Billion-Dollar Reward System

Chapter 4: Tipping

"Host, would you like to open the StarCoin treasure chest now?" Opening the chest could provide StarCoins, which Chen Shen desperately needed.

"Sure." He recalled that the system's chests often yielded large amounts of StarCoins, even the lowest-level Basic Treasure Chest had a seventy to eighty percent chance of yielding the highest amount.

Given that the chance was quite high, even slightly lucky individuals could get the maximum amount.

Chen Shen smiled, saying, "I've always had bad luck. Getting 8888 StarCoins is already good; I was hoping not to get 88."

Growing up unlucky, he appreciated this outcome.

Now, Chen Shen had nearly twenty thousand StarCoins. He selected a small stream with only a few hundred thousand viewers from the system recommendations.

This stream seemed new, with an unnamed masked swordsman as the cover image. The swordsman looked lean and mysterious, holding a rusty sword.

Many men dream of being martial artists in their youth, and Chen Shen was no exception.

Before entering the stream, Chen Shen activated his Black Gold VIP status, which remains bound once activated and can be shown or hidden.

Upon entering the stream, he received welcome messages from fans and moderators. Even the streamer stopped mid-swordplay to greet him.

Contrary to the cold demeanor portrayed in the cover, the swordsman was actually a passionate and spirited young woman. Many female fans called her their "wife."

The stream had few viewers and even fewer tippers. However, the swordsman remained undeterred, teaching fans about swordsmanship and showing them the sights of her world during breaks.

The swordsman's name was Feng Buluo, from a martial arts world. Her master, an anonymous swordsman, named her after mastering a new technique.

Feng Buluo's language resembled ancient Chinese but had distinct differences. Chen Shen adjusted the translation settings to convert it to modern language.

It was amusing to hear a traditional swordsman speak fluent Mandarin.

"I'm now on a boat heading to Luojing, the capital of our empire. I heard the first-class passenger boats have many delicious treats, so I bought the most expensive ticket. Let me show you around."

Feng Buluo, dressed simply but adorned with gold and silver, sampled various foods and shared her reviews with fans.

"This is a meat and tofu pancake called 'Immortal Returns,' meaning even immortals would come back for more. It's a specialty of Jianghuan and indeed very tasty!"

"Waiter, please bring me five more!"

Chen Shen, who had just finished eating, found himself hungry again watching her.
