Chapter 154: Chapter 154 – Deal!

They talked about the details afterward, and Max was honestly satisfied with the offer.

"The shooting will be held on April 9th at the Tag House in Paperful City. It's 3 hour's trip from Lime City with a Sky Rail. The final cut of pay you will receive is $7,000. It's already taxed, so that's a pure pay. Do you have any questions?"

One day of work, and he would get 7 grand. That was too sweet.

Not to mtion, he would be able to do parkour in real life.

Tag House, as it was called, was a house for a tag. It was just a person chasing each other, but it was a sport that was recognized by the country and had a worldwide competition with many thusiasts.

It had many obstacles that could also be used for parkour. This might be the reason why parkour wasn't well known. Ev if people could do it, the name of the game of tag was more famous, and probably no one would call it parkour.

'It's kinda sad.' He thought.

Still, he didn't mind. And he actually had a question for Mr. Taka.

"April 9th... Isn't that so close to the monthly segmt recording, Mr. Taka?"

"It's, indeed. The monthly segmt will be livestreamed on the company's main Punch channel. We expect more than 00K viewers, and it's being held on April 30th. I can only say... good luck. It will be hard, but I hope you can manage." The marketing team manager laughed, "Welcome to streamer life."

"Streamer life..." Max muttered, and a smile appeared on his life. "I guess it's quite a busy life."

"Hahahaha, yes."

After the business talk was done, they conversed casually. Mr. Taka excused himself as he was still buried with work after saying that someone would accompany him wh he wt to the shooting location because he still had no manager or a secretary.

Max appreciated that and bid goodbye. He logged out from the VR. His body was drched in sweat, just like usual. Wh he looked at the clock, it was still 4:50. He still had time to rest.

'I will stream again at 7. That way, I can finish the rest of 3 matches and op my Tier before midnight.'

He took a shower and had an early dinner because he had forgott lunch. Th, he spt time messaging his editor, BloodSucker.

[Breeze: Blood, there will be an ad shooting for me on 9 and 30. I won't be able to stream that day. Can you use the existing footage from Midnight Heist? Also, can you also edit my parkour footage and improve it?]

He hummed curiously.

'Well, no use thinking about it. I better boot up my VR capsule and buy the camera before I forget.'

Shopping in VR would allow him to see the result of the camera instead of just its specifications. He tered the biggest Mall that the United Nations had to offer.

A variety of gadgets lay in front of his eyes. Wh he stepped in, he could see many people browsing the articles, accompanied by an AI employee. In fact, an employee appeared on his side from blue ptagons wh he tered the store.

"May I help you with something?" She asked politely with a smile.

"Yes, can you show me an action camera? I prefer the one with a good video stabilizer and can record up to 8K FPS. Also, a wireless microphone that has a good sound quality similar to Spcer's latest VR capsule."

"Certainly."

After giving his requiremts, the AI employee raised her hands and showed two objects: a small circular camera and a clip-on microphone. The camera was the type that could be worn on the forehead and not the one that hovered in the air, like the camera he currtly had.

"My apologies. An action camera is oft designed for a PoV point IRL, so it should be worn on the forehead and has no time to follow the user automatically. This camera is called Action Pro , and it's the best action camera with an affordable price of $3,500. It can record up to 8K 40FPS."

"The wireless microphone has a noise reduction function that can be set manually. It can pick up the smallest sound, like wind and running water. The price for this DJ Microphone is $,50. How would you like to proceed, customer?"

The total would be $4,650.

'It's too expsive!' He screamed in his mind.

However, this was also an investmt. It would be worth it.

"I'll buy them both." He said. "Please sd them to my address tomorrow."

The employee's smile broaded, "Thank you for your purchase! That would be $4,700 with the drone fee!"

Max finished the transaction while holding back his tears. Money left in the bank: $,700.

'I am poor again.' He sighed and contemplated his fate as a streamer.

Why did he like to be one? He wondered.
