Chapter 170: The Suspended Heart Finally Died

When he finally got home, the unread messages in Little Dazzle’s small group chat teasing him had already piled up to over 99+.

Although they weren't particularly mean, they were... extremely annoying!

Holding back his anger, Jiang Yun typed out: "Is this how you all treat your number one benefactor?"

Seeing Jiang Yun's message, Sister Tuo was the first to jump in: "Brother Yun, you are definitely not my number one benefactor!"

Jiang Yun: ..........

Damn it, he completely forgot that he had never gifted Sister Tuo anything.

"Maybe next time."

After sending this message, Jiang Yun set the group chat to "Do Not Disturb," washed up, and went straight to bed.

When Jiang Yun woke up the next morning, his hanging heart finally died a complete death.

Because Fang Siqi informed him: "The qualitative evaluation is locked in, the promotion is basically guaranteed."

Early in the morning, Jiang Yun fell completely silent.

The news of Fang Siqi’s impending promotion felt even worse than if his wife had cheated on him.

After all, he didn't even have a wife.

Yet he had declared in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers in his livestream that if Fang Siqi got promoted, he would do a handstand and diarrhea.

Initially, Jiang Yun was still banking on the possibility that the guy wouldn't be enough to secure Fang Siqi’s promotion.

He had even planned to use Fang Siqi's news to make a Douyin video mocking his own fans.

As a result, now... he was utterly speechless.

After having a quick breakfast, Jiang Yun returned to his gaming room and turned on his livestream.

The moment the stream started, the chat was completely flooded with viewers asking when Jiang Yun would make good on his promise.

"What's going on? You're serving up 'meal material' right at the crack of dawn?"

"Whoever said that has a seriously heavy appetite!"

"Brother Yun, when are you going to do that handstand diarrhea? I need to record my screen."

"Well, well, if it isn't the officially certified God of War of Chunxi Road? When are you becoming Douyin's number one Lao Ba?"

"............"

Facing the audience's teasing, Jiang Yun chose to ignore them entirely.

Of course, it wasn't that he didn't want to retort, but rather that there was simply no way to argue back.

"Oh my, as soon as the stream starts, there are already hundreds of thousands of people here, but why is the chat so quiet~"

Jiang Yun said with an exaggerated expression, acting as if he couldn't see the chat at all.

Then, he continued talking to himself: "I've been doing outdoor streams lately and haven't done any video calls for a while. Come, come, let's do some video calls today, play some PKs, and fleece some of your cash. The rules are still the same, let's begin, begin!"

With that, Jiang Yun directly opened the livestreaming call application feature.

Sure enough, as soon as the call function was enabled, the style of the chat instantly changed.

"Ten thousand bucks, here I come!"

"Today, this ten thousand is mine!"

"I've been preparing content for days, the King of Content is definitely going to be me this time!"

"I just love these video calls, I've finally caught one again."

"............"

Looking at the tens of thousands of call applications in the backend, Jiang Yun initiated the random draw mode.

"Hello, hello, hello, can Brother Yun hear me?"

As soon as the call connected, a soft and sweet voice came through Jiang Yun's headphones.

"Yes, yes, let me ask you first, do you have any content prepared? No content, no money, oh~"

Jiang Yun offered a friendly reminder.

"Uh... Brother Yun, I'm not here for content or money, I'm just here to chat with you."

"Chat?"

Jiang Yun paused for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "You aren't trying to gain my trust and then trick me into turning on my camera to trigger a banned-streamer catastrophe, are you?"

It wasn't that Jiang Yun was overly paranoid; it was mostly because his livestream had nearly been banned last time, leaving him with lingering trauma.

It was only after that incident that he reduced the frequency of his video calls.

"Don't worry, Brother Yun, I really am just purely here to chat with you."

The female fan on the call explained.

"Is that so........"

Jiang Yun rubbed his chin: "Then what kind of story do you want to in-v... chat about?"

"I don't have a story."

Jiang Yun: ..........

Ah????

"You don't have anything... then what are we talking about?"

Jiang Yun asked, looking somewhat bewildered.

"It's like this, Brother Yun, I'm a hardcore fan of yours. Sometimes I really envy your confidence. Can you teach me how to be as confident as you?"

"Confidence?" Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said, "What aspect of yourself are you not confident about?"

"Quite a few things. Because I have a lot of flaws, it's hard for me to feel confident."

"For example?"

"I have severe procrastination; I absolutely refuse to start anything until the very last second."

The corner of Jiang Yun's mouth curled up: "That just shows you're not only smart, but also highly efficient, capable of finishing tasks in a short amount of time. If that weren't the case, dragging your feet once or twice would ruin your life and work. As long as you can finish the task within the allotted time, who cares if you procrastinate or not, it's all the same!"

"Ah? Can you really spin it like that?" The female fan asked with a slightly strange tone. "But I also have a three-minute attention span; I like this one second and that one the next."

"That means you have a strong sense of curiosity and boundless energy! You can easily spot points that ordinary people miss!"

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, the female fan on the call fell silent for a moment, then probed tentatively, "Then I also have decision paralysis; I usually spend ages trying to figure out what takeout to order."

Jiang Yun said casually, "That shows your strong dialectical thinking! You weigh gains and losses and consider problems from multiple angles!"

This time, the female fan was silent for even longer.

"I have a severe mobile phone addiction; whenever I have free time, I pull out my phone and start playing."

Faced with the female fan's question, Jiang Yun easily defused it again: "That means you're relatively independent and can discover the joys of life all by yourself."

At this point, the female fan seemed to be locking horns with Jiang Yun and began firing off questions in rapid succession.

"I'm addicted to online shopping, always buying this and that, and I can never save money."

"It means you're a person who knows how to live and has great taste!"

"I sleep late and wake up late, and no matter how much people nag me, it's useless, I can never change it."

"It means you have an independent personality and clear cognition; you won't be easily influenced by others."

"I'm introverted and socially anxious."

"It means you are focused on yourself!"

"I'm not eloquent!"

"You don't lie, making you an honest and reliable person!"

"I have perfectionist tendencies."

"You hold yourself to strict standards!"

"I have obsessive-compulsive disorder!"

"You are meticulous and cautious!"

"I have anxiety, and I often feel anxious for no reason at all."

"You like to prepare for a rainy day!"

"I'm also hopelessly romantic!"

"You... you deserve to lack confidence."

Jiang Yun stared at the camera, utterly speechless: "Young lady, with so many flaws, if I were you, I wouldn't be confident either."

Hearing this, the female fan on the call said somewhat sheepishly, "Sorry, Brother Yun, it's mainly because I saw you constantly praising me, so I just made up a few on the spot."

"I praised you to boost your confidence, not for you to play games with me!"

"Hehe... I don't know if I'm confident or not, but after being praised like that by Brother Yun, I'm in a much better mood."

"Alright, as long as you're happy."

Jiang Yun smiled: "Any other questions? If not, I'm moving on to the next caller."

"Nope~ Thanks, Brother Yun~"

"No problem."
