4: Chapter 4: Mission Accomplished, the Entire Internet Shocked

[Good Brother System adaptive task completed. Younger sister Xiaoyu's comprehension +0.25%, IQ +1, Memory +1!]

[Reward: 4,500 Yuan!]

As the light blue notification faded...

His phone vibrated. He pulled it out to see that 4,500 Yuan had been deposited into his account ending in 9527.

Jiang Zhe suppressed an excited smile. He had been worrying about tomorrow's work, yet in just half an hour, he had managed to reap four thousand five hundred bucks from his sister.

Looking at his sister's excited and pensive expression, he doted on her by patting her head.

"The tui bei tu indeed predicted the Great Qing, and with extreme accuracy, however..."

Jiang Zhe looked out the window. Many of the lights in the surrounding homes had been extinguished. He raised his hand to check his black wristwatch.

"It's ten-thirty. That's enough for today. You have school tomorrow, and I remember you have a history exam. Go to sleep early!"

After just a short while, Xiaoyu discovered that her brother had suddenly become much more knowledgeable!

Her brother in the past wasn't nearly as lively as he was today!

Her brother used to be very responsible and persistent, but today's brother made one feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze; the feeling was completely different!

"Thanks, Bro. You should go rest too. Stop going to wash dishes!"

"If I don't wash dishes, are you going to support me?" Just as he reached the door, Jiang Zhe looked back and teased.

Xiaoyu bit her lip. Seeing her brother's serious-looking face, she immediately hardened her heart and said, "I'll support you!"

"Silly girl!"

Jiang Zhe grinned and left without looking back, leaving behind one last sentence:

"Just focus on taking care of yourself!"

Watching him leave, Xiaoyu smiled. "I like today's brother!"

After seeing her brother off, she couldn't wait to grab her phone. Turning on the screen, she was shocked to find that the number of viewers in the livestream had surged to over ten thousand, and the screen was densely packed with comments.

"Xiaoyu, don't let your brother leave! Call him back. I'll tip a thousand yuan; I'll support him!"

"Don't go! He only talked for an hour and hasn't even covered the Great Qing yet. I'll support him too!"

"Right, right, right! I already took my pants off, and you tell me your brother is going to sleep? I'll freaking support him too!"

"Come back quickly! Do you have the heart to make the ten thousand brothers in your livestream watch you do that messy dancing? I'll support him!"

"..."

As the comments flooded in, an overwhelming wave of gifts washed over the screen like seawater.

Even if the individual amounts weren't large, they certainly added up to a significant sum!

"Ah?" Xiaoyu was both surprised and delighted. "Thank you, everyone. By the way, what's going on with you guys?"

"When I was dancing, there were only dozens of you."

"As soon as my brother started talking about Sinology, how did so many people suddenly flood in?"

Unexpectedly, the comments became even more turbulent!

"Don't. Your dancing isn't nearly as good-looking as your brother—wait, I mean his lecture was both good to look at and good to hear!"

"I admit I originally came in to watch you dance, but your brother's content attracted me even more!"

"Sorry, Xiaoyu, don't dance anymore. I'm afraid your brother will misunderstand. I love knowledge, and knowledge loves me!"

"In the end, my feelings for you all were misplaced!" Looking at her defecting fans, Xiaoyu felt like crying without tears. "Not happy!"

However, when she opened the backend and saw that the gift share had reached over four thousand yuan, her expression changed instantly. "Hehe!"

Half an hour later, after stabilizing the new viewers in the livestream, she prepared to end the broadcast.

Suddenly, she received a message from Operator Wang of the Dougou Platform in the backend.

"Hello, Dougou Platform is interested in signing a long-term contract with you. An electronic contract has been sent. The revenue split is 30/70."

Xiaoyu took one look, snorted coldly, and swiped it away on the spot. "Not even a dog would sign that!"

She knew that if her brother continued lecturing, the traffic would definitely increase. A 30/70 split? Even a dog would shake its head at that!

This 30/70 split was simply an insult to her brother's efforts. It wasn't like she had to stream on Dougou!

...

After returning to his room, Jiang Zhe happily looked at the 4,500 yuan deposit.

He tried to withdraw it to his Alipay and found that it actually worked. His whole face lit up with a smile.

Others might only earn four or five thousand after a month of hard work, yet he had earned four thousand five hundred in just one hour simply by telling his sister a bedtime story.

"It's not enough. I'm still far from retirement!"

"Should I find a few more 'god-sisters' and gather them together to forcibly... give them lessons?"

"Making hundreds of thousands a day, or even a million, seems possible?"

[Exploiting bugs is prohibited. This constitutes illegal fundraising!]

"Fine, I get it!"

In his past life, he might have died from overwork before transmigrating to this world. In this life, he swore that if he could lie flat, he would absolutely never work!!!

Soon, he happily drifted off to sleep.

While he was asleep...

Clips of Jiang Xiaoyu's livestream were edited by some self-media bloggers and posted on platforms like Dougu, Kuaijiao, and Weibo, but very few became popular.

Meanwhile, on the largest domestic history forum...

A thread titled: "Shocking! Mysterious expert appears in livestream to explain the 32nd hexagram of tui bei tu online! Early Tang's Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang predicted the endgame of the late Ming!"

Once the post was made, the number of comments instantly surged by the hundreds and thousands.

The first floor was the original poster's pinned video post, which contained the entire content of Jiang Zhe's livestream, with a comment:

"The single word 'Chuang' (Dash) directly points to Li Zicheng coming from the west, identifying the Chuang King's Shaanxi peasant army... Truly, as a history student, I'm stunned."

"I have a physical copy at home. I checked it, and I'm thunderstruck. The hexagrams for Li Zicheng and Yang Sichang are a perfect match!"

"I don't believe it. It's a show, right? That girl Xiaoyu probably hired him to put on a show for traffic, right?"

[OP's Reply]: "It's not a show. Who would abandon ten thousand viewers if they were just putting on a show? If his brother were acting, wouldn't they keep raking in the money?"

"This Xiaoyu's brother has some real skill. As a history graduate, my speaking ability and flow aren't even as good as his."

"Why was it only secretly streamed for less than an hour? What about the predictions for the Great Qing?"

"I also have a tui bei tu. I found the hexagram for the Great Qing, but... I really don't understand how to interpret it!"

Many people had copies of the tui bei tu, but interpreting it themselves was nowhere near as brilliant as Jiang Zhe's explanation!

Unintentionally, this discussion thread added another layer to Jiang Zhe's popularity.

...

Not only that, but on some short video platforms with high traffic...

While not explosively popular, it still garnered over a hundred thousand views.

A video titled: "A mysterious person brings the tui bei tu to life. The tui bei tu isn't just cryptic nonsense; it's a prediction of China's end. Come debate if you disagree!"

The video's script, editing, and sense of suspense were all top-tier.

Especially when Jiang Zhe spoke about 'Chuang', it gave many viewers sudden goosebumps.

By the time the interpretation of 'Sun and Moon lose their light' was finished, the expressions of the viewers in front of their screens were one of utter shock!

"Holy crap, I'm kneeling. I never thought it could be explained like this!"

"Man, why is he the first one to explain it this way? Were the history professors in the past just useless?"

"My former Sinology teacher explained it like this: 'The author is just describing the darkness of society and the lack of hope for the common people.' I didn't expect Xiaoyu's brother to come along and blow my mind!"

"When is the next session on the Great Qing's prediction?"

"Tomorrow night!"
