Picking Up Fragments

"It seems like it's still easy to make money with the boss," Jiang Siming joked with a smile.

Principal Wang laughed and said, "You're the number one streamer on Shark, raking in prize money and ad revenue. How could you still care about this little bit of money?"

"Of course I care. You, Principal Wang, come from a prestigious background, so you can't understand what it's like for those of us who grew up poor. Even now that I have money, I don't dare to spend it recklessly—I've gotten used to being frugal."

"You talk like I'm some kind of aristocrat. Old Jiang, don't flatter me," Principal Wang replied, having also switched to calling him 'Old Jiang' repeatedly.

"No wonder you're a world champion. Even with us playing poorly, we can still win a chicken dinner with Ming God," Lin Dog said, satisfied after winning the game.

Cheng He laughed and said, "Reba also loves playing this game, but she's never won a chicken dinner. Haha, next time she's filming, I'll have Ming God take her."

Before Jiang Siming could respond to this suggestion, his viewers unexpectedly rejected the idea.

"No, don't let my goddess get close to him!"

"Exactly! He's already charmed older women and Tuantuan. What if Reba comes and gets charmed too?"

"Yeah, yeah, Ming God is not allowed near Reba!"

"Although I trust that Reba wouldn't fall for Ming God, it's better to be safe."

"Ming God, don't even think about touching my wife!"

...

Seeing the comments in the chat, Jiang Siming was speechless, feeling a headache.

These guys are clearly slandering a young, talented, pure boy like me!

After playing three more rounds with the trio, all of which ended in chicken dinners, Principal Wang felt embarrassed to trouble Jiang Siming further. He, Cheng He, and Lin Dog decided to leave.

Before leaving, Cheng He and Lin Dog had already become close brothers with Jiang Siming. They even created Shark TV alt accounts and gifted him a total of 50,000 yuan before leaving.

That night, Jiang Siming didn't get many fragments—only four in total, and three of them were golden fragments, just some luxury goods, not even a store.

The total value was about two million.

There was only one red fragment, 【Basic Painting】. Jiang Siming had already obtained one before, so now he had completed the set.

This somewhat soothed Jiang Siming's 'sad' heart. Although he had mentally prepared for the drop rates to return to normal, the gap and contrast were still a bit disappointing.

After playing for a while longer, his luck didn't improve. Whether playing solo or in squads, even after switching servers, the drop rate was still frustratingly low.

Only golden fragments appeared, and they were all basic items worth tens of thousands of yuan at most.

This left Jiang Siming feeling annoyed, so after securing one last 33-kill chicken dinner, he decided to call it a day.

Today wasn't a good day for gaming—cultivating immortality was more important. Better to go 'cultivate' with his women~

"Alright, everyone, I'm logging off now," Jiang Siming said as he prepared to end the stream.

As soon as he spoke, his 13 million viewers collectively 'revolted.'

"Leaving already?"

"Exactly, do we have to remind you of the usual rules?"

"Sing a few songs before we let you go."

"Awesome, it's finally time for the music fans' happy hour~"

"Haven't heard Ming God sing in a while, I'm so excited and nostalgic!"

"Even though there are recordings, nothing beats hearing it live. That feeling is the best."

...

The audience chimed in one after another, all asking Jiang Siming to sing.

"If I don't sing one or two songs, I feel like these guys' resentment will ruin my mood when I'm with my girlfriend later tonight..."

Jiang Siming thought to himself.

Forget it, these bigshots are not to be messed with. You can't go against the will of the crowd, so he 'accepted his fate.'

"Alright, alright, I'll sing, okay? I'll start with 'Luzhou Moon.'"

Jiang Siming's helpless gesture of shrugging his shoulders made the audience burst out laughing.

Even the number one streamer on Shark TV had to give in to their demands~

Jiang Siming stood up from his gaming chair and, as usual, walked over to sit at the piano.

It took him just three seconds to transform from a gaming nerd into a piano prince.

Though his casual outfit didn't quite match the mood, if he were to put on a tuxedo, he would probably charm thousands of girls.

His fingers danced effortlessly over the keys, like butterflies fluttering in a graceful dance, accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano.

'Luzhou Moon' had become the hottest song recently, playing everywhere—on the streets, in music stores, cafes, bars, and KTVs. Explore new worlds at empiren/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Hearing Jiang Siming perform it live again, the audience still felt a sense of freshness.

Even though they had listened to the song dozens or even hundreds of times, the intro alone easily captured their hearts.

"Moonlight in Luzhou, casting its glow upon my heart, beneath the moon, you are no longer the same as before..."

As he sang this line, countless viewers hummed along with him. After listening for so many days, they had already learned the lyrics.

After finishing the song, Jiang Siming generously performed 'Riding a Horse' and 'A Lonely Paris' as well, fully satisfying his music-loving fans.

Gifts poured in like snowflakes, as if adding a snowy background to Jiang Siming's singing environment.

Even after the three songs were done, the audience still wasn't satisfied and wanted to hear more.

Dozens of high-ranking supporters teamed up, showering Jiang Siming with gifts, just to make him sing one more song.

Normally, Jiang Siming wouldn't agree to such requests, even for lavish gifts.

But when the Shark TV emperor 【Shark丶Xuan】 also asked to hear another song, Jiang Siming immediately agreed.

Not for any other reason, but because he was planning to visit Sister Xuan later for some 'cultivation!'

He had to earn some favor, after all, hehe.

"Alright, alright, you guys win. I'll sing you a new song, but after that, you'll let me go, right?"

"Oh my! Did he write a new song again?"

"Is Ming God writing songs even while competing?"

"Alright, leave the new song, and you can go immediately!"

"I need to tell my friends! Ming God has released a new song!"

...

The audience stopped trying to hold Jiang Siming back. With a new song in store, their appetites were finally satisfied.

"You guys are something else. If you keep pushing me like this, I'll end up being forced into the Chinese music scene as a singer," Jiang Siming covered his face with a bitter smile.

The audience, on the other hand, laughed heartily, with many expressing their excitement at the idea of Jiang Siming officially debuting as a singer.

After adjusting his posture, Jiang Siming smiled at the camera and said, "Today's song is a lighthearted love song, dedicated to someone who asked me to keep singing."

With that, Jiang Siming playfully winked at the camera.

With a face like his, when Jiang Siming suddenly gave a flirty look straight at the camera, no girl could resist.

In an instant, countless girls clutching their phones or computers felt their hearts race, their faces blush, and their bodies heat up.

Even Zhao Xuan, who had already been intimate with Jiang Siming, was at home feeling the same way.

Just thinking about him coming over to sleep later made her feel... unclean again after just taking a shower.

Zhao Xuan, of course, knew that Jiang Siming's remark was about her. She had just privately messaged him, and he immediately agreed.

Taking off her dirty underwear, Zhao Xuan didn't bother looking for a new pair.

"Forget it, he's coming over soon anyway, no need to wear anything~" Zhao Xuan thought, closing her legs even tighter.
