This PK battle was set to last for a total of three minutes.
The mont it began, Chen Xin’s HP bar was instantly wiped out by a top-tier gift from one of her opponent’s whales.
Seeing this, Liu Yuxin shot Xu Yun a provocative glance.
’A PK battle with ?’
’You have no idea how formidable my whales are.’
Xu Yun watched Chen Xin’s suppressed HP bar, completely unhurried. He silently navigated to the gifting page, found the most expensive gift—the Carnival—and entered the quantity: 99.
Gift!
In an instant, the tables turned.
Liu Yuxin’s HP bar was imdiately wiped out in the counterattack.
His fans, along with the other major strears watching, were left dumbfounded by the sudden explosion of points on the other side.
"HOLY SHIT, what’s happening!!!"
"Their whale... I think he just dropped 99 Carnivals!"
"I thought this was going to be a steamroll, but I didn’t realize *we* were the ones getting steamrolled!"
Even Liu Yuxin hadn’t expected his opponent to be so aggressive, dropping 300,000 yuan right off the bat!
He turned to Xu Yun, completely baffled.
Xu Yun smiled. "A big crowd doesn’t an big money, right?"
"..." Liu Yuxin was speechless.
’I can’t lose this!’
’If I lose, I’ll beco infamous!’
He started frantically begging for points in his stream while also secretly arranging for people to send gifts to rally his "family."
Just as he was about to catch up, or even pull ahead—after secretly spending 100,000 of his own money to send gifts from a burner account—Xu Yun sent another 99 Carnivals.
In an instant, his HP bar was once again decimated.
Everyone: "..."
The live stream chat erupted.
"Another 300,000!!!"
"Ugh, how the hell are we supposed to compete with that!"
"It’s over. We’ve run into a pay-to-win player."
"I’m tapped out, seriously. I just donated tomorrow’s breakfast money."
Yu Xuan, standing to the side, gave the so-called second-rate strear a pitying look.
’What on earth gave you the courage to challenge a rich kid with a private banking card to a PK battle?’
’But you can’t really bla him,’ she thought. ’He had no idea.’
Even though Liu Yuxin was trying his hardest to rally for points and his die-hard fans were giving it their all, nobody was going to bankrupt themselves for him.
When the tir finally ran out, Liu Yuxin had lost.
It was a crushing defeat.
The chat, filled with spectators, erupted with comnts.
"That top supporter is a one-man army, holding the pass against ten thousand!"
"Dropped 600,000 just like that. Damn."
"No wonder he was so bold. He’s got the power to back it up."
"Turns out, I was the clown all along!"
"I bet only the top strears on the whole platform could compete with him."
"Godfather, please accept my bow!"
Liu Yuxin’s expression was grim.
He saw Xu Yun looking at him and knew he had picked a fight with the wrong person today.
Xu Yun asked, "So?"
"A bet’s a bet!"
Liu Yuxin had no desire to lose face in front of so many people on his stream.
He simply shut it down, then said to Xu Yun in a low voice, "Godfather, my mistake for bothering you. I’m sorry."
With that, he prepared to slink away in disgrace.
The other strears nearby glanced at the trio, their expressions complicated.
The female strears, in particular, were itching to go over and say hello, to curry favor with this massive whale. If they could hook up with him, wouldn’t their future PK battles be guaranteed wins?
But one look at the two won by his side, and they faltered.
Comparisons are brutal. In the real world, without beauty filters, they saw the gap between themselves and the other won.
With those two around, a guy like that would never even look their way.
[In response to the male strear’s provocation, you did as you please and gifted 600,000 yuan, crushing his arrogant spirit. You have received a cash reward of 1,000,000!]
[Bank Card Balance: 18,500,000.]
Once the PK ended and his opponent left, Xu Yun heard the system’s reward notification.
’It feels like it’s been a long ti since I’ve gotten a reward.’
’It’s a strangely familiar and welco feeling!’
Beside him, Chen Xin snapped back to reality and realized that this sudden PK battle had earned her 250,000 new followers!
It had transford her from a complete newbie into a minor strear overnight.
There were plenty of people who stread for years and only had tens of thousands of followers!
’If I could convert all these followers into my readers,’ she mused, ’wouldn’t I beco a top author? My monthly royalties would start at 100,000 yuan, at least.’
But that was just a fleeting thought.
It was a minor interlude. Afterward, the three of them enjoyed a pleasant night cruise along the Bund.
Yu Xuan glanced at Chen Xin with a touch of envy.
Just now, Xu Yun had spent 600,000 yuan without batting an eye to help her win the PK battle!
According to the platform’s 50/50 split, that ant Chen Xin had earned 300,000 yuan in less than three minutes!
300,000 yuan! It would take her two or three years to save that much money!
’If only I had a rich boyfriend who doted on and loved like that,’ she thought wistfully.
’Then I wouldn’t have to work so hard as a hotel butler.’
Don’t be mistaken—it wasn’t a high-paying job. For providing round-the-clock service to soone like Xu Yun, essentially acting as his maid, she would only earn about 5,000 yuan!
And the work wasn’t even consistent.
Although she sotis got to enjoy the perks of her clients’ lifestyles—eating fine food, having so fun.
For instance, thanks to Xu Yun, she was now on a luxury cruise ship, enjoying a delightful night tour of the Bund.
But ultimately, these were just handouts from others, as illusory as flowers in a mirror or the moon’s reflection in water.
It was precisely because her job exposed her to so much of this world that her craving for it grew ever stronger.
’Everyone gets one life. Who doesn’t want to live it better?’
’But wanting what you can’t have is the worst kind of tornt!’
