Tutu also earned over 10,000 points in the first round of mic time.
Brother Feng from Dai Daiyu’s camp came in hot with a “Sailing for Love” right off the bat, accumulating 55,000 points in the first round.
Lizi was one of the most popular streamers at Tangyu Media—from the moment her face appeared on screen until the mic segment ended, all kinds of special effects flew across the screen without a single second of dead air.
Her big supporter Yuchuan directly dropped 100 carnivals, leaving Tutu’s jaw on the floor. So this was what a top streamer’s firepower looked like?
100 x 3000 meant 300,000 RMB. An Mengyue felt a surge of excitement herself, imagining a screen full of people calling her “Big Sister Boss.” The more she thought about it, the more fired up she got.
Tutu couldn’t survive past the third round of mic time, stopping at 38,000 points, just short of the top 40.
After comforting Tutu, An Mengyue adjusted her mindset and took the stage, raising the mic with confidence:
“Hello everyone, I’m Dongdongmao from Wantang 2016. Thank you all for your support and company. Kitty needs 20,000 points right now—if you like me, feel free to show some support…”
Mid-sentence, she heard the host announce: “Dongdongmao’s camp has 500,000 points—passed, passed!”
500,000 points? She was completely baffled. A screen-floating message slowly scrolled past the barrage.
[Negative Wallet Express. Add V: Kitty’s camp passed 500k, baby be happy and joyful]
Confirming that score was indeed for her, An Mengyue gripped the mic tightly, stepped forward, and said excitedly: “Oh my god! Are you guys out of your minds?”
Returning to her seat and passing the mic to the next streamer, she stared blankly at the screen, not even remembering how she got off the stage.
[Dongdongmao: How do you guys have this much guts?]
[Fu Yuexiang: Haha, we’re not holding back—fighting for the kid is only right]
[Princess Yaoyao: Kitty’s expression just now was hilarious!]
[Dongdongmao: [warning hand]]
Everyone was laughing and joking on the surface, but she knew in her heart—this was 50,000 RMB. Her fans could be counted on two hands, all working-class people and students. This was no small amount for them.
Her heart was full of gratitude, but she’d already said too many thank-yous. She just hoped her fans would spend rationally.
Tutu hesitated, ready to head home, but under An Mengyue’s pleading, she chose to stay. The two sat in the lounge chatting.
“Kitty, you’re doing better and better now. I’m really envious.”
An Mengyue smiled softly. “You just need to be yourself. Your light will come eventually.”
“What about President Ku? Is he coming today?” Tutu asked out of nowhere while sipping her milk tea.
“I don’t know. He’s so busy. Even if he came, I’d probably be done for by then.”
Speaking of President Ku, their chat history was still stuck at two days ago. Programmers really were busy, and that was fine—she didn’t have any male fans anyway, and receiving that many gifts made her feel a bit awkward.
Watching Youzi and Taozai from Wantang 2014 stand on stage, she half-leaned into the sofa, shielding her privacy screen as she entered the livestream room.

[Fafafa: Boss Sister is here! The light of our 2014!]
[tumor: Boss Sister spreading the wealth to everyone—the most badass woman]
[Tianwai Youfeng: Boss Sister, YYDS!]
The phone was on silent, but she could hear the host team’s voices loud and clear from the stage, almost roaring with excitement.
“Thank you to our Boss Lady~ for the shower of Huazi! Every sister in 2014 gets one! Our Boss Lady is the most badass woman!”
She had to admit, hearing that kind of emotional payoff firsthand was pretty nice. She couldn’t help but let out a snicker. Beside her, Tutu looked at her with a puzzled expression. “What are you laughing at?”
She put her phone away and shook her head. This feeling was way too fun!
The lounge was anything but quiet—staff members were running in and out, occasionally one or two delivery guys bursting in and shouting, “Whose order is this?”
Some streamers were chatting and laughing, while others looked worried. An Mengyue, lounging like a boss, leaned back on the sofa sipping her milk tea.
When the third round of microphones came around, she was grouped with Quqi from 2014, eight people in total. Remembering her bold words from earlier, she felt a bit uneasy. She hid her phone behind her back, grateful that there were two people between them so they wouldn’t appear on screen at the same time.
She’d just quietly scroll through and stay silent for now!
She had to keep her expression under control!
This round required a base score of 70,000. She took the microphone with her right hand, knowing all her time now belonged to her fans. “Hi everyone, I’m Dongdongmao from Wantang 2016. Today, I really want to thank my Baobaos for bringing me this far. Thank you all, I love you.”
It was almost a giving-up style of campaigning. Wu Tao, the operations manager, shook his head from below the stage. This stubborn cat never listened no matter how many times he told her. He was already thinking about how to schedule a meeting with her.
Her fans were sending her all kinds of small gifts, and she thanked each and every one of them—even a one-cent little heart wouldn’t be missed. Anyone who supported her, she wanted to remember.
The microphone passed to Quqi, and she quietly lowered her head to pull out her phone, wanting nothing more than to finish her gifting and leave.
[User “Bossy Lemon Coffee” sent Carnival*1] x25…… (30,000 diamonds)
As she clicked, Quqi’s sweet voice rang out beside her, “Thank you, my Bossy Sister! You’re the biggest confidence we have in 2014! Thank you, sister! We love you!”
The host was also thanking her excitedly. Just as she was about to finish the 30th one, a familiar name appeared above her on the screen.
[User “Coolest Villain” sent Carnival*1] x29 x30 x31 (30,000 diamonds)
She looked up in shock. Because Coolest Villain was sending gifts faster, the two IDs kept alternating and overlapping on the big screen.
He was number one, she was number two. The feeling was surreal.
Shark and Wu Tao immediately rushed forward to claim the gifts.
Coolest Villain was Dongdongmao’s big spender!
[Fu Yuexiang: AHHHHHH! President Ku is here!]
[Fillet Nori: I’ve been waiting for days, and finally President Ku is here! Ku-Mao!]
[Xiao Douding: AHHH! Boss Lady! The most badass woman!]
[Xiao Yan Loves Egg Tarts: Boss Lady! Our Boss Lady is the most badass woman!]
[Princess Yaoyao: President Ku! Our President Ku is the coolest and most handsome man!]
The camera cut to her, but she still hadn’t snapped out of her shock. Seeing the microphone being handed to her by the person next to her, her breathing quickened involuntarily. She hid her phone and took the microphone.
“Boss Ku, what are you doing??”
Wu Tao, who had stars in his eyes just moments ago, now saw black. He wished he could rush up on stage to thank him himself, frantically gesturing from below. But An Mengyue was glued to the big screen, completely ignoring his reminders.
【Coolest Villain: Late again】(Screen-Floating Message)
The exchange between the two was oddly terse, each speaking fewer words than the last. The hosting team quickly stepped in to smooth things over, ushering the pair off the stage.
“Thanks to our Boss Lady and President Ku for their support of Quqi and the kitty. Thank you, big brothers and sisters, that was absolutely fantastic—the Huazi rain was pure romance!”
An Mengyue sprinted off the stage without a second glance, brushing past Wu Tao as she headed straight for the quieter lounge area.
