Regarding Mu Yunchu’s answer, Jiang Ci was entirely unprepared for it.
His mouth was agape, completely forgetting about maintaining his image.
Even the netizens looked at him with skepticism.
[Handso guy, are you pretending to be poor here to test the strear?]
[Right, since the strear said so, you must be rich now.]
[Why don’t you ask your parents if they’re hiding the fact that you’re actually a second-generation rich kid?]
[I think that’s very possible.]
Although Jiang Ci repeatedly stated that he was really poor, and his parents were just an average working-class family, the netizens refused to believe him.
Because of the abilities Mu Yunchu had shown before, they were utterly convinced of this young girl’s fortune-telling talents.
Jiang Ci felt a wave of desperation.
It was the first ti he’d told others he was poor, and no one believed him.
Do you need proof to be poor these days?
Does he really have to show these strangers the last $3.22 in his bank account?
Jiang Ci: "..."
Fortunately, at this mont, Mu Yunchu changed the subject.
"How strange, how did your destiny beco like this?"
Jiang Ci: !!!
His heart skipped a beat.
A thought involuntarily popped into his mind:
If you have heart problems, you better not have your fortune told.
Jiang Ci nervously pursued, "Strear, what’s going on, what did you see?"
"Maybe just give it to straight."
Mu Yunchu looked up at Jiang Ci, her eyes seed to be shrouded in an impenetrable mist.
"I looked at your zodiac signs. Normally, you should be destined for great wealth and fortune. Although you were born into an average family, you should later, through your own efforts, live better than most people."
Of course, efforts vary significantly from person to person.
So people may never reach his level no matter how hard they try.
And Mu Yunchu could see that Jiang Ci wasn’t lying, so this combination was extrely odd.
"I won’t speak of other things, but it’s true that my family’s financial situation is average," Jiang Ci finally found sothing that aligned with her statents.
Otherwise, he’d have to consider if she was a fraud.
Mu Yunchu: "You’re the only child in your family, born in spring, your parents are just ordinary office workers who raised you. Your academic performances weren’t stellar, just average. The most special thing about you from childhood till now is your face."
"In my view, your life’s true path is to make a living online."
[Make a living online? What does that an?]
Mu Yunchu withdrew her gaze and blandly explained, "It ans anything that earns money online. Like becoming a celebrity, streaming, writing, and so on..."
Although it sounded quite broad, Jiang Ci’s expression beca extraordinarily trusting.
"This is indeed true!"
Jiang Ci seldom talked to others about this; mostly, he shared it with very close friends and family.
Especially after failing to break into livestreaming, he was even more embarrassed to tell others, fearing they’d laugh at him for being duped by fortune-telling.
So Mu Yunchu definitely didn’t hear this from anywhere.
"When I was little, there was a blind fortune-teller under the bridge," Jiang Ci recalled sothing and hurried to explain, "Of course, this is what my mom later told , I was only a few years old then, so I have no mory of it."
"He said I’d definitely make a living this way in the future, that not only would many people like , but I’d also make a lot of money."
Because of this, he decided not to find a job after graduating and beca a full-ti strear instead.
But he was brutally hit by reality.
If it weren’t for Mu Yunchu’s words today, he’d have given up on this idea.
[Um... maybe you misunderstood him, what if he ant you’d be a celebrity, not a strear?]
Jiang Ci: "..."
"Do you think I wouldn’t want that? Nobody likes even as a strear, who’d hire as a celebrity?"
These words truly sounded like a joke.
Besides, becoming a celebrity not only requires opportunity, but the bar is way higher than it is now.
[Then how long have you been streaming, maybe you just haven’t started quite yet.]
[The sister above, I just checked his profile, and to my utter surprise, he’s been streaming for over half a year already.]
While it’s true that streaming requires ti to build an audience, you can usually tell if soone is cut out for it right from the start.
For instance, Mu Yunchu only stread three tis, and now every session has over ten thousand viewers.
Even if it doesn’t go well, other new strears have at least five or six hundred.
But Jiang Ci’s live-stream room only had dozens of viewers, and hardly ever a hundred, even compared to purely shopping-focused streams.
[Then let’s think in a different direction, maybe there’s an issue with your streaming content. I noticed you’ve been playing gas a lot lately, isn’t that wasting your face?]
Jiang Ci’s expression grew even grimr.
"I don’t mind telling you, I’ve tried every type of stream."
If he could tell fortunes, he’d want to try Mu Yunchu’s streaming style too.
When he decided to stream after graduation, he was full of enthusiasm.
That’s when he t his current roommate, and they both had a great interest in streaming.
So they rented a place together.
Because this way, they could share the rent without disturbing each other’s rest.
Both of them slept late into the night, so there was no such thing as disturbances.
At first, Jiang Ci lived in the bedroom.
"Oh right, I can’t say it’s never been good."
"The first week of streaming, I basically had two to three thousand viewers each ti."
At that ti, he really thought he was going to be famous just like that.
Because few new strears could reach that level of traffic.
But after a week, for so unknown reason, his viewership started to plumt.
Initially, he thought it was a network issue, or maybe his performances weren’t retaining people, so he transitioned from singing to dancing.
But the results were the sa.
Later, he tried cooking shows, storytelling, any type you could think of until he eventually switched to gaming.
During ga streams, his face also appeared in the bottom left corner via a split screen, so it actually wasn’t much different.
[This is strange, I watched so videos posted before by the serendipitous encounter. His gaming skill is among the top on the entire platform, with impressive skills, awareness, and positioning.]
[Plus, he has a pleasant voice and good looks. If I’d stumbled across this stream earlier, I’d have followed it imdiately.]
The more they talked, the more Jiang Ci felt an ache in his heart.
But actually gaining so acknowledgnt provided a little solace to his feeling of desolation.
"Thank you for your comfort, maybe... it’s just not the right path for ."
As so netizen said before, he had probably chosen the wrong path.
And then, Mu Yunchu suddenly thought of sothing.
"I know the reason."
"Huh?" Jiang Ci’s thought process didn’t follow, "What reason?"
"The reason why your destiny is so misaligned with reality."
Jiang Ci: ???
Mu Yunchu spoke with a low, intensely solemn tone that seeped with coldness, "Soone has taken your luck."
Jiang Ci: !!!
