It was March, a time of warm spring sunshine. A light, continuous rain fell. Deep within the antique street of Yangcheng, inside the Shundao Hall.
“Old man, now that my junior sister is seriously ill, I have no choice but to break my promise to you and graduate to become a feng shui master to earn money to treat her illness.”
Zhang Tianle, dressed in a Taoist robe, held up three incense sticks, bowed to the spirit tablet on the altar, and then placed the incense sticks in the incense burner.
He, Zhang Tianle, lost both his parents at a young age and was adopted by his master. He followed his master to learn Taoist magic. Three months ago, his master passed away, leaving him and his junior sister to depend on each other for survival.
A week ago, my junior colleague suddenly fainted and was diagnosed with leukemia, which requires expensive treatment.
Before his death, the master told him not to do feng shui for people, so he changed the feng shui shop into a paper craft shop and made a living by selling paper crafts.
The moment he looked up at his master's memorial tablet, a wave of dizziness washed over him.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully binding with the Metaphysics Master System.]
[Host has received a newbie gift pack!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Heavenly Mantra! (Note: It allows you to see the past and future, change your destiny according to Heaven's will, and have all your wishes fulfilled.)]
[Congratulations, host, you have gained 1 year of lifespan!]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Heavenly Dao Compass!]
[In this degenerate age, the Way of Heaven is waning, people's hearts are restless, and natural and man-made disasters are frequent. Host, please act in accordance with Heaven's will and use metaphysical arts to bring order to the world.]
[Task: Use all means to promote metaphysics, get more people to believe in it, and gain 1000 popularity points. When you have 100,000 popularity points, you can exchange them for a Rebirth Pill that can cure all diseases. (Note: 1 popularity point represents 1 person)]
He listened to the mechanical, cold voice issuing the mission, and the sudden appearance of the technique in his mind that he instantly mastered.
He glanced at his master's memorial tablet with a strange expression: "Old man, are you kidding me?"
The old man forbade him to practice feng shui for others because he believed that if he became a feng shui master and practiced feng shui for others, it would shorten his lifespan.
That's why the master forbade him from choosing auspicious dates or consulting feng shui for others.
But now, just as he was preparing to earn money by doing feng shui for others to save his junior sister, the system appeared and even rewarded him with an extra year of lifespan.
Most importantly, the system promised that when he gained 100,000 popularity points, he could exchange them for a Rebirth Pill.
Suppressing his excitement, Zhang Tianle asked the system, "System, can this Rebirth Pill cure my junior sister's leukemia?"
[Yes. The compass has been delivered. Please check it.]
As the system's voice faded, a golden light burst forth on the altar in front of him, and his gaze immediately fell upon the mahogany compass that had appeared on the altar.
Actually, he was still somewhat suspicious of the system's appearance just now, wondering if it was a hallucination caused by his desperate desire to earn money to save his junior sister.
But the compass in front of us is real.
The existence of the compass means the existence of the system, and it also means that if he does as the system says, he can exchange the Rebirth Pill to save his junior sister as long as he reaches 100,000 popularity points.
His breathing suddenly became rapid.
He quickly forced himself to calm down.
A popularity score of 1000 represents 1000 people, while a popularity score of 100,000 means that 100,000 people need to believe in him.
This is not a simple number. To be precise, if we consider the number of people who normally practice feng shui and the speed at which information spreads, he could never reach 100,000 in his lifetime.
Therefore, he had to use a special method to achieve this value.
And right now, the easiest way to make a name for yourself is through live streaming!
He immediately took out his phone and registered a live streaming account on the Xianyin live streaming platform.
Walking into the master's room, which was filled with an aura of metaphysics, I entered the name of the live stream:
The fortune teller charges 3000 per person! No exceptions, he'll pay you back 3000!
After entering the information, he placed his phone on the phone stand on the table and began his live streaming journey.
At the same time, the system's electromechanical voice sounded in his ear:
[Driving traffic to the host!]
While he was live streaming, a beautiful female streamer with 100,000 followers started her own live stream on the platform: "Good morning, everyone. Today we're going to do something new. YOYO has decided to expose some fake news online. Now let me randomly select a lucky viewer."
As soon as YOYO finished speaking, the screen was immediately flooded with gifts and messages from fans:
Good morning, YOYO! Who are you planning to prank today?!
Ten spaceships immediately appeared on the screen.
[Holy crap! Midnight is awesome! He just spammed 10 spaceships right from the start.]
Let's quickly welcome the next victim!
【Ah, I'm so excited!】
...
YOYO's gaze fell upon the 10 spaceships that appeared on the screen, and a smile appeared on her delicate face. Just then, she stumbled upon Zhang Tianle's live stream.
She muttered, "The master's fortune telling costs 3000 yuan per session, and he's not allowed to lose 3000 yuan!" Tsk tsk, interesting. What era are we living in? Still indulging in feudal superstition. I happen to have researched the tricks of these fake masters before. Babies, watch how I expose this master today!
As she spoke, she clicked into the live stream.
The fans in the live stream also got to see Zhang Tianle's live stream room.
As soon as I saw the name of the live stream, I started complaining.
[Holy crap! Live fortune telling for 3,000 yuan a session? What kind of fortune telling is this?! It's way too expensive, I might as well just rob someone!]
【YOYO, be careful, don't get scammed!】
[Speaking of which, if everyone forgets about the money, hasn't anyone noticed how handsome this streamer is?]
