My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 2

What was more terrible than death was living in poverty.

When Jiang Yiqing found the paper on the table with the location of the ancestor's temple written on it, he had to painfully admit that it was not a dream at all!

Very good, he was a little sad because the old man left, but now he was completely gone.

Moreover, the old man taught him a formula that could be used almost anytime, making it even more useful than a phone call.

Jiang Yiqing sighed resignedly, rubbed his hair, and planned to go to the ancestor's temple to take a look. Well... there was still a temple. If it was repaired on the basis, it should not be difficult.

However, when Jiang Yiqing came to the direction indicated by the old man, he saw the dilapidated temple without even the roof in front of him, and realized the seriousness of the problem.

It seemed that he had to make money as soon as possible.

It was obviously not enough for Jiang Yiqing to earn a few thousand yuan a month by working alone. It was unknown when the temple could be repaired.

What was more, the ancestor also required that the money earned from the inheritance must be used to repair the temple.

That night, Jiang Yiqing tossed and turned until he finally came up with an idea—livestream fortune-telling!

After listening, the old man clapped his hands and praised, "You young people are still smart. It was right to let you go to school."

Jiang Yiqing didn't want to talk. If the previous 17 generations hadn't been so bad, would he be under so much pressure now?

The old man felt guilty, touched his nose, and floated away.

The next morning, after Jiang Yiqing woke up, he decisively left the mountain.

If he wanted to livestream, staying on the mountain was obviously not an option. First, the signal wasn’t strong enough.

After leaving the mountain, Jiang Yiqing did not return to the rental house immediately, but went to the nearby computer city.

If he wanted to do his job well, he had to first sharpen his tools. That meant buying a set of professional livestreaming equipment.

After looking at the prices, Jiang Yiqing: "..."

In the end, he bought the cheapest one. Even so, it cost him his entire month's internship salary and the old man's lifelong savings.

If the livestream didn’t succeed, he wouldn’t even have to worry about facing the ancestor’s punishment—he would starve to death first.

Time was tight, so Jiang Yiqing grabbed a quick bite for lunch before diving into hours of study. After setting up his livestreaming equipment, he went live straight away on the popular Miaomiao platform.

So, in a quiet corner, Miaomiao livestreaming platform has a livestream room called "Metaphysical Fortune Telling".

It was almost time to get off work, and the bored working party simply opened the Miaomiao platform.

Soon someone discovered this live broadcast room called "Metaphysical Fortune Telling".

Curious, they clicked into the livestream, only to be shocked by the host’s appearance.

It was nothing—except this person was unbelievably good-looking, and it didn’t even seem like a filter was used!

Not many people clicked in out of curiosity, after all, it was Jiang Yiqing's first livestreaming, and he was really a newcomer.

There were a few more people in the livestream room, and Jiang Yiqing himself was a little surprised.

"Why isn't the host* talking? Is he the one with the best looks?"

(*In China, 'anchor' is a commonly used term for a streamer, but we will use 'streamer' or 'host' instead.)

"Isn't the host too good-looking? I almost thought he was a celebrity, but what is metaphysical fortune-telling? Are you sure you're right?"

After a few people finally came in, Jiang Yiqing naturally had to keep them and immediately explained, "I'm not wrong, the host is the 18th generation descendant of the Daoism. From today on, one divination will be given every day. The first three days are free, and each divination will be 3,000 yuan."

"Hiss... so expensive, although the host is good-looking, no one will take him as an idiot, right?"

Jiang Yiqing was not angry when he saw this, he raised his eyebrows and joked, "I'm very accurate in fortune-telling, don't regret it."

"Hahaha, the host is so cute, but 3,000 yuan is too expensive, I'm just watching the fun."

After that, he gave Jiang Yiqing a small flower.

Being bored, Jiang Yiqing simply started chatting with several people in the livestreaming room. Seeing that no one wanted to tell fortunes, Jiang Yiqing was not surprised. He was about to end the livestream and continue tomorrow. Suddenly, a blinding special effect appeared in the livestreaming room.

Boss Gong Zhang: "Why does the host speak like a sissy? Can't he speak properly?"

Jiang Yiqing's face turned cold when he saw the sudden appearance of the uninvited guest.

Next, with the appearance of Boss Gong Zhang, the number of people in the livestreaming room suddenly soared. Jiang Yiqing learned from the popularization of the first few people that this "Boss Gong Zhang" was one of the top hosts on the Miaomiao livestreaming platform.

This person saw himself as very manly. Every day, he actively joined the livestreams of hosts he deemed "sissy" and posted comments about being a "real man".

It could be simply summarized as "I like to be a father to others". Such a person, but there was a group of fans who support him, making "Boss Gong Zhang" one of the top hosts.

Because a group of people under him helped him to charge forward, some bullied hosts could only swallow their anger.

The host that a girl in the livestream room liked had once been harassed by Boss Gong Zhang, and she was disgusted by his actions.

As soon as she saw that this new host was going to be troubled, she quickly reminded him.

"Host, you should get off the air first, these people are unreasonable at all."

Although it was useless for the host to get off the air, these people would still cause trouble later, but it was better to hide for a while.

Boss Gong Zhang: "Tsk tsk, the child who has not been weaned should go home to your mother to drink milk, hahaha..."

"You are so cowardly, it is a disgrace to us men."

"How can this guy look like a man? I'm afraid he's a woman pretending to be one, hahaha..."

Jiang Yiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who said I'm going to stop streaming? Look carefully, I'm a fortune-teller in metaphysics. You're so active, do you want to ask me to tell your fortune?"
