Shocking: 5,000 Super Gifts Sent in a Frenzy
The only downside is that getting her out in real life is very difficult. Achieving a reversal of fortunes is even harder.
After all, she is someone who earns millions a month. There are plenty of wealthy admirers who like her, and simply throwing money at her might not even secure a 95% approval rating.
Chen Yuan thought for a moment. Whatever, just throw money at it! As for whether he could achieve the reversal, that's something to worry about later.
[Xiao Mier, will you be my girlfriend? I'm going to top your leaderboard!]Chen Yuan casually sent a message in the chat and then began to spend money.
[Hahaha, even a level three account is trying to gain attention! If you really manage to top the leaderboard, I'll eat shit live!]A level 56 moderator mocked without restraint.
[I remember the top spot on Xiao Mier's leaderboard was set by someone who spent over nine million, right? Even her weekly top spender has spent over twenty thousand.
Bro, don't even talk about the overall top spot; if you can beat the weekly top spender, I'll stand on my head and shit!]
[Mr. Long, here to scam food and drink again!]
[You guys have driven up the price of shit!]
[I'm losing it!]
[Xiao Mier, I'm done, not a drop left!]
In the midst of the scrolling comments, suddenly, a golden rocket shot into the sky. The entire livestream was covered in dazzling special effects.
"Wow! Thanks to 'Lonely Smoke' for the super rocket!"
But that wasn't the end. This was just the beginning of the explosion.
Following the first super rocket, Chen Yuan launched the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth rockets…
In just a short time, Chen Yuan had sent a total of one hundred rockets.
Each super rocket was worth two thousand yuan. One hundred rockets amounted to two hundred thousand yuan.
Even for a top-tier streamer like Xiao Mier, it's incredibly rare to encounter such an overwhelming display of generosity.
Outside of special events like platform-wide competitions where guild leaders might flood the streams with gifts, it's almost unheard of for someone to be so extravagantly generous during a regular broadcast.
Typically, the funds for guild gifts are reimbursed in full. True millionaires don't often spend so lavishly on a whim.
[Wow, this is truly a top-tier spender! Mr. Long, did you get slapped in the face?]
[See? Level-three accounts can also be big spenders! Time to call me daddy!]
[Mr. Long, don't forget to let me know when you're eating shit!]
[I'm talking about the overall top spot, not just the weekly rankings. Eating shit is still a long way off!]
The level 56 moderator, known as Longzong001, appeared somewhat reluctant to concede.
For real millionaires, dropping two hundred thousand yuan isn't a substantial amount. While he could easily afford to be a duke and spend that kind of money, he rarely indulged so extravagantly all at once.
But was one hundred super rockets truly Chen Yuan's limit? That's a joke! This was merely an appetizer. If you're going to flaunt your wealth, you might as well do it on a grand scale!
As if to prove a point, the entire Shark Live platform erupted with an endless storm of rockets across every streamer's chat.
For a full thirty minutes, the super rocket rain poured ceaselessly, a dazzling display of wealth and bravado.
[Lonely Smoke, sending 4,987 super rockets to streamer Xiao Mier]
[Lonely Smoke, sending 4,988 super rockets to streamer Xiao Mier]
[Lonely Smoke, sending 4,989 super rockets to streamer Xiao Mier] ...
Each message flashed with radiant gold as the super rockets burst onto the screen, overwhelming the chat with their brilliance.
The chat was alive with awe and disbelief, as viewers and streamers alike struggled to comprehend the scale of Chen Yuan's extravagance.
The once-ordinary broadcast had turned into an extraordinary spectacle, setting a new benchmark for lavishness in the world of live streaming.
"Wow! How many super rockets is this? It's been half an hour and it hasn't stopped!" exclaimed a League of Legends streamer, who had abandoned their game to witness the spectacle in Xiao Mier's livestream.
"This is insane! Xiao Mier's livestream popularity has skyrocketed to twenty billion!"
"Twenty billion? That's ridiculous! It's not like it's real popularity; it's just numbers on a screen!"
"Unbelievable! This 'Lonely Smoke' went from a level-three account to a full-level 120 in just half an hour and snatched the top spot on the leaderboard instantly!"
"..."
At this moment, Xiao Mier, the streamer, was utterly stunned.
She had been in the streaming game for two years and had seen many wealthy patrons, but never anyone so outrageously generous. This person had dropped five thousand super rockets in one go, instantly taking the top spot. It was beyond extravagant!
What's more, she didn't even know who this person was. In her leaderboard top ten, the top three spots were filled with guild-sponsored rankings. The top spot had been achieved with over nine million yuan in gifts—money she wouldn't see a penny of. But this "Lonely Smoke" was a complete stranger, a true outsider.
Sending five thousand super rockets equaled a staggering ten million yuan. After the platform's cut, that's still a net profit of five million. Earning five million in a day was ludicrous!
"Thank you, Lonely Smoke, for the five thousand super rockets!"
"Lonely Smoke, what kind of dance would you like to see?"
"Lonely Smoke, are you there? Should we exchange WeChat IDs? I'd like to message you privately later."
Xiao Mier repeated these messages several times, but received no response. Chen Yuan had fallen asleep.
He was exhausted from a long day of shopping and had spent so much time sending rockets that his hand was sore. He had been tapping the screen for over half an hour, and his hand felt like it was about to fall off!
As a result, Xiao Mier's private messages to him went unnoticed. While Chen Yuan was asleep, the entire Shark Live platform was buzzing with excitement.
The ID "Lonely Smoke" had instantly gained fame among all streamers.
Especially for female streamers, remembering the names of big spenders was almost a mandatory part of their job.
The mysterious billionaire had made such a profound impression that it created a sensation.
Sending five thousand super rockets as a starting point and immediately claiming the top spot was unprecedented.
The fact that this wasn't during a competition period suggested that this big spender was likely a true individual millionaire, not a guild-sponsored fake.
The impact was tremendous. In addition to Xiao Mier sending private messages, many other female streamers also sent messages to Chen Yuan.
Some advertisements and sponsorship requests started flooding in as well.
Chen Yuan's account gained tens of thousands of new followers overnight. Bloggers seized on the buzz and wrote articles about the event, complete with screenshots of the rocket storm.
One such article was titled, "Shocking! Shark Live Witnesses the Biggest Spender Ever: Five Thousand Super Rockets in Half an Hour Pushes Streamer Xiao Mier's Popularity to Twenty Billion!"
This article quickly made its way to trending topics.
As night fell, lightning flashed and a storm raged. The next morning, the air was refreshingly clear.
Chen Yuan, however, did not log into his livestream account. Instead, he picked up his book and prepared for his elective class.
Typically, skipping elective classes was common, especially if the class wasn't mandatory. But today was different.
On Mondays, Zhao Yuqi, the top beauty of the School of Literature at Lake University and the second most popular girl on campus, always attended her elective class.
Because of this, the number of students skipping class was significantly lower, especially among the boys.
Normally, students would be sluggish and reluctant to get out of bed, but today, they were up and getting ready well in advance to make the best impression.
In Room 205 of the dormitory, the three guys—Cao Jinyan, the leader; Zhou Haiquan, the second in command; and Xiong Tao, the third—were unusually energetic early in the morning, even using cold water to wash their hair.
"Hurry up! We're going to see goddess Zhao Yuqi again today!" Zhou Haiquan urged.
"Yeah, there's only one chance a week to see her. Every time I see her, I get so nervous I can't even speak!" Xiong Tao said excitedly, meticulously styling his hair with gel.
"Come on, you guys are too young to handle this calmly.
You need to be unshaken even when the mountain collapses in front of you!" Cao Jinyan, the leader, tried to appear composed but was internally anxious.
