Livestream Fortune-Telling: Viewer, Your Date Really Gets Around!
Author: Starting a Family and Building a Career
Synopsis:
"Master, my blind date is the ultimate blend of innocence and sex appeal. Sorry for the trouble, but could you read our romantic prospects?"
A man with a master's degree from overseas asked eagerly.
"Viewer, I'll be honest with you. Your date really gets around!"
The viewer's expression changed dramatically. He opened his goddess's profile and saw the words [Available nationwide, business escort services]!
He sent a message: "A mutual acquaintance referred me."
She replied instantly: "Three hundred for referrals!"
Well, damn. Seeing the overseas-educated elite's face fall, the entire livestream chat exploded.
"No wonder she's available nationwide. She's a paratrooper!"
"Three hundred for referrals, three million for the bride price!"
Lin Fan calmly made a divination gesture with his fingers. "Send in the next victim!"
"Oh, no, I mean the next destined guest!"
Chapter 1: High-Quality Man?
The summer heat had passed, and the autumn wind blew bleakly.
Taihe Street was deserted and utterly quiet.
Though narrow, this alley was Demon City's famous fortune-telling street.
Shops of all sizes stood packed together along the dim alley, their entrances invariably bearing signs such as "Divine Predictions" and "Birth Chart Readings."
Occasionally, wisps of sandalwood incense drifted upward. Every so often, customers emerged from the shops with reverent expressions.
"Damn it, I never dreamed even fortune-telling could get this cutthroat!"
Inside the Heavenly Fate Studio, Lin Fan sipped his tea and grumbled with a frown.
His master had passed the Heavenly Fate Studio down to him, and it enjoyed a modest reputation on Taihe Street.
Unfortunately, people took one look at his youth and decided he had nothing whatsoever to do with the word "master," much less someone they could trust.
As a result, Lin Fan hadn't earned a single cent in over two weeks.
"If this keeps up, am I really going to have to get a factory job?"
After grumbling, Lin Fan watched a female streamer posing provocatively on his phone, with one rocket gift after another streaking across the screen. An idea suddenly struck him.
"In that case, I have no choice but to make a decision that goes against my forebears!"
"Master, if your spirit is watching from heaven, please don't blame me for disgracing our tradition!"
"This is the internet age. We fortune-tellers naturally have to move with the times!"
"Compared with those female streamers, surely there's nothing wrong with me starting a stream to tell viewers' fortunes?"
With that, Lin Fan went straight to the Huya Platform's verification page and registered a streamer account.
He straightened his clothes, then switched on his camera and enabled the livestream with an air of solemn ceremony.
With a sweep of his hand, a bold title appeared across the room.
Sexy master, live fortune-telling! No accuracy, no charge!
The moment the livestream began, an emotionless mechanical notification suddenly sounded in Lin Fan's mind.
"Ding! Host requirements met. The God-Tier Fortune-Telling System has been activated." "This system aims to punish evil, promote good, and benefit society. The host can earn heavenly secrets points by changing others' fates and divining heavenly secrets." "Heavenly secrets points can be exchanged for supreme items in the Heavenly Secrets Shop." "Congratulations! The host has received a beginner's gift package: mastery of the Face-Reading Technique."
As soon as the system finished speaking, Lin Fan felt his mind tremble.
Then an indescribably mystical aura poured into his sea of consciousness. Along with it, the system's Face-Reading Technique took root in his mind and became completely integrated with him.
Now, merely by reading someone's face, he could learn everything about their past and future!
With this unexpected cheat at his disposal, Lin Fan's confidence instantly soared!
After all, he was different from those so-called masters. He had genuine skills!
Before long, perhaps thanks to the traffic boost given to new streamers, a few viewers entered his livestream.
[Now I really have seen everything. I've seen people livestream themselves sleeping, but livestream fortune-telling? That's a first!]
[Exactly. This streamer looks barely over twenty. Who knows where this attention-chasing scammer crawled out from?]
[Temples are just for fun. For real masters, you've got to go to Huya!]
[Livestream fortune-telling? Well, damn. Just fucking damn!]
The steady stream of comments perked Lin Fan right up.
Smiling, he began interacting with the handful of viewers in his livestream.
"Everyone, whether it's your birth chart, romance, career, or feng shui, one look at your face is all I need to know it inside out."
"Since this is my opening day, how about I give someone a free reading?"
Before Lin Fan had finished, an account with the username [High-Quality Man] picked up the conversation.
[High-Quality Man: Master, I recently returned from overseas, and my family keeps arranging blind dates for me. Could you do a reading for me?]
Seeing the unsolicited comment pop up on his screen, Lin Fan grew a little excited.
This was the very first customer of his fortune-telling career!
I've got to treat him right!
With a flick of his hand, he sent over a video call request.
The other party soon answered.
A man in a sharp suit sat inside a Rolls-Royce. The overlapping capital Rs embroidered in gold behind him and the little golden figure on the hood practically blinded everyone watching.
[Holy shit! We can actually run into a fucking mega-rich guy here?]
[A big shot! A real big shot! Now that's a high-quality man!]
[Stop talking nonsense. That's my dad!]
[Now we're in for a show. Let the big shot test him, and we'll find out whether he's a real master or a fake!]
Lin Fan studied the young man on the screen, and all his information instantly became clear to him.
Meanwhile, High-Quality Man looked at Lin Fan's rather youthful face and began to have doubts.
He asked politely, "Master, you look quite young. Perhaps we should just forget it?"
His words left Lin Fan feeling that the damage was minor, but the insult was immense!
What's wrong with being young?
Today, I'll show you exactly who you're dealing with!
"That's where you're mistaken. Since you put it that way, why don't I tell you a few things about yourself first, and you can see whether they match?"
Seeing Lin Fan's solemn expression, High-Quality Man nodded dubiously.
"Yang Tianhe. You studied in the United States for seven years and returned home on the eleventh of last month. Your flight number was MK-NTR69!"
"Your family works in finance, and your grandfather calls the shots. Your grandmother died of cancer when you were nine."
"Well? Am I right?"
"To protect your privacy, I won't recite your ID number or phone number."
Lin Fan added this considerate remark, his face full of disdain and composure.
When High-Quality Man heard Lin Fan accurately recount events from when he was nine right up to last month, even getting his flight number exactly right, his eyes went wide, and disbelief covered his face!
[Impossible! Absolutely impossible!]
[How can your reading be so accurate?]
Seeing High-Quality Man's response, Lin Fan calmly took another sip of tea.
"Didn't I already say it? Sexy master, live fortune-telling. No accuracy, no charge!"
After witnessing their exchange and High-Quality Man's unmistakably genuine shock, the entire livestream chat erupted.
[Pfft! A knife to the backside-now that's a real eye-opener!]
[An old lady climbing into bed-you've got me in stitches!]
[Master, that was sandpaper to the backside-a raw display of skill!]
[Who knew this master was like a tattoo artist working blind? You've shown me up all over!]
Compared with the viewers' excitement, High-Quality Man on the other end of the call simply waved his hand and sent three rocket gifts soaring into the air.
A message followed: Master, I've been going on blind dates lately, and I think I've met the princess of my dreams. Please help me read our romantic prospects!
Chapter 2: Viewer, Your Date Really Gets Around!
Seeing the three animated rockets streak across the screen, then looking at High-Quality Man sitting expectantly in his Rolls-Royce, the livestream chat exploded once again.
