Song Tan’s Chronicle - Chapter 126.1

“What’s this?”

Song Sancheng frowned, “Why are his words bigger than the others and in color?”

Zhang Yanping’s expression was complicated. “That’s because this person tipped Qiao Qiao a hundred yuan.”

He pointed to the leaderboard beside it. “Uncle, look at our Qiao Qiao. He’s earning money now! Just from this one live stream, he received 1,600 yuan in tips. He’ll get at least 700 yuan after the platform’s cut—”

However, Qiao Qiao, who was streaming, didn’t recognize many words, and he was too focused on handling the honey to look at any of this.

On screen, he was wearing a mesh hat and let out a small sigh of relief before placing two honeycombs into the honey extractor.

Then, with a sense of accomplishment in his voice, he announced, “Now, Teacher Qiao Qiao is going to start extracting honey.”

Song Sancheng: ???

Is that it?

Is it really this easy for young people to earn money these days?

Zhang Yanping had a conflicted expression: No, it’s not that easy.

But, when it comes to making money, it’s a bit like farming—sometimes it’s just a little bit of a mystical art.

Song Tan simply stopped walking, and the three of them gathered in the bamboo grove, watching the live stream together, heads almost touching.

Zhang Yanping listened to the bursts of colorful fireworks on the stream, while Song Sancheng stared at Qiao Qiao’s blurred face on the screen and his serious actions.

Song Tan, on the other hand, was carefully watching the comments, trying to find the secret to making a fortune and attracting viewers.

She soon noticed that the top commenters on the leaderboard were saying this live stream had a magical quality that made them sleepy and provided a good rest…

She checked the duration of the stream—less than two hours. How long could such a good sleep last?

Then she looked at their names—

Oh, the top fan was called [Wish I Could Sleep Another 500 Years], the second was [Insomniac with Anxiety], and the third was [I Don’t Want to Keep Up But I Can’t Sleep].

She also noticed that one of the tags on the live stream was [White Noise].

Alright then, not only was this a countryside video, but also a sleep-inducing one—a single category with two different audiences.

But why?

Even though Qiao Qiao had been rejuvenated by the spiritual energy lately, it wasn’t like he could transmit that energy through electromagnetic waves!

It seemed that it was indeed his unique charm.

His voice was clear and bright, and since he was so focused, his speech had a steady, unhurried rhythm that had a sleep-inducing quality.

On screen, Qiao Qiao was turning the handle of the honey extractor, and the honeycombs inside spun with a slow and steady rhythm.

He didn’t speak further, but his expression was very serious. When the spinning finally stopped, Qiao Qiao spoke again:

“Okay, the honey is extracted. Now, we need to take the bees’ home out.”

He lifted the honeycombs from the extractor, and threads of amber honey dripped down, appearing unexpectedly clear and transparent even on the mediocre live stream camera.

The droplet hung for a moment and then fell decisively into the bucket below.

At this moment, Zhang Yanping, who had tasted the honey before, couldn’t help but swallow.

Sure enough, the comments were filled with drooling emojis.

Then someone asked:

[Host, are you selling honey? How much is it?]

More and more people asked, but Qiao Qiao wasn’t even looking at the screen.

Only his earnest voice came through more clearly:

“There’s still some honey left unextracted, but that’s okay. We need to leave some for the baby bees to eat.”

“Alright,” he put the two honeycombs back into the hive and tidied it up before returning to the camera.

“Now, Teacher Qiao Qiao needs to go back and store the honey properly. This honey costs 1,000 yuan per pound. My sister says it’s very precious, so we need to take good care of it.”

“Kids, Teacher Qiao Qiao’s class is over.”

He said the class was over, but he didn’t realize he needed to end the live stream, so he continued cleaning the honey extractor.

For a moment, the comments paused.

Just then!

A huge dog head suddenly popped out from the bushes nearby.

Then came a soft “Woof.”

Qiao Qiao immediately put the bowl he was cleaning aside. “King, why are you here?”

King slowly emerged from the bushes, its massive body making the viewers in the live stream forget about the shocking honey price and gasp in awe—

[Is this a dog? Is this a dog? How could a dog be this big?]

[Whoa, it’s so big! What kind of dog is this?]
