Chapter 180 - 180: The Event Begins, Big Honeybee Is Here!
When Li Yidao returned to the funeral shop with a somber expression, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Brother Dao, where’s Qingyue?”
Before, when Li Yidao received the phone call from the old man and took Yang Qingyue to the old man’s place, he naturally informed Sister Zhou and the others about it.
After all, Yang Qingyue had come with Sister Zhou.
He had to say something about taking her away.
However, what Li Yidao didn’t anticipate was that Sister Zhou had decided to stay at the old man’s villa.
According to the old man’s explanation, Yang Qingyue had now taken a crooked path, and he didn’t know the details of what that meant.
In any case, the old man had asked Yang Qingyue to stay with him.
Li Yidao replied, “Oh, she’s temporarily staying with an elder. She’ll return once her situation is resolved.”
After saying this, Li Yidao went back to the funeral shop without offering further explanations.
They could communicate among themselves.
With the current level of communication, one phone call would provide all the information they needed, making it unnecessary for Li Yidao to explain further.
Seeing Li Yidao walking into the funeral shop, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting exchanged glances and then pulled out their phones to communicate in their group chat.
As Li Yidao entered the shop, he took out the bronze mirror given to him by the old man from his pocket.
The front of the bronze mirror appeared mostly unchanged in appearance, but the back now had a few runic-like engravings.
As for the significance of these engravings, Li Yidao didn’t understand them, and they didn’t seem to be of particular importance.
The old man informed him that the issue with the bronze mirror was not entirely resolved, but it was now problem-free for his current use.
However, he made it clear that it might not be the case in the future.
As for the specific function of the bronze mirror, it was rather straightforward.
It was similar to the situation he encountered at the temple: it had the power to freeze people in place.
Under the guidance of the old man, Li Yidao learned how to use the mirror.
Thinking back to what had happened earlier, he felt a slight headache.
It seemed as though there was a special, subtle connection between his mind and the mirror.
With the mirror, as long as Li Yidao wished, he could immobilize people it reflected, according to his intentions.
It all seemed quite mystical, but Li Yidao had become accustomed to these supernatural occurrences.
After all, he had faced more than a few unusual situations.
Back in his room, Li Yidao slowly succumbed to fatigue and drifted into a deep slumber.
The next two days passed quietly.
The cafeteria had reopened, which relieved Li Yidao of the worry of where to have his meals.
However, he no longer took his food back to his room.
Instead, he sat in the cafeteria to eat.
After all, having two beautiful women accompanying him was a pleasant change.
As for Yang Qingyue, she still hadn’t returned.
Li Yidao guessed that it might take some more time.
The two sisters, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting, didn’t press him with questions, indicating that they had likely communicated with Yang Qingyue.
On the third day, the platform began its activities. Many streamers, big and small, were all geared up for the event.
This was an excellent opportunity to gain more followers.
Not everyone had Li Yidao’s carefree attitude when it came to their fanbase.
According to some so-called guilds, if they could manage Li Yidao’s account, they would be rolling in money.
But for now, no guild had dared to approach Li Yidao for such a deal.
They knew it was too risky to play tricks with Brother Dao.
In short, nobody had the guts to mess with him.
Playing games with Brother Dao? That’s just a joke!
At the platform’s operations department, Xiaowen sat nervously in front of the control panel.
She was the host for this event.
As the countdown reached the last three minutes before the event started, Xiaowen did her best to calm herself.
It was her job to control the connections between daily celebrities and their viewers.
Originally, the plan was to connect with well-known streamers to maximize profits.
However, they changed their strategy because connecting with only famous streamers could make the event seem scripted.
In such a situation, they changed the selection process, picking random participants, including many newcomers.
If they could discover some talented newcomers, it would be the best outcome.
Xiaowen played a crucial role here, determining how interactions would take place.
However, whether these newcomers would agree to interact was primarily a matter of luck.
Participants were grouped by specific regions or time slots, and their interactions would be random.
Some famous streamers, like Li Yidao, Sister Zhou, and Li Xinting, had their individual lists.
For them, Xiaowen had to request their agreement before initiating interactions.
As for streamers like Brother Dao, things were different.
They had to confirm with Brother Dao first before sending any interaction requests.
That was how it worked when dealing with someone as prominent as Brother Dao.
As the time arrived, Xiaowen appeared with a welcoming smile on the official platform’s livestream.
“Hello, everyone! I am Xiaowen, the host of this event.”
“I’m sure you’ve been eagerly anticipating this event for a while now, so without further ado, let’s welcome our star of the day, our Big Honeybee!”
With Xiaowen’s announcement, the video feed of Big Honeybee appeared on her screen, and the person on the other side responded with a slight smile.
“Hello, everyone! I’m delighted to be on the platform for this event, and I’m really looking forward to interacting with the platform’s streamers. I hope my fans who love me will support me.”
As Big Honeybee spoke, she had a smile on her lips.
With her appearance, her exclusive livestream room quickly exploded in popularity.
This was Big Honeybee’s first livestream on the platform, and her fans were eager to support her.
The platform wouldn’t disclose the actual online viewer count for livestreams.
On the first day of the event, featuring the top star Big Honeybee as the opening act, if the fan count didn’t surpass millions, wouldn’t it be embarrassing?
So as soon as the livestream started, her viewers had already exceeded ten million!
“My wife is here! Haha, I love you, my wife!”
“Get lost, you upstairs! Big Honeybee belongs to me only!”
“You poor losers, does Big Honeybee even know you? Calling her ‘wife’ left and right.’
“I’m telling you, honeybee doesn’t like men! Why hasn’t she had a boyfriend in all these years?”
“Is that true or false? Are you kidding? I’ll teach you a lesson!” “Is it true or false? Is Big Honeybee really part of our team? Oh, gosh!”
“I heard this rumor a while ago, is it true?”
“D*mn it! These scheming women! Our Honeybee, how could she? She’s had so many rumored boyfriends!”
“Boyfriends? Our Big Honeybee is a pure fairy, untainted by the world! How could she possibly be interested in you all!”
“You’re all wrong…”
Big Honeybee, at this moment, looked at the enthusiastic discussions of her fans in the live stream chat.
Her eyes revealed a hint of embarrassment.
When had she ever seen a scene like this?
What were all these passionate and sometimes crude comments in the chat?
She couldn’t handle it!
Seeing that the atmosphere in Big Honeybee’s live stream had taken an unexpected turn, Xiaowen quickly spoke up, “Ahem, since everyone is so enthusiastic, let’s start the interaction with the first streamer.’
As Xiaowen initiated the process, in order to ensure authenticity, the first interaction was randomly chosen, and it was drawn from all the streamers on the platform who were currently live.
This was the most genuine way to do a random pick!
However, when Xiaowen made the selection and initiated the interaction, she and everyone in the live stream, including Big Honeybee, were left stunned.
This streamer was quite special!
