Chapter 9: Lead Us to Sudden Wealth!

- [I only ever saw stuff like this in TV dramas. Are you telling me this is actually real now?]
- [It’s monstrous, absolutely monstrous. The streamer shouldn't have saved him.]
- [Still, making that man bleed money to ensure the other party's ashes were properly laid to rest—that’s good enough.]
- [It’s terrifying. I just heard Feather say that girl’s name was Zhaodi...]

Jiang Muyu tugged at her clothes and comforted them, "Don't worry, my little darlings. There's nothing to be afraid of. Little Feather will protect you, mwah, mwah, mwah~~~"

As she spoke, she blew a long string of flying kisses toward the screen.

I have to say, now that she was getting the hang of it, this gesture felt quite natural. Once she finished the stream, she’d practice more; she would definitely be able to match the original owner perfectly!

"Alright, my loves, it’s still early. Does anyone want a reading? Don't just think about it, take action! It only costs one Carnival~"

Jiang Muyu looked at the screen with anticipation, praying for some luck.

Silence followed. Only a few scattered little hearts appeared, not even enough to buy a pack of spicy strips.

"Are there really no bosses who want a reading? Little Feather is still here waiting for you~ Does no one want to help Little Feather hit today's goal?"

She thought to herself that money was getting harder and harder to earn these days. Thinking back to when she was younger, whoever came to beg her for a fortune-telling session would bring bags and bags of gifts. Now, she had lowered her prices so much, and still, nobody came.

- [Little Feather, I want a reading, but I don't have the funds.]
- [What is she mumbling? I want a kiss.]
- [Streamer, you're too young. You don't look like someone who can tell fortunes. Look at other channels; those people look like ethereal immortals.]

Jiang Muyu: "..."

She was a few hundred years old and was still being called too young.

"Don't judge a book by its cover, everyone. Your streamer really has some skills."

['Egg Yolk' sent Carnival x1]

Jiang Muyu pointed at the screen, "Look! See? Someone trusts your streamer! Thank you for the trust, Egg Yolk! You can apply for a connection now!"

Egg Yolk: [Here I come!]

Soon, the screen split in two, and two boys appeared in the frame.

"Hello, hello! Hi, Little Feather."

"Hello to all the brothers and beauties in the chat! We successfully connected to the streamer!"

Jiang Muyu looked at one of them and asked, "Hello, Egg Yolk, what would you like to have read?"

The two men exchanged a glance, looked at the screen, and said in unison, "Streamer, see if you can tell which one of us is the real 'Egg Yolk'. Let’s see if you can guess right first."

- [Huh? There’s a game like this?]
- [Enough, the streamer isn't your toy! Just say what you want to have read!]
- [I think it’s the guy in the yellow t-shirt; the color scheme is more like an egg yolk.]
- [It’s the one in black. I think his demeanor is more natural.]
- [Little Feather has to guess this too?]

Jiang Muyu laughed and said, "That’s very simple. The baby in the black shirt, you’re holding the phone and your expression looks quite confident, but you aren't him."

"The baby in the yellow shirt is the real 'Egg Yolk'. Did I guess right?"

The two on the screen gave a thumbs up, "You guessed right! Little Feather, you really are amazing!"

The one in yellow introduced himself, "Hello to all the beauties in the chat, my name is He Dankang, and this is my brother Xiao Xu. We’re both from a nearby school. If any beauties want to get to know us, feel free to send us a private message!"

- [What’s so amazing about that? Didn’t the streamer just secretly check their profile page?]
- [What do you mean by that? Little Feather didn't even touch her phone, okay?]

He Dankang took his phone back and showed what was behind them, "Little Feather, we came out to eat, and guess what! A lottery shop! We just gifted you a Carnival; can you help us win our money back?"

His companion, Xiao Xu, leaned in and added, "Actually, we’ve never scratched lottery tickets before. We really want to try this time. Even if we don’t hit the jackpot, a small prize would be fine!"

Their eyes were shining with excitement; they were eager to try. If Jiang Muyu nodded, they would rush in right now.

- [Hahahaha, no way? This works too?]
- [Live lottery scratching! Streamer, it’s time to show your skills. If they actually win, I’ll gift you a Porsche!]
- [I’m in on that, brother.]
- [I spent five hundred last time and didn't even get a hundred back. Never gambling again.]

Jiang Muyu thought for a moment and said, "I can do that, but this world values the balance of Yin and Yang, of cause and effect. If you win a big prize today, there’s a chance you’ll have bad luck for a while. Are you willing to take that risk?"

Hearing this, the two boys in the camera paused.

Xiao Xu laughed and said, "Little Feather, stop joking. How could it be that serious? Saying that, you probably just can't predict it, right?"

He Dankang followed up, "Exactly. I’ve seen people who win big prizes live better and better lives. None of them seem to have bad luck."

It is hard to save those who are determined to court death.

Jiang Muyu said no more and asked, "So, have you two made up your minds? If you have, you can go in."

The two looked at each other and walked into the shop without hesitation.

"Brothers, take a gamble! Turn your bicycle into a motorcycle. Maybe after tonight, we’ll be rich overnight!"

The camera shook, making it hard to see their faces, but their tone revealed their inner excitement.

- [What did Little Feather mean just now? Why do I feel like something is wrong?]
- [Bro, maybe just forget it...]
- [I don't believe this streamer is that accurate. Let’s see what they can scratch out!]

He Dankang and Xiao Xu had already walked into the lottery shop. Seeing the winning photos posted on the wall, their heart rates spiked.

"Little Feather, which ones should we buy?"

He flipped the camera to point at the colorful array of lottery tickets on the counter.

Jiang Muyu said, "The third one in the first row, the one with the lotus pattern—buy the fifth ticket. The first one in the second row, the one with the soccer ball—the tenth ticket. And the bottom row, the very last one—buy the top ten tickets."

As soon as she finished speaking, they immediately called the shopkeeper over.

"Quick, this fifth one, and this one, and that one!"

Even through the screen, one could hear the urgency in their voices.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, caught sight of the phone in their hands, and smiled, "Well, look at you two, live-streaming while scratching tickets?"

He Dankang snatched up all the tickets and had Xiao Xu pay for them.

"Boss, you’re going to witness history today. Soon, our photos will be up on that wall too!"

The shopkeeper chuckled, "Well then, good luck to you both."

Jiang Muyu confirmed one last time, "Are you sure you really want to scratch them?"
