When Ling Yi drew the curtains again and turned on the projector, the viewers in the live stream went wild.

Having learned from the previous experience, the audience clearly understood Ling Yi's rhythm this time.

No one posted any comments; instead, they immediately started screen recording, ready to witness the truth.

"Looks like someone sent it to the wrong email address again," Ling Yi said with a smile.

" Baichi Electronic Components Factory, whoever came up with this name is truly ingenious. Bai Chi, does it sound like 'idiot'? I don't know if they're treating leeks (a metaphor for easily exploited consumers) as idiots, or if they're implying that they themselves are idiots."

"Let's see the real identities of these young ladies, but before you open the photos, I advise those of you who are eating or drinking to stop, I'm afraid you can't handle it."

There are a total of six sets of information on the young women, the youngest being 29 years old and the oldest 36 years old.

"This is somewhat unexpected. These young ladies all have good figures and are reasonably good-looking."

"This is... a price list? The most expensive is eight thousand, and the cheapest is fifteen thousand?"

"We can contact the police officer now."

"Let's look at the information about this electronics factory. The factory itself is fake; this is a warehouse? Never mind, just watch the video."

In the video, what appears to be an electronics factory is actually a huge warehouse with only a few corners containing long tables and some workers in overalls pretending to be busy.

The factory is fake, so the job postings are obviously fake too. They don't actually hire anyone; they're just using the guise of hiring to post these videos of scantily clad women dancing.

However, the live stream room of this streamer's account featured various electronic products such as Bluetooth headsets, earphones, keyboards, and mice.

Needless to say, the origin of these products is not exactly legitimate.

These products were originally defective products rejected from the production line, and under normal circumstances, they would be recycled and remanufactured.

But now they're labeled as qualified, branded as genuine products, and openly sold.

A regular Bluetooth headset, market price 35, discounted price 15.

The cost price was less than 1 yuan; the streamer bought it by weight...

"That's a bit exaggerated; monthly sales reached over nine million."

"Are you all too easy to fleece? You should be more careful!"

Just then, Ling Yi's phone suddenly rang.

This is an unknown number; more than 3,700 people have already marked it as a scam number.

Ling Yi answered the call directly and then pressed the speakerphone button.

" Ling Yi, you're pretty awesome." The other person's voice had been specially processed; it was an electronic mixed voice.

"Um?"

This opening doesn't seem like a scam.

"Shut down the live stream immediately, or you'll truly witness the power of capital."

"A threat?" Ling Yi laughed, and at the same time, he began to use his cheat-like abilities.

Ling Yi knew he might be threatened, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"That's right, it's a threat. I know you have some tricks up your sleeve, but these tricks can kill people."

"Wait a minute, it seems like someone accidentally sent a new email to my inbox. Are you watching the live stream right now? Guess what's in this email?"

" Ling Yi..."

" Jin Hai, the planning director of Meilian Electronic Technology Co., Ltd.., that livestreamer got her goods from you, right?"

" Ling Yi, you're dead. I'm just a nobody; you have no idea how deep the waters here are."

After finishing speaking, the other party hung up the phone immediately.

Ling Yi put her phone aside and smiled at the camera.

"This only proves one thing: I'm doing the right thing now, and they're panicking."

"Alright, that's all for today's live stream. I'll probably be going live around the same time tomorrow. Everything has a cause and effect, and your karma is me. See you tomorrow!"

At that very moment, Yin Wanqing, within the Ling Realm, was suspended in mid-air, frowning as she looked at the virtual screen in front of her.

The screen displays an extremely complex set of data curves, with nearly a hundred densely packed curves that fluctuate up and down over time.

This is Fortune Monitoring Chart, another prop that Yin Wanqing created after the semi-finished Transmigration Prediction Radar.

Unlike semi-finished Prediction Radar, this Fortune Monitoring Chart is much more accurate.

Each curve above represents a Protagonist of Karmic Luck.

Some are from the Ling Realm, and others are from other worlds.

Ye Tian, Lin Feng, Zheng Hai, Zhang Wuji, Tony Stark, and Zhang Xiaofan were all prominently featured.

The purpose of creating the Fortune Monitoring Chart is simple: to monitor the Changes in the Karmic Luck of these Protagonist the Karmic Luck at any time, and then, based on these Changes, to infer the Changes in the overall popularity of the world.

In other words, this is a data chart used to reflect the popularity of a novel.

Yin Wanqing's expression was extremely solemn at this moment.

She's not afraid of the data curve going down or up; what she fears most is this kind of extreme fluctuation with no discernible pattern.

Yin Wanqing took out the Myriad Realms Phone and contacted Ling Yi for the first time.

Ling Yi, who had just finished his broadcast, was also somewhat surprised by the call from Yin Wanqing.

Under normal circumstances, Yin Wanqing rarely took the initiative to contact Ling Yi when he was traveling through time.

"Beauty..."

What world are you in now?

"Um, what happened in a modern urban world?"

Send me your memory data from this period of time.

"Hey, it's rare to see you so serious. What happened? You should know that once I use the laws of this world, my points will drop drastically," Ling Yi said, frowning.

"Tell me orally!" Yin Wanqing sighed. Ling Yi was still obsessed with points, which disappointed her.

In Yin Wanqing's view, even if Ling Yi raised the Law Analysis Aura to level 100, it wouldn't make much difference.

It's meaningless, at least until the novel is finished.

Ling Yi is the Protagonist now, and what he needs is popularity and the recognition of readers. If he loses popularity, everything in this world will vanish.

As long as the novel is not finished, Ling Yi will never truly escape the author's control.

Yin Wanqing did not want Ling Yi to constantly Reversal the author and always try to Boundary Breaking.

Otherwise, if the Uncle develops negative emotions, the consequences could be disastrous.

The author, an Uncle, can simply stop writing altogether and abandon the project. For someone who isn't a full-time online novelist, it won't have any impact whatsoever.

But what about Ling Yi and the others?

There may only be one outcome... Oblivion!

Fortunately, the Uncle seems to be a person who finishes what he starts, so the possibility of him abandoning the project is almost nonexistent.

Ling Yi recounted everything that had happened since he came to this world.

Yin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems it's not your problem; something must have happened on Uncle's side."

"The author got into trouble?" Ling Yi said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Yin Wanqing rolled her eyes and said, "What good would it do you and me if Uncle got into trouble? Judging from the setting of this novel world, the internet in Uncle's world must be quite lively right now."

"The sooner this world ends, the better."

Ling Yi asked, puzzled, "Why? I find it very interesting!"

" The Uncle is a very emotional person, which is not a good thing for an online novel author, because readers often cannot understand the author's emotions."

"Online novels are meant for readers to enjoy during their leisure time; including too much emotion will only make readers feel disgusted."

"This world is filled with too many of Uncle emotions; let it end as soon as possible."

Ling Yi didn't quite understand, but still nodded and said, "Okay!"

After hanging up the video call, Yin Wanqing stared at the rapidly fluctuating popularity curve and said helplessly, "Hopefully, Ling Yi's Reversal this time will wake the Uncle up."

"One is capricious, the other is unrestrained; they really are... a real headache!"

The next morning, just before nine o'clock, Ling Yi, who was preparing to start his broadcast, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Ling Yi frowned, grabbed a deck of cards from the table, and then opened the door.

Seeing the handsome young man in the plaid shirt in front of him, Ling Yi was stunned for a moment...

He asked, "Who are you?"

"Hello, I'm Ke Ziheng, the one online known as ' King.Heng '."

"Did you need something?" Ling Yi's attitude wasn't exactly friendly. Regardless of the reason, this kind of intrusive behavior is always off-putting.

"I mainly came to thank you for your help yesterday. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't dare to go online anymore."

"Brother, you have no idea how frustrated I've been these past few days."

"You're a super-rich second-generation heir, you can easily spend some money and have plenty of people help you solve this problem, right?"

"I want to too, but my dad is stopping me. He's given me a long Great Dao, but he has no idea how terrible cyberbullying is these days."

"If you don't speak up, it will be taken as an admission. A few days ago, a group of reporters and internet celebrities surrounded my dad's company. They wouldn't listen to any explanations and just did a live stream outside the company, saying incredibly nasty things, which was no different from spreading rumors..."

Perhaps because he had suffered too much injustice and frustration these past few days, Ke Ziheng was completely unaware of how awkward his excitement would make a complete stranger he was meeting for the first time.

Moreover, with the two of them standing right at the door, Ling Yi had no intention of letting Ke Ziheng into the room.

Ke Ziheng Fengyun in the game, but he is clearly socially inept in real life.

Anyone else would have noticed Ling Yi's impatience by now, but Ke Ziheng was completely oblivious to it.

Seeing him still reminiscing about life, the internet, and family, seemingly ready to go on and on, Ling Yi gave a helpless, bitter smile.

He understood that this was Ke Ziheng's recognition of him; otherwise, Ke Ziheng might not have paid any attention to anyone else.

"I'm about to start my broadcast," Ling Yi reminded him.

"Can I go in and take a look?"

Just as Ling Yi was about to refuse, he suddenly saw the elevator diagonally opposite open, and six burly men wearing masks walked out.

Upon seeing Ling Yi, the six men's eyes lit up, and they each drew short knives hidden in their sleeves, charging towards Ling Yi and his companions.

"You go into the room first." Ling Yi grabbed Ke Ziheng, threw him inside, and then tossed a handful of playing cards out like a shower of petals...
