48: Chapter 48: Reward Settlement, More and More Disruptions

"Xiao Yu, in front of the akashic records."

"We humans have never truly made an effort!"

"Our so-called hard work might just be us constantly adjusting ourselves so that we can more clearly receive a single clear drop of water from the vast torrent of information in the starry sky!"

"..."

After speaking, Jiang Zhe turned and left without hesitation.

Xiao Yu fell into deep thought!

Inside the livestream room, an explosion of activity occurred after it ended!

"Sexy streamer's brother, denying online that you've ever worked hard!"

"Damn it, I failed my postgraduate entrance exam four times, and now your brother tells me my brain's antenna has a bad connection and can't receive information from the akashic records?"

"I can't hold it together anymore. This is even harsher than calling me lazy!"

"I'm still more curious, will that hotel explosion tomorrow noon actually come true?"

"Impossible. I have relatives staying there tonight. I'm super filial, so I won't call to notify my relatives!"

"Upstairs, you're very brave!"

"Nonsense, I'm super brave. Vicious relatives, no need to notify them anyway, it won't come true!"

...

Inside the university faculty housing.

Professor Chen Runzhi, Qian Mingyi, and Professor Wang Shouren, the three professors looked at each other.

The living room was so quiet that one could hear breathing.

After a long while, Old Chen sighed and took off his reading glasses,

"Humans have never truly made an effort."

"Our resistance, our struggles, our complaints, our everything..."

"Those don't seem to be our efforts, but rather [letting nature take its course]!"

"Oh my!"

Old Chen stood up, stretched, and said, "Young people these days are truly incredible!"

Old Qian looked at the thousands of lights outside the window, set against the deep night.

He couldn't help but ponder:

"Perhaps it's that we think we have worked hard, but in reality, we haven't."

"Sigh!" Professor Wang Shouren said with a regretful face, "Sigh, next time I must not be late for Xiaoyu's brother's livestream."

...

Inside the Chinese-style villa.

The atmosphere here was equally serious.

After a long while, Third Junior Sister looked worried, "If this statement spreads, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse, or..."

Wang Chongyang closed his eyes and said nothing.

Tonight's content was a huge blow to him!

He didn't expect a young man to have such insights!

It's no exaggeration to say that none of his three PhD-holding direct disciples could compare to Xiaoyu's brother.

The Second Senior Brother saw that the atmosphere was off, immediately turned off the projector, and said with a resentful face:

"What 'never truly made an effort', it's just mystifying!"

"In a dozen or so hours, we'll know if that hotel in Shanghai will actually catch fire!"

"If it happens, I'll admit his fortune-telling level is strong!"

"If it doesn't happen, I will surely ruin his reputation!"

Wang Chongyang couldn't help but look at the second one:

"Number Two, do you have some deep grudge against him?"

"Is your Dao heart still intact?"

After these words, the Second Senior Brother was stunned, then snorted and left.

Of course he wouldn't admit it!

Clearly he was capable too, why wasn't he as popular as Jiang Zhe!

...

Dougou Platform operations department.

It was a scene of jubilation here!

"Hahaha, Brother Wang, as expected of Jiang Zhe, he successfully made the niche Sinology section break the 1.5 million record!"

"And the total amount of tips exceeded top-tier streamers, breaking 500,000 yuan!!"

"Congratulations, Brother Wang, one step closer to promotion!"

Operator Wang looked at the brothers who kept coming to celebrate.

He glanced at the backend data again, clenched his fist hard, and the excitement on his face couldn't be suppressed at all!

"It exploded!"

"It completely exploded. Contact the operations department immediately and push today's clips with full force!"

"Also, warm up the prediction about whether the [Jingxuange International Hotel] will catch fire tomorrow!"

"Yes, leave it to us!" xN

...

Inside the master bedroom.

Jiang Zhe lay on the bed, looking at the pale blue reward panel appearing before him.

[This tutoring session, Xiao Yu's math comprehension +3.27%, IQ +4, Epiphany x1!]

[Reward: Money +108,000]

[Reward 2: Free Attribute Points +4]

"So much money?"

"It's equivalent to an ordinary person's annual income."

"It seems I need to let Xiao Yu have more epiphanies in the future, then I can buy a house and a car."

"Like 'B-Theory of Time', 'Simulation Hypothesis', 'Eternal Observer', 'Ontology', 'You Are Not a Biological Being, But a Mathematical Structure'"

"'Solipsism', 'Cosmic Projection'..."

"Xiao Yu, get ready to accept the devastation from your big brother!!!"

He looked in the direction of the master bedroom, his lips curling involuntarily.

Soon, he distributed the 4 attribute points evenly and felt a warm current.

The feeling of fatigue and exhaustion suddenly disappeared.

The reward money was increasing, and the attribute points were also increasing.

He was afraid of actually turning into a little superman and then being wanted by the authorities.

He quickly lifted his clothes to check, fortunately, his physique hadn't changed much.

Only then did he lie down to sleep in peace!

...

The night was already deep.

The internet was completely blown up because of the bombshell Jiang Zhe threw!

His predictions, the akashic records, and even the debunking of the grandfather paradox and human inspiration...

All under the control of Operator Wang, precisely captured the traffic.

Bundling a series of key revelations with the [Jingxuange International Hotel fire] prediction.

Creating various video clips, copywriting reports, and flooding them everywhere.

The comment section completely turned into a battlefield of philosophy and logic debates.

"I watched it, it's just thorough nihilism; he is stifling the value of human effort."

"I don't think it's nihilism, because I watched the previous livestreams, he is really professional!"

"Professional? Just an expert, right? What good words can come out of an expert's mouth? Have they ever been right?"

"Unbelievable, if what he said is right, our inspiration, creativity, and predictions are just reading the akashic records, then are we humans just an [antenna] with subjective initiative...?"

"Don't discuss these anymore, I think, therefore I am!"

"Waiting for the Jingxuange International Hotel fire at noon to see if it comes true. If it doesn't catch fire, this charlatan can wait to go to jail!"

"Someone dug up specific information—information about Xiaoyu's brother and her; Xiao Yu is in the second year of high school, her brother dropped out in the second year of high school—to support Xiao Yu's schooling, but Xiaoyu's brother had very good grades; later because their parents passed away... he resolutely stood up to raise Xiao Yu; I can only say, this Xiaoyu's brother was a genius-level student before, he understood it at a glance, learned it as soon as he studied; I don't know why he stopped studying."

"Holy cow? He is a genius, and also a good brother?"

"Damn, I envy Xiao Yu for having such a brother!"

"..."

In Shanghai, in a cheap little room.

Veteran netizen Lu Renjia is a typical night owl.

He was scrolling through the webpage for pushes about Xiaoyu's brother—

From the initial tui bei tu revelation, to the akashic records...

And finally that earth-shattering hotel prediction!

He repeatedly scrolled through dozens of Jiang Zhe's video analyses, the more he listened, the more his scalp tingled.

If it were someone else saying this, he wouldn't be so serious.

The key is that since Jiang Zhe was forced to debut, he is the only one, and the internet is flooded with his information.

And his expression and tone when predicting the fire, this is not a person who loves to show off at all!

After watching everything, Lu Renjia felt a chill rush through his whole body!

"This is not a show, not nonsense!"

He gasped, his scalp tingling.

And he has always believed in the principle of 'better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't'.

After struggling for a while, he found the front desk phone number of the Jingxuange International Hotel and dialed it.

It rang for a long time before it was picked up, and he could still hear some foreigners communicating in English checking in.

"Hello, Jingxuange International Hotel."

The front desk's voice sounded a bit tired.
