The Transmigration Prediction Radar Failed Its Prediction-Time to Stir Things Up, Stir Things Up
World: "Cyberbullying? I Take Control of Karma!"
Crossover Mode: Random Replacement, Complete Replacement Mode!
Seal: Completely sealed...
Halo: None available!
Ling Yi glanced at the Dragon Radar —or rather, the Transmigration Prediction Radar —and curled his lip.
"As expected, this thing can only be used as a reference."
The top three worlds predicted by the Transmigration Prediction Radar this time are " Shrouding the Heavens ", " Justice League ", and " Transformers ".
Clearly, the predicted result had absolutely no connection to the actual world he had traveled to. Ling Yi casually put away the Prediction Radar, knowing he would have to talk to Yin Wanqing about it later.
We can't really treat this thing as a toy.
This is clearly a fictional world set in a modern city.
The identity that Ling Yi randomly switched into was that of the Protagonist of this world.
A social media influencer who exposes counterfeits, or more accurately, a livestreaming e-commerce host who uses the guise of exposing counterfeits.
The videos he posted on his live streaming account were all copied from the internet or were simply riding the wave of trending topics. Whether they were actually fake or not is completely unverifiable.
Therefore, he is not a professional fraud fighter at all.
His reputation as a fraud fighter is just a way to gain more traffic and fool his fans; his main source of income is live-streaming e-commerce.
Even so, after half a year of effort, he gained over a million followers. The key is that he always managed to capitalize on trending topics very timely and effectively.
Many times, the number of likes he gained by riding on trending topics even exceeded the number of likes on the original videos, leading unsuspecting fans to believe that he was the original uploader.
Two months ago, Ling Yi quit all her jobs and started doing live-streaming e-commerce full-time from home.
The credibility of a product promoted by a professional counterfeit hunter is naturally much higher than that of a typical talent show streamer.
In just two months, Ling Yi's savings reached a staggering one million.
This was something Ling Yi never dared to imagine before.
The waters of this industry are far deeper and dirtier than most people imagine.
A bottle of shampoo costs 3 to 5 yuan to produce, is priced at 35 yuan in the live stream, and is finally sold for 20 yuan after discounts on the link.
In this profit sharing arrangement, the streamer takes the Big Head's share between the streamer and the merchant.
The more fans a streamer has, the higher their share of the profits. For example, Ling Yi has 1.2 million fans, so he gets 70% of the profits.
After Ling Yi became familiar with some of the routines, he even started buying directly from the manufacturers in bulk.
You buy a bottle of shampoo for 6 yuan and sell it for 20 yuan.
Several times the profit.
In a live stream two weeks ago, Ling Yi sold 60,000 bottles in just one hour, making a profit of over 800,000 yuan.
If you think this is an exaggeration? Then Ling Yi can only tell you that your perspective is too narrow.
He still has some principles. The same shampoo, sourced from the same manufacturer, costs 6 yuan per bottle, while another streamer quotes it at 280 yuan per bottle in their live stream, with a discounted price of 98 yuan after linking to the product page.
The streamer went on and on about how this product was exclusively supplied to Great Ming, and that it was a one-off, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In short, it made any normal person feel embarrassed.
Even so, they sold 100,000 bottles in just two hours.
How much profit is it? You'll be shocked when you calculate it.
Unbelievable, isn't it? But this kind of thing is very common in the live streaming industry.
Perhaps some livestreaming e-commerce hosts are legitimate, but Ling Yi hasn't encountered a single one.
It can only be said that leeks are too green and easy to cut. As long as the anchor does not overturn, a host with millions of fans can easily buy a house and a car in a year.
However, Ling Yi's attempt to ride the wave of popularity backfired these past few days.
Because Ling Yi's label is "fake news crusader," he follows some real professional fake news crusader accounts in order to collect materials.
Three days ago, a professional counterfeit hunter posted a video.
This professional fraudster's account name is " Big Ghost. Counterfeit Fighter " (fictional, you know what I mean!).
Big Ghost is a veteran fraud fighter; he makes a living by exposing frauds.
The typical operating procedure of these people is that once they target a problematic product, they will ruthlessly destroy it.
For example, expired products sold online, products with false advertising, products with illegal advertising, and products without proper documentation are all their targets.
Once he sets his sights on something, he'll buy the product. Will he offer a tenfold refund for counterfeit goods? Sure, he will.
Many merchants hate people like Big Ghost, but most of the time they can only grit their teeth and accept it.
Otherwise, they'd send you directly to Great Shang bureau, and the consequences would be even more serious.
Dashangjuzi ( Great Shang ) imposes extremely severe penalties on counterfeit and substandard products. These products may face prolonged removal from shelves for rectification, confiscation, and unified Destruction. Most importantly, they will be publicly announced and penalized on the official website.
This is a potentially fatal situation for some businesses.
Do you think that counterfeit hunters buy large quantities of illegal products in order to earn higher "income"?
No, they dare not buy too much. They will calculate the amount of compensation carefully, neither too high nor too low. This is not a matter of greed, but rather that once a certain standard is exceeded, fighting counterfeits becomes a crime.
Moreover, when anti-counterfeiting activists receive money, they generally do not choose online transfers, but rather require face-to-face meetings and direct cash payments, which involves too many intricacies.
The video that Ling Yi used to ride the wave of popularity was posted by Big Ghost three days ago in the early morning.
The content wasn't complicated; this time, he set his sights on a cured meat vendor selling it online.
High sales volume proves that the taste is good, and consumer feedback is also very positive, with almost no negative reviews.
However, this cured meat is a "three-no" product. What is a "three-no" product? It has no production date, no manufacturer, and no product inspection report.
This is a product that even Big Ghost would definitely want to get my hands on.
So he bought 4,800 yuan worth of cured meat. If it was fake, he would receive 48,000 yuan in compensation according to the normal procedure.
In the video, Big Ghost recounted the entire process of cracking down on counterfeits.
This was originally a fairly normal fight video.
Without a second thought, Ling Yi created a copycat video overnight, but changed the perspective from first-person to third-person.
As usual, Ling Yi shared his views at the end of the video.
"We must resolutely crack down on substandard products, especially food. What if people get sick from eating them? Who will be responsible? To put it bluntly, this is tantamount to profiting at the expense of lives."
This video is factual, well-founded, insightful, and thought-provoking, and it immediately became a trending topic.
Just as Ling Yi was happily anticipating gaining more followers and traffic...
Things took an incredible turn.
When Ling Yi woke up the next day, he and Big Ghost had already been publicly executed online.
The video went viral, but the comments section was filled with insults.
In just one night, tens of thousands of comments criticizing him appeared.
Ling Yi was completely dumbfounded.
He quickly discovered the reason.
The owner of this cured meat product is a man in his seventies who also does live streaming.
His livestream room and his cured meat products share the same name: Old Man Bai's Cured Pork.
This old man is just a countryman, and his skill in making cured meat is a traditional craft. He usually makes money by relying on repeat customers.
Live-streaming e-commerce has become very popular in the past two years, and the local government where the old man lives is also actively promoting the development of rural e-commerce.
So village officials helped the old man set up a live-streaming room and an online store, and to their surprise, sales were quite good.
That's not the key point. The key point is that this old man has been using the money he earns from selling cured meat to sponsor some out-of-school children in the village.
Clearly, this is an elderly person with an absolutely positive image, the kind who could be featured on Mama CCTV.
This is a serious matter.
Ling Yi used to ride on other people's popularity, but now all the streamers are starting to ride on his and Big Ghost's popularity.
Ling Yi experienced the horror of cyberbullying for the first time.
The Big Ghost was in an even worse situation than Ling Yi. He realized something was wrong even earlier than Ling Yi, but instead of apologizing, this idiot chose to confront him head-on.
They posted a video with the title. "Only talking about the law, not morality."
Damn it, you've lost all your morals, what kind of law are you talking about?
And besides, you're someone who makes a living by exposing counterfeits, what right do you have to talk about the law? You've been exploiting loopholes all along.
Netizens are furious; the comments section of his video is exploding.
If this idiot had chosen to apologize at this point, things wouldn't have gotten any worse.
He still chose to argue, producing a bunch of documents claiming that the elderly man owned several companies, and that the purpose of these companies was to evade taxes, and so on!
As a result, the local government where the elderly man lived directly clarified on his behalf that the company was set up with the help of the local village government, with the aim of standardizing and branding the elderly man's cured meat products.
However, because the elderly person lived in a very remote mountainous area, and also because the elderly person had difficulty walking, the process was very complicated and took a lot of time.
The local government also apologized online, saying that they did not follow proper procedures in handling the matter.
However, special cases should be treated specially.
Now that things have come to this, do you think the Big Ghost will back down?
No, this man actually took the relevant documents and went directly to court, suing the elderly man.
He has only one reason: he only talks about the law, and he accepts whatever the law decrees.
Is there a problem? No, there isn't. But the key point is, sir, you have to consider the situation.
As a result, the elderly man lost the case, appealing twice and losing both times, since his product was indeed in violation of regulations.
Did Big Ghost win? Ling Yi didn't know. This guy was still livestreaming every day, constantly arguing and bantering with netizens, it was hilarious.
Ling Yi's live streaming account lost over 800,000 followers in just three days.
However, his account has a very high level of popularity, but it's only because of the criticism he receives.
To be honest, Ling Yi didn't really like this Protagonist.
Although he has a bottom line, his values are not quite right, and the money he earns is not honest money.
They even gave him an extremely powerful cheat ability—controlling Karma! Holy crap, such a high-level cheat ability for a Protagonist with such warped values? Have the authors of novels in this world gone mad?
What is controlling Karma? You all understand the butterfly effect, right? Suppose Ling Yi takes a coin as the cause on this side of the city and the death of someone on the other side of the city as the effect.
Then, through a series of coincidences, this coin will ultimately lead to that person's death.
However, now that Ling Yi has replaced the Protagonist, he's bound to cause trouble.
Let's start with this messy online live stream.
