200: Chapter 200 We'll talk about catching up later.

15 minutes, over 70 billion votes in gifts.

To be precise, 71.28 billion votes.

7.2 billion just like that?

[Oh my god, I'm so weak in the knees right now. This is the first time I've ever seen a PK this huge.]

[I'm different from you. I'm so excited right now I want to give my dad a couple of thumps and ask him why I'm not a second-generation rich kid.]

[You really are your father's 'good son.' I've followed you; waiting to hear about your hospital admission.]

[Oh my god, is this real?]

[God bless, I must be hallucinating.]

[This is just too absurd. I can't believe my eyes.]

[Ura, awesome, absolutely awesome.]

[Damn it, he should go to hell. Wasting money like this is shameful.]

Seeing Zhang Shan send so many gifts in a single PK, everyone was stunned.

Especially the overseas viewers. We've only been here for two days, and this is what you show us?

It's one thing to have good food and drink, but just watching a livestream? And the PK is this huge?

Look at how jealous some people are—they're about to undergo cell lysis.

With Zhang Shan slamming 10 billion votes into each Livestream Room, Starlight X remained firmly in first place, while Star Shine 001 through 005 surpassed the Japanese JK Girls Group and the Korean Era Girls Group, ranking second through sixth.

The news reached Japan, and the ball-loving Mitsui Shou was so angry he smashed his phone.

"Baka, what a shameless scoundrel! The final showdown hasn't even started, yet that Qingshan dared to launch a sneak attack first! Go, call everyone over. I want to let him know what the foundation of a conglomerate really is."

"Hai..."

While Mitsui Shou was gathering people to prepare for the showdown with Zhang Shan, Park Buwan of the Samsung conglomerate in Korea was also calling for backup.

They had both received news that the guy called Qingshan had opened five alt accounts to spam gifts, and he was actually delusional enough to try and carry six at once, pulling the other Livestream Rooms up.

This was practically an insult to the glory of their conglomerates.

"I must let you know what the foundation of a conglomerate family is..."

"How can a guy like you, without even a single helper, fight against me?"

"Just wait to be humiliated."

Meanwhile, Zhang Shan had Xiang Zai link up with five more Livestream Rooms, Star-Shine 006 through 010.

Once again, five Qingshan alt accounts, 6-10, started the dragon-riding ranger 99-combo spam.

Host Xiangzai: "Oh my god, oh my god! Thank you, Emperor Shan, for sending another four thousand sets of dragon-riding ranger 99-combos! Oh my god, oh my god, Emperor Shan is going crazy with the kills today..."

[Oh my god, 140 billion votes already. This is f***ing insane.]

[Too crazy. These streamers are making a fortune.]

[Brother, don't be too naive. Do you think that money will actually reach their hands?]

[This is obviously a guild hype stunt. You actually believe this?]

[No way, Emperor Shan is gifting across the entire network, are you blind? "Guild hype stunt"? You try bringing 10 billion to hype something up then. Seriously.]

[Everyone, pay attention. There are enemy agents online stirring up trouble and trying to manipulate the narrative. Don't get misled; we must trust Emperor Shan.]

[Japan and Korea start smearing us when they can't win; it's an old trick. Everyone, don't believe it...]

[Emperor Shan is awesome.]

[Emperor Shan is awesome × 999999]

Just as the audience in the Livestream Room spontaneously started flooding the screen with "Emperor Shan is awesome," a scrolling bullet comment swept across the screen.

[Lv75 Mitsui Shou: Qingshan-kun's flair is truly extraordinary. Would Qingshan-kun be willing to have a PK against our JK Girls Group?] (Scrolling Comment)

Before anyone could react, another scrolling comment swept across the screen.

[Lv75 Park Buwan: Emperor Shan? Heh, dare you have a PK against our world's number one Era Girls Group?] (Scrolling Comment)

F***.

Seeing these two scrolling comments, before Zhang Shan could even respond, the audience in the Livestream Room exploded.

[WTF, where does that confidence come from? F***ing calling themselves the world's number one? WTF.]

[Hahaha, this is hilarious. A contestant that didn't even make the top ten is actually trying to start beef with the number one.]

[Seriously, how shameless.]

[Well, they are the number one country in the universe. I get it, I get it, hahaha...]

[Admirable courage, but their skin is as thick as a city wall.]

Zhang Shan was amused by these two scrolling comments. It wasn't that he didn't want to PK them; it's just that if he agreed the moment they asked, he'd lose face.

He had to keep them waiting for a while so they would fight even harder.

Anyway, no matter how much they spent, he wouldn't suffer any losses.

Not only would he not lose, but he would actually earn even more.

They were different; the more they spent, the happier Zhang Shan would be.

If he could get all their money spent here, that would be even better, hehe...

[Lv75 Qingshan: You say fight, so we fight? Catch up to me first. Right now, you don't have the qualifications!] (Scrolling Comment)

As soon as Zhang Shan's scrolling comment appeared, it was immediately met with a chorus of agreement.

[Right, you don't have the qualifications now. Catch up first, then talk.]

[Emperor Shan's "you don't have the qualifications" line is epic.]

[Catch up first, "world's number one."]

[Emperor Shan is awesome.]

[I think they probably can't even catch up. They just want to link up to leech off the popularity.]

[12 million troops in the Livestream Room, who wouldn't be envious of that?]

[Lv75 Mitsui Shou: Yoshi, Qingshan-kun is right. We indeed don't have the qualifications right now, but we will catch up soon. We will ask for your guidance then.] (Scrolling Comment)

Mitsui Shou was polite on the surface, but he was actually furious.

What an arrogant guy. When the time comes, I'll definitely make him kneel and beg for mercy.

After Mitsui Shou left the Livestream Room, he immediately gave orders for everyone to start dumping votes for the JK Girls Group. They had to catch up to the Starlight X supported by Qingshan.

"Everyone, we must win this match. Win cleanly and beautifully. The barrier of the Eastern Great has been broken; now is the time for our major cultural offensive. Our culture has deep roots there. As long as we can achieve an overwhelming victory and smoothly implement our plan, countless people will cheer and praise us. When that happens, our investment will be rewarded a hundred or thousand-fold. So, please give it your all. We must win this; failure is not an option..."

Unlike Mitsui Shou, who was preparing for a full-scale cultural invasion, Park Buwan was just a playboy second-generation kid who had recently received a family dividend and just wanted to show off.

It just so happened that Douyin opened its barriers, and since the Korean girl group was participating in the [Group Streaming Star] event, he jumped in.

After seeing Zhang Shan's scrolling comment, he left a message in the Livestream Room: "Wait to be crushed by the world's number one," and then exited the Livestream Room as well.

He wasn't stupid; he knew his own limits. He could catch up to that Qingshan if he wanted to, but that would mean spending all his dividends.

So, he started stirring up trouble back in Korea, claiming that the Eastern Great looked down on their "number one country in the universe." He claimed that their country shouldn't let the "small" Eastern Great look down on them and that they must teach them a lesson. He said that the 50 million citizens must unite as one to resist the Eastern Great, and so on...

Believe it or not, he actually managed to recruit a group of people who hated the Eastern Great, who vowed to defend the glory of their "number one in the universe" status.

Watching the rising rankings of the JK Girls Group and the Era Girls Group, Zhang Shan smiled.

These two idiots were actually trying to catch up. Fine, let them chase for a while.

Once they catch up, slapping their faces in person should be even more satisfying.
