NOVEL NEXT Chapter 14
A Million Fans?
“Oh? Li Yidao, your fans are about to surpass one million?”
Li Yinuo appeared behind Li Yidao like a ghost at some point.
“Hey, is this one million fans worth money?”
As Li Yinuo looked at Li Yidao with her large eyes, his brain quickly spun.
Was it valuable?
An account with one million fans must be valuable!
It was just.
Should he change his career?
He couldn’t really start live-streaming and selling things, could he?
“I heard that when some bloggers have many fans, they start contacting female fans.”
“Have you contacted any?”
“Hmm?” While Li Yidao was thinking about how to sell it for money, he was interrupted by Li Yinuo’s boundless train of thought.
Weren’t they talking about making money?
Why brought up female fans out of nowhere?
“Was I that kind of person?” He asked himself.
“Having in-depth conversations with female fans, was that something I could do?”
That would require money, so it was better to earn money first, right?
“What are you thinking about all day? Can’t you be normal like other people?” Li Yidao’s tone was full of righteousness!
However, Li Yinuo rolled her eyes at him.
“599 yuan for a bath. I saw your receipts.”
Li Yidao was speechless.
“I see you won’t let go of that matter, huh? I told you that I drank too much, so I found a place to rest for the night.”
But he was helpless when faced with Li Yinuo’s expression that seemed to say “Do you really expect me to believe you?”
But nothing really happened!
He regretted it when he thought about it.
That day, he did have a few drinks and mustered up the courage to experience what the 599 bathhouse was like. He wondered why so many people flocked to it.
Was it because the bathing water was good?
And then he went.
Oh, so it could be like this!
He had to admit that the massage techniques there were really good!
But he fell asleep!
He really fell asleep, and when it was time, she moved on to the next customer.
Where was Li Yidao? He slept all the way until dawn the next day!
He even had to pay an extra ten yuan for the bed, and he had to say, his first experience with 599 ended like that. It was so frustrating!
“Alright, I can’t be bothered with you. There’s no money in the household accounts anyway, so you figure it out.”
“Oh, by the way, if you’re planning to meet your female fans, don’t bring them home. Be careful I come at you with a knife in the middle of the night.”
After saying that, the little girl went upstairs without looking back.
It left Li Yidao feeling a bit powerless!
Just the thought of the little girl coming at him with a knife in the middle of the night sent shivers down his spine!
“Sigh. It’s difficult to deal with women and girls…”
“Let’s put aside the live stream and product promotion for now. I’ll go and see if I can find the contact information of the Little Bunny’s family. This deal… I hope I can get it.”
“I’m really looking forward to the rewards the system will give after completing the upcoming tasks…”
…
On a sunny morning, a ray of sunlight seeped into the room through the window’s cracks.
Li Yidao slowly opened his eyes amidst the rhythmic sounds of chopping and pounding downstairs.
Instinctively, he picked up his phone and checked the platform backstage.
Wow! It turned out his fans had already surpassed a million!
1.03 million! That was Li Yidao’s current number of fans.
The growth rate had also slowed down.
After all, internet users had short attention spans, and after the hype died down, not as many people continued to follow the topic.
“Ding! All three high-quality customers that the host has been following have passed away! However, since the host did not take up the corresponding business, the rewards have entered the cumulative pool and will not be distributed.”
“Please complete a subsequent task as soon as possible to activate the system’s functions and initiate reward distribution.”
“Note: If the host fails to complete a subsequent task on time, the accumulated rewards will expire and be automatically cleared.”
“Hmm?”
Li Yidao immediately sat up on the bed.
“F*ck!”
“The accumulated rewards would be canceled?”
Subsequent tasks basically referred to funeral services.
Originally, that was the main business of their funeral shop.
But now, there were too many “professionals” like Yin Yang masters.
Most of this business had been taken by those so-called “experts.”
Moreover, considering Li Yidao’s age, it was even more difficult to convince people.
So now their funeral shop could only barely sustain itself by selling joss paper and gold ingots.
The biggest order was probably the full set of paper decorations, but there weren’t many wealthy people who buy them.
“No, I need to contact the Little Bunny’s family today! Even if it’s for free or even if I have to invest money, I must take this business!”
Li Yidao clenched his teeth. He had to grab this deal.
Even if it was for free, he would still do it!
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw a local Jiang City number, but it was an unfamiliar one.
Frowning, he chose to answer.
“Hello, is this Brother Yidao Funeral Shop?”
“Yes, I am Li Yidao.”
“Then… Um, I’m Sun Jing’s mother. Can you take care of my daughter’s funeral?”
“Your daughter? Have you been to our funeral shop before? How did your daughter pass away? I don’t remember anyone making an appointment with me.” Li Yidao was a little puzzled. Someone actually took the initiative to ask him for business?
He was indeed very familiar with the funeral industry, but it had been a long time since anyone had asked him for service.
“Well, I didn’t make an appointment, so I don’t need the 50% discount. My daughter was a live streamer, and her screen name is ‘Your Little Bunny.’ They… they said I should find you for the funeral…”
“Your Little Bunny? Is that your daughter?”
“Yes, she is. Can you handle this service, even if I have to pay the full price? She’s already gone, and I want to give her a grand farewell.”
Li Yidao was dumbfounded!
He had been thinking about actively pursuing this business, but who would have thought that the business would come to him directly?
However…
Why did he feel no joy in his heart?
After all…This was a life.
Sigh.
…
“I will take on this business. Don’t worry about the price. It will be at a 50% discount, but the quality will not be compromised.”
“May I ask when you plan to begin the burial for Little Bunny… Sun Jing?”
He knew that this was a criminal case, and they were definitely doing an autopsy.
Under such circumstances, it would take a certain amount of time.
“Well, the police investigation has concluded, so everything on that end is ready. We can bury her anytime now, which is why I contacted you.”
“Oh, I see. Please give me the address, and I’ll come over right away. We can discuss the details when we meet.”
“Since Sun Jing’s death is somewhat special… we’ll try to make her departure as peaceful as possible. What do you think?”
“Thank you so much. My address is XXX. When you arrive, just contact me at this number.”
“Okay. I’ll call you when I arrive.”
He hung up the phone.
Li Yidao quickly got up and freshened up.
The business had arrived, and it was a big one!
Judging from the way she talked, she definitely wanted a grand ceremony.
It seemed that the family was not lacking in money.
However…
If they had money, why would the Little Bunny choose this profession?
Being a live streamer was not bad.
It was actually quite good to be a normal live streamer, but it seemed that the Little Bunny had other intentions.
If the family’s conditions were good, why would she do this?
Li Yidao couldn’t figure it out for a while…
Everything would have to wait until he met with the parents to find out…
