Chapter 16 Live Streaming? That's what I do!
"Jingle bells..."
On the phone screen, the sound of a file scraping against metal continued, while the fire crackled and burned in the background.
Xu Yuan stared blankly at the wilderness forging video, which claimed to be "top-notch sleep aid."
More than two hours have passed, and he is still far from feeling sleepy.
"Huff... huff... huff..."
A soft, even breathing sound came from beside me.
Make a wish and turn your head.
He saw that Bevy had somehow slumped onto his bed, curled up, fast asleep. Her long eyelashes cast quiet shadows beneath her eyelids.
We agreed to study hypnosis together.
Did the person who vowed to "observe" end up being "hypnotized" first?
However, seeing that Beiwei was sleeping soundly, Xu Yuan did not wake her up or disturb her.
He simply covered her with the blanket and then left the room.
It's not really appropriate for a lone man and woman to sleep in the same room.
However, when Xu Yuan pushed open the door and came out, he saw a scene that shocked him to his core.
Old Xu was dressed in a sharp suit, his hair neatly combed, and he was passionately spitting into his phone.
"Family! Let's give it our all! We're about to beat that imposter who claims to be Xu Yuan!"
"I am Xu Yuan's real, undisputed father! Officially certified! If I win this battle, I'll show my family my son's birth certificate! It says in black and white, Father: Xu XX!"
"Family members, vote! Go for him!"
With a roar from Old Xu, a burst of rousing music filled the living room.
Make a wish: ?
While munching on a cheese stick on the sofa, Xu Meng, who was in charge of managing the live stream, saw Xu Yuan come out and quickly ran over.
"Brother, you're out." Xu Meng looked at him with a strange gaze. "Where's Sister Bei Wei?"
"She's asleep, don't disturb her."
Xu Meng: !!
As expected, he's my brother!
Xu Meng's gaze became even more eerie.
Although Xu Meng is not yet in high school, children in today's society are becoming more precocious...
However, Xu Yuan was in no mood to care what Xu Meng usually watched. He pointed to Lao Xu, who was already engrossed in his studies.
"Old Xu, what's going on...?"
"Live stream, huh!" Xu Meng shrugged, her expression subtle. "This all started after you two came in..."
After Xu Yuan and Bei Wei entered the room, Lao Xu and Xu Meng started scrolling through their phones out of boredom.
Of course, the hottest topic today is making wishes, but the direction of public opinion has changed.
Xu Yuan has been hailed as a role model for students from underprivileged backgrounds, and news accounts are full of praise for him.
The two even came across a man who claimed to be Xu Yuan's classmate from kindergarten, who was live-streaming and recounting Xu Yuan's past.
This man also opened up a new world for Lao Xu.
As Xu Yuan's biological father, Lao Xu knows very well that Xu Yuan has never attended kindergarten!
All the stories that man told were fabricated.
But the audience loved watching it.
The number of viewers in the live stream is approaching 10,000!
Gifts and tips have never stopped!
If a fake classmate can earn so much money, then wouldn't his real father be able to earn even more?
So, Lao Xu decisively clicked on the live stream...
Moreover, as expected of "the father of a scoundrel," Lao Xu found his path very easily—still based on the theory of "only stealing from thieves."
He specifically connected with those livestreamers impersonating Xu Yuan's deskmate, classmate, or relative to expose their frauds, creating a wildly entertaining show...
Make a wish: ...
Well, how should I put it?
He always had the feeling that Captain America, on the surface, couldn't lift Thor's hammer, but in reality, he had mastered a whole set of combos...
However, Xu Yuan had no objection to Lao Xu's behavior, and it could be considered as finding a new way for Lao Xu to make a living after retiring from his criminal activities.
Seeing Xu Yuan walking towards him, Lao Xu quickly pointed the camera at Xu Yuan.
"Family! Look! The real wish is right here at home! Now you can prove that I'm the real wish-granting dad!"
In an instant, countless gifts flooded into the live stream!
Xu Yuan even saw several carnivals floating on the public screen.
He knew about this gift; it seemed to cost 3000 yuan!
Xu Yuan ignored the rapidly scrolling messages on the public screen and instead teased Lao Xu.
"Old Xu, who was it that said even livestreaming dogs wouldn't do it?"
His shortcomings were exposed in public.
Old Xu, however, was not angry or embarrassed at all; instead, his eyes lit up.
"Fine! If the dogs won't do it, I will! And I'll do it live!"
It's no wonder Old Xu acted this way.
He has gained over 10,000 followers in just one hour of his live stream!
The amount of gifts and tips alone has exceeded 20,000!
Xiaomeng has already saved enough for a year's tuition!
So what if I act like a clown on the internet?
In an instant, the live stream chat exploded again.
"A godlike figure!"
"No wonder I didn't raise a child who could get perfect scores like Xu Yuan!"
"I get it! My son's poor academic performance must be because I'm not good enough!"
"So this kind of father-son relationship is what cultivates geniuses..."
Gifts from the audience kept coming!
Make a wish: ...
As expected, the father of a scoundrel is the true holy body of the internet!
In any case, if it were him, he would never lower himself to such an extent just to create a TV show effect.
Just at that moment.
As soon as one round of PK ended, a new PK link request popped up in Lao Xu's live stream.
An account named "I Am the Protagonist" applied to join a live stream.
Old Xu was in a state of excitement and clicked "agree" directly.
Successfully connected via live stream!
The next moment, the face that appeared on the other end of the live stream account stunned everyone in the chat.
Xu Yuan, Lao Xu, and Xu Meng all stood there stunned.
The moment the camera feed from the other end became clear, the entire live stream seemed to be muted.
The smile on Xu Yuan's face froze.
Old Xu's hand, holding the phone, froze in mid-air.
Even Xu Meng stopped chewing, her small mouth slightly open.
On the other end of the screen appeared a face they knew all too well, but one that should never have appeared at this moment—Cheng Yong!
Cheng Yong, who was just listed on the national red notice this morning for "endangering national security," should have been fleeing in panic and hiding his whereabouts!
The shock was so great that viewers in the live stream couldn't immediately tell if the other person was joking or if Cheng Yong was really there.
Cheng Yong in the video seems to be enjoying the shock effect it creates. He is wearing an inappropriate suit, the background looks like a shabby office, and his face has a twisted smile that is a mixture of resentment, smugness and a bit of madness.
"Hahaha, wish, I love seeing that naive, country bumpkin look on your face. Aren't you surprised to see I'm still alive?"
As soon as Cheng Yong opened his mouth on the other side of the camera, Xu Yuan knew that this guy must be Cheng Yong himself!
That nauseating tone of voice can't be imitated!
"Cheng Yong?" Xu Yuan tried to keep her tone calm. "You're already on the wanted list, and you still dare to do a live stream?"
"Yes, that's right, I am indeed on the wanted list..." Cheng Yong's tone was somewhat cold, then he sneered, "Isn't this all thanks to you and Bei Wei? Where is Bei Wei? I'd like to see her surprised expression."
At this moment, the other viewers in the live broadcast room had already sensed that there was some juicy gossip to be had, and it was going to be a big one!
Many people forwarded it.
New audiences kept pouring in.
Instead, the video platform continued to promote Lao Xu's live stream because of its surge in popularity, and new viewers kept sharing it...
Left foot steps on right foot, and you're on your way to heaven!
In just two minutes, the number of viewers in Lao Xu's live stream room had exceeded 10!
It's even continuing to grow!
Most importantly, Lao Xu's live streaming account was only just registered!
This is unprecedented, not only on this platform, but in the entire history of online live streaming!
At this point, the comments on the public chat were refreshing rapidly, making them completely invisible to the naked eye.
Of course, Xu Yuan is an exception; his superhuman physical abilities allow him to easily see the comments on the public screen.
There were all sorts of opinions, and he finally witnessed the diversity of the human species, feeling a smoothness as if the wrinkles of his brain had been smoothed out.
"It's a script! It's definitely a script!"
"Not a buddy? Who uses a wanted poster as a script?!"
"If it's not scripted, then which wanted criminal have you ever done a live stream?"
"Hey? What you're saying actually makes a damn good point..."
Old Xu was a little confused...
Even with his extensive experience in the underworld, this was the first time he had faced such a situation.
"Bevy..." Xu Yuan pointed to the bedroom off-camera, "She's sleeping in the bedroom, probably because she's too tired."
Boom! The chat exploded with even more comments!
Compared to other things, these netizens are more interested in love, hate, and grudges.
As for Cheng Yong on the other side of the camera...
At that moment, my mind went blank with rage!
It's no exaggeration to say that, because of his father's indoctrination, he spent four years of university fantasizing about winning over Beiwei and then using the resources behind her...
Even when he called Xu Yuan and Bei Wei adulterers today, it was just a fit of anger. He still fantasizes that with his newly awakened superpowers, he can one day make a triumphant return and win back Bei Wei...
But hearing Xu Yuan say it himself was a huge blow to him!
"Good! Good! Good! You truly are a pair of adulterers!"
"I'm in America right now! I'll send you my address right away. I'd like to see what you can do to me!"
"The United States does not have an extradition treaty!"
As they were talking, Xu Yuan actually saw that Lao Xu had received a private message—location information from "I Am the Protagonist".
Cheng Yong's original intention was just to make a wish out of disgust, after all, there was a vast ocean between them.
But to his surprise, Xu Yuan's eyes lit up.
"good!"
"Cheng Yong, now you're finally a man!"
"You!" Cheng Yong was so choked by this sudden "praise" that he almost passed out.
This is completely different from the script he had envisioned!
Especially considering that Bevy might be in the bedroom next door... The words "You are now" and "You're finally acting like a man" pierced his heart like poison needles.
Seeing that he couldn't gain the upper hand in the verbal battle and was instead being led astray by the other party, Cheng Yong's face turned ashen.
He could only desperately try to save face, uttering a final, menacing remark to the camera.
"Hmph! Xu Yuan, stop with the empty talk! If you're a real man, come find me yourself! I'll be right here waiting for you! Let's see if you have the guts!"
The moment he finished speaking, the live stream was abruptly cut off, leaving only the astonished faces of everyone in Lao Xu's live stream room, and a sea of comments that had completely boiled over and caused the chat to lag...
