CHAPTER 443: CHAPTER 443

The surroundings were serene.

Ji You stared at the workbench, with 7 pink companion stone low-level soul artifacts and 2 mithril Mid-level Soul Devices laid out, her eyes and brows brimming with laughter!

These, they were all money! Money! Money!

It was unbelievable to say out loud! She alone, in one night, had crafted 9 soul devices!

of them!

of them!

Ji You, staying in her dorm room, was casually crossing her legs in an ungraceful pose, almost desperate to rush out and tell everyone that there was a soul device big shot here! Everyone, hurry up and embrace the opportunity!

Thinking of the news getting out and possibly being overwhelmed by fans, she couldn’t help but laugh.

However—

Such a scene of being admired by countless people was better off just imagined. Ji You felt that as a person, it was better to keep a low profile, or else being too loved could become a nuisance!

...

The new soul devices, how should she handle them?

Without a doubt, they were definitely meant to be sold. How to sell? At what price? Having learned a lesson from a previous loss, Ji You dared not recklessly post them online.

After giving it some thought, Ji You decided to contact her teacher Cheng Yu to help estimate a price before selling them.

Thinking of this, Ji You sent an email to Cheng Yu, and while waiting for a reply, she stared at the two mithril ring soul devices, suddenly feeling a bit troubled.

One of them was meant as a gift for Senior Shi Ya.

What about the other? Sell it or keep it?

These two soul devices looked exactly the same in style, the carvings and Array Diagrams inside were identical – just like best friends’ matching items!

No!

Sisters’ matching items!

If she sold one, she wouldn’t know who would buy it back later. Ji You felt strangely as if she had done something cruel by forcibly separating them.

Thinking of this, Ji You felt even less inclined to part with them!

Senior Shi Ya was like a long-lost ’sister’ she had yet to officially recognize!

These sister-themed soul devices absolutely could not be separated!

So—

She couldn’t sell it!

Then—should she wear one herself?

Thinking of the image of her and Senior Shi Ya wearing matching ’jewelry’, Ji You hehe chuckled.

That settled it.

Hence, Ji You found a braided cord, quickly wove a lanyard, threaded the ring onto it, and hung it around her neck.

Then, she covered it with her collar, making it barely visible to others. But no one would expect that the worthless-looking lanyard was hanging a valuable Mid-level Soul Device!

Hahaha...

Ji You thought, if Sheng Qingyan ever called her a poor dead again, she would immediately show off her soul device! That would surely scare him to death!

Meanwhile—

The popular streamer ’Ah Da takes you treasure hunting,’ also known as Cheng Yu, was currently streaming on Star Network. He was explaining a beautifully carved jade gourd ornament: "This piece of art..."

Audience A: "Ah Da, nothing you’ve introduced lately has been impressive! Keep this up, and you’ll lose me!"

Audience B: "Exactly! If you keep brushing things off like this, I won’t watch your stream anymore."

Audience C: "Ah Da, what have you been up to lately? It’s okay to be off fishing for three days and drying the nets for two, but you never manage to find good stuff, just artwork, always artwork, which is utterly useless! Keep this up, and I won’t watch anymore."

Audience D: "Ah Da! Goodbye!"

...

Cheng Yu listened to the complaints of the audience in his live streaming room, his face turned bitter, and he started complaining, "In the past, you called me Little Sweetie when I watched the stars and moon! Now— you bunch of scum men and women! Go away! Just go away!"

"Goodbye!"

He waved his hand grandly, actually feeling a bit nervous, but he had been squatting outside the Green Glaze Master’s shop every day, hoping the Master would send him a message, so Cheng Yu really had no mind to think about the content of his live streaming.

The audience is very sensitive, Cheng Yu was distracted, and the audience immediately sensed it and started to get into a quarrel with Cheng Yu—

Who knew Ah Da would be this stubborn? Dismissing his own audience just like that?

Many hot-tempered audience members immediately cursed: "Good for you, Ah Da! Goodbye then!"

"Goodbye!"

"Never see you again!"

...

Cheng Yu: "..."

Cheng Yu almost spat out blood: "Hey! Iron buddies! Don’t go! I was just joking!"

Just... just a joke!

But, this joke, in the blink of an eye, took away more than half of his live streaming room, and then all these people flooded into his biggest competitor ’Brother Kun Takes You Shopping’!

This ’Brother Kun Takes You Shopping,’ is a recently popular professional bargain-hunting live streamer.

It’s unknown whether it’s really the opponent’s luck, or a well-planned strategy, but this Brother Kun, within less than half a month, became a sensation in the Star Network live streaming circle.

Who is this person?

Cheng Yu used his connections to check, but couldn’t find out... However, from the opponent’s repeated targeting of his actions, it seemed very likely it was his half-brother Cheng Kun.

Cheng Yu thought of this and his face turned dark instantly.

Had his ’Ah Da Takes You Shopping’ identity been exposed? How did Cheng Kun find out?

Just then, Cheng Yu suddenly heard a message alert, he opened it and his face turned even darker.

Cheng Kun: [Ah Da Takes You Shopping? I’ve always wondered how a poor village teacher like you could afford to hire Master Mickey Dodge to customize a Soul Device for you, turns out you’ve been cheating and scamming money through live streaming for years, tsk tsk!]

Cheng Yu’s face turned ashen, and his hands suddenly clenched.

Cheng Kun: [Your days of cheating and deceiving are over! Just stay forever in the Sixth Star System and be your village teacher!]

Cheng Yu clenched his teeth.

He didn’t reply immediately and had no intention to reply.

Cheng Yu admitted that his live streaming content was not entirely coincidental or random, many were pre-scouted and designed by the team he hired, but being accused by Cheng Kun of cheating and deceiving? Cheng Yu totally disagreed!

Although the content was pre-scouted and designed! But absolutely no faking! The shops and treasures he discovered and got were all real, found after spending a lot of manpower and resources!

How could it be cheating and deceiving?

Cheng Yu was furious!

The reason he got into live streaming shopping and bargain-hunting was also because his resources and connections were completely blocked by Cheng Kun, leaving him no other way out, and he was unwilling to let his spiritual power never improve. That’s why he thought of picking through the vast stores in Star Sea, hoping to get lucky and find a Soul Device suitable for enhancing his spiritual power.

However, over the years he didn’t find treasures but instead made quite a lot of money from live streaming, which became the major source of income for Cheng Yu after Cheng Kun blocked all his resources.

Now—

His double identity was exposed?

How was it exposed?

Cheng Yu frowned heavily, thinking over and over, feeling that the most likely possibility was still a leak from Mickey Ducky’s side. Initially, in order to meet Master Mickey Dodge, he had applied many times unsuccessfully and had to use all his available resources and connections before he was finally accepted—

Probably there was a problem in one of the processes.

Cheng Yu wasn’t regretting that his identity as a popular host could no longer be used, nor was he worried about losing this means of making money—

To put it bluntly, all he did was for the sake of enhancing his own spiritual power. As long as there were other ways to level up his Spiritual Level, whether it be the identity of a net celebrity or a money-making channel, he didn’t really care.

At this moment, when Cheng Yu was extremely anxious, suddenly there came another message alert.

At this time, it should still be Cheng Kun sending something to flaunt power, Cheng Kun this petty person, liked to show off when he was successful... Cheng Yu furrowed his brows, not checking it immediately.
