"Everyone, it's time to test your speed! I've closed connection requests; it will open again in ten minutes."
"However, during this time, I'll perform a special skill for everyone!"
Ling Yi always kept his purpose in mind: to gain Shock Value.
The fortune-telling sessions were just one way for him to maintain the popularity of his live stream.
However, Qu Wanyu's connection did not generate much Shock Value.
Shen Ling was quite Ling Yi was going to perform.
However, the viewers in the live stream were clearly not interested in any special skills or anything like that. Moreover, the mere mention of "special skills" somehow made Ling Yi seem less impressive.
After all, most people came because of the gimmick that Ling Yi could tell fortunes.
Compared to other special skills, people are more interested in seeing Ling Yi tell fortunes.
"Streamer, forget about the special skill, we're tired of seeing the 'three bites of a pig' stuff!"
"That's right, we've finally found an interesting streamer, you can't just go along with their corrupt practices!"
"Going along with the crowd is going too far, but there are too many streamers doing this kind of thing—practicing martial arts and cultivating immortality, treating free shopping as a side job, chanting spells and hand gestures. Streamer, if you imitate them, you'll look low!"
"The summary upstairs is spot on!"
"I'm really curious what kind of amazing skill the streamer will perform? Will he just fly away on Sword Control?"
"How about the streamer undergoes a trial?"
"Why does the streamer need to perform any special skills? It's completely unnecessary. Just stick to live fortune telling, and the viewership will skyrocket. Isn't this just gilding the lily?"
"Perhaps the streamer thinks their special skill is really special?"
Ling Yi looked at the comments in the live stream. Were these girls really reacting this strongly?
Why should I perform a special skill? Damn it, hundreds of thousands of viewers only give me a little over two hundred Shock Value. If I don't show off some amazing skills, where will I get those Shock Value?
"Do you guys have some kind of misunderstanding about special skills? What you're talking about is special effects, it's editing technology!" Ling Yi said with a dark face.
"A skill that others can't do is a true specialty. I'm telling you this: if anyone can perform this specialty, I'll give them a free karmic Karma!"
To ensure his skill was truly exceptional, Ling Yi used up the two hundred-plus Shock Value he had just acquired.
Feeling the increased information and power in his mind, Ling Yi was immediately filled with confidence.

{ Shock Value: 155}
"Watch carefully!" Ling Yi bent down and grabbed a handful of grass leaves from the ground.
"When we read martial arts novels, we often see the line, 'Even a flying flower or a falling leaf can be deadly.' Today, I'll show you what the pinnacle of Hidden Weapons truly is."
As he spoke, Ling Yi showed the viewers in the live stream the grass leaves in his hand, and then casually tossed them toward the tree in front of him.
Daodao soft Air Breaking sounds rang out, followed by several soft "poof" sounds.
Shen Ling ran to the tree with her phone in hand and saw several grass leaves, half of which were stuck into the bark.
Shen Ling was shocked. Her first thought was that this guy was too dangerous and she had to take him to the inspection team for registration.
To verify its authenticity, Shen Ling even touched the exposed grass leaves.
It's all limp and soggy; it's definitely just ordinary strawberry leaves!
But the viewers in the live stream were left with nothing.
Ling Yi was too fast; with a flick of his wrist, the grass leaf was gone, and it slammed into the tree trunk, penetrating several centimeters deep.
It feels like several shoots have grown from a tree trunk.
But this looks so fake!
Ling Yi had thought this wave would shock the treasures, but after looking at the system interface, he found that he had gained dozens of Shock Value.
Isn't that impressive enough?
Seeing the barrage of comments flooding the live stream again, Ling Yi immediately understood the reason.
I was also a little frustrated.
It's not that I'm not good enough, it's just that the things I do are too high-end, making them seem unreal.
If Ling Yi threw a few darts, the effect might actually be better than this.
This immediately dampened Ling Yi's spirits and made him lose the will to continue.
"Stop posing for photos, netizens can already tell it's fake," Ling Yi shouted to Shen Ling, echoing the netizens' sentiments.
If you say it's fake, then it's fake. If you say it's staged, then it's staged.
Moreover, Ling Yi suddenly realized that these skills of his might not be suitable for display.
After all, the idea that even a falling flower or a plucked leaf can cause injury is probably too dangerous for some people to believe.
Look at the way Shen Ling is looking at him; she seems to wish she could just pull out the silver bracelet and take him away right now.
Now, about ten minutes have passed. Oh well, I'll just stick to the live fortune telling!
A few hundred Shock Value a day is already enough.
"Alright, let's pretend what happened just now never happened!" Ling Yi waved his hand and said.
"I'm now enabling the connection feature, guys, it's time to test your speed!"
The viewers in the live stream, who had almost been led astray by Ling Yi's antics, instantly became lively again.
Okay, this seems to be the normal rhythm of Ling Yi's live stream.
Ultimately, Ling Yi is still a new streamer.
There were quite a few viewers, but these viewers couldn't really be called fans; at most, they were just a group of people who enjoyed watching the spectacle, driven by curiosity.
A mature streamer must have their own style.
Ling Yi never considered herself a broadcaster from beginning to end.
Live streaming was just one way for him to gain "Shock Value".
I successfully snagged the ID for the second live stream today; it was just a string of numbers. Finally, I met an ordinary person.
The live stream screen was split in two.
In the video, a person is bending over and searching for something. After a moment, they straighten up while adjusting their mask.
Oh, so he was wearing a mask!
Although this person was wearing a mask, he was one of the few people whose entire upper body could be seen during all the live streams.
Apart from Tutu-chan, Jiu'er, and Brother Li, the others couldn't even be seen in their complete upper bodies.
The previous one only showed one arm.
It's fair to say they've all been quite cautious.
This was a young man who was probably under thirty years old. He had dark circles under his eyes, looked tired, and didn't seem to be in good spirits.
He looks like he hasn't had enough sleep.
Her hair was a little long and messy, and she was wearing a gray pajama set!
You can tell this person is a little nervous!
"Um, hello host, can you really calculate everything?"
"What do you want to be a swindler?" Although Ling Yi knew what this person wanted to be a swindler, he didn't say it directly this time.
"I just want to know if this project I'm working on will succeed!" the young man asked cautiously.
"Yes!" Ling Yi nodded.
"That's great!" the young man exclaimed, waving his arms excitedly.
But Ling Yi's next words left him completely dumbfounded.
You're celebrating too soon!
"Pfft!" Shen Ling, who was standing next to her, almost couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing.
There was no way around it; one was too good, and the other was too happy too soon, which inexplicably tickled her funny bone.
But feeling that laughing like that was inappropriate, she quickly stopped.
But the viewers in the live stream didn't have so many inhibitions, laughing and commenting with "666" and "2333"!
"This project you're working on will succeed, but the success won't be yours, but rather your good friend's and your company's."
"Huh? Why?"
"In other words, the project you worked on was ultimately stolen by your brother, the company reaped the Taozi, and as for you..."
"That bastard Zheng Kai, how could he do such a thing?" The young man did not doubt Ling Yi's words.
He followed Ling Yi during Ling Yi's first live stream, so he had great faith in Ling Yi's fortune-telling abilities.
However, he didn't believe Ling Yi could tell fortunes; what he believed was that Ling Yi truly possessed a Karma Coordination Algorithm.
The young man's name is Guo Qiyun, and he is a programmer.
In theory, given enough data, fast enough processors, and powerful enough algorithms, it is indeed possible to predict the past and future.
Moreover, the project he worked on this time used a similar inference algorithm.
His main purpose in connecting with Ling Yi was not actually to ask Ling Yi to calculate whether the project would succeed, but rather to discuss the algorithm with Ling Yi.
The inference algorithm he developed himself is currently stuck at a bottleneck. It's been half a month, and he still hasn't found a breakthrough.
This is what he really asked Ling Yi for help with.
But now...
Suppressing her anger, Guo Qiyun asked, "What will I do?"
"I was kicked out of the industry and labeled with all sorts of negative tags; I was almost blacklisted by people within the industry."
"After that, your career plummeted, while your friend and your former matchmaking company rose rapidly, opening chain stores all over the country."
Guo Qiyun created a software called "Love Treasure," which is an excellent dating matching app.
Among them, the most valuable is that set of inference algorithms.
Guo Qiyun is a genius in programming, especially in algorithm design.
But they lack social skills and understanding of human relationships.
Well, it's not that I don't understand social etiquette; it's just that as a tech geek, I'm too lazy to cultivate relationships.
"That's not right. Zheng Kai has no access to my program's core code at all. It's not that I look down on him, but I designed my Computer's security code myself; he simply can't crack it."
But at this point, Guo Qiyun suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something.
"Just a heads-up, add a self-destruct mechanism to your program, and encrypt the deduction algorithm. You should know very well that the deduction algorithm is the core of this software."
The young man was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood what Ling Yi meant!
I sent you some things via private message, which I believe will be helpful to you.
"Thank you!" Guo Qiyun said, bowing deeply to Ling Yi with great gratitude.
Ling Yi waved his hand, then ended the call.
Guo Qiyun was really unlucky; he was deceived by his brother and his girlfriend, and he was cuckolded for two whole years without even realizing it.
After ending the call with Guo Qiyun, Ling Yi immediately connected with another person.
The man was still wearing a mask, and he was quite old, probably in his fifties.
She was dressed quite elegantly, wearing head-to-toe designer brands.
The room layout is quite upscale.
He looks like a rich person.
But after reading the man's biography, a look of disgust flashed in Ling Yi's eyes.
Who would have thought that this person would be a beggar!
