In fact, asking book fans for charity was a last resort. Li Peifeng, always adaptable, thought of another way to "freeload." For example, he could change careers and become a male internet celebrity.
Sexy hunk, begging online!
This industry is perfect for milking the "freeload" currency. By using his face to become a male streamer and constantly guiding those older sisters and younger sisters to send him gifts, putting out a bowl to beg, if he got lucky and became a big streamer with millions of fans, wouldn't the "freeload" currency keep skyrocketing?
But after such a long time of contact, Li Peifeng couldn't help but speculate maliciously about this system that was adept at human nature...
"This damn system is self-aware and can monitor my brain, it probably won't give me such a big loophole to exploit!"
Simply put, Li Peifeng directly asked the system in his mind. Half a minute later, he understood, but the joy from before diminished by more than half.
"The method is feasible, but not completely feasible..."
According to the system's explanation, becoming an internet celebrity and live streaming, guiding fans of the opposite sex to recharge and buy virtual gifts, cannot be counted in the gift consumption quota nor convert to "freeload" currency, because these are direct transactions, not acts of giving and receiving.
Only if fans of the opposite sex bypass the platform to directly give material gifts to Li Peifeng would it count.
Similarly, the relationship between author and reader is the same.
This money must be willingly given by a female reader to Li Peifeng as a person, with fondness for the author himself, willing to give him this money personally and directly bypass a third party for it to be effective, and thus convertible to "freeload" currency.
If it's because they think Li Peifeng's book is good and give it to his book, then it's invalid too.
This rule isn't hard to understand; if it's the latter, even if the reader doesn't go through the website and rewards him through private transactions, the nature of this money is the same as manuscript fees, which falls under transactions, not gifts, and doesn't fit the system's idiotic philosophy.
"The distinction between the two is very subtle. In that case, I'll have to use some small techniques..."
After thinking for a moment, Li Peifeng double-clicked to open the group chat window, planning to first observe what the book friends were discussing, and then draft his own plan.
...
[In the group chat "One or Two Winds in the World Book Friends Group①"]
(Admin) Loli Lisper: "Throwing flowers, it's updated, Young Master Feng has updated!"
(Admin) Old Huang next door: "Weak and powerless, yet another update, truly deserving of being just one or two winds!"
This statement directly led the subsequent chat direction in the group astray, with many group friends jumping out and starting to neatly copy and paste.
(Admin) Loli Lisper: "Why isn't Xiaofeng resisting? So boring!"
(Admin) Old Huang next door: "Exactly, Bao Zhao! Refute us! Provide evidence!!"
Spokesperson for Slum Image: "Bao Zhao ah!"
One cannot expect that girls reading network novels are all simple little rabbits, in fact, they are all quite raunchy. Even if these female readers were originally very pure, after reading Young Master Li's book, they also become old perverts, so the chat scale in the group is far greater than the usual male frequency book friends group.
A few administrators who are also old book fans take the lead in breaking the rules, often posting risque pictures in the group.
Especially 'Old Huang next door', as the first administrator of the book friends group, she is very active in the group, although she is a girl, she is an expert at suggestive jokes, which is hinted at by her username.
Speaking of which, actually Li Peifeng hasn't never posted photos before. Whenever he encountered a critical moment on recommendations or rankings for his works, he would post anonymous photos of himself, using the opportunity to ask for votes, rewards, or subscriptions.
It's similar to the fan circle tactics, using photos to boost rankings and stimulate female readers.
But the photos Li Peifeng posted never showed his face.
So the female readers in the group only knew that "One or Two Winds in the World" was a male author, very tall, ambiguous in appearance, relatively young, but should be quite handsome, sparking some appearance-based fans in the group.
However, because the photos Li Peifeng posted have always been half-hidden, it drives these female readers crazy with curiosity about his true appearance.
Several wealthy members in the group even issued bounties, claiming that as long as Li Peifeng posts a full-face selfie, each will reward with a Silver Alliance Leader. However, Li Peifeng is afraid of being recognized by acquaintances, so he has always hidden his true appearance.
"You want me to reveal my photos, then I'll reveal them."
"But this time, it can't show the face either! Teasing and being shy is what's most attractive to my female wolf readers..."
Li Peifeng took a deep breath, made up his mind, picked up his phone, and stepped towards the wardrobe, taking off his top, changing into a pair of grey pants, and examining himself in the mirror.
In the mirror, he had a tall, hulking figure, with muscles bulging, broad shoulders, a distinct six-pack, visually surpassing typical male underwear models.
Needless to say about his looks, after facial reconstruction, the carved facial features were even more perfect, making men silent and women cry.
Because he had eaten two hearty meals today and with the modified iron kidneys, Li Peifeng's complexion returned to a normal state, even better than before, more energetic, and he faintly felt that his strength had also increased, though he had no clear concept of exactly how much.
"Tonight is too late, I'll go to the gym tomorrow to test out the exercises."
"Who would have thought the iron kidneys would be so strong, modifications of this kind of rewards! Truly an elevation of the human body! If there's a chance, I should draw all the other modifications in the roulette, prosthetic modifications sound very..."
With that thought in mind, Li Peifeng kept working, beginning his 'begging plan.'
Plan step one: He found multiple angles, using his phone's camera aimed at the mirror, took over a dozen rapid shots of topless body photos without revealing his face.
Then, he began selecting the best, most clear ones.
After a short while, Li Xun'an picked out three photos he was quite satisfied with, but still felt something was missing. After thinking for a bit, he simply took out a freshly washed pair of socks and stuffed them into the underwear...
"Bring it on!"
Those male underwear models generally do this when taking ads, filling something to enhance the visual impact.
Other men who don't understand the tricks inside become very anxious, but it's really unnecessary, it's all just tricks!
Manually modified, Li Peifeng posed again, taking another round.
About ten minutes later, he selected three from the second round of photos.
The first one was at a normal forty-five-degree angle, standing sideways with hands on hips, the second was kneeling on one knee, and the third one not only knelt but also had the right hand slipping into the pocket of the sports pants, showing a little.
Next: apply filters, edit photos.
No matter how perfect the photo, it can be edited even more perfectly, just edit them.
After another seven or eight minutes, Li Peifeng admired the three photos and let out a long sigh.
"Finally done!"
"Whether I can get the money or how much depends on you now!"
Finally, Li Xun'an uploaded the photos to his computer and then sent the first two photos in his book friends group...
