Zhang Shaozhong was genuinely excited for several days after helping that reckless streamer "Brother Daredevil" recover his soul from an abandoned hospital. He earned 100,000 yuan as a "hardship fee."

But this money, it's like it grew wings, it flew away before you could even warm it up.

Looking at his dwindling balance in his mobile banking app, Zhang Shaozhong was so worried he started pulling his hair out.

We've only had a few days of peace? The economic crisis, that vicious wolf, is already lurking at the door again!

That evening, Zhang Shaozhong cooked a pot of clear soup noodles, added some greens and an egg, and made do with that.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit somber.

Ye Meier poked at the noodles in her bowl, looking disgusted.

"Kid, are we broke again? The food we're eating these days is getting worse and worse. Back in the day, when I was a big shot, I ate all sorts of delicacies..."

Ling Qingxue ate quietly, but it was clear that she wasn't very interested in the simple meal; her manners prevented her from saying anything.

Zhang Shaozhong sighed and put down his chopsticks: "Gentlemen, we need to talk. The money is almost gone."

Ye Meier's eyes widened:

"All spent? Didn't you just earn 100,000? Is money here so easily spent?"

"Sister, do you think 100,000 is a lot?"

Zhang Shaozhong counted on his fingers as he explained to her, "ID card, rent, daily expenses, and the endless stream of packages from you two... I've been very careful with my budget to have managed to stay this long on 100,000 yuan!"

Ling Qingxue pondered for a moment before speaking, "Living off our savings is not a long-term solution. We must find a way to increase our income."

The books she's been reading lately have mentioned a lot of basic economics.

"yes!"

Ye Meier slammed her hand on the table, perking up. "Let's find a few more unlucky guys like 'Brother Daredevil' and help them ward off evil spirits. Then the money will come, won't it?"

She thought this business would be extremely profitable.

Looking at the pitiful balance in his mobile banking account, Zhang Shaozhong paced back and forth in the living room, looking as troubled as a donkey pulling a millstone.

Ye Meier, with her legs crossed, said irritably while applying her newly bought nail polish, "Kid, stop wandering around there, you're making me dizzy! If you're short of money, find a way to earn it. What's the use of just worrying?"

Although Ling Qingxue did not speak, she looked up from her book "Principles of Macroeconomics" and cast an inquiring glance.

Clearly, the fairy also understood the principle that "the economic base determines the superstructure".

Zhang Shaozhong abruptly stopped, clapped his hands, and his eyes gleamed with a mixture of desperation and excitement:

"I've got it! I've come up with a brilliant idea! It leverages both of your strengths, is relatively safe, and makes money quickly!"

"Oh?" Ye Meier became interested and put down her nail polish. "Tell me quickly! Did you find out which unlucky soul has gone missing again?"

"No, no, no," Zhang Shaozhong waved his hands repeatedly, leaning closer and lowering his voice.

"Let's look at it from a different angle. The incident with Brother Bold gave us an insight. There are far more people in this world who are curious about, and even deeply believe in, mysterious things than we imagine!"

Ling Qingxue frowned slightly: "You want to return to your old profession and specialize in exorcising evil spirits? This is not the right path and is likely to cause trouble."

"Fairy, please don't be impatient, let me finish!"

Zhang Shaozhong pulled up a chair, sat down, and began to describe his grand plan.

"We won't actively seek out trouble; we'll let trouble... uh, no, let the 'customers' come to us!"

He took out his phone and opened a live streaming app: "Let's continue the live stream!"

We'll be live-streaming exorcisms and feng shui consultations! Our ultimate goal, however, is to take orders offline!

"Taking orders offline?" the two bigwigs asked in unison.

"Yes!" Zhang Shaozhong lowered his voice, as if he were talking about some top-secret matter.

"It's just about helping people solve some 'practical problems'! Although the spiritual energy in this world is depleted, and we can't use grand spells like flying, escaping, or moving mountains and seas, the spiritual senses and perceptions of these two big shots far surpass those of us ordinary people, right?"

He looked at Ling Qingxue: "Fairy, are you particularly sensitive to auras and the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the environment? For example, do you know whether a place makes you feel comfortable or not, or whether it has any 'bad luck'?"

Ling Qingxue pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That is indeed the case. The flow of energy, the obscurity of good or bad fortune, all have their own mechanisms."

Zhang Shaozhong then looked at Ye Meier: "Big sister, are you particularly sensitive to negative energy or unclean things?"

Night Enchantress proudly raised her chin: "Nonsense! Back in the day, I was an expert at dealing with all sorts of evil spirits and demons! Even now, though I'm down on my luck, sensing some foul energy is a piece of cake!"

"That's right!"

Zhang Shaozhong said excitedly, "Let's take advantage of this! We'll build a persona through online live streaming to attract fans. Then, we'll take on some small jobs on the side!"

For example, helping wealthy people with feng shui and adjusting their home layout to bring good fortune and avoid misfortune;

Or if someone feels uneasy, we can go and "ward off evil spirits and bring peace"; or even help someone find lost important items... These things shouldn't be difficult for you two, right?"

Ye Meier was overjoyed: "This is great! This is more interesting than live streaming! And those rich people believe in this the most, so we can set the price high! Kid, you have a good business sense!"

Ling Qingxue still had reservations: "This is not the right path. Isn't it just like a charlatan swindling people?"

"Oh, my fairy!"

Zhang Shaozhong quickly explained, "We're not lying! We really are capable! It's just that our abilities can't be explained by science, so we can only use metaphysics to describe them!"

What we call... providing 'emotional value' and 'environmental optimization services' for our clients! As long as we can truly help people and make them feel they've gotten their money's worth, or even more, then it's not a scam!
