Chaрtеr 5: It’s Just Моnеy, I’d Even Givе Yоu My Lifе
[Yang Yang frоm Sistеr Wu’s Fаmilу: I’vе dug оut evеrуthing I hаd sаved. Mаinly becausе I сouldn’t bоrrоw аnу mоneу—dаmn it, nоt a single реrson wаs willing to lend me аny. Whу is that? So I bloсked thеm all.]
Не had alrеady spеnt оvеr twо thousand аnd оriginаllу wanted tо borrоw anothеr two thousаnd or so tо make it five thоusаnd, but hе didn’t manаgе to borrow а single сеnt.
Thesе unreliablе relаtivеs аnd friends—if I dоn’t block thеm, what am I kеерing them around for, to celebrаtе the New Year?
Surе еnough, the oррosing side’s big spender struck again. With three Carnivals sent out, the score gap widened once more, and the PK time was about to end.
The livestream was filled with gloom and despair, with everyone sighing in disappointment!
Song Jingwu wasn’t surprised at all. After all, that big spender on the other side, Shi Yi Yun, had embezzled 1 million yuan of public funds. Judging by his level, he had probably already spent at least seven or eight hundred thousand, leaving at most two hundred thousand to spend.
“It’s fine. Winning and losing are just like eating—lose enough times, and you’ll grow up.”
Song Jingwu revealed a bright smile, switched back to her own voice, her gaze sincere and her tone gentle and soft.
But just at the last moment, when everyone thought the outcome was settled, a dazzling Carnival special effect soared into the air like a savior!
Wait, no!
Immediately followed by a second, a third, a fourth… a full ten in total!
Wow! The score was completely reversed!
Everyone in the livestream, including Song Jingwu, rubbed their eyes in disbelief. When they looked again at the score, their side was actually leading by a whopping two hundred thousand votes!
[User “One Promise Worth a Thousand Gold” sent Carnival*10] (300,000 Tomato)
“Wow~ Thank you, big spender One Promise Worth a Thousand Gold, for the Carnivals. You’ve finally saved me from starving. Thank you so much!”
Song Jingwu was genuinely shocked. It seemed the power of that certain actor’s voice was truly extraordinary!
If she could actually get the real person into her livestream, wouldn’t she become rich overnight?
By now, the chat in the livestream had gone wild, with a flood of thank-you messages—
[Wow, wow, wow! Big spender One Promise Worth a Thousand Gold is so cool, absolutely awesome! Thank you, big spender!]
[Big spender, you’re mighty 87! Please accept my humble bow!]
[Yan Yan’er: Thank you, big spender One Promise Worth a Thousand Gold, I’m crying for real! You’re the hero! You’re my god!]
[Little Star: Ahhhhhh! Congratulations, Mist Treasure, for gaining a big spender! My Mist Treasure finally has her first big spender—I’m crying!]
[Dragon Horse Spirit: See, I told you we wouldn’t lose.]
One Promise Worth a Thousand Gold was so flattered by the praise that he felt like he was floating, his grin almost reaching the back of his ears. It really felt damn good to be the top spender!
Too bad it was just this once.
If his boss hadn’t told him to send gifts, he would never have spent his own money tipping a female streamer. Forget sending Carnivals—he wouldn’t even send a fan Light Board. After all, in daily life, he was the kind of person who haggled over the price of a single scallion.
But today, at this very moment, he was thoroughly enjoying it!
[Yan Yan’er: Big spender One Promise Worth a Thousand Gold, remember to follow, join the fan club, and light up your Light Board~]
So, he only clicked follow. After all, joining the fan club would cost 0.1 yuan—better not bother.
Maybe someday he’d go to someone else’s livestream to try snatching a Lucky Bag and see if he could get some Tomato. Then he’d come back to join the fan club and light up his Light Board.
Just then, his cousin Yang Yang sent him a private message: [Was your account hacked? Don’t tell me you’re that stingy Xu Nuo?]
One Promise Worth a Thousand Gold: [How can you talk like that? I’m your cousin!]Yangyang: [Haha, did you get yourself a sugar mommy? Weren’t you saying you had no money? Dropping 30,000 yuan in one go is really generous!]
One Promise Worth a Thousand Gold: [My boss told me to send the gift. He’ll reimburse me.]
Yangyang couldn’t believe it: [Who? Damn! Your boss has taken a liking to my Sister Wu?]
Back in the livestream, it was now Song Jingwu’s turn to be sarcastic: “Sorry, I’m only ahead by 200,000 votes. Looks like your big brother’s public funds are almost used up, huh?”
Zhang Shuishui was angry, but remembering that one more round would decide the winner, she rolled her eyes and said, “Let’s talk after the final round!”
Then she muted the mic and reset the PK. She began frantically batting her eyelashes and cooing at her big brother Shi Yi Yun, pulling out all the stops to rally votes. After all, losing meant removing her makeup and turning off the beauty filters—she absolutely could not lose!
[Shuishui’s Rabbit: Brother Shi Yi Yun, it’s all up to you now~ You’re the best! Crush that little bitch on the other side!]
Shi Yi Yun was actually feeling a bit uneasy. He had embezzled one million yuan in public funds and had already spent 850,000 in Zhang Shuishui’s livestream, leaving only the last 150,000.
Damn, this really doesn’t last long!
To be honest, he was suddenly hesitating.
But then he saw the private message Zhang Shuishui sent: [Brother Yun, don’t worry. If you help me win this time, I’ll meet you this Saturday and treat you to dinner and a movie, okay?]
So, he slapped himself hard across the face—how could he have hesitated just now?
Spend!
What’s money anyway?!
I’d give you my life.
