Ninety Below Zero

Biodata

Background / History

Longtime Viewer

Ninety Below Zero was a frequent commenter before receiving a reading himself. He defended Lin Fan when Xia Xinyu blamed the fortune-teller for his grandfather’s death, arguing that Lin Fan was not responsible for the family’s misfortunes 35. After repeatedly missing selection for a call, he jokingly asked Lin Fan to play favorites; Ragdoll Cat teased him about his poor luck 85.

Health and Employment

Lin Fan deliberately selected him as a longtime viewer and immediately warned him against becoming too excited because of his heart disease. During the reading, Lin Fan identified him as twenty-seven-year-old Li Qiang, a programmer who had spent three years at an IT company without promotion. His inability to work overtime because of his condition had cost him opportunities for advancement and raises 90.

The reading also exposed his running deception in the fan group: he had claimed to tighten screws at an electronics factory. After Ragdoll Cat and other viewers called him out, he admitted the lie and promised to send the group cash gifts after the broadcast 90.

Lin Fan warned that continuing at the company could leave him with only two years to live. Li Qiang asked about his prospects if he quit, but explained that his family’s debts and dependence on his income made leaving difficult. The reading presented a choice between protecting his health and supporting his family; his eventual employment decision is not established 90.

Relationship and Invitation

By the time of Yuan Huohuo’s reading, other viewers mentioned that Lin Fan had helped Ninety Below Zero find a romantic match 209. He later explained that he and his girlfriend had already known each other well before Lin Fan brought them together, and that he came to regard her as his true love 448.

His relationship also became a source of livestream teasing. After he expressed envy of Yang Yun’s life with identical twin sisters, Lin Fan announced that Ninety’s girlfriend was pinning him to the sofa for his comment 338.

Following Lin Fan’s two-day sleep, Ninety enthusiastically praised even that achievement. Lin Fan laughed at the exaggeration and invited him to visit the shop. Already living in Jiangzhou, Ninety became excited because he understood the invitation as an opportunity from Lin Fan 759 760.

Personality

Ninety Below Zero is talkative, playful, and openly admiring of Lin Fan. He hopes that frequent commenting will make his username recognizable enough to earn a call, jokes with fellow regulars, and sometimes praises Lin Fan so extravagantly that other viewers accuse him of flattering the streamer 90 210 759.

His admiration does not prevent him from questioning a reading. He initially doubts that the apparently honest Old Man Wu could be a murderer and challenges Lin Fan’s claim that Wu Qingrou scammed her date 149 499. His comments can also be insensitive: he calls Lu Mu fragile after hearing a prediction of suicide, and apologizes after describing Zhu Mingyu’s tragic situation as “interesting” 273 568.

He also shows concern for vulnerable people. He sympathizes with an elderly woman deceived by a scammer, supports helping Zhou Qiqi continue her education if she abandons her harmful friendships, and cautions Li Wenxin against risking her life without considering her family 810 856 935.
