Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Fearing the Prodigal Son’s Capriciousness [Extra Chapter for Kongkong, also known as the starting point’s M helmsman]

Lu Xiaobu arrived at Zhi Cheng IT, and everyone immediately greeted him: ”Welcome, Young Master Bu.”

”Hahaha, you guys did a good job this time, reward, 10,000 each.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand generously.

Li Jin immediately started counting the money with a clickety-clack.

This job, he had secured with two bottles of Moutai asked from Zhang Meng; otherwise, he really lacked presence!

”Thank you, Young Master Bu.”

Everyone was immediately overjoyed.

10,000 each!

In the past, that was a month’s salary, and even now it’s half a month’s salary.

”Alright, since you finished the job in a week, take the rest of the month off. Just leave one person on shift to monitor and maintain everything. Salaries will be paid as usual, and the person on duty will get double.” As Lu Xiaobu started downloading apps on his phone, he continued.

”Really?!”

Everyone was ecstatic.

Although they knew Young Master Bu wouldn’t lie to them, they were overjoyed when it actually happened!

”Really, now scram.” Lu Xiaobu said unceremoniously, ”The software is done, what the hell do you guys need to hang around here for? Those who should be with their girlfriends, be with them; those who should be with their right hand, be with that.”

”Pfft, hahahahaha!”

A bunch of guys laughed.

Only since becoming programmers had they ever felt this light with nothing to do.

Although Lu Xiaobu agreed to let them leave now, they were still conscientious, explaining things in detail to Lu Xiaobu and making fine adjustments according to his wishes, striving for perfection.

They might be sloppy with others, but not with Young Master Bu, nor did they want to be.

In the end, these guys only left the company under Lu Xiaobu’s threats, accompanied by a mix of yelling and cursing.

This scene made the previous boss, Tian Xuning, feel somewhat envious.

Why such a big difference?

Just a few days ago, Xiao Wang, who would leave early to be with his girlfriend, chose to stay and take the first shift.

”Young Master, shall we start recruiting?” Liang Lan asked.

Although she didn’t understand why the Young Master would choose to do something that wasn’t highly regarded right now, she still went ahead and contacted some existing live streamers, discussing potential moves with them, out of responsibility for the Young Master.

After all, even if she didn’t know the Young Master’s purpose, she knew that having some veterans in the industry would make it easier to attract an audience.

”Recruit? No.” Lu Xiaobu smirked, ”What they call live streaming now? It’s just like a nightclub moved onto the internet, full of filth.”

”But aren’t all the streamers like that?” Liang Lan was puzzled.

She had also watched some streamers in the past couple of days.

In one word, indecent.

Just like the Young Master said, it was like nightclubs invading the internet with all kinds of lewd jokes, excessive impropriety, some even outright quote prices.

If it weren’t for helping the Young Master gather this information, she wouldn’t have watched.

”No no no, we don’t need that kind of streamer.” Lu Xiaobu said with a laugh, ”It’s like reading novels; does it have to be pornographic novels? Not necessarily, our book city has plenty of thrilling literature that people like to read.”

”En.”

Liang Lan nodded, aware that Young Master Bu had ideas again.

”Xiao Wang, set up a streamer account for me, I’m going live today, I’m going to live stream and recruit streamers.” Lu Xiaobu stood up excitedly and said.

”Yes, Young Master.”

Xiao Wang was speechless.

He never imagined that Young Master Bu would be the first person to go live on Juechen.

And to live stream recruitment no less, really knows how to have fun.

The live streaming account was ready.

Lu Xiaobu casually had Li Xide send out a live streaming recommendation on the Jueying phone system.

”Fear not a prodigal son with money, but fear a prodigal who knows how to have fun.”

Everyone who managed to get a Jueying phone was familiar with the term ’prodigal son’, knowing it referred to Lu Xiaobu.

So, when they saw the notification...

Immediately, many people downloaded and installed Juechen Live.

After entering Juechen Live, they all chose to watch Lu Xiaobu’s live stream as their first thing.

Well, the reason for such unity was...

There was only Lu Xiaobu himself streaming live on Jueying for now.

Powerful, very powerful.

”Young Master Bu, hello.”

”Young Master Bu, hello.”

”...”

This was the first time these audiences watched a live stream on their phones, and they all seemed very excited.

One by one, they kept experimenting with various features.

And some went even further; they started giving gifts directly.

After all, those who can afford Juechen are not short of spendthrifts.

It’s worth mentioning that the gift system in Juechen is built by Lu Xiaobu following the format of Earth’s Hu Ya live streams.

”Kongkong gave the host an airplane.”

”Naïve Kid gave the host five Big Blood Bottles.”

”Lu Chen gave the host five hundred likes!”

”...”

”Hey, you guys, giving me gifts? What are you trying to do?”

Lu Xiaobu raised his eyebrows, pretending to be ’angry.’

The barrage went wild.

”Hahaha!”

”666!”

”Brothers, keep the gifts coming. We’ve given enough to those flirtatious female hosts. This is the first time giving to a prodigal son, it’s interesting.”

”Young Master Bu, you also have today, hahaha!”

”Just gifting you, what can you do about it? Come bite me!”

”...”

This time, the gifting frenzy intensified!

All kinds of gifts, like airplanes, trains, excavators, and someone even gave a treasure map worth five thousand yuan.

The scene left everyone around speechless.

Liang Lan was stupefied: ”My god, live streaming is such a money-grab! Young Master just said one sentence and earned over ten thousand yuan? Young Master is indeed far-sighted.”

Wu Qianmin also clicked her tongue in wonder: ”Do they have no other place to spend their money? Is Lu Xiaobu really worth their gifts?”

Zhou Jingyuan smacked her lips: ”Impressive, Lu Xiaobu hit their sweet spot with just one sentence! When they gift normal hosts, they enjoy feeling like big shots. But gifting Lu Xiaobu, they revel in the thrill. It’s like teasing a tiger with meat, extremely exhilarating!”

Li Jin and Zhang Meng exchanged glances — It’s still Young Master who knows how to play!

Looking at the system, Lu Xiaobu saw the spender amount decrease by ten thousand, and he rolled his eyes: ”Alright, hold up for a bit. The theme for today’s live stream is to recruit hosts.”

The barrage was puzzled.

”Recruiting hosts?”

”No way, Young Master Bu, do you still need to recruit? Just randomly pick a few from a nightclub.”

”Yeah, I mean, isn’t live streaming all about that stuff.”

”...”

Lu Xiaobu curled his lips: ”That’s why I say your horizons are limited. You don’t even know what real hosts are like. Today, I’ll take you to find them, right on the streets.”

The barrage booed.

”Pfft, don’t believe it.”

”Don’t believe it +1.”

”+10086.”

”If you were to find them in nightclubs, that would be somewhat interesting, but on the streets? Eighty percent would be sent packing by you.”

”Exactly, not that I don’t believe you! Young Master Bu, just take us to the nightclubs for fun.”

”...”

Watching the booing barrage, Lu Xiaobu scoffed with disdain: ”What’s my live stream title? Not afraid of a rich young master with money, but afraid of a young master who knows how to play. Today, I’ll show you what playing really means.”

Liang Lan covered her face with her hand, as she seemed to see Young Master Bu, who had once turned Night Drunken Passion into the current tavern.

She believed, Young Master Bu was about to go wild again.

Can you guess how Lu Xiaobu will play?

You definitely can’t.
