But upon closer thought, it seemed like something that father and son would do.
Lu Wanqing found it amusing and couldn't help but keep watching little Harvey, who was happily chasing butterflies below.
"I caught one, I caught one!!!" Little Harvey finally caught a butterfly and immediately exclaimed excitedly.
"Let's go down and see," Lu Yang said.
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed.
They descended together.
Seeing his mommy come down, little Harvey's eyes lit up. He immediately ran over, "Mommy, let's catch butterflies together!"
Lu Wanqing playfully pinched the little fellow's nose. "Can I get a share of the money from selling the videos?"
Little Harvey: "..."
Little Harvey looked at his uncle, no, at His Majesty the Emperor.
"I said it," Lu Yang admitted directly, without any pretense.
Little Harvey was dejected.
Lu Wanqing chuckled. "Alright, Mommy won't take your money. You earn it yourself."
Little Harvey thought seriously for a moment, then said, "I can split it fifty-fifty with Mommy. That is, half of the money I earn, I'll give to Mommy."
Not far away, Xavier overheard little Harvey's profit-sharing arrangement and couldn't help but glance over.
Why was it fifty-fifty with Lu Wanqing, but thirty-seven with him? This little brat was actually showing favoritism?
Little Harvey remained oblivious to Xavier's lament. Even if he had noticed, given his personality, he probably wouldn't have changed. He wouldn't change at all! Mommy was so generous, willing to spend her money on him, so fifty-fifty was acceptable. But Daddy...
Thirty-seven split, that was Daddy's rule. So, when he made a deal with his dad, it had to be a thirty-seven split too!
Lu Wanqing didn't want to share profits with the little guy, but she also didn't want to be involved in the video recording. It wasn't that she thought recording videos was bad, but the thought of these videos being specifically made to earn money, and knowing that people on Tianxing loved children the most, made her feel it was inappropriate for her to participate. It felt like leeching off his popularity and earning the little guy's money!
"Alright, we'll stop filming butterfly catching here. Where do you want to live stream next? I'll arrange for people to broadcast the entire process, also open to Tianxing. The gifts and tips received then, we'll stick to the old rule: I get half, you get half," Ouyang Jian said with a smile.
It was all money!
So much money!
Just thinking about it made him happy!
Children were the best money-makers!
Ouyang Jian thought, looking at little Harvey as if he were a walking Tianxing currency.
Lu Wanqing pondered for a moment and then asked, "Are we only splitting the revenue from the Tianxing live streams?"
Ouyang Jian nodded. "Of course. The money from those two places below is useless to us."
This made Lu Wanqing happy, and she quickly agreed. "Then it's settled. We'll split it fifty-fifty."
They hadn't originally planned to live stream to Tianxing at all. This way, it was equivalent to gaining revenue from another planet. So much money, like a pie falling from the sky!
"Then it's a deal. Shall we sign a contract first?" Ouyang Jian said with a smile.
Lu Wanqing: "..." What a shrewd businessman.
Ouyang Jian handed Lu Wanqing a photonic computer. "This is a Tianxing photonic computer. Your photonic computer from below is useless up here. Well... not entirely useless, but we can't connect on the same channel. You can only add friends using a Tianxing photonic computer."
"Okay," Lu Wanqing agreed, and thanked him. "Thank you."
A Tianxing photonic computer would make their lives on Tianxing much more convenient, such as shopping and doing many things.
With the new photonic computer, Lu Wanqing quickly added Ouyang Jian as a friend and then signed the contract.
It was worth mentioning that when Ouyang Jian sent the contract, Lu Yang meticulously reviewed it several times before letting Lu Wanqing sign it.
Ouyang Jian felt somewhat annoyed. He felt his friend didn't trust him. No matter how shrewd a businessman he was, this person in front of him was the one his friend had been searching for over three thousand years! He might cheat heaven and earth, but he wouldn't cheat Lu Wanqing, right?
However, with the contract signed, everyone was happy, and they quickly began planning the upcoming live streams.
How should this live stream be conducted?
Ouyang Jian immediately brought out a pile of scripts, letting Lu Wanqing and little Harvey choose which ones they liked.
Lu Wanqing was utterly shocked. She hadn't expected there to be scripts for this!
"Um... do you guys not need scripts for your live streams?" Perhaps because Lu Wanqing and little Harvey's expressions were too shocked, Ouyang Jian finally realized his behavior was a bit out of line and couldn't help but ask.
"Without a script, how do you ensure your live streams are entertaining enough?"
"If you want to make money, you have to be attractive, right? Live streams need a lot of viewers to generate income," Ouyang Jian said.
Lu Wanqing thought for a moment, then said, "Is there a possibility that... I am the traffic?"
Her identity as an ancient Earthling was too unique. Her status alone could attract a lot of attention. Coupled with the things and events related to the ancient Earth era that she engaged in, it would pique the interest of many in the interstellar community, leading to her live streams being consistently popular and gaining her many fans.
"I should have many fans in the Federation and the Empire. Even without a script, many people will tune in to watch the live stream," Lu Wanqing said.
"Mhm, my Mommy is super amazing!" little Harvey added worshipfully.
Ouyang Jian thought for a while, then said, "Wait a moment, I need to research this."
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Lu Wanqing found it amusing. However, since Ouyang Jian wanted to put his heart into making the live stream a success, she felt there was no problem and didn't stop him.
While Ouyang Jian was contemplating the script matter, Lu Wanqing's photonic computer received a message from the boss of Xingxing Live. The boss asked when they would start their live stream.
Lu Wanqing couldn't give a definite answer for the moment, only telling him it would be soon and they were in preparation.
Upon hearing this, the boss of Xingxing Live eagerly agreed and looked forward to it.
Ouyang Jian spent the entire night thinking and finally reached a conclusion the next day. He directly ordered Lu Wanqing and the others to be kidnapped and then, in an aircraft, they were unceremoniously dumped into a desert.
The live stream on Tianxing quickly commenced with the slogan: Shocking! A frail ordinary ancient Earthling is kidnapped and abandoned in the desert to survive!
Lu Wanqing, under the guidance of her third brother, managed to find out about this live stream through the Tianxing photonic computer that Ouyang Jian had previously given her.
Upon seeing the live stream's slogan, she was completely bewildered.
When they first arrived, Ouyang Jian seemed like a normal person. Why did it feel like this person... wasn't quite normal after interacting with him?
"Where is the recording sphere?" Lu Wanqing, seeing the live stream, couldn't help but search around her. If they were to live stream, surely they needed cameras, right?
She had brought a recording sphere, one she had bought in the Federation before and used several times. It was very effective, but she hadn't taken out her own recording sphere yet. What was Ouyang Jian using to film them?
