Greatest Streamer System

"Father, Mother. Welcome." StoneSword, or Peter greeted them courtly. Rebecca also curtsied beside him, greeting them with a smile.

"Peter… How have you been?" Scott asked curiously without changing his expression.

"I am fine. Thank you for asking, Father."

"That's good. Don't work too hard. Use your subordinates well and have enough rest." Nicole added.

"I will remember that, Mother."

As they conversed, Max approached them with Lily. Even when StoneSword had already accepted him, his status was after all still Lily's boyfriend and not her fiance yet. He had no formal position in the family and had to be introduced.

"Welcome, Father, Mother." Lily also greeted them, bowing while holding her skirt like a noble in the past.

"Hmm, you're also here, Lily," Scott said before turning his attention to Max, who clearly stood next to him. "And is he…"

The man didn't finish his sentence and waited for Lily. She noticed it and continued.

"Yes, he's my partner."

That was Max's cue.

"My name is Max Charles. Pleased to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Spencer." He bowed slightly to show his respect toward them.

Scott cast his narrowed eyes on him. Looking straight at them, Max didn't budge down and was determined not to look away. That would be disrespectful toward the man.

After a while, the Spencer family head nodded. He put on a flat expression again, but the wife smiled softly at Max and said.

"Take care of our daughter."

"I will do my best," Max responded and saw them leave.

StoneSword followed them quickly and left Max and Lily alone, but not before whispering something.

"Great job. Now you can just enjoy the party with Lily."

That was… underwhelming but nerve-wracking.

'Did that mean I passed their judgment?'

And… They didn't seem to be indifferent toward Lily. Scott was more like…

'Awkward. And Nicole seemed to care about Lily but couldn't express it in words.'

"We did it, Max." Lily smiled brightly as she got close to him.

"Yes, we did." He answered and smiled back at her.

It ended just like that, right?

***

There was nothing to do but enjoy the party as it continued. Scott and Nicole were talking about businesses with the relatives and guests. As the heir, StoneSword also joined the conversation.

Meanwhile, Max and Lily escaped to another room to rest. This room was provided for the guests in case they were overwhelmed. And they were pretty much tired already. When StoneSword left, many people took that advantage to try and get close to Lily.

Max did his job pretty well at making those people retreat. He used his old knowledge to deal with them by flattering them to the point they felt uncomfortable.

"Phew, that was tiring." Max sighed as he threw himself on the couch, popped open a cold can of cola, and drank it.

"Good job, Max. And thank you for protecting me." Lily sat close to him slowly. Her dress limited her movement quite a bit even when it was designed to make sure the wearer wasn't uncomfortable.

"You look pretty experienced at dealing with people like them."

"Well…" He smiled wryly at her, unable to find an honest answer without telling her about his past life. So, he had to get creative. "I just did what I think makes me uncomfortable. And that actually worked. I was a bit surprised, honestly."

"I see." Lily nodded innocently, believing what he said.

Max felt a little bit guilty for lying, but he had no choice.

Anyway, all the burdens he felt before were lifted. The quest hadn't arrived yet, but he could wait without worrying about it being a difficult one… He hoped.

Ding!

As if responding to his wish, a notification rang in his ear. It was the kind of notification that excited him, as it came from the system and not his smartwatch.

<Quest:

- I Am the Best! Aren't I?

Are you the best? Prove it!

A newbie streamer with less than 3 months of experience has no way to gain a sponsor. Get 3 sponsors before the deadline to prove your capability. Proof that you are the best!

Progress: 0/3

Reward: Funds to create a streamer event. Max $500,000.

Deadline: 0/7 days

Failure will result in bad rumors about yourself spreading in Strike and other social media.>

Max didn't know whether he should feel lucky that the quest was to gather a sponsor or feel miserable that the quest was exactly this. This was probably the hardest quest he had ever received.

But the reward… He couldn't miss this.

'Fund to create my own streamer event… I just muttered that in passing, but the system caught it?' He wondered, holding his chin as he stared at the screen. 'And why is the progress 0? Haven't I already had a deal with Miracle Boutique? Is it because we have no contract yet? That must be the case.'

"Max?" Lily called out to him, wondering what he was thinking. He looked so serious all of a sudden. "Is there something wrong?"

"Yeah, there is something that bothered me a little," Max answered without hiding his inner distress.

"I suddenly remembered when I calmed down. I wanted to hold a large event for my viewers, but I have no funds. To get funds, I need to get at least 3 sponsors. I already secured one, so I just need to find the other two."

"Sponsors… Is that what worried you?"

"Yes." Max nodded, "And I can't choose carelessly too."

Even though it was for a quest, he didn't want to seek a sponsor purely just to finish the quest. No. If possible, he'd like to have a sponsor who supported him and was active at events and the other so they would invite him to perform. Explore more adventures at empire

'Finding a random sponsor will be left in the last 3 days. I will do my best in the first four days to get a good sponsor.'

He told what was in his mind to Lily and she understood what he meant. Then, she gave him an idea.

"Why don't you ask my brother this? He's acquainted with many companies. I believe he can give you some advice."

That… might be a good idea. Max decided to keep that in mind and ask StoneSword later.

'I hope he has a recommendation. I don't want to impose on him and make him think that I want to use him. That will go against my principles and my words.'
