Chapter 61: Just Tell Me If It Breaks the Law or Not?

Chen Ze appeared on the screen wearing a blue firefighting uniform.

The netizens in the livestream instantly lost their enthusiasm.

Wait, the mystery guest is a guy?

What happened to the promised female streamer?

"??????"

"I took off my pants just to see this?"

"Change the disc, host, we want to see the pretty girls."

"What kind of show is this?"

"Judging by the uniform, it must be the fire department."

"Holy crap, you even managed to connect with the fire department, streamer, you're done for!"

"The streamer has really made something of himself now, hooking up with the fire department."

"Is there any possibility that the fire department has made something of themselves, hooking up with the streamer?"

The viewers in the livestream were clueless.

Chen Ze was also somewhat surprised.

He had done his homework and knew that Wei Xiu was a prominent local internet celebrity with over a million followers.

However, he had never expected Wei Xiu's audience retention to be so high.

Just a random livestream connection brought in fifty thousand online viewers instantly.

It made even him feel a bit nervous.

"Hello Brother Wei, hello everyone in the livestream."

Chen Ze feigned composure and introduced himself cheerfully.

"I am from the Linyang Fire Department."

"It's an honor to connect with Brother Wei."

"Today, I mainly want to give Brother Wei a little quiz."

"Answer all the questions correctly, and there are prizes!"

Watching Chen Ze wave the doll in his hands, the audience in the livestream finally began to understand the situation.

Actually, similar livestream connections were quite common.

Popularizing fire safety knowledge through connections with entertainment streamers—especially in the Tianjin region, where this routine had been played out in countless ways.

"To be fair, the little firefighter is also quite handsome."

"Still a bit lacking compared to our host."

"Hey upstairs, go eat something good."

"Where is my Brother Wei lacking in looks? Drooling over the screen!"

"Please exercise some restraint, my friend from Sichuan-Chongqing."

The bullet comments began to calm down.

Wei Xiu had already prepared himself mentally.

When the Linyang Fire Department contacted him, he had a rough idea of the livestream's workflow.

He figured they were all locals, so he should help out wherever he could.

Besides, he had also prepared a gift for the Linyang Fire Department.

Bring it on!

"Alright! I accept your challenge!"

Chen Ze's lips curved upward.

"Please listen to the first question, Brother Wei!"

"Suppose the sundries piled up in the stairwell of your apartment building catch fire, what should you do?"

Without even thinking, Wei Xiu replied, "Find a fire extinguisher and put it out!"

"Wrong! Sundries shouldn't be piled up in the stairwell in the first place."

Wei Xiu: "?????"

The bullet comments also began spamming question marks.

"???"

"Not bad, little firefighter, digging traps like a pro!"

"Hahaha, the host's expression is killing me, screenshotting this for a meme."

"I thought it was going to be a boring lecture, but the showmanship is actually pretty good."

Chen Ze continued, "Suppose, Brother Wei, the cooking oil in your kitchen catches fire, should you use hot water or cold water to put it out?"

Wei Xiu didn't answer rashly, pondering for half a second: "There's a trap here, I'll go against common sense—hot water!"

"Wrong! A grease fire should be smothered with a pot lid."

Wei Xiu: "?????"

Wait, so your entire act is just filled with traps everywhere?

I finally get it.

Don't let this firefighter's clear and handsome features fool you; he's full of tricks.

"Fine, fine! Playing like that, huh? I've already figured out the pattern, bring on the next question!"

Chen Ze: "Please tell me, if natural gas leaks in your home, what number should you immediately dial?"

"Dial one-one—wait a minute!"

Wei Xiu wore an expression of profound cunning.

The next second!

A flash of inspiration hit him.

"This is a trick question!"

"If natural gas leaks in your home, you shouldn't be making a phone call at all!"

"Give me a round of applause, everyone!"

The bullet comments were completely dumbfounded!

"66666!"

"As expected of my Brother Wei, his brain reacts so fast!"

"Good grief, if it were me, the fire department would have played me to death!"

"What kind of thought process can come up with these questions?"

"Asking for a friend, why can't you make a phone call when natural gas leaks?"

"Because using a mobile phone can generate electrical sparks, easily causing an explosion."

Watching the heated discussion raging across the bullet comments, Chen Ze felt utterly pleased.

As expected of a major Linyang internet celebrity, he really has substance!

Not to mention his massive popularity, he also knows how to make the show entertaining.

They had barely asked a few questions, and the engagement in the bullet comments was already maxed out.

By the end of this livestream, regardless of whether the [Linyang Fire Department] account gained followers or not, the promotional objective was definitely achieved.

The entire livestream room was discussing fire safety knowledge, filled with positive energy.

Seizing the moment while the iron was hot, he pulled out a set of fire blankets from the side.

"Brother Wei, if you only have one set of fire blankets at home, would you put it in the bedroom or the kitchen?"

"The kitch—" Wei Xiu slammed on the brakes immediately. "Wait a minute!"

Something was wrong.

This kid across the screen was deeply malicious.

If you answer with common sense, he plays anti-common sense with you.

The crucial part was that he genuinely didn't know where a fire blanket should be placed.

Time to seize the initiative!

"I am a dignified streamer with a million followers, is it reasonable for my house to only have two sets of fire blankets?"

Chen Ze: "???"

Wei Xiu: "Don't speak, I'm putting a set in every single room. Is that answer correct?"

Chen Ze was a bit stumped, pausing in silence for half a second: "What if we only have one? What if I don't want my house to look so messy?"

Wei Xiu: "Little bro, stop talking so much. Just tell me, is it illegal if I install a dozen or so?"

"Well, that's not illegal."

Chen Ze laughed bitterly and helplessly.

Installing a dozen really wasn't illegal.

The problem was that I needed to use this question to deliver the answer and educate the public.

If you install a dozen, I won't be able to popularize the knowledge.

"Well, how about this, brother."

Chen Ze regrouped.

"You have the means, but we have many brothers in the livestream who can only afford to buy one."

"In that case, where should it be placed?"

Wei Xiu acutely seized the opening to retort: "Are you saying that the loyal brothers in our livestream are all broke fellows?"

Chen Ze panicked instantly: "I didn't! Brother! I didn't mean that! Listen to me..."

Wei Xiu chuckled and interrupted, "You really have a good eye for people; the loyal brothers in our livestream are indeed all broke fellows!"

Broke fellows: "???"

"Wait, why are you roasting us while answering the question!"

"Stop talking, Brother Wei, that cuts deep."

"I looked it up on Baidu, a fire blanket costs over 20 yuan."

"Good grief, that's my cigarette money for a whole week, can't afford it, can't afford it."

"Hey upstairs, what are you smoking? Tree leaves?"

Seeing that Chen Ze was panicking, Wei Xiu immediately stepped in to ease the atmosphere.

"Look, suppose the loyal brothers in the livestream are all broke fellows and can only afford one fire blanket."

"How about I gift them a set?"

"Keep two sets at home as a staple: one in the bedroom, one in the kitchen!"

"Is this answer standard or not?!"

???

Chen Ze was dumbfounded.

The livestream room, however, burst into laughter.

"The little firefighter has met his match."

"Gifting a whole set, seriously?"

"Isn't this much more entertaining than watching pretty girls?"

"Honestly, the Linyang Fire Department really struck gold, connecting with the craftiest streamer in North China."

The bullet comments surged.

Chen Ze's inner thoughts were surging as well.

This livestream was undoubtedly a success.

When he took this livestream recording back to report to Captain Qian, wouldn't the captain be begging to promote him and give him a raise?!

"Brother! I surrender!"

"Then I'll just announce the correct answer directly!"

"If there is only one fire blanket at home, it should be placed in an easily accessible location."

Wei Xiu's wicked scheme had succeeded: "Look at that! That's what I was thinking in my heart too."

Chen Ze: "Brother, I have one last question."

Wei Xiu: "Come at me!"

"Please tell me, what colors do fire extinguishers come in?"

This was a giveaway question.

Fire departments everywhere had previously been popularizing knowledge about fire extinguishers.

Many people in the bullet comments knew the answer.

Wei Xiu knew it too: "Fire extinguishers come in many colors! Red! Yellow! Green—"

Chen Ze couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Brother, you did your homework, answer correct..."

Before he could finish his sentence,

Wei Xiu suddenly interrupted, "And camouflage!"

???

???

Chen Ze was startled for a moment, then immediately smiled: "Brother, fire extinguishers don't come in camouflage."

Simultaneously, Wei Xiu reached his hand underneath the table.

"Portable single-person shoulder-mounted fire extinguisher!"

"Look at it, is it camouflage colored or not?"

"Answer me!"

"Look in my eyes!!"
