The skies were blue, and the clouds milky white. There were green mountains, clear blue water with a light breeze, and the setting sun in the background.
Ning Fei was lying on the grass as he watched the clouds float by. He was feeling relaxed and content.
His master had left three days ago, but before he did, he left Ning Fei a letter. His master stated that he wanted to roam and explore the world. From today onward, Ning Fei would become the master of Light Breeze Temple.
“What nonsense is he talking? Roaming the world? He is obviously just shirking his responsibilities.” Ning Fei swore and cursed after he read the letter.
Light Breeze Temple had only two priests, so being the master was of no significance at all.
His master decreed that he was the deputy master of the temple.
Light Breeze Temple was located amongst mountains, and the mountains covered a huge stretch of land. One could hardly see the end of the land, and there were many families scattered around.
Ning Fei grew up at the temple, and he led a disciplined lifestyle.
He woke up at 6:00 a.m. every morning, and he would begin his day by reading and reciting scriptures and classics. Then he would do all sorts of chores or practice martial arts. At night, he would do more revision, and the cycle repeated itself every day.
However, his master was rather insistent about his cultural upbringing.
When Ning Fei reached a suitable age, he attended lessons at a school for the poor. He always wore a priest’s robes, so everyone gave him an affectionate nickname — Little Priest.
He was clever, and his results were excellent. Several students from different universities who taught at the school often praised him.
Furthermore, Ning Fei had always been good-looking and delicate. A few female teachers offered to bring him to an urban city to make a living there.
Of course, he had declined.
His master had told him that he was the 38th master of Light Breeze Temple and the only one left in his generation. If he were to leave, what would happen to Light Breeze Temple?
Ning Fei’s eyes swiveled around the shabby courtyard as he took in the sight of the peeling paint and cracks in the walls… and a sense of heavy responsibility took over him at that point in time.
He went to high school and then proceeded to senior high school…
With his intelligence and outstanding grades, he managed to enroll in a major university in the capital city. He considered himself to have enjoyed a pretty good life.
And now, his master had summoned him back after he had graduated from university. He was to become the master of Light Breeze Temple.
“Hmmm, life is pretty good, but something seems to be missing,” Ning Fei mumbled to himself.
He rather enjoyed and preferred a relaxed and laid-back lifestyle.
The mountains were blooming with life, and the rivers were clean. He would be able to survive here. The mountain was far away from the city’s noise, and there would be no cold steel structures confining and stifling him.
But he still felt that something was missing… Was it pleasure or joy?
‘Ding!’
“The state of the host’s body is normal. Would you like to activate the Outdoor Livestream System?” A voice rang inside of Ning Fei’s head at this time.
System?
A flash of astonishment struck Ning Fei.
Such a thing really existed?
He had read plenty of books, and he knew what a system was.
“Begin!” Ning Fei naturally chose to begin.
“Ding! The Outdoor Livestream System has begun. Now scanning host for information…”
“Extracting information…”
“The name of the host is Ning Fei.”
“Strength is 13.” An ordinary person’s level of strength was 10.
“Agility is 13.” An ordinary person’s level of agility was 10.
“Endurance is 12.” An ordinary person’s level of endurance was 10.
“Current popularity is zero.”
His strength, agility, and endurance were stronger than a normal person’s, and it was due to him practicing martial arts since he was a child.
As for his popularity and skills… This information was somewhat illuminating and glaringly obvious.
This was interesting…
“Ding! Would the host like to use the reward for beginners?” The System’s voice echoed again.
A beginner’s reward?
It had indeed appeared!
The system should have gift packages for beginners like what the novels had promised.
“Use it!” Ning Fei replied calmly.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the gifts, which consists of a set of webcasting equipment, a phone, a smart drone that can be charged using solar energy, a tripod for the phone, and a remote control.”
The system’s voice rang again.
A second later, all the equipment landed at Ning Fei’s feet.
The phone was the latest model and cost around 13,000 yuan1. It was so much better than his current phone that had cost 1,000 yuan2. He had had no choice as he was really penniless…
The drone was entirely black and had four propellers. The drone felt heavy as Ning Fei held it in his hand. It seemed very sturdy and stable.
It was another expensive item.
There was even a video camera mounted under the drone. Ning Fei had no great knowledge of cameras, but he hazarded a guess that it was an expensive one.
“System, other than these, what else do you have? What can I get from doing a webcast?” Ning Fei asked again.
“To answer the host’s question, you can gain popularity points through webcasts, and then you can enter a lucky draw with them. The lucky draws are categorized into Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Divine. They require 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, and 1 million popularity points respectively. You can receive skills and equipment from the lucky draws,” the System answered.
“As expected, there are lucky draws,” Ning Fei muttered to himself. That was the purpose of a system.
Ning Fei clicked on the screen of his phone and realized that there was a downloaded app named Battling Birds Webcast Platform. He even had an account already registered to him.
His account was 999,999.
There were six nines!
A flash of astonishment and wonder struck Ning Fei. The number nine was the biggest ultimate number in the universe!
Incredibly, the System had given him such a “powerful” account? And Battling Birds Webcast Platform had even agreed to it? Of course, this had nothing to do with him. Since he already had both the app and the platform, all he had to do was to start the webcast.
He began to fiddle with the drone and its buttons. He also used the remote control to operate the drone, and it began to rise shakily into the air.
The drone had a function where it would follow the user automatically. Ning Fei decided to select that option as it would save him the hassle of operating it manually.
After he propped up the phone on the tripod, he tidied up the area behind him a little.
After a few more tries, he realized that he could change viewpoints. He could choose to either display the captured images from his phone or from the drone seamlessly.
In doing so, he could show either a close-up of himself or the entire view of his background. This method of webcasting was advanced and clever.
Ning Fei inhaled deeply.
Everything was ready, except for the webcast!
At the thought of this, he extended his finger and pressed the button.
