Seeing the constant flood of â99,900â in the live stream chat, Brother Dao, Li Yidao, resisted the urge to change the price.
âThank you all for your support, but itâs just a candle. If itâs priced at 99,000,
Iâm afraid some people might misuse it.â
âSo, itâs still 999, no deception, giving everyone a fair choice.â
Saying this, Li Yidao didnât give the fans a chance to react anymore and immediately shared the link for the candles.
999 each.
At this moment, some fans were still typing in the chat, while others were already prepared.
After Li Yidao shared the link, some instinctively refreshed the page.
Thenâ¦
They found it had frozenâ¦
When they finally managed to refresh, the quantity was already at oâ¦
Good heavens.
âF*ck! Are you still human? I didnât even get in, and itâs already sold out?â
âSob, my goddess told me that if I couldnât get Brother Daoâs candle, she wouldnât let me be her backup anymore. What should I do?â
âAh, my five million! Iâve already found the lottery booth to buy the lottery ticket. I was just waiting for the candle, but now itâs gone, and my five million is gone.â
âD*mn it! I was at the payment screen, but itâs because I entered the wrong payment password! F*ck!â
âHey, upstairs idiot, thereâs something called âone-click payment!!â
âThatâs right! I got it. Chirp, chirp. Thatâs great. When the time comes, Iâm going to make a wish with my boyfriend.â
âCough, cough. The guy upstairs, are you sure itâs your boyfriend youâre talking about? Did I mistake your gender?â
âTsk, what era is this? The heterosexuality is old school!â
âAlright, stop chatting, I got ten candles in one go, chirp, chirp! Be jealous!â
âCough, cough, anyone who wants but missed out can message me. We can talk details. Brother Daoâs style ritual candlesâyou wonât get ripped off!â
âCan your candles compare to Brother Daoâs candles? Who do you think youâre fooling?â
âThatâs right! Brother Daoâs yellow paper can win five million when burned, so why canât these candles bring in three million when lit?â
âChirp, chirp, I canât wait. Iâm going to use the candle when watching porn! I wonât get caught, for sure!â
âUpstairs, youâre amazing! Are you just scared of getting caught?â
Seeing the rampant discussions in the live stream chat, Li Yidao was left speechless for a moment.
What on earth were they talking about?
Itâs as if his candles were some kind of magical genie lamps?
Of course, the candles must have some effects since they cost him ten years of his lifespan.
As for how effective they are⦠to be honest, Li Yidao himself wasnât entirely sure at this point.
Everything would have to wait for feedback from the fans.
âWell⦠for those who didnât manage to get one today, donât worry. I will continue to offer surprises to everyone from time to time in the future.â
âToday is getting late, so letâs leave it at that. Goodbye, everyone.â
After bidding farewell to the audience, Li Yidao chose to end the live stream.
As they looked at the now-black screen in the live stream room, all the netizens were once again left stunned for three seconds.
âF*ck! Brother Dao, whatâs going on? Canât you stay a bit longer?â
âThe platformâs first-ever live stream product promotion, less than ten minutes from the start to sharing the link, and the streamer goes offline.â
âMost importantly, Brother Dao left the live stream room with tens of millions of fans! Do you think the platformâs operations team is crying?â
âIf I were in charge of the platform, I would have begged Brother Dao to continue the live stream! Haha, do you know how much traffic Brother Dao generated in this single live stream?â
âI saw that the whole internet was promoting Brother Daoâs upcoming surprise today. The platformâs operations team must be crying. They spent a fortune on promotion, and the live stream only lasted for ten minutes.â
âBy the way, does anyone want to sell the candles they just bought? Iâll pay 1 million! Donât bother if itâs the same kind. Of course, you can try to deceive me, but the consequences are yours to bear!â
â1 million? God! Suddenly, I feel like crying. Why did I find a girlfriend?â
âHey, the guy upstairs, what does finding a girlfriend have to do with this?â âIf I donât have a girlfriend, my speed wonât drop!â
âDonât be ridiculous! There were not many single people who could snatch the candle.â
The time-sync comments in the live stream room gradually calmed down after Li Yidao left for about half an hour.
Itâs evident that Li Yidaoâs fan engagement was at an astonishing level!
After closing the live stream, Li Yidao didnât immediately lie down.
Instead, he put on some clothes and walked out of the funeral shop.
Today was a special day.
He casually locked the shopâs door.
âBrother Dao? Are you going out so late?â Li Yidao had just locked the door when he heard Sister Zhouâs voice behind him.
Turning around, he saw Sister Zhou and Li Xinting standing outside the door.
It seemed like they were planning to go out too.
Li Yidao nodded. âYeah, I was getting bored at night, so I thought Iâd go out for a walk and grab some late-night snacks.â
âThatâs great! We were planning to get some late-night snacks too. We were even thinking of asking if you wanted some! Letâs go together!â Li Xinting said happily.
But after saying it, she felt a bit regretful. Li Yidao had always intentionally kept some distance from them. This sudden invitation seemed a bit awkward, didnât it?
To be honest, Li Yidao was taken aback by the invitation too. However, after a moment of contemplation, he smiled slightly and nodded.
There was no need to refuse, and he didnât find it boring to spend time with them.
Seeing Li Yidao nod, the two of them seemed very pleased.
âIn that case, letâs go for some crawfish! I know a place that serves amazing crawfish!â
âYeah, letâs have crawfish! How about it, Brother Dao?â When Li Xinting suggested crawfish, Sister Zhou also wore a happy expression.
Itâs clear that crawfish was indeed a standard choice for the evening.
Li Yidao nodded without refusal. In fact, he had intended to go out for crawfish.
Every year on this day, he would go out for a crawfish meal with Li Yinuo. It was one of Li Yinuoâs favorite foods, and it was a special day when they chose to eat it.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a small restaurant not far from their shop. When a large plate of crawfish was served, both women began to eat voraciously, paying no attention to their appearance.
It must be said that women, sometimes, were content as long as there was food.
Li Yidao, too, didnât hold back. He also enjoyed crawfish.
âDing ding, ding dingâ¦â
Just when the three of them were almost done eating, Li Yidaoâs phone suddenly rang. Who would call him at such a late hour?
Li Yidao took off his gloves in confusion and took out his phone to check. Seeing the caller ID, he was momentarily puzzled.
The old man?
Why would the old man call him at this late hour?
He answered the call. âIâm listening. Whatâs up?â
âCome over to my place. My friend has encountered some trouble, and I need you to go and check it out,â the old manâs voice sounded calm, but Li Yidao could sense the gravity beneath the calm exterior.
âAlright, I understand. Iâll come over right now.â
There was no need for hesitation. Even if it was late at night, Li Yidao would go without a second thought. In this world, aside from Li Yinuo, the only person he cared about without reservation was this old man.
So⦠his affairs were Li Yidaoâs affairs.
Howeverâ¦
He had previously agreed to find a suitable time to help the old manâs friend. But nowâ¦
To ask him to come over at this late hour, could it be that something serious had happened?
