Chapter 135: The Four Heavenly Kings Enter the Fray!
Page 1 of 3
Hearing her say this, Lin Fan could not help feeling secretly pleased.
Lin Mu’s words had effectively given him a way out. It seemed Li Li’s guidance had worked quite well.
Li Li had previously mentioned that she treated Lin Mu almost like her own goddaughter and had taught her many things.
Even so, the viewers in the livestream room could not resist making sarcastic remarks.
“She’s merely showing mercy to the fairy. That country bumpkin must be secretly celebrating in front of his screen, but in the presence of the little celestial beauty, he’s still nothing more than a country bumpkin…”
“What qualifications does he have to compete with Young Master Ming? Young Master Ming is about to come online. Once that country bumpkin sees him, he’ll probably disappear without a trace again.”
“A bootlicker never comes to a good end! Isn’t this loser only rich? He has no right to be the top donor. We strongly support Young Master Ming becoming the number-one big spender!”
Lin Fan remained utterly indifferent to the foul, unsightly comments. Since he intended to compete with Wang Minglou, he would naturally make sure everyone understood that there was always someone greater beyond the heavens.
After waiting for a while, Wang Minglou also logged into Lin Mu’s livestream, riding a dazzling Vulcan.
He then posted a comment that set the entire livestream room ablaze.
[Young Master Ming: The country bumpkin has shown up again? You still have the nerve to watch Mu Mu’s livestream? You’re as shameless as a filthy pig. I suggest you stay in your stinking ditch!]
Lin Mu frowned when she saw the comment.
“Young Master Ming, please stop posting uncivilized comments, or I’ll mute you!”
Clearly, she was deeply displeased with Wang Minglou’s words.
More accurately, she had never liked people like Wang Minglou—arrogant, self-important, and contemptuous of everyone around them.
Wang Minglou, however, did not take her warning seriously. He posted another comment insulting Lin Fan.
[Young Master Ming: This guy toyed with all of us last week. Mu Mu, you really shouldn’t defend him. For all you know, he’s a useless coward in real life, no better than a filthy rat!]
Seeing this, Lin Fan stopped holding back. He opened the auto-clicking software once more and immediately began sending rockets in a frenzy.
“Brother Mu Mu has sent twenty rockets to Mu Mu. Come watch!”
“Brother Mu Mu has sent one hundred rockets to Mu Mu, setting the whole room ablaze…”
In the blink of an eye, Lin Fan had sent more than a hundred rockets.
And just as before, once the rockets began, there was no stopping them. They continued without pause.
The popularity of Lin Mu’s livestream rapidly climbed into the top ten on the Doujin platform.

Before long, Lin Fan’s rockets had surpassed a thousand. Only then did Wang Minglou realize that Brother Mu Mu was genuinely challenging him to a spending duel.
He immediately began sending rockets alongside Lin Fan.
But Wang Minglou was tapping the screen by hand, and his speed was nowhere near Lin Fan’s.
By the time he started sending gifts, Lin Fan had already sent five thousand rockets.
When Wang Minglou reached one thousand, Lin Fan’s rocket count had already hit ten thousand.
The rockets from the two men appeared on opposite sides, blanketing the entire livestream room.
The comments below split into two camps. Half the viewers were cheering for Young Master Ming’s overwhelming swagger, while the other half urged Brother Mu Mu to display his boundless generosity and bravely compete with Young Master Ming to the very end.
How could Lin Fan not know that these viewers were deliberately stirring up trouble and provoking a confrontation?
These netizens had never before seen two super-rich tycoons competing for the position of top donor in the same livestream room—especially not two tycoons who had each spent tens of millions on gifts.
In less than half an hour, the rockets the two men had sent in Lin Mu’s livestream were worth more than twenty million Chinese yuan.
Not only did they break the Doujin platform’s record, they also pushed the popularity of Lin Mu’s livestream to number one on the entire platform once again.
But soon afterward, Wang Minglou stopped sending gifts.
He had run out of money.
After spending just over ten million, there was nothing left in his bank account.
Lin Fan, meanwhile, continued without slowing down. The rocket effects kept flashing across the livestream room, dazzling even Lin Fan himself.
Only after forty minutes did Lin Fan finally stop.
He had sent a total of twenty thousand rockets, worth twenty million Chinese yuan.
Including the gifts he had sent the previous week, his total spending easily surpassed Wang Minglou’s. With a cumulative total of fifty million, he once again claimed first place.
Wang Minglou, by contrast, had spent only thirty-seven million in total—far less than Lin Fan.
Yet from the comments, Lin Fan saw that Wang Minglou had actually started his own livestream to seek help from others.
Using another account, Lin Fan entered Wang Minglou’s livestream room and saw him raging helplessly, cursing Lin Fan as an idiot.
“Brothers, it’s not that I’m out of money. My bank card has hit its spending limit. Don’t worry—I’m figuring out how to add more funds. No matter what, I won’t let that country bumpkin remain the top donor!”
“You don’t need to send me gifts. I have plenty of money. Even if I run out, I still have lots of friends. All their money together would be enough to crush that pathetic loser!”

“I have plenty of friends… For example, you know the Four Heavenly Kings of Hangzhou, right? I also know the Thirteen Young Masters of the Capital, and the Five Princes of Shanghai!”
Watching him boast and curse without end, Lin Fan felt both amused and somewhat astonished.
He had not expected this man to have such extensive connections. He actually knew the Four Heavenly Kings of Hangzhou.
What was more, he really did make a video call, in front of all his viewers, to one of them—Ma Taoyang.
After hearing that Wang Minglou’s bank card had reached its limit, Ma Taoyang said he could lend him money and support him in reclaiming the number-one position. He even said that he could ask the other three to lend Wang Minglou money as well.
Only through the comments in the livestream room did Lin Fan learn that Wang Minglou had known the Four Heavenly Kings for a long time.
Together with several other wealthy heirs, they had established several talent agencies, modeling agencies, and even livestreaming companies. Their intentions were obvious.
This time, Wang Minglou had taken a fancy to the little celestial beauty, whose future in show business was limitless. He was determined to win Lin Mu, and Ma Taoyang even declared in the livestream room that he would support Wang Minglou in pursuing her.
After watching Wang Minglou’s livestream for a while, Lin Fan simply sent Lin Mu two messages, asking whether she knew Wang Minglou’s background.
Lin Mu replied quickly, saying that she had known about it for a long time. That was why she had always rejected Wang Minglou.
She even said that if Lin Fan could defeat Wang Minglou so thoroughly tonight that he finally gave up for good, she would meet Lin Fan and discuss signing a contract with him.
She had learned from Li Li that Lin Fan was investing in a series of films about Judge Dee. Li Li also wanted to bring Lin Mu back into acting, and the prospect had greatly appealed to her.
Lin Fan replied that this would be no trouble for him at all.
More than ten minutes later, after receiving Ma Taoyang’s transfer, Wang Minglou returned to Lin Mu’s livestream room.
This time, he was not alone. The Four Heavenly Kings of Hangzhou, led by Ma Taoyang, had also arrived.
They all declared that they would show Brother Mu Mu what it meant to spend money like dirt and possess wealth enough to rival a nation.
They even threatened to force Brother Mu Mu to withdraw from the rankings and make Lin Fan disappear from Lin Mu’s livestream forever.
They went so far as to issue a challenge: if Lin Fan was still firmly sitting at the top of the rankings by midnight, Wang Minglou would give up pursuing Lin Mu.
Conversely, if Lin Fan fell to second place, he would delete his account himself and never return to Lin Mu’s livestream room.
Lin Fan immediately posted a comment accepting the challenge.
