Chapter 776: Crazy Live Broadcast Room, Boring Live Broadcast

Tanaka has long grown used to the insults on the subtitles—who made his father‑in‑law's example so formidable?

He's always being scolded, yet he's never actually been scolded.

You keep scolding, I'll keep playing.

Soon Tanaka began to sing.

"I am the wild grass by the roadside, watching the rise and fall of the past like a path……"

………………

"I am the traveler on the way, watching the swaying green grass like life……"

………………

"This wild grass, this traveler, this road, this fate……"

………………

The song floated, simple yet sincere; Yang Qing listened, as if he saw the world's happiness, joy, worries, despair……

All kinds of flavors, in the end everything returns to blandness.

Tanaka had put all his feeling into it.

Even though the Live Broadcast Room still had insults, many people still sensed the story in the song.

It was Tian Yu speaking of himself, of you, of him, of all beings……

Soon the song ended.

The red envelope time also arrived.

People no longer bothered to scold, they were frantically clicking the red envelopes.

After receiving the red envelope, what followed was a bout of showing off, then envy, jealousy, and hatred.

After envy, jealousy, and hatred, another wave of insults arose.

Yang Qing watched, and for no reason burst out laughing.

Then he said to Tanaka:

"Do you say they won't go crazy?"

"One moment angry, the next excited, then showing off, then cursing……"

"With so many emotions, the switch is completed in just a few short minutes."

"I feel they're even more impressive than you actors."

"People, how interesting."

Tanaka looked at the over ten million online viewers, feeling excited yet distressed about the money.

"Dad, I feel we're being a bit underhanded."

"One side giving out money, the other exposing ourselves, inviting scolding."

Yang Qing put on an innocent look.

"This blame's on me—wasn't it you who exposed yourself?"

Tian Yu felt helpless.

"You also have no choice—we've both been exposed; if I don't say it, they can still find out."

"Better to say it ourselves."

"Be it beating or scolding, I can only endure it."

Yang Qing comforted him.

"Who in this life can truly be open and aboveboard?"

"Fate branches into many roads; who hasn't taken wrong turns? With the Dao in heart, the side paths will return to the right way."

"Don't use past punishments against yourself; walking well the present path is the proper thing."

Tanaka pointed at the Live Broadcast Room.

"Dad, are we now on the proper path?"

Yang Qing stuck out his neck.

"Balancing wealth, of course is the proper path."

"Whatever mood they have when grabbing the red envelopes, that's their problem, none of our business."

"They spend the money they got on food—that's good; they spend it on clothes—that's also good. Food, clothing, shelter, transport are the basics of life; giving them relief improves their lives, which is naturally good."

"If they use that money to take drugs, gamble, bully others, that's evil—but it's their own evil, none of our concern."

"Some who snatched a big red envelope went to study, start a business, resolve company difficulties—that's great good."

"Whether studying or starting a business, they're adding value. Learning raises their skills, thus the wealth they can create grows. Starting a business meets market demand, enriching material or spiritual life, and can create jobs, giving more people a chance to demonstrate their worth."

Tanaka is a good straight man.

"Dad, isn't work oppression?"

"Most people in the world are tired of work."

"Yet you say work is an opportunity to display one's worth!"

"Aren't you just beautifying work?"

"You'll be scolded again."

Yang Qing laughed.

"People themselves are products of value orientation."

"Since humanity began, a person's worth has been the sole reliance for survival."

"In the past, those without worth were to be discarded."

"This value orientation is actually wisdom."

"You can imagine what state a person who is not needed is in."

"Many people begin to doubt life, feel they are superfluous, which can make one's mood depressed and melancholy; in severe cases, it leads to suicide."

"Being unneeded makes a person feel empty and without a sense of existence."

"Humans are social animals; having one's own value affirmed is an important component of life's meaning."

"Imagine, if in a matter you played a decisive role, that pride, that happiness, that excitement can elevate the whole person—from body to soul."

"Work is one of the important ways to exercise one's own value."

"Everyone despises work, not because of work itself, but because the work is meaningless."

"For example, in work, unnecessary socializing, unnecessary meetings, seniority‑based hierarchies that block you from exercising your value, your value not being affirmed, or your labor results being stolen, repetitive tasks that cannot reflect your true value…"

"Work itself is not the problem; the problem lies with people and the environment."

"After snatching the red packets and getting tired of swearing, the two listeners were completely baffled by Yang Qing's point."

"Subtitle:"

"I feel what he said makes a lot of sense."

"I want to refute it but have no way to start."

"Are they a husband and wife doing a talk show?"

"Once, work made me happy; later life made me work."

"I'm not annoyed by my work, but I'm annoyed by my company and colleagues."

"He's right; giving money is good, but using money to lure us is wrong."

"Right, he's just playing a monkey."

"Then why did you come?"

"For the red packets."

"You can leave, you can choose not to be played."

"Sigh, life has many divergent roads; if I don't enter hell, who will?"

"Damn it, stop whining, taking other people's money, cursing their mothers; they're not good, and you think you're good?"

"Good and bad—how can they be judged that simply?"

"This person is very earnest, very sincere, very rational, very…"

"But he is ultimately just himself; soon, the shouting drowns everything again."

"Having money is wrong, your sarcastic attitude is wrong, we just don't want to listen."

"We've gotten used to sucking on nipples for fun; you give us blunt, hard‑to‑swallow advice?"

"Get lost."

"You'd be better off joining this segment, the Purple Lightning Divine Thunder Purple Thorn Hammer…"

"When the mic is raised, who can rival?"

"What are you singing, 'Thus I Am'? I don't understand it; it's not pleasant at all."

"You're on a script, you act ambiguous, you argue, you pick fights, you toe the line, you jump at every shock, you…"

"You don't make a program, you just send red packets?"

"You have money, you deserve it…"

"Is the streamer a bit stupid? You send red packets but don't pull a segment? Ask for follows, ask for gifts, set a target—like how many follows, how many likes, how many people in the Live Broadcast Room—so you can't blame others for criticizing you. Are you stupid?"

"Brothers, this is the most boring live broadcast I've encountered, yet also the most exciting."

"Do you know how much money I received?"

"764,364 yuan, damn it, other Live Broadcast Rooms require spending money, but this Live Broadcast Room lets you pick up money."

"Having money, being willful."

"The Yang Family is truly lavish."
