Chapter 327 - 325: Going Live

After finishing refining the "Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Needle," Lu Heng fiddled with it for a while longer.

He felt as thrilled as a child with a new toy, having a blast.

Once he had his fill of fun, it was already seven o’clock.

He did a quick mental calculation and realized it had been about a week since he last streamed.

Today, being a rare day without outside shenanigans, it was time to check in on his bunch of dopey stream buddies.

So, he opened up the Douhu platform, which he hadn’t graced for a week, and began tonight’s stream.

Ever since Lu Heng started streaming, he had attracted a massive audience to the Douhu platform.

Therefore, whenever he went live, Douhu would immediately push out notifications about his stream.

As soon as his followers received the notification, they would all rush into the stream room.

"It’s been a week, and I missed you so much, Master!"

"Master, do you know how hard it was for me to survive without you these seven days?"

"I practically survive on your streams, Master!"

"Whoa, that’s a bit much, isn’t it?"

"Master, where are you? After much pondering for a month, I’ve decided to become your apprentice!"

"Tsk... if the Master were to accept disciples, do you think it would be your turn?"

"Exactly, someone like me with full potential, good fortune, and high comprehension is the real standard for Master’s disciples for sure!"

"I dream of becoming Master’s apprentice!"

"Indeed, dreaming is all you’ll do."

"Folks, last week at a massage session, a young lady found out her client was actually her young boyfriend, still in his 2000s, and she broke down on the spot, leading to an explosive exchange of past stories. It was quite intense."

"Cough cough... brother, let’s hear more about the massage!"

"Are all young couples so wild these days?"

"What is this, some kind of cosplay?"

"Wait, I don’t get it... if it’s a proper massage place, why would she break down? If not, then what was her issue?"

"Whoa, that does make sense!"

"So the question is, was the massage place that brother went to legit or not?"

"Is it the kind where 298 bucks gets you to cloud nine?"

"Aren’t you afraid of getting caught?"

Lu Heng watched this batch of dopey stream buddies spout their usual nonsense, speechless as ever.

"Cough!"

He cleared his throat to interrupt their rambling chatter.

Then, stroking his long beard, he smiled kindly and said, "Good evening, friends!"

"Tonight’s stream is just like before, a fortune-telling stream!"

"As always, I’ll randomly select two lucky viewers from those who send gifts for fortune-telling..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience eagerly sent their gifts.

Lu Heng never specified a gift standard, even mentioning a few times that even free check-in gifts would do.

Thus, his stream room was always full of fans with or without money, all participating or just enjoying the show.

All viewers stuck to the principle of ’participation and a good show’."

Almost every stream, the randomly picked lucky viewer would experience something remarkable.

Take the last stream, for instance; no one expected a child’s disappearance to unravel so many things.

So everyone watched tonight’s stream with anticipation.

Meanwhile, as gifts were being sent, viewers began discussing a new topic.

"Hey everyone, did you hear about the Minma zombie thing?"

"Zombie? Is it a new movie?"

"Whoa, don’t discuss this, or you might get the Master’s stream banned!"

"It’s best not to discuss this topic too much, whoever talks gets banned!"

"I’ve seen several WeChat groups get banned for discussing related topics."

"I’ve heard some things, just not sure if they’re true or not."

"It’s true indeed! If not, would the global governments enforce a ban on the topic?"

"There are video clips circulating, originating from Minma."

"I heard Minma’s local government even held a news conference, informing various countries of the situation."

"I have a friend who got duped into Koukang’s Tengxin Park two months ago and has now returned."

"Is this another ’I have a friend’ story?"

"Come on, tell us what’s happening over there!"

"My friend said all the staff in Tengxin Park are dead, many drained by zombies into mummies. He escaped with others who were tricked there, got detained in Nanxiang for several days before being released."

"Gasp... Are there really zombies?"

"I don’t fear being banned; I’ll just tell you! I’ve seen the surveillance video. A vampire zombie lay in a black coffin, impervious to bullets, and could effortlessly drag people into the coffin, spitting them out as mummies."

"Master, do zombies really exist in this world?"

"Master, we need your wisdom!"

In the stream, many viewers were very curious about the zombie topic.

The discussion on this matter seemed to get more lively.

Lu Heng glanced over, feeling like the buzz wasn’t quite there yet; it should simmer a bit more.

Then, he smiled and said, "Alright, five minutes are up. Let’s draw tonight’s two lucky viewers!"

After saying so, he clicked the draw function in the stream room.

In the blink of an eye, tonight’s two lucky viewers were selected.

"Let’s congratulate ’Teeth Grinding Before Bed’ and ’Be My Cat’ as tonight’s lucky viewers!"

After checking the results, Lu Heng announced the two viewers picked tonight.

"Darn, why wasn’t I picked again?"

"Not being picked is normal, isn’t it?"

"Yeah, I’ve been a fan since the beginning, and I’ve never been picked either!"

"If I get picked, I’ll immediately go buy a lottery ticket!"

"Don’t worry, even if the Master picks you, the lottery company definitely won’t."

"Let’s continue the earlier topic: if that vampire zombie actually exists, what would we do?"

"Just stay cool! If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up, so why worry?"

"But I’m 1.95 meters tall; I’m afraid of getting squashed!"

"I’m 1.59; may I hold onto your leg?"

"As long as the state exists, they won’t let you be drained into a mummy, right?"

"Honestly, I’d like to experience becoming a zombie! With a big mouth and two sharp teeth, how cool is that!"

"Got it, got it! I’ll just break my dog’s canine teeth and fit them for you later!"

Ignoring the bullet comments, Lu Heng continued, "Now, let’s welcome our first lucky viewer—’Teeth Grinding Before Bed’!"

With that, he sent an invite to the first lucky viewer of the night for a mic session...
