"Damn, you don't know what's good for you! You're clueless and beyond saving!"

"Master Xiao, I say we stop bothering with this scumbag. If he won't believe what you say about the future, we can't prove it anyway."

"Exactly! If he doesn't believe it, screw him. Nobody's forcing him to! He throws our kindness right back in our faces!"

"Disgusting!"

"People like him should just be dragged out and shot ahead of time! Keeping him around only brings trouble. He'll get other people killed someday."

"He's a cancer on society!"

Since Xiao Yu had decided to persuade him, he was naturally confident he could.

He smiled assuredly. "Mr. He, I know you don't believe me. That's only natural. After all, in today's society, the idea that fortune-telling is a scam has long been deeply ingrained."

"I can prove what I said! And I can prove my abilities!"

"If you take your bed apart right now, you'll find a transit card wedged in a gap. You lost it a long time ago and thought someone had stolen it."

"You can also take out your phone and keep track of the time, because in five minutes, a basketball will hit your window!"

"If that's still not enough, find a coin and toss it at random. I'll guess heads or tails right here on the livestream, over the internet! How does that sound?"

What...

How could that possibly be done?!

He Yi instinctively checked the time, then immediately went to take his bed apart without another word. Sure enough, he found the transit card!

Cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

By the time he finished taking the bed apart, roughly five minutes had passed. A sudden, soft thump gave him a terrible fright.

A basketball had hit his window!

But the impact wasn't hard enough to break the glass.

He stared in terror at Xiao Yu on his phone screen, as though he were looking at an all-knowing, all-powerful deity.

"You... you... it's a coincidence. It has to be! How could fortune-telling exist in this world? How could there be mysterious powers? This isn't scientific! It's completely unscientific! It goes against everything I've learned about science since I was little!"

Seeing him drenched in sweat, the Livestream Viewers all began teasing him!

"We didn't believe it at first either, until Master Xiao showed up."

"Master Xiao shattered my entire worldview ages ago. You're not the first, and you won't be the last!"

"Hahaha!"

"Come on, there's still the coin toss! Hurry up and quit stalling!"

Xiao Yu looked at him and said calmly, "Go ahead. Let's do the coin toss."

"Fine! Everything just now was a coincidence! I don't believe a word you say! And I'm not falling for your tricks. I'll toss the coin off camera, so you won't have any chance to cheat! I'll expose you!"

Xiao Yu shrugged and laughed. "Suit yourself."

He Yi forced himself to look calm, wiped away his cold sweat, and found a coin. Sure enough, he tossed it off camera.

"Go on, guess."

"Heads."

He got it right?

He Yi shuddered, a chill rising inside him.

Fear clung to him like maggots burrowing into his bones.

What terrified him wasn't anything else, but his own dreadful future.

If he couldn't disprove this man, if this man was the real deal, then his future...

He Yi didn't dare think any further.

"...A coincidence. You win the first round. Again!"

He tossed it again.

"Heads."

He tossed again, and Xiao Yu got it right. He kept tossing, and Xiao Yu kept getting it right!

"No, no, no, no, no! Again!"

"...Then toss it."

"I did!"

"You didn't toss it this time."

What? What, what, what, what?!

He could even divine that?

Holding his phone, He Yi lay slumped on the bed, speechless and drenched in cold sweat, his body trembling.

"So... so... you really can tell fortunes. Everything you said was right, including my future..."

He had finally admitted it.

The Livestream Viewers couldn't have been more satisfied.

"So that's another way to prove it!"

"Master Xiao is freaking awesome!"

"6666!"

"Too powerful! Too slick! Absolutely unbeatable!"

"Master Xiao got everything right. Dude, do you still not believe him?"

"If you don't change, your future's going to be miserable!"

As though those words had reminded him, He Yi suddenly understood what he needed to do.

He rolled over onto his stomach on the bed and prostrated himself fully.

"Master Xiao, I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please don't hold it against a nobody like me! And please tell me what I should do, how I should change, to avoid that future. My grandparents-I can't lose them! Will it be enough if I stop smoking and playing with firecrackers?"

Seeing that he was finally willing to listen, Xiao Yu smiled. "Changing yourself is actually very simple. Changing your future is even simpler.

You've made some friends of questionable character. Stay away from them from now on. After that... study hard and improve every day. It's as simple as that.

Follow that advice and develop sound values, and you'll naturally be able to change your future!

Smoking and playing with firecrackers don't really matter. If you don't change your nature, your grandparents will die some other way. You won't escape the fact that they 'died because of you.'

If you can also start doing good and accumulating virtue, performing more good deeds, then your future will naturally become even brighter...

Cause and effect come full circle, and karmic retribution never fails! Just because you can't see or touch the virtue you accumulate doesn't mean it doesn't exist!"

When Xiao Yu finished speaking, cheers filled the livestream!

"Well said, Master Xiao! That was amazing! Have a like! And some gifts!"

"Wow, I've got goosebumps all over!"

"Study hard and improve every day, OMG! I hear that all the time and feel nothing. I even think it's childish. But coming from Master Xiao, why does it suddenly feel so inspiring?"

"From now on, society has one less scumbag!"

"And maybe even one more good person!"

In the end, He Yi accepted Xiao Yu's advice, admitted his mistakes, thanked him, and sent a rocket gift before disconnecting.

"All right, that's enough about He Yi. Let's leave it there. Now, let's welcome the next viewer who won the draw."

Yi Shuihan posted a screenshot. "Streamer, I won too."

"All right, connect the video."

Then a beautiful woman in a police uniform appeared.

"Wow, my wife! Everyone, look! My wife!"

"Screw you! She's obviously my wife!"

"Everyone above, get lost! Nobody's allowed to fight me for her. She's my wife!"

Xiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't expecting a beautiful Police Beauty. What would you like your fortune read about?"

"Well, I originally received a report and only wanted to expose your scam, but I don't think that way anymore. Since I won the draw, I just wanted to say hello to you, cutie. Honestly, my life is wonderful. There's nothing I want a reading about."

"I see."

"Then I won't keep you from telling people's fortunes, handsome. See you again if fate allows!"

The connection ended.

Yi Shuihan left the livestream.

"Sweetheart, don't go! Sweetheart!"

"Why did she leave as soon as she arrived?!"

A group of Livestream Viewers all typed their laments into the chat.

"All right, since she doesn't want a reading, let's welcome today's final Livestream Viewer..."
