Live-streaming counterfeit dollars? Streamer, you're really asking for prison time! - Chapter 05
Chapter 5: Do You Guys Want to Open Your Eyes and See?
Brothers, I’m really happy about this high popularity right now!
But I’m a bit worried about being harassed by the park executives!
But if the popularity is low, then forget about it!
Let’s play it safe and see what else we can do better!!
Ye Chen said.
As a result, the viewers below directly commented—
Rather than worrying about being summoned by the park executives.
They should consider whether they might be invited for tea by the authorities.
A group of viewers began scaring Ye Chen, saying that producing counterfeit U.S. dollars—if it led to actual circulation—could easily be treated as counterfeiting, resulting in arrest.
There are still viewers saying that if a connected viewer dies, the streamer would also bear joint liability.
A group of viewers spoke so seriously that they nearly scared Ye Chen.
A whole bunch of viewers kept talking and ended up stirring up trouble, convinced that Ye Chen would definitely get arrested.
They were deliberately trying to scare Ye Chen, making the whole thing sound so serious.
[Little Punk]: « Host, confess and face harsher punishment, resist and get leniency—oops, got it backwards in the heat of the moment! »
[Little Punk]: « Host, if you get thrown in the slammer, you’ll only get four squares of toilet paper a day. Pray you don’t get diarrhea. »
[Little White Bird]: « Host, we’ll visit you in the slammer regularly! »
« …… »
A whole bunch of netizens were saying the same thing.
Ye Chen couldn’t shake the feeling of a chill creeping up the back of his neck.
He was stunned to see thousands of netizens saying the same thing.
Uncle Officer, you wouldn’t actually arrest me, right?
Forget it, this might actually be a bit risky!
What if the connected audience member really gets busted?
Then, I might actually be in some trouble.
I’ll set aside the US dollars for now and work on something else!
Anyway, the more emotional points I add, the higher the rank becomes, and the more realistic the things I make will be!
Fake checks, fake antiques, fake watches, fake guns—I can make anything!
Brothers, for the safety of your streamer!
« Let’s try something different for our next live stream! »
Ye Chen decided to wait until the heat died down before resuming his live broadcasts on making counterfeit dollars.
[Little Punk]: « Host, if you’re not making dollars anymore, how about making yen instead? »
【Little White Bird】: « Anchor, are you really going to livestream making Chinese currency? »
【Sasa Sa】: « Come on, even if the anchor dared to make Chinese currency, even if they were a nine-tailed cat demon with nine lives, it wouldn’t be enough to escape execution by firing squad. »
【Qin Shi Huang Reborn】: « Anchor, tell us, what are you going to make in the next livestream? »
« …… »
Many viewers felt that the streamer’s counterfeiting skills were incredibly strong, sparking intense curiosity.
The audience also wanted to see how the next wave of viewers who received these ‘art pieces’ would react and play along.
From the very beginning of his stream, Ye Chen never intended to keep these creations.
What would he even keep them for?
Just for display?
If it can be sold, of course it’ll be sold.
So, there’s still a large group of viewers waiting to buy these ‘art pieces.’
Brothers, it’s already afternoon. I’m ending the stream for now—gonna grab some food first!
Tomorrow, same as always, we’ll start the livestream at noon sharp!
Tomorrow, what I’ll be making—you’ll find out when you join. Get those lucky little fingers ready and hit that follow button!
After finishing his announcement, Ye Chen ended the stream and checked the analytics:
[Stream duration: 4 hours — 1,600 engagement points]
[Live stream viewers: Maintained between 1,000 to 4,000 people!]
[Live engagement: Audience emotions were intensely stimulated—reward: 1,000 emotional points]
[580 new followers: Additional 5,800 emotional points acquired]
[Live wish gift feedback: 1,388 (Frozen Tank)]
【Wish Gift Reward Obtained: 10,000 Emotional Points】
[Live stream gift feedback: 3210]
【Total Emotional Points Earned This Stream: 25,998 Emotional Points】
【Emotional Points Balance (Total): 54,119 (28,121 + 25,998)】
After the live broadcast concluded, Ye Chen’s emotional value recovered, totaling 54,000.
For every hour of live streaming, you earn 400 emotional points.
The more viewers in the live stream room and the higher the popularity, the greater the rewards would be.
For each new follower gained, he received 10 emotional points.
Now, Ye Chen has accumulated over 900 followers, which can be considered loyal fans.
A wish gift, receiving one earns an extra 10,000 emotional points.
However, wish gifts start at hundreds of yuan each.
But most viewers in the livestream aren’t big spenders.
So few viewers send wish gifts, mostly just regular ones.
When sending wish gifts, Ye Chen immediately received 1388.
During live stream settlement, he could get another 1388 refunded.
The 3210 from gift feedback was equivalent to 6420, meaning all viewers collectively gifted 642 yuan worth of presents.
At that time, Ye Chen gained 6420 points, and after live stream settlement, he could receive another half of 3210.
Therefore, considering various sources of income, Ye Chen gained 54,000 emotional points.
After ending the live stream!
Ye Chen leaned back in his computer chair as his personal data appeared before his eyes:
[Ye Chen]
[Identity: DouTian Platform Streamer]
[Title: Bronze-level Streamer]
【Fame: Novice Stage】
【Skills: Counterfeit Bill Production Level 7 (11%), Watchmaking Level 2 (1%), Check Production Level 5 (95%), Porcelain Level 2 (4%)…】
The original owner was a prop master, hence skilled in crafting numerous types of props.
Each skill has a different proficiency level!
The highest demand is for counterfeit cash, followed by checks.
This might be because most of the film crews the original owner worked with specialized in commercial films, requiring prop money and prop checks.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment. Tomorrow’s live stream about manufacturing US dollars could wait—better not attract the attention of the industrial park and end up getting kidnapped to « taste the electric baton. »
In that case, making checks would be the way to go!
Making American checks!
This way, the Dragon Country police officers shouldn’t come after me. I’m not causing any trouble in Dragon Country.
Ye Chen happily made this decision!
He spent 5,000 emotional points to improve check production by 5%.
Perfect timing, the upgrade reached level 6.
As the decision was made!
A surge of red light emerged in Ye Chen’s mind and hands.
More sophisticated methods for check fabrication had already flowed into Ye Chen’s consciousness.
At the same time, Ye Chen’s craftsmanship in creating exquisite checks was rapidly improving.
His hands became more dexterous, capable of achieving details that ordinary people couldn’t.
Half an hour had passed.
Ye Chen woke up from his office chair and pondered for a moment!
In the end, he spent 20,000 emotional points to exchange for a cloisonné porcelain from the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty.
He dialed a number and said, « Xiaoyue, I have a piece of porcelain here that needs to be sold. Come and pick it up! »
That’s a specialized antique dealer, or perhaps the daughter of some big shot in the antique industry. Having her handle the sale shouldn’t pose any problems.
..
At the Serious Crimes Division of Chunhua City!
Captain Chen held the counterfeit bills made by Ye Chen, staring at his solemn-faced subordinates with a curled lip.
He asked directly, « You told me there’s a streamer live-streaming counterfeit money production, and this is the fake currency made by that streamer? »
Would you like to open your eyes and see whose portrait is on this US dollar bill?
Don’t talk to me about some connected netizen spending this money. As long as it didn’t happen within our Dragon Nation’s borders, it’s none of my concern.
Moreover, the portrait on this dollar bill is Tony Stark—Iron Man!!!
Anyone who could fall for this scam, I—
Victims who could be fooled by such counterfeit dollars!
Perhaps they needed a lesson from society in the first place.
Consider it as paying tuition fees.
