Chapter 78 Becoming famous
For the next hour, the entire live broadcast room was filled with screams. The most amazing thing was that every contestant who had experienced the "Cyber Haunted House" project was pale after it was over, as if they had seen the most terrifying scene in their life. But when asked in detail what they had seen, no one could say it.
So, those who suspected that these people were shills also tried it, and in the end they got the same result.
Xiaoyu: smile.jpg, it’s exactly the same as my experience.
Soon it was time to move bricks again, and the live broadcast of "Shushan Training Camp" quickly switched to the appearance route.
The handsome guy with ancient style that Xiaoyu has been thinking about appears as a background board, but after being "comforted" by Li Xiaogou, she is now free from all desires and is in the stage of abstinence.
Only after closing the live broadcast room did I see a long string of messages from my best friend on my phone.
Xiaoyu's face was slightly stern. She had just been so excited by the atmosphere in the live broadcast room that she impulsively spoke out her secret. She had completely forgotten that she had sent the link to her best friend.
Didn’t her best friend also hear what she said?
Her heart was pounding, and Xiaoyu decided to face her best friend's reaction head-on.
As a result, her best friend didn't blame her at all, and instead complained to her about the scumbag.
Woo woo woo, a good turtle is still the best.
Xiaoyu immediately ordered a bouquet of Blue Roses and sent it to her bestie's office. We can be self-sufficient in flowers and bread!
With the motivation to make money, the afternoon brick-moving time is not so difficult to endure.
The work was completed with unprecedented efficiency, even saving the trouble of overtime.
Xiaoyu packed up her things and prepared to go home when she suddenly heard a familiar voice in her ears.
Li Xiaogou?
She turned around stiffly.
A blank.
She let out a long sigh - what nonsense! Even if Li Xiaogou was a person with superpowers, he wouldn't be able to fly to her city with a somersault cloud and appear in her office just by chance.
Wait, that sound...
The next second, Xiaoyu heard a more familiar voice...
Her own voice.
I dropped my half-packed bag and ran to the next workstation to see that my colleague was actually watching her live slicing at noon!
"Would you like to watch it together?" a colleague greeted enthusiastically.
Xiaoyu's mouth twitched: "What is this?"
"It's going viral online. I just started watching it too. You know Li Xiaogou, right? Turns out he's also a psychic. He seems to be even more powerful than that deputy director. He can figure out a person's whole story just by looking at them."
"Really? Haha, maybe that's an exaggeration."
"I thought so at first, but judging by the reactions of the people online, it should be true. Oh, and I think this person's voice is a bit like yours. Give it a listen."
"Ah—I suddenly remembered that my water pipe exploded. I must rush home immediately."
Xiaoyu quickly stuffed the things into her bag and ran out. In a moment, she disappeared.
A colleague looked at her from behind and muttered, "Am I the only one working overtime tonight?"

The signboard of "Shushan Training Camp" spread quickly on the short video platform like a virus.
The video clips of Jiang Mu, Li Xiaogou and Wang Bo all received an exaggerated million likes in just one day.
Li Xiaogou already has a reputation and a fan base, so this achievement is very strong but not surprising.
On the contrary, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Mu and Wang Bo appeared out of nowhere.
The word "superpower" was also mentioned crazily with their appearance.
[Are superpowers distributed based on appearance? ]
I have to say I'm jealous. How come some people have everything? This is unfair. I want to complain!
[Upstairs, I heard there's a psychic in Li Xiaogou's team, and they'll be able to connect tomorrow. You can ask him to help you communicate with Meng Po and make good arrangements for your next life.]
[Is this true? Never mind. I don't feel so bad anymore all of a sudden. I'm afraid Meng Po will just arrange my next life.]
The commotion was so loud that the authorities soon noticed it.
The identities of those with special abilities have just been made public. Although the relevant management regulations have been operating privately for a long time, ordinary people do not understand these. Now, when doing anything about ordinary people with special abilities, we must consider the impact of public opinion.
Yan Jiang, or rather, Mo Shang, suddenly found himself being held up.
He wanted to gain power, and some people wanted to use his influence, and everyone knew it. But when he stepped forward with power, he also exposed himself to the public eye.
If Li Xiaogou returns to the Special Investigation Bureau by surprise, Yan Jiang has a hundred ways to catch and kill him.
But Li Xiaogou chose a path he had never imagined.
"They've accumulated over 200,000 fans in just one day. I heard that quite a few psychics scattered across the country have come looking for them."
Yan Jiang sneered.
"We can't touch them for now. Let's wait and see what happens. Have someone monitor their livestreams daily. If there's any suspected violation, their livestreams will be immediately shut down. Besides that, we'll increase the Special Investigation Bureau's recruitment efforts and improve their salaries."
"But the funding from above hasn't arrived yet, and we don't have that much money..."
Yan Jiang raised his hand, and the man tactfully shut up.
"I'll take care of the money matters. Just follow my instructions."
Hearing the door closing, Yan Jiang stood up and walked to the window.
Long-term frowning left a crease in the middle of Mo Shang's eyebrows, which was out of tune with his young face.
Yan Jiang looked at the face in the mirror.
He had no idea about young people's aesthetic tastes, but the results of big data analysis told him that the face in front of him should belong to the popular category.
Coupled with the human gene of admiring the strong, his popularity should be higher than Li Xiaogou.
What went wrong?
*
In less than a week, the number of followers of the official Douyin account exceeded two million, which sparked a debate on the Internet about whether people with special abilities can obtain resources more easily than ordinary humans.
Li Xiaogou responded: "You're only realizing it now? How slow!"
However, such discussions quickly died down because they did not conform to mainstream views.
From beginning to end, the "Shushan Training Camp" did not express any inappropriate opinions and survived safely, which also made Yan Jiang more deeply understand Li Xiaogou's caution and vigilance.
Li Xiaogou focused most of his energy on operating the livestreaming room, and he, Jiang Mu, and Wang Bo gradually gained fame.
How popular are they? You can even find a lot of secondary creations about the three of them on the Internet.
The number of online viewers in the live broadcast room during holidays can reach over one million at most, and there can be hundreds of thousands of viewers at noon and in the evening on weekdays. Its influence cannot be underestimated.
During this period, there was no official response.
"No reaction itself is an attitude." Jiang Yao said.
Li Xiaogou also agreed that this was the official tacit approval of their existence. Or, to put it another way, temporarily allowing their existence.
However, there was one thing that gave Li Xiaogou a headache. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. After live streaming became popular, many people with special abilities who were not registered with the Special Investigation Bureau came to join them.
Having the opportunity to expand power is a good thing, but it is not easy to distinguish the composition of these people. Moreover, some of these people are unwilling to be constrained and have been hiding. It is also a troublesome matter to manage them after they are brought in.
Li Xiaogou's original arrangement was to hand these people over to Baili Meng.
But within two days, Baili Meng brought five people to him, three women and two men, saying that only Li Xiaogou could control them.
Li Xiaogou did not realize the seriousness of the matter until he was busy all day and returned to his room and lifted the quilt to find a person growing on the bed.
…
In this world, everyone has their own purpose in life. Some seek money, some seek power, and Li Xiaogou forgot that some simply seek sex.
These five were simply coming for him.
Baili Meng was happy to watch the fun and told people that there was no clause prohibiting love here and everyone should rely on their own abilities.
This "ability" is too terrifying.
It took a lot of effort to drive the person out. Just as he lay down, there was another knock on the door. He opened it and saw one of the three women. As soon as she saw his face, her big, watery eyes sparkled: "I knew it, you must be a straight man!"
Li Xiaogou: ...
"Whether I'm straight or not doesn't affect me. I don't have that kind of feelings for you."
“Emotions can be cultivated.”
“It can’t be cultivated.”
"How do you know if you haven't tried?"
Li Xiaogou wanted to say "I just know it", but this obviously could not make the girl in front of him retreat. What's more, even if the girl gave up, there were other people behind her.
He suddenly came up with a brilliant idea.
"Bai Li Meng, she hasn't told you about her special abilities, right?"
"No... Do you like her?"
"No, I don't like anyone, because Baili Meng has taken away all my emotions. Have you ever seen a fairy tale movie? The kind where they take away the emotions. Me, Wang Bo, and Jiang Mu, all three of us have had our emotions taken away, so it's impossible for us to fall in love with anyone."
The girl finally cried.
Li Xiaogou slept soundly. When he woke up the next day, he saw Baili Meng waving a whip in the yard. The soft whip became extremely powerful in her hand, hitting the ground with a snapping sound, and the ground immediately sank, leaving a dent.
He swallowed and suddenly felt his skin tighten.
"Pull out the love thread?"
Baili Meng walked towards him with a whip in hand.
"You were the one who encouraged them to attack me first... You are unkind and I am unjust."
Pop.
The whip hit the wall beside him, and the wall cracked instantly.
Baili Meng narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly: "I will only help you block it this time. If you don't want to attract admirers, then make your attitude clear as soon as possible."
Li Xiaogou thought it made sense.
During the live broadcast that day, he pulled Wang Bo, Jiang Mu and the other two together and announced to the live broadcast room that they had no intention of falling in love before their careers were successful, and asked everyone not to be infatuated with them.
But Li Xiaogou looked at the barrage of comments that flashed by quickly, and always felt that the effect seemed a little different from what he expected. Why did those people seem to be even more obsessed?
It was hard for him not to see the whole screen filled with [husband].
Baili Meng held his forehead and said: Idiot.
