44: Mini-Battle - 3

While "Wen Yu's Girlfriend" was busy with internal squabbles, tearing each other apart, and maximizing the entertainment value, the opposing side, "Xing Yu Xin Yuan," wasn't idle either.

After all, as an old hall that had been open for three months, its foundation and the stability of its big brothers were indeed much stronger than that of a new hall. Taking advantage of the "internal strife" on this side, they put in all their effort to continuously close the gap.

During this time, Yao Yao privately asked Zhi Xia several times, "Can we start sending gifts now?" Zhi Xia's reply was always, "Wait a bit longer, we still have some gifts left to send on our side," "Stay calm, you've got him wrapped around your finger so well, what's the rush?"

As time passed, Yao Yao grew increasingly anxious, gradually losing the mood to chat idly with the Sisters.

Others might not know, but she was crystal clear in her heart—she had him wrapped around her finger? What a joke!

This big brother was getting a massage! Who knew if there were other services after the massage?

What if he got in the mood and went off to attend to another woman? Then the duck that was already cooked would truly fly away.

Could she really expect him to finish in three minutes and rush back before the PK ended?

The time reached 8:45, with only 15 minutes left until the end of the Hall Battle. The scores on both sides became 146,280 : 167,948.

Zhi Xia asked her streamers again, confirming that all the big brothers' gifts had been sent, then went to communicate with the opposing Hall Manager before finally starting to adjust the lineup.

She replaced the streamers on the mic with herself, Minnie, Sweet Girl, Xiao Meng—all of whom were relatively familiar with Brother Ye—and Yao Yao, who had remained steadily in the top mic position without moving.

Then, she sent Yao Yao a WeChat message: "It's about time, Yao Yao, you can ask Brother Ye to send gifts now! Reel him in!"

Finally receiving the signal, Yao Yao quickly turned on her mic and raised her voice in the still somewhat noisy hall: "Gege~ Gege~"

As soon as she called out, Minnie and Sweet Girl on the mic immediately turned into drama queens, simultaneously putting on exaggerated voices and following up with even more exaggerated tones:

"Giegie~ Giegie~ You can send gifts now~"

"Brother-in-law Giegie~! Look at me~!"

Yao Yao was left with a face full of exasperation, but she didn't have time to argue with them. She quickly spoke into the microphone: "Gege! You can help me send gifts now!"

Hearing the call, Jiang Ye stretched comfortably on the massage bed, feeling all his muscles and bones relax.

This high-end massage was truly worth the money, especially since the technician was a beauty with both looks and skills, maximizing both physical and mental pleasure.

Xiao Yu tidied up the tools, smiled, and bowed: "Ge, all the services are done. Please rest for a bit. If you need anything, just press the bell to call me."

After saying this, she quietly exited the private room.

Jiang Ye opened WeChat, glanced at the pair of 9,400-yuan sneakers Yao Yao had sent earlier, looked at the over 240,000 diamonds in his TikTok account, and grinned.

The Girl had both sent a "souvenir" and proactively transferred 5,000 yuan for clothes—such "sincerity." Naturally, he, Jiang Ye, couldn't be stingy either.

Sending in 30,000 yuan, according to the split mentioned online, she should get at least 13,000 to 14,000 yuan, which would be worthy of her efforts.

And after this round of gifting, by the time she had another Hall Battle or assessment, those sneakers would probably be in her hands.

Tsk... streamer Girls are really the best!

Clear goals, straightforward tactics—they really pull out all the stops to make money.

Jiang Ye smiled and typed in the live stream: "Coming, coming! Yao Yao, tell me, what gift do you want to see?"

Seeing the main player about to start making moves, Zhi Xia, Minnie, and the others on the mic immediately quieted down, leaving the stage entirely to Yao Yao.

Yao Yao took a deep breath and said cautiously, "Anything is fine, Ge. Whatever you send, I'll like it."

Jiang Ye: "You choose. Pick what you like."

Yao Yao hesitated for a moment, then quickly switched to WeChat to ask Zhi Xia: "Sister Zhi Xia, is there any gift that gives the guild extra rewards? I remember once during a Hall Battle, the carrot gave an extra 8 yuan, right?"

Zhi Xia: "...Look at how petty you are!"

Zhi Xia: "Are you short of those ten or eight yuan? Have him send you items from the Exhibition Hall! Pick the expensive ones! You can use the 'completed Exhibition Hall' excuse to make another round of money tomorrow or the day after! The Full Exhibition Reward is 188!"

Oh? Another round of money-making?!

Yao Yao thought this made a lot of sense!

She returned to the live stream, opened her Exhibition Hall, and looked: "Gege~ Then... could you send me a Carnival?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the live stream suddenly lit up with the plain and unadorned floor tile effect!

"Brother Ye gifted Yao Yao 丶Brother Ye's Exclusive Favorite a Carnival * 1"

"Wow! A Carnival!"

"Sister Yao Yao is so lucky!"

"Brother Ye is awesome!"

The live stream once again erupted with envious exclamations.

Feeling much more at ease, Yao Yao's voice became lighter and more cheerful: "Thank you, Ge! Ge, I also want two more... Cloud Secret Realm, is that okay?"

This time, she waited a bit. Brother Ye seemed to be looking for where this item was.

Over ten seconds later, a magnificent airship on the screen broke through the clouds, heading toward a dreamy castle floating in the sky!

The effect lasted a full several seconds.

Immediately after, it repeated once more!

"Brother Ye gifted Yao Yao 丶Brother Ye's Exclusive Favorite Cloud Secret Realm * 2"

After these two rounds of gifts, Yao Yao's score jumped from 57,777 to 114,057! Breaking through the 100,000 mark!

"100,000! Yao Yao has 100,000 points!"

"Wuwuwu, I'm so envious my legs won't close."

"Dou Zong Powerhouse... terrifyingly powerful!"

The streamers' exclamations and the "666" scrolling on the public screen almost flooded the screen.

Yao Yao looked at the string of numbers beneath her feet that had once seemed unreachable, her heart pounding wildly.

It's back! It's back!

Not only had the 5,000 yuan returned, but she had even made a profit!

The immense joy and sense of security left her feeling a bit dizzy.

Suppressing her excitement, she cautiously tested the waters: "Ge... can I ask for one more?"

Brother Ye: "Of course! I'm young and strong, how could two times be enough? Hurry up! The PK is about to end."

Yao Yao instinctively glanced at the total score: 202,560 : 168,048. Their hall had already secured the win.

And the gifts Brother Ye had sent her were approaching the 12,000 she had previously expected... Could she really ask for more?

"Ge? Really... is it still okay?"

Brother Ye: "That's a weird way to ask. My back and kidneys are in great shape. That's just how confident I am."

Yao Yao took a deep breath: "Then... I want two Rockets!"

The next second, two chubby, tech-savvy Rocket icons prominently appeared in the center of the live stream, accompanied by a liftoff sound effect, soaring into the sky!

"Brother Ye gifted Yao Yao 丶Brother Ye's Exclusive Favorite douyin number one * 2"

Her score changed from 114,057 to 134,059!

Seeing that three of the four high-priced gifts in the top layer of the Exhibition Hall were already lit up, with only the last one, "TikTok Airship," remaining, Yao Yao gritted her teeth and decided to finish perfectly:

"Ge! One last one! I also want an airship!"

On the screen, a sci-fi-styled airship slowly sailed past an Earth background, heading toward the vast cosmic starry sky, creating a highly visually impactful scene.

"Brother Ye gifted Yao Yao 丶Brother Ye's Exclusive Favorite TikTok Airship * 1"

Her score finally settled at 154,059!

Over 15,000 yuan in gifts, 150,000 sound waves!
