These days, An Rugu has picked out some suitable dream commissions and taken them on, ranking among the top ten in terms of the number of tasks she has accepted. The dreams she handled were very stable and long-lasting, with a 100% positive feedback rate.
The family members later came to her to thank her and ask how to make their loved ones’ lives in the Underworld better.
The sales of joss paper from Cloud Rise Temple have reached new heights.
After chatting with the family members, she returned to her computer desk and opened the livestreaming software.
As soon as the livestream opened, tens of thousands of viewers flooded in, instantly reaching the million-level popularity and topping the Shark’s charts for the same time slot, and it was still growing rapidly.
[It’s so exciting outside! All the major platforms are completely dominated by the streamer, and Shark platform is making a killing.]
[Nonsense. Snowflake and Sky Live have been making sarcastic remarks on Weibo, saying that Shark Platform’s benefits are mediocre, and that the streamer would receive the best treatment if she came to their platform. But then Shark Platform came out to testify that due to the special nature of the livestreaming channel, their commission on gifts was almost zero1. I heard a rumor that taking too much commission is considered unlucky, so they can only take so much. Shark Platform is clearly pitiful.]
[What a load of rubbish! I never watch livestreams, I only downloaded Shark because of the streamer. I just checked the app store data, and downloads have increased fiftyfold since the Underworld livestream started. Traffic is king, they’re making a killing.]
[Anyone else want to watch the third episode of the Underworld livestream? I haven’t seen what Meng Po, Hei Wuchang, or Lord Yama look like yet.]
[You are not alone. My friend passed away two years ago. I burned some merchandise for him. Will he receive it?]

After the Underworld livestream, the already ridiculously high popularity of the livestream channel exploded again. In a short period of time, the number of viewers exceeded 100 million.
Many people couldn’t message the streamer, so they could only ask questions in the livestream and hope she saw them.
An Rugu glanced at the comments. “The Underworld livestream is an irregular addition to this channel; I’ll let you know when it will happen again.
“When you’re burning the joss paper you bought for your friend, thinking of them while you burn them can increase the chances of them receiving the gift.”
After she finished speaking, she said no more. “The lottery channel is now open. Anyone who wants to ask me for divination can click to enter the lottery. Those who are destined to meet with me will naturally win.”
Before long, the names of three lucky people emerged.
In other live streams, viewers who didn’t win a prize always sighed and complained, making sarcastic remarks about the lucky winners. But in An Rugu’s live stream, the atmosphere was filled with joy.
[I didn’t win the prize, hehehe, today is a lucky day.]
[Come, everyone, let’s welcome our first unlucky person!]
[Welcome to our first unlucky victim!]
The ID of the first person was: <I don’t want to be a girl>.
After communicating with her, An Rugu dialed the number. The call was quickly answered, and a woman in her twenties came into view.
She sat in front of the computer, with long black hair, fair skin, and delicate features, and what was special was that she appeared on camera without makeup.
She looked distressed, constantly scratching her hair until it was a mess, completely unconcerned about her appearance, as if she had encountered something annoying. The gloomy atmosphere around her almost solidified into a tangible form.
Many viewers became excited upon seeing that the destined person was a lovely young woman. A number of ‘high-quality’ men confidently began seeking a mate.
Those who saw these comments were not happy at all; instead, they were furious: “If you say one more word, I’m going to get angry. You are the young lady, your whole family are young ladies.”
Audience:”???”
[You get criticized for praising someone now? It seems like the destined person has a slightly lower level of manners.]
[What else could you be but a girl? Are you a cross-dresser then?]
[She doesn’t look like a man at all. I suspect it’s gender dysphoria; she’s clearly a girl, but her mental identity is that of a boy.]
The destined person was in a state of confusion and didn’t know how to explain it, so she simply picked up a lighter, took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and prepared to light it.
Her posture was very practiced, which showed that she was a frequent smoker.
However, before she could even light the cigarette, An Rugu’s cold voice came through the microphone. “Don’t smoke in my live stream.”
Livestreaming platforms have many minors watching. In order not to set a bad example, the platforms stipulated that smoking was not allowed during livestreams, otherwise the streamer would be banned.
The destined person paused because she still wanted to ask for a favor and couldn’t refuse. Reluctantly, she took the cigarette out of their mouth and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, I won’t smoke anymore.”
“Please pay the divination fee, and a high-energy gun salute.”
“Okay, here you go.”
[This girl’s mannerisms and movements are so cool and confident, she exudes a powerful and stylish vibe.]
[Plus one, she’s so graceful in every gesture, a bit like my brother.]
An Rugu exchanged a glance with her and said quietly, “If you have something troubling you, you might as well tell me directly. That way, I’ll have a direction when I do the divination, and it will be easier for me to do it.”

T/N: I missed yesterday’s post (I was offline all day). Instead of posting two chapters today to make up for it, I’ll just post one on Monday (this story’s usual rest day) and we’ll still be back on schedule.

- This is new information. I even pointed out before that An Rugu—who was very careful in handling divination fees lest she receive backlash from revealing fate—seemed to not care about the owner of Shark streaming platform, which receives a cut of the divination fee. ↩︎
