Chapter 49: I have a great treasure here, do you want it?

Appearing on camera was out of the question; he wasn't a content creator, and traffic wouldn't be of much use to him. On the contrary, being associated with the "Li Shiya" persona created by Chuan Mei would only make him a subject of gossip among netizens.

Besides, even if he could become famous, he had no desire to make money that way. How was that any different from being a beast of burden?

He already had a clear plan for his future: use the daily online shopping pop-up to improve himself while accumulating wealth.

Self-improvement primarily included physical fitness, health status, skill mastery, and so on. Wealth accumulation would either rely on liquidating luxury goods from the shopping pop-up or selling highly effective daily necessities to the God of Wealth.

The two paths were not mutually exclusive; they could run in parallel. In just over ten days, he already had more than 200,000 yuan in his account, and he had even received a Nautilus shell from the Great Emperor Ru Yan.

The speed of wealth accumulation was already quite impressive. Just considering the cash on hand, it was more than most people earned in a year, let alone if he happened to swipe something worth millions in the future, like Changbai Mountain ginseng. If that happened, wouldn't selling it to Miss Yuan be a matter of minutes?

At the very least, if he swiped a "little blue pill," he could buy it and sell it to some wealthy middle-aged old fogey. In short, there were too many ways to make money.

He would develop himself at school until graduation, then decide his future direction based on his abilities at the time, striving to go to Xuanwu Gate to settle scores with the Great Emperor Ru Yan as soon as possible.

Currently, he had two goals: self-improvement and achieving financial freedom, and then simply waiting to enjoy life.

As for dating, marriage, and children—he was only in his early twenties. He had to live it up for a few more years; he wasn't considering that for now.

In the evening, Chuan Mei was streaming. He watched for a while before washing up and heading to bed. After all, since he wasn't appearing on camera, what was the point of sitting down there?

At 11:30 PM, Chuan Mei ended her stream, began removing her makeup, changed her clothes, and concluded her day as Li Shiya.

"Lao Mo, it's such a pity you didn't show your face today. My stream peaked at nearly 20,000 people today, mostly because of the clip of you coming back. So many people were clamoring for you to come out."

Chuan Mei took off her floral camisole dress and removed her wig. Transforming from Li Shiyan back into Li Chuan, he looked much more normal.

It wasn't that the Li Shiya look was abnormal, but this was a male dormitory. It would be very strange for a beautiful woman to appear in the middle of the night.

Even though they knew it was a guy, they couldn't help but think, *How great would it be if this were a girl?* and then inappropriate images would inevitably flash through their minds.

But as soon as they realized this guy was actually a man, they would immediately condemn themselves: *That's disgusting.* It was a very contradictory feeling.

Hearing this, Lin Mo leaned against the headboard, rolled his eyes at Chuan Mei standing on the floor, and spat, "Pah! You know how to save face, but do you think I don't?

I didn't expect that while you're timid in real life, you're incredibly provocative online.

Not only do you do co-streams and tease girls, but you even get teased by male streamers. The most insane part is that in a room full of men, they actually enjoy watching a man tease another man. It's ridiculous. I have to say, your fans are just as perverted as you are!"

As he spoke, Lin Mo put down his phone and sat up straight, expressing his utter lack of understanding.

"Hey, don't be so narrow-minded. Those are all my beloved friends and brothers. Without them, how would I make money!"

After applying a face mask, Chuan Mei replied.

"You're looking more and more like Li Shiya now, even wearing a face mask," Lin Mo's mouth twitched in disgust.

In the past, they were all rough men; who ever wore a face mask? Now he had become a "refined boy."

"Nonsense. Don't you know makeup is bad for the skin? I have to treat myself well. I need to find a wife in the future."

"Haven't you already mastered the 'disappearing brother' technique? What do you need a wife for? If you're really that capable, just face the mirror!" Lin Mo's mouth was like it was coated in poison as he unleashed a barrage of insults.

Chuan Mei: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"You bastard, believe it or not, I'll sleep in your bed tonight!"

With that, he began scrambling toward Lin Mo's bed.

"Holy crap! Get away! Go back to being Li Shiya!" Lin Mo hurriedly kicked out with his feet. This was unacceptable!

He, Mr. Lin, was a pure man. How could he let another man climb into his bed in the middle of the night?

"Fine, just you wait, I'll go put on my makeup right now!"

"Chuanzi, Chuanzi, calm down! You had a lot of people watching your stream just now. I'm kneeling to you, okay?" Lin Mo was startled and apologized profusely. He did not want to "fence" in bed!

Seeing him beg for mercy, Chuan Mei finally gave a cold snort and returned to his own bed.

"Lao Mo, you could say my account has taken off, but I'm feeling a bit anxious about school starting soon. What if everyone finds out? Then I..."

Lying in bed, Chuan Mei felt somewhat unsettled.

Although his secret had been discovered by his roommate today, the upside was that his follower count was growing incredibly fast. In just one day, it had increased by tens of thousands and was still rising rapidly.

"That depends on you. If you don't want others to know, Director Wang and I will definitely keep your secret. Besides, I don't think there's anything shameful about it. Big influencers make so much money. Most of those people talking trash are just jealous. There are so many cross-dressing bloggers online, even some with tens of millions of followers. What are you afraid of?" Lin Mo said dismissively.

He took such things lightly, especially after his internship. As long as you have money in your hand and it's earned legally, who would look down on you?

"True. Forget it, I won't think about it now. It's only the last year anyway. If I really can't stand it, I'll move out once recruitment starts. My account is finally showing signs of going viral; I can't give it up."

Chuan Mei made up his mind. Primarily, once an account has many followers, the money comes in very fast, even though his current account already had decent monetization potential.

He had also asked classmates who went out for internships about their income. The good ones made about 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, while the bad ones made only one or two thousand. It couldn't compare to what he had now.

"Genshin Impact, start! Lao Mo, you in?"

Lin Mo: "Is your degeneracy also beneficial?"

"You think I'm Yuan Shao?"

"No, you are a man of many layers of degeneracy, a man among the degenerate, known to all as... a piece of trash!"

Chuan Mei:...

What was so fun about a gacha game? Nowadays, when it came to Genshin, he only watched Miss Yuan; she was the only true god. Fatty Dong was just a rookie in front of her.

Time quickly reached midnight. In university, this was still early; it was far from bedtime.

As for Lin Mo, he pulled down the curtain of his bunk, creating a small private space that provided both light blocking and protection from mosquitoes.

Soon, today's shopping pop-up refreshed.

[Gatling Gun with Blue Flames, 6000 rounds; ￥7.45]

[Secondary Development; Jog for thirty minutes, grow 0.1 cm taller; ￥1.38]

[Sunscreen Shorts; Gospel for crossdressers, Barrett's disappearance cream, perform the 'disappearing brother' technique; ￥8.3]

[A bowl of Old Beijing Douzhir (sour and pungent), truly authentic; ￥5.8]

Lin Mo:...

Incredible. Today's items truly opened his eyes.

"Chuan Mei, I've got a real treasure here. You want it?"

"What is it?"

Hearing this, Chuan Mei poked his head out from the bunk diagonally opposite.

"I've got some cream here that can make the Barrett disappear completely. Want to try it? Since you can't use it anyway, might as well go all the way..."

Before he could finish, a roll of toilet paper flew toward him.

"Get lost!"

Lin Mo:...
