Just Making a Living

Hibiscus City, Greenwood Residential Complex.

Su Yun looked at the dazzling livestream content and sighed softly.

“I’ve been reborn for a month… Looks like if I want to earn money quickly in this parallel world, I can only start a livestream first.”

It had been more than a month since he was reborn into this world. Although the people were still the same, there were still some changes in the parallel world, but he had a rough understanding of the situation in this world.

Simply put, this world called the Blue Planet was no different from Earth in his previous life. Su Yun was still Su Yun. His family and friends had not changed much, and the history of the world had not changed much.

On the other hand, the livestream industry was especially prosperous.

In this world, as long as you livestreamed frequently, you could obtain subsidies from the platform. Although it was very little, it was not a problem to maintain your life.

If he wanted to earn some money, streaming was undoubtedly the fastest way.

“On the other hand, the content of the livestream is endless. Gaming, outdoors, decryption… All kinds of professions are basically quite prosperous. It’s basically impossible to become popular in such a situation.”

Su Yun browsed the webpage and frowned in thought.

The livestream industry was too developed now. Every field had its own big streamers, almost forming a monopoly.

If he chose to livestream in the direction of the masses, although he could earn some extra money, he would not have any special characteristics. It would be easy for him to fade into the crowd.

‘Still…’

“What if it’s in the direction of childhood fantasy?”

Su Yun’s eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a good direction for the livestream.

It was about the exaggerated fantasies of childhood!

“Everyone has a martial arts dream, I’m afraid nobody is an exception. Whether it’s using a wooden stick as a sword when we were young or looking for reeds to cross the river on, this should be a fantasy that everyone has… If we can make this direction, the effect shouldn’t be bad!”

Su Yun muttered to himself. He felt that this kind of livestream direction was very feasible.

Of course, the above-mentioned things were quite difficult to do, but Su Yun knew something simpler.

That was to play poker!

It was not a game like Fight the Landlord. Instead, it was to the point where the poker cards could fly out as blades.

“Let’s give it a try.”

Su Yun chuckled and turned on his livestream.

Title: From 0 to 100, training card throwing!

Unfortunately, as a newbie streamer, he did not have much traffic in the early stages. However, Su Yun did not care. His greatest strength was perseverance.

After aiming the camera at himself, Su Yun’s slender fingers casually grabbed a stack of poker cards. With a gentle push of his thumb, an Ace of Hearts was held in Su Yun’s hand. “What is the streamer doing?”

In the empty livestream room, a bullet comment floated across the screen.

Su Yun glanced at it and smiled. “Hello, internet friend. The streamer wants to use poker cards to cut cucumbers.”

“Huh?”

The netizen was clearly stunned.

Su Yun did not mind. He tied a cucumber to a solid wooden stump with a rope. He pinched the middle of the Ace of Hearts between his index and middle fingers, then bent it slightly and flicked it gently.

The poker card bounced out and rolled a few times in the air before finally landing less than a meter away from Su Yun.

Obviously, he had failed the first time.

“Is the streamer joking?” The bullet screen sent a question.

However, Su Yun looked at the poker cards on the ground thoughtfully. Although he had failed just now, he could feel the reason for his failure.

The way he exerted force was not quite right.

Strength and skill were indispensable in card throwing. If one could not find a way to exert force, the card would not fly out no matter what.

He pulled out another ace of spades. This time his index and middle fingers didn’t clamp down on the middle of the poker. Instead, they clamped down on the corners so he could flick.

This time, it was obvious that the card could fly. However, the path in the air was also bumpy, and it barely flew to the edge of the cucumber.

Then, the third, fourth, fifth…

Su Yun’s card throwing were getting slower and slower. He seemed to be immersed in this feeling. Every time, he was looking for the right force and angle to make his card throwing more powerful.

The path of the poker cards in the air slowly changed.

If it was said to be messy at first, then in the next few cards, the flight path of the poker cards gradually became straightforward and fierce, faster and faster.

In the end, Su Yun subconsciously drew the next card, but he did not feel anything in his hand.

He was stunned. Only then did he realize that most of the decks of poker cards had been used up, and nearly three hours had passed.

“Looks like today’s livestream ends here.”

Su Yun said to the livestream.

“Streamer, why don’t you pick up the poker cards that you threw away and continue to use them?” Another comment came from the bullet screen.

This was beyond Su Yun’s expectations. He thought that the audience had long run away, but he did not expect them to still be here.

Su Yun explained, “The poker cards that have been used once will be damaged and softened. It’s not conducive for a newbie like me to continue throwing.”

“When will the streamer start streaming?”

“Two o’clock in the afternoon. I need to buy a few more pokers.”

“See you tomorrow, then.”

“See you tomorrow.”

[You have closed the livestream. Livestream duration: 3 hours.]

[Number of viewers: 10]

As the speed of the card throwing became slower and slower, sometimes he would be immersed for a few minutes in searching for techniques, as well as the posture and position of the card throwing. Therefore, a few decks of poker cards actually took a full three hours.

After turning off the livestream, Su Yun looked at the hanging cucumber and slowly fell into a daze.

He felt that his improvement was greater than he had imagined.

What would happen later on?

He was looking forward to it.

…

The next day.

Su Yun, who had bought a few new cards with the livestream subsidy, started the livestream on time. The number of viewers was still ten, but that loyal viewer came again.

Su Yun smiled and greeted him before continuing his practice.

This time, the card throwing technique was obviously much better than yesterday. Su Yun threw a flying card, and the poker card drew an arc in the air before finally hitting the hanging cucumber with a bang, causing the rope to sway continuously.

However, due to the lack of strength, nothing happened.

Su Yun frowned in deep thought.

In next to no time, he entered a special state just like yesterday.

Perhaps to him, strength was not the key. What was most important was technique?

With this thought in mind, the deck of poker cards flew out again.

Then came the third day, the fourth day…

Until the fifth day.

Perhaps it was because of Su Yun’s unique livestreaming style, but the number of viewers in the livestream was also a little higher. Although it was still lukewarm, there were clearly more comments on the bullet screen, and they were all bad reviews.

“What’s the streamer doing?”

“The streamer is obviously a newbie. He won’t be able to cut it open for at least a year.”

“It’s so mediocre, how boring.”

“I think only some martial arts masters can cut cucumbers with cards, right? Streamer, are you sure you can do it after training for five days?”

Su Yun did not see the scattered doubts floating over.

He held the last poker in his hand.

After five days of training, Su Yun was already very familiar with the cards. Especially this last card, it gave him a special feeling.

His hand seemed to have become a bow that was ready to fire. The moment he placed his near his shoulder, it was like a taut bowstring that was ready to fire. It was filled with tension.

And poker was an arrow!

Whoosh—!

The Ace of Spades suddenly shot out, emitting an obvious trajectory in the air. It was like a swaying arrow, spinning all the way. Finally, with a clang, the poker card cut into the cucumber.
