Сhaptеr 13: Аnоthеr Rоund
Suppressing thе uрward curvе of her liрs, Jiаng Fu’s еуеs sрarklеd with surрrisе bеfore shifting tо heartfelt emоtiоn. Piсking uр thе miсrоphоnе, hеr soft, deliсаte vоice rang оut:
“Thаnk you, Brоther S, thаnk yоu, Вrother Zе Hui. Fu Fu is so touсhеd thаt уou steрреd in tо save mе without hеsitation!
Stаrting from round twеnty, Fu Fu was rеally worriеd аbоut being stоlеn from. I truly didn’t want tо seе уou wastе your vоtes оn mе, еspеciallу you, Вrоthеr Ze Hui. At first, I thought you were hеrе specificаllу to assassinаtе me, but now seeing you defend me, Fu Fu is genuinely moved~
I also want to thank all my family who canvassed for me and cheered me on. Your support is the confidence and backing that keeps me standing on this stage.
At the same time, thank you, Brother Yiming, for your generous support on your first visit to the Dreamweaving livestream. I hope you enjoy yourself and have a great time, Brother Qingfeng as well.”
Jiang Fu’s words remained as pleasing as ever, offering each person the emotional value they desired.
At that moment, many in the livestream felt a sense of lingering excitement, with quite a few urging:
“Brother Yiming, go for another assassination attempt—you might just succeed this time!”
“Brother Qingfeng, there’s still hope—don’t give up!”
“Assassin Brigade, assemble! We love watching the two defending Big Brothers’ special effects!”
……
Seeing the rowdy barrage comments, Jiang Fu pouted and pointed at the screen, pretending to be angry, which only made people exclaim, “Fu Fu looks so cute when she’s angry—it makes us want to assassinate her even more!”
Jiang Fu’s inner thoughts: Very well, very well~
The twenty-fifth round of the “Stay vs. Swap” PK began again. Jiang Fu danced along with the music, and almost the moment she started moving, the Little Douyin bar surged forward, instantly reaching 99,900. Everyone looked back at the gift notifications scrolling across the screen, which displayed:
“Yiming Machinery sent 999 Little Douyins × 100 sets”
As expected, this Assassin wouldn’t give up easily.
One hundred sets of 999 Little Douyins—truly a high-level Big Brother, his strength not to be underestimated.
“Thank you, Brother Yiming, for taking the lead! The Assassin Brigade is following suit!”
The host also began rallying the Assassin Brigade to take action, and soon many 188 Little Douyins were added to the bar.
Not to be outdone, Shi Li Qingfeng sent 66 sets of 1314 Little Douyins, pushing the Little Douyin bar straight to 198,988, nearly reaching 200,000.
And the momentum of Little Douyin’s growth showed no signs of stopping. Yiming Machinery sent another 66 sets of 999 Little Douyins, and Shi Li Qingfeng followed up with another 50 sets of 1314 Little Douyins.
Over two minutes passed quickly, and the numbers on the Little Douyin bar continued to climb:
330,622…457,888…667,888… As the final ten seconds of Tower Defense and Tower Stealing arrived,
the Little Douyin score was still rising, seemingly about to reach 900,000. Jiang Fu couldn’t help but inwardly gasp in shock.
The countdown reached 3, 2, 1!
The countdown ended.
The score was fixed at: Stay 168 vs. Swap 998,188!
The massive gap led everyone to believe that the two defending Big Brothers had already given up on their defense.
Either they stopped simultaneously, or they both stopped sending gifts.
Jiang Fu was puzzled. These two hadn’t communicated with each other, nor were they mind-readers. How could their actions be so perfectly synchronized every time?
Zhou Jingze was also perplexed at that moment.
Because he understood Yiming Machinery—he knew the other party struck quickly and ruthlessly, and was skilled at Tower Stealing. Sending gifts to the bar himself might not give him any advantage, so he hadn’t competed with the other side on the bar.So why is this Simon also holding back?
Fu Siyan, of course, had no idea why Ze Hui hadn’t made a move either, just like him.
He held back only because he anticipated that the assassins would continue. Rather than constantly tapping Little Hearts, he preferred to save with double the impact.
After all, Fu Siyan was not short on money.
At this moment, the rescue countdown reappeared above Jiang Fu’s head. Since nearly 2 million points were needed to save her, the host announced a new time-extension rule:
Gifts worth 30,000 points or more could pause the countdown for one second, buying Jiang Fu more time to rally votes.
The microphone was passed to Jiang Fu. Unsure what to say at first, she simply took it. Before she could speak, a Snow Mountain Enchanting Fox effect appeared on the screen, followed by Zhou Jingze’s comment:
[Ze Hui: Don’t be sad, Fufu.]
Immediately, the gift display showed: “Ze Hui sent Snow Mountain Enchanting Fox × 100.”
All rescue points were successfully contributed.
Being saved so effortlessly made the Assassin Brigade seem rather unimpressive.
One hundred sets of Snow Mountain Enchanting Fox successfully extended the time by 30 seconds.
Now the process had evolved to the point where Jiang Fu didn’t even need to say a word before being successfully rescued.
Alongside Zhou Jingze, “Maruko Maruko” also took action, sending a Private Jet. Following closely were other devoted fans like “Moonlight” and “Wuwuwuwu,” who sent Porsche fleets.
Seeing herself successfully saved by everyone, Jiang Fu crossed her arms in front of her chest in a hugging gesture, then blew a kiss to the screen.
She then picked up the microphone and said, “Thank you, Brother Ze, for showing Fufu such beautiful effects again! Thank you, Maruko Wife, for the Private Jet, and thank you, Moonlight Wife and Wu Wife, for the Porsche fleets. Fufu is happy again~ Love you all!”
Thanks to the 30-plus-second extension, the rescue countdown remained frozen.
Finally, the silent Fu Siyan made his move. The gift display began to show:
“Simon sent Only Love for a Lifetime × 10”
“Simon sent Carnival × 10”
“Simon sent Tremolo One × 10”
“Simon sent Cloud Secret Realm × 10”
“Simon sent Dream Castle × 10”
“Simon sent Always with You × 10”
“Simon sent Romantic Carriage × 10”
…
Fu Siyan sent ten sets of every gift in the shop worth over 10,000 points. His level successfully rose to 55.
Following this, Fu Siyan’s comment floated across the screen:
[Simon: Since you like watching effects, might as well enjoy them to the fullest.]
After sending the message, Fu Siyan didn’t stop.
“Simon sent Dragon-Seeking Ranger × 20”
“Simon sent Snow Mountain Enchanting Fox × 20”
“Simon sent Dream Back to Tang Dynasty × 20”
“Simon sent Soaring Dragon in the Heavens × 20”
…
The effects now appearing on the screen were all special gifts from the Mystery Shop, each requiring additional spending to unlock. Their splendor far surpassed ordinary gifts, and naturally, their prices were several times higher as well.
After this spending spree, Fu Siyan’s account leveled up again, reaching 56—now on par with Zhou Jingze.
This also meant that in a single day, Fu Siyan had spent 2 million!
Two million in one day?
It was simply impossible to judge Fu Siyan by normal spending standards.At this point, Fu Siyan’s strength and his fondness for Jiang Fu were beyond doubt.
Watching the screen filled with special effects, Jiang Fu bowed to the camera, then made a heart shape with her hands against her cheek and said:
“Thank you, Brother S, for your affection. Brother S, you’re so handsome!”
“So many special effects, letting everyone enjoy them all at once—you’re really spoiling me.”
“Congratulations to Brother S for leveling up seven times in a row! May your wealth rise, your luck rise, your looks rise, and may you earn a small target every day!”
Jiang Fu praised Fu Siyan with a string of compliments in one breath, and in her heart, she felt a greater recognition of his strength.
On the other side of the screen, Fu Siyan, who was being praised by Jiang Fu, showed a very obvious smile on his usually indifferent face, filled with affection.
This wave of extravagant gifting also made Zhou Jingze realize Simon’s strength, after all, it had taken Zhou Jingze half a month to reach level 56.
It seemed that Simon’s fondness for Jiang Fu was no less than his own. Zhou Jingze felt he should show more of his sincerity.
His opponent was stronger than he had imagined.
As Fu Siyan wildly gifted millions, many people had already started shipping him with Jiang Fu.
Leveling up for love was just too compelling. Even the Assassin “Yiming Machinery” began teasing in the comments:
【Why isn’t anyone shipping you with Fu Fu, Boss Ze? Looks like I haven’t stabbed enough, haven’t given enough opportunities.】
Zhou Jingze wasn’t annoyed when he saw the comment and replied:
【Indeed, it’s all your fault. Stab more next time.】
