System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

Jiang Qing tidied her neat, shoulder-length hair and took the notebook from her secretary with her delicate, jade-like hand.

Those captivating peach blossom eyes were slightly surprised after scanning the data.

"If it's a marketing account run by a company or group, the data is normal in the early stages."

"But if it's just a random account, then this person's potential is unimaginable. If they keep creating good content, they might become the next Little Yang."

"Boss, you actually gave this account such a high rating?" the secretary asked, somewhat surprised.

Jiang Qing nodded, "I always rely on big data."

"By the way, what's the content of his live streams?"

The secretary hesitated for a moment, then scratched her head. "Uh, it seems so, it's a live fortune-telling broadcast..."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qing looked at the secretary with certainty, "A wild account that believes in superstitions and heresies, how could it have such data in 24 hours?"

"Yes, I'm wondering about that too."

Seemingly remembering something, the secretary hurriedly leaned over and typed a few words on the computer.

"Boss, the content of the video posted by this account seems to be a compilation of yesterday's live stream by this person called Master Beiming."

"Master Beiming?" Jiang Qing repeated in a low voice, then clicked to play the video. "I want to see what kind of content can attract so much traffic in such a short time."

The novice video editor posted four videos this morning.

They are two related to Yin Jiu, one to Yang Chen who uses the Gu of Wisdom, and one to Zhang Wei, the Father of Destiny.

Moreover, besides Yin Jiu and Yang Chen, the last video also contains a hook, which is Zhang Wei's follow-up.

Because of this operation.

The video editor gained a large following within just a few hours of posting the video.

As the four videos finished playing, Jiang Qing stood up abruptly.

The reaction was so intense that the waves under AJ's white shirt almost burst out.

Jiang Qing squinted, watching Chen Xuan in the video who remained calm and composed, and whispered to himself.

"A script, superstition... or a true master?"

"Boss, what's wrong with you? This looks like a short-form drama that's been heavily invested in for a short period of time."

Jiang Qing shook her head. "No, I have a feeling that this person's live stream content might not be scripted."

"Do you stream live every night at 8 PM?"

"Fine, I, Jiang Qing, will see tonight whether you're a true master or just a script."

After muttering to himself, Jiang Qing instructed, "Find his contact information from the back office."

The secretary was somewhat shocked. "Boss, are you going to sign him to a contract with an A-level or higher?"

"Above Grade A?" Jiang Qing smiled wryly. "If it's fake, then shut down his live stream. After all, the content is too mysterious. Although it's not so tense in the last two years, this is still a potential problem."

"What if it's true?" the secretary asked curiously.

"If his live stream content is true, an A-level contract probably won't be enough. If we want to keep him as a regular streamer on Douyin, I'd have to offer the highest-level S-level contract."

"An S-level contract, the contract benefits of several top streamers?" The secretary stared in disbelief, her mouth agape.

"No rush, let the bullets fly for a while."

Soon, with the help of her secretary, Jiang Qing obtained Chen Xuan's phone number.

She glanced at it casually, then placed the phone number next to her desk without paying much attention to it.

However, as time passed, it soon reached 8 p.m. Exhausted from a day's work, Jiang Qing felt a bit tired and wanted to rest.

At this moment, the secretary rushed over and said excitedly, "Boss, that Daoist Beiming has started his live stream! Hurry up and go watch! Lots of people have already gone inside."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qing, the department head, hummed in agreement, closed the document on her computer, rubbed her temples with her slender fingers, and then picked up her phone, saying lazily, "Alright, then I'll see what this new streamer is capable of. How can a new account accumulate 21 followers in 24 hours?"

Upon hearing this, the secretary emphasized again, "Boss, um, the 21 followers is the data from this morning. As of now, the Taoist priest's account has accumulated 26 followers, and there isn't a single work in his account's backend yet."

When these words reached Jiang Qing's ears, she paused for a moment, then her rosy lips curved into a smile. She then tapped her finger to open the Douyin app and began searching for Daoist Beiming.

After finding it, he saw that the live stream was already running, so he clicked to enter.

As soon as Jiang Qing entered, she was taken aback by the enthusiastic atmosphere of the fans in the live stream.

A master of slacking off; [Haha, I finally arrived the moment the Taoist priest started his live stream!]

[A cat obsessed with looks: Yeah, I was at work this morning, so I didn't dare slack off and watch live streams. If my supervisor found out, I'd definitely get a scolding, boohoo.]

[I, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, along with my beloved wives, Empress Yunxi and Huo Ling'er, are watching this under our real names!]

[I, Emperor Ye, along with Empress Ji Ziyue, am watching this under my real name!]

[I, Wang Lin, and my beloved wife, Lin Muwan, watched this with our real names!]

[I, Luo Feng, along with Babata, watched this with my real name!]

In no time, the live stream chat was filled with all sorts of people showing off, teasing, flirting, joking, and making jokes.

Meanwhile, Chen Xuan, sitting calmly in the center of the screen, kept his eyes closed and remained motionless, seemingly waiting for something.

Jiang Qing, as the person in charge of the live streaming area links of Douyin Group, was quite curious about the streamer's attitude.

However, she wasn't in a hurry, because the popularity of her live stream was slowly rising, and the trend showed no signs of slowing down.

She knew that even if she sent a message in the chat now, the streamer, who was resting with his eyes closed, might not notice.

So she simply waited patiently.

About ten minutes later, Jiang Qing was shocked by the number of fans the live stream had attracted.

Even though there was nothing going on in the live stream and the streamer was just sitting there with his eyes closed and not moving, in just ten minutes, his number of fans skyrocketed from 10,000 to over 100,000.

Even Jiang Qing, the person in charge of the live streaming area, was surprised by this data.

As more and more people joined the live stream, Jiang Qing noticed that the atmosphere in the chat was starting to become strange.

When Jiang Qing first entered the live stream, the atmosphere in the chat was very unified, with everyone praising Chen Xuan's amazing fortune-telling skills and accurate predictions, which was very convincing.

After gaining over 10 followers, the atmosphere in the live chat started to change. Some netizens even directly said in the chat that the streamer was a fraud and that the previous traffic-driving was all scripted, which caught Jiang Qing's attention.

Jiang Qing was unaware of what happened in Chen Xuan's live stream that morning, while the hundreds of thousands of fans in the live stream witnessed the entire process from Huang Mao connecting with the camera to being arrested.

The morning live stream wasn't recorded because the newbie editor wasn't there, and Chen Xuan disdained showing off his fortune-telling skills to gain fans.

Five minutes passed in the noisy chatter of the bullet comments section before Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

In that instant, he seemed to awaken as if a figure in a painting had come to life.

This made Jiang Qing, who was well-traveled and had excellent personal qualities, slightly infatuated. She felt that Daoist Beiming had a kind of inexplicable temperament that was hard to describe but also very approachable.

Chen Xuan had been resting with his eyes closed for 15 minutes since the start of the broadcast. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the live stream had nearly 15 viewers. He then cleared his throat, smiled, and said, "Good evening, everyone. Let me introduce myself. I am Chen Xuan, a member of the Zhengyi sect, with the Daoist name Beiming. I go live every night at 8 p.m. to tell fortunes and help you change your destiny."

"Anyone who encounters strange or bizarre events that cannot be explained by science can come for consultation. We can also consult on marriage, children, and studies, but the prerequisite is that you must grab a lucky bag. After grabbing the lucky bag, you must pay 3,000 gold coins to connect with us for the live broadcast."

As soon as Chen Xuan said this, the fans in the live stream wailed in despair.

Meanwhile, those netizens who attracted traffic through the video were still unaware of what had happened.

However, Chen Xuan's audacious words aroused their curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

Wang Dachui: [Master, I can take on the renovation project of Feixian Temple, but could you please give me a separate calculation just for me?]

Northwest King Dana: [Taoist Master, my family works in the coal mining industry. I can fund the construction of a new Taoist temple for you. Could you take a look at it?]

Observer #1: [Huh? What's going on? Even if it's scripted, it shouldn't be this outrageous, right? The team behind this is unprofessional!]

[Haha, yeah, short dramas are all about building up emotions, but this one's already at its climax right from the start! Aren't they worried about it not having enough staying power?]

[Hey, newbie upstairs, believe it or not, get lost! Don't take up a spot in the lucky bag giveaway!]

[That's right, why didn't you all come out this morning to say that the Taoist priest is a fraud?!]

[Haha, that idiot from this morning already went in wearing a gold bracelet, huh?]

……

At this point, the number of viewers in the live stream is about to exceed 20.

Sixty percent of them were die-hard fans who had witnessed Chen Xuan's methods, while the remaining forty percent were attracted by the videos' popularity.

That's how people are; once bitten by a snake, they're afraid of ropes for ten years.

Those streamers who used to indiscriminately exploit viewers with their rhetoric and tactics have long been wary of such people.

But people are strange; they won't leave when you chase them, but they'll back down when you beat them.

The die-hard fans have already made it clear that these disbelieving haters should get lost, and the streamer Chen Xuan has also tacitly agreed. Wow, this has directly aroused the competitive spirit of the new netizens, so they simply refuse to leave.

Thinking to myself, no matter what kind of lousy stuff you're selling later, I'm not buying it. I'll make you furious and see what you can do about it.

No matter how well you explain it, traffic still needs to be monetized.

Without much hesitation, Chen Xuan manually sent a one-yuan lucky bag.

"Dear customers, the lucky bags have been distributed. The draw will be held in ten minutes. Who will be the first lucky winner?"
