Suddenly, a fan typed, "I recommend an app to remove beauty filters, let's expose him!"
Lin Chen shrugged and said lightly, "Welcome, friends, to expose me."
"Little fresh meat, I see you're trying to stay calm!"
"I think so too."
"I'm going to expose him!"
Lin Chen had nothing to do, so he began to drink tea.
"Everyone, look! The young man is flustered and preparing a tea escape!"
"I think he's preparing a pee escape!"
"Don't get me wrong, my hands didn't even shake. My psychological resilience is pretty good."
Ten minutes later, the comments suddenly increased again, "No way, this guy is showing his real face? He's even better-looking than those guys over there using eighteen layers of filters!"
"I tried a software too, oh my god, I'm in love!"
"Could the software be fake?!"
"No, I just used the software. I usually watch another young, fresh-faced streamer, and I just threw up. He turned out to be a middle-aged, chubby uncle with a bulbous nose and a black face. Thinking about it makes me want to puke again."
"I gave him thousands of dollars worth of gifts!"
"I'm a victim too. The one I used to send gifts to, he had a face full of pimples, it disgusted me!"
The people behind him confirmed what the older woman had said earlier.
A fan typed, "Little Fresh Meat, why are you deliberately making yourself look ugly?"
"Well, this..." Lin Chen was thinking about how to explain.
The comments started flooding in.
"You're an idiot. Obviously, the young man doesn't want people to only focus on his looks."
"That's right, the young man is a fortune teller; he has skills."
"He could clearly rely on his looks, but he insists on working hard on his own. I love it, I love it!"
Lin Chen nodded helplessly. "Viewers are spot on, or rather, they're right. I just want to tell fortunes and promote Taoism, a tradition of Xia Country."
At this moment, thanks to the promotion by the aunties and older women, over a hundred people had flooded into the live stream.
"A handsome guy with ideals, I love it!"
"My best friend really didn't lie to me, there's a natural handsome guy here!"
"Handsome, name your price, and spend a month with me!"
"Little brother, come to Auntie, you can swipe my gold card as much as you want."
Lin Chen shook his head. "Viewers, I'm not selling myself. Those who want their fortunes told can come to me. It'll cost a Rocket worth six hundred. If it's not accurate, I'll give a full refund."
"Hmph, you actually rejected me. I don't believe your fortune-telling is that amazing."
"Young man, you haven't been beaten up by society enough!"
The aunties all criticized Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled and shrugged, "Everyone, is it not okay for me to want to be self-reliant?"
"Young man, a beautiful jade is a source of trouble. It's your fault for being so handsome."
"Alright, I'll have you calculate it today." One of the older women gave Lin Chen a small Rocket, being the first to try it.
Lin Chen tapped in the background and invited the older woman into video mode.
"Do you want to turn off the beauty filter and remove your makeup?" The woman, whose surname was Lin, was very straightforward.
"Divination is about the bone, not the skin; about the qi, not the form. As long as it's not too excessive, it's fine. Just turn off the beauty filter; you don't need to remove your makeup," Lin Chen said with a smile.
The comments started up again.
"Hey, this little Taoist is pretty professional."
"I wonder how his real skills are!"
"The person above me, I suspect you're being suggestive, but I have no proof..."
The Lin woman turned off her beauty filter. She was probably in her forties, but she was well-maintained and looked wealthy. Her office in the background was also very luxurious.
"Wow, rich lady, don't miss this opportunity for the young man to skip thirty years of hard work."
"Right, right, why be a Taoist?"
Lin Chen activated the Water Mirror Divination Technique, and he had seen most of the Lin woman's life.
"Water friends, your childhood was affluent, and you lived a happy life. Your parents doted on you."
The woman nodded, but she didn't take it to heart. After all, she was doing very well now; being wealthy as a child was highly likely.
Lin Chen continued, "However, during your university years, your parents passed away, and your family declined."
The woman's eyes widened, "How did you know?"
Lin Chen didn't answer her, instead continuing, "But you had good luck with romance. Later, you chose a husband with good family conditions, and you had a daughter who was quite cute."
"Master, you're a god!" the woman exclaimed in surprise.
"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last. Your husband also had an accident, leaving you and your daughter to depend on each other."
Lin Mei remembered the past, her eyes filled with tears. "The Taoist master is right."
"After that, you took your daughter and crossed the ocean to America, where you founded a trading company. The company flourished."
"That's right, that's right."
However, the netizens in the live stream didn't buy it.
"It can't be this accurate!"
"You guys wrote the script, didn't you?"
"It's all a scam, a scam."
"How much does this lady get paid to be a plant? If it's over two hundred, I'll go too. It's better than being a property plant."
Lin Mei, the older woman surnamed Lin, was furious. "I'm worth tens of millions, do I need to be a shill? My name is Lin Mei, if you don't believe me, look me up!"
"It's true, I looked it up, and the older woman is really rich."
"I saw it too, she has several companies under her."
"Little Taoist, did you say that after seeing information online?" Someone questioned, since science is always more believable than superstition, and it seemed everyone was looking for a scientific explanation.
