Chapter 129: The Most Difficult Goddess to Conquer!

"So little confidence in me?" Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckle.

Being underestimated by a woman for the first time left him feeling slightly stung. Back at his company, female streamers would fawn over him, begging for dates or dropping heavy hints, all of which he had resisted. Even Su Tanmo, a woman of extreme coldness, had to address him as "Mr. Lin" now. Could it be that Lin Mu was simply uninterested in him?

Just then, the system pinged with a notification.

【Does the host confirm selecting Lin Mu as the target for the "Simp" Counterattack mission? The difficulty level for this target is five stars!】
【Upon successful counterattack, you will be rewarded with ten attribute points and ten charm points.】
【Additional note: The higher the physical beauty, the higher the difficulty of the counterattack.】

"Even the system is issuing a special warning? It seems the cost to win over Lin Mu might be higher than it was for Su Tanmo." Lin Fan hesitated.

After all, Lin Mu was hailed by the media as a "once-in-four-thousand-years beauty." In the mere two months since the semester began, she had topped the entertainment trending lists several times without even trying. Whether it was her choice of clothing, signing with Galaxy Entertainment, or singing a single song, everything she did went viral. Given her ethereal beauty, it was only natural for her to be proud and aloof. To gain her absolute favor, his every move would be scrutinized in the public eye; the slightest bit of negative PR could cause her opinion of him to plummet. The system was likely warning him to be cautious because it had foreseen these complications.

"Since the difficulty is so high, can it be lowered? Can I complete the mission just by becoming a close friend, like with Li Li or Su Tanmo?" Lin Fan tried to negotiate, but the system remained silent.

This meant he either had to abandon the mission or commit to being a "simp" for Lin Mu. But if he gave up, he would never be able to poach her for his own agency. While he wavered, Wang Minglou and the viewers in the chat, seeing his silence, began to mock him relentlessly.

[Young Master Ming: Turns out this clown is all talk. He tipped a hundred rockets and thought he could pass for a wealthy man? He’s probably just a loser in real life!]
[Vice Leader of the Ma Army: Young Master Ming is truly discerning; he saw through this peasant at a glance!]
[Liangzhi9: A peasant like him thinks he’s worthy of simping for Mu Mu? He’s not even fit to be her pet!]

Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately typed a message: "I just went to top up my account. Time to open your eyes!"

With that, he activated an auto-clicker and began spamming rockets.

"Brother Mumu has gifted Mu Mu fifty rockets! Come and watch!"
"Brother Mumu has gifted Mu Mu one hundred rockets..."

The scroll of the chat couldn't keep up with the speed of the gifts. For the next ten minutes, the screen of Lin Mu's stream was completely obscured by rocket animations. You couldn't even see the viewers' comments! By the time Lin Fan reached five hundred rockets, the stream's popularity skyrocketed to the number one spot on the entire Doujin platform.

Countless viewers flooded in, gasping in awe as the endless stream of rockets flew across the screen. Seeing that Lin Fan had kept his word, Lin Mu felt a flicker of genuine appreciation.

[Lin Mu's favorability +10!]

Seeing her favorability jump from zero to ten, Lin Fan thought to himself, *This isn't so hard; why is it rated five stars?*

Lin Mu’s attitude shifted, and she urged Lin Fan to stop. If he were to tip millions, sending that many rockets would take at least an hour of non-stop spamming. She didn't want her stream to be unwatchable for the next hour. "Brother Mumu, you don't need to tip so much. I've seen your sincerity."

But Lin Fan turned a deaf ear. He had decided to become the top donor, and he had to follow through. If he stopped now, before surpassing Wang Minglou, he would only be mocked further. To his surprise, because he ignored her request, her favorability toward him dropped by five points.

[Lin Mu's favorability -5. Current favorability (intimacy): 5]

"Are you kidding me?" The sudden drop left him stunned. "I get it now—she's looking for a simp who actually listens to her!"

Lin Fan realized the truth behind her high standards. She wanted a genuine follower, not a fickle playboy who said one thing and did another. Despite understanding her character, he felt no regret.

Since Lin Fan didn't stop, Lin Mu simply ignored him and went back to practicing her singing. Because the stream was now the most popular on the platform, it attracted an unprecedented number of viewers, becoming the third most-watched stream in Doujin's history. The only ones higher were a massive celebrity concert and a top-tier retail streamer. It was truly mind-boggling.

As more people flooded in, they realized a wealthy benefactor was tipping her. Using his auto-clicker, Lin Fan finished sending thirty thousand rockets in forty minutes. He sat firmly at the top of the leaderboard, far surpassing Wang Minglou.

The chat was now filled with speculation about his identity.

"Is this Brother Mumu even richer than Young Master Ming? He showed up out of nowhere and dropped thirty million! That's insane!"
"Even the official media is reporting it! Look at the news, Mu Mu is trending: 'Mysterious Billionaire Tips Streamer Mu Mu Over Twenty Million.' I wonder which company boss he is—he's spoiling her so much!"
"Who would have thought Young Master Ming would be played like a clown? This is enough to shock the whole industry. Everyone is probably digging into this Brother Mumu's identity right now..."

Seeing the chat filled with praise, Lin Fan felt a surge of pride. Wang Minglou had spent money and gained nothing, while he had gained favor and, thanks to the system, would receive a rebate on his "simp" spending. Having spent thirty million, he was set to receive a three-million rebate.

After the tipping spree ended, Lin Fan sent one last message, satisfied: "Young Master Ming, are you convinced now? Don't underestimate people; there are plenty of people in this world richer than you. Don't show your face in Mu Mu's stream again!"
