Chapter 158: Night Call, Something Happened.
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Seeing the constant flood of “99,900” in the live stream chat, Brother Dao, Li Yidao, resisted the urge to change the price.
“Thank you all for your support, but it’s just a candle. If it’s priced at 99,000,
I’m afraid some people might misuse it.”
“So, it’s still 999, no deception, giving everyone a fair choice.”
Saying this, Li Yidao didn’t give the fans a chance to react anymore and immediately shared the link for the candles.
999 each.
At this moment, some fans were still typing in the chat, while others were already prepared.
After Li Yidao shared the link, some instinctively refreshed the page.
Then…
They found it had frozen…
When they finally managed to refresh, the quantity was already at o…
Good heavens.
“F*ck! Are you still human? I didn’t even get in, and it’s already sold out?”
“Sob, my goddess told me that if I couldn’t get Brother Dao’s candle, she wouldn’t let me be her backup anymore. What should I do?”
“Ah, my five million! I’ve already found the lottery booth to buy the lottery ticket. I was just waiting for the candle, but now it’s gone, and my five million is gone.”
“D*mn it! I was at the payment screen, but it’s because I entered the wrong payment password! F*ck!”
“Hey, upstairs idiot, there’s something called ‘one-click payment!!”
“That’s right! I got it. Chirp, chirp. That’s great. When the time comes, I’m going to make a wish with my boyfriend.”
“Cough, cough. The guy upstairs, are you sure it’s your boyfriend you’re talking about? Did I mistake your gender?”
“Tsk, what era is this? The heterosexuality is old school!”
“Alright, stop chatting, I got ten candles in one go, chirp, chirp! Be jealous!”
“Cough, cough, anyone who wants but missed out can message me. We can talk details. Brother Dao’s style ritual candles—you won’t get ripped off!”
“Can your candles compare to Brother Dao’s candles? Who do you think you’re fooling?”
“That’s right! Brother Dao’s yellow paper can win five million when burned, so why can’t these candles bring in three million when lit?”
“Chirp, chirp, I can’t wait. I’m going to use the candle when watching porn! I won’t get caught, for sure!”
“Upstairs, you’re amazing! Are you just scared of getting caught?”
Seeing the rampant discussions in the live stream chat, Li Yidao was left speechless for a moment.
What on earth were they talking about?
It’s as if his candles were some kind of magical genie lamps?
Of course, the candles must have some effects since they cost him ten years of his lifespan.
As for how effective they are… to be honest, Li Yidao himself wasn’t entirely sure at this point.
Everything would have to wait for feedback from the fans.
“Well… for those who didn’t manage to get one today, don’t worry. I will continue to offer surprises to everyone from time to time in the future.”
“Today is getting late, so let’s leave it at that. Goodbye, everyone.”
After bidding farewell to the audience, Li Yidao chose to end the live stream.
As they looked at the now-black screen in the live stream room, all the netizens were once again left stunned for three seconds.
“F*ck! Brother Dao, what’s going on? Can’t you stay a bit longer?”
“The platform’s first-ever live stream product promotion, less than ten minutes from the start to sharing the link, and the streamer goes offline.”
“Most importantly, Brother Dao left the live stream room with tens of millions of fans! Do you think the platform’s operations team is crying?”
“If I were in charge of the platform, I would have begged Brother Dao to continue the live stream! Haha, do you know how much traffic Brother Dao generated in this single live stream?”
“I saw that the whole internet was promoting Brother Dao’s upcoming surprise today. The platform’s operations team must be crying. They spent a fortune on promotion, and the live stream only lasted for ten minutes.”
“By the way, does anyone want to sell the candles they just bought? I’ll pay 1 million! Don’t bother if it’s the same kind. Of course, you can try to deceive me, but the consequences are yours to bear!”
“1 million? God! Suddenly, I feel like crying. Why did I find a girlfriend?”
“Hey, the guy upstairs, what does finding a girlfriend have to do with this?” “If I don’t have a girlfriend, my speed won’t drop!”
“Don’t be ridiculous! There were not many single people who could snatch the candle.”
The time-sync comments in the live stream room gradually calmed down after Li Yidao left for about half an hour.
It’s evident that Li Yidao’s fan engagement was at an astonishing level!
After closing the live stream, Li Yidao didn’t immediately lie down.
Instead, he put on some clothes and walked out of the funeral shop.
Today was a special day.
He casually locked the shop’s door.
“Brother Dao? Are you going out so late?” Li Yidao had just locked the door when he heard Sister Zhou’s voice behind him.
Turning around, he saw Sister Zhou and Li Xinting standing outside the door.
It seemed like they were planning to go out too.
Li Yidao nodded. “Yeah, I was getting bored at night, so I thought I’d go out for a walk and grab some late-night snacks.”
“That’s great! We were planning to get some late-night snacks too. We were even thinking of asking if you wanted some! Let’s go together!” Li Xinting said happily.
But after saying it, she felt a bit regretful. Li Yidao had always intentionally kept some distance from them. This sudden invitation seemed a bit awkward, didn’t it?
To be honest, Li Yidao was taken aback by the invitation too. However, after a moment of contemplation, he smiled slightly and nodded.
There was no need to refuse, and he didn’t find it boring to spend time with them.
Seeing Li Yidao nod, the two of them seemed very pleased.
“In that case, let’s go for some crawfish! I know a place that serves amazing crawfish!”
“Yeah, let’s have crawfish! How about it, Brother Dao?” When Li Xinting suggested crawfish, Sister Zhou also wore a happy expression.
It’s clear that crawfish was indeed a standard choice for the evening.
Li Yidao nodded without refusal. In fact, he had intended to go out for crawfish.
Every year on this day, he would go out for a crawfish meal with Li Yinuo. It was one of Li Yinuo’s favorite foods, and it was a special day when they chose to eat it.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a small restaurant not far from their shop. When a large plate of crawfish was served, both women began to eat voraciously, paying no attention to their appearance.
It must be said that women, sometimes, were content as long as there was food.
Li Yidao, too, didn’t hold back. He also enjoyed crawfish.
“Ding ding, ding ding…”
Just when the three of them were almost done eating, Li Yidao’s phone suddenly rang. Who would call him at such a late hour?
Li Yidao took off his gloves in confusion and took out his phone to check. Seeing the caller ID, he was momentarily puzzled.
The old man?
Why would the old man call him at this late hour?
He answered the call. “I’m listening. What’s up?”
“Come over to my place. My friend has encountered some trouble, and I need you to go and check it out,” the old man’s voice sounded calm, but Li Yidao could sense the gravity beneath the calm exterior.
“Alright, I understand. I’ll come over right now.”
There was no need for hesitation. Even if it was late at night, Li Yidao would go without a second thought. In this world, aside from Li Yinuo, the only person he cared about without reservation was this old man.
So… his affairs were Li Yidao’s affairs.
However…
He had previously agreed to find a suitable time to help the old man’s friend. But now…
To ask him to come over at this late hour, could it be that something serious had happened?
