Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly - Chapter 183: Dark Street Trading

“Thanks.”

Gu Yi nodded and left the gambling house under Er Gou’s watchful eye.

Er Gou finally took out a voice recorder, merely as a warning.

Since Gu Yi decided to work with Er Gou, he had to accept Er Gou’s constraints.

The conversation between Gu Yi and Er Gou clearly violated the set of A-level rules. If Er Gou released this recording, Gu Yi would undoubtedly be captured by the robots.

Whether Er Gou would be punished was another matter.

The night had deepened.

Gu Yi glanced at the wall clock. It was already 11 p.m. Instead of wandering outside, he returned to the Dark steet.

To his dismay, the cardboard bed he had painstakingly assembled was gone.

“Damn, someone stole the cardboard?”

Gu Yi cursed under his breath and began to wander around, looking for more cardboard.

…

“If you keep dawdling like this, don’t bother coming to work anymore. You’re really asking for a beating!”

It was 10 p.m., and Kanon had just finished her day’s work.

She had never done physical labor before and had no advantage compared to the seasoned workers.

While others could finish their work in ten hours, she needed to work overtime for two more hours to complete hers.

Leaving the mine, Kanon returned the breathing apparatus. After a twelve-hour shift, she had only earned a nine-year sentence reduction.

“Damn it, how can people live here…”

Kanon sat at the corner, on the verge of falling asleep from exhaustion.

She had intended to continue tracking Er Gou today, but he had eluded her with his twists and turns, almost making her dizzy. It seemed she had misjudged him.

Er Gou was an expert. With her poor physical condition and skills, she had no chance of following him.

Kanon squatted by the roadside, crying out of frustration.

She hadn’t expected the world to be so harsh. Having never faced such difficulties, she was on the brink of a mental breakdown after just one day.

“It’s so cold…”

It was the middle of the night, and the cold wind howled through the streets. She went to the Dark street hoping to find a place to stay but couldn’t afford it.

Kanon tried to look pitiful and ask for shelter, but the landlord pushed her away with disdain.

“Wanna sell yourself? There are plenty of bar girls in the next street, maybe they can introduce you to a good job!”

“Damn it…”

Kanon left cursing under her breath.

Are all the men here monks?

Am I that ugly?

Kanon walked to a nearby puddle and observed her reflection in the dim moonlight.

Although she looked haggard, as long as she had a bit of makeup she would definitely be more attractive. But the question is, where would she get the sentence reduction to trade for cosmetics and beautiful clothes?

Swoosh—

Kanon heard some strange noises behind her.

She quickly straightened up and hid in the shadows. Her small frame was invisible in the dark.

“Brother Gou, the goods are here.”

“Not bad.”

“Do you need more?”

“I’ll take as much of these ores you have.”

“The supervisor has been strict lately. I could only bring out this much. I’ve been hiding them in my fingernails, scraping them out little by little. The quantity isn’t much, but it’s all high-quality stuff.”

“Hmph, funny. You really think I can’t tell how you brought them out?” Er Gou scoffed, “Ten years.”

“That’s too little!”

“The energy in the stones has been mostly absorbed by you. The quality is too low, it’s only worth this much.”

“Add a bit more.”

“No bargaining.”

“Damn… T-091, do you still want it?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll bring you some tomorrow, same time.”

“Fine.”

Footsteps approached.

Kanon held her breath and watched the street corner.

A miner walked past her, not noticing her at all. She recognized him as a coworker from her mine.

“So that’s how it is…”

Kanon nodded thoughtfully, a bold plan forming in her mind.

…

In the real world.

The next morning.

Xi Wang arrived at her workstation early and noticed that there were significantly fewer comments in the live stream.

“What’s going on today? Has everyone turned over a new leaf? Why so quiet?”

“There’s been trouble, captain.”

“What happened?”

“Several countries have gone into civil war, and they’ve all gone offline from the live broadcast.”

An agent handed him a list, and Xi Wang glanced at it.

Kimchi Country was offline.

An Eastern European country was offline.

And three Nordic countries were offline.

In just one day, five countries on Earth had descended into civil war. So far, everyone had refrained from using weapons of mass destruction, but it was uncertain how long this restraint would last.

“Sigh… I bet fifty cents…”

“Shh—”

The agent made a silencing gesture, glancing warily behind Xi Wang.

Xi Wang quickly shut her mouth.

“Morning, team leader!”

“Morning.”

Qu Kangping nodded, smoking a cigarette and looking at the documents in his hand. As usual, he sat in the conference room, turning on the monitor first thing.

“It seems like there are fewer comments today…”

“Yes, team leader.” Xi Wang handed Qu Kangping the latest report, “These countries are at war, and it seems to have affected the channel to the weird world.”

Qu Kangping glanced at the report and then continued to watch the screen.

The channel was currently focused on Dennis, who, thinking no one was watching, began stuffing ores into his mouth and swallowing them raw.

The comments exploded with surprise.

“Damn? This move seems familiar?”

“Did he learn this from Gu Yi?”

“6666…”

On the other side, Gu Yi was also hiding ores, but his actions were more elegant. If it weren’t for the ability to rewind the broadcast, it would be impossible to see how he hid them.

“Gu Yi’s secondary talent is so powerful?”

“He’s stealing ores right in front of the supervisor!”

“Insane, absolutely insane!”

Comments from around the world were mostly negative, except for those from Dragon Country, which were all positive. This wasn’t just because Dragon Country hadn’t been invaded by the weird power, but also because the Strategy team force had acted swiftly and had caught a bunch of keyboard warriors.

Now inside the broadcast, it was time to clock out.

The supervisor looked at all the miners with a sinister gaze and coldly announced:

“Recently, there have been thefts in our mine. So starting tomorrow, everyone must strip naked for inspection before leaving. In three days, we’ll receive a high-precision ore detector, and from then on, everyone must pass in front of it every day after work. Understood?”

“Yes!”

“Everyone, strip. Even your underwear.”

Gu Yi frowned, “Damn, am I going to be exposed to the whole world?”

Reluctantly, Gu Yi stripped naked.

A row of question marks appeared in the comments.

Xi Wang leaned forward, watching the screen regretfully, “Damn, why did the comments suddenly increase? Look at his ass, those glutes… Tsk tsk tsk… Really burns the eyes, I’m not watching anymore.”

Xi Wang covered her mouth.

“Why are you covering your mouth instead of your eyes?”

“Because… is it any of your business?”

When caught, Xi Wang rolled her eyes at her subordinate.
