Thanks to the unexpected support and forced cultural endorsement from the mysterious "Qingfeng Mingyue" big brother, things finally got a little better in the live streaming room.
Although that "professional anti-counterfeiting king" is still like a piece of chewed gum, occasionally sticking out to disgust people, he can no longer cause much of a stir.
Zhang Shaozhong counted his money on his fingers every day, watching as his live-streaming earnings, plus the money he had previously pawned for his bracelet, slowly approached that astronomical figure, like a snail climbing a tree.
It's a bit slow, but we're still making progress.
"At this rate, if we broadcast for another two or three months, maybe... we can actually raise enough money?"
Zhang Shaozhong looked at the numbers in his notebook with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety.
Two or three months is a long time, so please make sure nothing else goes wrong during this period.
What you fear most is what happens.
During the live broadcast, Ling Qingxue was leisurely "expounding the Great Dao" (actually a health rhyme rewritten by Zhang Shao), while Ye Meier was elegantly peeling lychees beside her.
Everything seemed calm and peaceful.
Suddenly, someone in the live chat exclaimed: "Holy crap! Look at the trending topics!"
"There's a guy on the other platform who's been livestreaming ghost hunting, and it looks like he's gone too far!"
"Really? Send me the link!"
Zhang Shaozhong's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.
He quickly used another phone to open the trending topics list, and saw a headline prominently displayed at the top:
#Outdoor streamer visits abandoned hospital late at night, live stream interrupted by heart-wrenching screams#
Clicking in, I found a streamer named "Brother Bold" who was livestreaming from a famous haunted abandoned hospital in the city last night. His equipment suddenly malfunctioned, the picture was static, and all that could be heard in the sound was a few distorted screams before the screen went completely black.
Now that they can't contact him, his fans are in an uproar. Some have called the police, while others are just watching the drama unfold.
Zhang Shaozhong felt a chill run down his spine.
He'd seen plenty of streamers courting death like this, most of them scripted, but this time... it felt a bit eerie.
He didn't pay much attention and was about to close the stream to continue watching his own live stream when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a popular comment:
"Breaking news! 'Brother Bold''s team just released a statement saying that he has been found, but he is unconscious in the hospital. The doctors say they can't find the cause, it seems like... he has lost his soul!"
They're offering a 100,000 yuan reward for anyone with special abilities to help summon the spirit! Is that for real?
One hundred thousand?!
Zhang Shaozhong's eyes widened instantly!
My heart started pounding uncontrollably!
One hundred thousand yuan! If we could get this money, the cost of getting the certificate would be solved immediately!
Why would I need to be on live stream every day, constantly having to read people's faces?!
Once the idea popped into my head, it grew wildly like weeds.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the two ancestors on the sofa.
One of them is a genuine fairy, although she's weak now, but dealing with a few wandering ghosts shouldn't be a problem, right?
One of them is a holy maiden of a demonic sect, who plays with souls and such—it sounds like a perfect match for her profession!
This...this is a money-making opportunity tailor-made for them!
Zhang Shaozhong was so excited that his hands were shaking. He couldn't care less about the live stream and quickly wrote "Something urgent, I have to end the live stream immediately" on a piece of paper. He hurriedly said to the camera, "Thank you for watching. I have something to do today and I'm ending the live stream early. See you tomorrow!" Ignoring the questions in the chat, he turned off the live stream.
"What are you doing?" Ye Meier was happily peeling lychees and was annoyed at being interrupted.
Ling Qingxue also cast an inquiring glance at her.
Zhang Shaozhong handed them the trending topics page on his phone, his voice trembling with excitement: "Look! Big deal! 100,000 yuan! 100,000 yuan!"
The two women came closer to look.
Ling Qingxue glanced at it and frowned slightly: "Playing tricks and trying to attract attention."
Ye Meier, however, became interested: "Soul loss? Soul summoning? Interesting! This sounds more exciting than a live stream!"
"It's more than just exciting! It's a perfect match for my major!"
Zhang Shaozhong spoke with great enthusiasm, "Fairy, don't you know that... Heart-Cleansing Mantra or something? It must be able to calm the soul and stabilize the spirit, right? Big sister, do you have any secret methods for summoning souls and guiding spirits?"
Let's go earn this 100,000 yuan, and our immigration status will be resolved immediately!
Ling Qingxue said coldly:
"The matter of the soul is no child's play. If it is true, it must involve evil and be extremely dangerous. We have only lost one-tenth of our cultivation. If we go there rashly, we may not be able to protect ourselves."
Night Enchantress, however, remained completely unconcerned:
"What's there to be afraid of? How fierce can a wandering ghost from the mortal realm be? Even if we're not strong enough right now, we still have the foundation! We'll scare it to death! Ten thousand yuan, kid! That's enough for so many spicy hot pot meals!"
Zhang Shaozhong was blinded by the prospect of 100,000 yuan and nodded repeatedly:
"Exactly! Big sister is right! We're not going to fight head-on, we're just going to check things out. If it works out, we'll make some money on the side; if not, we'll just run! That place is an abandoned hospital, no one will check our identities!"
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed:
"And this is a great opportunity! Not only can we make money, but we can also test how effective your recovered strength is in actual combat!"
Ling Qingxue remained frowning; she was cautious by nature and felt the matter was too risky.
But seeing Zhang Shaozhong and Ye Meier's eager expressions, and considering how much the reward would help solve their identity issues, she fell silent.
"A fairy!"
Zhang Shaozhong pressed his advantage, "Think about it, with an identity, you can openly seek out rare and precious materials or like-minded people to restore your strength! You won't have to stay cooped up in this little house anymore!"
These words struck a chord with Ling Qingxue.
She truly longed to regain her strength as soon as possible and return to her sect.
After a long silence, she finally spoke slowly: "If you want to go, we need to agree on three rules."
