37: An irresistible reward
Li Youqian, who learned the truth, looked utterly dejected; this was a classic case of losing both the wife and the army.
Moreover, ever since the viewers in the live stream found out that the person opposite was a 'maleyounger sister,' Li Youqian didn't even have the most basic respect points left.
Thinking about having to help a 'maleyounger sister' climb the ranks in a moment, a hint of bitterness couldn't help but well up in his heart.
He respected everyone's various little quirks, but he truly couldn't empathize with a 'maleyounger sister.'
No understanding, no support, no opposition, no empathy.
Just when Li Youqian thought he was bound to lose this round, his light appeared!
[(75) Mei Niang entered the live stream.]
[(75) Laoye entered the live stream.]
[(75) Qing Jie entered the live stream.]
[(75) Mu Zhi entered the live stream.]
With the arrival of four top-tier god-tier users, Li Youqian's live stream instantly erupted.
[Holy sh*t! Four level 75s? The streamer is too awesome!]
[Upstairs, these four are not ordinary level 75s; each of them has spent at least a small fortune!]
[Oh my goodness, a small fortune? Sure enough, I'm just an NPC in this world.]
[Damn it! The streamer almost lost!]
Li Youqian's eyes lit up when he saw the four group members; this round was definitely in the bag!
"Welcome, Mei Niang, welcome, Laoye, welcome, Qing Jie, welcome, Mu Zhi!"
"Why are you all free to come to my live stream today?"
[(75) Mei Niang: "Little brother started streaming without telling your sister; if it weren't for people in the group discovering you were streaming, I wouldn't have known."]
[(75) Qing Jie: "Saw you hadn't popped up in the group for a while, came over to see if you were still alive."]
[(75) Laoye: "Stop chatting, the PK is about to be lost, hurry up and get points."]
[(75) Mu Zhi: "1."]
Clearly, the god-tier users hadn't figured out the current situation; they simply thought Li Youqian was just doing a PK.
[(75) Mei Niang gifted the streamer - Im Really Rich carnival *1*2*3...*100! (3,000,000 Douyin coins)]
[(75) Laoye gifted the streamer - Im Really Rich carnival *1*2*3...*100! (3,000,000 Douyin coins)]
[(75) Mu Zhi gifted the streamer - Im Really Rich carnival *1*2*3...*100! (3,000,000 Douyin coins)]
[(75) Qing Jie gifted the streamer - Im Really Rich carnival *1*2*3...*100! (3,000,000 Douyin coins)]
Another familiar hundred carnivals as gifts; Li Youqian expressed that he could still handle more of such good things!
[(45) Wind Forest Grass Wood: "President Qian is doing well; he can even get top-tier god-tier users to come and give gifts."]
[(42) I Love Free Stuff: "Ahem, Feng Lin, what you said, shouldn't it be that the god-tier users are doing well? They can now give gifts to President Qian."]
[(42) I Love Free Stuff: "(Dog head for protection jpg.)"]
"Free Stuff, you can't just say whatever you want; it's my honor that these brothers and sisters can come."
Although Free Stuff was joking, Li Youqian wouldn't joke with anyone before understanding the temperaments of these god-tier users.
These were all his gods of wealth!
[(75) Qing Jie: "No, no, no, it's my honor, Little Qing's honor, to be able to give gifts to President Qian (dog head)."]
[(75) Laoye: "President Qian is joking; it's my honor, Laoye's honor, to be able to give gifts to President Qian (dog head)."]
[(75) Mu Zhi: "President Qian is too humble; it's my honor, Little Mu's honor, to be able to give gifts to President Qian (dog head)."]
[(75) Mei Niang: "Exactly, exactly; it's my honor, this concubine's honor, to be able to give gifts to President Qian (dog head)."]
"No, no, no, you all are praising me too much; I'm just a little brother."
"My live stream still needs your support."
Li Youqian and the god-tier users didn't take these words to heart.
These were just jokes; if they took them seriously, they wouldn't have achieved their current success.
Not showing joy or anger on one's face, not expressing likes or dislikes, not letting sorrow or happiness show on one's countenance—these are essential skills for every successful person.
[(75) Qing Jie: "Little Qian, why did you think of doing a PK?"]
[(75) Qing Jie: "Don't you like to bring fun to people in the live stream the most?"]
[(75) Laoye: "Why aren't you hurrying to level up to 75, playing PK here? Do you still care about these small gains?"]
[(75) Mei Niang: "Please, you're level 70 and in the same group as us; it makes us look bad, ε=(´ο`*)))."]
"Ahem, aren't I waiting for the annual carnival?"
Li Youqian's account was already level 70, having spent around 10 million, and he still had 180 million Douyin coins in his backpack, which was completely enough to reach level 75.
It was just that there were no events currently, and he wasn't a death guardian for a certain streamer, which resulted in him not having a strong desire to spend.
[Ding, system mission released.]
[Help a streamer win first place in the annual carnival regional competition and achieve first place in the annual carnival - God-tier User Spending Ranking.]
[Reward: 500 million RMB, one Lykan Hypersport (Wolf Cub), one Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime.]
Holy cow, such generous rewards?
Although Li Youqian couldn't read English, he recognized 500 million RMB!
Any reward placed alongside 500 million RMB must be expensive, even if you just thought about it.
No more talking, freeze the votes! Start freezing votes from now on!
If it really doesn't work, he'll just throw in the 100 million he has; he doesn't believe that over 2 billion Douyin coins won't secure first place on the God-tier User Spending Ranking!
During this time, Li Youqian checked the past records of the Douyin Annual carnival; generally, 100 to 200 million Douyin coins would be enough to win the regional championship.
Although this God-tier User Ranking had never been released, Li Youqian already had a rough idea in his mind.
This ranking was, in essence, designed to stimulate spending by god-tier users.
In previous annual carnivals, god-tier users would usually stop spending much after helping their favorite streamer win first place, but the situation was different now.
They were all god-tier users, so they certainly wouldn't want to be ranked below others; therefore, this year's carnival would definitely be fiercely competitive.
As soon as this list is launched, streamers without god-tier user guardians are destined to say goodbye to the carnival championship this year.
[(75) Qing Jie: "Little Qian, why aren't you talking?"]
[(75) Mei Niang: "I was just joking; it's not too late to upgrade to level 75 during the annual carnival."]
[(75) Mei Niang: "And I'm the one who hopes you upgrade later; as long as you spend a lot, then I can spend a little less."]
Mei Niang also didn't have a favorite streamer to guard, and since Xiao Xin was quite pleasing to the eye, she decided to help Xiao Xin with the annual carnival alongside Li Youqian.
Moreover, this was her first time helping someone with the annual carnival, so she naturally wanted to achieve an overwhelming score.
As for losing? What a joke!
If two god-tier users teamed up for the annual carnival and still lost, they might as well just retire from the internet; she couldn't afford to lose face!
"It's fine; I lack everything except Douyin coins."
"Level 75, that's just a drop in the bucket~"
