Chapter 239 - 239: Could It Be That You Want Following Too?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The first call seemed to open up Li Yidao’s business address.
In the following hours, one person after another kept calling Li Yidao.
However, only five of them had officially made reservations.
The rest either wanted Brother Dao to lend a helping hand or hoped to make a reservation with him.
Moreover, there were even some people who genuinely wanted to have him host a funeral.
But these people weren’t the ones he followed!
This was just absurd!
If they weren’t the ones he followed, why would he organize a funeral for them?
The main issue was he couldn’t understand the thought process of these individuals.
Clearly, he had posted an advanced reservation in his live stream.
If you weren’t followed, what was the point of submitting such a request?
So, for the time being, Li Yidao chose to ignore these messages.
Given the current situation, this was the only reasonable response.
He couldn’t just go and organize a funeral for anyone who called him, could he?
That would be a joke!
It wasn’t until 11 PM that Li Yidao reluctantly turned off his phone and entered the realm of dreams.
There was no way around it.
He felt like his phone was turning into a hotline.
If this continued, he might genuinely exhaust himself!
A silent night passed.
During this night, he didn’t dream about anyone and slept soundly.
Early the next morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Li Yidao slowly opened his eyes.
He took out his phone and checked.
Hmm… 89 missed calls.
The most recent one was half an hour ago.
D*mn! Was this some kind of joke?
He was utterly speechless. These people were really trying to drive him insane!
He regretted hesitating yesterday and changing his phone from off to silent.
If he had turned it off, wouldn’t that have conveyed a clear message?
But this couldn’t go on!
Putting aside whether he could handle answering all these calls, the real issue was the impact on the people who genuinely needed to reach him. He took a deep breath.
Without getting out of bed, he opened his platform homepage.
“I might not have made it clear during the live stream; the free funeral services are only applicable to those who were followed by me.”
“If you were not followed by me, please refrain from calling unless you want me to follow you. In that case, I can follow you first, and you can then make a reservation for yourself.”
Perhaps his mind was a bit unclear right after waking up, so his words might seem a bit verbose and tinged with some frustration.
Well, in summary, his message was quite straightforward.
He would only provide free services for those who had been followed by him.
After sending this message, Li Yidao didn’t continue to follow anyone.
Instead, he got up to freshen up.
There were many things he needed to do today, after all.
Several funerals needed to be organized.
Additionally, his following should continue!
He needed to accumulate enough lifespan in the shortest possible time!
He sensed that those following the old man were probably preparing under the current circumstances!
If Li Yidao couldn’t quickly enhance his strength and faced a real crisis, would he really let the old man fight desperately?
That was impossible, right?
After all, the old man’s situation was indeed very bad right now.
He didn’t know if allowing the old man to stand up and fight again would mean never seeing him again in the future.
This was something he absolutely wouldn’t want and wouldn’t allow to happen.
Given the old man’s situation, under the current circumstances, many things were beyond his control.
With the release of Li Yidao’s message, the entire internet seemed to explode once again!
Countless people began frenziedly expressing their opinions!
After all, Brother Dao’s message was truly shocking!
“D*mn! Scared the heck out of me! I was actually thinking about calling Brother Dao to ask if I could reserve a funeral a hundred years later. Well, maybe not now.”
“You upstairs are really something! Thinking about what happens after death now? Shouldn’t it be your children worrying about what happens after you “That’s right! The guy upstairs is quite imaginative. I’ve been contemplating for a while and still haven’t called.”
“The main point is how much pain Brother Dao has endured. He’s actually forcing Brother Dao like this.”
“If I were Brother Dao, I wouldn’t bother with a heads-up! I’d just give them a follow directly!”
“Exactly! Just give them a follow! Who cares about what they’re saying?”
“These people are really creative! Such a fancy move. Haha! I can’t stop laughing. You say Brother Dao hasn’t followed you, and you want him to host your funeral for free?”
“Haha, Brother Dao said it! He won’t refuse to host your funeral, but you need to endure a follow from him.’
“Brother Dao’s follow is not something everyone can endure, you know.”
“I really don’t want to endure unnecessary pain. Brother Dao’s follow… really can’t be accepted.”
“Everyone be careful; Brother Dao is definitely lacking performance lately.”
“It seems true, lacking performance. Scared me to death.”
“By the way, do you think Brother Dao will make a move today?”
“Impossible, right? There were so many people yesterday, and today Brother Dao won’t even have time to host funerals.
“Hehe, do you really think Brother Dao will go and host funerals? Don’t be silly. Even if Brother Dao could arrange funerals for free, do you think anyone would dare to accept?”
“Why can’t they accept it? Brother Dao is not some terrifying monster. Haven’t you noticed that Brother Dao always acts with discretion whenever he makes a move?”
“Exactly! Don’t underestimate our Brother Dao! He’s a man of his word!”
“Alright, everyone, go check the death list… half of them are gone already. Two guys passed away directly in the hospital. Brother Dao is not joking this time!”
“Brother Dao doesn’t joke, and the Grim Reaper never jokes!”
“Getting numb, the whole situation is really getting numb…”
As for Li Yidao at this moment, he neither followed nor paid attention to various fan group interactions.
In fact, he couldn’t see any of it.
He wasn’t a member of any fan groups.
He had arrived at the morgue of Jiang City’s First People’s Hospital.
This was the first funeral he needed to arrange today.
Another person had already taken people to the funeral parlor.
The remaining two required Li Yidao to visit their homes.
Today was not the burial day for the latter two: they wanted Li Yidao to “console” their families in advance.
After all, these deaths were somewhat accidental.
While they weren’t entirely unexpected deaths, they still occurred unexpectedly.
In that case, it was normal for the families to seek some psychological comfort.
Therefore, Li Yidao didn’t choose to refuse.
However, everyone’s time was valuable, and it wasn’t possible to make extensive arrangements.
Everything depended on Li Yidao’s mood.
If he wanted to console them more, he would.
If not, he would go with the flow.
All of this was about providing emotional comfort.
Li Yidao knew that if there were truly vengeful spirits, a simple “consolation” might not solve the problem.
Without sufficient capability to subdue the vengeful spirits, it would be meaningless.
They wouldn’t just leave because you “consoled” them; after all, “consolation” was merely a formality.
After Li Yidao completed the follow-up tasks for the first, no, two cases, he didn’t go directly to the next location. Instead, he returned to his shop!
No hidden meanings.
Since he had completed the tasks, he naturally should claim the rewards, right? He wanted to take a look.
What changes would occur in the system after completing the follow-up tasks for high-density clients?
