"Why did it black out? Why did it blackout, what was President Yu doing during the last part of the livestream?" The planner frantically shouted at the person recording the screen.
Did it really black out?
No, it was the hacker blacking out my bonus!
"President Yu was carrying Young Master Fox into the house, and then the screen suddenly showed a signal interruption...." The person in charge of monitoring the livestream paused and then said in a mournful tone:
"If you want to know why, based on my seven years of experience, the final scene of President Yu's livestream was outdoors, and her streaming device was a phone, so there's a 90% chance it overheated and... rebooted."
In the livestream, the last scene of Ah Qing was following behind Chen Zhiyu, heading to the office, and the whole journey was outdoors. Given the midday heat in Jiule City, it was entirely reasonable and legal for the phone to overheat in the sun....
"Darn it!"
Shouted the planning supervisor, raising his hand and slapping his face, exasperatedly saying, "Proceed as planned, just get the topic out there first."
"Synchronize the highlight reels on other platforms and check if the account has enough funds..."
Although there was a minor issue in the livestream room, it didn't prevent them from posting videos across all platforms and using their respective video accounts for marketing promotions on video platforms.
These video accounts were high-quality copies with the same name as Ah Qing's accounts on the A-Qing Note platform.
No.....
You can't call them copies; these accounts originally belonged to Ah Qing, though they're now managed by a professional video production team.
......
"Holy crap! Ah Qing, your phone overheated and automatically shut down into protection mode."
Seeing the phone suddenly black out and display an overheating protection warning on the screen, Qiu Lingling's eyes widened, quickly looking over to Ah Qing and shouting.
The number of people in the livestream room and the likes were both surging, especially after Ah Qing caught a whale, the likes instantly surpassed a million, and the number of viewers was quickly rising.
Now, with a sudden notification of overheating protection, Qiu Lingling was worried for Ah Qing.
"It overheated again?" Ah Qing was startled, looked at her phone with a helpless expression, and said, "It's okay, if it shows overheating protection, it's a good thing, just let it cool down, it can start again. If it doesn't show it, then that indicates the phone malfunctioned."
Confronted with the phone's overheating protection, Ah Qing had already accumulated rich experience on the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Showing overheating is a good sign.
If there is no display, it may mean the motherboard has burned out.
Now we just have to wait for the phone to cool down to start it again.
Once we're in an air-conditioned room, it will be fine.
"Hiss....."
Qiu Lingling had a burnt-out expression on her face, feeling her back molars slightly aching, similar to when there's a bowl of cooked Tienchi powder noodles in front of her, making her speechless and annoyed.
"Aba! Time to come home for dinner!"
After being speechless for a moment, Qiu Lingling took a whistle out of her pocket and blew it heavily, loudly calling towards the village.
"Woof!"
Aba's head poked out from the alley, hurriedly running towards Qiu Lingling.
"Where have you been? You don't know to come home for dinner."
Seeing Aba rushing back, Qiu Lingling said as Aba had been playing outside for over an hour.
"Woof woof woof—"
Aba sat under the cool eaves, wearing a joyous smile on his dog face, barking at Qiu Lingling.
"Alright, let's go inside and enjoy some air-conditioning, and I'll add a drumstick to your bowl at dinner." Qiu Lingling patted Aba's dog head and led him towards Sister Zhiyu's office.
Entering the office, enjoying the cool air blown by the air-conditioning, Qiu Lingling, and Ah Qing sat slump at the tea table, wearing lazy expressions.
While Ah Qing fiddled with the overheated phone, restarting it to reopen the livestream room.
In the livestream room, there was no text, only a bunch of question marks floating on the public screen.
"Ahaha..... my phone just overheated." Ah Qing, wearing an embarrassed face, poked out her head, facing the camera, greeted the viewers in the livestream room, and explained the reason behind her sudden disconnect.
Although this phone's livestreaming was pretty good, Ah Qing gradually started to think about getting a new one.
Disconnecting during a stream wasn't much of an issue.
But having no signal is the worst, especially for someone like Ah Qing, a student at the Agricultural Research Institute, who doesn't always stay in a classroom, as sometimes hikes deep into the mountains are required for field research or to complete assignments given by professors.
"It's not a blue whale! How could such a big creature like a blue whale appear in the river? It's an orca, and also, I didn't catch it...."
Ah Qing, in front of the livestream, took out another phone she used to read comments and as a prompter, while looking at the screen showing the MacDonald's delivery interface; she said full of distress:
"I ordered 300 servings of thick fries...."
"The reason why the fish bit the hook was that it wanted some fish and chips, but no one was paying attention to it. I looked at it, it looked at me, and then it came over asking for food and lodging...."
[300 servings of thick fries.... looks like M's fryer is gonna explode.]
[Now I'm just curious about how many e-bikes will come to deliver all these fries?]
[Seriously, do you people have a heart? Isn't anyone concerned about those delivering the fries?]
[Concerned? Getting a free workout during their job, I'm just dying with envy here, aren't I? Finish frying 300 thick fries, and watch those biceps pump....]
There were all sorts of comments in the livestream, but mainly they were in three categories: some were concerned about the orca, others were curious about the upcoming e-bike deliveries, and some were mischievously saying they were going to report for overloading e-bikes.
Other new viewers were crazily begging Ah Qing to reveal the bait recipe.
The matter of Ah Qing catching a whale wasn't over; it was just beginning.
Numerous local streamers, after learning the info, were either driving or taking bus rides, heading there to try and hitch a ride on the trend.
"Woof..."
Aba, crouching on the ground, sneakily called over to Grandmaster Fu to come over for a second.
"Hm?"
Standing on his head in front of the cylindrical air-conditioner, legs spread, with the wind cooling his balls, Ansheng noticed Aba sneaking around, displaying a puzzled expression as he got down from the air-conditioning to walk with Aba into Chen Zhiyu's break room.
"Woof!"
Aba glanced out the door, quietly telling Grandmaster Fu an important matter.
Although the information was not entirely accurate and just something brothers heard on the streets, Aba felt there was a high probability the issue was aimed at Grandmaster Fu.
"What? Someone's offering a hefty reward to have people run over all of Jiule City's White Foxes?"
Ansheng was visibly shocked, gradually casting a questioning look at Aba: "Are you sure you didn't get it wrong?"
"Awoo....." Aba nodded assuredly.
The information was something the brothers overheard while begging in a Starbucks.
They were talking about someone online issuing a bounty for White Foxes, offering ten thousand yuan for each one killed.
Moreover, those guys were seriously discussing whether killing foxes could earn them some side income.
A pet fox was worth a few thousand yuan, and if one killed a fox, they could earn at least seven thousand yuan.
If they killed it without being caught by its owner, that's like getting ten thousand yuan for nothing.
Of course.
The folks in the coffee shop were treating it as mere gossip, as no one knew how the forum would settle accounts, nor did anyone appear too daring to risk it.
"I understand what's going on...."
Ansheng, frowning, said: "Do you have a phone? I might need to make a call about this."
Slaughtering all the White Foxes in Jiule City....
Although Ansheng wasn't clear about the whole story, he already had a suspect lurking in his mind.
Someone with such capability, resources, and the motivation could only be...
The Lin family, who likely caused these recent phenomena, bringing to life the visit by Grandmaster Lin.
"By the way, Aba!"
"Do you have any AKs on your side? Get a few over here; I might need them in the coming days."
