The End of the Universe Is Live-Streaming E-commerce – CH63

Chapter 63: The 63rd Day of Livestream Selling

After several parties sat down and had a serious talk, everyone finally more or less figured out the current situation.

For example, because of certain accidents, Reinhardt’s brain had developed a tiny little problem.

Grand Duchess Elowen first apologized to Lin Zhao for choosing to hide the truth from him earlier. Just as she was about to continue explaining why, Lin Zhao had already expressed that he did not mind. Because he felt the matter was indeed awkward. “I completely understand all the concerns and considerations you had as an elder sister for your younger brother.”

He felt Elowen had not told him because she had thought that once her younger brother recovered, he would quietly go back, and no one would discover this dark history. She just had not expected Lin Zhao to more or less cure Reinhardt, except for his brain.

It was also obvious what Elowen had been busy with during this period. She had definitely been avenging her younger brother.

The matter must be very complicated. It really could not be explained clearly in one go. Perhaps even Grand Duchess Elowen herself did not necessarily know the whole picture. They would only know once Reinhardt was completely recovered.

“I’m also very willing to continue taking care of Lenny while you’re busy.” Setting aside the friendship between him and Reinhardt, and setting aside how much help the Reinhardt siblings had given him before, just the enormous sum Reinhardt had swiped away earlier to buy the recovery medicine meant Lin Zhao could not possibly ignore him. “I’ll find a way to cure him. Please don’t worry.”

Elowen glanced at her unlucky younger brother, who was baring his claws and brandishing his fangs at her from somewhere Lin Zhao could not see, and thought to herself, I’m not actually that worried.

Before hanging up the call, Grand Duchess Elowen once again expressed that she felt sorry for troubling Lin Zhao. She would definitely come and take her younger brother away as soon as possible.

Theoretically speaking, the ever-vigilant Lin Xiang would definitely oppose something like this, feeling it was full of all kinds of hidden risks. But today, he was unusually silent throughout the entire conversation.

Because…

He thought that the person who had caused Reinhardt’s amnesia was his brother.

He already knew his brother had awakened a healing ability. So far, Lin Zhao was the only known healing type in the world, and an S-level healing type at that.

And from his observations, his brother’s wide-ranging ability seemed to have a suspected debuff that could make the person being healed lose their memory. It did not happen to everyone, so there was probably a certain probability.

Just think about it. First there was 1114, and now…

“My name is Reinhardt, not Mimi?” Lenny Cat was sitting beside Lin Zhao, trying to circle the fragrant Lin Zhao into his arms while looking puzzled. “Why change my name?”

Lin Zhao did not know how to explain either, so he could only ask back, “You don’t like it?”

It was not that he liked or disliked it. Compared to studying his own name, Reinhardt preferred trying to use his tail to circle Lin Zhao’s wrist—because Lin Zhao had refused to keep holding him on the grounds that he was a person. He had thought becoming human was very convenient before, but now all that was left was dislike. Reinhardt said without much interest, “Whatever you call me is fine.”

Lin Zhao froze. “But that’s your name.”

“But generally, you’re the one calling it, aren’t you?” Reinhardt, logic master of Yasa, said this with complete confidence. He had already been very easily coaxed back into happiness because although Lin Zhao had refused his cuddles, he had not refused his tail.

Lin Zhao’s wrist was truly slender.

“Ahem.” Lin Xiang had no choice but to interrupt the two of them before their conversation headed in an increasingly strange direction. “Since we’ve pretty much understood the situation, I think there’s still one more important thing we need to do.”

“What?” Lin Zhao froze.

“A physical examination.” Although the whole world knew that after drinking the intermediate recovery potion, Lin Zhao’s genetic collapse would be cured, Lin Xiang could not truly feel at ease until he personally saw the examination report.

When Lin Xiang said this, Aunt Lin had also already woken up.

Not long after Lin Xiang had rushed over yesterday, Aunt Lin also arranged the work she had on hand and took leave to come over. She stayed by the sleeping Lin Zhao and took care of him for an entire night, only returning to her room to rest a little this morning.

This day was an extraordinarily important day for Lin Zhao. Or rather, it was very important for their whole family.

After Lin Zhao nodded, the medical team that had been waiting outside for a long time pushed in all kinds of professional instruments. They gave Lin Zhao a thorough full-body checkup from head to toe. By Lin Zhao’s request, they also checked Reinhardt, who really did not seem to have a very good brain right now.

Reinhardt instinctively wanted to hiss at people. It was only while Lin Zhao was holding his hand that he behaved a little and cooperated with the examination.

“Don’t be afraid.” Not only did this amnesiac Reinhardt seem to have an imprinting complex toward Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao himself seemed to be filled with some damn sense of responsibility toward Reinhardt from who knew where. One was willing to hit, the other was willing to be hit. No matter how much Lin Xiang disliked the sight, for his brother’s sake, he could only pinch his nose and endure it.

Reinhardt, however, only stubbornly asked, “Will you keep holding my hand?”

“I will.”

Only then was Reinhardt satisfied. But no matter how much his imposing face tried to pretend otherwise, his swaying tail had long betrayed his extremely delighted mood.

First the tail, then holding hands. Was being held all the time still far away?

Lin Xiang: “…”

Although he had no evidence, he had reasonable suspicion that this scheming fellow’s true objective was exactly that! How despicable!!!

Anything related to Lin Zhao was of utmost priority, so his examination results came out immediately.

Everything was normal.

More precisely, he had truly become healthy again. There was no illness, no pain, and even the various physical wear and tear inevitably accumulated through growth had disappeared. Every function of his body had reached the peak state he could attain.

The most typical sign was that Lin Zhao no longer felt tired after walking just a few steps.

In the past, Lin Zhao had thought he was like that because he was simply a low-energy introvert. Now he finally realized… it really was just because he lacked exercise, stayed at home too much, had insufficient qi and blood, and was too lazy even to get angry with people.

Now he had once again regained the feeling he had back in his senior year of high school. His entire body felt incredibly light and full of strength.

Of course, he still did not particularly like working.

But Lin Zhao did not mind working, in light of what his brother had told him. They had made a major discovery, and he personally had some wondrous guesses about it through those Yasa novels Elowen had given 1114.

Yes, Lin Xiang had finally read those novels and discovered what Elowen had wanted them to discover from the beginning—the descriptions related to spiritual power.

This not only further confirmed that A Country, which had suddenly wanted to reform the natural ability ranking system, was indeed colluding with some alien force, but it also allowed Lin Xiang to open his mind through some fictional plot points and develop several unverified conjectures and ideas about their current situation.

Lin Zhao was very willing to help his brother verify them.

By expanding plane trade again.

The expert team had originally planned to take a steady and cautious route, studying slowly and conquering one plane at a time. But clearly, they no longer had that much time. They needed to establish contact with as many other planes as possible.

And as Lin Zhao’s merchant level rose to Plane Tycoon, the number of planes he could keep connected suddenly increased from five to nine, meaning four more connection slots had been added.

He decided to open two first and see what happened.

As for what to stream, Lin Zhao had not fully thought it through. But if worse came to worst, he would water some plants. Stretch out one episode. Since streaming animals worked, why couldn’t streaming plants work?

Anyway, he would try first. If they could communicate, then communicate. If not, then change planes.

Compared to the expert team, who considered everything cautiously, Lin Zhao had always thought more simply. The expert team also approved of letting Lin Zhao rely purely on his instincts at the beginning. After all, he had performed very well in the previous planes, had he not?

Of course, it was also because the expert team truly had no other options.

From understanding Lin Zhao, to questioning Lin Zhao, to trying to change Lin Zhao, they had walked a long road. In the end, they discovered that changing themselves was much faster. Lin Zhao could not be changed, nor was there any way to change him. As his importance grew greater and greater, now it was not even just a matter of whether Lin Zhao himself wanted to. Even the higher-ups were afraid that Lin Zhao, the only healing type, would get tired.

They repeatedly emphasized that Lin Zhao’s burden should be reduced as much as possible. He already had enough to worry about.

Although, to this day, the expert team still could not figure out what Lin Zhao needed to worry about besides lying at home every day playing on his phone. Was it that he still had not caught the goose in today’s mini-game, or that he forgot to harvest the vegetables in his QQ Farm?

Codename: Zombie.

Civilization Level: Planetary Civilization.

Civilization Type: Extreme Crisis Survivalist Civilization (Biochemical Mutation Type).

Status Overview: A global biochemical crisis of unknown origin erupted. Overnight, more than 95% of intelligent life worldwide was transformed into monsters whose evolutionary instinct was to devour the brains of their own kind. They no longer feel hunger or pain. Life has been simplified until only two instincts remain: “survive” and “devour.”

Main Brain’s Comment: Some people are so stupid they’re worse than being eaten by zombies. At least that way, they’d look a little more dignified.

Plane Number: C—147.

Codename: Plant.

Civilization Level: Stellar Civilization.

Civilization Type: Symbiotic Civilization of Super-Lifeforms.

Status Overview: Carbon-based life is extremely rare in this plane, or has already been fully integrated into the plant system. The dominant civilization is a plant-based life network that has developed collective intelligence and can interact with the environment in complex ways. They are not “trees that think like humans,” but a special civilization that has taken plant symbiosis theory to its extreme.

Main Brain’s Comment: The sloth’s different-father, different-mother, different-species sibling. Anyone impatient will be driven insane here.
