Chapter 35: Thousands of people +
"Hey, what exactly is going on with Dark Rain?"
"It actually failed?"
"The target even knows that I invited you."
"Are you trying to kill me?"
In the underground parking garage of the mall, Li Jie had lost all interest in patrolling the mall. He had a feeling that Gu Lingchen was trying to harm him.
He took out his phone and called the Dark Rain China branch.
After a few seconds of silence, the person on the other end of the phone replied, "The reason Erlang Xiao failed is because you lied about the target's strength."
"We've lost a top-notch Samsung killer."
"Your Excellency, the Black Gold Member, you bear full responsibility for this matter."
"To be able to kill Erlang Xiao, his strength must be at least that of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, or even higher."
You now only have two choices.
"First, offer more money, and we'll continue eliminating our targets."
"Secondly, we will no longer be involved in this matter, and the money will not be refunded."
"How much more do you want?" Li Jie asked cautiously.
"Killing him would require at least one of my Dark Rain's top five assassins."
"I believe you should know what kind of strength five-star assassins possess; they are all above the Innate Grandmaster level."
"Appearance fee starts at fifty million."
"Wh...what? Fifty million?"
"Are you asking for an exorbitant price?"
Li Jie was clearly somewhat angry.
He could come up with 50 million, but he would definitely need his father's permission to use that much money.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Jie replied, "Let me think about it for a few days."
"Alright, we'll give you three days to consider."
"If we need to hire a five-star assassin three days from now, the price will be different."
"Damn it, this dark rain is really dark."
"I'd even take fifty million."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jie was furious.
……
The next day, in the morning, it was drizzling, and the Jiangzhou Funeral Home was packed with people.
The city's Public Security Bureau Chief Zhao Changchun, along with Lu Qianqian, personally led a team to the scene to maintain order.
Jiangzhou's top officials arrived at the funeral home early in the morning.
The Su family, the Huang family, the Li family, and other families were also invited.
Hundreds of people stood in a square, in the center of which stood a dark coffin that seemed to hold a chilling presence.
Time ticked by, and the crowd standing in the rain felt incredibly tense.
Because in front of them stood hundreds of Dragon Shadow Guard members.
Among them was Ye Tian, the leader of the Dragon Shadow Guard, whom they had never seen before.
Who is Ye Tian?
He is at the pinnacle of martial prowess in China and a confidant of the Grand Elder.
Pillars of Chinese civilization.
They held the power of life and death.
"Chief, everyone is basically here."
"The old master told us to hold the memorial service as scheduled, and he would come to take away Zhang Tianshi's coffin shortly after it was over."
"Okay, let's begin."
Fire a gun, play music, remove your hat, and salute.
Deafening gunshots roared through the air, and a sense of sorrow spread among everyone present.
On the other side, Su Qianxue had already gone to school early in the morning.
Tang Xiaoxiao put on the new dress she had just bought yesterday and started her live stream.
Today, the comments section is filled with people asking what new script Tang Xiaoxiao has for today, instead of asking about Su Qianxue.
"Xiaoxiao, we don't like watching borderline content."
"Hurry up and let my idol out."
"What script is it today? We love to see it."
"We want to see our male god."
Seeing these comments, Tang Xiaoxiao was helpless: "When I'm serious, you guys say you like watching suggestive content, but then you say you like watching my best friend Qianxue's pure and cute style."
"Now I love reading amazing scripts."
"I really don't understand you."
"Xiaoxiao, we want to see that ancient costume male god over there."
"Haven't you noticed that there are more female viewers in your live stream today than usual?"
"Girls are more shy, they don't like to send comments."
"Come on, type 1 if you want to see male gods in period dramas."
Sure enough, the next second, the live stream was filled with 111111.
Gifts kept popping up everywhere.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it a try."
"I'm not feeling well today."
"Wait a moment."
Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiaoxiao cautiously walked to the outside of Gu Lingchen's room and pressed her ear against the door, trying to hear what Gu Lingchen was doing.
But after listening for a while, there was no sound at all.
"Gu Lingchen, can you help me?"
"My period started, I need to go to the bathroom."
Opening the door, Gu Lingchen asked casually, "Why do you need to go to the bathroom when you're on your period?"
Tang Xiaoxiao blushed, unsure how to explain.
"Gu Lingchen, anyway, my stomach hurts."
"Come on, come on, just sit here and chat with my viewers in the live stream, okay? Help me with the live stream for a bit, alright?"
"Uh, okay, let's just chat then."
"But I don't have much time, I have to go out later."
"Okay, ten minutes at most."
After saying that, Tang Xiaoxiao clutched her stomach and rushed to the toilet.
Gu Lingchen sat down in front of the camera, and his stunning face caused the live stream to erupt in excitement.
Wow, so handsome.
"Ahhhhhh"
"My God, how can there be such a handsome guy?"
"I think you look even more handsome without period costumes."
Seeing the comments, Gu Lingchen smiled slightly:
"Thank you. I think a person's appearance doesn't define them; cherishing the people around you is the most important thing."
"Wow, handsome guy, your voice is so nice too."
"Handsome, what's your name?"
"Gu Lingchen".
"Handsome, how old are you?"
"If you calculate it, it should be over four thousand years old."
"What? Over four thousand years old?"
"Host, how do you manage to brag so easily without even thinking?"
"That's right..."
"I have witnessed the glorious period when all nations of China paid tribute, and I have also witnessed the smoke and fire of battlefields where thousands of soldiers and horses lay dead."
"Living in a time of peace, you should cherish your current life."
"My God, isn't this utter nonsense?"
"But we love to hear it."
"I just entered the live stream, the streamer is so handsome."
"Is this a storytelling livestream?"
"Host, I want to have your baby..."
"I want to become your top fan. Which streamer do I need to support to have dinner with you?"
Ten minutes later, Gu Lingchen was also overwhelmed by the bizarre questions in the live chat.
Fortunately, Tang Xiaoxiao had already left the restroom by then.
"Let Xiaoxiao come out and chat with everyone."
"I have other things to attend to. Goodbye everyone."
After saying that, Gu Lingchen ignored the countless comments trying to persuade him to stay, stood up, took a step forward, and then instantly disappeared from the spot.
"Holy crap!"
Where are they?
Many new viewers were shocked.
"You're obviously new here. This is basic operation for a streamer."
"It's special effects."
Sitting back in front of the camera, Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned and at a loss when she saw the number of viewers in the live stream.
100,000+ views?
Upon inspection, the number of followers had increased by over a million.
Millions in ten minutes?
Oh My God.
Tang Xiaoxiao felt as if she had grasped the secret to internet traffic.
