Lucas then opened the TikTok livestream room and first topped up his account (Lookas) with 20,000 dollars.

Regardless of whether he could get cashback, 20,000 dollars was completely insignificant to Lucas now.

He then entered tipping mode. As long as he saw someone attractive, he would casually tip them a Lion.

Although a Lion costs 1,200 TikTok coins on TikTok, it is only about 120 dollars in cash. But even so, the tipped streamers were thrilled and would excitedly say in the stream, "Thank you, Lookas, for the Lion!"

In rooms that were not very popular, Lucas’s gift of a Lion instantly landed him the position of the Top Donor.

It was clear that only a tiny minority in the streaming industry could make big money.

After tipping four or five attractive female streamers in a row, Lucas still had not received any rebate notification.

He felt a chill in his heart. If tipping did not provide rebates, would he have to continue sucking up to Sofia tomorrow? Of course, Lucas also knew how powerful the livestream beauty filters were.

Although they looked good in the video, who knew what they actually looked like?

He tipped three more Lions. The system still did not react at all.

Among the dozens of female streamers, Lucas had chosen the eight most attractive ones to tip. It was impossible that not even one of them scored above an eight.

"System, is there no rebate for livestream tipping?"

[Ding! Livestreaming? What livestreaming?]

The system’s reply immediately baffled Lucas. The system actually did not know what livestreaming was.

Lucas was just about to explain to the system what livestreaming was in his mind.

[Ding! Livestream tipping rebate is being activated...]

Immediately, he was overjoyed. This system’s ability to learn and adapt could truly only be described as badass.

[Ding! Livestream tipping rebate activated. Note: For the host to receive rebates from livestream tipping, you must have private interaction with the tipped streamer in real life, reaching at least a level of mutual acquaintance!]

Seeing the condition at the end, Lucas instantly felt deflated.

This was clearly forcing him to use his own capital to build up that level of acquaintance. It was basically a form of investment.

You could potentially throw away hundreds of thousands and not even meet them once, let alone become acquaintances.

But Lucas did not want to give up this rebate opportunity. If he just developed a relationship with one beautiful woman, he would not have to rack his brains trying to spend money on them.

He then went to the local livestream search and directly chose to look for beautiful female streamers.

After entering seven or eight rooms, he finally saw a girl with decent looks. "System, can you rate this female streamer?"

[Ding! The livestream beauty filters are too powerful. The system is helpless!]

The system’s answer made Lucas want to curse. Damn it, if he spent a ton of money and the person he asked out turned out to be a "dinosaur," would not he be depressed to death?

To be safe, Lucas would only take action if he saw a super beautiful streamer who would still be a beauty even without the filters.

After entering another dozen or so rooms, he did not find anyone he felt particularly sure about.

Just as he thought he might return empty-handed tonight, the girl in the next room made his eyes light up.

She looked very familiar. Looking closer, was not this Mia Khalil, the goddess-level figure that many boys at Ashford University dreamed of?

The goddess-level figure ranked third among the ten campus beauties of Ashford University. She seemed to be a Dance Major in the Art Department. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The number of times Lucas had seen her in person on campus could be counted on one hand.

Although she was only ranked third, Lucas believed Mia Khalil was no worse than the campus beauties ranked first and second.

It was because Mia Khalil was only a freshman, so her popularity lagged a bit, causing her to fall slightly behind the top two during the campus beauty selection.

What interested Lucas the most was that Mia Khalil was the only goddess among the top five campus beauties who still had not dated anyone.

Looking at Mia screen name, Lucas could not help but smile. Mia name was actually DanceQueen.

Looking at the current popularity of the room, it was mediocre, with only five or six hundred people.

Yet, some female streamers whose looks could not even compare to Mia had rooms with several thousand people.

So, being a female streamer on TikTok, looks were an advantage but not everything. Many popular female streamers knew how to act cute and flirt.

Their outfits were enough to make many men eyes pop out.

Meanwhile, Mia outfits were always very conservative, and she just performed a few simple dances.

At the beginning, relying on her looks, some Big guys had continuously tipped her until they reached nearly ten thousand in gifts.

But Mia only responded with a simple "thank you" and never had any intention of adding those Big guys as friends.

No matter whose money it was, it did not blow in with the wind. If someone spent ten thousand and could not even add her as a friend, who would be willing to support her?

As a result, very few Big guys figures appeared in Mia room now.

Without the drive from Big guys, the back-end certainly would not provide much traffic.

For a goddess-level beauty like Mia, a single stream would bring in a few hundred dollars at most, and sometimes her income did not even reach a hundred dollars.

But her family was not wealthy, so even if the income was low, she would come back to stream whenever she had time.

Today, she was just about to finish her last dance and end the stream.

Suddenly, a Universe appeared in the room. This was the most expensive gift on TikTok. Usually, even many famous big streamers would find it hard to receive such a gift in a single session.

One Universe costs 30,000 TikTok coins, which is equivalent to 3,000 dollars in cash, almost as much as a common worker’s monthly salary.

Lucas’s TikTok account instantly shot to the number one spot on the leaderboard. And driven by the Universe, a site-wide announcement was sent out, instantly adding a hundred people to the audience, bringing the room count to seven hundred.

Mia was also a bit excited. In the six months she had been streaming, this was the first time she had received a gift at the level of a Universe.

Although those big guys had given her ten thousand in gifts before, it was always the result of many smaller tips of a few hundred each.

Because Mia had not joined any guild, she could get at least 1,500 dollars from this single Universe.

"Thank you, Lookas, for the Universe! I was just about to go offline, but I will perform one more dance specifically for Lookas!"

The Old buddys in the bullet chat also left comments one after another.

"Holy crap, am I seeing things? A level 23 low-level account actually tipped a Universe!"

"Could it be some laborer who took a fancy to our DanceQueen and tipped his entire month’s salary?"
