Chapter 2: First live stream

Jungkook spent two hours chatting with the fans in his stream. Only a few dozen people had entered the stream, and they only came for the sake of the original owner's face.

No one wanted their fortune told; the newcomers were all just spamming comments.

【Wow, the little brother is so handsome.】

【How tall is the little brother? Is he a 'Little Potato' brother?】

Jeon Jungkook: "180 cm. I'm a 'Big Sweet Potato' brother."

【Little brother's hair is so curly. He looks so well-behaved and cute; he's exactly my favorite type.】

Jungkook smiled slightly. 'I can snap a fierce ghost's neck with one hand. Is that cute enough?'

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the comment section changed.

【Ahhh!】

【Little brother, look behind you!】

【There's a ghost!】

【Ahhh, Little Jin, there's a vase flying in mid-air behind you!】

Jungkook turned his head to take a look; it was just the old man cleaning. "Everyone, don't panic. That's the original owner of this house. He died but didn't want to leave, so I'm just living with him. The old man is quite diligent; he's currently doing the housework."

【Holy crap, when the Streamer talked about fortune-telling, divination, and exorcism, he was for real !】

Due to this supernatural phenomenon, a large crowd quickly flooded into the stream, and the comments became all sorts of varied.

【Fake. It's probably being held up by a fishing line.】

【'Approaching Science' could film five episodes on this.】

【Technology and hard work. If you're so capable, why don't you let the old man reveal his true form?】

Jungkook turned to look at the old man and thought for a moment. "Revealing his true form won't work. Humans and ghosts shouldn't interact. If you see a ghost, you'll have bad luck, and that would be my fault."

【See, he's a liar making excuses.】

"Is it okay if I order him to do something?"

Jungkook pointed at the yellow paper behind him. "Pick up these papers."

In the video, a stack of yellow paper rose into the air out of nowhere, as if someone was actually supporting it with their hand, and it even trembled slightly.

【Oh my, it's even voice-controlled. High-tech.】

【What kind of technology is this? Reveal the secret for everyone.】

Jungkook felt helpless. What could he do if no one believed him?

Just then, a fan account popped up.

【Taro Paste Bobo tipped an Angel Halo.】

【Taro Paste Bobo: Little Kook, Little Kook, I found someone who needs a fortune told.】

After the live connection was established, two high school-aged kids appeared on the other side, a boy and a girl. The girl was Taro Paste Bobo. She nudged the boy. "Little kook, this is my cousin. He lost his electric scooter. Can you help him find it?"

Jungkook asked a few brief questions about the color of the scooter and the time it was lost, then he picked up the yellow paper in front of him and showed the calligraphy written on it to the camera: "Marsh, West, Broken."

"Marsh represents water, Dui represents West, and 'Broken' means incomplete. In other words, the electric scooter is in a place with water to the West, not far from your current location. Go look for it. However, it's damaged and probably unusable."

Taro Paste Bobo immediately took her cousin to look for it. "Little Kook, I'll keep the connection with you and live stream the search for the scooter."

Jungkook knew that Taro Paste Bobo wanted to help increase his stream's popularity. Since it was a kind gesture, there was no need to refuse.

After ten minutes or so, the two of them indeed found the electric scooter thrown into the water at the edge of the artificial lake. The battery had been removed, making it impossible to ride.

The cousin's eyes lit up. "That really is a bit magical."

Taro Paste Bobo said to him proudly, "See, I told you Little Kook wouldn't lie to you."

Jungkook smiled slightly and operated the backend to refund Taro Paste Bobo 2,999 yuan. "I'll just take one yuan as the divination fee. You're still a child; I can't take your money."

The platform took a fifty percent cut, so to refund the 2,999, Jungkook had to pay half out of his own pocket.

However, this move was very effective. The stream already had six thousand people watching live.

Jungkook looked at the camera, his long eyelashes fluttering. A polite yet distant smile hung on his lips. "Are there any other patrons who want a fortune told? I do three divinations a day, and there are two left for today."

【Mount Tai: Streamer, do you sell Peace Talismans?】

Jungkook: "I have Peace Talismans. 500 each."

【Mount Tai sent an Angel Halo.】

【Mount Tai: I don't want a fortune told. I want to use this money to buy a Peace Talisman.】

Connecting to Mount Tai.

Soon, an honest and simple-looking middle-aged man appeared in the stream. He spoke with a regional dialect and looked a bit shy in front of the camera. "I have four children. With the Dragon Boat Festival coming up, I wanted to get Peace Talismans for them, but they're too expensive at the temple. I can't afford them."

Jungkook looked at the man's face and blinked, hesitating for a few seconds. "You have four children? Your biological children?"

The man nodded. "Of course they're my biological children."

"But, looking at your features, you're fated to have no children..."

"Why don't you go get a DNA test?"

"You brat, if you don't know how to divine, just say so. If you don't have Peace Talismans, then you don't. What nonsense are you talking about? I have four kids; how could I be fated to have no children? I knew you were a swindler."

"Scammer, give me my money back!"

Jungkook sighed. The platform had already taken half the money, so he would have to cover the other half again.

The comment section also exploded, with everyone speculating about who was telling the truth.

Regardless of who was telling the truth, everyone was unanimously urging the man to get a DNA test, looking like they were just enjoying the drama.

The man was provoked by the comments in the stream. He left a harsh parting word and closed the connection. "I'll test them! If it turns out they're all my kids, I'll come back and make you pay for my reputation!"

Once the man left, the stream became quiet again. Jungkook continued to ask, "Next patron."

At that moment, Jungkook received a connection request and clicked accept.

It was a man in his early thirties with a scruffy beard. It looked like recent events had left him quite overwhelmed.

The man's voice was a bit raspy. "Hello, Streamer. Can I have my fortune told first and then pay? Money is a bit tight for me lately."

Jungkook nodded. "Sure."

'But you clearly have the appearance of someone who has recently come into wealth; you just made a big fortune.'

The man didn't know what Jungkook was thinking and proceeded to state his request. "Streamer, my wife is missing. She went out to play last week and never came back. She's been missing for five days now."

The man held his head, rubbing his messy hair into a bird's nest. "I've looked everywhere, and I've asked everyone I could ask, but there's no news. The police have been looking for her too."

He looked up, gazing at Jungkook behind the screen with eyes full of hope. "Streamer, I'm really at my wit's end. I happened to see you here telling fortunes and helping someone find a scooter, so I wanted to give it a try. Can you help me figure out where my wife is?"

"Alive, I want to see her; dead, I want her body. I can't just lose her without any explanation."

The man's face was full of deep affection and pain, and the netizens in the comment section began to spam the screen.

【True love exists in the world after all. As expected, love always belongs to others.】

【Crying over other people's love stories every day.】

【Streamer, didn't you say you're not using technology? If you help him find his wife, I'll believe you.】

【+1. I know this man. He's in our city. The news about him searching for his wife has been out for several days. It's true his wife is missing; he shouldn't be a plant.】

【Big brother, don't be fooled. This Streamer hired students to act as plants for finding that scooter.】

【Big brother didn't give any money, so he can't be scammed. Hahaha.】

【Big brother is still a big brother. Strong.jpg】
