Chapter 150: A Consistent Performance!
Before Jiang Yun could even snap out of it, the young man had already trotted away with tiny, quick steps.
At that moment, a wave of defiance instantly welled up inside Jiang Yun.
He directly addressed the system in his mind: "Open the system's live-stream magnetic field enhancement!"
[Ding, system live-stream magnetic field enhancement has been activated.....]
[Enhancing......]
He wanted to see just how much more absurd things could get now that he had turned the magnetic field on, considering how abstract things already were without it!
Meanwhile, the viewers assumed Jiang Yun simply couldn't accept reality and began mocking him mercilessly in the chat.
"Give up. Your absurdity is truly peerless."
"I thought today would just be another stream to grind hours, but it turns out these weirdos are coming out one after another!"
"I just love seeing Brother Yun looking all defiant yet completely helpless."
"Just embrace your role as an absurd streamer; you can't fight it!"
"........"
Ignoring the viewers' taunts, Jiang Yun sat down on a stone bollard by the roadside.
Come on, let's see just how absurd things can get today!
Right at that moment, a familiar voice came from behind Jiang Yun.
"What are you doing here?"
Hearing the voice, Jiang Yun instinctively turned his head.
Damn it, Fang Siqi!
At this point, not only him, but the viewers in the live stream also spotted Fang Siqi.
"Here she comes, here she comes! The Chunxi Road kill count is about to go up!"
"Starting right off the bat with a criminal case! Let me see how this plays out today!"
"I believe in Brother Yun's abilities. Come on, let's welcome our next criminal!"
"Well, well, Officer Fang!"
".........."
Jiang Yun looked at Fang Siqi with a puzzled expression: "Seriously, Big Sis, are you a ghost that just won't quit? You were there when I went to Taikoo Li, and now that I'm back at Chunxi Road, you're here too?"
Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Fang Siqi rolled her eyes: "You think I want to run into you? Some guy got too drunk early in the morning and started causing a scene over there. The restaurant owner called the police, so we came to check it out."
"So, are you done checking?"
"Yeah, it's all settled. Otherwise, why would I be standing here chatting with you?"
"Then go back!"
"We'll go back in a bit."
"What are you waiting for? Are you just slacking off?"
At this moment, Fang Siqi's colleague stepped in to explain on her behalf: "Siqi just said that seeing you always leads straight to a criminal case, and our station's performance evaluation for the year depends on you, so we came over to take a look."
Jiang Yun: ........
Fine, fine! Using me to boost your station's KPIs, are you?
"Hey, did you see anything suspicious just now?"
Fang Siqi asked Jiang Yun.
"Would seeing a guy who looks really good in women's clothing count?"
Jiang Yun answered gloomily.
Hearing his reply, Fang Siqi curled her lips: "Making a fuss over nothing. It's just cross-dressing."
With that, Fang Siqi turned to her colleague: "Let's head back. Looks like the Little Crow isn't bringing any bad luck today."
Jiang Yun: ......
What the heck is "Little Crow"! Will you please speak clearly?!
Just as the group was about to leave, a man suddenly came running toward them, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Officer, someone's trying to kill me!"
Hearing the word "kill," Fang Siqi and her colleague immediately focused their attention on the man.
The man's face was covered in numerous bloody scratches, and his clothes were stained with patches of red that looked just like blood.
Seeing this, Fang Siqi and her colleague ran toward the man without a moment's hesitation.
"Don't run off. You have so much blood on you, let's get you to the hospital first," the male officer said, supporting the man.
Hearing the male officer, the man waved his hand: "This isn't blood, it's ketchup."
Jiang Yun: ????
Fang Siqi: ???
The male officer: ???
Huh???
The male officer used his finger to wipe a bit of the red liquid off the man, brought it to his nose to sniff it, and then turned to Fang Siqi: "It really is ketchup."
After saying that, the male officer looked at the man in confusion: "Why on earth did you smear so much ketchup all over yourself? And what was that you said earlier about someone trying to kill you?"
Instead of answering the police officer, the man cast a wary glance at Jiang Yun, pointed right at him, and asked: "Officer, is this guy a cop too?"
Jiang Yun: ........
What the hell?! What do you mean by that?! I should be asking you what you mean!
Jiang Yun looked at Fang Siqi, utterly speechless, and said: "This isn't fun anymore, I'm out!"
Although he wanted to watch the spectacle, it was obvious the man didn't want him around.
Fine, if I'm not watching, I'm not watching!
At this point, the viewers in the live stream immediately protested upon hearing Jiang Yun's words.
"Don't leave! If you leave, the content is gone!"
"Don't do this, Brother Yun! Let us watch, let us look a little more!"
"I'm begging you, Brother Yun, let us finish watching, okay? Please!"
"You might not want to eat this melon, but we do! Let us have a look!!!"
"........"
Faced with the barrage of requests, Jiang Yun merely curled his lip and said: "What's the rush? Once this whole thing gets sorted out, I'll post a video for you guys to watch at your leisure."
Under normal circumstances, Jiang Yun wouldn't dare make such a promise.
But right now, with the system's magnetic field enhancement active, combined with the man's bizarre behavior just now, he was certain that this case was bound to be utterly absurd!
Since it was absurd, Fang Siqi and her team would definitely release it to the public.
Based on his past experiences collaborating with Fang Siqi's police station, they would surely have him co-create and post the video in the end.
Since he was guaranteed to know the full details of the case eventually, why rush now?
Seeing that Jiang Yun was about to leave, Fang Siqi patted him on the shoulder: "Keep up the consistent performance!"
Jiang Yun: .........
Consistency my foot!
"System, turn off the system live-stream magnetic field enhancement."
Jiang Yun said to the system in his mind.
He had activated the system's live-stream magnetic field enhancement just to see what kind of ridiculously absurd things would happen. Now that such an event had occurred, there was naturally no need to keep it running.
After all, once this feature was turned on, a traffic accident buff would inevitably be triggered between him and Dai Xiaomei.
Who knows if Dai Xiaomei might suddenly appear nearby?
As for how absurd that ketchup-covered man would turn out to be, Jiang Yun could only wait patiently to find out later.
Right at that moment, the system's voice rang out in Jiang Yun's mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for a successful check-in. Reward: Master-level Life Skills Card.]
[Master-level Life Skills Card: After use, you may choose one of the following master-level skills to learn. Upon learning, you will immediately master the corresponding technique. Options: Master-level Lockpicking, Master-level Pipe Dredging, Master-level Home Appliance Repair, Master-level House Cleaning, Master-level Concrete Pouring.]
Jiang Yun: ?????
Hearing the bizarre skills rewarded by the system this time, Jiang Yun was completely dumbfounded.
Setting aside the previous choices, what on earth was the last one—master-level concrete pouring—used for?
Is this really supposed to be a life skill?
Isn't this just a brick-laying technique for construction sites?
