Sister Yu's Husband and a Stock with Potential

The moon was bright, the stars sparse, and midnight was quiet.

The three of them chatted until late.

Lin Baici asked a lot about the God Ruins, but Jin Yingzhen wasn't a God Hunter, so she didn't know much.

"Good night, oppa!"

"Xiao Bai, get some rest!"

Jin Yingzhen and Hua Yueyu said their goodbyes.

"Good night!"

Lin Baici turned off the lights and went to bed, feeling completely at ease.

Hua Yueyu returned to her room, sent a few messages to her fan group to let them know she was safe, then logged in and started a livestream.

"Finally caught you!"

"Sister Yu's here! Fishermen, wake up! Get up and let's party!"

"Sister Yu, why did you suddenly end the stream earlier today?"

Hua Yueyu was a top-tier streamer with a huge following. Even when she went live in the middle of the night, fans who spotted her would immediately join the stream.

"Let me tell you, I narrowly escaped death today. What happened to me could be made into a horror movie, the kind that earns over a hundred million at the box office."

Hua Yueyu was beautiful. She didn't need makeup or a beauty filter; even streaming with a bare face, she outshone plenty of female streamers with their filters cranked up to the max.

That was one reason Hua Yueyu had so many fans: people came to see a cute girl.

Tyrannosaurus Rex Without Teeth: Sister Yu, are you at a hotel? Judging by the decor, it looks pretty upscale!

Wu Gang Fells the Moon: My Sister Yu is Shark Platform's number one. Even a presidential suite can't match her style.

Sister Yu's Ribs: Boo-hoo-hoo, where's our number-one supporter? Come out and prove you haven't been telling Sister Yu a thousand and one stories.

Sister Yu's Ribs' comment quickly sparked a wave of responses from the Streamer Friends.

Money Burns Hands: I'm out grilling skewers on the street with a friend!

After sending the message, he tipped her a Rocket.

He was one of Hua Yueyu's most loyal fans.

"Thanks for the big Rocket, Brother Qian! May your wealth keep rolling in!"

Hua Yueyu grabbed a bottle of soda. She'd meant to sit by the window and stream in the moonlight, but thought better of it.

The Streamer Friends were sharp these days. One look at the night view outside might be enough for them to figure out which hotel she was staying at.

Money Burns Hands: You suddenly stopped streaming earlier. Did something happen?

"Ah, I can't say!"

Hua Yueyu was worried her stream might get shut down.

"Did something happen that minors aren't allowed to watch?"

"Sister Yu, your figure's not doing you any favors. You can't even fill out that bathrobe!"

"Shut up! It took us ages to catch Sister Yu's bathrobe stream. If she changes, are you going to make it up to me?"

"I'm so overwhelmed. I can watch this without paying?"

The Streamer Friends cracked jokes and talked nonsense. The stream was lively as hell.

"Honestly, today was the first time I saw what a real man looks like. He faced fear head-on, stared death in the face, and wasn't afraid of anything. I was scared shitless, but that Big Male Student still dared to charge in!"

What Hua Yueyu admired most about Lin Baici was how he stayed calm in the face of monsters. He must have known that certain actions could get him killed, but he did them anyway.

Money Burns Hands: Sounds like you have a thing for that guy!

He was her number-one supporter, and there were all those Streamer Friends watching. There were some things she probably shouldn't say, but Hua Yueyu admitted it anyway. "If I'd known him for more than half a day, I might've chased after him myself!"

Sister Yu's Ribs: Unfollowing! Unfollowing!

Tyrannosaurus Rex Without Teeth: Sister Yu, you've changed!

Wu Gang Fells the Moon: Is that guy really that great?

"How should I put it? It's not love. It's admiration for someone strong. You get it?"

For the first time in her life, Hua Yueyu had experienced what it felt like to be safe.

"Is that guy right next to you? Call him over and let us see!"

"Yeah, what kind of god is he, to get such a glowing review from Sister Yu?"

"Bring your brother-in-law out!"

The Streamer Friends started making a fuss again.

"No way. At this hour, that Chaebol Miss from Korea might already be over there discussing the finer points with him. I'm not going to be a third wheel."

Hua Yueyu turned her phone around to show the room.

"See? The Hilton Hotel. A luxurious five-star suite. It costs thousands a night. And this Apple Pro Max phone was a gift from that Chaebol Miss!"

"And let me tell you, her chest is huge!"

As she spoke, Hua Yueyu gestured in front of her chest, tracing an exaggerated curve with her hands.

Jin Yingzhen hadn't gone to see Lin Baici. She was making a long-distance call.

She told her older brother, Jin Xian, everything that had happened that day.

After listening, Jin Xian thought for a few minutes before giving her an order. "Meteorite falls are becoming more frequent every year. Based on our estimates, we could reach a peak in the next two or three years. Our country is small and densely populated, and God Hunters are in very short supply. If we suffer a God's Ruins Disaster, the losses will be severe."

"That Lin Baici you mentioned sounds full of potential. Do everything you can to recruit him. I can promise him the rank of lieutenant."

The lieutenant rank Jin Xian was talking about wasn't in the regular military. It was a rank among the God Hunters.

As for the annual salary?

That wasn't a concern. Jin Xian couldn't even be bothered to mention it. What worried him was that Lin Baici might not name a price. Whatever Lin Baici dared to ask for, no matter how much, Jin Xian would be willing to offer.

"Got it!"

Jin Yingzhen was surprised. Her brother thought very highly of Lin Baici.

"If he wants to sell the God's Taboo Objects he has, I can buy them for three times the market price. I guarantee he won't lose out."

Jin Xian was showing his sincerity.

An ordinary high school student had managed to contain God's Remains and break a God Ruins in just five hours. It couldn't be down to luck alone; he must have had something going for him.

Every country was eager to recruit wild God Hunters with this kind of potential.

"I'll remember that!"

After Jin Yingzhen finished talking with Jin Xian, she worried about his situation. "Mom said you're going into the God Ruins again?"

"The Busan God's Ruins, which had been dormant for ten years, suddenly started spreading again half a month ago. We have to break it this time, or even neighboring Ulsan City will be done for!"

Jin Xian's voice was grave.

That was the hard part about being a small country.

The country's territory was so small that when disaster struck, there was nowhere to run.

"Be careful!"

After ending the call, Jin Yingzhen lay in bed, unable to sleep.

Her brother might have been betting that Lin Baici had a bright future and wanted to invest early, but the Goryeo girl believed Lin Baici was incredible and destined for greatness.

So for her country and her fellow citizens, she had to bring him over.

Maybe it was because he'd eaten a Meteorite Stone and God's Remains, but Lin Baici woke up at seven feeling fantastic.

The morning sun was bright, and a cool breeze drifted by.

Lin Baici got out of bed, then realized he had no idea what to do.

After brushing his teeth and washing up, he was about to study vocabulary, but then remembered the college entrance exams were over. So he relaxed and started watching videos. At eight, Little Fish Person sent him a message on WeChat.

"Xiao Bai, are you awake? Want to go get breakfast together?"

"I'm up!"

Lin Baici replied, "Let's invite Yingzhen too?"

He sent Jin Yingzhen a message, and she replied right away.

"Give me a moment to shower!"

She'd been awake for a while and had already run five kilometers at the gym.

"Are Chaebol Misses really all this disciplined? No wonder she stays in such great shape!"

Hua Yueyu suddenly felt the pressure. She needed to start working out.

Breakfast was a lavish buffet, with both Chinese and Western food.

Lin Baici ate two buns, an egg, and a few slices of bread, then drank a big glass of milk.

Jin Yingzhen just drank milk and ate some fruit.

Hua Yueyu picked whatever she liked, piling it high on a plate.

She started streaming again.

The buffet at a five-star hotel was a draw in itself, but she was considerate. She kept her voice low and made sure the camera didn't sweep across the other guests.

Tyrannosaurus Rex Without Teeth: Where's that beautiful Chaebol Miss you mentioned? Let us see if she really is that pretty.

Sister Yu's Ribs: We demand an assessment!

Bane of the Green Tea Bitch: This restaurant looks so fancy!

"I can't show you. I'm worried you'll feel inferior. She's a girl you'll never be able to get in this lifetime."

Hua Yueyu teased them. That was just her streaming style; she was always trading jabs with the Streamer Friends.

"What about your brother-in-law? Surely you can show us him?"

"Nope. I like men. I'm afraid I'll fall for him."

"I dropped my soap. Can someone pick it up for me?"

The Streamer Friends bickered noisily.

Hua Yueyu didn't dare show Lin Baici's face. She only filmed his hands and upper body.

Homelander: Holy shit, those fingers are gorgeous. It'd be a waste if he didn't play piano.

Fat Three Jin: Great physique!

Three-Legged Young Master: He'd make a good gigolo.

Three-Legged Young Master has been muted.

"Holy shit, what the hell?"

Three-Legged Young Master wanted to send another comment, only to discover he'd been muted.

Was it a mistake?

He often made lewd jokes in Hua Yueyu's stream, the kind where the punchline ran right over your face, and he'd never been banned. Besides, he hadn't even posted anything that bad today.

Three-Legged Young Master quickly appealed, and then a moderator told him that Hua Yueyu herself had muted him.

"Why? Just because I said he'd make a good gigolo?"

Three-Legged Young Master couldn't understand it at all.

Was Hua Yueyu really that protective of her "Sister Yu's Husband"?

After breakfast, Hua Yueyu checked out.

Sister Xiao Li and Brother Gu were dead. They'd only been working together, but Hua Yueyu still planned to visit their families and explain what had happened.

"See you in Haijing next semester. I'll arrange a feast of wine and meat by the time you get there. I guarantee you won't want to leave!"

Hua Yueyu thumped her chest as she promised.

"Okay!"

Lin Baici saw the female streamer off, then checked out himself.

"Wherever you want to go over the next few days, I'll be your guide!"

After saying goodbye to Jin Yingzhen, Lin Baici boarded a bus and rode for nearly an hour before arriving home.

His mom wasn't there; she'd gone to work.

There were thirty yuan on the table for Lin Baici to buy food.

"Mom's working the night shift today!"

Lin Baici sighed. Looking around the sixty-square-meter, two-bedroom apartment, he thought about how hard his mom worked every day and how exhausted she looked. His desire to make money grew even stronger.

He had to buy a big house as soon as possible.

And move his mom out.

He was sick to death of this old, run-down neighborhood.

There was no time to waste. Lin Baici immediately decided to make videos.

His goal:

A million followers in three months!
