Hmm… The system finally conducted the second-stage settlement.
Li Yidao always felt that the system’s settlement notifications were a bit delayed.
It was like waiting for lottery results with a slight delay.
As for the reason, well, he dared not ask or say…
Looking at the advanced rewards provided by the system, Li Yidao’s expression became somewhat solemn.
This time, the system’s cumulative pool reward was still the usual life extension.
And the advanced rewards were two skills!
“Location Detection” and “Soul Attachment”
[Location Detection: Mastering the art of Feng Shui and understanding Yin and Yang. Mastering the skills of Tai Chi, the dual forces, the three energies, the four killers, the five gatherings, the six dispersals, the seven breaks, the eight fixations, and the nine returns. The “Location Detection” skill can be used without restrictions, but to access specific locations, the corresponding life span must be sacrificed.]
[Soul Attachment: Souls have spirits, and objects have spirits too. The host can use the Soul Attachment skill to attach souls to funeral items. Soul Attachment requires the consumption of the host’s lifespan, and the host can choose the specific amount of lifespan to sacrifice. The effects of Soul Attachment on the items will vary depending on the amount of lifespan consumed.]
He could understand the first skill, as it was his expertise.
But the second one, Soul Attachment, made him ponder. Could it be a way to develop a new business for himself?
Sitting on his recliner, Li Yidao looked at the two new skills he acquired, curiosity welling up in his heart.
He glanced around his surroundings.
The funeral items in the shop were almost sold out.
He hadn’t restocked in the last couple of days.
There were only a few ingots and yellow paper left in the corner, along with some flower wreaths and paper-made items.
He considered experimenting with the yellow paper, but decided against it.
They were already quite special and had many taboos associated with them.
If he really went too far, that would be disastrous
Moreover, sending these items by mail would be troublesome!
Finally, Li Yidao looked at the approximately one hundred bundles of yellow paper.
They were not very large, containing around a hundred sheets each, making them convenient for customers to take away.
These remaining stocks were part of a bulk purchase and had not been unpacked yet.
Having used Heaven’s Hand before, Li Yidao knew exactly how to use the skill. He visualized how to perform the Soul Attachment on the yellow paper.
Then, there was a notification.
Li Yidao had to pay the corresponding lifespan.
He pondered for a moment and decided to do a test for the first time. He originally thought of paying for one year, but he felt that one year might not have much effect!
So, he directly paid for ten years of his lifespan.
During the previous system settlement, Li Yidao gained an additional one hundred and twenty-eight years of lifespan.
The reason for the relatively small gain was that some streamers like Brother Feng, Blade Wolf, I Just Play, and Little Blue Moon, when combined, had less than one year of lifespan left!
This indicated that they didn’t expect to live much longer, and they had done some misdeeds.
Their time was up!
With the use of the Soul Attachment skill, he felt a sense of palpitations throughout his body, just like when he had sacrificed his lifespan to save Zhang Chaoyang before.
However, this time the feeling was not as intense.
As the Soul Attachment ended, Li Yidao could clearly feel that the one hundred bundles of yellow paper in front of him had changed in some way.
It wasn’t that their appearance was different.
It was Li Yidao’s own feeling that these yellow papers seemed to have gained a sense of spirituality.
The specific effects were still not very clear before using them.
But he knew that these yellow papers he had attached with Soul Attachment were definitely not ordinary.
“When someone comes to buy, I’ll see the effects when they use them.”
Li Yidao muttered to himself as he sat back on his recliner.
At that moment, he suddenly sat up again!
“Yes! Sell them! Instead of selling to regular customers, why not sell them to my live stream fans?”
“This can be considered welfare for mv fans, rizht?” Li Yidao thought to himself.
He was right. Such yellow papers were not something easily obtainable.
With this in mind, he no longer hesitated.
He directly started the live stream.
As Li Yidao opened the live stream, even though it was noon, the number of viewers instantly skyrocketed!
In less than ten seconds, there were tens of thousands of viewers!
Within a minute, the number reached a terrifying fifty thousand!
Keep in mind that it was noon, and many people were on their lunch breaks.
Those who could rush to the live stream room at the first moment were undoubtedly hardcore fans!
As the number of fans increased, the live stream’s chat was filled with a constant flow of time-sync comments.
“I can’t believe it! Brother Dao is live streaming again, hurry!”
“Brother Dao, Brother Dao! You took down six people last night in one go.
Aren’t you satisfied yet?”
“Brother Dao, spare me, please don’t raid my video, I’m scared!”
“Brother Dao, I have a few evildoers’ IDs, I’ll message them to you! You can talk to them!”
“Yes, I have some too. How many are you planning to take down today, Brother
Dao?”
“Hey… Are you guys sure the streamers you’re recommending are evil ones? No personal grudges involved?”
“Huh, you guys really think Brother Dao is a fool? You think he’ll just go after any streamer you mention?”
“Exactly, a bunch of losers trying to use Brother Dao for their benefit? What a joke!”
Watching the chaos in the live stream room, Li Yidao couldn’t be bothered to deal with it.
He had no intention of following the fans’ suggestions.
Instead, he chuckled and said, “Today, we won’t kill… I mean, we won’t raid videos.”
Li Yidao was speechless himself. He unconsciously used the fans’ words. “Haha, I surrender! Brother Dao is so adorable.’
“Brother Dao was saying that ‘Well, we won’t kill anyone, and we won’t raid videos. We’ll just give a following!”
“Brother Dao, don’t hold back, you can do it! We want to see you take down ten streamers in one go!”
Seeing the live stream go crazy again due to his slip of the tongue, Li Yidao couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“Alright, everyone, listen to me.”
“Let’s stop with the killer talk. I’ve already been questioned by authorities once, and I don’t think anyone wants to see me shedding tears behind bars one day, right?”
“Today, I plan to give you all a little treat.”
“I see other streamers buying things, so why not sell something to you guys
As Li Yidao unexpectedly changed the topic in front of the camera, the viewers were confused.
“Live stream with promotion?”
“Uh, what’s happening…”
“Brother Dao, it turns out you can’t escape the world’s ways either. Paid advertisement is the end of a streamer, and that statement is spot on.”
“Um, can I ask quietly, Brother Dao, did you accept some business deal? What are you planning to sell?”
In fact, the reason why they were all so confused was not the paid advertisement itself.
It was normal for the popular streamer to do paid advertisements.
But Li Yidao was an owner of a funeral shop. What could he sell?
Was he planning to sell coffins or maybe paper objects during the live stream?
Those things were creepy to even look at!
Or perhaps it was Hell Money and flower wreaths?
Those things were usually not needed!
And even if someone did need them, would they really wait until the live stream to buy and have them shipped?
Nobody in their right mind would stock up on these items, right?
Those who bought these things might be scolded by their family.
In fact, as Li Yidao observed the reactions in the live stream room, he felt a sense of wonder.
A funeral director was doing a promotion during a live stream now. He might be the first to do something like this, right?
But his fans were actually pretty good.
He knew that the yellow paper he had attached souls to was definitely not ordinary.
If that was the case, he might as well treat it as a special treat for his fans.
Who could snatch up this treat would depend on luck.
Li Yidao didn’t intend to waste any more time with his fans.
After selling the items, he would take a good rest. After all, he had been staying up all day and night yesterday, and he was indeed a bit tired.
He smiled at the camera and said, “You all know my profession. Actually, funeral supplies come in various types.”
“And they are not as terrifying as you think. Just think about it, these items are usually offered to our ancestors. Would they harm you?”
“Today, I plan to do a promotion for ritual yellow paper, which is the most commonly used item.”
“There are only a hundred sets available, so if you need them now, it’s best to grab them. Even if you don’t need them immediately, you can stock up.”
“I guarantee that you’ll get your money’s worth!”
F*ck!
Was this even something a person would say?
He was telling the fans to stock up even if they didn’t need them now.
This guy was a real expert at promoting his products!
