156: Oh no, the streamer has been targeted by his uncle!
A self-made stationery gun?
Isn't that an idea I just came up with a few days ago? How could it be copied so quickly? In this day and age, if you don't apply for copyright and patents, they'll be stolen in minutes.
While surprised, Su Yu quickly clicked on the search page to check.
Because it was a trending news story, the search page displayed many video recommendations on the same topic.
Su Yu randomly picked one and clicked on it.
This was a video of the gangster climbing over the wall, filmed from a different angle.
Su Yu subconsciously zoomed in on the screen, wanting to see the gangster's face, but he didn't see the face. Instead, he suddenly realized that the school fence the gangster was climbing over looked very familiar.
The dilapidated railing seemed familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Su Yu squinted his eyes, thinking hard.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
Holy crap! Isn't this No. 2 Primary School, where I just set up a stall yesterday?
The familiar brickwork and the pattern on the iron railing aren't just similar; they're identical!
I only just slept, right? How could something like this happen outside No. 2 Primary School? It's outrageous!
Su Yu was very glad that he only set up his stall after school in the afternoon, and not during the day. Otherwise, if he really encountered an armed gangster, he would probably only be able to shoot him with an assembled stationery gun, just like the Little Brother in the news report.
Wait... also shoot him with a stationery gun!
Did I just say 'also'?! Strange, why would I say 'also'?!
After a moment of stunned silence, Su Yu realized.
No, I didn't see wrong, did I? A stationery gun!?
The gangster was ultimately subdued by a stationery gun!?!
I only sold one set of stationery yesterday, so why did the Little Brother use a stationery gun at this particular moment?
Cold sweat instantly broke out on Su Yu's back.
The same location, the same stationery gun, the protagonist being a Little Brother—these key clues linked together, and the truth was almost self-evident.
Although he already had a judgment in his mind, Su Yu still found it hard to believe. So, he went to browse several other very popular videos online.
One of the videos happened to capture the Little Brother aiming the stationery gun in his hand at the gangster at the crucial final moment.
And when that familiar stationery gun and familiar Little Brother appeared in the video, the heart that Su Yu had been holding in suspense finally completely died at that moment.
As expected, it was indeed the pen-modified gun he produced.
No, it should be the stationery set he produced!
What he sold at the street stall outside the school was all stationery, which had nothing to do with weapons! Speaking of which, he sounded like an arms dealer.
Su Yu carefully browsed the news about the campus armed attack for a while longer, and soon, he realized a very serious matter.
As soon as the news report came out, the pen-modified stationery gun, without surprise, became the most curious item for the vast number of netizens.
Netizens were curious, and the police were even more curious!
A weapon of such considerable power and astonishing lethality appearing near a school. If he were a police officer, he would probably also be on edge, and would certainly have to find the source of its manufacture.
Su Yu didn't expect the Little Brother to help him hide all of this, and besides, even if he wanted to hide it, it would be impossible.
Even if a fifth-grade elementary student was exceptionally gifted, he couldn't possibly mold various pen parts himself, and furthermore, many of the buckles couldn't be designed by a child at all.
As long as the investigators had some brains, they would definitely guess that someone else was probably behind the production of the pen-modified gun.
It seems I can't set up my stall today!
Su Yu shook his head in annoyance.
If he had known something like this would happen, he shouldn't have easily agreed to sell that stationery set to the Little Brother yesterday.
Now, he's picked up a sesame seed and lost a watermelon.
He has so much inventory piled up, but no way to sell it.
Su Yu believed that if he dared to act against the wind at this moment, he would probably be caught by the uncles in minutes.
But the problem was that yesterday he had promised and bet with the audience in his live stream that if he didn't sell ten sets today, he would give away all the stationery sets as a lottery on the spot.
What to do?
Should I just give away the rest in the live stream?
Live streaming and setting up a stall, I have to take care of one of them. Giving them away in the live stream can still provide a benefit to the audience and fans, doing them a favor.
Thinking of this, Su Yu had already made a decision.
Start streaming, start streaming!
First, get rid of the goods. As for the rest, we'll talk about it later... Half an hour later.
Su Yu started his live stream on time.
However, today's broadcast was a little different from usual.
Before, Su Yu's first goal when starting a broadcast was always to figure out how to complete his tasks. But today there was no task, and he just purely wanted to complain to the audience in the live stream.
"Brothers, it's over, it's all over! I probably can't fulfill what I promised you yesterday."
After starting the broadcast, Su Yu cried and showed a wronged expression.
The audience who had just entered the live stream were also confused.
"What's wrong with the Streamer? What's going on today? Why is he complaining as soon as he comes in?"
"Huh? He's streaming at this time. Isn't today Friday? Are the Little bros getting out of school so early?"
"It shouldn't be. School on Friday usually ends at 3 PM, and it's just past noon now. The Streamer started streaming so early? Abnormal! It's too abnormal."
"The Streamer just said it's over. What's over?"
Su Yu watched as fans poured in, and he pointed to the stationery sets piled in his backpack.
"Didn't I promise you Brothers that I would continue to set up a stall today? But I just received bad news: No. 2 Primary School is closed today! Stalls are strictly prohibited outside the school!"
"I have a pile of goods here; I'm afraid I really can't sell them today."
The audience in the live stream were even more puzzled upon hearing this.
"Out of nowhere, why are stalls suddenly prohibited?"
"Exactly, exactly! Weren't there so many people outside the school gate yesterday?"
"I'm from Chongqing. I seem to have heard that some campus safety incident happened at No. 2 Primary School this morning? I'm not too clear on the specifics; I heard it from my friend."
"If you can't set up at No. 2 Primary School, there are other schools you can go to. It shouldn't have much impact, right?"
"Do you really think the Streamer can just set up a stall anywhere? First, let's not talk about whether the location is good or not. If you don't make arrangements in advance, you won't even have a spot to set up a stall outside an elementary school."
Seeing the fans discussing intensely, Su Yu shook his head and said, "Actually, none of these are the problem."
"The most crucial issue is that you might not know this. The Streamer is very likely already wanted city-wide by the uncles! It's not about where to set up a stall, but that the Streamer will be instantly caught as soon as he shows his face!"
