[So, I want to try the 300 deal. Boss, could you introduce me?]
[Hey, boss, what model is your car? This is the first Rolls-Royce I've seen with such a luxurious, fancy sunroof.]
[Your driver deserves a raise. He's got a good eye.]
[Streamer, I'll worship the ground you walk on! Tell my fortune too.]
[LOL, you thought three million could buy true love? Boss, you don't understand the market here.]
[Dream girl, my ass. A woman like that deserves to be ridden by thousands of men.]
[I feel bad for the boss. He put up three million thinking he could marry his goddess, only to find out it bought him just one night with her.]
[That woman sure puts on airs. She's playing some wild games. Too rich for my blood.]
Yang Tianhe had merely let his infatuation go to his head. He sat down silently, reading the viewers' comments on the screen before him. His teeth ached with fury. He switched out of his alternate account, logged into his main one, and sent Yiyi a message.
"Little Yiyi, I don't think we're right for each other! I hear you charge everyone three million just to meet you. I'm not worthy of you, so this ends here. With three million, who knows how many old hens I could buy to make chicken soup at home!"
After all, Yang Tianhe had studied in America and couldn't bring himself to say anything truly filthy. After some thought, he typed out that pointed message with a dark expression.
Once it went through, he blocked her too. Only then did he feel some relief!
Yang Tianhe had plenty of money. Forget three million-he could even afford a hundred million.
But was this woman worth it? She was nothing but a used-up whore, yet she'd dared toy with him and lead him around by the nose!
Yang Qinghe felt like nothing but a simp, a sucker!!!
He was shaking all over with rage.
Seething, he rolled down the window for some fresh air, only to see tender willow branches fluttering outside. How fitting-the greenery matched the metaphorical cuckold's hat covering his head!
Meanwhile, the live chat was scrolling like crazy.
[A boss really is a boss. Even the way a high-quality man insults people is classier than ours. I'm buying a few old hens tonight and making soup to nourish myself!]
[Let it go. Cutting your losses is what matters. Besides, the boss gave her his heart, and no amount of money can buy that back.]
[Are all overseas graduates this easy to fool now? How come I've never met someone so rich, handsome, and generous? Heaven, please send me a high-quality man!]
[You up there, you've got to have something to charm a man with. At least Little Yiyi has curves in all the right places and plenty of sex appeal. What have you got? Post a picture and let us see!]
The stream erupted, with viewers chiming in one after another to defend Yang Tianhe.
Of course, some mocked him, while others pitied him.
Yang Tianhe had run into this sordid mess right after returning to China, and he felt worse than ever. He'd even called himself a high-quality man. Wasn't he really just a high-quality simp?
"Master, I thought too highly of myself. I have an IQ over two hundred and an extraordinary ability to make money, but my emotional intelligence doesn't measure up. I really must thank you today. Otherwise, I would've become a complete laughingstock."
"I nearly ruined my standing with my father and everyone in my circle forever."
Yang Tianhe spoke forlornly.
Despite what he said aloud, Yang Tianhe had long since started cursing inwardly.
That filthy bitch! Did she really fucking take me for an ATM? He wanted to charge over and tear Little Yiyi's smug face apart.
With so many viewers watching, he had to maintain his refined, dignified image.
But he was genuinely grateful to Lin Fan. Without that reading and guidance, he would still have been foolishly letting a woman lead him around by the nose.
Steadying himself, Yang Tianhe swept his hand, and another sixty-six rockets shot into the air.
[Ding-dong, gift ×1!] [Your livestream has received Rockets ×66.]
Lin Fan watched the system announcement. It seemed to flicker and glow before quickly fading again.
"Mr. Yang, this setback is nothing. A princess is indeed a princess-just not one in a castle. Her workplace is a little unusual, that's all."
"If you ever need guidance on romance again, just ask me!"
Lin Fan wore a solemn expression and spoke calmly, looking every bit like a sage beyond worldly affairs.
At those words, a light finally returned to Yang Tianhe's eyes. He looked up gladly, his earlier gloom swept away, and the stream erupted once more.
[What crazy luck did I have today? Not only did I find a rich, handsome boss, I also found a master who never gets anything wrong! Please tell our fortunes too!]
[So, is this romance divination actually accurate? Could he just be a charlatan?]
[What charlatan could describe that boss's girlfriend's job, age, and identity so clearly? If you don't know anything, stop butting in.]
[Read my fortune! I'll send you a sports car too.]
[Master, look at meee! I may be broke, but I can still afford rockets. I'll send you ten! For the sake of my sincerity and the fact that I've been single since birth, pick me first!]
[Ding-dong, gifts received!] [Rockets ×10, Sports Car ×1, Sunglasses ×100...]
Gifts filled the entire screen, and the like count broke one million, pushing the stream straight to the top of the rankings!
Inside, Lin Fan's emotions surged like mighty waves, but none of it showed on his face.
He hadn't expected his very first outing to go so well.
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Science and technology really are the primary productive forces. Those who came before me weren't lying!
As long as he made good use of livestreaming, he could not only do good deeds and help viewers change their fates, but also earn heavenly secrets points and unlock system privileges.
Why wouldn't he do something that killed two birds with one stone?
Lin Fan cleared his throat. "Don't worry, everyone. From now on, I'll stream here every day and select a few lucky viewers for live readings. Thanks for your support-get those little fingers moving and tap the star, or share my stream with your friends."
Lin Fan had already tasted the benefits of livestreaming. Now he wanted to expand his reach!
He wanted to become a sensation!
Chapter 4: Connecting with a Shady Streamer-Selling Fake Liquor?
"Master, leave the viewers aside for a moment! Please read my romantic prospects and change my fate! I ran into this kind of woman and this awful mess as soon as I got back. My family expects me to marry into a prominent family, and now my reputation is completely ruined."
"But I don't want to give up on happiness for the rest of my life! Right now, I'm like a turtle hiding in its shell. I've lost all my drive and can't hold my head up!"
Yang Tianhe pressed his fingers to his brow, the corners of his mouth twitching.
He was a high-quality man, yet a woman had played him for a fool. How would he face anyone if word got out?
[The boss is great, the boss is fine, the boss makes simping look sublime.]
[Man, seeing even a high-quality guy like him get hurt by a woman has reignited this loser's fighting spirit.]
[Master, help turn the boss's bad luck around. Consider it a good deed.]
The viewers started flooding the chat again. A few were actually putting in a good word for the high-quality man. Spectators never minded making a spectacle bigger.
"Fate has brought us together. Don't worry, I can help change your destiny once," Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Your romantic luck is actually very strong. But your fate contains fruit, while the character for 'heaven' in your name suppresses it, creating a clash that damages your romantic prospects. Find a home with the character for 'wood' in its name and live there for forty-nine days. Then buy a Peach Blossom Sword and enshrine it. Your romantic luck will naturally flourish like spring waters!"
Lin Fan calculated on his fingers and offered the remedy.
On the other end, Yang Tianhe nodded furiously and hastily agreed. Before even ending the video call, he pulled out his limited-edition Apple 13 and began making a call.
"Secretary Gu, you have one hour to find information on every villa property in Dragon City with 'wood' in its name. I'm buying one immediately. Get me a Peach Blossom Sword too. The villa must be fully furnished and ready to move into! Hurry!"
[I'm guessing the boss will buy at Woodsea International. A hundred thousand per square meter. Unbelievable!]
[A high-quality man really does act fast. Even his baseline for buying a home is a villa. So jealous!]
[Boss, boss, look at me! My surname is Peach Blossom, and my name is Sword. Enshrine me in your house!]
[Boss, boss, need a bodyguard? I don't eat much, and I can fight.]
Everyone in the stream was teasing Yang Tianhe.
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes, also impressed by Yang Tianhe's extravagance.
But he had already "revealed heaven's secrets" and wouldn't interfere further in Yang Tianhe's affairs. After a little more conversation, he ended the call.
Before disconnecting, Yang Tianhe naturally showered him with praise and flattery again, lavishly sending plenty more gifts before reluctantly ending their connection.
This reading of Yang Tianhe's "romantic destiny" and the subsequent change to his fate had given Lin Fan a substantial taste of success.
In this materialistic age, money was the measure of everything. He couldn't simply stick to his shop and fail to make any money.
Livestreaming was a new industry that brought quick money and quick fame.
He could tell people's fortunes, resolve their doubts, and receive so much praise and approval. Anyone who didn't jump at a job like this had to have a screw loose.
Most importantly, he had a system backing him up!
Lin Fan had made up his mind. From now on, he would wade into the world of livestreaming!
Just as he was congratulating himself, another voice suddenly rang out in his mind:
[Congratulations to the host for completing the first task: helping Yang Tianhe change his fate. You have successfully earned 200 heavenly secrets points! Every 100 heavenly secrets points can be exchanged for one prize draw. Please visit the shop to view the prizes.] [Query: Open the shop?] [Open!]
The moment he said to open it, an image suddenly appeared in his mind: a virtual shop filled with all sorts of rare magical treasures.
It looked like a beautifully laid-out Taobao storefront, with a corresponding heavenly secrets point price beneath each prize. At the very center stood an enormous prize wheel labeled: 100 heavenly secrets points for one free draw.
Lin Fan quickly scrolled through the shop's prizes to get a general idea.
[Fortune-Telling Quickstart Compendium. 500 heavenly secrets points. Effect: Absorb a complete collection of fortune-telling knowledge into your mind.] [Myriad Devotions Mental Method. 1,000 heavenly secrets points. Effect: See through people's minds.] [Six-Line Divination. 2,000 heavenly secrets points. Effect: Divine the fate of all living beings with a single reading.]
Looking at the dazzling array in the shop, Lin Fan grew increasingly excited.
Looks like I'll have to work hard to earn heavenly secrets points! These prizes are incredible!
