Glancing at Cheng Lele, who was impatient to know the content of her conversation with the alpaca, and the urging barrage, Su Yi dragged it out for a few seconds to build up anticipation, slowly revealing the secret before Cheng Lele could lose her temper.
It turned out that the alpaca, Yun Duo, had overheard the man making a phone call. His younger brother had racked up a huge gambling debt abroad. Because of paying off the debt, the company’s capital chain was on the verge of breaking, teetering on the edge. This news was kept strictly confidential, not a single rumor had leaked out. He pretended nothing had happened, wanting to live off a woman, deceiving Cheng Lele’s friend out of money to save his family’s company.
Seeing that the engagement was imminent, the engagement banquet was even booked at the most luxurious hotel in City A, and invitations were widely distributed in wealthy circles. The bride’s family, so many people, were all completely fooled.
The alpaca saw it all and was anxious in its heart, but helplessly, humans couldn’t understand its words, so it could only launch spit attacks to make them suspicious.
“What a pity no one can appreciate my good intentions.” The alpaca was angry and melancholic. It risked damaging its image to give a warning, but instead of being praised, it was scolded several times.
“Sigh, humans don’t understand my heart, just like the day doesn’t understand the dark of the night,” it sighed heavily, then suddenly its eyes widened, “Wait, you can understand me?!”
Su Yi smiled and nodded.
At this moment, Cheng Lele, who had been in a daze after hearing her concisely explain the whole story, finally came to her senses. She leaned forward and said sternly: “Do you dare say you’re not talking nonsense? Do you dare swear on it?”
Su Yi smoothly raised three fingers and swore: “I swear, if I am talking nonsense, my dad will be sent flying ten meters by a dump truck when he goes out.”
After the vow, the person on the other side flew into a rage, but not at her.
“This bastard! Playing mind games with us.”
Looking completely convinced.
Su Yi: ?
Using “do you dare to swear” as an ultimate move? When did her sister become like Hailan [note: reference to a character known for extreme loyalty/trust in another, or perhaps gullibility in this context], why didn’t she know?
At this point, Cheng Lele believed it completely. In her view, if a person dared to swear on their dearest parents, then it must be true! No, she couldn’t delay any longer, she had to tell her friend about this immediately and expose the true colors of that gigolo!
“Mm-hmm-hmm! Oh my god, you are the first human who can understand me—” At this moment, the alpaca excitedly grunted, leaning closer, but its neck tightened, interrupting its excitement.
Its mom was even more excited than it was.
Cheng Lele hugged the alpaca’s neck, vigorously rubbing its little head: “Good Yun Duo, mommy’s baby, you’ve done a great service!”
“Huh? Then are you still going to scold me?” It immediately grunted proudly.
Cheng Lele hurriedly asked: “Streamer, what did it say?”
Su Yi: “It said it was scolded by you and feels very wronged. It needs to see a Carnival special effect to be happy.”
Her tone was extremely sincere.
The alpaca was a bit confused. It did feel wronged because it was scolded, but what was she saying? What the heck is a Carnival special effect? Is this currently the only human who can understand it still not very proficient in Alpaca language?
Before it could ask her if she had just learned to understand Alpaca language, gorgeous and cool things popped up on the screen.
Cheng Lele swiped ten Carnivals in a row.
Su Yi: ! Thank you for the gift of nature~~^3^
“Okay, happy now? Mommy is going to tell Auntie Fangfang about this first, and I’ll reward you properly when I get back.” Cheng Lele hurriedly hung up the connection.
The final image on the camera for the last second was the alpaca tilting its head, staring at the screen, a face full of confusion.
[Whoa, ten Carnivals, the kid is crying from envy! BTW, does the alpaca really want to see a Carnival? [doge]]
[What’s there to envy, it’s just a method the streamer uses to spend money and drive traffic~ The livestreaming track is getting more and more competitive now, with bizarre things to catch eyeballs emerging endlessly, even ‘understanding beast language’ is here haha.]
[Based on my experience of roaming the internet for twenty years and dodging countless scripted events, I dare say this time is not a script. Those interested can check how much the ruby pendant hanging around that alpaca’s neck is worth.]
[Sorry I’m a dark little mouse, I love eating the gossip of these rich people the most. Begging a master to follow the clues and dig out whether this gossip about the gigolo who went bankrupt from gambling, pretending to be rich to trick someone into marriage to pay off debts, is true or false.]
[Are there any real rich people from City A watching? Tell us if it’s true or false. If it’s true, then from now on I am a die-hard fan of this @Up in Heaven Down in Hang Streamer!]
[Even if it’s true gossip, it only shows that the streamer arranged it with someone to build a persona. It doesn’t prove she can really understand animal language, right?]
[Why so much trouble? If you want to know if the streamer can really understand or is just setting up a persona to harvest leeks [scam people], whoever has an animal on hand, just connect to the mic and try it, you’ll know. Anyway, it’s only 9.9, and if you’re not satisfied, there’s a full refund.]
Whether it was because of being on the recommendation page or having viewers bring in organic traffic, the number of online viewers broke through five hundred, and the number of people lining up to connect reached a gratifying eight.
Su Yi did a quick calculation. Even if the platform took half, the half she got reached the minimum daily withdrawal limit. She could withdraw cash!
Just as Su Yi was enthusiastically starting the next connection, the alpaca realized in hindsight what a Carnival was.
“Mm… So that cartoon-like thing is a Carnival.” It secretly sighed in relief. Good thing its mom left in time, otherwise it would have embarrassed itself by showing its lack of culture—
It suddenly realized something was wrong. It didn’t even know what a Carnival was, so when did it ever say it needed to see a Carnival special effect to be happy?
Probably that human called “Streamer” didn’t learn her craft well, wasn’t fluent in Alpaca language yet, and mistranslated. It thought about it and arrived at a very reasonable answer.
On the other side, Cheng Lele ran to her friend’s house in a desperate hurry. The other party, as expected, didn’t believe it. Upon hearing she said it was discovered by an alpaca, she directly laughed out of anger, asking her if she couldn’t stand seeing her happy.
It made Cheng Lele so angry she nearly fell backwards.
“Why won’t you listen to me? If it were Su Yi, whatever I say would be what goes,” she said, exasperated.
“You’re comparing me to that sister of yours?!”
“Ugh, who’s comparing you to her, don’t mention her,” Cheng Lele thought of a method. “You don’t believe it, right? I’ll prove it to you. Bring Prince over and let it connect with that streamer.”
Prince was a noble and elegant Maine Coon cat.
As she spoke, she found the livestream room of @Up in Heaven Down in Hang, clicked in, and found she was currently connected with someone.
Su Yi was just explaining to a client that a little piglet at her grandma’s house went on a hunger strike because it was afraid of getting too fat to survive the New Year, when she saw a bullet comment scroll by, very arrogant and conceited.
Joy of the Wind Chimes: [Let me cut the line, I’ll swipe another ten Carnivals.]
Others followed suit.
[Wow, it’s that alpaca! The eldest young lady has arrived, everyone get out of the way!]
[I’m still waiting in line, the streamer wouldn’t be so greedy for money as to actually let her cut in, right?]
[Let her cut, let her cut, let the regular customers suffer a bit, let the VIP go first. Is she here to supplement that marriage-fraud gossip?]
The few connections just now had proven to the viewers that Su Yi could indeed communicate with animals. She wasn’t bragging, and she wasn’t setting up a persona to harvest leeks.
Someone with fast hands had immediately posted the screen recording to other social platforms, attracting many curious people to come and watch the livestream.
The viewers were very enthusiastic. Su Yi smiled gratifyingly. Seeing that the bullet comments were all demanding she agree to let the arrogant Joy of the Wind Chimes cut in, she made her expression serious: “Family, everything has a first come, first served order. How could I agree to let someone cut in just because of ten Carnivals? Isn’t that destroying fairness? I will protect the fairness of my livestream room!”
Su Yi: This person is my beloved relative, my own sister! Let her cut in? She has to add more money.
[Holy crap, the streamer is so cool! I’m a fan now.]
[Cannot be swayed by wealth. Five short words, easy to say, but in this materialistic society, how many people can actually do it? The streamer is truly a breath of fresh air, followed.]
[I understand now, when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on someone… why did Heaven give the streamer this ultimate cheat code of understanding beast language? Because the streamer has a resolute mind and is not tempted by wealth!]
[That’s right, the righteous streamer lets rich people know that even if they have money, they can’t just do whatever they want.]
The praising bullet comments came one after another. Su Yi’s sharp turn of phrase, “If you add a zero to the number of Carnivals, it’s not unacceptable,” was blocked in her throat.
She silently swallowed her words back, mentally collapsing JPG.
She regretted being cheeky and trying to look cool.
Cheng Lele was blocked back by these righteous words, and her anger flared up.
Today, she would let them see whether rich people could do whatever they wanted!
Just as she was about to call someone to have this livestream room banned, her good friend got up and left: “Alright, play by yourself, I’m going to check the guest list.”
Cheng Lele was extremely anxious. Seeing that she couldn’t persuade her friend, she slammed the table and ran off to find the elders.
By the time Su Yi went offline, her voice was almost hoarse. She collapsed on the bed in exhaustion, forcing herself to stay awake long enough to order takeout before passing out.
When she woke up again, it was from the takeout delivery call. She was over-hungry, and now she actually couldn’t feel hunger at all.
Opening the takeout at a normal speed, she didn’t rush to eat, but first looked for a video to watch while eating.
She found a news push notification in her message bar: Two junior high school boys fight on the street, suspected emotional dispute.
Huh?
Su Yi clicked in with a smack. Kids nowadays are really precocious, huh. Her first connected client was also only in middle school, right? Secret crushes, cheating, they didn’t miss a beat.
She didn’t read the text, directly clicking on the video.
On the screen, two thin bamboo poles were fighting, shouting as they fought.
“XXX, are you freaking crazy? Just because Yuanyuan said I cheated, you believed it?? It’s a cat!”
“Yuanyuan is a cat, not an idiot, it heard everything! Still dare to argue, are you doing right by XX?”
“Damn it! You’re really sick, can you understand cat language?”
“I don’t understand but someone does. There’s a streamer who specializes in deciphering beast language. They don’t even know me, yet they could tell I like XX. It must have been from hearing Yuanyuan say it—”
“Like XX? You like my girlfriend? You animal!”
Many people commented.
[Young people nowadays are so full of energy haha.]
[A verified blue-V account posting this? At such a young age, dating, stealing girlfriends, cheating, fighting, not learning anything good at all. Why post this, to be a bad influence on other kids? Can you post something with positive energy?]
[Am I the only one who wants to know who that streamer specializing in deciphering beast language is? Asking urgently, this kid is very anxious.]
[I know! So excited, I didn’t expect to catch two live scenes. It’s on Douyin, called @Up in Heaven Down in Hang. I testify, what he said is true!]
[Let’s disperse, it’s just another traffic-driving method set up by the streamer, hehe.]
Su Yi blinked her eyes. Such a coincidence?
Thank you to Yuanyuan’s father. Even when fighting and getting on TV, he didn’t forget to advertise for her. It truly warms the heart.
