"I'll let you take a look at the information first. Brother, check out my sister's details."
Yuming sent over his sister's information and boldly projected it onto the screen for everyone to see clearly, which showed his confidence in her.
Bai rolled his eyes at Yuming, thinking this was a backdoor move—first letting Lin accept a gift, then recommending her. It all felt suspicious, and naturally, some of the visitors were not pleased.
This approach was very controversial. If Yuming didn't quickly showcase some real talent to clear his sister's name, it might be quite difficult for this streamer.
Lin still carefully read through the information that Yuming had sent over.
The details were quite thorough, highlighting Yuming's sister's strengths, along with a supplementary attribute that made Lin envious.
Yuming's sister is named Yuning. Although she is a younger sister, she graduated from the academy a long time ago. By their Merfolk age standards, she should be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
Yuning is naturally stunning—a beautiful Merfolk who shares the same excellent genes as her brother Yuming.
In terms of talents, she excels in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting; after all, being from a prominent family means these skills are basic for them.
The saying goes that boys are raised poor while girls are raised rich, and the Rain Family is a perfect example of this. Aside from her talents, Yuning is also well-known for her "talent display"—showing off her wealth!
Showing off wealth isn't necessarily a good behavior; it's considered one of Yuning's talents here because she has generated significant influence through it.
In Oceanic Civilization, the Rain Family is top-notch, and everyone knows this, so their children attract much attention.
Among Yuming's generation of siblings, the most popular one is undoubtedly his sister, Yuning.
Yuning is not only cherished at home but also has quite a reputation outside. She has her own circle of friends, which naturally consists of noble social circles.
Here, Yuning stands out as one of the best and is respectfully referred to as "the Princess of the Rain Family."
The fact that she can be referred to as a princess indicates Yuning's high status in the noble circles. What Lin finds even more appealing is that she has her own social network.
On the largest social networking site of the Fifth-Level Civilization, Yuning is quite the celebrity, boasting over fifty million followers online. She is a candidate for a Streamer with an existing fanbase.
After reviewing this information, Lin couldn't help but gasp. Yuming truly lives up to the name, offering him a sweet yet sour experience akin to eating a sugar-coated sour date. Even knowing it might be unpleasant, he finds it hard to resist due to its enticing appearance.
"How about it, brother? Look at my sister; she excels in everything. Becoming a Streamer will be no problem for her, and she comes with her own fans, so you won't have to worry much. More importantly..."
"She can help me open up your civilization's market and lay down an important foundation for the development of the Hero Live Streaming Platform in the Primitive Star System. That's what you want, right?"
Looking at the smiling Yuming, Lin could see through his intentions. It was merely an attempt to win him over with this big opportunity, hoping he would assist him in the future.
The benefits of this opportunity are immense; it could accelerate the platform's growth, making it hard for Lin to refuse.
"You really have some good intentions..."
Lin sighed and helplessly continued, "Then call your sister out; I need to see her!"
In fact, Lin Xin had already accepted that as long as it wasn't too excessive, he could go along with it.
Thinking about it from another angle, Lin realized he was actually gaining a significant advantage. With Yuming's family's strength, they would hardly need to bother with being a female Streamer. This seemed like a one-sided benefit.
It also showed how much Yuming valued Lin by placing such a large bet on him.
"Yuning, come here quickly! I’ve accomplished what I discussed with you last time!"
On the video call, Yuming called out for his sister while moving toward the edge of the screen.
Once Yuming disappeared from view, Lin looked around at the decor of his home and thought to himself, "Indeed, they are wealthy!"
Yuming's home appeared to be filled with a fantastical atmosphere, with light blue walls that constantly changed and decor primarily featuring golden edges, showcasing intricate and ancient patterns that reflected the family's history.
This also allowed Lin to understand the power of the Yuming family from the side; he couldn't help but ponder why such a powerful family would want to collaborate with him.
In his thoughts, Yuming had already returned, dragging a girl along with him. The girl looked different from her photos, not as mature.
Yuning seemed to be just over one meter sixty tall, a stark contrast to her brother Yuming, who was over one meter eighty, creating a significant height difference.
Her playful face was filled with helplessness as Yuming pulled her in front of the camera.
"Bro, look, this is my sister. What do you think? Isn't she a beauty?"
Yuming seemed to be showing off, but Yuning turned her head away, clearly not giving Yuming any face. Pouting, she quietly said, "I don't want to be a streamer..."
"Cough, um, Yuming, are you sure your sister is okay with this?"
Although the voice was low, everyone present heard it, making things quite awkward. No matter how well the two had discussed it earlier, if she didn't agree, it was all for naught.
"She'll definitely be fine!"
With a grin, Yuming quietly tugged at his sister and whispered a few words in her ear. Only then did Yuning reluctantly turn to Lin Dao and say, "Hello!"
"Call him bro!" Yuming pulled her again from the side.
"Why should I call him bro? He looks like a kid; he probably isn't even twenty yet!"
Yuning's temper flared up as she completely disregarded the gazes of others, shaking off her brother's arm and turning her head away in anger.
Seeing this scene, Lin frowned slightly. If Yuning had this kind of attitude, there was no need for him to continue discussions with Yuming.
"Yuming, I think you should resolve your sister's issues first. I'll hold a spot for you here, but I need an answer by tomorrow. If not, I'll find someone else!"
Lin Ke was not one to have a good temper; he didn't have time for his older sister's tantrums. After that, he waved goodbye to Yuming and ended the video call.
This version of Yuning not only annoyed Lin but also drew the ire of the audience, who flooded the chat with messages urging Lin not to accept Yuning as a streamer.
What was supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement now seemed less than ideal. How to resolve Yuning's issues required careful consideration.
"Even if you don't like Yuning, at least give Yuming some support; after all, he's our top tycoon. Let's discuss this further tomorrow."
Lin glanced at the time; he had been streaming for over three hours and had been sifting through options. It was late at night, so he continued, "It's quite late now; everyone should get some rest. Once Yuming has made a decision, I'll make mine."
With that, Lin Ye ended the stream. After shutting down the live broadcast, he connected with Jiu'er via video call to discuss the details of their contract.
The two enjoyed a lively conversation, occasionally bursting into laughter.
Unbeknownst to Lin, someone had been standing outside for quite some time.
Dream Source lowered her head; she could hear Lin's joyful laughter. She had watched the earlier live stream and knew who Lin was talking to.
Dream Source raised her hand only to let it fall repeatedly. In the end, she bowed her head, bit her lip, and returned to her room.
If anyone had witnessed this scene, they would have noticed that there were some issues in their relationship. Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding, but the consequences of this misunderstanding were unpredictable.
...
...
At Yuming's home.
In the vast hall, only Yuming and Yuning remained, all the servants having been dismissed by Yuming. He appeared somewhat furious, his usually gentle and kind face now showing anger.
"Yuning, tell me why you rejected my offer to help you!"
Pointing at his sister, who was curled up on the large sofa, Yuming's anger was rising. The opportunity he had worked hard to secure was so easily squandered by her!
"I didn't realize your platform was such a place. That native from First-Level Civilization isn't worthy of me working for him!"
Yuning retorted confidently, casually picking up some snacks nearby and munching away.
"You! You! You've been spoiled by me! Spoiled by those old fools!"
Yuming's words were somewhat jumbled in his fury.
"Oh, so does that mean you are just as old as those old fools?"
As if she didn't notice her brother's anger, Yuning continued to be playful. After that, she resumed eating her snacks, crunching away...
"Give it here! Stop eating!"
Yuming quickly walked up to Yuning and knocked the snacks out of her hand onto the floor. He dragged his protesting sister, who shouted "What are you doing! Are you crazy! Yuming!" into a special room.
The room was dimly lit, and in the faint light, a spirit tablet could be seen with the inscription "Spirit Tablet of Lady Yuqi," clearly belonging to a certain lady of the Rain Family.
"Kneel before Mother's spirit tablet!"
Yuming said forcefully, causing Yuning to stumble. She began to realize that her brother was genuinely angry.
"Why do you always bring up Mother? You do this every time!"
Yuning's voice was tinged with tears. Although she was much stronger than Yuming, she did not retaliate at this moment, out of fear of her brother's authority.
Seeing his sister wipe her tears, Yuming's heart softened. His anger gradually subsided as he sighed and said, "Sister, I know you feel wronged, but you have to do this. It's for us, and for our deceased mother..."
Yuning fell silent, lowering her head, lost in thought.
Yuming took a couple of steps forward to stand in front of the ancestral tablet, gently wiping the photo on it. He spoke to himself, "I know you feel wronged. You think those old folks are favoring you because they see your talent and pamper you, as if they are doing us a favor."
"But don't forget how mother died; she was driven to death by those old folks! They would do anything for their own interests, and they might sacrifice you and me!"
"So we need to prepare for the worst. No matter how talented you are, you can't ascend to the position of family head. We still have the eldest brother, Third Brother, and that vicious Mother Tiger looming over us!"
"Therefore, we need to build our own power. Sister, go work under Lin as a streamer. Just trust your brother this time; I assure you he is someone who can change our fate!"
After a long silence, Yuning lifted her head and asked softly, "Brother, do you really want to be the family head?"
"I don't want to be the family head; I just want to avenge our mother. I want to take control of my own destiny. I want... I want you to find your own happiness in the future without being treated like a commodity."
Upon hearing this, Yuning's frail body trembled slightly. She slowly raised her head and said softly, "I understand now. Brother, just watch; I will make him unable to leave me. That way, he will have no choice but to fall into your plan, right?"
Yuming was taken aback. He snapped back from his hatred and turned to look at his sister. He saw her frail figure as if it were carrying a great burden. She bowed three times before the ancestral tablet and then stood up unsteadily to walk outside.
