Lin Feng sat at the bridgehead, observing that after numerous sales, only sporadic customers now approached to buy phones.
He scratched his head, wondering if he should still exchange for a Vision given this situation. It seemed clear that he needed to explore alternative revenue streams.
"System, can we introduce more paid games?" Lin Feng queried the system, considering it could potentially generate passive income.
"No, you can only add one game every seven days!" The system's icy response instantly doused Lin Feng's enthusiasm like a bucket of cold water.
It made sense; frequently adding new games would resemble exploiting customers, akin to harvesting crops too hastily. A steady and sustainable approach was preferable.
"However, you can implement a live-streaming video platform!" The system chimed in again, clearly aware that such platforms were far more lucrative than individual games.
"Hmm... That's not a bad idea. Influencers make so much money from these platforms. As the platform provider, our earnings would undoubtedly be even higher, ha ha ha..." Lin Feng burst out laughing, already envisioning himself lounging in Eula's embrace while counting Mora.
"Five million Mora, please pay!" The system's voice echoed once more, sending a chill down Lin Feng's spine.
"Five million Mora? Are you kidding me, System? Is your streaming platform made of gold or silver? Do you take me for a fool?" Lin Feng exclaimed angrily, feeling utterly outraged as his Mora reserves were nearly depleted by this exorbitant demand.
Lin Feng was infuriated; his Mora reserves were almost depleted, and yet the system dared to make such an outrageous demand!
"It's not easy running these robberies! Besides, offering this feature consumes significant resources!" The system lamented, though in reality, it only cost 1,000 Mora for electricity.
"Moreover, with greater investment comes higher returns. Just imagine, once Diluc starts watching live streams and splurges extravagantly, we'll quickly recoup our costs." The system began persuading Lin Feng, finding him truly too stingy.
After hesitating momentarily, Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Put it up!"
Instantly, every smartphone received a notification from the app store:
"MiHoYo Live Streaming now available! Share your life through videos or stream your passions to connect with like-minded individuals. Whatever you want to see, find it all in our live streams!"
Klee, engrossed in studying bombs, jumped at the sound of this notification, nearly exploding the confinement room.
"What is this? How dare something scare Klee, hmph!" Fuming, she swiftly navigated her device and discovered the newly mentioned application.
"Connect with like-minded individuals, hmm... Maybe there are others who also love bombs and blowing up fish!" Klee giggled excitedly, gazing at her recently perfected Jumpy Dumpty bomb.
Klee decided to stream it live for everyone to see, hoping they too would fall in love with both fishing and Jumpy Dumpties!
"Ta-da-ta-daaa, Klee's going fish-bombing now. Beep-beep-beep..." She cautiously peeked outside after opening the door. Seeing that Captain Jean wasn't around, she swiftly darted out of the Knights' headquarters.
"Lalala, Klee is free! Firebase Scout Klee, off to bomb some fish." As Klee reached Cider Lake, watching the lively jumping fish, she couldn't resist the urge to toss a bomb.
"No...wait, I need to show everyone first so they'll enjoy fish-bombing like Klee does. Captain Jean said if more people join in, we won't get caught. Or something like that," Klee mused.
She promptly opened MiHoYo Live, finding it empty with no videos or streams yet. The viewers were curious but also apprehensive, waiting for someone brave enough to take the plunge.
Unfazed, Klee followed the instructions and started her livestream. Positioning the camera towards herself, she cheerfully greeted, "Can you all see Klee? I'm the Firebase Scout Klee, alongside my best friend Dodoco, and this here is a Jumpy Dumpty!"
As she introduced herself, Klee held up a red Jumpy Dumpty, nearly as big as her head.
Due to streaming delays, many viewers entered promptly but hadn't seen any visuals yet.
"Wow, so many people! Can you all see Klee?" She gently tapped the screen, looking incredibly adorable.
Paimon responded, "Yes, we can see you! So cute!"
"Thank you, Paimon! Today, I'm here to stream fishing with bombs. Later, I'll share some of my catch with you and Miss Honorary Knight!" Klee said with a smile.
"Thanks, Klee!" Paimon beamed, thrilled about another freebie. Lumine watched her scornfully; even resorting to freeloading from children now?!
User_A: "Klee, there's a crab under your foot - you could catch it for food!"
Seeing this message, Klee hastily waved her hand. "K...Klee doesn't like eating crabs; peeling the shells takes too long."
User_B: "I don't like crabs either, just like Klee!"
"N-n...anyone here who likes fried fish?" Klee asked nervously, stuttering slightly as the viewer count surpassed one thousand.
User_C: "I enjoy fishing, not frying fish"
Feeling disheartened, Klee noticed no one on the screen seemed interested in fried fish. She began contemplating whether she should give up.
Lin Feng was closely monitoring the situation, seeing his top little broadcaster nearly losing hope. Instantly, he gifted a rocket worth 10,000 Mora, knowing this investment would never go to waste.
Another comment appeared: "Don't be sad, Klee! I absolutely love your stream, and I'm also a huge fan of blowing up fish!"
A rocket explosion effect blossomed at the center of the screen, leaving everyone astonished - what was that?
Quickly, viewers found the gift-giving section. Upon seeing the value of the rocket, they were stunned; it equaled the cost of a smartphone, truly insane!
Klee noticed the bomb icon on the screen along with the floating message, instantly breaking into a smile.
"Thank you, Lin Feng-gege! Klee will definitely work hard at blowing up fish!" she exclaimed joyfully before starting to introduce her latest version of Jumpy Dumpty bombs.
As the audience watched, they leaned back instinctively, fearing the explosions might reach them through their screens.
Facing Cider Lake, Klee's eyes sparkled at the sight of swimming fish. The joy of fishing by explosion was incomprehensible to most.
"Klee's new bombs are waterproof, hehe!" she proudly announced. "Today, I'll show you all how to blow up fish—every single one, boom, boom, boom!"
With those words, Klee prepared to toss a bomb into Cider Lake.
Suddenly, catching a glimpse of her phone from the corner of her eye, her hand froze mid-action.
[Captain Jean entered the live stream.]
Klee bowed her head, falling silent as if she had been caught doing something wrong. Then, lifting it again, she looked directly at the phone's camera and said:
"K-k-Klee today is...is here to tell...tell everyone a story about a little girl who loved bombing fish."
"L-long ago, there was a young girl who adored bomb-fishing. H-however, one day, the dreadful Great Devil Captain Jean captured her and locked her in the confinement room."
Jean: "Klee, weren't you supposed to be reading? How did you escape from the confinement room?"

"But Klee is just making friends!" Klee hung her head, looking utterly perplexed.
"Making friends?" As a member of the Knights, Jean pondered for a moment and realized that at Klee's age, having friends was indeed important.
Jean replied, "Alright then, but be careful not to hurt anyone with your bombs!"
Klee secretly rejoiced; Captain Jean didn't explicitly forbid her from bombing fish. This, she interpreted as tacit approval.
After some thought, Jean sent another message, "Oh right, absolutely no bombing fish!"
"Oh..." Klee nodded, appearing visibly disappointed.
"Klee... Klee will perform something else..." She scratched her head, realizing all she knew how to do was bomb fish!
Suddenly, she spotted a Wind Spirit Butterfly and broke into a joyful smile, "Klee will show everyone how to catch Crystalflies instead, da-da-dah..."
With excitement, Klee began running around. Many others also grasped the potential of live streaming, leading to a surge of aspiring streamers.

"I'm a member of Mondstadt's Fishing Association! Watch me catch some fish!" An older gentleman sat with his fishing rod for ages, yet not even a glimpse of a fish appeared.
Had he known Klee had recently bombed the entire lake, he wouldn't have chosen this spot to stream!
"I've trained for two and a half years at Mondstadt's Dance and Music Association. I can sing, dance, rap, and play basketball. My name is Ji Taimei, and now, let me showcase my talents: singing, rapping while dribbling a basketball!"
A rather effeminate man, clad in overalls, began performing before the camera. As he dribbled the ball, his overalls slipped down, fully displaying his 'charms.'
"Jee-jee-jee... Chicken, you're too beautiful, bu-bu..."
With the catchy beat combined with Ji Taimei's captivating performance, viewers quickly became fans. Due to his surname "Ji," they affectionately called him Ji-ge (Brother Ji).
"Hello everyone, I'm Old Eighth. Having lost my bet with Old Sixth last time, this live stream is to fulfill my promise and show Mondstadt that my word is gold!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a spoonful of excrement and prepared to put it into his mouth...
[Your livestream has been banned. Please adhere to streaming guidelines. For details, refer to MiHoYo's Live Streaming Rules!]
Just as viewers anticipated watching Old Eighth consume the waste, the screen abruptly turned black, displaying a message indicating the stream had been banned.
"WTF, I won't be able to eat for a month now!"
"This Old Eighth is seriously hardcore. Oh man, I'm gonna puke!"
"Respect to Old Eighth, but I don't think I can ever talk to him again without picturing this, ha ha..."
"Bros, can't handle it anymore, heading to the bathroom!"
"Woah, did you get hungry watching him eat?"
"Nope, just laughed so hard I almost spat out what he was eating."
***
Although the live stream had ended, the fervent discussions continued among the viewers.
Lin Feng felt his stomach churning uncontrollably. If the system was going to censor it, why make me watch?! Damn Old Eighth, he's everywhere - truly terrifying.
In the end, Old Eighth did eat the food, but only Lin Feng witnessed it. Well...and probably the System too! Wait, no, the System doesn't count as a person!
"Host, why do I feel like you're insulting me?" the System queried with confusion.
"No, not at all! You're the epitome of intelligence; how could I dare insult you?!" Lin Feng hastily denied, maintaining a straight face without batting an eyelid. Although, truth be told, his heart skipped a beat - just a little, lest he'd lose consciousness entirely.
"You're right, Host. This system is indeed highly intelligent. The term 'great intellect' suits me perfectly!" the System responded cheerfully, nearly causing Lin Feng to burst out laughing...
Klee, chasing after a Crystalfly, arrived at Dawn Winery.
"Haha, gotcha, Klee!" She leaped and finally caught the elusive creature that had flown several kilometers away from her.
However, in the process, she accidentally knocked over multiple grapevines, tumbling onto the ground.
"Klee, are you okay?!" Amber exclaimed.
"Klee, be more careful!" Bennett chimed in.
The outpouring of concern warmed Klee's heart. Just as her mom had always said, there are many kind-hearted big brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties in this world...
Klee gazed at the toppled grapevines, unsure of what to do next.
"In future, watch your step. Are you alright?" asked a red-haired man dressed in black, his demeanor elegant yet voice gentle. Despite his warm words, his expression remained cold, giving off an unfriendly aura.
"Thank you, I'm fine!" Klee shook her head, looking genuinely remorseful, and awaited reprimand with her head bowed.
As soon as viewers spotted Diluc, the chat erupted into frenzy.
"Diluc, the wealthiest nobleman in Mondstadt!"
"I didn't realize he was so gentle; his icy expression made me think he'd be quite stern."
"The owner of Dawn Winery - he looks incredibly handsome! Am I falling in love?"
"Hold on, getting all worked up from just one glance?"
While some expressed admiration, others naturally felt resistant—such contrasting opinions were inevitable.
Trembling slightly, Klee made her way back to Mondstadt with Diluc following closely behind. She began mentally preparing herself to explain the situation to Captain Jean, convinced this grown-up would surely lodge a complaint.
Upon reaching the gates of Mondstadt, Diluc gently said, "Be more careful next time. Now go on home!"
With that, Diluc headed towards Dawn Winery. Watching him depart, Klee murmured to herself:
"Strange adult; he never smiles. But since he didn't report me, I guess he's a good person too!"
Klee safely returned to the Knights' headquarters, ready to resume her bomb experiments. Suddenly, her phone beeped with a notification. Opening it, she saw the message:
"You have 5,500 Mora available for withdrawal. Would you like to withdraw?"
Confused, Klee looked at her phone, wondering why she had Mora when she hadn't even successfully caught any fish to sell? After examining the notification further, she realized someone had sent her gifts. Grinning, she promptly pointed at the phone and exclaimed, "Withdraw!"
"Please set up your withdrawal password," another notification from the phone prompted.
"My password is Dodoco!" Klee promptly used her voice as the key.
The system responded with yet another message:
"Password setup successful. Please enter withdrawal password to proceed!"
"Dodoco!" Klee shouted at her phone.
As soon as she finished, Mora began pouring out of it. Having never seen so much Mora before, Klee was instantly stunned.
She fished out the fifty Mora from her pocket and then gazed at the pile accumulating on the floor, feeling incredibly elated. Now, she would have ample funds to purchase bomb-making materials.
After numerous explorations, everyone had essentially figured out how MiHoYo's streaming app worked. Not only could they live stream, but also upload pre-recorded videos.
"Hurry, come see! Old Eighth eating..." This clip by RandomUserA quickly got flagged for violating guidelines.
"I raise my banner for Ji-ge, Ji-ge's twig is 666!"
"Klee is so adorable, why won't they let her blow up fish? Aaaaaah..."
