124: Small days make a move
“Damn, fifty carnivals right off the bat? Are they even letting anyone else play?”
“Exactly, this is too ruthless. The world of Super Rich Players truly isn’t something ordinary people like us can comprehend. Money really isn’t money to them.”
“Starting bid of fifty carnivals? Sorry, I’ll add another twenty! Seventy carnivals!”
“??? They’re crazy, absolutely crazy! Rich people are truly rich! It looks like us common folk are destined to miss out on the final set of paper currency.”
“Bro, you think fifty carnivals is a lot? There are only six sets of these in the entire world, and you still think that’s expensive?”
In the live stream, the gap between true Super Rich Players and ordinary viewers instantly widened at this moment.
Previously, Su Yu’s streams had always focused on being approachable and down-to-earth.
This was also his first time openly giving away gifts through an auction in his live stream.
Sure enough, those big shots who usually kept a low profile were now making moves, and their bid of seventy carnivals left Su Yu stunned.
You have to understand, one carnival is three thousand national currency in cash, ten is thirty thousand, and seventy is two hundred and ten thousand!
And this was only the second person to bid.
Less than ten seconds had passed since he announced the start of the auction.
From this, one could see how bloody the battlefield would be in a few minutes.
“You think seventy carnivals is enough to buy the Streamer’s original paper currency? Is this looking down on us, or looking down on the Streamer?”
“Exactly, let me top up some money. Streamer, I’ll send it to you right now!”
Carnival + 100!
Dragon Rider Ranger + 150!
Diamond Carnival + 500!
...In just three minutes, countless Super Rich Player big brothers were already fighting tooth and nail!
Even Diamond Carnivals had become the basic gift for measuring value.
It means there were no bigger gifts than this. Otherwise, this group of Pay-to-win players would have directly gone for something bigger.
And as the beneficiary, the backend staff of Kuaishou were already dumbfounded.
Although Zhao Ming was currently the head of the backend technical department.
Although Zhao Ming had also seen live streams with tens of millions of concurrent viewers.
Although Zhao Ming’s net worth had long surpassed a hundred million.
But seeing the scene before him, he couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
According to the platform’s rules, the platform takes a 50% cut of all gift revenue from live streams.
Su Yu’s action, while perhaps not intended for his own profit, would indirectly bring in a considerable income for the platform.
Zhao Ming had once been in a top Streamer’s sales stream, and in one session, the other party’s turnover exceeded ten billion!
But so what?
With a ten billion turnover, the platform’s commission ratio was actually very small, far less impactful than direct gift donations!
In just three minutes, Su Yu’s live stream had already raked in over ten million in gifts!
Countless Super Rich Players scrambled to increase their bids, afraid that if they weren't careful, they would be surpassed by those behind them.
And the top spot on the leaderboard kept changing, with no one able to hold it steadily.
At this moment, the three currency research experts on the commentary panel had completely given up.
Initially, when they heard that Su Yu had decided to auction off the last set of paper currency, they thought their chance had finally come.
They were determined to get their hands on this set of paper currency!
But who would have thought that the opportunity would end before it even began.
When National Landscape Painter and Design Specialist saw that the bidding had already reached 1000 Diamond Carnivals, the hope that had just ignited in his heart instantly shattered again.
This had already exceeded the maximum amount their research center could afford.
To continue bidding higher, they would need to wait for approval from their superiors.
The problem was, it had been seven or eight minutes since Mr. Liao called his leader, but there was no response from above.
This meant that the leader was either indifferent to the paper currency designed by Su Yu, or was still waiting and observing.
It was impossible for them to be uninterested!
National Landscape Painter and Design Specialist firmly believed his judgment was not wrong.
The country was in need of issuing the sixth generation of new national currency. This was a godsend, something that couldn't be found even with a lantern, so it was naturally impossible to ignore.
Therefore, the country must simply be waiting for the right moment.
Thinking of this, National Landscape Painter and Design Specialist suddenly relaxed.
Forget it, he didn't need to overthink things.
At the critical moment, others would naturally step in; it wasn't his place to make decisions. He might as well just quietly watch the show.
The three judges were no longer anxious, but some people in the live stream were extremely anxious.
Watching the fierce competition for the top spot, the currency research experts from Sakura Country were burning with impatience.
They were equally determined to acquire Su Yu’s set of paper currency!
However, being overseas, the process for Pay-to-win donations was much more cumbersome.
Finally, after another two minutes, the technical team finally enabled direct overseas donations.
At this point, the top spot on the live stream leaderboard had reached a terrifying one hundred million gift value!
One hundred million gift value meant a ten million cash donation.
This was the move of a top domestic tycoon who loved collecting.
Buying a limited edition set of paper currency, one of only six in the world, for ten million was an outlandish idea for others.
But for him, it was absolutely worth it.
Money can’t buy happiness.
He had money now, so he naturally wouldn't watch something he liked be given away to others.
And with the Super Rich Player’s move, the previously fierce battlefield in the live stream fell into a brief silence.
Ten million, he threw it in without even batting an eye.
You have to understand, this was a genuine donation!
This action directly deterred over ninety-nine percent of collectors who were also very interested in the paper currency.
They indeed desperately wanted the last set of paper currency.
But after all, everyone's financial strength was limited.
Being able to throw ten million on a limited edition set of paper currency was no longer the act of an ordinary Super Rich Player.
Even if they continued to donate, they simply wouldn't have a chance of winning.
Instead of constantly throwing gifts in, it was better to cut losses in time.
After all, there was only one set of paper currency.
If there wasn't absolute certainty of winning, throwing money in would just be a waste.
Everyone wasn't foolish; they could naturally judge this situation at a glance.
Thus, in the next minute, the donation frenzy fell into a brief silence.
However, this scene did not last until the countdown ended.
At the four-minute mark, the Little Sun, who had been eyeing it covetously for a long time, finally couldn’t resist making a move.
And with this move, he directly added another five million on top of the current top spot!
In the blink of an eye, the top spot on the leaderboard changed hands, becoming a string of Japanese characters.
The Little Sun directly donated fifteen million national currency! He was determined to secure this last set of paper currency today!
And the sudden reversal of the situation also caused the domestic Super Rich Player, who had originally felt confident of victory, to frown slightly.
