165: Daily Life 2, Entertainment

The Host's Shout also startled everyone in the stream. Several Streamers resting nearby immediately ran into the frame with confetti cannons and set them off one after another.

Ten sets of 1314 'Small Douyinss' cost over a thousand yuan. To Qin Yang, it was nothing, but for an ordinary person, it could be a third of their monthly salary—certainly not a small amount.

However, time wasn't up yet. After the Streamers finished setting off the confetti cannons, they stepped back off the stage.

The dancing Streamer, Xiao Xiao, saw she was being 'knifed'. While dancing, she pointed at the 'Small Hearts' icon above her head, hoping the Big Brothers would save her.

Her Big Brother didn't disappoint, quickly throwing out eleven sets of 1314 Small Heartss, overtaking the health bar.

Qin Yang smiled faintly and tapped his finger, sending out another twenty sets of Small Douyinss. By then, the timer reached its end. The opponent probably didn't expect Qin Yang to raise the stakes, and Qin Yang won the round.

"Hahaha! Thanks to Boss Lang for another twenty sets of Small Douyinss, and thanks to President Scorpio for the ten sets of Small Heartss to Guard the tower. The round is over, and Boss Lang is the winner! Fam, is anyone going to save her? Though this round is a bit big—it'll take 80,000 points for a self-save! Any brothers want to start us off?" After it ended, the Host laughed loudly with a wide grin.

It was no wonder the Host was laughing; they were just a small streaming room, and a 5,000-yuan round was truly rare. He got a commission from the Big Brothers' gifts—the more they spent, the more he earned.

However, despite the Host's constant attempts to stir up the crowd, it would take 8,000 yuan to save the Streamer named Xiao Xiao. Her Big Brother felt it wasn't worth it, and in the end, Xiao Xiao left the stage with regret.

Over here, it happened to be another rotation, and the next one up was Lin Wan.

After Lin Wan took the stage, the PK continued.

Without a second thought, Qin Yang sent ten sets of 1314 Small Heartss. To get what you want, you have to pay, and fortunately, the one thing Qin Yang didn't lack was money.

"Oh ho! Thanks for the ten sets of Small Heartss, Boss Lang! Boss Lang is mighty! Hahaha, Boss Lang has taken a liking to our Wanwan. Boss Lang has great taste! Wanwan can be sweet or sassy, and she's gorgeous—she's definitely your best choice!

By the way, we're a new group, and our Wanwan doesn't have a Big Brother yet. Boss Lang, you should consider it! Yo!" The Host continued to hype up Qin Yang.

On the other side, Xiao Xiao's Big Brothers thought Qin Yang was just a passing whale playing a single round to knock her out. They didn't expect him to give Small Heartss to Wanwan. So, they sent a message in their small group and started gifting Small Douyinss.

Xiao Xiao had three Big Brothers in total. In the last five seconds, they chose to Snipe the tower, each sending fifteen sets of Small Douyinss. Qin Yang tried to defend with ten sets but couldn't hold them off.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! It's heating up! Thanks to Boss Lang for the defense, and thanks to Brother Scorpio, Brother User, and Brother Nuan for the 'Big Knife'! Long live the Blade Sect!!!" The Host roared at the sight.

Qin Yang didn't care at all about Wanwan being knifed. With his wealth, how much could playing around on a stream possibly cost? He was just starting out and still getting the hang of it.

Fifteen sets of Small Douyinss from each of the three Big Brothers totaled 60,000 points, which converted to 6,000 yuan. But to save her required double that—12,000 yuan.

With that much money, everyone thought Wanwan would be a one-round wonder and get eliminated immediately. But the Host still followed the procedure and let Wanwan take the mic to appeal for votes.

After getting the mic, Wanwan said, "Thanks to the brothers of the Blade Sect for your 'negative love'—knife votes also count toward the dancing Streamer's earnings—but I'm most grateful to Brother Lang. Thank you, Brother Lang, for supporting me as soon as you joined!

Right now, Wanwan is short by 120,000 points. Is there any brother who can start us off? Wanwan knows this gap is a bit large, so don't feel pressured, brothers. We'll pool together whatever we have. Even just 'shouting' is fine!"

'Shouting' meant typing out a gift in the public chat without actually sending it—basically bragging. Of course, if the total goal was met, the 'shouters' were considered 'caught,' and they'd have to gift whatever they had bragged about.

120,000 points was an astronomical figure in this small streaming room. Even in a guild competition, this score could get a small guild into the top ten. Thus, no one thought Wanwan could pull it off, and the chat became lively.

Flying Fly: I'll Shout a Sports Car (1,200 points).

"Wow! Thanks to Boss Fly for shouting a Sports Car!"

Big Bear: I'll Shout a Radish (TikTok One, 10,001 points). I don't believe anyone will catch such a high score! [Doghead emoji].

"Haha, thanks to Boss Bear for shouting a Radish! Are there any other brothers shouting?" the Host laughed.

'Catching' meant that if someone shouted a gift and then another person filled the remaining points to meet the goal, the braggarts were 'caught.'

As time passed, since there weren't many people and not many tourists were shouting, the Host began the countdown, seeing that the goal really wouldn't be met.

Seeing that the time was about right, Qin Yang typed 'Pass' directly in the chat. He waited until the last moment to Shout it as a little tactic to stir Wanwan's emotions and boost her favorability. Sometimes, things obtained too easily aren't cherished!

"Holy crap, holy crap! Holy crap! Boss Lang is awesome! Boss Lang called 'Pass'! Hahahaha!" Seeing the word 'Pass,' the Host shouted 'holy crap' three times in a row to express his inner ecstasy.

Wanwan also saw what Qin Yang typed and covered her mouth in shock and joy.

Then, without any nonsense, Qin Yang opened the gift menu and threw out four 'Dragon Rider Paladins' (30,000 points each).

Gifts like the Dragon Rider Paladin needed to be unlocked through top-ups, but since Qin Yang had topped up 500 million TikTok Coins, unlocking such a small gift was child's play.

"Aaaaaah! Thanks to Boss Lang for the four Dragon Rider Paladins! Hahahaha!" Seeing Qin Yang throw the gifts, the Host jumped up in excitement and shouted.

Wanwan was stunned for a few seconds before picking up the mic to bow and express her gratitude.

Of course, some were frustrated—namely, the tourists who had been shouting. They typed in the chat: "No way, catching even such a big one?!"

But these tourists were good sports and sent the gifts they had shouted.

After the excitement died down a bit, the Host said, "Boss Lang saved Wanwan! Now, is there any brother who wants to 'kick' her? To kick, you'll need 240,000 points!!"

'Kicking' was similar to 'saving'—both required double the points. Kicking was meant to force a Streamer off the stage.

On the other side, Scorpio and the others looked a bit disgruntled seeing that Qin Yang actually saved her. Qin Yang's move made them look petty, since they hadn't saved Xiao Xiao earlier. Everyone was there to have fun, and no one wanted to be outdone, especially since they were all Big Brothers.

"How about it? Give her a kick? Saving her again would require 480,000 points. I don't believe this new kid can keep it up! He's coming here to show off; let's teach him a lesson and show him he needs to stay low-key!" Scorpio said in their small group.

"I'll put up two 'Huazis' (Carnivals, 30,000 points)."

"I'll put up two as well!"

"Alright, leave the rest to me!" Scorpio replied.
