During Mia’s livestream that night, she had only perford a short dance at the beginning.
But the mont the viewer count broke past one hundred thousand...
Her entire mind went blank.
Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the screen before her.
Even her breathing beca uneven.
Her trembling fingers slowly moved toward the gift ranking section.
The total rewards had already exceeded 6.3 million Tiktok coins.
Equivalent to more than $630,000.
And even after splitting the revenue with the platform, she would still receive over $300,000.
That amount alone was higher than all the money she had earned from livestreaming throughout the entire past year combined.
And all of it...
Had happened within barely an hour.
Mia still felt like she was dreaming.
When she noticed King Of Rocket had finally left the livestream, she instinctively wanted to thank Lucas properly.
But before she could even say a word,
another terrifying rain of Universes exploded across the screen.
[Lookas gifted DanceQueen a Universe x1]
[Lookas gifted DanceQueen a Universe x2]
...
[Lookas gifted DanceQueen a Universe x193]
The gifts continued pouring in without stopping.
One Universe after another flooded the screen like a violent storm.
The entire livestream completely exploded.
Lucas had just recharged exactly $1 million using the rebated funds from the Infinite Rebate System.
Since the system gave him a tenfold rebate, there was no reason to leave even a single dollar unused.
Money?
To him right now, it was nothing more than numbers.
The livestream chat instantly descended into madness.
[Holy shit! King Of Rocket already got chased out and Lookas is STILL throwing Universes?!]
[Did anyone count properly?! Including earlier, he already sent 333 Universes tonight!]
[That’s over $100,000 worth of gifts!]
[Lookas, are you hiring maids? I can cook, clean, and warm the bed too!]
[Wake up. If soone that rich wants a woman, it would definitely be soone on DanceQueen’s level!]
The livestream beca more chaotic with every passing second.
anwhile, Mia sat frozen in front of the cara.
Completely stunned.
Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief.
Wasn’t Lucas supposed to co from an ordinary family in Dustford?
How could he possibly spend money like this?
No...
This wasn’t normal spending anymore.
This was absolute madness.
The barrage comnts beca more outrageous by the second, making Mia’s face flush red with embarrassnt.
In the end, she hurriedly thanked Lucas several tis in a flustered voice before quickly ending the livestream.
The mont the stream closed,
the room instantly fell silent.
Ross, who had been sitting beside her the entire ti, looked just as shocked.
It took her nearly half a minute to recover.
Slowly, she turned toward Mia.
"Mia... how much did you make tonight?"
Mia blinked blankly.
"I... I think it’s close to $1.3 million..."
Even saying it aloud felt unreal.
As a first-year university student, this amount of money was already beyond anything she could comprehend.
Ross imdiately sucked in a cold breath.
"That ans after the platform split, you still earned over $600,000 in a single night?!"
The two girls stared at each other silently.
Both of their minds were still buzzing from shock.
After a long pause, Ross finally spoke softly.
"What exactly does Lucas do?"
"Nobody spends money this crazily using family money alone."
Then suddenly, her eyes lit up.
"Oh my god..."
"Young, rich, and self-made?"
"Mia, you absolutely cannot let a man like this slip away!"
"A self-made billionaire is a hundred tis better than those useless second-generation rich kids!"
Normally, Mia would imdiately argue back.
But this ti...
She stayed quiet.
After a while, she gently bit her lower lip.
"Ross..."
"What exactly do you think Lucas is trying to do?"
"If he really wanted to pursue ... does he seriously need to spend money this insanely in a livestream?"
Ross was equally confused.
After all, half the money Lucas spent tonight went directly into Tiktok’s pocket.
She had truly never seen anyone chase a girl in such an outrageous way before.
anwhile,
as the two girls sat there trying to understand what was happening,
Lucas lay comfortably on his bed, staring at the nearly $10 million balance on his phone with a satisfied grin.
Although he already knew the Infinite Rebate System would eventually make him unbelievably rich...
Watching his balance explode upward this quickly still gave him an indescribable thrill.
It felt addictive.
After calming down slightly, Lucas opened Discord and sent Mia another ssage.
"Mia, what ti are you streaming tomorrow?"
The mont she saw the ssage, Mia froze once again.
Judging from Lucas’s tone...
Was he planning to continue throwing Universes tomorrow too?
Right now, she honestly just wanted peace and quiet.
anwhile, Lucas waited for quite a while without receiving any reply.
Soon, he realized sothing.
His spending tonight had probably frightened her badly.
He sighed helplessly.
"Seriously... even spending money is difficult."
Then his eyes shifted toward Ivy’s profile.
Inside the Fingal Hotel staff dormitory,
Ivy sat quietly on the edge of her bed wearing loose pajamas.
The room was small and cramped, barely over ten square ters.
Life had never treated her kindly.
The exhaustion from the day still lingered heavily on her beautiful face.
Demanding guests.
Forced smiles.
Financial burdens.
Day after day, it all piled onto her shoulders until she often felt like she could barely breathe.
A few minutes earlier, she had simply been lying there staring blankly at the ceiling.
Too exhausted to think.
Too restless to sleep.
Then,
buzz.
Her phone vibrated softly.
When she saw Lucas’s na appear on the screen, her fingers paused slightly.
For so reason...
Seeing his ssage subtly changed her mood.
"You asleep yet?"
Ivy stared at the ssage quietly for several seconds before replying.
"Not yet."
A few monts later,
Lucas replied almost instantly.
"Good."
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Ivy blinked slightly.
Tomorrow?
"What for?"
Lucas casually typed back.
"I want to go buy a car."
"Co with ."
"You seem like soone with decent taste."
Ivy frowned slightly.
Car shopping?
Why ask her?
And more importantly,
why would he specifically want her to accompany him?
The thought left her feeling strangely conflicted.
Truthfully,
with her current financial situation, even taking one day off work felt impossible.
Every missed shift ant losing money.
And right now...
Money was exactly what she lacked the most.
After hesitating briefly, she replied honestly.
"I have work tomorrow."
Then after a pause, she added:
"Besides..."
"You’re rich."
"Can’t you just have soone deliver the car?"
"Why do you need to go with you?"
Lucas looked at the ssage and suddenly laughed softly.
He wasn’t interested in buying a car at all.
What he truly wanted were rebate points.
And among all the won around him right now,
Ivy was by far the easiest to approach naturally.
After thinking briefly, he replied:
"How about I pay for your day off?"
Ivy froze slightly.
Before she could even respond,
another ssage appeared.
"Send your account number."
Her brows imdiately furrowed.
What?
Why?
Was he serious?
After hesitating for a long mont,
sothing still made her send it.
Maybe curiosity.
Maybe exhaustion.
Maybe desperation.
Or maybe...
She simply wanted to know what kind of person Lucas truly was.
A few seconds later,
buzz.
Her phone screen lit up.
[Bank Notification]
[Deposit Successful: $1,000,000]
For a brief mont,
everything around her seed to fall silent.
Ivy stared blankly at the screen.
Her breathing stopped completely.
Then,
her phone slipped from her fingers and landed softly on the blanket.
"...What?"
Her voice barely ca out above a whisper.
One million dollars.
Not one thousand.
Not ten thousand.
One.
Million.
Her heartbeat instantly accelerated.
Her fingers trembled uncontrollably.
The room suddenly felt smaller.
Hotter.
Harder to breathe.
This amount of money...
It was sothing she had never even dared dream about before.
Enough to completely change her life.
Her family’s debts.
Her future.
Everything.
And yet...
Lucas had transferred it so casually.
Just because she said she had work tomorrow.
At that mont, Ivy genuinely felt shaken.
Confused.
Overwheld.
And strangely unable to calm down.
Why?
Why would he do sothing like this?
Even if a man liked her,
no normal person spent money this way.
Not for soone like her.
After hesitating for nearly a full minute,
she finally grabbed her phone and called him.
The call connected almost instantly.
"Lucas..."
Her voice ca out softer than expected.
Almost cautious.
"...What exactly is the aning of this transfer?"
There was silence for a brief second.
Then Lucas’s relaxed voice sounded from the other side.
"Advance paynt."
Ivy unconsciously bit her lower lip.
"No..."
Her voice beca even softer.
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
The room suddenly beca strangely quiet.
For so reason,
her heartbeat kept speeding up.
Then quietly...
Almost unconsciously...
She asked:
"...What exactly are your intentions toward ?"
Lucas paused briefly.
Even he hadn’t expected things to escalate this quickly.
He had only wanted to use her for rebate rewards at first.
But now...
Things were slowly becoming different.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Then in a half-joking tone, he spoke softly:
"You already know my intentions."
Before Ivy could respond,
the call ended.
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
