……
"Living is so tiring!"
A faint, pale sigh could be heard amidst the silence.
Headache, chest tightness, as if something was pressing down on my chest, and icy liquid rushed into my nose and throat.
The feeling of suffocation gripped everything.
Then, he was plunged into complete darkness.
……
"what!"
He suddenly opened his eyes to a yellowish ceiling and felt a splitting headache.
I could faintly hear conversations nearby.
"Okay, thank you, officer."
A familiar voice came from behind.
It's Chen Lin, his agent.
Wait, agent...
In an instant, memories surged like a tidal wave.
During my senior year internship, my father developed cardiovascular disease and underwent heart bypass surgery, which would cost at least 300,000 yuan.
In order to make quick money, he chose to enter the currently booming live streaming industry.
Standing at 1.82 meters tall and possessing a fairly handsome appearance, he smoothly joined Miracle Media and became a male anchor for a group broadcast.
Group streaming refers to a live stream where several male streamers work together, each using their own skills to attract viewers to give them virtual gifts.
Unfortunately, he only has good looks but no talent; his singing is mediocre, and his dancing is clumsy.
Most importantly, he didn't know how to flatter, and he didn't have the favor of the top female fan. For four whole months, he couldn't even afford to eat, let alone make money.
When it rains, it pours; and when misfortune strikes, the rope breaks at its thinnest point.
My father's surgery fees are nowhere to be found, and then I received a notice from my company that I've been replaced.
At that moment, he felt dizzy and resented that after studying for so many years, he was powerless to help when something happened at home.
Incompetence, regret, helplessness...
Under immense pressure, he chose to jump into the river...
Although he was eventually rescued, he didn't die.
But from then on, he saw through the live streaming industry and chose to find a sales job honestly.
My father eventually underwent surgery, which was funded by his family selling their house and asking around for help.
Since then, his family's fortunes have declined, and until his rebirth, they were still living in a rented house.
Years later, the memory of his mother kneeling before relatives still haunts him in his sleep.
At thirty, he faced industry restructuring and had to change careers again. It was no different from selling houses to selling other products.
He was in his forties, had accomplished nothing, had occasional one-night stands, and was never married.
Men are afraid to enter the wrong line, women are afraid to marry the wrong man.
Looking back, if I hadn't attempted suicide back then, and if I had been stronger and stayed in the live streaming industry, would the outcome have been better?
he does not know……
But now, the world seems to have played a cruel joke on him.
Reborn
"Wait a minute? Did I forget something?"
"system?"
He vaguely remembered the cold, mechanical voice before he lost consciousness.
A semi-transparent information panel appeared before my eyes.
Name: Shen Mo
Age: 22
[Physical condition: 4 (Long-term malnutrition, a weak and unassuming type)]
[Mental State: 3 (Depressed, Sleeping Kogoro)]
[Charm: 6 (Decent, decadent style)]
[Skills: Dance 1 (severely uncoordinated), Singing 3 (barely passable, disliked at karaoke)]
Damn it!
What kind of divine attributes are these!
[Newcomer Gift Pack x1, open now?]
"Open!"
Shen Mo was overjoyed.
[Congratulations, host! You have gained 1 skill imprint opportunity and 10 attribute points.]
[The "Spend to Get Stronger System": What's the point of making money? To spend it! The amount the host spends is directly converted into points proportionally. The more you spend, the stronger you become, and the more you spend, the more you have. What are you waiting for? Take out your money and spend it!]
[Skill Imprint: Randomly imprints one skill from the target.]
This frail, suave man.
What on earth was I doing in college?!
A "go all in" mentality.
In my past life, I overworked myself and suffered greatly from poor health.
hum...
A warm current flowed in, and my previously weak and powerless body instantly felt light and refreshed.
The bones emitted a faint "crackling" sound, not from pain, but from a sense of relaxation and strength.
Beneath the previously somewhat loose T-shirt, the outline of his muscles became visibly clear and taut. Although it was far from exaggerated, the solid and powerful feeling was something he had never experienced in his two lifetimes.
The fatigue and weakness vanished, and his energy was almost overflowing. He subconsciously clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and he felt an unprecedented sense of power.
[Constitution: 14 (Full of energy, feels like he could kill a bull with one punch)]
"Cool!"
In his previous life, he was busy with work and sales, which exposed him to many industries. But when it came to actually thinking of a way to make money, he couldn't think of one for the time being.
Sports lottery?
I've never bought any myself; there's no such thing as a free lunch.
*Smack!* You deserve to be poor to death.
Stock trading!
I did dabble in it for a while in my previous life, but it was all just a superficial attempt. I would give up at the slightest sign of trouble.
There's no way! Poor people don't dare to gamble.
I vaguely remember a few stocks.
However, at this point in time, my father needs a large sum of money for surgery, and stock trading requires even more capital.
"Next, it's time to make money!"
When you're young, you don't realize how precious opportunities are.
Having memories of the future, he naturally knew how popular live streaming would become.
Shanghai has even included qualified self-media bloggers in its talent introduction criteria.
Having unexpectedly become one of the first to try something new, I naturally want to seize the opportunity.
As his physical condition improved, the previously faint voice became clear.
"We will definitely pay attention, and we will urge him to come for follow-up psychological counseling on time."
"Well, it's good that everyone's alright. Young man, try to think positively."
Footsteps approached, and a tired yet refined face came into view—it was Chen Lin.
Everyone in the company calls her Sister Lin. She's 27 years old and has a typical mature and sophisticated aura.
If she looked like that, she'd definitely go viral on live stream.
"Awake?" Chen Lin pulled up a chair and sat down by the bed, looking at him with a slight frown.
"How are you feeling?"
"fine……"
"Sister Lin, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
"What's the trouble?" Chen Lin sighed. "Your health is your own responsibility, don't overdo it. I'll talk to the company and get you a few days of sick leave so you can rest properly."
He froze for a moment.
At the company, Chen Lin always maintained a professional demeanor, and she showed no mercy to streamers who breached their contracts.
In those four months, he witnessed no fewer than ten.
But now... no, this style of art is wrong!
After thinking about it, it makes sense.
First, calm yourself down, then go back and prepare the termination agreement.
Both face and substance are gained, and no one holds a grudge against anyone else.
"Sister Lin, what's going on at the company..."
"company?"
"Don't worry, it hasn't come to that yet. I know a little about your family situation. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can always find a way to make money, but if you're gone, you really have nothing left."
Her tone was sincere.
If Shen Mo hadn't already experienced it once, he naturally wouldn't have imagined that the seemingly amiable agent in front of him had already made up his mind to give up on him.
He nodded.
"knew!"
"The boss takes this matter very seriously. I'll try to help you with your future arrangements."
"You should get some rest."
After saying that, Chen Lin got up and was about to leave.
She has a lot of live streamers under her, and she's very busy.
"Sister Lin..."
"Um?"
Chen Lin turned around.
"Thanks!"
Shen Mo expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
From a professional standpoint, the other party's choice was not wrong.
On the contrary, when Chen Lin resigned in her previous life, she even persuaded her boss to compensate her with a month's salary, which was already quite generous.
After all, he was at best just a trainee.
Hearing Shen Mo's words, Chen Lin observed him carefully and smiled after confirming that he was in good condition.
"You're one of my anchors, that's only right."
The ward fell silent.
A short while later, two doctors came in, examined him, gave him a brief explanation, and then he was discharged.
I had just been discharged from the hospital when my phone "dinged".
「【建设银行】您帐户XXXX于11月2日08:31存入3000元,可用余额3000元。」
Shen Mo was puzzled, and just as he was wondering, his mother called.
My heart skipped a beat.
"mom?"
"Son, did something happen to you outside?"
My mother's tired voice came through the phone.
His nose suddenly stung with tears.
Whether in this life or the next, my mother has always worried herself sick for this family.
He was the only son in his family and was expected to achieve great things, but he struggled in society and lived a muddled life.
He's in his forties, hasn't made any money, and hasn't even been able to bring a wife home.
"It's alright! How's Dad now?"
He quickly calmed himself down so as not to worry his mother.
Don't lie to me!
"It's because your father and I have dragged you down. I know you must have run into trouble when you sent money this time, with both small and large sums of money."
"You've always been a thoughtful child. If you're not having a good time out there, come back. Don't force yourself to stay."
"Okay! Don't worry, I'm really fine. I'm not talking to you anymore, I need to go to dance practice."
"Okay, don't go hungry, remember to eat."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Mo wiped his eyes with his sleeve, leaving two tear streaks.
Swipe your card to enter the subway.
Take out your phone and swipe to your favorite streamer's live stream.
"A piece of clothing is a hug that a mother in the north stuffs into her children's suitcases, or the moonlight that a traveler far from home hides at the subway entrance. We are always chasing dreams, but we forget that the most luxurious thing in the world is actually warmth..."
"Go take the photos yourself if you need them..."

A series of actions were taken: down jacket, thermal underwear, shoes, gloves...
[The host has spent 2000 yuan, which can be exchanged for 2 skill points. Do you wish to exchange?]
"exchange!"
[Congratulations, host! You have gained 2 skill points.]
Without hesitation, I added it to my dance skills.
As for copying songs, without the support of resources, even if you copy a wildly popular song, you might not succeed!
All things considered, they took advantage of the short video and live streaming trend.
Make quick money by doing group live streaming!
Don't be too unconventional in your thinking when choosing this route.
Making money by leveraging the limited information gaps in one's memory to defy fate and change one's destiny.
After thinking it over, he took out his phone and started seriously studying the stock market.
Miracle Media.
In just one year, this MCN expanded from 300 square meters to 2800 square meters on a single floor by relying on group broadcasts.
As soon as I entered the company, I was immediately overwhelmed by the noise.
"Excuse me, please make way..."
"Does anyone have concealer? I'd like to borrow it..."
"Jiale, rehearsal room number two is empty. We only have twenty minutes left. The Duke and the others start at 9:30..."
"Brother Fei, Feifei used a leave slip today, so will you fill in for her at tonight's show..."
Seeing the familiar scene again filled him with sorrow.
The heroes of this world are as numerous as carp crossing a river. Even the most outstanding people find it difficult to take a single step. We, the fish eyes, even if we cannot leap over the dragon gate, must ride the wind and waves and go against the current.
Shen Mo arrived at the office area, intending to try and persuade Sister Lin again.
Before I had taken two steps, I saw Chen Lin walk into the boss's office.
Then, a roar came from the boss's office.
"Do it or lose money and get out!"
