Wearing a thin red gauze dress, Yunshang danced lightly on the flower platform, her graceful figure swaying like a butterfly fluttering down to the petals.

The audience cheered and applauded.

When reciting poetry, you can't just go up and recite a poem and be done with it.

There will definitely still be work to be done.

Just like those livestreamers before Ling Yi's transmigration.

There are plenty of good-looking streamers; only those who can create engaging content become popular.

The butterfly dance in Yunshang's red dress was her specialty.

However, Ling Yi was currently pondering a question.

"With people making so much noise down there, will they be able to hear the poetry recitation later?"

However, Ling Yi overlooked one thing: in this world, there are Martial Dao and Immortal Dao.

Even without the Immortal Dao, some Martial Dao arts techniques can have various miraculous effects.

For example, the sound amplification effect.

Yunshang sang as she danced.

"Butterfly Fragrance Dance!"

"Colorful butterflies flutter and dance amidst the fragrance, a gentle song is sung, and I know it is I."

"They don't know that the butterfly is the fragrance in the dance, but rather that the butterfly in the dance is the guest of fragrance."

Regardless of whether the poem is good or bad, the amplification effect is excellent.

The news spread to almost every corner of the hall.

The key point is that no amplification equipment was used.

This Yunshang was clearly the result of some kind of Kung Fu Hustle.

Ling Yi swept his finger across his eyes.

The entry for Yunshang appeared before my eyes.

[ Tang Yunshang, Ninth Pin Martial Practitioner (Sealed), Talent: None]

This Yunshang is actually an entry-level Martial Practitioner, although only at the Ninth Pin, which is still quite rare.

No wonder he can use some of the Lion's Roar Technique techniques.

Looking at the other five women, they were all rank-1 Martial Practitioner.

Including the Lü Yuan.

The lowest rank was Ninth Pin, and the highest rank was even First Pin Martial Practitioner, namely Fangfei.

Just one step away from reaching the Innate.

Moreover, three out of the six women were surprisingly talented.

Lü Yuan's Photographic Memory, Fangfei's Vast Righteous Qi, and the Power of Shadow of the previous Flower Queen, Qianxue.

The Photographic Memory has been Copy. I don't know what the Vast Righteous Qi is used for, but the price of Copy is very expensive, 500 taels of silver.

It's even more expensive than the Hidden Asgard.

Ling Yi truly couldn't understand it. This Hidden Asgard should be a priceless treasure, so why Copy only cost 200 taels of silver?

I don't even know how my "golden touch" determines prices.

As for the Power of Shadow, it can Copy for two hundred taels of silver.

Shadow —that sounds like something related to abilities like stealth, escape, and speed.

Perhaps, it can bring unexpected results.

After a moment's hesitation, Ling Yi chose to Copy.

Two more hundred-tael silver notes disappeared.

Ling Yi has gained another talent.

After receiving the Power of Shadow, Ling Yi was overjoyed.

This Power of Shadow was far stronger than Ling Yi had imagined.

It can even control Shadow.

Shadow are virtually everywhere.

Ling Yi can use Shadow to create Shadow Puppet, whose strength is comparable to his original body, but the Shadow Puppet can only exist within Shadow.

But who doesn't have a Shadow?

They can also control the Power of Shadow, hiding themselves in the Shadow and moving through any place with Shadow.

Power, range, and area are determined by physical strength.

Combined with the Ox and Horse Physique, the Power of Shadow will unleash unimaginable effects.

"This Qianxue is no ordinary person. With such abilities, do you think Qin Changming's plan will succeed?"

"However, whether Qin Changming succeeds or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Yunshang had finished reciting a poem, but she did not leave immediately.

But she continued dancing.

Her swaying figure was nothing short of showing off.

Beside the tipping counter on the first floor, a burly young servant stood with his hands on his hips and shouted, "Miss Yunshang, recite a poem and perform the Butterfly Fragrance Dance!"

Although the shout wasn't loud, it was enough to cover every corner of the scene.

It is evident that this person has mastered this ability to a highly refined level.

Looking at the entry, sure enough, this is also a Martial Practitioner has reached the entry level.

It seems that the power of these Loudspeaker, originating from the Bureau of Entertainment ), has become somewhat excessive!

And then the burly young servant shouted.

It was as if a signal had been sent.

People started throwing gold and silver jewelry onto the tipping table.

But the burly servant's mouth was never idle; he would shout out for every additional piece of gold and silver jewelry added to the reward table.

"Number Jia 332, a box of Kingpin as a reward."

"Ding 455, reward ten Mingyu pearls."

"Number C003, reward fifty silver ingots."

Ling Yi was surprised to find that tipping could be this extravagant in ancient times.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of gold and silver jewelry piled up on the tipping platform, making people dizzy from looking at it.

This level of reward must be worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?

Ling Yi swallowed hard, his gaze deepening.

Previously, such a plan would have been impossible, but now, with the Power of Shadow and the spatial abilities of the Hidden Asgard, perhaps a big one can be planned.

If this succeeds, there will be no shortage of money for Copy Talent for a considerable period of time.

"The time it takes for an incense stick to burn is up; any further rewards will be disregarded." This was the shout from the burly servant.

This round of rewards marks the end of the event.

"Collect and settle accounts!" the burly servant shouted again.

The next moment, Ling Yi and the other three, each carrying a wooden box, went up to the reward platform.

Tonight, Ling Yi and his three companions are specifically here to do this job.

The four men each took charge of one direction, and as quickly as possible, they packed the gold and silver jewelry into the boxes.

After leaving the tipping station, walk through a corridor and take the gold and silver into a room.

Another group of people will be here to sort out the accounts, settle the accounts, and keep records.

As Ling Yi walked through the corridor, he saw the other three servants each hiding several Kingpin in their pockets.

Ling Yi hesitated for a moment, then took a few silver ingots as well.

Among these gifts, the most expensive were the ten pearls.

One is worth a thousand taels of silver.

But precisely because this thing is too expensive, I can't afford it.

Besides that, there are various kinds of jewelry, bracelets, necklaces, rings, hairpins, etc., all made of gold and silver. There are almost no jade or other precious stones.

After all, jade artifacts are fragile and easily damaged, becoming worthless if dropped or bumped.

Then came the Kingpin.

Kingpin are actually more valuable than gold and silver jewelry.

But Kingpin are even more unacceptable.

These things are limited in quantity; even missing just one can easily be detected.

The other three servants dared to take it, but Ling Yi truly dared not.

Even if this was truly tacitly approved from above, a kind of unspoken rule, Ling Yi couldn't do anything about it.

Ling Yi didn't want to be punished or get into too much trouble because of this.

Silver ingots were the most common type of reward given.

The lighter ones cost ten taels, the heavier ones fifty taels.

Ling Yi only took a small silver ingot worth ten taels.

Taking nothing at all probably won't work either.

Since the other three took it, but Ling Yi didn't, what will the other three think?

If you get labeled as breaking the rules, it will still be troublesome.

After storing the gold and silver in the vault, the four returned.

There was no communication between them.

Following Yunshang, Wenruo and Changnü made their appearances.

The three women received roughly the same amount of tips.

Ling Yi also saw through some of the tricks of the trade.

Some of these tips are pre-arranged, especially the high-value tips.

There must be a lot of shady dealings involved.

"Who says people in ancient times didn't know how to have fun? The tricks used in this grand prize giveaway are no less sophisticated than those used by streamers in my previous life."

However, none of this has anything to do with Ling Yi.

Ling Yi is currently hesitating about something.

Should we prevent Lü Yuan Duck from taking the stage?

Once Lü Yuan Duck takes the stage, with her poetry and music, even if there are various unspoken rules involved, she is very likely to become the most beautiful courtesan.

Otherwise, the cover-up would be too obvious, and that wouldn't look good.

Any competition that loses its fairness loses its reason for existence.

Even if this fairness is only superficial, it is still unfair in itself.

The key question is how to stop it.
