After cutting the connection, she was so happy she swayed back and forth like a pendulum, her head bobbing along.
【Bao: Are you really that happy?】
You Yu: “I am! It’s my first day streaming and I’ve already received so many gifts. Thank you, Brother Bao.”
【Bao: I don’t believe you.】
She leaned slightly forward. The closer she got, the clearer the image, and that porcelain-white, flawless little face was laid completely bare.
She brought her eyes close to the camera. ”Really, thank you so much, Brother Bao. If you don’t believe me, look at my sincere big eyes.”
She blinked twice, her long lashes like butterflies about to take flight, gently fluttering against people’s hearts.
“Brother Bao, would you like to hear a song?”
【Bao: I don’t like songs. I only watch dancing.】
【Yibiao Tangtang: Big Brother is from the dance section, hahaha.】
“Well, what do I do then? I can’t dance.”
【Bao: Mm, I can tell.】
“What do you mean by that… Huh? Wanwan is calling me for a Live Link-up. Should I accept?”
Just as she was speaking, a link-up request suddenly popped up on her screen.
【Bao: Up to you.】
You Yu hesitated for a moment, but chose to accept.
The moment she connected, a barrage of rapid-fire words came flying at her.
Wanwan: “Brother Bao, Brother Bao, where did you go? Did some wicked woman lure you away? I’m about to be beaten to death here.”
She called out in a sweet, affected voice, brushing You Yu aside in just a few words while acting coquettish toward the big spender.
Normally, a big spender would feel too embarrassed and rush back to send gifts double.
【Bao gifted Wanwan Treasure Map ×1】(5,000,000)
Stealing someone’s big spender through a special link-up like this was a truly nasty move.
You Yu just smiled, pouting her lips like a goldfish, saying nothing at all.
Wanwan: “Thank you, my Brother Bao, for the Treasure Map. Welcome home, my Brother Bao~”
Then she hastily tossed out one more line: “I’m off now!”
The next second, she cut the Live Link-up.
【I Don’t Like Eating Tomatoes: ?】
【I Don’t Like Eating Tomatoes: What’s that supposed to mean? Poaching a big spender on someone else’s stream—isn’t it his freedom to spend wherever he wants?】
【Yibiao Tangtang: Big spenders from the dance section are rare to begin with. When one finally shows up, of course they’ll fight tooth and nail to keep him.】
You Yu’s expression didn’t change at all—she didn’t look like someone who had just been dealt a blow.
She still said with a smile, “It’s fine, really.”
Meanwhile, in Feichang’s Live Stream Room—
Two-thirds of the screen showed his face, and the other third was the Public Chat Screen where everyone chatted.
The viewers’ bullet chat messages came one after another, too fast to keep up with.
A talk show channel streamer’s daily routine was chatting and raking in money. But you couldn’t just rake in money all the time—sometimes you had to chat with the audience and build up the atmosphere.
Feichang replied to a few visible messages as usual.
【Xu Sanduo ate his fill again today.】
“Well, of course he’s eating well now that Brother Evan is back.”
“Sure, Brother Evan spends on lots of streamers in Star Show, both men and women, but go ask around—among all these male streamers, who isn’t envious of Xu Sanduo? Everyone else gets gifts depending on Evan’s mood, but the moment Xu Sanduo comes online, the big spender feeds him. Just look how fat he’s gotten.”
Evan entered the Live Stream Room.
When an account with a Peerage Title of Lord or above entered a Live Stream Room, an entry notification would appear in the upper-left corner, and even their chat messages on the Public Chat Screen had a colored background according to rank—Emperor was gold.
It caught everyone’s attention instantly.
【Speak of the devil.】
【Welcome, Brother Evan.】
【Welcome, Brother Evan.】
The atmosphere crews in big streamers’ live stream rooms are always on point—the moment someone arrives, the welcome messages flood the screen. That’s exactly why some big spenders love to shower money in crowded live stream rooms. It’s about the prestige.
“Speak of the devil! Brother Evan, long time no see. Have you forgotten your little brother? It truly breaks my heart—”
【Evan: Do you miss me, or do you miss my gifts?】
“Both, of course! Brother Evan, look at your little brother—I’ve wasted away from hunger, while Sanduo’s been eating so well he’s gotten fat, and you just keep feeding him.”
While keeping an eye out for the big spender’s replies, he also kept chatting with the other viewers in the live stream room. With talk-streaming, you can never let the room’s momentum die.
【That white-account big spender from the dance category just got dragged back by that Wanwan from the streamer girl’s room.】
【Wanwan from the dance category really has no class, managing her big spender all the way into someone else’s live stream room.】
“That’s how the dance category people are—so petty. Look at me, I never hold Brother Evan hostage. If the big spender wants to spend somewhere else, he’s free to go. That’s a big spender’s freedom.”
Answering viewers’ questions while perfectly spinning it back into a round of flattery for the big spender—that’s Feichang’s skill.
【Evan: What streamer girl?】
A gleaming golden reply hung at the very top of the public chat screen.
Feichang scratched his head. “A really pretty streamer girl—the one from this punishment hanging above my head. She’s called Drunken Fish.”
When it came to big spenders like Evan who weren’t his own, Feichang wasn’t the least bit afraid of a female streamer luring them away. Big spenders of that caliber can’t be kept anyway. Besides, if the big spender did take a liking to the streamer girl, he could sell her a favor and profit off it too.
【Evan: ..】
“Brother Evan, stop thinking about that seductress. Your little brother is hungry—your little brother is truly starving—”
Feichang wailed loudly at the camera.
One way or another, he had to get a bite first.
【Evan gifted Feichang Treasure Map ×5】(25,000,000 Meow Coins)
【Whoa】
【Holy crap】
【】
【Thank you, Brother Evan.】
【Thanks, big spender.】
“Ahhh, thank you, my Brother Evan, for feeding me!”
Shouting, he opened his mouth wide, tilted his head back, and mimed catching the gift in midair, chomping away.
【Evan: … …】
“Thank you, my Brother Evan! This man is so handsome!”
Feichang’s delight was written all over his face.
“Your little brother finally got fed. Brother Evan, why not go take a look at that streamer girl? She’s gorgeous, truly.”
Best to lure Evan away from Xu Sanduo. There were only a few top streamers in Star Show, and to boost revenue, they’d schedule PK Battles with each other. Whenever Evan was around, he never dared PK Xu Sanduo—losing too much didn’t just fail to boost revenue, it hurt the live stream room’s morale.
【Evan: Sure, take a look.】
Feichang swiftly typed in her ID and clicked to invite a Live Link-up.
A pop-up appeared: the user is offline.
Feichang let out an exaggerated “Aiya!” “Brother Evan, it’s not that I don’t want to show you—she just happened to go offline. Next time, okay? Next time? Feichang keeps his word.”
【Evan: No worries, forget it then.】
【Evan gifted Feichang Treasure Map ×1】(5,000,000 Meow Coins)
【Evan: I’m off.】
“Thank you, Brother Evan. Brother Evan, you’re so generous—every time you’re online, you come check on your little brother. Your little brother is so touched… …”
【Stop sucking up, stop sucking up, the big spender’s gone.】
【He already left, and you’re still sucking up?】
The next second, Feichang saw gift banners from Evan, sent to other streamers, floating everywhere across the screen.
“Brother Evan really is rich. I’d say he’s one of the wealthiest big spenders on Maoya right now, but it feels like he hasn’t been online much lately—maybe Star Show just doesn’t appeal to him anymore.”
[Jinx.]
[Don’t gossip about the big spender behind his back.]
[The way you’re talking, if Xu Sanduo finds out, he’ll open a Special Session just for you. There are plenty of 233 loyal fans in this Live Stream Room.]
“Fine, fine, fine, my bad.” With that, he lightly slapped his own face a couple of times.
“I slapped myself, happy now?”
[Hit harder.]
[Did you not eat? Not eat? Not eat?]
[Weak?]
[So half-hearted—put some force into it.]
