Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 48: Chapter 46: Off-the-Charts Popularity

The sides of the livestream room.

Everyone was dumbfounded!

”Deputy Manager Lu!”

”What are you doing?”

”Why are you up there?”

None of the dozens of colleagues present had any idea what Lu Li was trying to do.

You’re not a professional host.

This is the company’s first public livestream sales event.

And the daytime promotion was also for Blaze Baby.

Now you’re going up there, leaving aside whether you’re professional or not.

Will those Blaze Baby fans not seeing who they wanted to see not curse you to death?

Especially Manager Zhou, whose face turned pale in an instant.

He could even foresee how President Liu would question his competence as the department leader tomorrow.

Three seconds.

Two seconds.

One second.

The livestream started.

At this point, no one could interrupt Lu Li’s stream.

Manager Zhou and many others were literally on the edge of their seats.

Afraid of the Blaze Baby fans bombing the livestream.

For instance, accusing the company of riding on their popularity, which would have an even worse effect!

Leaving it to fate.

Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, and dozens of other colleagues had almost given up.

Lu Li looked calmly at the livestream camera, and said lightly: ”Good evening, welcome everyone to the Vox Home Life Livestream Sales Event, I’m your host tonight, Lu Li, pleased to meet you.”

The livestream room had over a hundred hardcore Blaze Baby fans who had been eagerly waiting and were ready to gift Blaze Baby as soon as the stream started.

Who would have thought, it was a strange young man’s face that appeared.

The fans were stunned!

”Who the hell is this guy?”

”Where’s my Blaze Baby?”

”Get down, we want to see Blaze Baby’s hot dance sales performance!”

A few fans were heckling.

Manager Zhou and Vice Manager Lin were already frowning deeper, as they watched the chat from the side screen, thinking it was all over.

But just then, a message popped out of nowhere.

”Yo, isn’t this the guy who assisted the police in cracking the dismemberment and dumping case?”

Upon hearing this, many of the Blaze Baby fans who were clamoring were astonished.

”Dude, what’s going on?”

”What dismemberment and dumping case?”

Seven or eight people were over there, asking questions.

The person who spoke earlier responded, ”Just yesterday, there was a report from Jiang Province about a dismemberment and dumping case, it was trending on Douyin, aren’t you guys following the hot news?”

”Wow, that’s so sensational?”

”I have to go and search it up.”

A few Blaze Baby fans quickly exited the livestream room, seemingly to search for the trending news.

Manager Zhou and Vice Manager Lin, who had been watching the side screen, exchanged glances.

This was not at all like what they had anticipated with the Blaze Baby fans causing a stir!

But the crisis was not yet over.

This group of middle and senior company leaders, along with dozens of colleagues, all held their breath and continued to observe.

At this moment, Lu Li was naturally introducing his company’s product, ”This is our company’s flagship product, the robotic vacuum cleaner. It combines automatic cleaning with human intelligence, requires no manual intervention, and completes the sweeping and mopping in one step. It also offers four operating modes—spot, edge, thorough, and automatic cleaning—fully freeing your hands...”

As he spoke, he even placed the robotic vacuum cleaner on the floor, demonstrating it to the audience.

At this moment, the few people who went to search for the trending news returned.

”Damn! Great God is awesome!”

”This guy is truly a big shot!”

”Impressed, I am truly impressed.”

A few people exclaimed in shock with messages.

Some Blaze Baby fans who had stayed in the livestream room and didn’t know what was going on started asking around, seeing these people so excited.

”What’s going on?”

”What the heck happened?”

Soon someone explained the countryside dismemberment and dumping case in detail.

Over a hundred viewers in the livestream room were stunned after hearing it!

Let alone the viewers.

Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, and other busy colleagues who hadn’t followed the news had no idea Lu Li was so capable, assisting rural police in solving a sensational dismemberment and dumping murder case a few days ago!

Manager Zhou turned to the side and said weakly, ”Deputy Manager Lu is that impressive?”

Vice Manager Lin looked confused and said, ”I’m not sure.”

Xiaoqing, Brother Cheng, and others knew about it.

But they never expected that Lu Li’s assistance to the police in cracking the dismemberment and dumping murder case would probably become the turning point for the company’s livestream tonight!

Of course, whether it would really become the turning point, for now, no one present could be sure, they could only continue to watch the situation unfold.

The livestream room was already buzzing.

”Big shot, how did you solve the case when even the city’s criminal investigation team had no clue?”

”Yeah, big shot, don’t sell stuff, just tell us about it.”

”Oh, I’m so curious, Mr. Host, please tell us.”

The audience seemed to have forgotten their initial purpose for coming to the livestream room, each one coaxing.

Seeing everyone’s interest, Lu Li smiled and said, ”Since you’re all interested, I’ll introduce the products while chatting with you about it briefly.”

...

On Weibo, a post emerged!

A well-known Weibo influencer named ”Case Solving Pioneer” exclaimed, ”Brothers, you wouldn’t believe what happened, the great Lu Li who was reported yesterday on the Jiang Province report about solving the canal dismemberment and dumping case is livestreaming now, telling about his case-solving experience!”

This influencer had given very correct opinions in several network-hyped murder cases before and already had many followers.

This time, with ”Case Solving Pioneer” announcing it on Weibo, many people noticed the matter.

”Oh my god!”

”Instantly sharing!”

”Great God Lu Li is actually live streaming?”

”Let’s go, let’s see how he’s solving the case!”

”I’m extremely curious about this case. When it first happened, TikTok was flooded with speculation about what went down, but the city detective team couldn’t give any answers and claimed there weren’t any clues. Yet, who would’ve thought, overnight, it was solved by the Land God!”

”Yeah, Great God Lu Li solving this dismemberment and murder case is truly astonishing. I can’t stand it, I’m going to the livestream right now to hear what he says.”

At first, it was just many people interested in crime-solving sharing the stream.

However, as the buzz grew, many people found out that the shocking dismemberment and murder case that shook the internet was actually solved by an ’amateur’, and suddenly, there was even greater curiosity.

A large crowd flocked into TikTok.

Flooded into the Vox livestream room.

Eager to find out what was going on.

...

Almost simultaneously, the comment section and pop-up comments in the Vox livestream room exploded like a tsunami.

”I’m here!”

”Here to see what Great God Lu Li looks like!”

”Wow, Great God Lu Li is so young and handsome?”

”Really? Is he truly the Great God Lu Li?”

”Didn’t you watch the Jiang Province news on channel one last night? Great God Lu Li is indeed this handsome!”

”Oh my, I think I’ve fallen for Great God Lu Li’s good looks, I want to have his babies!”

”Same here!”

”Same here +1!”

”I’m here, I’m here.”

”How did Great God Lu Li solve the murder case?”

A group of people who rushed over were shouting excitedly.

The comments were refreshing rapidly.

The pop-up comments occupied the entire screen!

At the same time, the number of viewers in the livestream room was skyrocketing.

Seven hundred people!

Two thousand people!

Five thousand three hundred people!

In just a few minutes, the number of people in the livestream room shot up from just over a hundred to over five thousand three hundred.

And more new viewers continued to flood into the livestream room.

Manager Zhou’s heart was trembling as he watched.

Vice Manager Lin couldn’t believe his eyes and rubbed them, feeling like he was in a dream.

The rest of Brother Cheng, Xiaoqing, and the dozens of other people were all dumbfounded.

These colleagues never expected that Lu Li would have such high popularity!

Lu Li was explaining the process of solving the case, ”...How could there possibly be no clues at all? So, my classmate Wang Yu and I thought that it was highly likely the killer used the waterway to dispose of the body... following the trail... we eventually discovered some meat at the slaughterhouse’s sewage outlet, and I believed it likely contained human tissue from the victim...”

”So that’s how it is!”

”Great God Lu Li, your deduction is quite impressive!”

”Yeah, who would have thought the killer would dispose of the body using the waterway over several kilometers.”

”Thinking of disposing of the body using the waterway isn’t unusual; what’s unusual is being able to discover the connection between the victim and the nurse through tiny clues and then tracing it all the way to finding the victim’s human tissues. That is truly impressive!”

The audience was amazed.

What they didn’t know was that Lu Li had actually used his superpower to find the answer and then reverse-engineered the explanation for everyone, so it sounded exciting.

Lu Li seized the opportunity to raise the product in his hand, ”To be pure is to be clean, and our home should be clean too. Vox’s robot vacuum cleaner makes your home look brand new!”

”Pfft!”

”Not selling, not selling!”

”Streamer, keep telling the story, we’re here to hear about the case.”

The crowd jeered, with no one actually placing an order.

At this moment, someone even made an untimely comment, ”Hah, now everyone with some fame comes to peddle goods, it’s the tragedy of our times. I thought someone like Great God Lu Li, who solved such a sensational internet case, would be different from the ordinary folks. Never thought he’d be so mundane! Mundane! It’s simply insufferably mundane!”

Well, there’s no need to say it; it’s clear this guy’s a troll.

Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, and others frowned, ready to have the troll kicked out of the livestream room.

Unexpectedly, Lu Li stopped introducing the product and sincerely responded, ”Firstly, I’m not selling goods because I’m famous; I’m doing it because I work at Vox. Fame is just something that happened to me during my time off. Besides, it’s not my first time being famous. If anyone followed the Nathan hotdog challenge, you’d certainly remember who I am, right?”

Someone in the livestream quickly caught on, ”Oh crap, I was wondering why Great God Lu Li looked so familiar, turns out you’re the one who won the Nathan hotdog challenge?”

Another comment popped up, ”Holy, that insanely scary competitive eater is actually Great God Lu Li?”

Upon hearing Lu Li mention it himself.

And seeing the audience talk about it.

Many people’s memories quickly recalled the recent buzz.

”Huh?”

”The weirdo who ate 101 hotdogs in the Nathan hotdog challenge was Great God Lu Li?”

”Oh my god, how does Great God Lu Li straddle such diverse fields, first winning a competitive eating contest and then assisting the police in solving such a complex murder case, and now even livestreaming and selling products. It’s like your presence is everywhere on the internet.”

These are the viewers who know the situation.

Some, who had no idea about the Nathan hotdog challenge, were stunned the moment they heard that Lu Li ate 101 hotdogs in ten minutes.

Many, unconvinced, left the livestream to search for the news.

After reading the news and returning, they were thoroughly convinced of Lu Li’s prowess.

Soon, many began calling their friends and family, inviting them to witness what Great God Lu Li, the all-in-one competitive eater and Sherlock Holmes, looked like!

The number displayed in the livestream room ascended like a rocket!

Seven thousand people!

Nine thousand people!

Thirteen thousand people!

Half an hour later.

The number of viewers in the livestream room skyrocketed to a staggering twenty thousand!

Manager Zhou’s heart was trembling with excitement!

Vice Manager Lin widened his eyes, unable to believe the numbers!

Brother Cheng, Xiaoqing, and the other dozens of colleagues nearly fainted.

They never imagined that Lu Li, hosting the company’s product livestream, would have it unexpectedly turn into a fan meeting!

The audience had reached twenty thousand!

This matches even some well-known game streamers!

Such a large number of viewers in a product livestream is simply incredible!

Could it be... our company’s product livestream is going to get popular because of Lu Li?

Manager Zhou, Vice Manager Lin, and everyone else had a dreamlike thought in their hearts!
