The shop owner knew very well that Lin Fan's future held limitless potential.
Building a good relationship with someone like him early on would bring him indescribable benefits.
"Brother Qin!"
Lin Fan shook his head. He could not accept a reward he had done nothing to earn. He had merely offered a reminder, yet Brother Qin had given him something so valuable.
"Fine. When I have some time, I'll set up a feng shui arrangement for him."
Feng shui could often influence a person's fate.
Last time, he had noticed some problems with the feng shui in Brother Qin's jade shop.
"Master! Please help me! My child has been missing for three years, and I still haven't found them!"
"Master Lin, I'm about to take the college entrance exam. Can you predict my score?"
"I have a terminal illness. All I ask is for you to give me a talisman, Master, so I can have some peace of mind."
Taihe Street was packed with people.
When they saw Lin Fan standing at the entrance, they rushed over, begging him to tell their fortunes.
"We have no destined connection."
Lin Fan shook his head. It was not that he was coldhearted, but that his abilities were limited.
If he made an exception for anyone, more people would probably start parading their misery, claiming the moral high ground to force him to tell their fortunes.
He would probably work himself to death then.
He returned to the shop.
Lin Fan took out the antique-looking piece of jade and exchanged the jade artifact directly for Three Thousand Heavenly Mechanism Points.
[System, check my heavenly secrets points and open the store.] [Understood. Opening the store for the host now.] [Host, you currently have 4,000 heavenly secrets points. You may redeem items and make purchases in the system store.] Cultivation arts: Nine Yin Profound Origin Art: 5,000 heavenly secrets points Heaven-Peering Art: 8,888 heavenly secrets points Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Trees: 10,000 heavenly secrets points ...
"I need to work harder!"
Lin Fan gave himself a pep talk. He only needed another thousand heavenly secrets points to buy the Nine Yin Profound Origin Art.
Of course, as he looked at the Heaven-Peering Art priced at 8,888 heavenly secrets points, it was clearly a better fit. Unfortunately, he did not have enough points.
He closed the store.
Lin Fan walked over to the computer and, after a few clicks, started another livestream.
[Ding! Master Lin, whom you follow, is now live.]
At that moment, livestream notifications popped up on viewers' phones, one after another.
[A-Fei Film and TV: Finally, you're live! It was all Xiao Tuantuan's fault yesterday. Otherwise, I would've gotten to meet Master Lin!]
[Hot and Sour Beef Noodles: Master Lin, are you still randomly selecting three people today?]
[Anonymous Helpful Netizen: Here are ten rockets! All I ask is for the streamer to tell my fortune!]
[Jiangnan's Most Devoted Lover: Master Lin, I want to know whether I can find true love.]
Seeing the viewers' enthusiasm, Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Today, I'll still randomly select three lucky viewers."
"I'll start a lucky-bag draw in a moment. Just click to enter, and the platform will automatically select three people."
There were simply too many people.
With thousands of chat messages every second, even clicking on someone to start a video call was quite difficult.
[The Platform's Luckiest Player: Don't even bother guessing. I'm definitely winning the lucky-bag draw. I've never lost a raffle!]
[Top Diehard Fan: I've made ten thousand accounts. There's no way I won't win!]
[Ragdoll Cat: I've been waiting here for four days. It should be my turn, right?]
A short while later.
A red icon appeared in the upper-left corner of the livestream. Clicking it revealed the words "Ten-cent lucky bag, three winners."
[Red Envelope King: This streamer is so stingy. He's only giving away thirty cents, and hundreds of thousands of people are fighting for it. Are you all idiots?]
[Ragdoll Cat: The person above must be new. Look up Master Lin, and you'll understand why there are so many people.]
[Xiao Tuantuan: Master Lin isn't an ordinary streamer. If it weren't for him yesterday, I probably would've met a terrible end!]
[Chu Conqueror: Exactly! Master Lin gave me a talisman last time, and I wasn't hurt even when I got into a car crash. Isn't that awesome?]
Chapter 32: Viewer, You Might Be Sick!
The livestream chat was buzzing.
Whenever a viewer questioned him, a crowd of diehard fans would fire back.
Ten minutes passed in a flash.
The lucky-bag draw ended, and three usernames appeared on the screen.
[Congratulations to Jiangnan's Most Devoted Lover, Ragdoll Cat, and Top Diehard Fan for winning.]
[Top Diehard Fan: Hahaha! I told you, ten thousand accounts guaranteed a win!]
"Congratulations to our three viewers."
Lin Fan smiled and tapped the screen, sending a video-call invitation to Jiangnan's Most Devoted Lover.
Before long, the call connected.
A handsome face appeared on the screen.
[Japan's Most Devoted Lover: Oh my God, it's the grandmaster himself!]
[Monster City's Most Devoted Lover: Isn't he a big streamer? Why's he joining the call?]
[Inside Scoop: Doesn't he have loads of girlfriends? I remember him having a different girlfriend every time he streams.]
[Umbrella After the Rain: Heh, he's just a playboy.]
"Hello, Master. My name is Tong Lin."
Tong Lin was extremely polite. With a bashful smile, he asked, "Sorry for the trouble, Master, but could you tell my fortune and see whether I can find true love?"
His words immediately shocked the viewers.
To think Jiangnan's Most Devoted Lover would ask something like that.
"True love?"
Lin Fan gave him an odd smile. "You mean you want to ask when you'll find a girlfriend, right?"
[Monster City's Most Devoted Lover: ???]
[Demon City's Most Devoted Lover: The grandmaster has a different woman in his arms every day. Master, are you confused? How could he possibly struggle to find a girlfriend?]
Quite a few viewers questioned Lin Fan's abilities.
During his livestreams, Tong Lin often flirted with different beautiful women. In the viewers' eyes, all those women had something going on with him.
"Tong Lin, a virgin who has only been in one relationship," Lin Fan said calmly.
He was not making things up. He had just calculated Tong Lin's fortune on his fingers, and honestly, even he found it unbelievable.
He had watched Tong Lin's livestreams. He never would have imagined that the seemingly flirtatious Tong Lin was actually an innocent virgin.
[Jinman's Little Sister: What kind of lousy master is this? He's just a fraud!]
[Security Captain: Looks like all those trending news stories were scripted. How could Tong Lin be a virgin? And there's no way he's only been in one relationship.]
[Face Life with a Smile: Just end the stream already. Stop scamming people here!]
Among the viewers were plenty of Tong Lin's fans.
In their eyes, Tong Lin had fooled around with countless women and been in more relationships than they had eaten meals.
"The master is right."
Tong Lin lowered his head and said quietly, "My only relationship was in high school. Ever since we broke up last year, I haven't met anyone right for me."
The man himself had admitted it!
His many fans froze, wondering whether they had misheard.
[Shipping Fan: Tong Lin, didn't you say you'd love Dai Xiaomei forever? Aren't you and her truly in love?]
[Solo Fan: This is the biggest joke I've heard today. Pure and innocent Tong Lin.]
As he watched the chat messages scroll past.
Tong Lin took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and said, "Actually, everything you've seen on my livestreams was scripted."
[Meiling: Since Tong Lin has said it, we don't need to hide it anymore. Everything was scripted.]
[Dai Xiaomei: We've actually been playing things up for entertainment all along. All the intimacy you saw was acting.]
[36D Linzi: Tong Lin is too innocent. I've confessed to him several times, but he's turned me down every time.]
[Tong Lin's Manager: After every show, loads of people want to date Tong Lin, but he's never agreed.]
People kept stepping forward to explain on Tong Lin's behalf.
The viewers who had initially refused to believe it gradually accepted the truth. They just could not quite understand why Tong Lin was so innocent.
