Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Live Streaming Without Selling Products is Not as Good as Visiting Stores to be a Foodie

"Just for 199, just for 199, 199, you won’t be cheated, 199, you won’t be disappointed, K Corporation’s chocolate launcher, just for 199 credit points, paired with .55 caliber chocolate bullets, will make any ordinary ghost retreat at once! And if you don’t use them all up, you can snack on them too, economical and practical..."

Leon from the Black Thorn Ghost Hunting Agency was carrying out his daily live-streaming sales, unlike Mr. Dunn Simoni, the star CEO responsible for creating brand effect and specializing in various high-profile and difficult requests. As a subordinate employee, he was better at taking on various commercial commissions.

From cling wrap to deep fryers, from chocolate to toy guns, he took on any ghost-related merchandise and had gained a bit of fame as a streamer who could sell anything.

Because his price was much lower than Dunn’s, despite his requirements to live-stream and include product placement, he still had a good number of clients—those not so wealthy or those who preferred to not appear wealthy—entrusting him with ghost-catching jobs.

Having spouted a mouthful of sizzling ad copy, Leon spun the toy gun in his hand with a flourish, producing a lovely gunflower. The chocolate bullets followed the trigger pull, promptly staggering a hovering ghost spirit with a shot.

The ghost acted as if it were a naughty child recklessly tempting fate until it suddenly got smacked by someone done with its antics, screeching chaotically as it flew away from Leon, and then...

With a splat, it smacked right onto the cling film.

"Quality cling film aims to lock in moisture and nutrients. High polymer molecules can greatly inhibit bacterial growth while being high temperature resistant and stretchable. Even if you pop it in an air fryer, there won’t be any deformation or toxic substances. Perfect for everyday use or for blocking ghosts, it’s an excellent choice for you. Buy now and enjoy a buy three, get one free deal; buying it is making money!"

While Leon narrated the ads with prosodic emphasis, his hands were swiftly rolling up the ghost with the cling film reel, creating a ’ghost roll’ in no time.

But he didn’t proceed to toss it into an air fryer like Dunn would have done; instead, he shouted towards his live audience:

"One low-level earth-bound spirit up for grabs, priced at twenty thousand credit points. Old rules apply—I’m starting a reward raffle. If you want in, join the raffle. Don’t crowd if you’re not buying, or else you might end up paying me to catch it later!"

As he spoke, Leon skillfully set up a live-stream raffle. With viewers flooding in, a winner was quickly announced.

"Okay, our winner this time is ’Let me...’ ahem, could the viewer please use a name that humans can read next time? Anyway, the winning viewer, please send your contact and transaction details via the site’s internal mail to the streamer’s personal account within three days..."

Following the final sale segment, Leon ended the stream, hoisted the cling-filmed ghost and waited for the site’s messages while notifying the client of this successful hunt.

The moment the client’s silhouette appeared on the terminal screen, Leon cut to the chase without any pleasantries:

"Mr. Lars, your commission has been completed. When will you send the remaining payment?"

"Hmm, I saw it. The transfer will be made now." Mr. Lars, appearing on the screen, didn’t fuss about Leon’s rudeness. Soon after, Leon received a transfer notification. After confirming the correct amount, he bid farewell to this purchasing executive, who for some unknown reason could afford a Rhein River apartment, and then headed toward the nearby Loken water tank office.

Hmm, that winning viewer’s transaction method was to directly exchange at a store affiliated with the Loken water tank.

Such situations weren’t unusual. In fact, in previous auctions, it was mostly those large and medium-sized corporations that bought ghosts.

Although these companies conducted their own ghost-catching activities, they also did not mind buying captured specimens to take back for research.

In fact, these large corporations had more or less found out that the five identities were all bought by Feng Xue. Regardless of whether the stories were true or false, the existence of "ghosts" was a reality that couldn’t be ignored, whether their true nature was the so-called quantum ghosts, the souls of the dead, or electronic viruses. For these enterprises, they were a necessity to study.

Even if they had no plans to develop products based on these beings or to create value, they at least needed to ensure that they were not disrupted by their existence.

...

Feng Xue was clearly not interested in money; he was just very curious about what kind of things these cyber companies could develop based on the Poisonous Insect Body.

Worth mentioning is that his currently managed identities had already acquired at least two tags. Based on his experience, as long as he maintained this pace, in a month’s time at most, he would likely be able to truly condense a Kaidan.

However, considering the world’s uniqueness, he couldn’t completely apply his experience. The fundamental reason laid in the different speeds of information flow.

In ancient worlds like martial arts, information spread slowly. The dissemination of a legend often took months, or even a year or two without a reliable transmission mechanism.

But conversely, in such a world, information held its value well. Limited by its spread, a storyteller could repeat the same story over and over for years, meaning that as long as a relatively hot topic was constructed, one could wait for it to morph into a Kaidan.

But not so in this world, where the rate of information metabolism was so rapid that information itself hardly retained value. An urban legend could go from viral to cooled down in just a few days and, without continuous stimulants, even a nationwide sensation could fade away after just over a month.

Therefore, creating a Kaidan in this world was all about doing it in one fell swoop, constantly shaping influence and heightening attention, giving the public wave after wave of informational impacts. Only by squeezing out all the heat in a very short time could one quickly form a Kaidan entry.

The downside to this approach was that after a Kaidan formed, it would weaken quickly and become a burden that required sustenance.

But as long as he could gamble the Kaidan entries Feng Xue wanted, it was definitely worth the cost, even if that meant siphoning profits from other entries to maintain it.

While pondering these problems, Feng Xue seamlessly carried the "ghost" to the Loken water tank office, his hands never stopping.

Though he attracted quite a bit of attention along the way, his face had earned some recognition by now. Far from causing too much trouble, his notoriety even helped his tags earn a decent amount.

"Ding-dong..."

The unadorned notification sound of an incoming message emanated from the terminal but didn’t immediately pop up with the message content, alerting Feng Xue that it wasn’t something meant for this identity to see. He promptly took the elevator down to a surveillance-free zone and smoothly switched identities before opening the message signed "Constantine Heavy Industry."

And to his surprise, the content of the message turned out to be...

"Product endorsement?"
