds, and respond accordingly.

This feature module was also very practical, meaning he wouldn't have to worry about violations or trolls once he started streaming.

Yue Feng thoroughly checked all of the Floating Ball's basic functions in his mind, made the necessary settings, and saved them!

The Floating Ball is now bound to Seafood Live, room number 87886331! All initializations are completed. Please start your first live stream!
