Han Haocheng saw that the mission was completed, but there was no more time to check the mission's reward.
At this juncture, survival was his top priority.
So, without saying another word, he widened his stance and made his escape at full speed with several young men following in hot pursuit.
In broad daylight, on the streets...
A group of youths, some wielding sticks, and others armed with machetes, were desperately chasing after a person.
Wherever they went, onlookers involuntarily took a step back and swallowed hard at the unbelievable sight.
Right after, their curiosity was piqued, wondering what the person being chased had done to warrant such frantic pursuit.
Furthermore, many began to worry about the safety of the man fleeing in a frenzy.
But if passersby took a closer look, they would swiftly dispel their worries, shake their heads, and break into a smile before exclaiming with amusement:
"My word, this person runs faster than a rabbit!"
"Those delinquents in the back definitely can't catch up!""
...
Meanwhile, after Han Haocheng suddenly accelerated his run, the viewers in the live stream witnessed the camera shaking from the excessive speed, causing his facial expressions to distort.
The 70,000 people who had been holding their breath instantly breathed a sigh of relief and broke into relieved smiles.
"Pfft...lmao, this speed is ridiculously fast!"
"Whoa! Guys, the streamer used to be a sprinter, right?"
"Honestly, I was so worried until a moment ago, but now it seems that my worries were unnecessary!"
"Hahaha, I forgot that the anchor has these life-saving sprinting legs, looks like my concern was needless!"
"I think the streamer dares to live broadcast this type of content relying on his swift escaping ability, right? Hahaha!"
"Nonsense, if you don't have any such special talent, then isn't doing something like this simply suicidal!"
"I admire him, even if I could run fast, I don't have the same courage. The host is exceptionally brave!"
"Not only is he brave, but he also keeps his word, always doing exactly what he says. Such streamers are rare; let's like, share, and subscribe!"
"Won't say anything, just sending you a rocket. Host, run away quickly!"
"Haha, the streamer is really having a lot of fun today, and he timed his escape so perfectly. I'll send a plane to cheer him on as I join in the fun!"
"I'll send you a rocket as a token of appreciation for the 'encore' prank you pulled off today, without any fear of death whatsoever. Although, I must say; your epic singing, plus this thrilling live broadcast of your great escape also deserve a multitude of gifts!"
"..."
Numerous amused viewers, after enjoying this exciting show, felt delighted. They praised Han Haocheng's great performance in the comments, and many even started sending gifts.
When Han Haocheng managed to shake off these young hooligans once again, he realized that, in such a short time, the gifts he had received were valued in the 20,000s
Adding the earlier ones worth more than 5,000, resulted in an income of approximately thirty thousand solely from this encore.
Thirty thousand, for Han Haocheng, who used to be an ordinary salaried worker...
it would have been considerably challenging to save thirty thousand yuan in even half a year.
It's great now; he earned a five-digit sum from this performance, exclusively from gifts.
'This is simply, too cool!'
Under the stimulation of money, Han Haocheng didn't feel tired anymore and he smiled gleefully.
"Whew!"
"Hweeuh!"
"Whew!"
He took a few deep breaths and looked back to ensure that no one was catching up.
Then, Han Haocheng addressed the viewers:
"Thank you all for your support with the gifts. Special thanks to, 'If the sky is affectionate, the sky is also old' for the plane!"
"Thanks a million to 'Life is Short and Instant Fun' for the rocket, and thank you 'Jun Ge Car Dealer' for the treasure map..."
"Many many thanks for all the likes, follows, all the support and all of the gifts such as lollipops and sunglasses... Thank you everyone, brothers spent a lot of money today."
Even though he only live-streamed to earn rewards by completing the system's tasks, and didn't care much about traditional monetisation.
However, if the audience sent money via gifts, then who in their right minds would complain about having extra money?
These viewers spontaneously sent gifts, which was a substantial support for Han Haocheng.
Of course, he wanted to express his gratitude to the fans who had spent their valuable money on him.
When they heard Han Haocheng's acknowledgment, the people who took the initiative to send gifts responded with comments:
"You're welcome host. You risk your life to make the show more effective, and we support you with payments; it's only fair!"
"Yeah, you're doing a great job, streamer. It's fun to watch. You deserve the gifts!"
"I've never sent gifts before, but after watching your content a few times, my perspective has changed. If we want such shows to continue, we naturally have to send gifts in support. So, I gave you a plane; consider it an admission ticket."
"..."
In addition, those who hadn't sent gifts also expressed their thoughts:
"That's true, in fact, I don't even envy this broadcaster for making money!"
"Yes, although I haven't sent gifts, I believe this kind of streamer definitely deserves support! It's just that I can't afford anything right now, and I don't even have change to spend."
"If it weren't for my own debts, I would contribute too. Right now, I can only show my support by liking and sharing your content."
"To be honest, I've laughed more in the past few days in the streamer's live broadcast room than I had in the past year!"
"Such an anchor deserves to be popular!"
"..."
Seeing that the entire barrage of comments came from his supporters, Han Haocheng's mood improved even further.
Just as he was about to chat some more, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
He turned around and spotted the gang of unruly youths, still chasing after him and not too far away.
As a result, Han Haocheng started sprinting again.
At full speed, he ran all the way without looking back.
About half an hour later, Han Haocheng returned home safely.
His body was drenched in sweat and he was thoroughly exhausted.
"Host, you're so fast. Were you a sports student in the past?"
"It's so funny, you can really run. Streamer, do tell us why you are so good at running?"
Seeing someone asking, Han Haocheng responded:
"Why can I run?"
"Of course it's to save my life!"
"Damn it, didn't you guys see that those delinquents all had weapons."
"If I risked my life in that moment and didn't run like crazy, I would have been slashed. Had I been hit in a vital part, I would be done for!"
"If it were you guys in a similar situation, you would flee faster than me!"
"Believe me, human potential is unlimited, especially in situations on the verge of death!"
Hearing this, the audience were even more amused.
They smiled, laughed and responded in the comments:
"Then, streamer are you saying that you're also afraid of death?"
"Pfft... I'm laughing my head off. 'To save my life,' seriously? I even thought that the host was a track and field prodigy in his student days!"
"Anchor, please tell us, are you actually afraid of death?"
Han Haocheng was speechless and didn't want to reply but still responded:
"Of course I am afraid of death. Who is not afraid of death?"
"That's what I just said!"
When the viewers heard his response, they immediately retorted:
"You claim that you are afraid of death, but every one of these tasks you perform is bordering on the edge of mortality."
"That's not right, host. If you are afraid of death, why do you still live stream these dangerous pranks?"
"Why do I live stream this kind of content?" Han Haocheng glanced at the system rewards and said:
"The reason why I do so is because, in my life... Besides being scared of death, I'm even more afraid of one thing!"
Audience:
"What?"
"Is there anything more frightening than death? Host, stop being ridiculous!"
"That's right, broadcaster, what could possibly be scarier than dying?"
Han Haocheng smiled and said lightly: "The thing I find more terrifying than death is poverty!"
The second he said this, the grins in the live broadcast room seemed to stiffen for an instant.
