Chapter 3

As the tourists called out to their friends, the number of people in the live stream broke through the hundred mark.

The newly arrived tourists chatted with those who had come earlier. Most of them were marveling at the high-end equipment the streamer was using, and the fact that a "rich and whimsical" person had hired so many extras to play eunuchs, palace maids, and imperial guards.

Lin Yi was very satisfied with breaking the hundred mark, knowing that many streamers with a hundred followers were using fake accounts.

Fake accounts were essentially dead accounts that some streamers paid people to use on Taobao. A single computer could run many of these fake accounts.

It was said that some of these fake accounts could even type automatically, pretending to be real people to liven up the atmosphere in the live stream.

However, the words typed by these fake accounts were always fixed and repetitive, as they were "dead" accounts. A discerning person could easily spot them.

Therefore, most streamers with a hundred followers were mostly using fake accounts, with only seven or eight, or perhaps a dozen, real people.

The same went for streamers with a thousand followers; there might only be a hundred or even just a few dozen real people in the live stream.

Even for streamers with ten thousand followers, there might only be a thousand or even fewer real people in the live stream.

This was also true for streamers with a hundred thousand followers!

However, for streamers with a hundred thousand followers, there were usually more than ten thousand real people in the live stream, and these were typically major streamers.

Having tens of thousands of people watching a live stream was already very popular and highly sought after!

When Chen He, the star of "Running Man," started streaming League of Legends, he managed to break the hundred thousand mark without using fake accounts, thanks to his influence.

Having over a hundred thousand people watching a live stream was a rare occurrence, as Chen He was a major celebrity, and many users from outside the platform came to watch him. Some who were not users of the platform even registered accounts to watch him.

Although Lin Yi was satisfied with his current achievement, he felt a sense of despair when he thought about his "Supreme Streamer" task, which required him to break the fifty billion mark...

There were only six to seven billion people on Earth! This was like asking him to appeal to everyone, regardless of age or gender...

He did not believe that using "fake accounts" could complete the system's task. He did not even dare to cheat, fearing any unexpected consequences.

Putting aside the fifty billion follower task, the current issue was survival.

Lin Yi looked at a small eunuch who was walking suspiciously, looking around as he went. He walked up to him and asked, "Hey, what's your name?"

The small eunuch, who was walking and looking around, was startled by the sudden voice. He stopped and looked at Lin Yi, uncertainly saying, "I'm called Xiaogui!"

"Xiaogui?" This time it was Lin Yi's turn to be uncertain.

Wasn't Xiaogui Wei Xiaobao? He had actually found the real deal so quickly! He had originally just wanted to ask for directions to find Haigong, the eunuch.

He did not believe that this Xiaogui was the real Xiaogui. The real Xiaogui had a lisp and spoke unclearly. This Xiaogui was clearly Wei Xiaobao, who had killed the real Xiaogui and was impersonating him.

Looking at the other's appearance, he was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a delicate face and lively eyes, exuding a clever air, which fit the character of Wei Xiaobao very well!

Wei Xiaobao—the protagonist of "The Deer and the Cauldron." Originally from Yangzhou, his mother, Wei Chunhua, was a prostitute.

In a chance encounter, Wei Xiaobao was taken to Beijing by the bandit Mao Shiba. He accidentally entered the palace, befriended Emperor Kangxi, captured Ao Bai, joined the Heaven and Earth Society, and became a disciple of Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Later, he went to Wutai Mountain to visit Emperor Shunzhi, became a monk at Shaolin Temple, and rescued Emperor Shunzhi.

He then went to Yunnan as an envoy, pacified the Divine Dragon Island, and helped Princess Sophia seize power.

Later, due to his identity as a leader of the Heaven and Earth Society being discovered by Emperor Kangxi, he fled and spent a few years on Tongchidao. He later achieved a great victory in the Battle of Albazin, signed the Treaty of Nerchinsk, and eventually retired with his seven wives.

Speaking of Wei Xiaobao, Lin Yi could not help but admire his good luck and charm. From a street urchin born in a brothel to a position second only to the emperor, not everyone could achieve such a feat.

Every event he experienced was not something a street urchin could accomplish, yet he did.

This indirectly demonstrated Wei Xiaobao's exceptional qualities.

The small eunuch said, "Yes! I'm Xiaogui. What's your name? Which eunuch are you with?"

Lin Yi snapped back to reality and smiled, saying, "I'm Xiaoyizi, and I'm with Li Gong. Which eunuch are you with?"

He had been looking for Wei Xiaobao, and now he had found him directly. It was like his wish had come true! Could it be that his luck had improved since he became a streamer?

The small eunuch looked at Lin Yi, smiled, and said, "I'm with Haigong." He thought to himself, "A dead eunuch, don't waste my time. I need to escape this place quickly!"

"What?" Lin Yi feigned surprise and exclaimed, "You're the Xiaogui who is with Haigong? I came to the palace to be a eunuch to find you!"

"What? Find me?" The small eunuch was also surprised, but being smart, he quickly realized that the other person was looking for the real Xiaogui, who he had killed the night before!

Lin Yi, looking like he had found a long-lost relative, said, "Yes! Cousin! I'm Lin Yi! I came to the palace to be a eunuch to join you! I heard you're doing well with Haigong! It's been a long time, I almost didn't recognize you, Cousin!"

The small eunuch was initially puzzled but then nodded and said, "Hmm? You're Cousin Lin Yi? It's been a long time, I almost didn't recognize you either."

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes! Cousin! It's me!"

"Cousin!"

"..."

The two were putting on a great acting performance. When the other person acknowledged him as his cousin, Lin Yi knew this was the real Wei Xiaobao!

The real Xiaogui wouldn't know Lin Yi, let alone call him cousin.

As the two were talking, the chat in the live stream was already scrolling rapidly—

"Xiaogui? Wei Xiaobao?"

"The streamer is 6666, he actually found an actor to play Wei Xiaobao? Is he planning to shoot a穿越戏 (time-travel drama)?"

"The streamer is really 6666! The actor playing Wei Xiaobao is also 6666! It's so realistic!"

"Agree with the above. In the original story, Wei Xiaobao killed the real Xiaogui. Now, seeing the real Xiaogui's cousin come looking for him, he seems genuinely scared! It's so realistic! Unbelievable!"

"Is the streamer's real identity actually Xiaogui's cousin? 23333 I'm laughing so hard."

"The streamer's acting is also 6666! Perfect score!"

"Both of them deserve a perfect score!"

"Speaking of the young actor playing Wei Xiaobao, he looks quite delicate and his acting is great. I can see a rising star in the entertainment industry!"

"The streamer's acting is also great! He looks quite delicate too. He should consider a career in the entertainment industry!"

"Agree with the above."

"Same here +1."

"Same here +2."
