Lu Yao was once a powerful National Seer, but due to a conspiracy, she was suppressed for a thousand years by nine soul-镇魂碑 (soul-suppressing steles).
Upon awakening, she became a "...
Chapter 26 Regrouping
Although Wei Nanjun is only twenty-two years old, he is already the father of a three-year-old child.
When he was in vocational high school, the impetuous young Wei Nanjun fell in love with Zhong Ke'er, a girl in his class.
They unknowingly ate the forbidden fruit.
Neither set of parents had much education and lacked proper guidance in their children's upbringing.
The incident was not handled properly after it occurred.
And so, even though neither of them was of legal marriage age, a baby was born unexpectedly.
Wei Nanjun and Zhong Ke'er became parents without really understanding what was going on.
His grades were already poor, and in order to earn money for his child's milk powder, he did not continue his studies after graduation, but instead devoted himself to making money in society.
Fortunately, Wei Nanjun has some talent in games, plays them very well, and has several national championship titles.
With this skill, he became a game streamer.
In the virtual game, Wei Nanjun strives to showcase his gaming skills. He is also quite handsome, and thus gradually accumulates a considerable number of fans through live streaming.
In particular, he also hooked up with Yao Muling, a young, beautiful, and wealthy woman.
Yao Muling is not only outstanding in appearance, but also devoted in love.
Since meeting Wei Nanjun, she has given herself to him without reservation.
For her, money was nothing more than a tool to realize her lover's dreams.
As long as Wei Nanjun asks, she will generously give him money without hesitation.
They were solely focused on helping him achieve his seemingly unattainable e-sports dream.
What man wouldn't be moved by such passionate and pure love?
Wei Nanjun was no exception.
Therefore, Wei Nanjun skillfully maneuvered between the two women, deceiving both of them.
On Yao Muling's side, he fully enjoyed her strong support, and the club's resources and funds were continuously poured into him.
With Zhong Ke'er, he accepted her meticulous care for the family without any qualms.
According to Wei Nanjun, Yao Muling is a conservative, old-fashioned, and scheming middle-aged rich woman.
Every time he mentioned Yao Muling in front of Zhong Ke'er, he was filled with righteous indignation, recounting how he righteously rejected her inappropriate requests and how he endured humiliation in this "difficult" environment for the sake of his e-sports dream.
Zhong Ke'er believed him wholeheartedly and hoped that he could make a name for himself in the world of e-sports.
The Spring Split has begun as scheduled.
On the day of the competition, Zhong Ke'er dressed up carefully to surprise Wei Nanjun and brought her son to the venue to cheer him on.
I hope to be there to witness his glorious moment from the audience.
Yao Muling was also in the same location.
Dressed head to toe in luxury designer brands, her eyes were fixed on the competition, eagerly anticipating her team's victory, and she didn't notice Zhong Ke'er in the audience.
Wei Nanjun stood on the stage.
He was already nervous, but when he saw Zhong Ke'er and Yao Muling in the same frame, his face turned pale instantly.
Feeling guilty, his eyes darted around nervously, and his hand movements became completely distorted; his once skillful pursuit techniques now appeared utterly rusty.
In this crucial match, his first appearance on the track ended in a disastrous three-race defeat.
The audience gasped in surprise, and some began to whisper among themselves.
Wei Nanjun felt utterly humiliated.
He felt that everyone in the audience was looking at him with mockery and ridicule.
He was actually a newcomer, and the audience could understand his mistakes; they were just feeling sorry for him.
In the following second and third games, Wei Nanjun's mentality completely collapsed.
Everyone could see that Wei Nanjun had completely reached the level of red warmth.
His face flushed red with anger and shame, and his performance worsened, with one mistake after another.
Wei Nanjun, who was originally highly anticipated, has now become the fuse for the team's defeat.
CROWN's failure is a foregone conclusion.
Lu Yao accurately interpreted all of this from the hexagram.
[That's amazing! The cause and effect were calculated perfectly. No wonder he's a master who could easily defeat Xuancheng!]
OMG, [By Your Side] and that other guy's wife and kids are so pitiful!
After listening to Lu Yao's words, Yao Muling sat there in a daze, remaining silent for a long time.
After a long while, she slowly came to her senses, her voice hoarse, "Thank you, Master Qiannian."
After saying that, she quickly tapped on her phone screen.
With a few quick swipes, ten carnival gifts burst forth in the live stream like dazzling fireworks.
The special effects filled the entire screen, dazzling the audience.
Lu Yao knew that the Carnival was the most expensive gift at the concert.
But she doesn't yet have a clear understanding of the prices of goods in this era.
However, Yao Muling was wealthy and generous, so she accepted it without hesitation.
After all, in this unfamiliar world, having money is essential to plan for the future.
"You're welcome. What do you plan to do?" Lu Yao asked softly.
Yao Muling pondered for a moment, her eyes gradually hardening. "There are still three months until the Spring Split. I plan to rebuild the team. It should still be in time. If anyone has suitable candidates, please recommend them to me. The compensation I offer is definitely among the best in all clubs."
Wow, boss, let me recommend my favorite up-and-coming streamer! His skills are definitely better than that guy named Nan Jun!
[Boss, boss, look at me! I've topped the charts, I have two national standard skills, and I'm currently a sophomore in college. Can I message you to chat?]
Yao Muling looked at the comments carefully and responded to each one: "Okay, send me a resume."
Lu Yao was very pleased to see that she was not discouraged by Wei Nanjun's deception, and smiled slightly.
"Alright, friends, that's all for today. I'm going to bed now."
As Lu Yao spoke, she yawned.
The screen was flooded with comments in the blink of an eye, and the audience was clearly very excited. The series of question marks seemed to express their disbelief.
【What?! You've only been broadcasting for an hour!!】
【Wow, you've only done one fortune telling, huh?!】
【Hey streamer, can you please look up and see how many people are watching? 50,000!! Are you really going to end the stream?!】
"How could you be so heartless?" Lu Yao said bluntly.
In her previous life, at the height of her fame, she was renowned and powerful.
Even if it were the most noble emperor, she might not agree to have his fortune told.
In her eyes, fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting clouds, so how could she be swayed by the popularity of this live broadcast room?
[Forget it, someone like a streamer is probably a reclusive master, they certainly wouldn't care about these material things.]
[Can the streamer go live earlier tomorrow? I wish I could be chosen...]
The commenters gave up in disappointment and could only reluctantly say goodbye to Lu Yao.
"Then see you tomorrow."
Lu Yao waved to the camera, but just as she was about to click the end-of-stream button, she suddenly remembered something important.
She tilted her head slightly and blinked. "Oh, by the way, everyone can keep an eye on the news tomorrow. There should be a result regarding the Li Guang murder case."
After leaving those words, Lu Yao simply logged off.
The game that Yao Muling and the others were playing looked quite interesting to her, and she wanted to download it and try it out.
