"Of course, I do. Besides, Big King, have you forgotten? Last time I borrowed your account, I transitioned to being a lottery streamer on the Huya platform. Today, I have a lottery live stream," Liu Hanyan explained. "After you helped me adjust the revenue split last time, I started considering this transition. So, I borrowed your account to build some momentum. We’ve held five lottery events so far. The first three incurred losses, but the last two started turning a profit. The total profit is close to sixty thousand yuan!"

Upon saying this, Liu Hanyan seemed rather proud.

Profiting from lotteries? Luofeng was speechless. What a talent.

"How did you manage to achieve profitability?" Luofeng asked, curious.

"Firstly, by thoroughly promoting it. Secondly, by controlling the timing of the lotteries. And thirdly, by reducing the prize amounts," Liu Hanyan said.

"If you reduce the prize amounts, won’t fewer people participate?" Luofeng queried.

"That’s true. That’s why, after five events, we’ve only made a profit of fifty thousand yuan. However, I’ve now figured out the balance point for the prize money. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to make a profit of around fifty thousand yuan today alone!" Liu Hanyan elaborated. "As for finding that balance point, it was incredibly difficult. It took me several events to find it, and I’m still not sure if it’s perfect."

Luofeng understood her concept of a balance point. It meant determining how much to set for the first prize to keep it attractive, knowing that if participation decreased, paying out a smaller amount would still be cost-effective. That was roughly the idea. If the prize amount was too high, it would naturally attract people. However, if it wasn’t attracting that many, then lowering the amount slightly would still be very cost-effective, even with fewer participants. Such a balance point required market validation to identify.

"So, you can make fifty thousand today, huh? Hosting lotteries every day sounds pretty good," Luofeng remarked, though he knew daily lotteries weren’t feasible.

Liu Hanyan explained, "The lottery starts at eight o’clock. It lasts for ten minutes, with new rounds every half hour. Each round has a total prize pool of one hundred thousand yuan."

"What about the specific prizes?" Luofeng asked.

"The first prize is forty-eight thousand yuan, and the second prize is eighteen thousand yuan. There’s one of each. The third prize is 9,999 yuan, with two available. The Lucky Prize is one thousand one hundred yuan, with eleven of them," Liu Hanyan said. "For the first prize, participants need to send a gift worth eighteen yuan. For the second prize, it’s a gift worth six yuan and eighty cents. For the Lucky Prize, sending a gift worth just 0.1 yuan is enough to enter."

Liu Hanyan nestled into Luofeng’s arms and continued to whisper, "From my five experiences, I’ve learned that the third prize and the Lucky Prize are the ones that actually make money. The first and second prizes sometimes lose money and sometimes profit, so I’m going to lower their amounts."

"My Little Fairy, you’re truly amazing!" Luofeng praised her again.

「Around 7:55 in the evening.」

The two of them kissed for a while. Luofeng was starting to get a bit carried away, but the thought of the upcoming lottery made him suppress his urges. Liu Hanyan straightened her top, shot Luofeng a playful glare, and then began preparing for the live stream.

This Little Fairy had a real knack for business. As soon as Luofeng had secured her a new profit-sharing ratio, she had immediately begun her transformation. From the looks of it, she was developing very well on both YouTube and Huya—at least better than her previous food exploration vlogs.

"Do you need any help later?" Luofeng asked.

"No need, Big King. Please don’t help. Just stay quiet so you don’t affect the lottery results. I want to collect data to see how everyone reacts to these prize amounts." Liu Hanyan had considered that Big King’s visits were brief, just a few days at a time before he had to leave. Therefore, since he wasn’t around often, she needed to gather data for times when Luofeng wasn’t in the Live Streaming Room. If Luofeng appeared, Million Brother’s fame would attract a large crowd, and that would distort the data. Although Liu Hanyan could earn more money that way, she valued genuine data more.

"Alright, I’ll just watch your performance then," Luofeng said with a mischievous smile.

"Hmph! Just you watch, Big King!" Liu Hanyan huffed playfully.

For her lottery, Liu Hanyan adopted Luofeng’s methods. She didn’t show her face, instead pointing the camera directly at a book about how to succeed. This book still bore the wrap-around banner Luofeng had used: "How to Charm a Wealthy Woman."

At 7:59 p.m., Liu Hanyan started her live stream early. She skillfully logged into Luofeng’s account and began the broadcast for the lottery event.

Luofeng glanced at his account and almost burst into laughter. His honorable Super God Emperor account has turned into an advertisement channel? So, does everyone think Luofeng is present every time there’s a lottery?

Of course, Luofeng simply being "present" (i.e., his account being active) and Luofeng actually appearing in the Live Streaming Room (even without showing his face, just his voice) were two entirely different levels of impact. If Luofeng were directly in the Live Streaming Room—a beautiful streamer and a wealthy tycoon broadcasting from the same room—it would naturally become a hot topic. And the consequence? It would affect Liu Hanyan’s genuine data.

"Good evening, everyone! I’m your host, Lucky Little Bear!" Liu Hanyan seemed to have changed her streaming name. Her channel was now called "Little Bear’s Luck Shop," modeled after "Akali’s Lucky Shop" from League of Legends.

Even when Liu Hanyan wasn’t live-streaming a lottery, there was a link in her Live Streaming Room. It was for raffles on various products from different industries, with discounts ranging from 50% off to 1% off. The currently available items included discount coupons for gourmet restaurants and raffles for temporary discounts from e-commerce platforms. The gourmet shops, of course, gave Liu Hanyan a commission—after all, they still profited from the discounted sales. E-commerce platforms, needless to say, also paid her.

"Has this little host really stopped showing her face? My youth is over, man!"

"Is it another day of Little Bear bossing around Million Brother’s account?"

"Day thirty-eight of missing Super God Emperor."

"I also miss the days when Super God Emperor led Little Bear to surge ahead!"

"Hey, person above, something’s not right with you!"

"Quiet down, everyone! Let’s wait for the lottery!"

"I’ve almost forgotten about Little Bear and Million Brother; all I can think about now is the lottery!"

Luofeng was speechless. So, they’ve figured it out? Everyone knows Luofeng isn’t actually in the Live Streaming Room, and it’s just Liu Hanyan using his account?

Indeed, people had seen through it by the second time. The way comments were made from the account in the Live Streaming Room didn’t match Million Brother’s usual style at all. But Liu Hanyan had openly admitted it. She also said she was using the account with Million Brother’s permission. Moreover, she mentioned that if Luofeng himself sent her gifts, her share of the revenue would be higher due to the favorable terms he had negotiated. This was relevant because, as she pointed out, "You have to send some gifts to build hype before a lottery, right?"

"I was initially a freeloading viewer, and now I’ve been forced into becoming a paying one!"

"It’s mainly because the lottery is just too tempting!"

"I’ve already spent over eighty yuan and even won a 1,111 yuan Lucky Prize once!"

"Bro, are you complaining?"

"I’ve spent over one hundred and fifty yuan and haven’t won a single time!"

"You’re not alone!"
