The champions of arguing, even more refined than MSG, rubbed their eyes hard, their vision sharp as ever.
But they were utterly stunned.
Flames were burning, yet no props were visible, not the slightest flaw!
How was this possible? How could there be a magic trick with no flaws in the world?
Did you see clearly?
Bai Ye held two piles of fire and waved them in the livestream.
Seeing a blank chat, with no one responding.
Thinking they hadn't seen clearly, he chuckled, "If you can't see clearly, then let's do it again!"
With that, Bai Ye waved his palms, scattering the flames.
He then displayed his hands to the livestream again.
Thousands of eyes stared intently. Under their concentrated gaze.
Bai Ye flicked his hand, snapped his fingers with a *da*, and a ball of blue flame shot up from his palm again!
"How about that? This is actually a very simple magic trick!"
Bai Ye spread his other hand, flipped it over, and indicated, "Anyone with hands can do it!"
The audience's heads buzzed: Simple? How is it simple? Are we blind? Why can't we see it?
"Say something, you lot!"
Seeing no reaction in the livestream, Bai Ye asked in confusion.
Hearing Bai Ye's question, the livestream erupted, and everyone finally reacted.
"This, this, this..."
"No way! Is this, is this real? Am I seeing things, everyone?"
"No! You're not seeing things! We all saw it! The streamer really conjured fire!"
"Blue flames! So beautiful!"
"Aren't these flames fake? Aren't they props themselves?"
"Right! Streamer, you've been holding them for so long. If they were real flames, your hands would have been burned long ago!"
In their shock, some began to doubt if Bai Ye's flames were fake.
Moreover, the doubts grew louder.
"How can they be fake?"
Bai Ye responded.
Saying that, he withdrew the flames from his right hand, bent down, and picked up a few petals.
"Everyone, look closely. See if the flames I conjure can burn these petals."
"Burn, burn quickly!"
"We're watching!"
Thousands of people in the livestream stared intently.
Bai Ye placed the petals on his left palm. The petals instantly ignited and, in the blink of an eye, turned to ash!
Audience: !!!
Another wave of astonishment.
"These petals burned too quickly! Did everyone not see clearly?"
Bai Ye turned his gaze, spotting several stranded oysters (sea conches) on the beach near the sea, with rough, flat, grey shells.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up.
He hadn't finished his meal yet!
"Then let's burn them again!"
Bai Ye withdrew the flames, ran over, and picked up oysters from all around. In a short while, he gathered a small handful and washed them several times with seawater.
"Are these oysters?"
"The Pacific oyster, a type of thick-shelled, tender-fleshed sea conch! It has benefits like beautifying the skin and aphrodisiac effects!"
"Streamer, what are you going to do?"
Bai Ye licked his lips.
And said, "The streamer will show you a live broadcast of grilling oysters with bare hands!"
Saying that, Bai Ye held seven or eight oysters in his hands.
After reminding the audience to pay attention, in the blink of an eye, blue flames began to burn vigorously on his palms again.
The oysters' shells began to char at a visible rate.
Within a few breaths, the shells of the oysters flipped open one by one, revealing the tender oyster meat.
A waft of aroma emanated.
Witnessing all this with their own eyes, the audience's eyes widened like bells.
"Holy crap! These flames feel hotter than my home's natural gas fire!"
"Damn! These are real flames!"
"This, this is truly grilling shells with bare hands! My heavens! Streamer, even the movie special effects people aren't as exaggerated as you are!"
"Streamer, 666!!"
"This is the true art of fire control!"
"No wonder the streamer dared to write such an arrogant title! Strongest Flame Magic, Bar None! It lives up to its name!"
At this point, the audience was completely convinced that the flames in Bai Ye's hands were real flames.
The arguing champions, the nitpickers, were stunned. They stared at Bai Ye's palms, observing and contemplating, then were bewildered.
"Even through the screen, I can smell the roasted meat!"
"Brother Ye is amazing! But, Brother Ye, are your hands really okay?"
"Yeah! Streamer, the oyster shells are burnt to a crisp, are your hands really alright?"
"Of course, they're fine!"
"Magic, I'm a professional!"
Bai Ye stared intently at the oysters in his hands. His stomach rumbled uncontrollably.
"Why do I hear the streamer's stomach growling?"
"Haha, the streamer is hungry!"
"The streamer is pretending to perform magic, but is actually grilling!!"
About ten seconds later.
"They're cooked, they're cooked!"
Bai Ye withdrew the flames, found a dry spot on the beach, sat down, and placed the oysters down.
Then he picked up an oyster to show.
Although the oyster shells were charred and broken, the oyster meat inside was slightly shriveled, with a golden-yellow hue of being cooked, juices bubbling, plump and tender!
"See, the doneness, just right!"
Saying that, Bai Ye slurped one towards the screen.
The entire oyster meat entered his mouth, and a fresh, tender seafood flavor spread throughout his body.
"Mmm~"
"Gulp~"
Watching Bai Ye eat with relish, countless people swallowed hard.
"Holy crap! The streamer's hands are really fine! Amazing!"
"Wuwuwu~ It looks so delicious! Big Wind Novels"
"My tears are streaming uncontrollably from my mouth. No, I need to order takeout, seafood!"
"Brother Ye, can you save one for me???"
"Little Ye, if you grill one for me personally, I'll give you 100 Carnival gifts."
"Wow! The rich lady upstairs! How about I do it for you? I'm attentive!!"
"Bro! You're acting weird!"
He turned into an eating broadcast, taking one bite after another, and soon the small pile of oysters was finished by him with great enjoyment.
Wiping his mouth, he stood up.
At this time, the number of viewers in his livestream had unknowingly increased to over 6,000, doubling!
This level was equivalent to a streamer with a million followers!
The gift revenue had also exceeded 3,000 yuan, and after sharing with the platform, it was over 1,000 yuan!
And it was almost zero cost. He had finally achieved profitability!
This was only the beginning.
However, what he valued most now was no longer the gift revenue.
Relying on rich women to give gifts meant he would have to repay them in some way eventually.
Whether it was "Sister is very fierce" or "36D's tenderness," after they gave gifts, didn't they always try every means to lure him out? They wished they could drain him dry!!!
Therefore, he never actively or implicitly encouraged rich women to give gifts. If he really put out the word, he could easily get tens, even dozens, of Carnivals each stream!
Income, and future advertising fees, endorsements, or sales, were the proper, sustainable income for streamers!
As for reputation, it had also reached over 20,000.
Bai Ye was filled with energy.
In the livestream, new viewers, upon hearing that Bai Ye possessed the miraculous art of fire control, were filled with curiosity and begged him to demonstrate it again.
[Chief Instructor of the Brothel sent a Sports Car x1]
Chief Instructor of the Brothel: A small gift with great meaning. Please, streamer, perform your art of fire control again.
[Gentleman is Naked sent a Private Jet x1]
Gentleman is Naked: Streamer, if you satisfy my curiosity, I'll send you another Carnival!
Instantly, the gift revenue soared, and the livestream's popularity also rose rapidly.
The number of viewers finally broke the 10,000 mark!
Seeing so many wealthy patrons appear, Bai Ye's expression was filled with surprise.
"Since everyone likes it so much, I'll perform it again!"
"Friends who like it, please click to follow and join my fan club."
"Look closely!"
Thousands of pairs of eyes focused on him.
"Whoosh~"
On Bai Ye's hands, two balls of blue flame ignited vigorously.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"
"You can really control fire? Were the oysters the streamer just ate grilled with this fire?"
"Damn! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe it?"
"Brother Ye is too handsome!"
"Brother Ye, please accept my bow!"
The livestream vibrated.
Suddenly, the livestream's gorgeous stage effects accompanied by music rose, twice in a row!!
[Gentleman is Naked sent Carnival x2]
"Streamer is awesome!! I'm switching my fan status on the spot."
A wave of other gifts, including various sports cars, jets, 520s, and more, also poured in.
"Thank you, Egg buddy, for the Carnival. Thank you all, family members, for your support."
This batch of gifts, worth nearly ten thousand, made Bai Ye a little excited.
"Brother Ye's magic is too amazing! So amazing that it makes me suspect he's performing magic!"
"Seriously suspect the streamer is performing magic under the guise of magic! But I have no evidence!"
Someone in the livestream jested.
Bai Ye, with an unblinking face, replied, "Magic? Where is there magic in this world? Everyone is a pillar of society who has received nine years of compulsory education. We must believe in science!"
Saying that, Bai Ye flipped his hands, and a large ball of fire rose. After fiddling with it for a while, it actually formed a blue lotus.
"This flower is for everyone."
The blue fire lotus was pushed out and slowly dissipated.
Like a fleeting beauty, it was extremely enchanting.
Over ten thousand viewers couldn't sit still.
"Awesome! Streamer, this is clearly magic!"
"I can't see the mystery at all! I suspect I'm a fish that slipped through the net of nine years of compulsory education."
"Me too."
"+1."
"+9999."
"Is there any knowledgeable big guy who understands? Please come out and analyze the streamer's fire control technique!"
