40: Chapter 40 999+ 40: Chapter 40 999+ As the paragon of go-with-the-flow live-streaming, You Ying was an oddity on the streaming platform; their scripted videos were all sorts of cool, with exceptional personal qualities to boot, truly one of those top-tier live-streamers who not only had the looks but also the talent.
Just right, today’s routine revelations had yet to hit a snag, and the sycophant quickly decided to place today’s gossip spotlight on You Ying and this mysterious outdoor livestream.
Normally, wording a story required all sorts of caution, using words like ‘allegedly’ and ‘possibly.’ But today’s story didn’t even need those.
With a simple edit of the video content, the sycophant achieved the desired effect.
You Ying caught in the fresh face handsome guy’s outdoor livestream, relentlessly sending love-package gifts, what’s the deal?
A headline that was both factually descriptive and left room for imagination was quickly conceived.
After one last check to ensure nothing was overlooked, the sycophant uploaded the content online with practiced ease.
The broadcaster was already quite popular, and adding content with a controversial topic, the video instantly blew up; within one hour, views surpassed 100k+, with comments and likes coming in massively!
It quickly topped the official homepage as the most prominent hot story.
The audience, whose passion for gossip was equally inflamed, were all shook after watching the video.
Damn, who the hell is this Yue Feng, and is everyone’s goddess getting stolen away?
The whole platform was in an uproar over what was initially an inconsequential incident, but as one of the people involved, Yue Feng, having finished his three-hour livestream, was at this moment still squatting by the river fishing, completely unaware of what had transpired.
Today’s catch was good—aside from securing his livestream duration by clutching the fish, Yue Feng also caught more than 30 pounds of carp.
However, fishing nearby every day, coupled with the passing of the springtime spawning season as the carp moved towards deeper waters, the bigger carps were gradually becoming scarce.
After packing up, Yue Feng picked through the Fish Guard, only taking home about less than 20 pounds of the larger carps and releasing the rest back into the river.
After delivering the fish to the old master’s restaurant, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle back to his shop.
He hadn’t yet uploaded today’s livestream highlights; it was a good time to upload them for review.
Just as he opened the Seafood Live app’s personal homepage, Yue Feng was stunned.
Damn, messages 999+, friend requests 999+, follower increase 999+, everywhere that could show other’s footprints were all uniformly these striking red 999+.
Was the app bugging out?
Yue Feng closed the app and opened it again, with the same result.
After a quick glance, Yue Feng realized it wasn’t a bug in the app, but rather he had gone viral!
Indeed, Yue Feng had gone viral—his follower count had soared to 4000+, and it was still rising unstoppably, the figure fluctuating every moment.
Gaining followers was Yue Feng’s aim, without a doubt, whether for system privilege elevation or revenue, his follower count needed to rise.
However, gaining followers in such a way put Yue Feng in a bit of a bind.
How to put it—these new followers weren’t precisely the core audience of his current live content; many had followed due to their craving for gossip.
Everyone was guessing the relationship between the two, but deep down, Yue Feng knew there wasn’t any at all.
Once the misunderstanding gets cleared up, Yue Feng knew he’d be mercilessly knocked back to reality, and he might even become the butt of others’ jokes.
Use a Good Person Card on You Ying and make friends?
Yue Feng’s heart stirred, and the Good Person Card in his consciousness was selected, revealing its card information again.
He only needed to will it, and the effect would be immediate.
After thinking for a while, Yue Feng shook his head and eventually gave up the tempting idea.
Although a Good Person Card could rapidly improve the relationship between two people, Yue Feng, a bit chauvinistic, narrowly believed that pursuing a girl should be based on ability and strength, not a card with special effects.
The girl had supported him and spent quite a bit of money on gifts for him.
If he were to use the card secretly to curry favor and earn personal gains for his own desires, others might think nothing of it, but Yue Feng considered it not entirely honorable—in unpleasant terms, somewhat despicable.
You successfully resisted the temptation to take a shortcut, Lottery Points +2000!
Seeing that the host’s character is steadfast, the Good Person Card has automatically advanced, unlocking Character Traits “Humanity’s Radiance”.
“Humanity’s Radiance”: When faced with temptation, we can make a variety of choices.
Choosing kindness might not always be the best option, but it will definitely not be at a loss!
Passive Effect: Charm Value +30, Impression with strangers +50, Appearance score +5
Hearing the system notification, Yue Feng was slightly taken aback, and with a thought, pulled up his virtual Attribute panel to take a look.
Under the Skill section of his character, there was a new Character Trait “Humanity’s Radiance”, which had an extravagant effect, enhancing Charm Value, impression scores, and even appearance.
In terms of image, it was as if the consumption-type Good Person Card that could only be used once on a target had become one of Yue Feng’s Passive Skills, definitely counted as a significant gain.
Compared to this Character Trait, the two thousand Points given seemed rather trivial.
Having understood the unexpected gain, Yue Feng gained a deeper understanding of the system.
The system seems impartial, rigid, and often does not interfere with Yue Feng’s actions, but from this reward, it seems the system still encourages Yue Feng to be an upright and decent person.
Being affirmed by someone else feels great, even if it is an emotionless system.
After feeling happy for a while, Yue Feng started to ponder what to do next?
Ride the wave of popularity?
Inexperienced with this, Yue Feng thought it over but couldn’t make up his mind.
He had agreed to join You Ying’s live stream today, so if nothing else, he could just reciprocate by gifting her during her broadcast.
As for their relationship afterward, let’s just play it by ear and see how far it can go.
Having realized this, Yue Feng’s thoughts cleared up quite a lot, and he immediately called up the video editor and found the clip, which he habitually previewed before uploading.
Today’s clip was still excellently edited.
The content mainly consisted of the exciting bobber movements and enticing bites highlight reel from earlier on, interspersed with useful information about reading the basic fish activity in the pond, which Yue Feng had casually mentioned during the live stream.
Overall, it gave off the vibe of not only being enjoyable to watch but also imparting some fishing techniques.
After reviewing the clip in general, Yue Feng exhaled and proceeded to upload it for review!
A few seconds later, the second “exciting bites highlight reel” passed the review and appeared in Yue Feng’s list of clips.
Seeing that one of the subjects of the gossip, Yue Feng, had uploaded a new clip, the spectators immediately buzzed with excitement.
Various comments in the comment section, loads of likes, and numerous private messages demanding why he wasn’t responding—an avalanche of messages quickly propelled Yue Feng’s new clip to regional popularity.
