Dead silence.
The only sounds in the rented room were the crunching of Ye Meier eating chicken cutlet and Zhang Shaozhong's heavy, desperate breathing.
After a long pause, Zhang Shaozhong finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth: "It's...it's sealed off..."
Ye Meier swallowed the meat in her mouth, puzzled:
"What does 'banned' mean? Does it mean I can't broadcast anymore? Why?! I haven't even had a chance to perform yet!"
She was still quite eager for more.
"On what grounds?"
Zhang Shaozhong suddenly raised his head, his eyes red, and he no longer cared about being afraid.
"Just because you, sir, were going to 'kill her with a single palm strike from a distance'! Just because that fairy's gaze almost froze netizens through their screens!"
With all this temptation and threats in our livestream, it's practically become a legal hotspot! Who else should be shut down if not us?!
He became more and more agitated as he spoke, waving his phone around:
"Twenty-four hours! A whole day! And this will definitely affect our future traffic! You still want to make money? Forget about it!"
Ling Qingxue glanced at him coldly. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning in her eyes was clear: such a vulgar place is better left unbroadcast.
Night Enchantress knew she was in the wrong, but she still stubbornly insisted:
"Hmph, who told that scoundrel to spew such foul language! In the past, I would have chopped him up and fed him to the dogs!"
"Before! Look at things now, sister! Things are different now!"
Zhang Shaozhong was on the verge of a breakdown.
"We're poor and lack ambition, skinny and long-haired! We have to keep our tails between our legs and behave like humans! No, like immortals! Like demons!"
He slumped back down, clutching his head.
"It's over... Uncle Chen is still waiting for the money... This live-streaming business is going to fail..."
A profound sense of powerlessness enveloped him.
This won't work, that won't work, are we really at our wits' end?
Just then, Ling Qingxue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke:
"Just now... what was the value of the 'sports car' that person mentioned?"
Zhang Shaozhong answered listlessly:
"A sports car... in real money, would be about a hundred yuan or so."
"Over a hundred yuan?"
Ling Qingxue seemed to be deep in thought.
"Just by smiling, you can get it?"
"Theoretically, yes... but that kind of money is a hot potato! And look, this is how things went wrong, isn't it?"
Zhang Shaozhong sighed repeatedly.
"What if...we ignore those petty scoundrels and just show...something ordinary?"
Ling Qingxue carefully considered her words.
"For example, what you mentioned before, drinking tea?"
Zhang Shaozhong was taken aback and looked up:
"Fairy, do you mean... we'll still broadcast it?"
Ling Qingxue frowned slightly, clearly struggling internally, but ultimately said coldly:
"Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Since this path may be the only way to quickly acquire wealth, we must not abandon it due to temporary setbacks. We only need to establish rules that anyone who speaks rudely should be ignored; there is no need to get angry."
Although she was looking at Zhang Shaozhong when she said this, her eyes glanced at Ye Meier.
Upon hearing that there was still hope, Ye Meier immediately perked up:
"Yes, yes, yes! That hypocrite is right this time! Next time, I... I'll just ignore those flies! We'll earn our living through our own abilities! With this face and this figure, how could we possibly starve?"
Looking at the two big shots, one enduring humiliation for the sake of the greater good, and the other rekindling his fighting spirit for a meal, Zhang Shaozhong felt a mix of emotions.
But it must be said that their willingness to keep trying means there is still a glimmer of hope.
“But… the live stream was shut down for 24 hours,” Zhang Shaozhong pointed out the practical problem.
"Then let's wait!"
Ye Meier slapped her thigh.
"Let's think about what to broadcast next! We can't just sit around drinking tea and eating, can we? We need to have something special!"
A unique skill?
Zhang Shaozhong looked at the two of them.
Ling Qingxue's special skill is cultivating immortality and refining qi, but it's useless now. Is she supposed to meditate live on air?
Who's going to watch this?!
Ye Meier's specialty was seductive murder, but that's no longer an option. Is she supposed to just flirt on stream? She'll probably get banned again!
"How about... you perform a talent?"
Zhang Shaozhong asked tentatively,
"For example...sword dancing?"
He recalled scenes from period dramas.
"sword?"
Ling Qingxue's eyes lit up, but then dimmed. "No sword. Even if I had one, I couldn't use it here."
Ye Meier also pouted: "What I'm good at isn't that kind of fancy sword dance."
The path to talent is also blocked.
The three of them fell into deep thought again.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Zhang Shaozhong's mind!
He suddenly looked at Ling Qingxue!
"Fairy! You...did you just...release a chill? When that 'worldly wanderer' said those outrageous things, I think I got a chill!"
Ling Qingxue was taken aback, then nodded slightly:
"In a moment of anger, I failed to control my temper. Though it was insignificant, in this world, perhaps..."
"Insignificant? Insignificant? That's enough!"
Zhang Shaozhong jumped up excitedly.
"Special effects! These are all-natural, additive-free, and real special effects! This kind of amazing stuff is all the rage in live streaming these days!"
He then looked at Ye Meier:
"Big sister! Could you... could you... just... um... release a little bit of that... heart-pounding feeling? Just a tiny bit, that's all!"
Night Enchantress raised an eyebrow:
"Charm? With this little bit of power, it might barely affect mortals, but the range is so small... Oh~"
She understood, and a sly smile appeared on her face. "You little rascal, you're pretty quick-witted!"
Zhang Shaozhong rubbed his hands excitedly:
"Next time we do a live stream, let's use this banner! 【Stunningly beautiful sisters, possessing extraordinary abilities!】Fairy, you can occasionally release some cold air and create some icy mist effects!"
