I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

Chapter 233 Is This a Dream or Reality?

The soldier’s real name is Wang Yibing, and he is his best friend since childhood.

We were classmates from kindergarten to junior high school, and went to the same high school, but we didn't get into the same university. The adults of the two families also knew each other.

One month before Wang Yibing took the college entrance examination, his parents were killed in a car accident.

This greatly affected his performance, resulting in A Bing's unsatisfactory college entrance examination results.

After barely attending school for half a semester, he didn't like school, and he had a younger sister who also needed to go to school, so he simply dropped out and found a job for himself.

He has set up stalls at night markets, delivered takeout, worked on construction sites, and even started a business by opening a milk tea shop, but he lost everything.

Later, we hit the trend of live streaming and short videos. Although we didn’t make a big success, we are now on the right track.

Wang Yibing has a very rich experience, but what is rare is that even though they are not on the same page, they are still good friends and have never lost contact.

Although they are of the same age, Xie Yuan has to admit that Brother Bing has much more experience than himself, a college student - in real life; so now he wants to ask him if there is any way to help his family get out of this predicament.

Just as Xie Yuan sent the message, before he put down his phone, the WeChat notification sound rang.

Soldier:?
Soldier: Damn it

Brother Soldier: ?????

Soldier: Are you awake? Damn, you sleep so well!
Xie Yuan couldn't help but smile, but before he could reply, a voice message came in.

He picked up the call, but before he could say anything, a hoarse voice started yelling:

"Hello? Xie Yuan? Is it really you? Not a scammer? Damn it, if you are a liar pretending to be a brother, I will catch you even if I run to northern Myanmar!"

"It's my soldier brother. I've been discharged from the hospital."

Xie Yuan's smiling voice came through the receiver.

"Fuck! You're really awake! You...I...I just know that you've been causing trouble for thousands of years!"

The soldier was so excited that he stuttered several times and made a summary.

Xie Yuan couldn't help but say:
"Oh, don't worry, I won't die before you."

"My mouth stinks because I haven't brushed my teeth for a month. Where are you? I'll pick you up."

Xie Yuan laughed and scolded:
"You brush your teeth every day but you still don't feel any better! Well, I'm at home..."

He paused suddenly and told his current address.

There was silence over there as well, and Wang Yibing knew that they had sold the house. But after a moment, a duck-voiced voice shouted:

"Wait a minute, I'll come pick you up now. You are the boss today, I dare not let you get tired!"

"I'll tell you when we get there."

Xie Yuan hung up the call and smiled.

It’s been a long time since I last talked to my true best friend.

He found his mother and saw that Wang Yafang had already gotten up, so he whispered:
"Mom, I'm going out with Wang Yibing, so I won't be in charge of dinner."

"You want to go out? This..."

Wang Yafang hesitated and was reluctant to agree. But Xie Yuan bent his arms and showed off his muscles:
"Mom, I'm in good shape now. I've been holding it in for more than a month, so I'm going out to move around. Don't worry, Wang Yibing is driving."

Wang Yafang thought about Xie Yuan's performance when Boss Tian came to make trouble just now, and she felt inexplicably relieved.

My son has really grown up suddenly... and his body has become stronger.

"Go ahead, be careful on the road. Come back soon."

"Okay... Oh, wait a minute, let's talk about it when he gets here."

Xie Yuan smiled and sat down on the sofa again.

He saw his mother running to the Buddha statue to worship again, lighting incense devoutly, and sighed secretly.

My mother didn’t believe in Buddhism before...but now she has invited Buddhism to our home.

"arrive."

About ten minutes later, the phone vibrated and rang.

When Xie Yuan saw it, he replied "I'll be right down", said hello to Wang Yafang, and went downstairs directly.

When he got to the street, he saw Wang Yibing's domestic new energy electric car at a glance, walked over, opened the door, sat in the passenger seat, and said with a smile:
"Bingzai, long time no see!"

Wang Yibing has a head of shaggy hair, a square face with sharp eyes, and is dark and strong.

He looked at Xie Yuan, who looked very happy, and wanted to punch him, but hesitated and asked:

"Xie Yuan! Fuck, you can really move? Do you... have any sequelae?"

"Nothing, just that my memory may be a little bit problematic. Please bear with me if I can't remember anything."

Xie Yuan said calmly.

When Wang Yibing heard this, he leaned back and said exaggeratedly:
"Is this true? You lost your memory? Jason Bourne? You wouldn't suddenly get provoked and start beating people up, would you?"

he half-joked.

But in fact, the first time he saw Xie Yuan, he felt that Xie Yuan was a little different, as he had been friends with him since childhood.

"Don't worry, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."

Xie Yuan said calmly.

Wang Yibing was stunned for a moment before he reacted and scolded with a smile:

"Idiot! You lost your memory, but you're still the same. Come on, what do you want to eat? I'll take you out for some fresh air."

"Just eat something light."

Wang Yibing hesitated again:

"Xie Yuan, can you really go out? Do you need to rest?"

"Yes, I am very healthy now, and my indicators are definitely better than yours."

"Really? I don't believe it."

Wang Yibing rolled his eyes and took out a handgrip dynamometer:

"Try it. Grip strength is the best indicator of a person's health. Let me see if you have kidney deficiency."

Xie Yuan had also heard of this saying that sub-healthy people and the elderly hardly have strong grip strength.

He took the dynamometer and squeezed it slowly. When he noticed from the corner of his eye that Wang Yibing's eyeballs were about to pop out, he let go.

"almost."

Wang Yibing withdrew his surprised look and said with a strange expression:

"I thought you were so relaxed and could squeeze again, but it turns out you were just pretending. Well, your grip strength... is okay."

Wang Yibing works in front of a computer every day. To stay healthy, he has always had a habit of exercising. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a handgrip dynamometer in his car. He just exercises when he's waiting for a red light. He used to work on construction sites and deliver food, so he's in good shape, as you can tell by his muscular body.

However, when he used this handgrip dynamometer, he could only reach the level of Xie Yuan just now, and he still had to grit his teeth.

It’s strange, he wasn’t so strong before, right?
Wang Yibing felt that Xie Yuan was a little different, but when he thought about the fact that he had truly experienced life and death, it was not surprising that some changes had occurred.

"Okay! Since you've really recovered, I'll treat you to a big meal to celebrate!"

A fusion restaurant with exquisite decoration.

Xie Yuan frowned slightly:

"Bingzai, isn't this a bit expensive?"

"Don't worry, I'm a big anchor now, I'm not short of money, I'll treat you!"

Wang Yibing waved his hand and said arrogantly.

Xie Yuan shook his head:
"You've only been in business for a short time. Didn't you also owe a lot of debt when you started your business? Your sister still has to go to school. Besides, my mom said you gave me more than 70,000 yuan some time ago? And it was in both small and large amounts..."

Wang Yibing paused, waved his hand, and said with a smile:
"My traffic has increased recently, and there are also advertisements. I can make this money in two or three months. I have a bright future! Don't talk about other things. Let's eat here today! Congratulations to you for finally waking up!"

Xie Yuan couldn't persuade him, so he had to sit down in this restaurant where the average cost per person was over a thousand yuan.

Exquisite dishes were served one after another. Although they were clearly Chinese food, Xie Yuan felt that they inexplicably resembled Japanese food.

There are many dishes, each one more exquisite than the other, but they are served in small plates and dishes.

However, the appearance was indeed excellent and the taste was also very good, but Xie Yuan did not dare to open his stomach...

Seeing that every time a dish was served, Wang Yibing would eat it with his phone first, taking a short video and mumbling something. Xie Yuan asked casually:
"How's your Kuaishou business going? You just said it's making a lot of money?"

"It's OK, we're on the right track..."

Wang Yibing suddenly looked up:
"You want to try?"

As expected, we have been friends since childhood. He understood what I meant with just one sentence.

Xie Yuan smiled and said:

"I did have this thought. You know my family's financial situation, and a debt collector came to our house today, so I wanted to ask you for advice."

"Debt collector? There are still such people nowadays? Are you and Auntie okay?"

Wang Yibing frowned.

"Can you come here if you have something to do? You must have been taken to the police station. Debt collectors are keeping up with the times now. They don't fight with fists, they fight with words..."

Xie Yuan said:

"I kind of need some quick money. Is this a good time to enter the market? Has the boom passed?"

"If you want to make quick money, you can invest in stocks. The recent rise is encouraging... Never mind, it's almost like gambling. Who knows if there will be a scythe behind the surge? And you don't have the capital, do you?"

Wang Yibing pondered and said:

“The popularity of live streaming and short videos has actually gone a bit too far, but it’s not impossible to do it. Everyone wants to get involved in this industry, and it seems that the competition is fierce, but most people are just the denominator. As long as you have content and it works, you will still get traffic.

"But this thing looks simple, but it actually requires a lot of effort. You... well, why don't you just come back with me tonight and try it."

Xie Yuan looked alert:
"What? I sell my art, not my body."

Wang Yibing pretended to vomit:

"I'd rather look for a masturbation cup than you. I'm going to broadcast live tonight, come and watch."

"Live broadcast? What are you broadcasting recently?"

"Black monkey! You don't know... Oh, sorry, you were covered with tubes at that time, it's normal that you didn't know."

Wang Yibing smiled and said sorry, but in fact he didn't mean sorry at all.

Seeing that my brother is really fine, I will definitely hurt him casually.

It’s a pity that I was really sad at that time and didn’t take more photos during the visit…

Black Monkey has released it?

When I saw the first promotional video, I was also very much looking forward to it.

Xie Yuan was stunned, as if he was in another world.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

After a big meal, Xie Yuan ate about 30% full, then got into Wang Yibing's car and went to his home.

Wang Yibing's home is next to the park. The location is good and the area is not small, about 140 square meters.

His family was well off back then. His parents ran a small business and had a son and a daughter, both of whom had good academic performance.

It’s a pity that a car accident destroyed this family. The parents passed away so suddenly without leaving many things. Gradually, the brother and sister lost their source of income and even had difficulty making ends meet.

But no matter how difficult it was, Wang Yibing gritted his teeth and persevered. He did not sell the house that carried the memories of his family. He also supported his younger sister to go to college, and his own life also improved.

Xie Yuan said that he and Bingzai were father and son, and secretly praised him as a manly man.

Now Wang Yibing's sister lives in the school dormitory, and he lives alone in the house.

Xie Yuan walked into the house familiarly, and came to the study room that he had converted into a live broadcast room. He watched him open the rainbow-colored computer case and said:
"Change the lights again? It's quite a good atmosphere. You must have rewarded yourself a lot, right?"

"Go to hell. Sit down there."

Wang Yibing turned on the device, started the live broadcast, and started to increase the volume:
"Family, here I come! We must beat Tiger Pioneer today! Can't beat it in one night? Three times, at most, based on my skills!"

Watching several comments floating by, all expressing disbelief, Wang Yibing curled the corner of his mouth and winked at the person beside him, somewhat smug.

Xie Yuan smiled and motioned for him to continue.

"My family, today I will teach you how to pet cats. My life...doesn't count."

"Wait, I've completely figured out his routine. Take some medicine first, move around, and when I can't see you, I'll look back and take out... uh uh uh, I'm greedy for the sword."

"There's only one more time. Why are you in such a hurry? You can't pass it after three times? Impossible. But I'll wash my hair while standing upside down."

"... I'll wash it, the anchor keeps his word."

Wang Yibing went to get a basin of water, then stood upside down on a chair and shouted:

"Xie Yuan, help me down."

Xie Yuan stood up, helped Wang Yibing steady his body, and watched him reach for the water in the basin with his head.

There were more barrages instantly.

"6666"

"This anchor is good, he really does clean himself up when he's told to!"

"I got the free gift. Just close your eyes and press 0. It's a token of my appreciation."

"Is there someone next to him? I haven't seen him in the live studio before, anchor buddy? He looks pretty handsome."

"Let the anchor go down, and let the handsome guy do it."

"Bad job, stupid anchor, gone."

Seeing that although some people were complaining about the bad jokes, the popularity was still rising, Xie Yuan blinked, and a light bulb went off in his head, and he whispered:
"Bingzai, do you still want some heat?"

"Ah? I want it. Heat is my daddy!"

Xie Yuan smiled and moved the chair where Wang Yibing's legs were resting.

"Hey hey hey what are you doing?"

Wang Yibing was a little unstable for a moment, so Xie Yuan just held his thighs, lifted him up, and rinsed him in the basin like washing a mop.

"6666666666"

"Fuck, the anchor found a living devil!"

"This anchor's real body is a mop?"

"This handsome guy doesn't look strong, and his strength is a bit lacking. He treats people like mops? Isn't he a peerless warrior in ancient times?"

Xie Yuan poked Wang Yibing a few times, and just as he was about to stop, he heard a whisper from below:

"Don't stop! Keep going!"

Xie Yuan hesitated:

"Your brain will be congested later..."

"It's okay, don't stop! I'm having a blast! Almost there!"

Xie Yuan was so upset that he called Wang Yibing an idiot and started to tease him again.

After rinsing the basin of water, he helped Wang Yibing to his feet without blushing or panting.

Wang Yibing felt a little dizzy, but looking at the screen full of 666 and barrage of comments, he rubbed his eyes, thinking that something was really wrong with him.

"What the hell?"

Unprecedented heat was coming, and Wang Yibing felt like his brain was really congested, and he shouted excitedly:

"Family! The anchor keeps his word, right?"

The barrage of gifts was flying everywhere, half of them were praising the good performance, half of them were praising the anchor, and a small part was praising Xie Yuan.

"Is this handsome guy a strongman? The anchor is like a lump of iron, and this handsome guy is holding him up and rubbing him non-stop."

"Let him come. The anchor is too ugly. I can't eat."

There were quite a few people who said this. Wang Yibing, who had been doing live streaming for a while, saw the trend and hesitated for a moment. Then he thought of Xie Yuan's suggestion and felt that he was quite good at creating effects. So he said decisively:
"Xie Yuan, you come and broadcast!"

"what?"

Soon, Xie Yuan was pressed into his seat by Wang Yibing, who told him the key positions:
"This is to attack, this is to dodge, this is to hold down and charge... it's not difficult.

“Family members, my brother has never played before, how many seconds do you think he can last against Tiger Vanguard?

"Three seconds? You underestimate my brother, at least give him five seconds... How long does it take to fool the anchor? Fuck!

"Alright, host, let's start a voting process. Ten-second, thirty-second, one-minute... Hey, Xie Yuan, we all look down on you. Let's get started!"

After Xie Yuan figured out the key positions, he looked at the big orange cat on the screen in front of him and nodded.

I just watched it for a while and felt that... the soldier's reaction was a bit slow.

The boss's movements in this game are not that hidden and are still easy to spot.

The game's graphics were very sophisticated, which meant Xie Yuan could see every detail.

The boss's actions, which were difficult for ordinary people to react to, were simply slowed down in front of Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan controlled the monkey, dodging, attacking, dodging, and attacking. Although he didn't have many combos, he managed to prevent the Tiger Vanguard from touching him at all.

Wang Yibing's mouth slowly opened and he even forgot to explain, while the screen was full of question marks.

A few minutes later.

Seeing the Orange Tiger Vanguard fall to the ground, while the monkey controlled by Xie Yuan did not lose a drop of blood or use a bottle of medicine, the barrage of comments exploded.

"Invulnerable Tiger Vanguard? Holy shit! Where did you find this newbie with god-level outfit?"

"What a plain and simple Tiger Vanguard with no injuries. He seems to have only two operations, but he can pass it."

"I suddenly feel like I'm okay again... Monkey God, start!"

Wang Yibing was excited and surprised when he saw the barrage of comments that never stopped. He couldn't help but pat Xie Yuan on the back and shouted:
"Fuck! This isn't your first time! Tell me, when did you start playing secretly?"

Xie Yuan looked at him as if he were a fool, and twitched his lips:
"…What do you mean? While I was in the ICU? With the ECG monitor?"

Wang Yibing then recalled that his brother had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday, and he had been lying down when the Black Monkey was released. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Then his eyes lit up and he walked around Xie Yuan, clicking his tongue.

Is it true?
First time seeing the tiger-killing pioneer?
Never mind, there is always someone who can do it.

Although Tiger Vanguard can be called a monkey head harvester, there are always a few masters among 20 million players.

But is it still unharmed when you first see him?

It seems like no one on the Internet has heard of it?

Wang Yibing pointed at Xie Yuan and shouted into the microphone:

"Family members! Did you see that? This is my brother's first time playing Black Monkey, and he killed the Tiger Vanguard without taking any damage! My destiny man is here!
"What? You don't believe me? Why would I lie to you? This is a lousy job? Damn, what am I really saying?
"Really? I'd be a dog if I lied to you! Don't believe me? I'm telling you, my brother..."

He was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, and waved his hand:

"never mind!"

The screen was filled with insults and sarcasm. Wang Yibing pursed his lips, ready to skip the topic.

"It's okay, Bingzi, don't forget the heat."

Seeing this, Xie Yuan smiled and said.

"There's nothing to say about this."

Wang Yibing shook his head.

Xie Yuan smiled faintly and said:
"I've authorized you. What's there to be afraid of when the person is still alive?"

"But... isn't this using your scar to make money?"

Wang Yibing was very hesitant.

"If I don't make money, then my injury will be in vain?"

Xie Yuan said casually.

Wang Yibing was stunned and felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

His eyes were dim, and he had an idea in an instant, muttering: "Yuanzi, my brothers and sisters, my beloved relatives and friends! I didn't want to talk about this anyway...

"But since you said so, let them pay more!"

Wang Yibing coughed and started to quarrel with the commentator again:
“I said this brother, it’s the first time, and he’s an orphan for lying, okay?
"The anchor's parents died in a car accident a long time ago... Damn, who are they? Fuck you!

"Don't worry, I'm an orphan, but I won't lie to my family! What I said is what I said, I can prove it, what's the point of betting!
"This guy called 'Mr. Ma's diabetes caused my teeth to decay' is really playing the Super Carnival, right? Okay, I'll remember your ID, keep an eye on it!

"And xxx swipes planes... xxx swipes rockets... I'll write them all down in my little notebook."

Wang Yibing pulled a whiteboard over from behind and started writing names on it. The barrage of comments was full of 666s again.

The props are quite complete...

Xie Yuan thought silently.

Wang Yibing felt that the time was right and gave Xie Yuan a wink.

Xie Yuan had long ago asked his mother to send him screenshots of his hot news, discharge records, critical illness notices, charity fundraising pages, etc. on WeChat. He sorted them out, packaged them and sent them directly to Wang Yibing.

Seeing that Xie Yuan was done, Wang Yibing couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, then coughed a lot in a pretentious manner. When the barrage of comments was full of "Anchor, anchor, do you have lung cancer?", he suddenly displayed all the pictures he had received on WeChat on the screen.

"The cable car in the scenic area broke down and a college student fell and was seriously injured..."

"The family is in financial difficulty, and the charity has verified the situation. We are raising funds..."

"After the cable car accident, the college student fell and became a vegetable. He stayed in the ICU every day. The subsequent treatment costs are astronomical!"

Many of the comments were accompanied by pictures, including a photo of Xie Yuan lying in the ICU, along with a treatment sheet and yesterday's discharge certificate. After the barrage of comments was filled with question marks, people went completely crazy.

"My vegetative anchor is here!"

"Fuck, I always scold the anchor for being like a vegetable, but I'm not even as good as a vegetable!"

"No, it's really not P?"

"It's true. I've already found the news..."

"Holy crap, this is a top job! A vegetative patient wakes up just to fight a black monkey?"

Wang Yibing was so amused by the unprecedented explosion of comments that he immediately changed the name of his live broadcast room to:

“Speed ​​running through Black Myth using chopsticks is outdated! Please call me a plant when I play the game! The first vegetative state anchor on the entire network is on his journey to recovery from Black Myth - the uninjured Tiger Vanguard.”

After watching the name change, the popularity data in the background kept rising. He couldn't close his mouth and asked Xie Yuan:
"Yuanzi, can you still fight? Can you still…"

Xie Yuan said calmly:
"Let me give it a try."

Xie Yuan already felt that his reaction speed, observation ability and hand-eye coordination were no longer on the same level as ordinary people.

When used in this kind of game, the gameplay is no different from ordinary people playing Snake.

So later on, even though Xie Yuan was playing for the first time, he immediately demonstrated the speed of a veteran speedrunner, and all the bosses were unscathed.

"What the hell?"

"???"

"66666"

"Oh no, 298 played him like the real Monkey King"

The barrage and Wang Yibing went from being shocked at first to feeling numb later on.

Xie Yuan also went from being unfamiliar in the beginning to becoming more and more familiar with the moves later, and his combos became more and more exciting. When he fought with the boss, it was like a real battle, with back and forth, it was pleasing to the eye and completely beyond ordinary people's imagination. I wonder how he could be so imaginative.

Xie Yuan naturally did not rely on imagination, but on experience.

The bosses in this game are well made, and some of their moves are similar to those of martial artists trained outside, and are real fighting routines.

But with Xie Yuan's level, he was like playing the real Monkey King.

Every time a boss is killed without taking any damage using a gorgeous combo, the barrage is filled with 6666, gifts keep coming, and there is even a super carnival.

Wang Yibing's backstage has been vibrating all the time. The super administrator and the guild have been constantly sending messages to keep him popular.

He has already rushed to the front page of tonight's live broadcast, and the popularity is much higher than ever before.

"This Yang Jian also uses an axe..."

Looking at the huge axe coming towards him, Xie Yuan suddenly smiled excitedly.

Wang Yibing's eyes had already turned red, and he didn't notice the change in Xie Yuan's attitude:
"Nonsense, haven't you seen Nezha Conquers the Dragon King?"

"…You probably want to talk about the Lotus Lantern, right?"

Xie Yuan shook his head, looking at the powerful and astonishing force of splitting Huashan, his eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​learning this.

But he just pursed his lips, put the thought aside and continued the live broadcast.

Soon, Xie Yuan seemed to have transformed into the Monkey King who was like the remains of the Monkey King on the opposite side. He controlled the character to defeat the final boss in an extremely gorgeous manner without any injury, thus bringing out the ending of the game.

The barrage of comments was so dense that the screen was invisible. Countless gifts were flooding the screen, and countless people were giving 666, but there were also countless people questioning it.

"It must be fake! At least this discharge record is fake. He must have been discharged a long time ago, secretly playing with monkeys, and then surprising everyone!"

"That's right! For the sake of living, Ao Lie doesn't want it anymore!"

"Even so, it's still a good life. Even if you start playing from the first day, there is no one on the entire network who can speed through it without taking any damage and play it so beautifully!"

"Yes, I feel like he is a real knight, fighting with his opponent. I even feel like he is teaching the boss how to fight."

"Especially Yinhu, wow, he fought so cool!"

Xie Yuan also saw this comment and nodded slightly.

Yinhu is quite like him, appearing and disappearing, with graceful movements. He would suddenly appear and chop people with a big knife. His movements were invincible and his blows were invincible, just like his own Tianyinshu and his killing move that swept through thousands of troops.

Wang Yibing had already gone to the side to answer the phone. People kept calling him, some for business and some for the guild. He finally freed his hands and said to Xie Yuan excitedly:
"Fuck, we're number one on the popularity list!"

Xie Yuan nodded and stood up:
"I should probably go back soon."

Wang Yibing was stunned for a moment, and said reluctantly:
"Now? Play it for a while longer. I have more gifts today than I have in a month..."

"It's okay, I'll take a taxi back by myself, you continue with your work. If I don't go back soon, my mom will be worried."

Xie Yuan shook his head.

Wang Yibing hesitated after hearing this, then gritted his teeth and shouted into the microphone:

"Family, my brother has to go back to the botanical garden. I won't be broadcasting today. See you next time!"

After he finished speaking, he turned off the live broadcast and walked out:

"Let's go, I'll take you home!"

Xie Yuan was a little surprised:

"Bingzai, what are you doing? It's a rare opportunity to be so popular, and you're wasting it!"

Wang Yibing shook his head:

"I said I would send you off. I'm worried about you going back alone."

Xie Yuan pursed his lips:
"I'm not really a vegetable, let's stop talking about this and get back to the broadcast!"

Wang Yibing's phone kept vibrating, so he simply turned it off and said with a smile:

"This is called suspense. If you keep them on suspense today, they will want to come tomorrow. You don't understand! Let's go, go home, mama's boy!"

It may not be that popular tomorrow. The money you earn is yours only when it is in your pocket. He will understand that...

Xie Yuan shook his head and sighed:

"Let's go, brother Bing."

In the car, Wang Yibing said with a smile while steering:
"Xie Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so good at live streaming. You are simply a natural live streaming saint! And the game you play, the game you play..."

He hesitated for a moment, unable to find the right adjective, and simply said:
"Let's not talk about it! This is really a talent, right? I never realized it before!"

If Wang Yibing hadn't known that Xie Yuan was lying in the ICU and watched him play for the first time, he would have suspected that he was indeed cheating.

"After waking up, I felt much clearer in my head."

Xie Yuan said.

Wang Yibing fell into deep thought, then said solemnly:
"Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. Did you activate the system? Are you the legendary protagonist?"

"Really? You know a lot."

Xie Yuan said with a smile.

"Then I am the protagonist's father, haha!"

Wang Yibing laughed strangely:
"Drive, drive, stop moving your hands!"

After laughing for a while, Wang Yibing became serious:
"Yuanzi, I think you can do this. Take advantage of today's popularity and register an account and start broadcasting tomorrow. You will definitely make money."

Xie Yuan had already thought about it and said directly:

"I'll go to your place and use your number."

Wang Yibing was stunned and asked subconsciously:

"Why? You do it yourself, and you make the money yourself... Don't say that! I can also make money by following you, and I can give you a lot of gold coins."

Xie Yuan shook his head:
"Brother, let's not talk about two sides. Your account is mature and the place is mature. I'm too lazy to do it. And I may not be able to do it for long. Let's split the money we earn in this period."

Wang Yibing was startled again:
"Why can't you do it for a long time? This popularity is enough to keep you famous for a while. What you don't know is that this trend is really popular! Even if it lasts for half a year or a year, it will be enough for you to make a lot of money."

"I may not have that much time..."

Xie Yuan said calmly.

When Wang Yibing heard this, his hands began to tremble, and he said nervously:

"Xie Yuan, what do you mean? Don't scare me."

"I mean live streaming! I still want to go to school in the future."

Xie Yuan made up an excuse.

Wang Yibing was silent for a while. Not going to college was his pain, so he felt particularly understood.

"I see. Okay. Yeah, if I make enough money, I want to go to school...Okay, here we are."

Xie Yuan got out of the car and turned around and said:
"Thank you, brother Bing."

"You are now as polite as an old hand. I will pick you up tomorrow and make a lot of money!"

Wang Yibing smiled and waved his hand, stepped on the accelerator, and left.

Xie Yuan returned home and saw Wang Yafang watching TV:
"Mom, I'm back."

"I'm back! It's good to be back."

Wang Yafang looked happy and obviously relieved.

Xie Yuan's heart was moved, and he said apologetically:
"Sorry, I'm late."

"No, no, Wang Yibing is down-to-earth. I feel safe when you play with him."

Wang Yafang said.

He was obviously worried about me, but he only asked me once and didn't urge me. He just waited at home quietly... Fortunately, he came back.

Xie Yuan felt warm in his heart and said:

"Mom, you go to bed first. I'll take a shower and then go to bed."

"It's okay, I'll adjust the water temperature for you."

After Xie Yuan finished his shower, he looked at the door and sighed:

"Dad hasn't come back yet?"

"It's almost time. They should have just finished checking the dormitories by now...you go to sleep first."

Xie Yuan nodded silently, returned to the room, lay on the bed, and looked at the mottled and peeling ceiling.

You must make money before you leave...

After lunch the next day, Wang Yibing came to pick up Xie Yuan again.

As soon as Xie Yuan got in the car, Wang Yibing thrust his phone directly at his face and spoke incoherently with excitement:

"Xie Yuan, did you see it? Did you see it?"

"WTF?"

"Video! The video of you playing Tiger Tiger without any damage yesterday was so cool, I recorded it and posted it on short videos and Pili Pili, and it was directly on the daily must-see list! Especially the Kuaishou short video, it became popular and got a million collections in one night! I only have a few fans in total, fuck!

"My backstage is flooded with messages now, all urging you to broadcast, saying that if you don't come, I will go to the botanical garden to find you! What the hell!"

Xie Yuan looked at the video on the hot list and nodded:
"Okay, let's go play it now."

Wang Yibing immediately stepped on the accelerator:
"Yo ho~"

When they got home, Wang Yibing personally moved a stool for Xie Yuan and adjusted the equipment. He looked at him sitting there calmly and said,
"Yuanzi, why do you seem not excited at all? I used to be so happy that I couldn't sleep when I gained dozens of followers, but now you have millions of people waiting to see you, why do you look so indifferent?

"Just like what they say in novels? Keep calm. Oh, you are just pretending."

Xie Yuan snorted:
"It's a small scene, isn't it? It's just a small scene."

"You've blown me up."

Xie Yuan smiled and suddenly said:

"If you were in my situation, you would be in the same situation."

Wang Yibing thought he was talking about the accident, so he just nodded silently, then patted him and whispered:
"here we go."

"Family! I'm here! I brought the plants back from the botanical garden!!!"

Xie Yuan has already discussed with Wang Yibing what to broadcast.

Just play high-difficulty action games, such as Elden Ring, Sekiro, etc., and perform speedruns without taking any damage.

These games have a large audience, a lot of people watching, exquisite graphics, and are easy to play excitingly. Even people who don't know much about the game can enjoy the fun.

Yesterday’s popularity hasn’t passed yet. As soon as Xie Yuan started broadcasting today, many people came to watch and the live broadcast room of “Please call me a plant when playing games!” was added to the homepage of Kuaishou Live.

Wang Yibing couldn't stop smiling as he watched the popularity surpass one million again and the number of fans of his account increased every second.

The number of fans before the show started yesterday was 30,000, and it doubled to 60,000 after the show ended.

I sent a video and it exceeded 100,000 views this morning.

Now that the show has started, many people who had been waiting saw Xie Yuan reappear and decisively clicked to follow him, and the number of followers is about to reach 200,000!
It’s really popular!

……

In the following days, Xie Yuan came to Wang Yibing's live broadcast in the afternoon. He chose a game to speed run every day. If he couldn't finish it in one day, he would spread it over several days. His popularity remained high.

This is certainly because his gaming skills are not at the same level as others, but also because of his experience as a vegetative state.

Wang Yibing directly posted various certificates in the live broadcast room for a long time, wishing that everyone could see them. He is a real vegetable.

None of the above would cause such popularity, but the combination of the two is both emotional and somewhat abstract, which immediately caters to the current Internet and has caused a phenomenal explosion of popularity.

In addition, Black Monkey, which originally rose to fame due to its popularity, was flooded with people online to take advantage of its popularity to expose counterfeits and question cheating, as well as the local TV station’s live interview with Xie Yuan who had just been discharged from the hospital, and the previous accident news.

All the materials were combined on the viral medium of short videos to create a real craze.

Seeing the number of fans rising rapidly and approaching one million, Wang Yibing sighed:
"Yuanzi, we must take this overwhelming wealth!"

Xie Yuan nodded silently. If he did this for a month, it should be enough.

Pay off the debt and redeem the house for my parents...more than enough.

A week later.

Xie Yuan was having lunch at home when there was a sudden knock on the door.

When Xie Yuan opened the door, he looked at Wang Yibing, who had a rather unpleasant expression, and raised his eyebrows and said:
"What's wrong?"

"It's okay...you eat first."

"You can come too."

"I'm not hungry."

Wang Yibing greeted Wang Yafang with a smile and waited by the side, feeling a little conflicted.

Xie Yuan frowned, finished his meal in a few bites, and pulled Wang Yibing to the bedroom:

"What happened?"

"Xie Yuan... there is a guild that wants to discuss cooperation with us."

Wang Yibing looked worried.

Xie Yuan pondered and said:
"If the guilds cooperate well, it's not impossible to increase the temperature... Are the conditions not right?"

"Well, I went to their company this morning to discuss the terms..."

Wang Yibing took a breath:
"They want 80% of our gift money, and they also want to take 80% of the live streaming profit. In exchange, they push the stream for us."

Xie Yuan frowned. Isn't this asking for too much?
Which one is so crazy?

"It's Big Brother."

Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows, Big Brother?

The number one internet celebrity on Kuaishou? A true giant with over 50 million fans?
No wonder, if they were to cooperate, they would seem to be able to be so arrogant.

Xie Yuan said slowly:
"If they push the flow seriously, even if we only have 20% left, the income will be higher than before?"

"Yes. But... there has been a similar game anchor who has been catching up with us these past few days. Although we have never done it, it is not far behind. I saw that the guy is actually the brother-in-law of Big Brother.

"My fans recorded my screen and said that he was not happy that we had taken away his attention in the live broadcast room and threatened to ban us and put us on ice. He also posted the chat history between him and his brother-in-law. This has happened before..."

Xie Yuan frowned suddenly.

If this is the case, then it is just getting something for nothing, recruiting people in the name of pushing traffic but then not providing any traffic, and defeating competitors directly without spending a single soldier?
How could anything be so cheap!

Xie Yuan pursed his lips and said:
"What if we don't agree?"

Wang Yibing's expression was complicated:
"If we don't agree, it might be even more embarrassing. They have 50 million fans, and we have less than 1 million. He can directly influence the platform..."

Xie Yuan was silent for a long time, then suddenly sneered:
"Hey, isn't this just the landlord village bully? No matter which society or era, the essence of the problem is exactly the same, it's just that the external forms are varied!"

Wang Yibing didn't know why Xie Yuan suddenly sighed like this, and was afraid that he might get sick from anger, so he quickly said:

"Yuanzi, don't worry, calm down, I'll think of a way! At worst, you can just hang out with them, there's always some benefit to be gained... maybe."

After Wang Yibing left, Xie Yuan frowned alone in the room.

He wanted to leave something for his parents in this world, even if it was just an illusion, it could make up for his eternal regret.

But this illusion is too damn realistic and too damn disgusting. How can you dream like this? You are not afraid that you will not play anymore.

Xie Yuan pondered for a long time. The cultivation in this world was all about money, power and status.

He was originally practicing quickly according to the rules, but unexpectedly a powerful enemy came and prevented him from developing, thus blocking his way to success.

Since his opponent didn't follow the rules and insisted on forcing him, there was no way for him to protect himself here...

Xie Yuan had no choice but to try another method.

A way to wake him up.

He sighed deeply, slowly sat on the bed, and began to breathe in and out in a special way.

Suddenly, the sound of water was heard all around, as if the stagnant lake water began to surge again.

Xie Yuan vaguely saw the dark water around him, and he seemed to be still wrapped in the dark water at the bottom of the lake.

His brows suddenly raised, and the surroundings suddenly became his own room again.

But, the feeling of being in the mysterious water...

still exists.

If I practice here, it would be the same as practicing in the mysterious water...

How fast will the practice be?
