My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 121

After hearing his story, the entire livestream—including Jiang Yiqing himself—fell silent.

Even he didn't know he offered this kind of service.

The livestream chat exploded:

"I'm in awe. This is what separates the quick-witted from the rest of us mortals."

"Damn, this guy's a little genius!"

"LOL, Qingqing's opening a whole new business branch now!"

Wu Dai looked a bit nervous. "Uh... Master Jiang, is this something you can actually do?"

Jiang Yiqing was quiet for a second before coughing lightly. "Yeah, I can take a look. Tell me about the properties."

Wu Dai had come fully prepared. He rattled off all the details he'd gathered, talking so much his throat went dry. After a long sip of water, he added, "My wife and I are leaning toward the one in Lakeside New District—the greenery is great and the layout fits us. My parents, though, prefer the Lanting one. Their reason's simple—it's cheaper and has better value for money."

Jiang Yiqing nodded and started examining the feng shui. Most of the properties were fine—some had minor issues, but nothing terrible. It just came down to what Wu Dai could tolerate.

However, when he looked at the Lanting unit, his brows furrowed. "You can choose any of the others—but don't pick Lanting."

Wu Dai's parents, who had been listening nearby, were skeptical from the start. They were just waiting to hear what this so-called master had to say. But when their favorite unit got ruled out right away, they got visibly annoyed.

"What? I think Lanting's perfect! It's affordable and looks good!"

"Yeah! What does this young guy even know? Sounds like nonsense!"

Jiang Yiqing smiled politely. No need to get offended. Calmly, he explained, "The Lanting unit is dangerously shoddy. It's a classic 'tofu-dreg' project. I honestly have no idea how that building even got approved—it's cut so many corners, it won't be long before it starts collapsing."

Wu Dai's parents were stunned. Collapse? No way. They knew cheap housing often came with leaks or poor insulation—but collapse? That had to be a joke, right?

Livestream Comments:

"Whoa, is it really that bad? I've been looking at the same Lanting place. I was just about to sign the contract and pay the down payment. I'm literally on my way there now."

"Hey, just saying—don't blame me if you don't listen. Qingqing's never been wrong since she started streaming."

"No way, we already bought the place and even moved in..."

"Ughhh, same here! My hands are freezing from fear right now. Don't tell me we're that unlucky. We saved up so long to buy that place. If this turns out to be true, I'm gonna lose it."

"Why did so many people buy at Lanting anyway?"

"Because it's cheap. Lanting's price per square meter is almost a thousand less! And the location isn't worse than anywhere else."

"For those who already bought a Lanting unit, I suggest figuring out a way to move out ASAP. It's not like returning a house is easy... sigh."

Jiang Yiqing saw the comments flying by and glanced at Wu Dai's parents, who clearly still didn't fully believe him. He frowned—this seemed pretty serious. "That whole building's got major cut corners. I don't even know how it passed safety inspections. The materials they skipped out on cost way more than the amount you saved buying it cheap."

"How about this—if you trust me, hold off on buying a unit here for now. And if you already did, just move out for a few days," Jiang Yiqing said gently, with a calmness that naturally made people want to believe him. "In at most a week, everything will be clear."

"It's just one week," he added. "It shouldn't mess up your plans too much."

Wu Dai actually already leaned toward believing Jiang Yiqing. If he didn't, he wouldn't have reached out to him in the first place. But he was worried about how to convince his parents.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yiqing solved that problem for him. Sure enough, once he spoke, Wu Dai's parents started to look hesitant.

After all, Jiang Yiqing made it sound really bad—like the whole building could collapse or something... If they spent their life savings on a place and the building caved in before they even got to live in it? That'd be soul-crushing.

Houses weren't like other stuff—you couldn't just get your money back easily.

Wu Dai chimed in to help persuade them, "It's only a week. We've already waited this long, what's another seven days?"

His parents, hearing that, finally nodded. "Alright, we'll wait another week. But if nothing happens, you two have to listen to us."

Wu Dai didn't hesitate for a second. He agreed immediately—he trusted Jiang Yiqing. A week it is!

Wu Dai's parents were relatively easy to convince, but the people about to sign their contracts were having a harder time deciding.

"But I worked so hard to negotiate this price, and the sales guy threw in a bunch of discounts. If I back out now, all that's gone."

"Same here. The sales agent told me if I didn't act fast, this floor plan would be gone..."

"You guys can struggle with it. I'm out for now. I mean, we're not talking months or years here. It's just a week—I can wait that long."

"True, alright, I'm holding off for now."

The ones who already bought in were feeling even worse. They desperately hoped Jiang Yiqing was just full of it, because they'd poured their savings into this.

But they didn't dare gamble on it either. What if... what if the building did collapse? They were living there. They could die.

So, no choice—they had to go home and try to convince their families to move out for just a week. As for the real reason, they couldn't say it outright. What if their family didn't believe them?

Honestly, if they hadn't been watching Jiang Yiqing's livestreams for so long, they wouldn't believe it either! Oh right, they should also warn the neighbors who'd already moved in. Even if those neighbors looked at them like they were crazy, they still had to say something—otherwise their conscience wouldn't let them sleep.

And those with friends or family who bought in at Lanting? They started warning them, too. Some believed them and agreed to move out. Others flat-out refused, saying they weren't budging no matter what. But hey, at least they tried.

Luckily, the Lanting units had only been handed over less than a year ago. A lot of the slower buyers had just finished renovations and were still letting the place air out, so the occupancy rate wasn't super high yet.
