Wearing a mask was obviously useless, but the girl came up with a self-deceiving solution.
I made a special trip to the pet store and bought Ling Yi a special pet vest.
Nowadays, many people treat their pets like people, and it's common to see them dressed in clothes, shoes, hats, and glasses.
Ling Yi not only put on a vest, but also got a pair of floral pants.
"Will this thing work?" Xiao Qiuqiu asked.
"What else can we do? If anyone asks, we'll just say we're our own fans, fans of Tianpeng."
"But we're live streaming!"
"Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time!" What other options did the Da Zhou have?
"If only Tianpeng could Transformation, into a kitten or a puppy, then no one would recognize him!"
"He's just a pig, you really think he's Zhu Bajie from Journey to the West?"
Da Zhou firmly transferred 300 yuan to the girl before finally seeing her off, though she was reluctant to leave.
The two walked towards the gas station again.
Whether it was the pseudonym that actually worked or not, no one came to watch anymore.
It wasn't that no one recognized them; those shabby vests were just for show and were completely useless.
However, internet celebrities are ultimately a level below stars. Unless you're a true fan, you'd rarely take the initiative to strike up a conversation with an internet celebrity.
However, quite a few people took out their phones to take pictures after seeing Ling Yi.
After all, a pig that can skateboard is a really novel thing.
After buying gasoline, the two immediately headed back, filled up the car, and went straight to the first checkpoint.
Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu only breathed a sigh of relief after the van started moving.
"I'm so hungry!" Xiao Qiuqiu said, rubbing its stomach with a pained expression.
Ling Yi also hummed a couple of times; he was hungry too.
"Let's talk about it when we get to Liaota Temple!" Da Zhou's stomach rumbled twice at just the right moment.
After saying that, he glanced at Ling Yi and reminded him, " Tianpeng, could you please take it easy in the future? Even though we've got your back, you're no One Dish."
"But if you keep causing trouble like this, your supernatural abilities won't be able to be kept secret anymore. Be careful you don't get caught and put on a lab bench for dissection."
Da Zhou said jokingly.
Ling Yi was also having a headache. Damn it, he wanted to earn Achievement Points, but he also wanted to keep a low profile? This was a completely contradictory thing, wasn't it?
To Achievement Points, it's impossible to remain low-key, but the dangers of cutting materials on the test bench are undeniable.
However, Ling Yi wasn't too worried. If he couldn't win, he could just use a cheat code; after all, he had a system.
Wow, our live stream is incredibly popular again! It's even more popular than yesterday, reaching 25 million viewers.
Xiao Qiuqiu glanced at the live stream and exclaimed in surprise.
[Waaaaah, these two women finally noticed us! It's been a long time!]
[That scene with Tianpeng skateboarding really gave me a headache. I've been skateboarding for six years, and I can't be as smooth as Tianpeng!]
[Seriously, are you sure this Tianpeng isn't a spirit?]
[I agree with Da Zhou's assessment; this pig's intelligence seems to have mutated. I suggest dissecting it for research; perhaps we can discover a way to make humans smarter too.]
[Actually, it's not worth much research. There are many mutated organisms in nature, and many intelligent animals. If we could really discover anything from this, then every human being would be Einstein.]
[I don't care about that. All I want right now is Tianpeng. Production team, make an offer.]
[Upstairs, do you think the production team will sell him? Tianpeng is currently the show's biggest draw.]
[To the person above, how much are you willing to pay? Feel free to message me!]
[Upstairs, I think you have a problem.]
[They're intelligent, but not many!]
[Gentlemen, stop talking nonsense. Normal transactions are fine, but let's not get involved in the Minister of Justice affair. Otherwise, am I supposed to buy him and keep him locked in a cage forever?]
I want the Tianpeng; I want to use it to store leather.
This person is dishonest and clearly not a good person. I suggest investigating them!
[From my perspective, nine out of ten people who think like this are repeat offenders.]
The chat in the live stream quickly went off-topic again.
Xiao Qiuqiu said worriedly, " Da Zhou, someone in the live stream is saying they want to steal Tianpeng and sell him for money."
"Are you crazy? Why would you buy Tianpeng? Do you want to taste what Tianpeng herb tastes like?"
Ling Yi rolled his eyes. "Don't say anything. Maybe what you're saying will actually give some people something to think."
There are plenty of people with screws loose; who knows, maybe we'll run into a few lunatics who'll want to roast him?
Ling Yi glanced at the system panel and fell into deep thought.
Should we upgrade it again? Or buy a powerful skill or something?
I still have 550 Achievement Points. 500 points are enough to exchange for a God Grade Hypnosis Technique. Should I...?
Forget it, I'll just keep it and deal with it when we're really in danger.
He's here to accumulate Achievement Points, not to waste Achievement Points.
Anyway, he won't die. At worst, he'll just Reincarnation again, but after Reincarnation, all his power will be reset to zero.
Isn't that a waste?
Waste is out of the question; we should save where we can and spend where we can.
Liaota Temple is located in Mingfu Town, on the western outskirts of Dafeng City, 45 kilometers away from where Ling Yi and his group are now.
Around 1 p. m., the car arrived at a gas station near Mingfu Town.
Xiao Qiuqiu, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up with a start. He habitually wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth before asking, "Why did you stop?"
"Keep it up!" Da Zhou's eyes were red.
Driving at Xia Tian in the sweltering heat is a nightmare; only the driver knows how exhausting it is. Xiao Qiuqiu is sleepy, and Da Zhou is even more so.
Combined with the actual temperature under the car's air conditioning, Da Zhou was already finding it hard to bear.
"Oh, come on, come on, Da Zhou, come on!" Xiao Qiuqiu thought Da Zhou was just messing around, so it clapped and shouted encouragement almost instinctively.
Da Zhou and Ling Yi moved almost in sync. Da Zhou slapped his forehead, while Ling Yi covered his eyes with a pig's trotter.
" Xiao Qiuqiu, what are you adding? I said 'Go for it!' not your 'Go for it!'"
"Ah?"
Da Zhou pointed outside and asked, "Come, what do you pronounce these three characters?"
"At a gas station?"
Xiao Qiuqiu scratched his head sheepishly, "How was I supposed to know that 'cheering' meant this?"
"Also, didn't we fill up with gas this morning? Why do we need to fill up again?"
Da Zhou didn't speak, but Ling Yi jumped onto Da Zhou and tapped the oil dial with his pig's trotter.
Since the car couldn't move in the morning, Da Zhou and the others walked to the gas station to refuel, or rather, to buy gas.
Considering their physical strength, the two naturally wouldn't buy too much, only about five liters.
In the Later, they had to use a skateboard to carry it back.
Their van needs about 40 liters of gas to fill up, so these 5 liters are just enough to fill it up.
If we don't accelerate, even Da Zhou won't dare to operate.
It can only run another five or six kilometers at most before it breaks down.
This time, of course, he wanted to fill up the gas tank, but when it came time to pay, Da Zhou's face turned ugly, and he asked three times in a row, "Are you sure it's Wu Bai?"
Xiao Qiuqiu didn't understand why Da Zhou asked the price three times, but Ling Yi instantly realized that Da Zhou and the others had been ripped off.
But Da Zhou didn't argue with this person much, nor did he have the Kung Fu Hustle do so.
After starting the car, he had Xiao Qiuqiu point the phone camera at him and said with utmost seriousness, "I, from the Da Zhou, am filing a formal complaint against the gas station on Route 131 in Mingfu Town."
"This car was provided by the production team. It can hold a maximum of 40 liters of fuel. Even if you fill it up to 40 liters, not counting the fuel that was left in the tank, it will only cost a little over 300 yuan at most."
"He charged me Wu Bai yuan, which is almost eight yuan per liter of gas, meaning I had to fill my tank with a full 70 liters of gas."
"Excuse me, where did those thirty liters of fuel go?"
"I've never seen such a rip-off gas station in my Da Zhou. If it were just ten or eight yuan overcharged, that would be one thing, but this is almost three hundred yuan overcharged."
It's clear that Da Zhou is really angry.
Although Da Zhou knew it wasn't appropriate to do this on the show, she was now caught up in the moment.
Following closely behind, the gas station in Mingfu Town became famous and even trended on social media.
This action by the Da Zhou authorities has alarmed countless people.
Afterwards, it not only alarmed the Dafeng City authorities, but also directly triggered a wave of strict inspections targeting gas stations across the country.
Da Zhou and Xiao Qiuqiu's live streams were already popular, and this time, their popularity soared even higher.
By around 2 PM, the number of views had reached 40 million.
Of course, popularity is not the number of viewers; popularity is an overall parameter that combines data such as bullet comments, gifts, and activity levels.
Da Zhou and her friends' live stream currently has over three million online viewers.
This is already incredibly impressive, considering the show has only been running for a little over a day.
" Da Zhou, we've surpassed 40 million views now!" Xiao Qiuqiu exclaimed in surprise.
"What's the situation with the other groups?" Da Zhou had calmed down by now and knew that Xiao Qiuqiu was trying to change the subject and keep the conversation going.
"The second-ranked group is Xiaohan and her father. Hehe, they only have less than four million followers right now, while we have ten times more."
"Hey, are you getting cocky? You're looking down on four million viewers? We're lucky if we get three million viewers during our live streams, okay?"
"We have Tianpeng, hehe!"
Ling Yi was very curious; he had never heard of the Xiaohan father-daughter duo.
So Ling Yi kept poking at the Xiao Qiuqiu's headlights, humming to himself.
" Tianpeng, you better behave yourself!" Xiao Qiuqiu blushed instantly.
"You don't actually want to watch the live stream, do you?"
Ling Yi nodded vigorously. "Okay, your comprehension is perfect."
Xiao Qiuqiu's phone was live-streaming and needed a specific video angle, so she couldn't just give it to Ling Yi. Instead, Xiao Qiuqiu took out Da Zhou's phone and opened the program's live-streaming room.
" Xiao Qiuqiu, do you think Tianpeng understands what live streaming is?" Da Zhou asked with a smile as he searched for a restaurant by the roadside.
"If you don't understand it, you can't watch it. You'll understand it soon enough if you watch it."
"Just keep indulging him!" At this moment, Da Zhou's eyes lit up as he spotted a restaurant called Fortune Arrives Restaurant.
It's quite large, with four floors.
The decor is a bit tacky; it's all gold and red from top to bottom.
The two people and the pig were all extremely hungry. After getting out of the car, they went straight to the restaurant and asked for a private room.
"I want to eat meat!" Xiao Qiuqiu shouted.
"How about some boiled sliced pork and fried pork belly with blood sausage?" Da Zhou asked, swallowing hard.
"These are all main dishes, won't the food take a long time to arrive?"
"Then let's have another dish of braised pork with bean curd slices, and two bowls of rice to start with!"
" Tianpeng, what would you like to eat?" Xiao Qiuqiu asked Ling Yi.
"Come on, if you keep asking Tianpeng questions and he suddenly starts talking, that'll be really awkward."
