No Money to Build a Mech? No Worries, I Will Help

"Shocking! Rising superstar Zhou Chuchu was spotted having a secret meeting with a suspected scammer at a villa. Is this true or not? We hope the two goddesses can respond." In just a few minutes, this super eye-catching hot topic quickly pushed aside other trending topics and made its way to the top ten headlines, causing a heated discussion among netizens. Netizens speculated about what kind of scumbag could deceive two A-list national goddesses, not only swindling their fortunes but also exposing their secret meetings. Zhou Chuchu: Xiao Yuyao, I'm sorry. I don't have much money left. This is all I can give you. I hope you won't be disappointed. Yang Mimi: You really are a gold digger. You spent all the money from my last pay so quickly. Well, all my money is here. Take it. Suddenly, Xiao Yuyao had a thought, and a cold light flashed. A dark-colored hilt appeared in his hand, with a faint blue light shining at the center of the hilt, seemingly an energy cube for storing power. Buzz. The hilt made a buzzing sound, and a bright white energy beam formed at the front end, condensing into a sword-like shape under everyone's gaze. The unstable slight fluctuations of the beam quickly stabilized, forming a unique lightsaber with a freely adjustable form. It was about one meter long with a 10-centimeter-wide blade of light, and its power was yet to be determined. Xiao Yuyao tilted his head to look at the lightsaber, something extremely cool that only appeared in science fiction movies and was possessed by the protagonist. He lightly swung it, a smirk appearing on his lips. A cold voice resounded from above: "Energy storage remaining: 99%. Stability: 80%."

Admission Tickets

編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation

Why was he the trending topic?

An 18th-rank internet celebrity looked at Xiao Yuyao's name on the trending search bar with a depressed expression.

He spent so much money to boost his views, but he still hadn't made it into the top ten.

Xiao Yuyao saw that the gifts were still being sent out and hurriedly said, "Everyone, thank you so much for the gifts. I don't lack funds anymore. These are just a bunch of numbers to me, so you can stop now. Keep your money for groceries."

After he finished speaking, the comments suddenly stopped.

The audience was furious.

What did he mean by enough?

Was money just a string of numbers to him?

Was it their fault for giving him gifts?

Just as the viewers were about to continue, the gift-giving option disappeared! 

[Oh my god, what kind of godly streamer is this? He actually thinks that there are too many gifts and took the option away.]

After they could no longer give gifts, the audience could only stare at the screen in front of them in anticipation.

They wanted to see what other advanced technology he would bring them.

The items from before had already surpassed their expectations. They all knew that the first item to be taken out was definitely the worst. The truly powerful ones would come last.

At this moment, a comment that appeared triggered everyone's thoughts.

[Which item will you bring to the exhibition? Will it be this pair of shoes or something else?]

[That's right. Give us a hint!]

Xiao Yuyao smiled.

"What's the rush? I have too many inventions to show. I'm still considering which one to bring. However, I'll let you know when the time comes. 

"I'll also give you some benefits to those that are early. The admission tickets just now will be given out as fan benefits.

"You should already know this, but there aren't many admission tickets I have on hand. There are only a few with me, so if you want them, you have to hurry."

After he finished speaking, the audience wailed.

[D*mn it, just open the gift option already!]

[That's right. If we don't tip you, how can we get admission tickets? Isn't it based on who tips more?]

After Zhou Chuchu saw the bullet screen, she hurriedly went forward and asked, "Xiao Yuyao, how about we open it again and let them tip you?"

"Don't I have to tell them about the rules for the admission ticket first?"

"Do we still need rules for this?"

However, he still said, "I'll open the gifts later. Remember to restrain yourself. Don't go too crazy. Otherwise, I'll close it again. At that time, I won't give anyone a single admission ticket."

After opening the gift option, the gifts and comments started to spam the chat again.

Xiao Yuyao could only sigh. He couldn't do anything about it.

Looking at the situation on the field, a big shot suddenly thought of something.

He dialed a number.

The call went through very quickly.

"Director Li, it's me, Wu Changming from China's Research Office. I have something to trouble you with."

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Director Li said calmly.

After all, the other party was from the Huaxia Research Office. It would be bad to wrong him. Otherwise, more trouble might come

Wu Changming hurriedly explained the situation to Director Li.

Director Li was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Are the things on the trending searches true?"

"I thought it was a marketing ploy. Since it isn't the case, we have to get this admission ticket. Let's meet and talk about tactics."

"I'm in the office now," Wu Changming said hurriedly. "You can come and find me. When the time comes, we'll attack together and get all these admission tickets. I just don't know how many people a ticket can bring. It's best to get all of them to make sure."

"Alright, I'll be there right away."

After Director Li hung up the phone, he hurriedly changed his clothes and left in a hurry.

Director Li had been engrossed in a certain scientific research project recently.

At first, he thought that this was fake news released by foreign forces. The more he watched the stream the more he realized it was true.

Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to it at the start. If he knew that this was true from the start, he would have already made his move and rushed over.

Wu Changming was waiting anxiously in the office. He kept pacing back and forth.

His face was filled with anxiety.

Soon, his good friends walked over one after another.

After seeing Wu Changming, he hurriedly said, "How is it? Any results?"

Wu Changming shook his head.

"Now we're just waiting for Director Li. He said he had some connections with Zhou Chuchu, so he should be able to get the admission ticket."

"This chance can't fall into the hands of others. Otherwise, the foreign forces might take it."

"Once all of his works are leaked, it will be a heavy blow to us."

"Therefore, we are the only ones who should get the admission tickets."

Because of the urgency of the matter, he had no time to waste. He had to do everything he could to get it.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone with ulterior motives got it.

If they were to threaten Xiao Yuyao again, then their losses would be huge.

About half an hour later, Director Li pushed open the door and entered without any unnecessary formalities.

He directly came to Wu Changming's side.

"Any updates?"

Wu Changming stood up and asked Director Li to sit down.

"Zhou Chuchu and I have been in contact before, but we didn't have time to grow. She only asked me about one of the previous works of the streamer, and it was through Yang Mimi.

"That's why I have a way to contact her, but other than that, I have no contact with her. It'll be impossible to use this relationship to get an admission ticket."

Several researchers were thinking about how to get an admission ticket as well.

Other business-minded people with status were also trying their best to get tickets.

After all, Xiao Yuyao did say that he might bring in new technology. Even if he didn't the ones he's shown thus far were very appealing to the general audience. Everyone wanted a piece of it.

Everyone wanted to experience leaping over roofs and walking on walls.

They knew how elegant and cool it would be to wear this pair of shoes.

To these people, it was an impossible fever dream.

Xiao Yuyao looked at the audience and shook his head helplessly.

Things were out of his control now, and he couldn't do anything about it.
