"Don't speak, look outside! My God, this is Shocker!"
Xiao Qiuqiu looked out the car window and saw a chubby little pig raising its right front hoof.
"Wow, this is so cute!" Xiao Qiuqiu's eyes lit up as she exclaimed.
"Cute? What's cute about it? Don't you think it's weird?"
Isn't a little pig that stops cars cute?
"Have you ever seen a normal pig stop a car?" Da Zhou felt a chill run down her spine; she hadn't seen a single bit of cuteness in it.
But Xiao Qiuqiu only thought this little pig was a tiny bit smarter. Isn't a smart little pig cute?
So she ignored Da Zhou, unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and jumped out.
"Hey, Xiao Qiuqiu, you wouldn't be thinking of..." Da Zhou reached out to grab the Xiao Qiuqiu.
But Xiao Qiuqiu was small and quick, getting off the bus in no time and running straight to the pig.
Without a doubt, this little pig is Ling Yi.
Xiao Qiuqiu was afraid of scaring Ling Yi, so it walked very slowly, wearing what it thought was its most friendly smile, and approached Ling Yi little by little.
When Ling Yi saw the girl, he was momentarily stunned. Xiao Qiuqiu?
Looking up again in the direction of the van, the person holding up a phone and filming them seemed to be Da Zhou?
After confirming that it was indeed these two people, Ling Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
He was lucky; after all, these two were big streamers and not short of money, so they probably wouldn't just roast or stew him.
If I act cute and smart, and they adopt me as their pet, that would be perfect.
A very human, obsequious expression appeared on Ling Yi's face.
Then he took a few steps closer to the Xiao Qiuqiu and, amidst the Xiao Qiuqiu's surprised exclamation, rubbed against her trouser leg.
Wow, little piggy, so cute!
But Da Zhou inside the car had a completely different feeling. Ling Yi's fawning smile was so unlike a pig.
What kind of pig makes that kind of expression?
This is absolutely Shocker!
" Xiao Qiuqiu, hurry up and get in the car, don't worry about this pig!" Da Zhou urged Xiao Qiuqiu to get in the car.
only...
"Oh no, Xiao Qiuqiu, why did you bring this pig on the bus?"
"Is that not allowed?"
"Of course not! Putting aside whether it's normal for a pig to take a taxi, this pig clearly has an owner, okay? If we just take it away like this, what's the difference between that and stealing or robbing?"
It must be said that what Da Zhou said makes a lot of sense.
Xiao Qiuqiu thought about it and agreed, but when she met Ling Yi's pitiful look, as if he wanted her adopted, she just couldn't bear to part with him.
Such a smart and adorable little pig is a rare find!
"Can I...?"
"Don't even think about it, just throw the pig out right now!" Da Zhou said with a look of refusal.
"But it's so hot outside. What if the little pig gets sick? What if he gets lost, or a bad person takes him away?"
Ling Yi nodded frantically.
"Look, he's nodding. He must have understood what I said," Xiao Qiuqiu exclaimed in delight.
"Holy crap, don't you think it's weird that this thing nods?"
"That's not surprising. My old Xiaoxiao, Xiao Xiao, could understand me too." Xiao Qiuqiu looked at Da Zhou with a puzzled expression.
" Xiaoxiao is a cat, this is a pig," Da Zhou Qiang emphasized.
Ignoring Da Zhou, the Xiao Qiuqiu instead asked Ling Yi, "Do you have an owner?"
Ling Yi shook his head.
"Look, Da Zhou, the little pig has no owner."
Da Zhou stared at Ling Yi with his mouth agape, a look of utter disbelief on his face. Good heavens, could this pig really understand human speech?
He couldn't help but ask, "Can you really understand what we're saying?"
Ling Yi nodded.
"Gulp!" Da Zhou swallowed hard and asked again, "What exactly are you?"
Ling Yi rolled his eyes at Da Zhou. How am I supposed to answer that?
Even if I answered, it would just be a humming sound; would you understand?
And what do you mean by "what am I"? I'm not a thing, ptooey! I'm a person, just now I've turned into a pig.
Although Ling Yi didn't speak, Ling Yi Da Zhou understood what he meant by his look.
"Holy crap, holy crap, it's become a spirit! This thing is definitely a spirit!"
"Oh dear, Da Zhou, the little pig is just a bit smarter, is it really necessary to make such a fuss? There are plenty of smart animals online."
"Aren't there Akita dogs that can swear and cats that can call for their mothers?"
"That was edited, okay?" Da Zhou was speechless.
Just then, Da Zhou glanced at the live stream and suddenly fell silent.
I don't know when it started, but their live stream viewership has reached over two million, and it's still increasing rapidly.
Da Zhou instantly understood that the popularity was brought about by this little pig.
Although these two top streamers aren't as popular as "A Pig" and "Sadness," it's still Little Qian of money.
Two million views, and you can redeem two hundred yuan tomorrow.
In an instant, Da Zhou's mindset changed.
Looking at Ling Yi's gaze again, she no longer found it strange, and in a short period of time, she had mentally prepared herself again.
Xiao Qiuqiu is right, so what if animals are a little smarter?
Then, Da Zhou couldn't contain his excitement and started making things happen.
"Little piggy, you can hitch a ride, but you have to complete my test first."
Ling Yi straightened up a bit, looked at Da Zhou seriously, and gave a signal with his eyes.
Da Zhou instantly understood Ling Yi's meaning, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "Are you sure it doesn't have a master?"
Ling Yi nodded, his expression serious.
What is one plus one?
"Hmph!" Ling Yi grunted twice.
What is two minus one?
"Snort!"
What is two plus two?
"Hmph hmph hmph!"
"Wow, that's impressive! Here's something harder for you: What's 2956 plus 2853?"
Ling Yi looked at Da Zhou with an expression as if he were an idiot. "Damn it, am I a pig? Even if I could calculate it, could I express it?"
"Pfft!" Da Zhou was amused by Ling Yi's little expression.
Seeing the Ascension popularity of the live stream, Da Zhou's initial fear was completely forgotten.
Nothing is more important than popularity.
" Da Zhou, this is going too far."
Da Zhou pointed at the live stream and laughed, "The live stream has over Wu Bai viewers! We'll have Wu Bai yuan tomorrow!"
"Really?" Xiao Qiuqiu looked delighted.
Although neither of them were short of money, Wu Bai yuan was quite a fortune for them now.
Ling Yi looked completely bewildered. "Seriously? Aren't you big streamers? Why are you short of Wu Bai yuan?"
Fortunately, he passed the test and finally got on the bus, no longer worried about becoming a roast pig at any moment.
Da Zhou was in a great mood, restarted the car, and drove straight to Dafeng City.
"We'll probably have to sleep in the car tonight, so let's Unification," Da Zhou said as he drove, planning for the rest of the night.
"Luckily it's Xia Tian; it would be troublesome in winter. The van is spacious enough for the two of us to sleep in."
"Mmm!" Xiao Qiuqiu nodded, but its eyes never left Ling Yi, clearly not listening.
"Once we get the money from the production team tomorrow, we might as well buy a set of toiletries and bedding, and use the van as a campervan."
"That way we can save money on accommodation."
"But we need to take a bath! The little piggy needs a bath too," said Xiao Qiuqiu.
"It's okay if you don't shower for a day or two, we'll talk about it when you need to."
As Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu talked, Ling Yi understood the gist of it.
He began to plan his next move.
He's definitely going to stick with Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu, but judging from the current situation, following them might mean he'll suffer.
Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu are both top streamers, so it's fine for them to create entertaining content in their live streams, but Ling Yi has his doubts about them earning money without relying on their popularity.
Instead of making them work to earn money, we should find ways to increase the popularity of the live stream.
It's easier to make money by using popularity.
"This production team is really ruthless; they've completely scheming against these streamers," Ling Yi thought to himself.
Ten thousand views only earn you one dollar.
What else could this be but darkness?
Although Ling Yi had never done live streaming before, he was quite knowledgeable about it.
Take Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu for example, their live streams usually have around 100,000 viewers.
Even at its Pinnacle, its popularity only reached around three million.
Three million is equivalent to three hundred dollars.
Three hundred yuan is a lot of money, but this thing is unreliable.
To maintain high viewership in the live stream.
Not only do Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu keep creating mischief, but he also has to create mischief himself.
However, this depends on timing and degree.
He went a bit too far just now.
The reason why the Da Zhou was initially afraid of him was because he was too human.
Although Ling Yi had no experience in acting like a pig, pretending to be stupid was always a good idea.
Otherwise, instead of ending up on the dinner plate, they might end up on the lab bench, sliced up and studied—that would be even worse.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi couldn't help but shudder.
Half an hour later, the car finally arrived in Dafeng City.
Da Zhou parked his car in a parking lot near the park, then put on a mask and sunglasses, preparing to go shopping.
As for Ling Yi, although Xiao Qiuqiu really wanted to take him along, Da Zhou directly refused.
How do I bring my little piggy into the mall?
Meanwhile, a similar video about a little pig also gradually went viral online.
The person who posted the video is named Xinxin, and the video shows Ling Yi kicking his companion over, biting open the latch of the pigpen with his mouth, and finally escaping into the cornfield.
It was voted the smartest pig by netizens.
Some "helpful" netizens, who had nothing better to do, started sharing the video, hoping to help Xinxin find her little pig.
As the buzz grew, people quickly connected the little pig that hitched a ride in Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu's live stream with the little pig that ran away from home in Xinxin's video.
