Chapter 1532: Chapter 1532: An Unorthodox Livestream
Lin Heihu’s livestream account was set up in just half a day—never underestimate the potential of a Kunxiu Sect.
And his character design was also completed in a very short time.
The next day, he took Gao Qiang to the Cancer Care Center to prepare for the livestream.
As for why Gao Qiang came along, attentive friends might ponder—a bit—who else would be suitable to bring?
The fact is, Gao Qiang just advanced to a High-Rank Martial Master, and continuing to cultivate wouldn’t be much helpful, so he needed to take a break.
Lin Heihu himself is still a virtual existence, capable of personifying characters, but when it comes to the actual livestream, he feels his overall appearance is still quite illusionary and needs the magic of Photoshop.
But that’s just a minor issue; his current magical strength is a bit lacking, not enough to support him becoming part of the “selfie livestream” tribe, so he definitely needs someone to help to complete the livestream.
Of course, the real livestreaming big bosses are seldom lone wolves, having an assistant is normal.
In fact, Lin Heihu’s biggest shortcoming isn’t in having an assistant; it’s in that he doesn’t quite look human.
But there’s nothing he can do about it; his lack of magical power means it’s fine for separate productions, but live broadcasting… could easily scare cancer patients.
However, this little trouble couldn’t stymie Gao Qiang, who has experience in anti-counterfeiting work, so he suggested to Lin Heihu that, “You could livestream with a mask.”
Upon hearing this, the Earth Deity nearly jumped up and said, “I’m here to gather faith, how would I collect it with my face covered?”
Actually, this is quite easily solved, Lin Heihu first narrated to the audience—during this process, he was the only one in front of the camera, so he could use any sort of miraculous means, and the audience couldn’t find out he was a Soul Body.
Then he put on the doctor’s coat that Gao Qiang got him—though the Cancer Care Center isn’t a hospital, the clothing like hats and coats are basically the same as in hospitals.
With a doctor’s coat, a hat, and a large mask, over ninety percent of Lin Heihu’s body was covered, leaving only the parts he needed to morph carefully revealed, which was quite simple and wouldn’t be noticed by ordinary people.
No one would think that the inside of that doctor’s coat was actually empty.
The Earth Deity thought about it and found the idea really good, he even got a pair of sunglasses to wear on his nose.
There were just a few scattered viewers in the livestream room, but someone still asked, “Aren’t you going to see cancer patients? I get the mask, but why the sunglasses?”
“Because I don’t want to see too clearly,” Lin Heihu responded with quick wit, without hesitation, “I sympathize with them, but I also need to consider my capacity to cope; I’m still a kid after all…”
Taking Lin Heihu into the Rehabilitation Center with Gao Qiang was simple, with just a word to Liu Yuting, though Beauty Lin sent someone to intercept briefly, wanting to find out who this somewhat shady-looking guy was.
But Gao Qiang rejected it tactfully, apologizing, “This is President Feng’s friend, it’s not convenient to introduce him. As for why I’m accompanying him, it’s simply because I’m relatively free lately. That’s all there is.”
Beauty Lin really wanted to search this guy, just like she did with Sofia before.
However, Sofia was an obviously foreign individual and had been refused entry by Luohua Manor, so she could do that, but this guy was confirmed to be “Elder Feng’s friend,” and she didn’t dare to do so after some consideration.
Still, she got out of the car and asked, “So what are you doing in there?”
Gao Qiang couldn’t help but ask, “This is between us and the care center, what does it have to do with you?”
“Of course,” Beauty Lin answered confidently, “The care center has people under our protection.”
Lin Heihu replied with a dull voice, “We’re going in for a livestream; we won’t film your people.”
“We don’t feel assured,” Beauty Lin immediately stated, “we also need someone inside to supervise.”
“That’s not possible,” Gao Qiang flatly refused, “Do you want me to tell the Big Boss? You might not even be able to stay here then!”
“Humph,” Beauty Lin snorted lightly and turned to leave, ordering, “Keep an eye on nearby livestream accounts; if they dare go back on their word, we won’t be gentle!”
Although Lin Heihu is from a time long past, he understands the saying “the poor avoid fighting the rich, and civilians avoid fighting officials,” he truly knows who is suitable to film and who is not.
However, while livestreaming with ordinary patients, the Earth Deity faced the old issue—portrait rights.
The first patient looked at the two warily from the start, “What are you here for?”
Upon hearing it was a livestream, they very straightforwardly refused, “I don’t want to be livestreamed. Please, don’t invade my portrait rights. I mean it.”
The second patient’s attitude was a bit better, but that’s because they were wary of the Cancer Care Center. After indirectly inquiring, they heard that the center doesn’t force everyone to accept live streaming, and they also decisively refused.
“Sorry, my current state isn’t fit for anyone to see, and I think your live streaming is a bit cruel for patients. Besides the right to one’s image, it also involves privacy rights. I hope you two won’t contact me for live streaming anymore.”
The refusal by these two led other patients to follow suit. In the center, patients on the same floor could move around, and even patients from different floors could visit each other—of course, during limited times.
Some patients even set up a game of chess in the hallway or played poker—all with strict time limits.
Therefore, there was quite a bit of interaction among patients, and hearing that the first two refused, others followed suit.
Some even angrily remarked, “You young people, aren’t there better things to do than earning money from live streaming cancer patients? Doesn’t your heart ache?”
Just when everything seemed hopeless, a reasonably good-looking girl approached. She greeted Gao Qiang, “Hello, Director Gao, I’m Li Nansheng, Director Li’s assistant. I’d like to know, can our live streaming be shown to the patients’ families?”
After entering the Cancer Care Center, all electronic devices were taken away from the patients, severing their outside contact—of course, pacemakers and the like couldn’t be taken.
Previously, family members of patients could catch a glimpse of their relatives when delivering meals. Since the center started providing meals, this was not an option.
Each patient has one chance per week to call their family, with the call limited to half an hour and fully recorded—all clearly stated in the care contract. If you don’t sign it, you can’t enter the center.
This requirement is somewhat unreasonable, but the center’s explanation is to prevent leaks—either accept it or don’t.
Generally speaking, those who are ill tend to be more psychologically fragile and prefer to communicate with family, let alone cancer patients.
Li Nansheng understood patients’ psychology well and knew Gao Qiang. Seeing their live streaming wasn’t going well, she came over to make a suggestion—she thought it was a win-win situation.
Gao Qiang immediately understood her intent—after all, he had been involved in exposing fake Chinese medicine and understood patients’ minds, but he was still a bit hesitant… Is it appropriate to do this?
Lin Heihu immediately expressed support upon hearing this, “This could work. The center prohibits communication with patients’ families mainly for confidentiality; our live streaming is certainly secure and can enhance interaction, effectively relieving patients’ psychological pressure.”
“That’s what you’re saying,” Gao Qiang nodded, “but we still have to notify the Big Boss… you better understand this point.”
“I understand,” Lin Heihu felt a little underestimated, “Always report to the higher-ups. I understood this ever since I was two thousand… very young.”
The level of the Incense Offering Deity System is far stricter than your Luohua!
Gao Qiang used the walkie-talkie to call Feng Jun, who replied, “Since Lao Lin is confident, let’s do it.”
Lao Lin? Beauty Lin, who was eavesdropping, was stunned, “That sneaky guy, is he from my family?”
With Feng Jun’s approval, the matter became much easier. Li Nansheng immediately reported to Liu Yuting.
Although Liu Yuting took over Li Shishi’s role, the legal representative of the center remained Li Shishi, and Madame Wang wasn’t focused on this small center either, so she did not adjust Director Li’s team. Li Nansheng remained the second-in-command at the center.
Knowing that the Big Boss had already approved the matter, Director Liu went along with it and handed it over to Li Nansheng.
Li Nansheng casually contacted two elderly patients, who especially missed their homes, crying themselves awake in the middle of the night longing for their children.
Upon hearing about live streaming, they instinctively opposed it, especially the old lady, who was very image-conscious. After getting cancer, she became emaciated. Seeing her children was one thing, appearing in front of a live audience… not a chance!
But upon hearing that the center could connect with their children through the live streaming, the old man couldn’t sit still, “Okay, let’s do the live streaming, and by the way, we can promote our center, letting more patients know its wonders.”
“Let’s skip the promotion,” Li Nansheng replied with a smile, “Our center is fully booked at the moment, we are too busy.”
The old man’s family was quickly contacted. When they heard they could see the old man in the live stream, they agreed without hesitation, and within ten minutes, sixty to seventy family members joined in.
The old man’s family was large: six sons, five daughters, nearly twenty grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and he also ran a processing factory with seventy to eighty employees.
Among his grandchildren, many were homebodies who didn’t visit him often in the hospital, but joining a live stream… it couldn’t be more convenient for them.
Each person who joined greeted the old man on the screen, and next to the old man was Lin Heihu wearing a big mask and sunglasses.
The Earth Deity was somewhat knowledgeable about live streaming—he had painstakingly earned a few thousand yuan with a banned account.
Thus, while he read messages, he briefly explained the old man’s condition—identity and the like were certainly concealed. In fact, he mentioned very little about the condition’s changes and let the old man speak for himself.
