Chapter 77: Chapter 67: The First Day of Ten Days Battle
Before taking action, there’s one thing that needs to be clear—
Is it feasible to make Pei Shuyu call me “daddy” by splurging money?
Undoubtedly, it is feasible.
Riding on the Freeloading Feature, today I’ll spend 50,000, tomorrow 100,000, the day after tomorrow when I have more on hand I’ll spend another 200,000… five days should be more than enough.
But such an approach would undoubtedly lead to one consequence: a plummeting Favorability Rating.
Forcing a woman with Pei Shuyu’s personality to call me “daddy” through splurging, even without thinking about it, I know what her true feelings would be.
No normal person would think this is a joke but would see it as a humiliation.
Plus, given that the job of a broadcaster is already high-pressure and insular, the harder she tries to coax Su Huai now, the more genuine disgust and aversion she would feel.
Su Huai hasn’t forgotten, she has a “history” of disliking men.
Female broadcasters disliking or fearing men isn’t newsworthy; on one hand, they make money by selling smiles, while on the other, they endure all sorts of crap. Those with a thick skin become female rogues, and those with strong self-respect eventually develop issues if they endure it for too long.
But Su Huai doesn’t just want her to call him “daddy,” he wants her Favorability.
If she is willing to give a Favorability of 90 points, then no matter if she calls him “son,” “Wang Cai,” or even “fucking idiot,” Su Huai would dare to agree to whatever she calls him.
Therefore, the strategy of aggressive spending is feasible, but not the path to take.

A smarter approach would be to find a way to lead her to willingly call me “daddy,” and to even feel like she’s come out ahead.
So, a new question arises—
When a female broadcaster already has a big spender who has spent hundreds of thousands on her monthly ranking, how much does it cost to have good interactions with her?
The correct answer is: not a penny is needed.
As long as you have a decent online image, or what’s called a natural label, there’s absolutely no need to spend money.
For example, purchasing a high-level account is the best entry point.
Normally, an account that has spent 1 million will be sold between 1,000 to 10,000, depending on the size of the platform.
If Su Huai had no money and no Freeloading Feature from Mr. Tongzi, he would take a job with some guild on the online platform, using his rich experience to work as an online operational assistant.
With a base salary of 600, working online, responsible for managing all the miscellaneous tasks in the live broadcast room.
Perform a bit better, and in a few days, you could borrow a high-level account from the guild to show off.
Change the name, and how would a new broadcaster differentiate?
Over 90% of the new broadcasters have been fooled by high-level accounts, and a small percentage of them have been truly deceived and paid up.
The guilds do issue warnings, but sometimes they really can’t help it.
Now Su Huai has a bit of money, but he doesn’t plan to go with the aggressive spending route, so he still needs to start with image design.
So, how to design an online persona that feels valuable?
The first thing to do is to register an account.
The second thing is to pick a name that carries additional value.
Names like “Flash God,” “A Lifetime in a Straw Cloak and Rain,” or “An Adventurous Dream” have no added value; such serious names can only rely on aggressive output to establish worth.
But some names naturally carry extra value.
For instance, the nickname Su Huai settled on: Turbid Dog Number Three.
Many big spenders on the platform like to use secondary accounts for flirting; “Number Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven” easily sparks curiosity and speculation.
It’s not of much use in the long run, but it can play a significant role during the initial unfamiliar phase in the first interaction.
“Turbid Dog” is a label designed to enhance relatability, also prompting thoughts of the “Gou” present on every platform.
Look at that, talk about being strategic!
The third thing is to customize an avatar based on different needs.
This time, Su Huai chose to leave it blank, using the system-provided newbie avatar.
Again, a concealed strategy that will be useful later.
The fourth thing is to recharge 1,000 RMB.
Note that most platforms offer rewards for first-time recharge; the main goal of the first recharge is to get the highest level reward. You can recharge more, but try not to save those few hundred RMB.
Because different first-time recharge rewards can look dramatically different on screen.
If you could get the full reward for recharging 300, but you only recharge 100, that would be very detrimental to creating your image.
Gentlemen who can spend a few thousand to meet up with a broadcaster generally understand the wisdom of using small investments for big returns, but to make big things happen with little money, you need to show that you have a lot of it.
After recharging 1,000 RMB, Su Huai’s blank-level account now features a newbie icon, a promising stock icon, and a mount for newbies at the highest level.
The account gained 110,000 Star Coins and a gift worth 100 RMB from the first-time recharge bonus.
In other words, today he could only spend a total of 1,200 RMB.
Would that be enough?
Remove the question mark, and if the chat goes well, the first day is already more than enough.
Some accounts from external sites always seem desperate to splash the broadcaster with millions right from the start, as if not doing so would not be enough to astonish her.
Sure, it will astonish, but…
Those who have been broadcasters or worked in operations should have a good idea, when encountering a newcomer who spends money wildly without reason, the whole guild indeed couldn’t wait to worship him, but internally, they don’t think highly of him.
Everyone verbally respects him as much as possible, but in their hearts, they’re calculating how to fleece him; everyone treats him like a fish, and what follows is a series of probing, diverse scripts, and all kinds of insidious approaches…
The internal consensus among seasoned broadcasters goes like this:
A true big spender will likely observe you for some time before making large donations; to keep them, you must exchange sincerity for sincerity.
And for a nouveau riche gamer, take the chance to shear as much as you can while you can, and don’t think about anything else.
