15: The first 10 million PK
Teacher Wang, an anchor under Tong Jincheng 798, known as “Jiangnan’s Most Affectionate,” was once 798’s dance lead.
She rose to fame by creating a popular CP with fitness expert Hua Xiaolong, and her fan base grew rapidly.
Now, she has successfully joined the ranks of top-tier Douyin anchors.
“Hello, Teacher Wang, I didn’t expect to connect with you,” Xiao Yaojing said, her face full of pleasant surprise.
This was a major anchor with over 100,000 viewers in her livestream, and even if she lost the PK, she could still gain some traffic.
For small anchors, livestreaming gifts are their main source of income, but for major anchors, popularity is the true source of income.
Internet celebrities are another type of star; as long as they have popularity, there will be commercial advertisements, and the higher the popularity, the more they earn for appearances.
Moreover, with high popularity, they can livestream and sell goods.
It is said that the end of the universe is a stable job, and the end of an internet celebrity is selling goods.
The famous “Gazi Sells Wine” and “You Can’t Handle It, Let Uncle Do It” are typical examples.
Even stars with tens of millions in film fees are eager to livestream and sell goods, let alone these internet celebrities?
“Hello, Xiao Yaojing, I’ve heard of you, you dance very well,” Teacher Wang responded with a smile.
The internet celebrities of 798 generally have good tempers, which they inherit from their boss, Xiao Tong.
“Of course, Teacher Wang, but my big brother is playing a True Face Game today, can you accept that?”
When big anchors do PKs, the punishments are usually set in advance.
If they can accept it, they play; if not, they don’t, unless there’s a grudge.
“True Face Game? What is that?” Teacher Wang asked curiously.
She had been on Douyin for so long, and this was the first time she had heard of such a thing.
“It means the losing side turns off their beauty filter, and then my big brother sends medical expenses.”
Turn off the beauty filter? What a harsh punishment.
For many female anchors, this punishment is even harsher than those that cause social death.
“Okay, I’m quite confident in my looks.”
“Besides, I might not necessarily lose~” Teacher Wang readily agreed.
For people like them, who are naturally beautiful, this punishment is the lightest.
It might even help them gain some fans.
“Then shall we start a 15-minute unlimited PK?”
(Normal Douyin PKs can only accumulate up to 1 million points, which is 100,000 yuan.
If you want to play for more, you can only open an unlimited PK.)
“15 minutes unlimited? It seems you’re very confident, little sister, then let’s do it.”
Even for anchors of Teacher Wang’s caliber, an unlimited PK is a rare occurrence, happening only once every few days.
As the countdown ended, the 15-minute unlimited PK instantly began.
“This round is up to you, President Qian, there are 100,000 people in the opposing livestream~”
It feels great to show off in front of 100,000 people.

[Congratulations to user I’m Really Rich for leveling up to 53!]
One hundred carnivals, 300,000 RMB spent, Li Youqian’s damned experience bar was finally full.
[Congratulations, President Qian, on leveling up!]
[Congratulations, President Qian, on overcoming the first major hurdle!]
[President Qian 666, President Qian is mighty!]
With Li Youqian’s initial barrage, Xiao Yaojing’s fans also started to move.

....
Overwhelming gifts instantly pushed Teacher Wang’s health bar to a sliver, but Teacher Wang was a major anchor after all, and many of her supporters were well-off, so she quickly launched a counterattack.

[(62) Dragon King CP Forever gifted Anchor - Teacher Wang a carnival *1 *2 *3 ... *10 (300,000 Douyin coins)]
Although Teacher Wang’s family didn’t have a love-related big brother, there were many supporters of the Dragon King CP, and the score quickly caught up.
Current score: Xiao Yaojing 3.786 million : Teacher Wang 4.25 million.
[Good heavens, it’s only been a few minutes, and both sides have already accumulated around four million points.]
[Could it be that acentury PK is coming again?]
[Upstairs, acentury PK is not that easy to encounter, but a ten-million point PK is probably happening.]
To be called acentury PK, the score must exceed 100 million, which is a true clash between top-tier super-tycoons.
Given Li Youqian’s current system level, it would take at least five days for him to initiate acentury PK.
[The other side is pressing, President Qian, go!]
[President Qian, if you defeat Teacher Wang, you can become famous in one battle!]
[Then who in the Douyin livestreaming section won’t know you?]
Xiao Yaojing’s public screen was all egging him on.
If Li Youqian hadn’t been bound to the Network Tycoon System, he wouldn’t have paid attention to them, no matter how rich he was.
They were clearly treating him like a cash cow.
But!
Mr. Li happened to be bound to the Network Tycoon System; he needed these people to provide him with emotional value.
So Li Youqian went all out, his fingers moving so fast they were almost a blur.
[(53) I’m Really Rich gifted Anchor - Xiao Yaojing a carnival 12345 .... 100 .. 199200! (6,000,000 Douyin coins)]
“Thank you, President Qian, for the 200 carnivals!”
“President Qian, from now on, you are my Xiao Yaojing’s god!”
[66666]
[President Qian is really powerful.]
[President Qian is awesome!]
[(62) Fenglin Ye Wan: “President Qian is too fierce, thank you, President Qian, for saving me money.”]
Although Fenglin Ye Wan was Xiao Yaojing’s love-related big brother, he was very open-minded.
A person like Li Youqian was definitely a philanderer who left his affections everywhere; Xiao Yaojing simply couldn’t hold his attention.
Besides, even if Li Youqian really wanted to do something, he couldn’t stop him; a big shot of that caliber was not someone he could offend.
With Li Youqian dropping 200 carnivals, Xiao Yaojing’s score had already reached 10.02 million!
[Awesome! Ten million points! This must be Xiao Yaojing’s first ten-million PK, right?]
[Even if she loses this round, Xiao Yaojing will have lost with honor.]
[One PK is worth a month’s earnings; Xiao Yaojing is truly full today.]
“Yes, thanks to President Qian, I’m really full today.”
Xiao Yaojing couldn’t suppress the smile on her lips; it was clear she was truly satisfied.
Compared to the joyful atmosphere in her livestream, Teacher Wang’s livestream was a bit subdued.
[Holy cow, where did such a rich tycoon come from on the other side? So fierce?]
[brothers, we’ve found out, the tycoon on the other side is an anchor who just started livestreaming recently, he’s inhumanly rich! And he often takes his livestream viewers out for fun!]
[If you put it that way, I’m excited! I must follow him!]
[Followed, followed, where can you find such a good big brother these days?]
Teacher Wang’s side also lost the desire to continue scoring, with only scattered small tickets floating across the screen.
“Xiao Yaojing, you are too fierce, especially your big brother, he’s truly fierce!”
The PK hadn’t even ended, and Teacher Wang directly conceded.
If she really wanted to catch up to ten million points, she could, but who could guarantee that the other side wouldn’t keep going?
It was just a mere turning off of the beauty filter; she could accept this punishment, and besides, there were medical expenses to be gained, so this round wasn’t a loss.
