I'm A Baller - Chapter 313
Chapter 313: Angel Descent
100 rockets was only equivalent to 50,000 yuan. This wasn’t enough to stun Triple Xin.
Never mind how he cheated by sending rockets to the livestreamers through the company backing him. Triple Xin was a true nouveau riche who had actually spent at least 3 million yuan on livestreamers.
It wasn’t rare to find so many top tier members present at the broadcast venue.
Moreover, Triple Xin was famous for his fiery temper and had never once been intimidated by others during a fight.
But things were different today.
Miss He was a completely unpredictable person.
She was merely a girl who had accompanied CEO Wang to the event. How could she have topped up more than 10 million shark fins by herself?
That didn’t make sense!
Logically speaking, CEO Wang must have been the one who topped up the money. He must be using her as a cover to avoid drawing attention to himself.
This was an old trick that Triple Xin had seen many times before. In fact, he had also done the same thing in the past.
But there was one problem. Miss He was merely a bait cast out by the guild, but the livestreamers in her guild were still fighting it out. Triple Xin couldn’t understand why she would still be bent on pitting herself against him by showing up in the newbie livestreamer’s server. “Is she insane or something?” he wondered.
CEO Wang would kill her after this!
“Damn it, but you’re really as pretty as a fairy… I suppose CEO Wang wouldn’t bear to do anything to you,” Triple Xin mused.
His thoughts were a mess and slipped into some lewd thoughts for a brief moment. However, he quickly snapped out of it.
This lass was simply carried away and was acting out of willfulness, didn’t she?
“She probably doesn’t dare to splurge elsewhere. She’s probably doing this to provoke me and to prove herself,” Triple Xin thought.
After reasoning things out based on his past experience, he concluded that this was a likely explanation for her behavior.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain her actions.
However, there was still one problem—he had no idea how much money CEO Wang had given her to spend.
This was the crux of the problem.
Triple Xin didn’t mind spending 300 to 500 thousand on a stranger just to spite someone else. He could afford that.
All eyes were on him and he had all the attention. Throwing a bit of money to feed his own pride didn’t amount to much!
Wasn’t it fun to pretend to be more impressive than you really were?
It was so much fun!
You could enjoy a moment of glory with each moment of boasting. So if one kept boasting, one would keep basking in glory!
However…
If CEO Wang had set a very high limit for the amount of money that Miss He could spend…
He knew that he wouldn’t be able to afford it.
Triple Xin’s main goal for today was to help Rabbit move up the rankings so that Rabbit would at least come in second on the list.
If he spent more than a million yuan elsewhere, he would have difficulty accomplishing his goal.
This was a dilemma for him.
Triple Xin had considered every aspect of the problem thoroughly.
Although he was ill-tempered and narrow-minded, he wasn’t a fool and had his own set of logic and habits when it came down to analyzing problems.
But he couldn’t afford to back down now.
Green continued to remain on her knees after kowtowing to Miss He in her livestream room and shifted closer to the chair before she huddled over its backrest and looked into the camera as she said,
“My almighty master, are you a gentleman or a lady?”
“Is my kneeling posture acceptable?”
“Don’t try to talk me out of kneeling. You’ll only be wasting your effort.”
“I’m going to do my livestream like this today. Nobody can persuade me to get up.”
“Hey, is nobody going to help pull me up?”
“Actually, I really want to get up, but I can’t. Oh my god, my legs feel so jelly…” Green lamented.
Miss He laughed until her face flushed red as she watched the antics that Green was pulling.
However, she did not forget why she was here.
“Brother Triple Xin, are you lost?” she broadcasted.
Despite how simple these three words were, they were rich with ridicule and everyone was overwhelmed with admiration for her.
Triple Xin’s eyes were bloodshot and he immediately made his way to Green’s livestream room.
The moment he charged into the room, he immediately noticed that the live comments on screen were nothing but those six damned words.
“Brother Triple Xin, are you lost?”
PFFT! He nearly felt like puking blood now.
Triple Xin used to gloat merrily when his folks made trouble for the others, but now, all he felt was agony.
He knew that he shouldn’t bother about them and should ignore the live comments, but he simply couldn’t control himself.
His eyes burned with fury as he sent out 200 rockets.
He then broadcasted, “Young lady, I’m just worried that you might overspend Master Wang’s money. I’m not going to stoop to your level!”
Green squeaked. Her eyes rolled as she fell to the ground.
Another big gift! She was so stunned that she fell and landed on the carpet with a thud.
Fortunately, the surface was flat and it doesn’t hurt.
By the time she scrambled to her feet, the server was filled with comments by fans egging on the fight.
“Wealth God, you’re the best!”
“Brother Triple Xin is flexing!”
“Don’t lose sight of your goal! Fight the Princess with everything you’ve got!”
Green had just resumed her original kneeling position was just about to thank her new idol, Triple Xin, when He Miaomiao stopped her with a live comment.
“The person I lured over is merely trying to find an excuse to teach me a lesson. Green, you should know who to thank, don’t you?”
“Of course,” Green thought.
Green was a witty girl and quickly figured out what was going on based on the current situation and the live comments on screen.
She immediately decided against thanking Triple Xin.
“Your Highness, I will remain the Princess’s servant in life and in death. From now on, men mean nothing to me.”
Everyone at Haidilao erupted into laughter.
All the guests present were fans of Wangting Entertainment and it was obvious who they supported.
Wang Yan couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head as he remarked, “This lass has a bright future ahead of her…”
Mi Zi and Ling Ya immediately gave the order, “My friends, lets show our sister some love here!”
Green beamed from ear to ear as her popularity and followers skyrocketed quickly. She began to yell out her gratitude for the attention and gifts showered upon her encouraged the audience to honor Miss He as she remained on her knees.
The fans began to laugh and cheer Miss He on.
PFFT!
Triple Xin felt as if he was about to throw up yet another mouthful of blood.
“F***! I’m the one spending the money but instead of receiving gratitude, I get teased by a low ranking livestreamer?” he cursed.
However, Triple Xin had no energy to be bothered by Green now. He Miaomiao was a bigger problem.
Miss He casually sent out yet another 200 rockets. She didn’t raise the stakes, but continued to spite Triple Xin.
“Master Wang’s money? Haha! I don’t think my lifetime is sufficient to exhaust my family’s fortune at the rate I’m sending out rockets now. Don’t use your limited and pathetic mind to estimate how much pocket money I’ve got, alright?”
“Swag!”
The server screen was flooded with the word ‘swag’ as everyone was won over by how cool she was.
There was no other better word to describe this moment.
While Triple Xin wasn’t about to throw up blood, he was livid.
Triple Xin had always been able to do and get anything he wanted throughout his past 30 years of existence. This was his first time he had been regarded with disdain.
Worse still, the one sneering at him was a young lady!
And she was a really pretty one too!
200+200+200!
After Triple Xin blasted out 200 rockets thrice, which amounted to 300,000 yuan, he finally felt slightly appeased.
He then commented, “Young lady, we’ll see how much longer you could keep up with your arrogance. I’ll make sure you admit defeat in front of Wang Fugui!”
His comment instantly created an uproar among the audience.
I Love Coriander suddenly tugged at Triple Xin and asked with a frown, “Dude, are you crazy? Don’t you know how much money she has in her account?”
Iron Hand Bro advised, “Bro, quit fooling around. If you use up all the ammunition we’ve got now, how are we going to help Rabbit later on?”
“My brothers, I don’t blame you for not helping, but don’t attempt to stop me. I can’t take this lying down!”
Triple Xin’s eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was as dark as stormy clouds.
I Love Coriander and Iron Hand Bro were taken aback by his words.
As a man, they could understand how men would occasionally do crazy things for the sake of their pride.
Eventually, I Love Coriander, who was younger than the other two, chastised him, “Seriously though, do you have to pit yourself against a little girl?”
Iron Hand Bro was more practical. He asked in a deep voice, “How far are you prepared to fight?”
Triple Xin ignored them and yelled for the staff who was guarding the entrance. “Get CEO Liu to come over and top up my funds.”
CEO Liu was both Rabbit’s legal representative and the manager of the platform.
After Triple Xin had topped up his funds, he then replied, “I still have 1.2 million in my account and after topping up 2 million, I’ll have a total of 4 million.”
“But we’re still short of 5 million!”
Triple Xin gritted his teeth and sneered coldly, “I don’t f***ing believe that a young lass who spends a man’s money would dare to spend more than 3 million just to pit herself against me for the sake of a new livestreamer.”
Iron Hand Bro frowned. “But she said that she’s using her own money.”
“You believe her?”
Triple Xin widened his eyes and retorted, “She’s a pretty and rich young lass in her early 20s but she’s now out and about with a playboy, and is even willing to spend her own money on her boytoy’s female subordinates?”
Iron Hand Bro and I Love Coriander suddenly couldn’t find a reason to refute him.
Triple Xin became increasingly convinced by his own judgment.
“There’s obviously something going on between Ling Ya, Mi Zi and Wang Fugui. Otherwise, why would Wang Fugui support them?
“Have you ever seen a fair, rich and beautiful woman who would put up with such a thing?”
“She even rewarded them!”
“They’re obviously Wang Fugui’s young mistresses!
“Of course, there’s nothing wrong with him pampering a rare beauty like Miss He.”
“But I’m sure there’s a limit to his pampering. I’ll make the decisions about my own money and we’ll see how much of Wang Fugui’s money she dares to splurge!”
Iron Hand Bro couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
However, he still disagreed with Triple Xin’s approach because he found it too risky.
“What if Wang Fugui is really willing to pamper her without any limit? What’ll happen to you?”
Triple Xin replied through gritted teeth, “Then we’ll fight to the end! We’ll use up what we have on people who have nothing to do with this and we’ll see how Wang Fugui reacts to this.”
Iron Hand Bro sighed and shook his head.
I Love Coriander threw in a few words of consolation, “It might not necessarily be a bad thing even if that happens. This will take a lot of pressure off Iron Hand Bro and I, so we could easily push Rabbit and Coriander to the top of the list. Whatever remaining shark fins that that lass has is probably only enough for keeping Ling Ya in first place. She wouldn’t be able to look out for the others anymore.”
“First place?” Triple Xin shook his head and chuckled darkly before he replied, “We both gave out eight million yuan to that insignificant livestreamer. What does she have to keep Ling Ya in first place?”
“F***!”
Iron Hand Bro and I Love Coriander were both stunned by his words.
They were too focused on trying to talk him out of the matter and failed to think of this.
If they were to put up such an intense fight, that insignificant livestreamer would be the biggest winner of the day. She could easily wipe out all the six livestreamers and make Wangting Entertainment’s Big Eater Competition a joke!
“So, it’s impossible for that to happen. She can’t afford to play this game at all!”
You’re right!” I Love Coriander exclaimed as he clapped his hands in excitement. “Wang Fugui wouldn’t allow her to fight like that. I suppose one million yuan is the maximum!”
Iron Hand Bro instantly changed his opinion about Triple Xin.
Although Triple Xin was short-tempered, he wasn’t a fool. On the contrary, he was sinister and cunning.
But…Wait a minute!
“Why would a sinister person like him be so hostile towards Wang Yan?” Iron Hand Bro wondered.
He couldn’t help but ask, “Bro, seems like you’ve thought it through clearly. But why are you bent on fighting it out with Wang Fugui?”
Triple Xin pursed his lips and remained silent. However, his gaze inevitably wandered toward the VIP area.
I Love Coriander suddenly turned and looked in He Miaomiao’s direction before he looked back at Triple Xin and blurted out, “That girl is really too beautiful.”
Iron Hand Bro immediately understood what he meant and replied, “F***! No wonder you haven’t cursed online till now! No wonder I felt like you weren’t being yourself!”
Previously, they mostly interacted online and weren’t familiar with each other in real life.
But everything made sense now.
Triple Xin was actually attracted to Miss He and jealous of Wang Yan for having everything. On top of that, he already had a foul temper and bore the responsibility of supporting the platform’s livestreamers, so it made sense that he would be on the opposing side.
After figuring out the reason, Iron Hand Bro and I Love Coriander stopped trying to persuade Triple Xin.
It would be pointless of them to do so.
No man would listen to any advice now.
They wouldn’t be able to stop him.
“Alright, Let’s start the war!”
…
While the men were still conversing and recharging their ammunition, Miss He had casually sent out 600 rockets. She then turned to Wang Yan with an ingratiating smile. “Wang Yan, will you blame me for helping other livestreamers?”
Wang Yan was amused by her question and replied, “It’s your money. You can spend it on whoever you want. Why should I fault you for that?”
“Wouldn’t that get in the way of your goal?” Miss He asked shyly and Wang Yan was inevitably attracted to her.
“Oh wait, ‘attracted to’ seems like the wrong choice of word…My heart goes out to her. Yes, I think that’s the right word for this,” he thought.
Wang Yan beamed as he stroked her head and replied gently, “No worries. Do as you please. I’ll settle my own affairs.”
“I simply haven’t made a move yet. If anyone thinks that I’m a weakling, then he’d better be prepared to be taught a lesson,” he thought.
He Miaomiao was over the moon and delirious with excitement.
“In that case, I’ll continue to thrash him?”
“Thrash him hard with all you’ve got!”
Instead of stopping her, Wang Yan egged her on.
“Princess Kitty, you’re the queen for the day and nothing is more important than making you happy. Go ahead and make a fuss. I’ll take responsibility for anything that happens!”
When Wang Yan saw how excited everyone in the server was, he began to demonstrate the perfect example of a parent who spoils his child.
What about making sure Ling Ya got first place?
That wasn’t important.
What if he encountered some hiccups in the event as a result of this?
No problem.
He was going to do anything to keep Miss He in high spirits so that she would increase the damage to his opponent.
“60 times the damage wouldn’t be enough to satisfy her. 100 times sounds more like it,” Wang Yan thought.
“Wang Yan, you’re the best!” He Miaomiao exclaimed.
Feeling on cloud nine, she flashed him a radiant grin.
BAM!
A critical hit!
Wang Yan became delirious and dizzy from her gorgeous smile.
This girl could really capture hearts!
It was so hard not to succumb to her beauty!
“Even though I have some points, I probably shouldn’t enhance her appearance anymore. She’d end up becoming like Helen of Troy, whose beauty led to the downfall of the country and its people. That wouldn’t be nice.
“Yes, I should add some special points instead,” he thought.
…
While despicable thoughts ran through Wang Yan’s mind, Miss He sent out another broadcast.
“Brother Triple Xin, you talk too much, but move too slowly. Why, are you trying to be a gentleman who reasons things out instead of resorting to violence?”
It was exceptionally amusing how Miss He used the image of a gentleman wittily in this context, which strengthened the punch of her sarcasm.
Triple Xin seethed with rage from and could neither refute nor remain silent, because that would make him seem like a coward.
200+200+200+200+200.
Five sets of 200 rockets were sent out and pinned to the top of the screen. However, before he could formulate a comeback, Miss He immediately followed suit and sent out 1,000 rockets.
“I can’t be bothered to send them out in sets. That’s too laborious,” she thought.
Triple Xin gritted his teeth and, with trembling hands, keyed in and sent out another 1,000 rockets in response.
“Again? No problem!” he thought.
When Green saw them fire out 1,000 rockets each, she completely lost her ability to think and could only gape at them with her mouth so wide open that even the cavity in her wisdom tooth was exposed.
Even with the restrictions of one live comment every 10 seconds, the screen was still completely flooded by the sheer number of comments.
On the other hand, He Miaomiao merely acted as if nothing had happened and typed out some words leisurely to tease Green, “Babe, you should get a tooth extraction.”
As they laughed and chatted, she sent out another 1,000 rockets along with two additional words, “Hehe!”
In that moment, Triple Xin’s mind went blank and he was no longer thinking, as if he had blacked out from a night of drinking.
By the time he returned to his senses, he realized that he had already sent out 4,800 rockets.
Meanwhile, He Miaomiao sent out 4,900 rockets. She was obviously mocking him by just sending out 100 more than he did.
Triple Xin suddenly began to panic. He panted as heavily as an ox and his hands trembled like he had Parkinson’s.
“How on earth could she be so gutsy?” he wondered.
That was 500,000 yuan at one go and honestly speaking, even for a nouveau riche, you would have to be seriously infatuated with this livestreamer to throw that much money away.
If it wasn’t for the various contributing factors, Triple Xin would never have done such a thing no matter how impulsive he was.
However, the terrifying thing was how He Miaomiao was more impulsive than him and showed no signs of hesitation at all.
She had sent out rockets 5,000 times.
Each time cost 500 yuan, so that amounted to 2.5 million yuan.
No matter how much the currency depreciated after 15 years, 2.5 million yuan was still an astronomical sum of money that most Chinese would never be able to earn in their lifetime.
But now, a young lass who lived off a playboy’s money like her had spent it all without even batting an eyelid.
“Does Wang Fugui really pamper her so much that he would be willing to ignore his principles and sacrifice the outcome of the event?!” thought Triple Xin.
He was suddenly confused and felt a terror rise within his heart.
He was down to 1.5 million shark fins in his account and he wouldn’t be able to win at this rate.
However, his opponent was a young lady and both of them were present at the venue, so he would be truly humiliated if he didn’t continue with the battle.
The clash between his dignity and fear caused Triple Xin to go into a momentary daze.
Triple Xin was now trying to think of how he could retreat without looking like a loser.
His heart did not ache when he spent the 2.5 million impulsively earlier on. But upon seeing that he was only left with 1.5 million, Triple Xin’s heart was practically bleeding.
This was human nature.
When one couldn’t see any hope of winning, one’s earlier confidence would be fully overturned.
“Perhaps I should…stop?” he considered.
If he spent the 1.5 million on Rabbit, he could exchange it for 1.2 million. Even if he was to spend 100,000 yuan per month on an extremely hot female university student, he could still afford to keep her as a mistress for a whole year.
“Isn’t that a good deal?” Triple Xin reasoned.
Just when he was starting to hesitate and regret his actions, a large hand tapped him on his shoulder.
Iron Hand Bro urged in a deep voice, “There’s no way out now that things have reached this stage. Let’s fight to the end!”
Even though Iron Hand Bro was the one who opposed this fight at first, he was also the most resolute person in this fight now.
“We have a high chance of losing but we can’t lose for nothing. If we spend more than eight million and make Green win first place, then your money wouldn’t be wasted. If you give up now, all your previous efforts will be wasted!”
Triple Xin gaped dazedly as if he wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
Coriander quickly reacted to the situation and began to chime in words of advice, “Right! Since losses are inevitable, we have to find other ways to make up for it.”
“You might have lost your money and pride, but you would have utterly ruined Wang Fugui’s supposedly perfect plan.”
“You wouldn’t look too bad when they mention you in the history of livestreaming in future.”
Triple Xin felt that they their words made sense.
Rationally speaking, he agreed with them.
But from the emotional aspect, he felt terrible.
The sudden onset of anger, regret, loss, breakdown and humiliation that he was experiencing was completely beyond the control of his rational mind and he just wanted to get away from all of this.
However, he still harbored a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe He Miaomiao wouldn’t be able to match the remaining 1.5 million that he had.
While his fantasy wasn’t making any sense, the thought stuck to him stubbornly.
Triple Xin gritted his teeth and continued with the fight.
He wasn’t persuaded by his two friends, but by his fantasized victory.
“1,000. I’ll match that.”
“1,000. I’ll match that too.”
“1,000. That too.”
The remaining 1.5 million was quickly used up and throughout the entire process, Miss He kept up with him calmly.
Triple Xin stared at his remaining 125,000 shark fins and was utterly dumbfounded.
“F***!” he cursed.
All of a sudden, Triple Xin jumped to his feet in rage and grabbed the wine bottle on the table before he hurled it fiercely at the partition of the semi-enclosed room.
The aluminum wine bottle smashed against the wall with a bang and bounced around in the room, splashing wine all over the place.
Still unappeased, Triple Xin attempted to flip the table over but was restrained by Iron Hand Bro and I Love Coriander.
Staff members swiftly rushed in to cleaned up and tried to talk some sense into him.
Outside the room, the fans watched on with shock and soon, a noisy discussion ensued and the sound of sniggering could be heard.
Wang Jianhao immediately left the table and rushed over when he heard the news.
Miss He merely sneered disdainfully and commented through the broadcast, “Brother Triple Xin, stop smashing things. What kind of man are you to vent your anger on the things here? I’m right here. Come at me if you’re upset!”
Meanwhile, Wang Yan shook his head speechlessly as he remarked, “He’s already driven mad with rage thanks to you and you’re still antagonizing him…”
“Well, he was the one who started it by being so harsh with his words. He wanted me to concede defeat to him in your presence… Who does he think he is?”
The vengeful Miss He retorted with conviction before she flashed Wang Yan an ingratiating smile.
“Brother Wang, he’s so arrogant because you’re here. Could you beat that psychopath up for me if he goes crazy again?”
Before Wang Yan could answer, she shook his arm coquettishly and asked, “Won’t you do that for me, my knight in shining armor?”
Wang Yan’s heart felt like melting and all that he could do was to nod.
“Alright, alright, alright. If he dares to bare his teeth at you, I’ll twist him into a knot!”
“Hehe, you’re the best!”
Feeling pleased with herself, Miss He returned to the livestream room joyfully to be worshipped by everyone and to be showered with flattery by Green.
With so many fans present, the audience in the livestream server was quickly filled in on the events that had happened.
Many began to flood the screen with the slogan, ‘Long live, Your Highness. May you achieve anything that your heart desires’.
The four main livestreamers from Wangting Entertainment began to direct all kinds of sarcastic remarks at Triple Xin to ridicule him, so much so that it almost seemed as if the event was a ceremony meant to insult him.
“Brother 24K Gold, don’t be so cocky in future, lest the princess spanks you!”
“He’s lost, he’s lost, he’s so lost…Triple Xin is lost and can’t find his way home…”
“The greatest tragedy in the world isn’t trying to hit a girl, but that you tried and didn’t defeat her!”
“Brother Xin looked so impressive when he first started throwing money away like that, but halfway through, he suddenly realized he wasn’t going to win, so he told himself, “It’s alright! I’ve got a bottle of wine here! It’s not going to fight back!””
“But a broken bottle could cut you!”
“Haha, I don’t know whether Brother 24K Gold is injured, but if he is, then that must be the will of God.”
New jokes and insults kept popping up in the comments and Triple Xin’s reputation was practically in the ruins.
However, this was all his own fault.
If he had controlled his emotions, generously spent the rest of the money and said, “That’s all. My purse is empty now. If you can match this, I’ll admit defeat.”, the situation wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Nobody would have had the right to mock him for how he had splurged four million in a fit of pique.
But now, Triple Xin was the one who had provoked the other party and yet he couldn’t accept his defeat graciously. It reflected poorly on him as a person and anyone would regard him with contempt.
A group of people held him back and spent some time trying to calm him down, which made him feel increasingly humiliated.
Eventually, he calmed down a little but his mind was still in a mess.
Upon seeing this, Iron Hand Bro immediately signaled to Coriander, “Send Brother Xin back to the hotel. I’ll stay here to help Rabbit out in the last lap.”
Coriander asked softly, “How about the bet…”
“To hell with it!”
Iron Hand Bro had a clear grasp of the situation and gestured for them to retreat immediately.
“If we didn’t fall out so badly with our opponent, we could still salvage some pride if we acted pitiful and pretended to be magnanimous. But it’s pointless to bring this up now.”
Triple Xin had no intention to return to the livestream broadcast room to apologize. When the staff and Coriander walked him out, he merely pretended to struggle a few times before he huffed in anger and followed them out silently.
When he passed by the back of row of VIP seats on his way out, he subconsciously glanced towards Wang Yan and He Miaomiao.
The couple was huddled together and whispering to each other. They didn’t know what was happening behind them, so they did not turn back to look.
This was as good as ignoring Triple Xin.
They couldn’t be bothered to think, watch or even mock him.
Triple Xin clenched his fists tightly. He hated Wang Yan’s guts and raged in his heart, “Someday… Someday!”
No one, except for him, knew what his plans were.
…
The news of Triple Xin leaving after going back on his promise spread like wildfire across the entire platform.
The live comments were filled with praises for Princess Kitty.
The livestreamers were the most shameless of the lot.
Everyone was smart enough to grasp the actual situation.
Triple Xin had been forced to fight and Princess Kitty was the one who controlled the situation all along.
In fact, she seemed to have more to offer even after spending so much money and was completely cool about it. It was as if she had money to fight to eternity.
That was terrifying! Was she even human?!
Green was going mad, and she was also scared.
“Master, Master, I’ll tell the guild to return the money to you!”
He Miaomiao asked quizzically, “Huh? Why?”
“I’m afraid!”
Dropping to her knees, Green pulled a long face and continued, “That’s a hell lot of money… I almost feel like offering myself to you… Too bad you’re a girl as well… Oh my god, will you actually give me to a man? Master Wang, for example?”
“PFFT!”
Miss He typed out an onomatopoeia and everyone in the server instantly copied her and flooded the screen with the same word.
“Dream on! Ask the fans present! How many of them would die to sleep with Master Wang?”
“Me, for one!”
“Me two!”
“Me three!”
“Peach Blossom Qianqian, you’re a man! Why are you copying us?”
Peach Blossom Qianqian replied shyly, “Well, I can accept that as well.”
When Green saw how excited the crowd was and how popular she was getting, she was prepared to keep up the momentum and attract more viewers with sick jokes when she noticed Princess Kitty left the room without a word.
Green widened her eyes in shock.
Your Highness, you just spent 4 million on me!
“Could you not be so dismissive about this and behave like you only spent 400 yuan?” she thought.
The netizens in the livestream room were all stunned as they looked through the user list again.
“Where is the princess?!”
“Fuck, after spending all that money, she left without a word?!”
“Oh my God, I finally saw what a real princess looks like today…”
“Your Highness, wait for me!”
While everyone was shouting away, another notification banner suddenly appeared on the screen — [Princess Kitty] has rewarded [Ling Ya] with 2000 rockets…
Phew…
The netizens were all tired. They didn’t have anymore energy to curse or compliment anymore, so everyone quietly returned to Ling Ya’s live broadcast room.
Only a few users were left staring at this newly minted top livestreamer. Green collapsed on her butt and stared at the screen in a daze.
She was ranked in 8 million lists and was was trending in first place.
She had 460,000 followers. Those were top livestreamer statistics.
20 minutes ago, she was in 8 lists and had 16 followers.
Life could seem so magical sometimes. But what was she going to do now?!
Green just stared ahead blankly as saliva slowly dripped from her mouth…
…
“Fight for first place, fight for first place!”
Miss He had had her fun, so her face was red with excitement, her eyes sparkled brightly and she rolled up her sleeves to fight some more.
Wang Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he pulled her back.
“Don’t spend everything so quickly, will you? You’ve only got 5 million out of the 15 million you started with, right?”
“4 million!” Miss He glanced at her phone and corrected him with confidence.
“Who should I give it to? Tell me now!”
As the saying goes, a runaway cat was harder to hold back than a husky.
Wang Yan shook his head helplessly. “Just split it equally…”
Wang Yan would refund 95% of the money she spent on the livestreamers from his company, but there was nothing he could do about the 4 million she spent on other livestreamers. But it didn’t matter as long as she was happy.
It wasn’t like she couldn’t afford that kind of money anyway.
4 million was only worth 2,000 rockets per person.
Live comments on the livestream dwindled and the livestreamers themselves were not as excited as before. They were mostly focused on eating.
There was less than 30 minutes left to go and they were all almost on par with one another, so it was hard to say who would be the champion.
Instead, the other livestreamers who weren’t part of the competition were having a good time.
Brother7, Mini, Kaka, FA, Feng, WenSen, LengXiao… all the livestreamers that were actually popular enough to be named were trying to get close to He Miaomiao.
Even the most inarticulate livestreamer was stammering, “So much…so much money…I have to bow to her!”
Grandpa Wei and Cave Master, two livestreamers known for being shameless, didn’t even play their games anymore. They tried all sorts of ways to get acquainted with He Miaomiao.
Unfortunately, she didn’t know who on earth they were, so she ignored all of them.
So what if they were well known livestreamers?
She didn’t care.
“Wang Yan, Wang Yan, what’s wrong with my inbox?” She suddenly called out to Wang Yan. He turned and saw that her inbox was so jammed that she couldn’t open it anymore.
“You’ll be able to open it when you login with your computer at home. If you’re bored, you could look through the messages for fun. All these bootlicking messages can be really hilarious. But if you get any harassment messages, contact the superuser and he’ll help you to block such accounts.”
Wang Yan wasn’t surprised at all. Given how insane He Miaomiao behaved today, it would be weird if nobody tried to PM her.
“Oh,” He Miaomiao answered obediently and asked, “Will there be a lot of swindlers among them?”
“Of course. But it’ll be fun to just read them anyway. Who would be able to fool you?”
Wang Yan was not worried at all. Miaomiao looked simple minded, but any man who thought that he could fool her was thinking too highly of himself.
“Hehe, I’m definitely looking through them then!”
Miss He stretched happily before continuing to click on her inbox.
However, at this moment, something happened.
A beam of light descended into all the livestream rooms at the same time.
The figure of an angel was faintly discernible in the light.
“What the fuck?!”
Countless livestreamers cried out in surprise and countless netizens were stunned by this.
“What special effect is this?!”
“Why have I never seen it before?!”
“I’ve been on this platform for three years and I swear, this is really the first time this thing has appeared!”
Just as everyone was inexplicably shocked and astonished, the pure white wings of the angel gradually turned into a golden color. At the same time, large words slowly appeared within the light.
The Heaven Sword is adorned with golden wings after a battle; All other flowers pale in comparison to me once I bloom!
Congratulations to [Princess Kitty] for reaching godlike levels with one battle and rewriting the history of his platform!
…
What on earth…
Not only were the livestreamers and netizens stunned, even Wang Yan was dumbfounded.
Before today, there definitely wasn’t such a thing on the platform!
In other words…
This special effect was created just for He Miaomiao!
The live comments went crazy and the entire platform lost control.
The venue itself was even more chaotic. There were people exclaiming, shrieking and cheering. It was so noisy, the studio nearly collapsed.
Miss He didn’t understand what was happening at all. She behaved like all of this was normal.
“Wang Yan, what was that? It seemed like fun!”
Wang Jianhao appeared out of nowhere and started explaining the situation with a huge smile on his face.
“Miss He, in recognition of your support and contribution to the platform, Mr. Chen has specially created this in your honor. We hope you’re satisfied with it!”
“It’s quite beautiful.”
Miss He was quite aloof when talking to people she didn’t know.
Wang Yan snapped out of his shock and spoke further with Wang Jianhao. He finally understood what was going on.
In short, Miss He’s 4+4 million had proved that the platform’s activities today weren’t just an official show put up by them, but that it was an event that could seriously attract a lot of attention and money. That was the most important point.
Also, she had reached the next level three times in a row in the same day, so that deserved some sort of prize too.
It wasn’t possible to change the requirements for levelling up at such short notice, but they couldn’t ignore it and pretend it didn’t happen.
So they ended up doing some special effect like that so as to give attention and glory to He Miaomiao as her prize.
But because everything had been done in such a hurry, the special effects were perfect and those two supposedly poetic lines sounded stupid.
However…this was the first time and the only time the platform had made an exception. The honor the platform had bestowed on He Miaomiao was immeasurable.
In any case, Miss He didn’t purse her lips anymore after she understood what just happened.
Instead, she smiled both smugly and happily!
But she still tried to control her emotions and typed out a loud broadcast.
“I don’t have anymore fins! Give me something practical, like two special gifts or something!”
What on earth…
She had actually negotiated with the platform in front of all the livestreamers and netizens. This girl was really one of a kind.
One shouted shamelessly, “This girl’s one really crazy one! I like her!”
As if He Miaomiao cared about that.
Meanwhile, the most popular Xiao Cang had been neglected as she stood in the main livestream room. Her smile stiffened.
None of the live comments cared about how she felt. They were all busy talking about the Princess.
Did she feel jealous?
Of course she did. But there was nothing she could do.
She wasn’t the only one filled with jealousy. Plenty of other female livestreamers felt the same way.
All their fans had betrayed them and stopped treating them as their precious princesses. Instead, they were now all talking about Princess Kitty and ingratiating themselves towards her.
A hot-tempered and good-looking popular livestreamer criticized them directly, “You’re all trying to ingratiate yourselves towards her here, but she can’t see any of it. Is there any point in continuing to behave like that?!”
“Yes, there is!” Affirmative live comments covered the screen, infuriating the livestreamer.
Just then, a special broadcast suddenly appeared at the top of the livestream room video.
Superuser001: As you wish!
“What the…?!”
Everyone was stunned.
What was that supposed to mean?
Was the platform really going to give He Miaomiao a present?
The live comments went completely bonkers.
“Your Highness, please enlighten us with what you’ve got!”
“Please let us look at the special gift!”
“Let us take a look! I’ll somersault 360 degrees in the air and kowtow to you!”
They weren’t the only curious ones. Even Wang Yan was extremely curious.
He leaned over to look at what had been given. “What did you get?”
“It’s called Angel Descent. It’s only 10,000 yuan a piece, and I got five of them. It’s probably the special effect I saw earlier.”
“Oh.” Wang Yan lost interest quickly. The platform was so boring. Couldn’t they come up with something a little more special?
Throw a nuclear bomb down and make it explode in the middle of the screen or something! That would be more befitting!
What was the point in giving more of the special effect everyone had already seen before?
Seriously though, it was easy for Wang Yan to say such things. The truth was that it was impossible for the platform to do anything! How could they come up with anything special at such short notice? At least they bothered to make a special effect, and they assigned a high value to it too. So that was good enough, no?
But Wang Yan didn’t realize that Fish had gone completely off from what they had planned.
An idea that they initially discarded had been forcibly pulled out of the trash and used to become a special prize of sorts.
The new leveling system they were still designing had to be changed and improved simply because of what Miss He had said…
Everything was messed up!
But for Wang Yan and He Miaomiao, the fact that they had managed to change a platform’s style and future direction was the best prize they could receive.
That represented influence. Every little thing they did made a difference.
…
All the netizens pleaded to see the new special effects He Miaomiao received, but she just laughed cheekily and teased them through her broadcast.
“You want to see it? If I find someone I fancy on the platform, I’ll show it to you guys!”
After saying that, the live comments went into a frenzy again.
“What the fuck?! Your Highness, aren’t you Master Wang’s girlfriend?!”
Actually, He Miaomiao meant that she was looking for a livestreamer whom she really liked watching, and gender didn’t matter.
She only had five of these to spare, so she couldn’t just give them away so casually.
However, everyone obviously didn’t understand it that way.
When they heard that she was still single, they all went insane.
All the fans watching the four main livestreamers started asking, “Is Princess Kitty at the venue?! Who on earth is she?”
Of course, Ling Ya and the others praised her to the skies.
“She’s so damn beautiful!”
“She’s as beautiful as a fairy!”
“It’s true! If I turn out to be lying, I’m a bastard!”
“She’s wearing a little dress, and she’s so gorgeous! Even the prettiest showgirl looks like a maid next to the Princess!”
The livestreamers were praising her so much that the fans did not believe them.
How could there be such a perfect woman?!
But there were core members of every livestreamers’ fanclubs at the venue, so they all left comments swearing on their lives that they really weren’t lying.
If they were caught lying about He Miaomiao’s beauty, they would be struck by lightning!
If only one person swore on their life like that, nobody would really believe him. But if everyone said the same thing, then it was probably true.
The live comments went into another frenzy.
“OMG OMG OMG OMG! I want to see what the Princess really looks like!”
“Take anything you want! Please secretly film her for us!”
“If you don’t show us what she looks like, we’ll unsubscribe from your channel!”
“Everyone at the venue! Send us a photo through the fanclub chatgroup!”
“That’s right! Take a photo of Master Wang and let us admire him too!”
It wasn’t a question of whether anybody at the venue wanted to or no. It really couldn’t be done.
The livestreamers replied, “The cameras are all in the hands of the staff, so we can’t move them.”
The fans at the venue said, “The staff don’t allow us to take any photos! We’re trying to persuade them but the situation doesn’t look hopeful. We’re all looking at Master Wang too and we wish we could take a photo too!!!”
The live comments exploded again.
“Which planet does Master Wang come from?!”
“I’ve seen many successful people in my life, but I’ve never heard of someone this successful before!”
“My goddess is so amazing, so why does she like Wang Fugui? He’s got such an old fashioned name, I think he must be some middle aged country bumpkin!”
“Dude, stop it right now. Master Wang is super handsome, I’m serious.”
“Damn it! Doesn’t that mean my precious Princess is in danger?!”
Obviously, everyone still did not quite believe [Princess Kitty]’s declaration of being single.
Seeing that the live comments were getting more and more out of hand, Wang Yan had no choice but to come forward and release a broadcast to clear the air.
“I have a girlfriend. Your Princess? She’s just my temporary secretary.”
When he saw that He Miaomiao’s mood points had dropped to 90, he knew that she wouldn’t be able to hit the maximum of 96 anymore.
Since that was the case, he didn’t have to bother himself with her anymore.
It was time to get rid of her since she was no longer useful.
As soon he said these words, it was as if the entire venue had been swept away by a nuclear bomb.
“Gosh, he’s AMAZING!”
“Nobody’s better at boasting than my Master Wang!”
“Master Wang, you can be that man who’s so relaxed and different, yet also understand our hearts!”
“I envy all the fans who are there right now! You can witness our Princess bashing Master Wang up!”
Miss He made a face and scoffed coldly at Wang Yan.
But she didn’t mind admitting the truth and didn’t retort. She just added one phrase, “I might be a temporary secretary today, but do you think any of you would stand a chance still?”
What the heck?!
Was she for real?!
She was actually seriously just a secretary?!
All of a sudden, the live comments that had once covered the screen from the sheer volume stopped. There were almost no comments for that one moment.
The audience and the livestreamers were so shocked that they didn’t know how to think anymore.
What was even going on?!
The ridiculously beautiful Princess Kitty had risen to the top of the platform like a god and was a super tycoon who had coolly flung 4 million casually to a brand new livestreamer…
…turned out to be nothing but Master Wang’s secretary?!
WAS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE.
The entire place fell silent. Wang Yan, the man who had remained a mystery all this time and never stood in the limelight, suddenly became a highly revered man. Nobody dared to even look him in the eye.
The audience, livestreamers and sponsors were convinced that he had to be a god.
He could make the sun shine with the turn of his palm, and make it rain when he turned his other palm.
Master Wang was definitely the god of showing off!
