In the Underworld, I Became a God by Live-Streaming Gossip

As a guide in the Underworld, You Yunyi's job is to listen to the grievances of souls every day and help them resolve their obsessions. Recently, the Underworld introduced modern office practices, setting up a live-streaming room in You Yunyi's office, making it visible to all souls in the Underworld and those on the verge of death in the mortal realm. You Yunyi thought, "It's even harder to slack off at work now.jpg" Although he could "eat melon" (gossip), after thousands of years of gossiping, mortal affairs were long since nothing new... yet the audience in the live-stream room seemed to really enjoy watching.

Ghost One: "It wasn't easy to save up some money at home, so when I got sick, I didn't get treatment. I had to save the money for my husband and children's future lives. I've been queuing in the Underworld for three years, and I don't know how my husband and children are doing. Sir, please help me check, and ideally, send them a dream telling them not to miss me and to live good lives." You Yunyi comforted her, "Don't worry, you died at the beginning of the month, and your ex-husband remarried at the end of the month. He had a new child before the New Year. Your children are also doing well; they're working like oxen and horses instead of going to school, so they won't starve to death, and they don't have time to miss you." In a hospital ward in the mortal realm, a woman about to give up treatment exclaimed, "...I'll get treatment! I'll get treatment even if it bankrupts me!"

Ghost Two: "My boyfriend actually dared to cheat! I jumped straight from his balcony, he must be regretting it bitterly!" You Yunyi nodded, "He regrets letting you into his home, causing his family's property value and that of the entire community to fall. That's why he made a huge scene at your funeral, making your dad suffer a cerebral hemorrhage from anger and your mom cry her eyes blind. He even regretted not making a bigger fuss, so he continues to spread rumors online that you were the one who cheated." On a rooftop in the mortal realm, a heartbroken person about to step off retreated, "...I immediately pulled my leg back and gave that scumbag a big kick."

Ghost Three: "I died so unjustly! I saw a fresh fish next to the trash heap and thought it was a waste, so I picked it up and cooked it. Who knew that thing was a pufferfish! Was I wrong for being thrifty?" You Yunyi chimed in, "No, you weren't wrong. To retrieve that fish, you even deliberately climbed over someone's yard wall. You weren't just thrifty; you were practically living a life of hardship." In the mortal realm, a hand reaching out to secretly grab some meat from a neighbor's house, rumored to be soaked in rat poison to kill mice, silently withdrew.

You Yunyi was frail in life, and after death, his soul was too weak to be reborn, so he could only work as a guide to accumulate merit. However, merit was hard to earn, and You Yunyi, after a thousand years on the job, had long given up. Yet, one day after a live stream, he was suddenly notified that he had accumulated enough merit! You Yunyi was pleasantly surprised, "Can I finally get off work and be reborn?" The King of Hell kindly said, "No, you've been promoted to a permanent employee of the Underworld." You Yunyi, an outsourced worker for a thousand years, was speechless. The Underworld has limited positions, and becoming a permanent employee meant being able to consume incense offerings to strengthen one's physique, which was much harder than getting a chance at rebirth. The King of Hell encouraged You Yunyi to continue working hard and shine in his role!

After becoming a permanent employee, You Yunyi could hear sounds from the mortal realm, and only then did he realize that many dying people who had watched his live streams had burned a lot of incense for him. [Hello, Lord Death of the live-stream room, thank you for stopping me before I jumped off the bridge...] [Please, Lord Death, show your divine power, is my dog who passed away years ago down there? Can I connect with him on a live call?] [Lord Death, when will you live stream checking the Book of Life and Death? Please, please!] His colleagues in the Underworld all expressed their support for You Yunyi's live stream room: "With the 'Lord Death' live stream room, our workload has significantly decreased!" You Yunyi was speechless.
