Chapter 238: More Business
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With Li Yidao’s extensive follows, the entire internet went into a frenzy!
Even though Brother Dao had already ended the live stream, a new wave had emerged online—a surge in trending topics!
The trending list’s top twenty, no, only two were unrelated to Li Yidao. This was truly shocking!
Initially, Unit 36 attempted to do some damage control, but it was futile!
Totally futile!
The reason was that several of the streamers Li Yidao followed had met their demise even before he signed off!
This was terrifying!
Within Brother Dao’s various fan groups, everyone had gone utterly mad.
“D*mn! This is insane! Can’t hold it! Too intense!”
“Mmm… it hit me right in the stomach. So darn thrilling!”
“Sizzle sizzle! We’ve already turned Brother Dao’s latest follows into a ranking.
Ready to cross tnem out anytime!”
“Rumor has it, the streamers who were followed are all in the hospital, waiting there.”
“Too frightening! I swear! Fortunately, Brother Dao spared me as he passed by.”
“Can’t handle it, can’t handle it, it’s genuinely frightening! Oh my God!” “D*mn! Why hasn’t Brother Dao gone behind the bar yet? Too scary!” “Hey, upstairs, are you crazy? How dare you to say that…”
“Exactly! Who is Brother Dao? How could he possibly be locked up?”
“Mainly, what’s going on with Brother Dao? Why did he follow so many people directly?”
“I don’t know! I’m curious too. What is Brother Dao up to?”
“Something is really off. It feels like something big is about to happen!” “Whatever! We just need to take care of ourselves now! The rest doesn’t matter!”
“Right! The rest doesn’t matter! Love whoever you want! As long as Brother Dao doesn’t follow me, it’s all good!”
“Haha, don’t panic even if he follows. As long as you can grasp Brother Dao’s thigh, any demons or ghosts, Brother Dao can drive them away for you!” “Exactly! That’s the right thing to say! Brother Dao is the brightest among us!”
As for Li Yidao at this moment, he was leisurely lounging on a recliner.
Just now, he received several notifications of deaths resulting from his follows, contributing a few hundred years of lifespan.
The lifespan provided by these deceased individuals was indeed quite substantial.
However, why hadn’t anyone called him?
“I’m offering it for free, and still, no one’s considering it? Freebies and still no takers.”
For a moment, Li Yidao was speechless.
Just when he thought no one would call him today, suddenly, his phone rang.
An unfamiliar number?
A smile spread across Li Yidao’s lips!
Very good!
This was probably someone coming to find him.
Excellent.
Business was coming.
“Hello, sir. I’m a representative from XX Bank. We’re currently offering low-interest loan promotions. Do you have any financial needs or concerns recently? We…”
“Snap!” Li Yidao interrupted directly.
Financial concerns?
“What financial concerns? I don’t even know how to spend my own money right now. The main issue is, I don’t have the time to spend it. There are just too many things to deal with every day.”
As soon as Li Yidao hung up the call from the bank representative, his phone rang again.
Another unfamiliar number.
Li Yidao’s anticipation from before was gone. Who knew if this was just another one of those annoying spam calls?
For him, turning off the phone directly wasn’t an option.
In such a case, he naturally had no choice.
“Hello? Is this Brother Dao?” “Hello? Is this Brother Dao?”
Brother Dao!
Only his online fans would address him as Brother Dao.
That meant this person was probably looking for him.
“Brother Dao, I’m XXX, the streamer you just followed. Please give me a hand, Brother Dao! Brother Dao, give me some guidance! Brother Dao…”
Li Yidao was speechless.
What was going on?
But this guy seems to be quite skilled.
He knew to call him.
However, sorry to say, making a call to anyone wouldn’t save him, unless he could directly call the system and communicate with it.
The system probably wouldn’t pay attention either.
After hearing the other person’s words, Li Yidao politely replied, “Sorry, I just followed casually, don’t take it too seriously.”
After this brief explanation, Li Yidao promptly hung up the phone.
There was really nothing he could provide.
Under such circumstances, naturally, he had nothing to say.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yidao had the urge to turn off his phone.
But in the end, he gave up.
After all, someone would probably call him, right?
After all, wasn’t a free funeral nice?
Another ten minutes passed.
Li Yidao was already planning to go back to his room and lie down.
And just at that moment.
The phone rang again.
“Ding ring, Ding ring.”
The call was answered.
“Hello? Is this Mr. Li Yidao?”
The caller knew his real name?
One should know that even on the internet, all places that might reveal his real name were blocked.
After all, Brother Dao’s identity was truly different now. So, it was not possible to let everyone easily look it up.
“Hello, I am. May I ask who is calling?”
Li Yidao wasn’t sure if the other person was calling about a funeral.
So, he had to ask to find out.
Upon hearing confirmation from Li Yidao, the tone of the other person seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Brother Dao, hello, I’m XXX’s wife. He suddenly had a heart attack during the live stream today. He left a note before, saying… saying that if he had an accident, he should look for Brother Dao.’
“He said it was already agreed with you, that you would handle everything, and… and no need to spend money…”
“I, I don’t know if it really doesn’t cost money. If it does, can you tell me how much? I… I’ll try to figure out a way here. I…”
Hearing the other person say this, Li Yidao fell silent for a moment.
He could sense that the other person might feel uneasy about saying these things.
He could feel that sadness.
And it was quite obvious that they probably didn’t have money.
Not only that, he could also feel the strength in the midst of sadness.
For a moment, Li Yidao was somewhat infected by these emotions.
He calmly said, “Well, my condolences. Your husband is right. He has already made arrangements with me. I will take care of all the expenses and arrange all the procedures.”
“I will provide all the funeral supplies directly, so you can rest assured.”
“Alright, thank you, Brother Dao. My husband just lost his job recently and just started live streaming. But… he doesn’t have any talent, so he can only attract people by drinking, and then… and then… sob sob sob…”
Hearing the other person’s crying, Li Yidao remained silent.
Life, old age, sickness, and death were various facets of human existence.
Who knew which would come first, accidents or success.
How many people could regard life and death so indifferently?
