Chapter 46: Yet Another Master?!

Dai Xiaomei didn’t answer Jiang Yun.

But the sharp-eyed viewers all noticed that Dai Xiaomei, who had been at the top of the leaderboard, had disappeared. This meant she had left the stream…

Jiang Yun noticed this too and said, “Tsk, didn’t Third Dai say she was good at handling things? Is that all? Then Mozi…”

Before Jiang Yun could finish his sentence, Mozi, who had just appeared in the stream’s leaderboard, suddenly vanished as well.

Jiang Yun: …

He tilted his head. “Is that it? All talk and no action?”

In truth, Jiang Yun knew full well that Mozi and Dai Xiaomei couldn’t possibly show up in his stream.

Jiang Yun, having no contract, could wander into any stream he liked. But Dai Xiaomei and Mozi were different! One had signed with Shark Arena, the other with Tiger Live. If they appeared in Jiang Yun’s stream, they’d both risk being sued for breach of contract.

Even if the companies didn’t necessarily sue, the risk was there! So as long as they were in their right minds, they wouldn’t dare show up in his stream—unless it was a special situation, a reason worth risking breach of contract for…

But clearly, Jiang Yun was not such a reason right now.

Conversing with his viewers, Jiang Yun drove his car towards Chunxi Road. The reason for coming here was simple: there was a great night market nearby.

After parking, Jiang Yun got out, holding his phone, and said as he walked, “Guys, there’s a nice night market here, still open right now. I’ll show you the vibe around here tonight. If you’re ever visiting from out of town…”

Before he could finish, he noticed a crowd gathered not far ahead, talking about something.

As a true native of Chengdu, Jiang Yun had a knack for seeking out the lively and the dramatic—it was in his bones. He couldn’t possibly miss out on something happening.

“Looks like something’s up over there. Let’s go check it out.”

With that, Jiang Yun headed over.

Getting closer, he saw that the crowd wasn’t gathered around anything unusual—just a girl squatting on the ground.

She wore her hair in straight bangs and was dressed in a traditional Chinese school uniform, head lowered so her face wasn’t visible. In front of her, some words were written on the ground in white chalk:

“I accidentally lost my wallet. I haven’t eaten all day. Would some kind-hearted soul spare me 10 yuan for food?”

The moment he saw the words, Jiang Yun understood the situation.

He wasn’t the only one; his viewers also caught on.

“Damn, it’s a scammer!”

“Seriously, do all these scammers dress the same?”

“Even the message is identical.”

“Well, well, so there are scammers in Chengdu too? I thought only my third-tier hometown had this kind of thing.”

“….”

This classic lost-wallet, no-money-for-food scam was something that hardly any young person hadn’t encountered nowadays.

But even though everyone recognized it as a scam, there wasn’t much to be done. After all, it was technically just begging.

Begging wasn’t illegal. If you called the police, they wouldn’t do much—at most, just ask her to move along. She could just go somewhere else and repeat the whole act.

And, doing this, there were always a few kind-hearted people who would fall for it, so she’d make some money.

Most young people, seeing this, would just glance over and walk away.

But not Jiang Yun.

He stood in front of the girl, tilted his head, and looked her over, a strange smile playing at his lips.

Seeing Jiang Yun’s grin, the live chat instantly grew excited.

“Something’s off! Yun’s smile is suspicious!”

“There it is! That familiar smile!”

“When Yun smiles like that, anything can happen!”

“Last time he smiled like that, the old lady lost her composure completely!”

“…”

Without further explanation, Jiang Yun dashed into a nearby bakery.

As soon as he entered, he called out, “Hey boss, do you have big steamed buns? The really filling kind!”

The owner stood up immediately. “Sorry, this is a bakery, we have bread but no steamed buns.”

“Tsk.” Jiang Yun smacked his lips. “She’s lucky, then.”

“Fine, do you have any bread that’s really filling? Give me a few.”

“We do.”

The owner handed him a particular kind of bread.

Jiang Yun squeezed it—it seemed decent. Knowing his own appetite, he could maybe eat three or four, so he waved his hand grandly, “Give me twenty!”

“Twenty? Are you sure?” The owner looked at him strangely. “Brother, this bread is very filling. Don’t hurt yourself trying to eat twenty.”

Jiang Yun grinned mischievously. “That’s exactly the point.”

Saying that, he pointed at the girl outside and raised his eyebrows.

The owner glanced in her direction, instantly understanding. He said nothing, just gave Jiang Yun a thumbs-up.

Soon, Jiang Yun paid, took the twenty breads, and walked out of the bakery.

By this point, viewers had also figured out what Jiang Yun was up to.

“No way, is Yun really going to do what I think he’s going to do?”

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s exactly what I’m thinking!”

“Damn, Yun, don’t actually feed her to bursting!”

“I’m getting hyped up, brothers!”

“…”

Jiang Yun glanced at the chat but didn’t say anything.

He returned to the girl, then handed her the bread.

“Weren’t you hungry? Here, eat!”

The girl didn’t say anything, just kept her head down, took the bread, and seemed unsurprised by Jiang Yun’s actions.

This caught Jiang Yun slightly off guard.

And the live chat too.

“Wait, she’s not reacting at all?”

“We underestimated her—she’s probably been doing this for years and has dealt with people like Yun before.”

“Damn it, Yun’s bread money is wasted!”

“We’re up against a pro!”

“…”

The girl accepted the bread and quietly opened one, nibbling at it.

Jiang Yun, seeing this, got competitive. He squatted down in front of her to see how long she could keep eating.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes…

Half an hour passed, and she was still eating.

But to everyone’s surprise, after half an hour, she hadn’t even finished one bread!

She nibbled, taking tiny bites—chewing each one at least fifty times before swallowing.

Jiang Yun: ????

Huh??

He’d met a real pro.

Just then, the girl glanced up at him.

“It’s dry… I want some water.”

“Hold on!”

Jiang Yun, now thoroughly invested, wanted to see how long she could keep this up. So, hearing her request, he went off and bought a whole case of bottled water.

“Drink!” He handed her a bottle.

The girl took it and continued eating.
