Summer weather changes quickly. Just as Li Ran finished his work, the sky turned gloomy in an instant.
Winds howled around the mountain peaks, clouds surged like waves—giving off an overwhelming sense of impending storm.
Li Ran hurriedly carried the newly built refrigerator back into the kitchen, carefully placing it down, then ld in the ribs along with various fruits and vegetables.

"Huh?"
Li Ran blinked in surprise at the system notifications.
"The weather turning shouldn't be my fault, right?"
But he quickly realized—it probably had nothing to do with the weather.
Most likely, his old classmate and her daughter had just returned home, opened the lid of the gift he sent over, and got scared half to death by the eels inside…
Li Ran chuckled. "Sending a gift and getting frustration points in return—my old classmate's a real gem."
Hanhan was still napping, so Li Ran didn't disturb him. After finishing his chores, he opened his livestream.
"Hello everyone, I'm Li from Shiyu Mountain."
In an instant, more than ten thousand viewers poured into the stream!
"Hi, streamer!"
"Babe, I just dreamed about you!"
"Have you been working, streamer? You're all sweaty."
Li Ran said, "We're having a downpour on the mountain right now—come take a look."
With a thought, he switched to Camera One's outdoor feed.
"Whoa, that's a lot of rain!"
"Looks like someone's dumping water from the sky!"
"Streamer, be careful up there! And don't let Hanhan run off in this weather."
"So, are we telling the streamer to stay safe or to take care of Hanhan?"
"Isn't that vegetable garden from yesterday going to get wrecked?"
Li Ran replied, "Don't worry—those vegetables are growing strong, and they've got fruit trees standing guard. This bit of rain won't do any harm."
The camera turned toward the vegetable garden, and viewers quickly noticed the difference.
"Wait… is this still the same garden I saw yesterday? Why does it look so lush now?"
"Hey, remember that guy who said the soil was too poor for farming? Come out here and take your slap!"
"When did the streamer sneak in and transplant all those fruit trees?"
"Peach trees, plum trees, loquat trees, mango trees, watermelon vines, grapevines… That's a full-on orchard now!"
"I only took a nap and everything changed—streamer, are you secretly a god?"
"Half a day to finish a vegetable garden, half a day for a fruit orchard—his work ethic is through the roof!"
Li Ran smiled, "You're in luck today. After the rain, crayfish like to come out for a cool down. When it stops raining, I'll take you all to catch some."
"Did he just say catch crayfish? I'm intrigued."
"It's pouring out there—stay safe, streamer."
Li Ran: "No worries, I'll wait until the rain's over. I've got it under control."
World Vision sent a rocket gift.
World Vision: "Li, I've sent you the contract. Take a look."
Li Ran: "Does the contract include a confidentiality clause?"
World Vision: "Nope. Why do you ask?"
Li Ran: "Then let's look at it together. If everything checks out, I'll sign it live."
[Frustration Points +20 from World Vision, Money +100]
Li Ran immediately opened the contract he received backstage, switched to Camera Two, and zoomed in to share the full document with his viewers.
"Everyone, read it carefully—don't let our streamer hubby get taken advantage of!"
"This segment's called 'Spot the Red Flags.'"
"Livestream contract signing—now that's something new."
Li Ran wasn't an expert, but some of his viewers were. As they read along, they began to analyze:
Lawyer Zhang: "Clause one states that the photographer is an employee of the platform. That's inappropriate—it should be revised to collaborator or partner."
Lawyer Zhang: "Clause two mentions revenue sharing after deducting all operational costs. That's highly unreasonable. First, no one knows what those costs include—easy to manipulate. Second, if they're too high, the creator could end up losing money."
Lawyer Zhang: "Let me give an example. Harry Potter is one of the most successful children's in the world. Its author became a billionaire. But operationally, the series actually ran at a loss for a time. If they deducted 'operational costs' first, the author might've ended up broke!"
Lawyer Zhang: "Just recently, a certain livestream platform sued a creator for 30 million in 'operational fees.' That's a real case—things like this need to be guarded against."
"Wow, we've got a legal expert in the house. I learned a lot just now!"
Lawyer Zhang: "I'm no expert—just a small-time lawyer. I also started livestreaming. If you're curious, feel free to check out my channel."
World Vision: "Our platform is very fair—we'd never pull stunts like that."
Lawyer Zhang: "Good intentions must be reflected in the contract, not just words."
Lawyer Zhang: "Also, clause seven says the photographer has no right to publish their own work elsewhere. That's really unfair. Take that photo from yesterday—it was first shown in the stream. According to this clause, the streamer's already in breach…"
After half an hour of review and summarizing, Lawyer Zhang identified more than a dozen clauses that needed to be revised or deleted outright.
World Vision ended up contributing over 200 frustration points…
But to their credit, the platform responded well. Before long, they provided a revised version. Li Ran shared it again for audience review. Once everything looked good, he signed it live.
"Didn't expect signing a contract to be so exhausting. I'm thirsty—time for some ice-cold watermelon."
"Ice-cold watermelon? Does the streamer already have a fridge?"
The drone followed Li Ran outside and revealed the new 'refrigerator' on stream.
"Whoa! He really has one!"
"Wait… why does it look so weird though?"
Li Ran: "I built this fridge earlier today using cedar wood. It's got an insulated surface and retains cold quite well."
"Hold on, did I hear that right? Cedar wood?"
"You call that a refrigerator?"
"Haha, I'm dying—this is just a wooden toy, isn't it?"
"Streamer's pulling our leg again."
Li Ran was speechless. "When have I ever tricked you guys? This really is a refrigerator. And it cools incredibly well!"
"If that wooden box can really keep things cold, I'll tighten my belt and send a rocket!"
"I'm in!"
"Count me in too…"
Yukinoshita Is My Wife: "I'll send ten rockets."
"Whoa, Yukino's back again!"
"She's already lost two or three bets. I've got a bad feeling…"
Yukinoshita Is My Wife: "Relax, no way I lose this time. If I do, I'll livestream myself washing my hair upside down!"
Li Ran shook his head helplessly. He could already see a wave of frustration points coming his way…
