“So fast?”
Even John was shocked by the system’s reminder.
He had been live streaming for so many days. Only by accumulating popularity could he trigger a lucky draw.
This time, in just two hours, he had accumulated more than 300,000 Popularity Value.
John looked at the number of people online. At this moment, it had reached more than 10,000.
The most surprising thing was the gifts he received. In about two hours, he had received more than 50,000 yuan.
With this amount of gifts, John had earned more than 20,000 yuan after a 50-50 split with the platform.
This made John secretly happy but also made him feel a little speechless.
‘If I knew this would happen, why would I still go to work? A few hundred yuan a month was not worth my life.’
When he worked as a small clerk in the big city, a month’s salary and bonus added together was only a few hundred yuan.
Then, in these two hours of live broadcast, it was directly worth John’s salary for several years.
Hearing the system notification, John did not hesitate to agree to the lottery draw.
The live broadcast system set the price for the lucky draw to be 100,000 Popularity Value each time. If it was 300,000, then it could be drawn three times in a row.
“System activated, opening the first lottery draw for host.”
“Ding, dong, congratulations host, you have received a bottle of Holy Potion.”
“The system is opening the second lottery draw for the host.”
“Ding, dong, congratulations host, you have obtained all the knowledge in the Monster Encyclopedia.”
“The system is activating the third lottery draw for the host.”
“Ding, dong, congratulations host, you have obtained the spell: Psychokinesis!”
Just as John was thinking about what he could do with all this, the live broadcast system was very tactful and gave a description of each prize.
[Holy Potion]: “It can instantly replenish your physical strength, strengthen your physique, and increase your strength. It is a must-have good item at home or outside. Other than these effects, the taste can also be delicious.”
[Monster Encyclopedia]: “After learning it, the host will be able to recognize all monsters. No animal or plant in the demon world, including magical herbs, can escape your eyes.”
[Psychokinesis Magic]: “You can remotely control any object you want to control. The initial level is lower and you can only control a short distance. However, as the level evolves, the area that you can control will expand.”
Oh my God!
John could not describe his shock and ecstasy.
‘As expected, with the live broadcast system in hand, I can actually obtain godly skills that can only appear in movies. This is too amazing!’
John could still understand the Holy Potion and the Monster Encyclopedia.
However, John still had some doubts about how this Psychokinesis worked.
Although he had some doubts, John still accepted the prize without any hesitation.
In an instant, countless pieces of information about the demon world gushed into John’s brain. The amazing thing was that even though so much knowledge flowed into his brain, it was not messy at all. It was as if he had sorted out the categories and outlines in his mind, clear and profound.
Then, a bottle of water appeared under his feet. The water was contained in a mineral water bottle that he normally drank at home. There was not much difference. It was just a green dot on the bottle cap.
“This should be the legendary Holy Potion, right?”
John mumbled to himself.
Then, a magical feeling appeared. John felt his entire body burning up. A hot air current spread to his entire body. John felt his body burning up and through.
His body seemed to be changing. He could not tell what it was, but he felt an invisible force supporting him. His body instantly felt as if it was lighter by more than ten kilograms, and he felt light when he walked.
Moreover, his lower body, from his thighs to his calves to his feet, was suddenly filled with endless strength. It was as if he could fly again with just two light steps.
John instantly understood.
It was not that his body had become lighter, but that his Meditation Realm had improved. That was why he felt that his body had become more than ten kilograms lighter.
He raised his head and looked at the high mountain range of Mazalorat Mountain. He could not help but feel that he could control anything with the magic he had obtained. He could try to pluck pomegranates from the tree next door one day.
John looked forward and saw a flower on the calm surface of the lake.
The flirtatious flowers made John want to give it a try.
However, it was still a live broadcast. It would be best if he could succeed. It would also help him increase his popularity. However, if he failed because he had not found a way to use it for the first time, it would be embarrassing.
The popularity that he had worked so hard to accumulate could not be easily destroyed.
Therefore, John decided that after the broadcast ended, he would personally try the Psychokinesis.
While John was still immersed in the lucky draw, the popularity of the live broadcast room did not decrease at all.
The netizens were all curious about what kind of person this handsome young priest was.
“The young priest is too cool. He didn’t say a word. Could he be mute? Can a mute pray for the world?”
All kinds of guesses kept popping up in the comments.
“I don’t think he’s mute. It would be a pity if he were mute. He’s so handsome and has a mysterious power? I guess he’s an arrogant and cold person.”
“Streamer, say something. I gave you a large airplane. Don’t you have to give me some face?”
“My Lord, I pray to you. I really don’t want such a handsome priest to be mute. If he could speak, his voice would definitely be very nice.”
…
Looking at the comments that said he was mute, John did not know whether to laugh or cry.
John finally woke up from his stunned state and began what he thought was a serious live broadcast.
Since he had to rely on live broadcasts to earn a living, he definitely had to be dedicated to his work.
He began to chat with everyone and awkwardly explained the fact that he was not mute.
Then, he began to chat with the netizens.
His soft, gentle, and magnetic voice spread in the ears of the netizens, and his attitude was very much like that of a gentleman who had practiced over and over again.
John’s attitude was kind, but his words were very humorous.
Anthony Boxing Club rewarded him with a big plane.
He also left a message. “Streamer, come live to my place, I can give you a high salary.”
John smiled, feeling a little disdainful in his heart.
‘I won’t be fooled by your gift-giving. If it was in the past, I might have gone to your place. Now, I really don’t care about your smelly money.’
“Thank you for your support, brother. I’ve clicked follow for you.”
Sexy Wildcat also gave John a large airplane.
A message was also left. “Is the streamer a mysterious superhero?”
John shook his head.
“My grandfather is my superhero. He is the priest of the church at the foot of the Mazalorat Mountain. He has lived for more than 90 years and has already gone to heaven.”
“I have inherited my grandfather’s church now. I hope that everyone will follow me in the future.”
As soon as John said this, the live broadcast room was filled with comments again. Some people even believed John’s handsome appearance.
“Wow, so the streamer priest’s grandfather is really a superhero. It reminds me of spiderman or Ironman.”
“No wonder the streamer priest is so powerful. It turns out that he has been training with this superhero grandfather since he was young.”
“The streamer is really a priest. It’s too surprising. I’ve never seen a priest doing a live stream before. I have to pay more attention to you.”
“No, handsome, I don’t want you to be a priest. I want to marry you.”
…
John looked at the large group of female netizens in the live broadcast room and was amused by them.
“Does everyone have some misunderstanding about priests?”
“I’m not really that professional as a priest. According to the requirements, I might not be able to get married, but if I really meet my true love, I believe that my Lord will forgive me.”
“However, I really don’t have any thoughts of finding a girlfriend right now.”
“I just hope that I can protect the church that grandfather left behind and help him save the world.”
When John said that, many of the female netizens in the live broadcast room were overjoyed. If that was the case, then there was still a chance.
Then, there was another wave of new gifts.
In the live broadcast room, the number of netizens continued to pour in, and the number of online viewers went straight to the 20,000 mark.
John’s followers had also gone from a few hundred people to 12,000 people.
John also noticed that his Popularity Value, which had just been depleted by his lucky draw, was rising rapidly like water boiling.
In just a short while, his Popularity Value rose to more than 20,000.
He turned on the live broadcast and chatted with the netizens. When he felt thirsty, he picked up the holy potion and drank it.
With this one sip, John only felt a cool sensation, which directly hit his heart. His fatigue and discomfort were gone in an instant.
His strength was abundant in all his internal organs, and all the joints in his body seemed to have been nourished.
Most importantly, he could clearly feel that his strength had increased a lot in his body.
As the sun rose in the morning and the weather was getting hotter, John announced that his morning meditation was over and he planned to return to the church.
John slowly got up, but he did not realize that the green grass under him seemed to be more vibrant and lush than before.
At this moment, two or three blond children ran towards John, shouting as they ran.
“Brother Priest, help! Someone fell into the water!”
These children were only wearing a pair of swimming trunks. Their wet hair hung down on their faces, and they looked very frightened.
John was also shocked and quickly walked over.
“What’s wrong? Who’s in danger after falling into the water?”
The leader of the children was so anxious that his already fair face turned even paler, but his words were still logical.
“It’s Louis. He took a bath by the lake at the foot of our mountain. He doesn’t know how to swim, but he went into the water.”
“At the beginning, he was playing in the shallow water area. For some reason, he slipped into the deepwater area. We watched him sink.”
Hearing the child’s words, John’s heart became anxious.
The water of Hill Lake was clear and cold.
When summer came, many naughty children in the nearby villages would sneak into the lake to swim.
Of course, John had done this when he was young, but he had not tried it since he was reprimanded by Grandpa Robert.
Almost every year in the lake, there were children who drowned in the lake because they played too much, but they still could not be stopped.
John grabbed the arm of the leading child.
“Quick, take me to take a look.”
The netizens in John’s live broadcast room also exploded when they saw this scene.
“Oh my God, is there such a thing? Can the streamer priest swim? Does he look super handsome in his swimming trunks? I can’t wait to look at his abs.”
“Dear priest, you have to be careful. Hurry up and call for help. Is there still time if you call now?”
…
With a human life, John could not care less about the comments in the live broadcast room. He pulled the child and ran wildly towards the foot of the mountain.
His feet were relaxed, and he ran as fast as he could. If it were not for his tight grip, the leading child would have fallen down. He was like a fast-running horse could leap more than ten meters in one leap.
The small drone flew high in the air, and the camera on the drone was aimed at John.
From a distance, John saw a child struggling in the water about 20 meters away from the shore.
He sank into the water and then tried his best to jump up.
However, just as he was crying, he sank into the water and was gulped down by the water.
In the live broadcast room, countless netizens saw this scene.
Everyone was nervous and worried.
Yet another barrage of comments filled the screen.
“Oh my God, isn’t this child going to die? Who can save him?”
“Streamer priest, listen to me. Don’t go into the water.”
“Out of survival instincts, a drowning person’s explosive power is not something you can imagine. Although he is just a child, he will definitely drag you into the water.”
“Streamer priest, please don’t go into the water. See if there are ropes and poles for him to throw.”
“Upstairs, is there such a long rope in the wild at the foot of the mountain? I think the distance is over 20 meters.”
…
The live broadcast room was in chaos, but John had already retreated more than 200 meters.
He noticed that there was a broken wooden board under the ground for some unknown reason and picked it up.
Then John threw off his shoes, took a deep breath, and made a dash for the lake?
Like a leopard!
Like a tiger!
Like a gust of wind!
Like a blinding fire!
Finally, he turned into a flash of light and dived into the water.
