Chapter 220 Closing the Reward Function
Lu Kai glanced at himself and then reverted to his usual self when he was on a mission.
The little girl turned around, jumped off the stool, and ran excitedly towards her father, "Dad, you've finally come to see us!"
The woman glanced at her daughter, then looked at the empty house. He wasn't there!
But when she blinked again, she found her man smiling at the two of them.
Lu Kai took two steps back, keeping a distance of two meters from them.
"Don't come any closer. My yin energy is very important, otherwise it will hurt you."
Niu Niu didn't understand what her father meant, so she raised her hand and scratched her ear. "Daddy, why did you take so long to come back? Mommy and I missed you so much."
Lu Kai's eyes were filled with tears. He didn't know how to speak; his death was already a foregone conclusion.
Seeing his wife and child like that every day, he didn't know what to do.
Perhaps for a fleeting moment he even felt a pang of regret, but once he put on that outfit, his eyes lit up.
The only people I feel sorry for are my wife and children. I can take care of everyone else, but I can't take care of my own family.
"Let's talk while we're standing here!"
The woman withdrew her outstretched hand. "Does it hurt?"
The man thought that once he was restored, others would no longer be able to see what he looked like when he died.
He glanced at himself. "It doesn't hurt. Honey, I'm so sorry. I've never been a part of our child's growth. I was planning to come back after the mission and celebrate our child's fourth birthday with you, but I broke my promise."
"The fire was extinguished, and we were all very careful. We didn't expect it to reignite. I couldn't let go of my longing for you all. After I left, my soul wandered and couldn't be reincarnated, so I've been staying around you all these days."
Seeing you cry every day, I long to hold you in my arms, but I can't!
I can only watch you suffer every day.
"So you burn all your merits just so you can stay with us a little longer."
"Wife, you..."
The man thought that if he could restore himself to his original appearance, his wife would not be able to see what he looked like when he died. He was completely stunned.
"How could someone who truly loves you not see the pain you're talking about? Seeing you again makes it all worthwhile."
"Honey, from now on you'll be taking care of the kids. Niu Niu, you need to be happy and stay with your mom, okay?"
Niu Niu shook her little head, not understanding what he meant. She was very happy to see her father again, even though he seemed to be resisting her getting close to him.
"Okay! Will Dad come to see us from time to time?"
Yes, it will!
[Lu Kai, I have to see you off now. Your time here is running out.]
Upon hearing Gu Yunxi's voice, Lu Kai nodded, said a few words to his wife and child, and then vanished in front of them like starlight.
As Gu Yunxi ate her dinner, she felt uneasy thinking about the divination she had just received.
In what may seem like an ordinary life, many people are unable to be with their families because of work or for their country.
There are too many righteous people, so even meals lose their flavor.
Fortunately, she found her family. Her five brothers and mother did not follow the original plot and got along very well with her.
As for that cheating father, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, I'll spare his life.
Gu Yan, on the other hand, fell into evil cultivation; she was always a menace.
If she comes to provoke me again, given that my strength is not what it used to be, it's not impossible for me to kill her instantly.
[Sigh! The master isn't speaking, isn't doing a live stream, and doesn't want to connect online. I wonder what's bothering him?]
Everyone was looking forward to Gu Yunxi's broadcast that evening, especially since she had said she would end the broadcast after finishing one divination.
I didn't expect her to come again after the meal. She just sat there quietly, and I always felt like she had something on her mind.
[Perhaps they haven't gotten over what happened to the firefighter. These kinds of incidents happen every year; there are just too many of them.]
Gu Yunxi watched the barrage of comments and gifts flying everywhere. She immediately turned off the background gift-giving function, and the live stream finally returned to normal.
[Wow! They've even turned off gift-giving. They're definitely different from other streamers.]
Live streaming is about making money. If you're not making money, why are you even streaming?
[Everyone come and see! This guy is a troll, kick him out!]
"Alright, let's begin. The tipping interface is now closed. From now on, only those who are destined to receive gifts can send them. Everyone, please don't waste your money. You can use the money you would have spent on gifts to buy some food and clothes for your family. I'm not short of money now."
"I don't accept money because there's a cause and effect principle at play. If I accept money, I'm obligated to perform divination and other services for you, which wouldn't violate the laws of nature."
[Oh! I see. I specifically downloaded this app to watch beautiful women livestream. As a workaholic, I rarely watch other people's livestreams, but it's different for streamers.]
A netizen connected with a ".", such a short username, simply using a symbol.
A woman in her thirties appeared in front of the camera, looking exhausted, with graying temples.
"Let's get straight to the point. This lady is looking for her daughter, right?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's dim eyes suddenly brightened. She didn't say anything; this streamer was too amazing, he could tell at a glance.
"Master, my name is Miao Qing, I am 38 years old. My husband and I divorced due to marital discord, and my daughter was awarded to my ex-husband."
He has a stable job and money. Being with me would only be a burden on the children. Whenever I have time, I will bring her food and occasionally sneak a peek at her.
I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. I dream about my daughter every night, and she keeps calling my name, which wakes me up in a fright. During the day, I called her, and she chatted happily with me. Master, is this dream some kind of omen?
She also tried giving Gu Yunxi a gift, and to her surprise, she actually succeeded. Could she be the first person tonight who is destined to receive a gift?
Someone who needs a master's help?
"Did you take any screenshots during the video call? Or send me recent photos taken by your daughter so I can see what's going on?"
"good!"
A short while later, the system received the picture. The woman not only sent over a photo of her daughter, but also her name and birth date, thinking that this would make the master's calculation more accurate.
Upon seeing the girl in the photo, Gu Yunxi gave a strange look. "Are you sure you video-chatted with her these past two days?"
"Yes, Master, I chatted with her for an hour yesterday during the day, is that alright?"
[I have a bad feeling about this. If the master shows that expression, something really bad has definitely happened.]
Okay, I got it. You netizens have figured out even the master's subtle micro-expressions.
Viewers in the live stream speculated whether something had happened to the girl.
“We had a video call yesterday, but when I saw your daughter’s picture, I realized she’s been gone for a week. I mean, she’s been dead for a week.”
"What?"
The woman slumped in her chair. "How is this possible, Master? You're not lying to me, are you?"
