Chapter 11
Zhang Yuning originally thought she had crushed Zhou Xinyi and Zhao Xiaoxuan, but in the end, she discovered that no one had really come out on top.
Ever since finding out about Lin Fei's background last night, coupled with their physical contact, Zhou Xinyi had completely made up her mind. No matter how Lin Fei treated her, she swore she would win him back. Since Lin Fei could pursue her for three years, she could pursue him in return for three years.
As for Zhao Xiaoxuan, she was absolutely certain that Lin Fei had feelings for her. Otherwise, why would he lend her five million so casually?
Besides, wealthy men were never short of women. With Lin Fei being so outstanding and so rich, it was perfectly normal for him to have a few beauties around him.
Compared to those unwanted losers, she would rather compete for a man that many women adored.
In her heart, the more women liked a man, the more outstanding he was. Since even Zhang Yuning liked Lin Fei, there was no way she would give up!
Arriving at the classroom, Lin Fei spent quite a bit of time setting up the phone Zhang Yuning had given him. Having always used the Android system before, he wasn't yet accustomed to iOS.
The moment he logged into WeChat, a flood of messages popped up. "Lin Fei, let's go see a movie tonight. I bought two tickets for the midnight showing. We can grab a late-night snack afterward. I want to be with you tonight." This one was from Zhou Xinyi.
"I have something on tonight, can't make it," Lin Fei replied.
"What is it? Can I come with you?" Zhou Xinyi replied instantly.
"I'm a bit busy, talk later."
"Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I'll always be waiting for you..." Zhou Xinyi's reply was laden with meaning.
"Don't forget my livestream tonight, my number one top gifter~" This one was from Zhang Yuning.
Lin Fei: "Okay."
"Honey, I'll be cooking a delicious meal for you at home tonight. Will you come?" This was from Zhao Xiaoxuan. "By the way, honey, I've drafted a loan agreement today. I know you're sincerely helping me, but with such a large sum of money, we must sign an agreement. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
Lin Fei: "You're cooking personally? In that case, I definitely have to taste your cooking."
"I'll make sure you're satisfied, honey," Zhao Xiaoxuan replied happily.
There was one more message that surprised Lin Fei. It was from Liu Yinyin, Zhou Xinyi's best friend. "Lin Fei, did you and Xinyi have a fight? She was crying when she got back last night. I hope you two can work things out. If there's anything I can do to help, you can tell me."
Lin Fei had almost forgotten that he had added her on WeChat to get her help in pursuing Zhou Xinyi. She used to be dismissive whenever he spoke to her, but now she was offering to help out of the blue. This had to be one of Zhou Xinyi's schemes. After a moment's thought, Lin Fei didn't reply.
The rest were a few greeting messages from "Velociraptor Theresa," which Lin Fei also ignored.
After closing WeChat, Lin Fei downloaded some common apps and then opened Douyu Live.
He ignored the overwhelming flood of backend messages and friend requests, navigated to the "Appearance" section, and saw that Xiao Miandou was live, so he clicked in.
This time, Lin Fei was no longer a level-two nobody. He was now a true king returning, a max-level big shot at level 120. Although he hadn't activated the "Emperor" status, his presence was still felt.
"Holy shit, Brother Tianshen is here! That man has arrived!"
"Welcome, Brother Tianshen!"
"Master, you came to the livestream and didn't tell your humble servant?"
"Brother Tianshen, is your family looking for a nanny?"
"Brother Tianshen, you're already a level-120 big shot. Aren't you considering becoming an Emperor?"
"The Emperor status is for minor rich kids to show off. Take a good look at who Brother Tianshen is. Does he need to show off?"
"Brother Tianshen, you're finally here! I've been sending you private messages for days, and you haven't replied. You wouldn't give me your WeChat either." As soon as she saw Lin Fei, Xiao Miandou's face lit up with joy, and she spoke hastily.
"Wow! Thank you, Brother Tianshen, for activating the Emperor status!"
The Noble Emperor status cost 120,000 a month. It was practically useless, only providing an entry effect when joining a stream, making your comments more prominent, and making you look important. The female streamer would also treat you differently.
Spend 120,000 just to look important?
Lin Fei still felt this kind of behavior was a bit idiotic, but when it came to spending money, he never refused.
"I haven't had time to check my private messages. I'll go look now."
After sending this comment, Lin Fei went to the backend and searched through hundreds of private messages. Finally, he found the one from Xiao Miandou, which contained her WeChat ID.
Without hesitation, Lin Fei added her, but several minutes passed without it being accepted. This must be her personal WeChat, then. Helpless, he had to go back to the livestream and send another comment.
"I added you. Please accept it."
"Okay, Brother Tianshen."
A moment later, Xiao Miandou accepted the friend request.
Seeing that Xiao Miandou was in the middle of a livestream and probably couldn't reply on WeChat, Lin Fei started chatting with her directly in the stream.
"Can I take you out to dinner?" Lin Fei asked directly.
"Dinner? I basically have a fan meetup once a month, over in City P, Shanghai. Where are you from, Brother Tianshen?"
"I'm from City H."
"Oh! That's not far then, just over a two-hour drive. Are you coming to see me, Brother Tianshen?"
"No, I don't have time." The fan meetup would definitely be crowded. Lin Fei felt there was no need for him to go. If they were to meet, it had to be a one-on-one meeting for something to happen.
"Mmm! A successful man like you, Brother Tianshen, must be very busy. But next month, the Douyu Carnival is being held right here in Hangzhou. There will be a chance to meet then!" Xiao Miandou said quickly.
"Haha, Xiao Miandou, are you hinting for Brother Tianshen to send rockets?" An onlooker immediately saw through Xiao Miandou's intention.
"The Carnival is just for harvesting the fans, a money pit..." a seasoned victim chimed in.
"Brother Tianshen, since you're here, aren't you going to send a few gifts before you leave?" This one was clearly a stream moderator.
Lin Fei casually sent a hundred "Super Fires," ignored Xiao Miandou, who was still thanking him profusely, and left.
Because his account was out of money.
Frustrated, Lin Fei complained to himself that the top-up limits on these streaming platforms were too small. He had to top up so many times each time. It would be great if he could just top up a hundred million at once.
Half an hour later, Lin Fei was online again!
This time, he had prepared an abundant supply of "ammunition," but he didn't click into Xiao Miandou's livestream.
Because he discovered that another high-popularity female streamer had come online!
Xiao Tiantian, also a dancing streamer, skilled in traditional, modern, and K-pop dance. She was quite cute, with a great figure. Curvy in all the right places. In terms of looks alone, she might be slightly inferior to Xiao Miandou, but her talent and content were better. Her looks were probably an 8 out of 10, but her talent was a perfect 10. She also had several million fans.
"Holy shit, Brother Tianshen, you're not watching Xiao Miandou? You came to Xiao Tiantian's stream instead?"
"Brother Tianshen, you just sent a hundred Super Rockets to Xiao Miandou, aren't you going to do something for Tiantian here?"
"Brother Tianshen, make a gesture. You should start with atleast a hundred Super Fires, right?"
"Stop trying to scam my Brother Tianshen, I'm his bodyguard."
"Brother Tianshen, don't send anything, let them die of anxiety."
The moment Lin Fei appeared, the stream's moderators, the sycophants, and the curious onlookers all became active. He was now pure traffic magnet. Wherever he went, he attracted a huge crowd.
"Wow, it's Brother Tianshen! Welcome to my livestream, Brother Tianshen!" Xiao Tiantian spotted Lin Fei and said excitedly.
Lin Fei watched the chaotic comments in the stream and typed a single sentence.
"Xiao Tiantian, your all-time top gifter spot is now mine."
As soon as this comment appeared, the stream erupted...
"Oh my god, Brother Tianshen is starting again."
"This is terrifying. Brother Tianshen, you need to calm down!"
"I just checked. Xiao Tiantian's all-time top gifter has contributed 18 million. And her top gifter is Dragon Emperor! Are you going to instantly surpass Dragon Emperor, Brother Tianshen?"
"Dragon Emperor has been a level-120 big shot for a while now. He owns several talent agencies himself, and I heard he's also one of the shareholders of T***** Group. Insanely powerful!"
"Brother Tianshen, play around all you want, but don't joke about Dragon Emperor!"
At this moment, the most excited one was still Xiao Tiantian. Her heart was pounding wildly. "Really? Brother Tianshen? I, I, I'm too excited..." Lin Fei hadn't even started sending gifts yet, and Xiao Tiantian was on the verge of tears.
Just as the stream's comments began to scroll frantically.
A golden rocket rose from the bottom of the screen, officially kicking off the battle.
From the first rocket Lin Fei sent, the endless rain of rockets never stopped. This gifting spree lasted for a full two hours. That's right, two full hours of non-stop gifting!
Xiao Tiantian's stream's popularity soared to an unprecedented 300 million, meaning at least three million people were watching her stream.
All the viewers in the stream were dumbfounded! Xiao Tiantian stood there with her mouth wide open, motionless, as if she had turned to stone.
Eighty percent of all viewers on the entire Douyu platform were drawn to Xiao Tiantian's livestream.
"I'm shocked, I'm numb. Brother Tianshen, you're too scary. Did you really send over ten thousand Super Fires??"
"This is insane! So awesome!"
"Brother Tianshen, do you have cancer? Is that why you want to give away all your wealth?"
"Who's talking shit? Don't talk about my dad like that! Dad, if you have too much money to spend, spend it on me! I can be your son!"
While Xiao Tiantian's stream was going crazy, the comments in Xiao Miandou's stream were sparse. Watching the endless rocket rain on the global chat, Xiao Miandou was so jealous she was about to explode.
She started to regret and wonder if she had said the wrong thing. When a big shot asked to meet, female streamers were always in a dilemma. Refusing might offend the big shot, but agreeing came with its own set of problems. What if the other person made excessive demands? If they did, should she comply? And if she did, and they got what they wanted, would they continue to support her? That's why Xiao Miandou had chosen the most conservative way to respond.
But she regretted it now. However, he had asked in the livestream, in front of so many fans. Even if she had wanted to agree, she couldn't. If she had, she could not only loose fans but also face all sorts of negative rumors online, which would make her streaming career incredibly difficult.
But now, looking at Xiao Tiantian's ten thousand rockets (that was twenty million) Xiao Miandou wanted to smash her phone. Was she an idiot? How could a big shot like Brother Tianshen be compared to an ordinary person!?
She had just subtly rejected him in the livestream. He must be angry now, feeling that he had lost face. For people like him, money was just a number, but they valued face the most. Twenty million!
Tomorrow's trending topic would definitely be about that slut Xiao Tiantian!
Originally, the topic of "God Descends" was firmly tied to her, but now it was all over!
Xiao Miandou wanted to die. She felt like ending the stream right then because her meentality had completely collapsed.
"Sorry, Xiao Miandou! I'm going to Xiao Tiantian's stream to watch the show!"
"Me too, me too, it's so lively over there! Haha!"
"I'm not going to watch Xiao Tiantian. I just want to see how many more rockets Brother God will send. I'm going dumb!"
"You traitors, you animals! Wait for me..."
Watching the popularity in her stream dwindle, Xiao Miandou, ignoring the fact that she was still live, picked up her phone and started sending Lin Fei a WeChat message.
"Brother Tianshen, I'm sorry, but the company has rules, so I couldn't agree to meet you in the livestream. Actually, I'm free these next few days. I happen to be thinking of traveling to Hangzhou. Would you be willing to be my tour guide?"
Lin Fei, who was still furiously sending rockets, suddenly saw a WeChat notification. It was from Xiao Miandou. He opened it and was stunned. What did this mean?
You refused to meet for dinner before, and now you suddenly have time to travel from Shanghai to Huanzhou? This change in attitude was so abrupt!
Could it be that she finally understood my "charisma"? It must be!
Forget it, I'm not sending any more today. I'm tired. Once Lin Fei stopped, he lost the mood.
It took the viewers in the stream a full five minutes to realize Lin Fei had stopped.
"It's over, it's finally over!"
"It's over?! I held my pee the whole time watching..."
"Twelve thousand seven hundred Super Fires! Oh my god, he sent a total of twelve thousand seven hundred Super Fires this time!"
"Welcome, Dragon Emperor!"
"Holy shit, Dragon Emperor, you're finally back! You know you just got completely owned, right? Your top gifter spot was instantly taken!"
"Before I knew Brother Tianshen, I thought sending a hundred rockets made you a rich guy. After knowing Brother Tianshen, I feel embarrassed to show off if I don't send at least a thousand Super Fires!"
By now, Xiao Tiantian was already in tears, sobbing uncontrollably. She didn't dare move an inch, afraid that she was dreaming.
At this moment, Lin Fei had already exited Douyu.
Seeing the rocket rain quietly stop, Xiao Miandou felt a little better. Brother Tianshen was indeed angry; otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped the moment he saw my message. I should have apologized sooner. That little bitch Xiao Tiantian just got twenty million RMB for free. It was infuriating!
Twenty million RMB!
Just thinking about it made her want to break down!
Forget it, I'm not streaming anymore!
Xiao Miandou ended her stream as well.
"Great! Xiao Miandou, you want to come to Hangzhou for a trip? I'll definitely be your guide and make sure your trip is worthwhile!" Lin Fei replied to Xiao Miandou on WeChat.
"Then it's settled! Brother Tianshen, I'll come this Saturday, is that okay?" Xiao Miandou couldn't wait. Her most important task now was to quickly develop a closer relationship with this "God." If there was even the slightest chance for him to fall for her, even if it meant being his mistress or his lover, then what did it matter if she streamed or not?
He had just spent thirty million on the platform in two sessions, and she heard he spent another ten million on Douyin. A god-tier tycoon who would casually spend forty million on livestreaming, how could he be stingy with the woman he kept?
"No problem. Whenever you come, I'll have time."
Having successfully arranged a meeting with Xiao Miandou, Lin Fei felt it was a bit unbelievable. He really hadn't expected such a major streamer to be so easy to meet.
And to have her fly from Shanghai to Hangzhou to see him. It was true that money could make the world go round!
After replying, Lin Fei logged back into Douyu. He wanted to see if Xiao Tiantian had sent him a private message, considering all the money he had spent.
Lin Fei opened the backend and quickly found Xiao Tiantian's message.
"Thank you, Brother Tianshen, for becoming my top gifter. Brother, can we add each other on WeChat?"
Besides Xiao Tiantian's message, another one caught Lin Fei's attention. "Hello, Brother God Descends, I'm Dragon Emperor. Let's be friends. We're both in the same circle, and more friends mean more paths. I have a WeChat group full of Douyu's Noble Emperors, all elites from various industries. We can look out for each other in business matters in the future. Would you do me the honor, Brother Tianshen?"
This Dragon Emperor's account was also at the max level of 120, a real tycoon.
Lin Fei thought for a moment. Joining a circle of tycoons didn't seem to have any downsides, so he directly sent his WeChat ID.
At the same time, he didn't forget to add Xiao Tiantian as a friend on WeChat.
A moment later, Lin Fei was pulled into a WeChat group.
There weren't many people in this group, just over thirty in total.
The moment Lin Fei entered, the entire group exploded.
"Holy shit, Brother God Descends, is it really the one and only God Descends?"
"Dragon Emperor, you're awesome! You actually pulled Brother God Descends into the group. I feel like the entire group's status has been elevated!"
"From now on, if I say I know Brother God Descends, that'll be so cool, right? Haha."
"Big shot, please look after us in the future!"
Although everyone in this WeChat group was an "Emperor," emperors had their own hierarchy. A big shot like Lin Fei, who could spend tens of millions in one go, was at the very top of the pyramid, even in a group of emperors!
