Chapter 012: The Mysterious Big Spender Is My Friend?

The PK between Zhao Yuqi and Peng Shiqi had ended, but Chen Yuan's gifting didn't stop.

Carnivals kept flashing on the screen, as if there was no end.

He just kept sending...

Kept sending...

On average, he sent one Carnival every second.

That's sixty in a minute, six hundred in ten minutes.

After an hour...

["A Lonely Cigarette" sent the host cutie Qiqi a Carnival × 3331]

["A Lonely Cigarette" sent the host cutie Qiqi a Carnival × 3332]

["A Lonely Cigarette" sent the host cutie Qiqi a Carnival × 3333]

At this point, Chen Yuan finally stopped.

Zhao Yuqi was already in a daze. She was completely stunned.

She'd only been live - streaming for a few days. When had she ever seen such a scene?

"Xiaofeifei, pinch me quickly and tell me this isn't real. Did someone really send me over three thousand Carnivals?"

"Qiqi, you've hit the jackpot! Holy crap, this big spender just gave you ten million!"

"Thanks to the big spender, thanks to the big shot, thanks to Boss Yan!"

During the hour when Chen Yuan was frantically sending Carnivals, the number of viewers in Zhao Yuqi's live - streaming room broke through three hundred thousand unprecedentedly.

You know, the number of viewers on the Douyin live - streaming platform is the most real among all live - streaming platforms.

Three hundred thousand live viewers would be equivalent to thirty million popularity on Longya and three billion heat on Shark.

For a new host, this was incredibly exaggerated.

[Damn! A new host has only been live - streaming for less than two days, has received 100 million in virtual gifts, and the number of live viewers in the room has exceeded three hundred thousand. Even when a celebrity starts live - streaming, they don't have your popularity. Holy moly!]

[I'm not here to watch the female host. I'm here to watch the big spender splashing cash! Haha.]

[Boss Yan, let me know next time you splash cash. I want to be your number - one flunky.]

[Boss Yan has good taste. The little sister is really good - looking. I think she's just as attractive as Peng Shiqi.]

[Boss Yan, she's already followed you. Let's have a private - message chat!]

Chen Yuan checked the backstage. Sure enough, there were countless private messages, all with 99 +.

There were even quite a few female hosts who sent him private messages.

The most astonishing thing to Chen Yuan was that Peng Shiqi was among them.

This lady was a huge internet celebrity with over thirty million followers.

She was also the dream goddess of宅男 (male otakus).

With her sweet and cute appearance, she could charm people of all ages.

She ranked among the top ten superstar goddesses on the Douyin platform.

Such a high - profile internet celebrity actually sent him a private message.

This was something Chen Yuan had never thought of before.

He clicked on the backstage private message.

"Brother Lonely Cigarette, I've followed you. Can we follow each other? You really gave me a hard time!"

"Sorry, beauty!" Chen Yuan replied right away.

"Brother Lonely, how about adding me on WeChat? I've got something to talk to you about."

"What's it about?"

"It's about business cooperation. I recently set up a new media company, and I'm in need of big spenders like you to join. There are lots of internet - celebrity girls in it!"

"Really? Then I'll think about it. Send me your WeChat ID!"

Chen Yuan squinted his eyes.

He thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to add Peng Shiqi on WeChat.

She was a real beauty.

She could be the girl he's been fawning over.

Plus, she knew so many internet celebrities. If she introduced just a few, Chen Yuan thought he could quickly become well - known in the internet - celebrity circle.

And he wouldn't even need the system to reward him with money for being a bootlicker.

Once he became famous, he could make money on his own.

Of course, he still had to keep a low profile.

He couldn't become an internet celebrity.

Because according to the system's rules, the initial favorability of the girl he's fawning over towards him couldn't exceed 20 points.

Otherwise, he couldn't establish the bootlicker relationship.

If a girl has a favorability of over 20 points from the start, it means she kind of likes you from the get - go, and you no longer fit the description of a bootlicker.

"Brother Lonely, my WeChat ID is 'pengshiqi'."

"Okay!"

Chen Yuan promptly added her.

In less than twenty seconds, she approved his friend request.

"Brother Lonely, is the age on your profile real? You're only 21?" Peng Shiqi sent a message asking.

"It's real. In another month, I'll be 22!" Chen Yuan typed back.

"I didn't expect you to be so young. In my mind, those who can do something like this are usually big - shot CEOs of large corporations."

"What are CEOs of large corporations? I could buy a Fortune Global 500 company in a flash. Do you believe me?"

"Haha, little brother, you're so funny!"

Peng Shiqi clearly thought Chen Yuan was bragging.

What's the concept of a Fortune Global 500 company?

Such a huge corporation is worth hundreds of billions, and some are even worth trillions.

You can buy it? Why don't you just go to the moon?

Even Ma Yun wouldn't dare say such things.

Are you more powerful than Ma Yun?

Without having much interaction with him yet, Peng Shiqi thought this mysterious big spender was a bit full of himself and didn't seem like a real rich guy at all.

She even thought the person she added wasn't the real tycoon, so she didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

"Fourth, why are you back so early? Weren't you on a date with Xu Lele?" Xiong Tao asked as soon as he returned to the dormitory.

"Xu Lele is not a nice person. I gave her a piece of my mind and came back!"

"Cut it out. You're more likely the one who got scolded!" Xiong Tao said, shaking his head in disdain.

"Chen Yuan, who are you chatting with?" Zhou Haiquan casually glanced at Chen Yuan's phone and asked.

"Peng Shiqi!"

"What? Who did you say?"

"Peng Shiqi, the female internet celebrity on Douyin!"

"Come on. Why don't you say you're chatting with the President of the United States?"

"Hehe, believe it or not."

Chen Yuan didn't feel like explaining.

...

On the other hand.

After Zhao Yuqi ended the live - stream, she almost immediately followed Chen Yuan's Douyin account.

She thought that whether out of gratitude, politeness, or for other reasons, she should privately thank this mysterious top donor.

Besides, this top donor was from the same city.

But the moment she followed Chen Yuan's Douyin account, she froze.

Because she found that the WeChat account linked to this mysterious top donor, the peerless tycoon on the Weibo trending list, was actually her friend.

That is to say, the big spender who gave her ten million was someone she knew.

"How's it going, Qiqi? Did you add the mysterious big spender's WeChat? I'm telling you, a big shot who can splash ten million like that must be incredibly wealthy. If you can get his support, becoming a huge internet sensation won't be a problem at all!"

"I've already added it!" Zhao Yuqi replied, seeming distracted.

"So fast?"

"No, I found out that the Lonely Cigarette who just sent me gifts is actually my WeChat friend!" Zhao Yuqi explained.

"What?"

Hearing Zhao Yuqi's answer, Wu Xiaofei was left completely confused.
