47: Chapter 47 A resounding victory!

Ultimately, this battle ended after three minutes.

During this time, Shen Zhou had engaged in two more rounds of fierce competition with that rich lady.

Fortunately, Shen Zhou came out on top. At the end of the battle, he frenziedly gifted another twenty King Dragons, ending the fight.

He defeated the rich lady who hadn't had time to continue competing.

Of course, this didn't mean Sunglasses Man and the rich lady behind him had conceded.

The main reason was that the Douyin Platform's live stream PKs have time limits.

Usually, they last about three to five minutes, though some can be longer, perhaps ten or fifteen minutes.

But ultimately, there is a time limit.

In this competition, Sunglasses Man ultimately lost because of the PK duration he had set himself.

Who told him to only set a fifteen-minute PK duration?

When the rich lady couldn't keep up with Shen Zhou's speed at the end, she naturally suffered defeat.

Meanwhile, the PK between the two sides seemed to have triggered some restrictive mechanisms on the Douyin Platform.

When that soft-rice-eating Sunglasses Man, unwilling to accept defeat, wanted to incite the rich lady to continue PK-ing with Shen Zhou, the platform gave Sunglasses Man's live stream a PK restriction warning, banning any further PK behavior.

Before nine o'clock, Mu Shanshan's live stream ended.

This seemed to be a live streaming rule set by Longfa Bank itself; Shen Zhou wasn't too sure.

After the PK ended, he just took a quick look at the fan count of Longfa Bank's live stream and went offline.

Longfa Bank definitely made a fortune from this PK.

Not to mention the millions in gifts, the fan count alone experienced an explosive surge.

Before the stream ended, Shen Zhou saw that Longfa Bank's fan count had soared to 2.18 million.

A massive increase of over two million fans—without a doubt, this could be recorded in the history of fan growth on the Douyin Platform.

Even if other big streamers had records of explosive fan growth in a short time, it would be hard to reach today's speed again.

In less than an hour, a surge of over two million fans; while unprecedented, it could almost be considered unrepeatable.

"Alright, Shanshan, I've helped you as much as I can this time."

"I reckon that director of yours won't dare to give you a hard time about your performance anymore."

It must be said, with today's PK, Shen Zhou instantly understood what the true thrill of being a rich person was.

Previously, although he had experienced the benefits of being rich while competing with Young Master Lin, Wan Yiquan, and Zhang Shuai, the stimulation those encounters brought to Shen Zhou was clearly not as intense as today's PK.

Like a martial arts world filled with flashing blades and shadows, gifts flying through the air like a torrential rain, plus hundreds of thousands to millions of fan comments—it made Shen Zhou, who rarely participated in live PKs, break into a cold sweat on his back after it ended.

At this moment, he even began to understand why the founder of the Douyin Platform, Zhang Yiming, was so successful.

Yes, this kind of unimaginable competitive experience is undoubtedly an ultimate excavation of human desire for victory and defeat.

If such a platform wasn't successful, then what kind of platform would be?

It's no wonder Zhang Yiming now has a net worth of over one hundred billion.

He has simply brought the combative side of human nature to the extreme.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for spending another 3.9 million Long coins on a beauty. Routine cashback of two times multiplied by the number of simps, totaling 39 million has been credited!]

[Ding, this consumption by the host has triggered a critical hit reward: one luxury mansion in Ziyu Mansion in the Magic City! Please sign for it!]

"Ziyu Mansion? Isn't that one of the top five high-end residential areas in the Magic City?"

"Haha, my system actually has critical hit rewards too!"

Something Shen Zhou didn't expect happened.

Just as Shen Zhou was still marveling at the powerful magic behind the Douyin Platform's PK mechanism, his own system had already given him another surprise.

Shen Zhou knew about Ziyu Mansion.

It was a high-end residential area that counted for something in the Magic City; once upon a time, it had even been the benchmark for luxury home prices among all residential areas in the entire Magic City.

I'm sure friends are aware that housing prices in the Magic City have always been at the top of the country.

As a world-class metropolis with a population of over twenty million, housing prices here once soared to over 100,000 per square meter.

And even in 2025, when the real estate industry has gradually fallen into a downturn, the average housing price in the Magic City is still considered to be unrivaled.

The average price per square meter still hovers around 80,000.

Of course, this is all because those remote plots have dragged down the overall housing prices in the Magic City.

According to the real market situation, in the core areas of the Magic City, housing prices usually don't fall below 100,000.

In better locations, prices are even closer to the sky-high price of 120,000 to 150,000.

And when it comes to true high-end commercial residential areas in the Magic City, this price goes up another notch.

Ziyu Mansion is a model among these high-end commercial residential areas.

Currently, the average price is 180,000 per square meter; at its peak, the average price once reached 200,000 or even higher.

Of course, the reason Ziyu Mansion's prices are terrifyingly high has a lot to do with the location and supporting facilities of the community itself.

Not to mention that there are two key middle schools of the Magic City within 500 meters of the community, just the fact that residents living upstairs can see the Huangpu River as soon as they walk to the balcony is already worth one-third of the price.

Golden location, top-tier view, plus an exceptional commercial atmosphere—wanting it to be cheap, how could it be that easy!

Anyone with a little thought knows that the land next to the world financial center isn't prepared for ordinary people.

"System, you haven't told me the specific house number of my luxury mansion yet!"

"How am I supposed to receive it?"

"Hey, my good system, have you become lazy now? How did you learn to only say half of what you mean?"

Beside the surprise, Shen Zhou realized that the reward the system transmitted this time seemed a bit sloppy.

It actually didn't tell him which building, which floor, or which room the critical hit reward mansion was in.

This left Shen Zhou a bit confused.

"Host, please rest assured, this system has always been very reliable."

"As for your reward, someone will naturally notify you when the time comes."

"It's getting late, this system still needs to carry out a new version update. If there is nothing else, then see you tomorrow, host!"

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of broken system are you? How are you slacking off in front of your master?"

"Little mouse, little mouse, wearing a floral coat, squeak squeak squeak! Squeak squeak squeak..."

"Damn, why is there a phone call at this time!"
