Speaking of Science in a Supernatural Livestream 9

Chapter 9: Poaching on a Livestream

Wen Ying was an artist under Deep Space Entertainment, a regular on White Whale Live. She scouted various livestreaming sections for streamers with good looks, recruiting new talent for Deep Space Entertainment. Because she was beautiful and articulate, and never engaged in hard-selling, many passersby also enjoyed watching her livestreams where she tried to win over pretty older and younger sisters.

And the streamer Wen Ying had her eyes on today was the ‘three-nos’ streamer Sang Jing, who had not yet signed with White Whale Live.

No contract meant fewer complications. Moreover, Sang Jing was beautiful, had strong mental fortitude, and her acting was very natural. Wen Ying was very satisfied.

She had watched the entire process of Sang Jing’s link-up with the previous netizen and, like some netizens in the bullet comments, thought it was a staged act by a team.

If she could poach Sang Jing, perhaps that assistant of hers could be poached along with her.

Wen Ying looked at the two faces on the screen, different in style yet surprisingly harmonious, and began to fantasize about how her boss would praise her.

Recruiting two such beautiful prospects for the company at once.

“Little sister, you’re so pretty. Why did you come to this section? Have you considered coming next door with me?” Wen Ying delivered her classic opening line.

On the other side of the screen, the dimples on Sang Jing’s cheeks were faintly visible. She pointed to her livestream title and chuckled lightly, “Want a reading?”

【Oh my, oh my, this little sister is so cute! Yingying has found a treasure today, quickly poach her!!】

【This little streamer only registered three days ago. Looks like Deep Space Entertainment is getting a new recruit.】

【In the past, some small streamers would be so excited they’d jump up and down when they linked with Yingying. Why is this streamer so calm?】

【Divination? Metaphysics livestream? My god, little sister, you’ve gone down the wrong path! With looks like these, why are you doing metaphysics? Hurry up and go with Sister Wen Ying to eat well and live well!】

【Oh my god, even Wen Ying is here, and the streamer is still fixated on divination. Could it be that her team’s background is even bigger than Deep Space Entertainment?】

Wen Ying glanced at the bullet comments, feeling even more confident. Today, this streamer and her assistant would both be hers for the taking!

“Alright, a reading it is.” Wen Ying had watched the livestream and knew how much the fee was.

With a swipe of her finger, she sent ten torpedoes on the spot.

“One is for the reading, and the other nine are a gift for you, little sister,” Wen Ying said with a smile. She was best at this kind of tactic, throwing money around.

Sang Jing frowned slightly and tapped her fingers on the table. “Send me your Bazi through a private message.”

Wen Ying was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. “Little sister, you don’t know me?”

Although she didn’t often appear on the big screen and didn’t have that many fans, those who frequently watched White Whale Live had more or less heard about her scouting people everywhere.

Sang Jing shook her head honestly. “I don’t.”

“Little sister, you can search for me. The information online is all real, and my birth date is in there too.” Wen Ying had a little scheme in mind by asking her to search. When Sang Jing searched for information, she would definitely see Deep Space Entertainment. Once she learned about Deep Space Entertainment, she was sure she would be tempted.

Sang Jing didn’t move and explained, “The Bazi is composed of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches corresponding to the year, month, day, and hour of birth. Each pillar contains one Heavenly Stem and one Earthly Branch, for a total of eight characters. Even public figures wouldn’t easily post their Bazi online. You should private message me.”

For some reason, Wen Ying felt that the person she had encountered today was not the easily coaxed little cake she had thought, but a sharp, hard bone.

Could it be, as the bullet comments said, that the team behind her had a bigger background than Deep Space Entertainment?

That couldn’t be possible. If she really had such a big background, why wouldn’t they push her into the entertainment industry to make money, instead of doing metaphysics livestreams here? Capitalists weren’t fools.

As her mind raced, she sent her Bazi over.

When Sang Jing saw the private message, she started with, “I’m two years older than you, so you shouldn’t call me little sister.”

Being called little sister by someone younger than her was strange.

Wen Ying looked at her in surprise.

Two years older? She had just celebrated her twenty-fourth birthday a couple of days ago. Sang Jing was twenty-six!?

【??? The streamer is twenty-six!?】

【Saying she’s two years older with a straight face is even cuter. Come, give me a kiss, muah muah muah.】

【You really believe everything she says? Can’t you see it’s a manufactured persona?】

【What’s wrong with a persona? So many people in the entertainment industry have personas, and I don’t see you guys complaining. Anyway, I love this baby girl.】

Xie Yu, who was idly playing with her hair, also looked at Sang Jing in surprise upon hearing her words.

Twenty-six? She doesn’t look it.

Although she didn’t remember her past life, the Bazi on the Wuchang warrant was indeed hers. Xie Yu began to calculate her own age.

By her calculation, Sang Jing was five years older than her.

Unwilling to accept this fact, Xie Yu focused her attention back on the livestream.

Sang Jing had the Bazi and asked, “What do you want to know?”

Wen Ying decided to go along with her for this reading first and then slowly try to poach her. “My fortune and misfortune for the next three years, can you read that?”

Her contract with Deep Space Entertainment was due to expire in three years. Although she knew that what Sang Jing said might not be true, sometimes people just wanted to hear what they wanted to know, especially about the unknown.

“I can.” Sang Jing glanced at the screen. Wen Ying was undoubtedly a beautiful person, but this was also mixed with beauty filters, which wasn’t real enough.

She continued, “But I’ll need a photo of you without makeup. The Bazi reveals the past. To see the specific fortune and misfortune of the near future, I need to read your face.”

Wen Ying hesitated. Her skin condition had been very bad recently. If the team behind Sang Jing got a photo of her without makeup and posted it online…

Seeing Wen Ying’s hesitation, Sang Jing looked down at the Bazi she had just written on the table. “I can talk about your past first, and then you can decide whether you want a reading on your fortune and misfortune.”

Sang Jing appropriately gave the other person a way out.

Wen Ying subtly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Sang Jing on the screen with the most common livestreaming smile. “Alright, then I’ll listen and see if the… streamer is accurate.”

Sang Jing’s fingers rested on the talisman paper, her fingertips brushing down from the first character. “From the Four Pillars, your first half of life was rough, your growth was not smooth. You have a gentle, pleasing personality, lacking your own opinions. Your family life was not harmonious, but your interpersonal relationships are relatively harmonious, with sincere friends.”

【Why is there not a single good word from this streamer? Yingying clearly looks like a baby from a happy family. Why does she make Yingying sound so pitiful?】

【This is just nonsense.】

【Why is Yingying’s expression a bit stiff? Did she hit the mark?】

Sang Jing glanced at the screen. The person opposite her had a wandering gaze but didn’t speak up to stop her, so she continued, “Your five elements are water. Your birthplace should be in the south, by a river. I’ve looked at the relevant cities, and along the river, only Shanghe fits. You were born in Shanghe, in a poor family. Your parents were powerless and suffered from illness and injury. You have a younger sister and a younger brother. Most of the hardships in the first half of your life came from them.”

After speaking, Sang Jing looked quietly at the screen.

The bullet comments were still refreshing constantly—

【This is hilarious. Our Yingying is not from Shanghe at all. Can you check your facts before you speak? Besides, Yingying is clearly an only child. Where did a younger sister and brother come from?】

【Liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, liar, get out of White Whale Live, get out of White Whale Live, get out of White Whale Live!!!】

【Yingying, quickly refute her! This is not the time to be so good-tempered! Quickly tell her that all of this is wrong!】

【…That’s not right.】

It was indeed not right.

Wen Ying’s eyes stared blankly after hearing Sang Jing’s words, sweat dripping from her forehead.

These were secrets she had buried deep inside. How, how could she know…

Sang Jing waited for a while and heard the notification sound of a private message.

Wen Ying said nothing, but sent her most authentic photo.
