I Livestream Funeral Goods and Become a Hit in the Underworld

Good news: Qi Lin graduates and inherits the family business outright.

Bad news: The family business is a funeral goods shop.

Even worse news: Qi Lin's parents put a down payment on a house and a car, and now he is stuck with a mortgage and car payments totaling 8,000 yuan a month!

Qi Lin, a graduate of a second-rate university who has just received a job offer with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan: "..."

Let it all burn!

The shop has a backlog of funeral goods. If he can sell them all, he'll make 10,000 yuan.

With all that pressure bearing down on him, Qi Lin goes crazy and takes his roommate's joking suggestion: before Ghost Festival, he'll livestream and sell funeral goods!

At first, bored netizens stumble across his livestream by chance and nearly wet themselves at the sight of those eerie paper offerings.

"Damn, I was just about to say the streamer is handsome and I'd buy anything to support him, but then..."

"Hahaha, the streamer sure is a character, but who'd buy this stuff?"

"Streamer, you should just change careers. You'd make more money as a sexy male model."

Later:

"Holy crap, I'm the one who bought the streamer's paper phone out of curiosity. My grandpa came to me in a dream and said that this Pear 20 is great. He's been watching videos nonstop down there!"

"Some relative of mine, I don't even know which branch of the family, came to me in a dream, crying and begging me to burn them a copy of A Guide to Passing the Underworld Civil Service Exam. They're studying for the underworld civil service test."

"Haha, I scared my son in a dream, and finally got myself one of the streamer's paper male models! Eight-pack abs, feels just like the real thing. Highly recommend!"

At first, when Qi Lin noticed some strange comments appearing in his livestream chat, he assumed the netizens were just making memes and paid them no mind. He was too busy being thrilled that his livestream business was taking off.

Until one day, a group of trolls hired to smear him broke down in tears, accusing Qi Lin of sending a ghost to scare them: "Its tongue was hanging down forever! Waaaah... It said I was bullying its favorite little streamer. Who knew ghosts could be fans too!"

Qi Lin was born with yin-yang eyes. To sell his funeral goods, he also "happens" to help callers deal with a few supernatural problems.

"So you're saying you dreamed the house your ancestors live in was leaking, and afterward your home turned into a waterfall cave...? Your ancestor came to you in a dream and asked you to burn them a new house, but you ignored them. Of course they'd keep 'reminding' you!"

"Miss, the ghost behind you says your boyfriend has been secretly mixing pig feed into your food. He's raising you like a pig."

At first, the viewers all thought Qi Lin was just showing off, until one day: "Oh my god, my mom asked why I was watching on my knees!"

"The streamer is incredible!"

Only later did Qi Lin learn that he had become a sensation in the underworld, and that his phone had accidentally connected to the underworld's network.

Qi Lin had already grown used to seeing ghosts, but now all kinds of ghosts with order inquiries kept showing up at his door every day...

Qi Lin: Aaaah! You ghosts demanding your orders, stay away from me!

Luckily, his childhood friend had a powerful yang aura. As long as Qi Lin cuddled up to him, he couldn't see the ghosts anymore.

Qi Lin: Cuddle time!

Si Yuanheng: I'm straight. But he's cuddling up to me. If I turn him down outright, will he be hurt...? Never mind, I guess being together wouldn't be so bad.

Qi Lin: What are you mumbling about? Hurry up and hug me!

Thanks to his huge success in the underworld, Qi Lin receives the title of "Underworld's Best Friend" from the authorities there, and from then on enjoys the benefits of an underworld civil servant.

Qi Lin carries a soul-hook in his left hand and a mourning staff in his right, with his childhood friend following behind him.

Ahem, let's add ghost-catching services too, available only to the shop's vvvvip customers.

Viewers: Holy crap, even funeral goods are selling out these days?!
