Chapter 136: Now This Is What It Means to Throw Money Around!

Lin Mu originally only streamed for about three hours each weekend night, but upon seeing Lin Fan and Wang Minglou preparing for a showdown, she reluctantly extended her streaming time due to the audience’s strong demand.

However, she remained indifferent to the pace of the chat messages, continuing to sing on her own. Occasionally, when viewers requested a particular song, she would sing it once; otherwise, she either drifted along or hummed a few lines.

Before long, Wang Minglou began sending rockets again.

But Lin Fan did not immediately follow suit; he seemed to disappear once more.

Seeing Lin Fan’s lack of response, the live chat was soon filled with mocking and disparaging comments.

“Could it be that Brother Mumu has fled again? Afraid off when Ming Shao called in reinforcements?”

“I told you, he’s just pretending to be something he’s not. How can he compete with Ming Shao? Ming Shao is one of the Thirteen Young Masters of the capital. The combined wealth of the Thirteen Young Masters rivals the GDP of some backward countries!”

“Thanks to Ming Shao, I finally understand what it means to be ‘rich enough to rival a nation’! That Brother Mumu really has no right to be the top donor! This time, Little Fairy might finally agree to date Ming Shao, right?”

“You don’t know—Ming Shao has already visited the Drama Academy in Modu to see Little Fairy. I heard he gave her many gifts, but she didn’t accept any…”

Nearly all the messages mocked Lin Fan, suggesting he was terrified by Ming Shao’s overwhelming wealth and would never be more than a country bumpkin.

Little did anyone know that Lin Fan had actually gone to the restroom during those ten or so minutes.

When he returned, seeing that Wang Minglou’s total donations were still three million short of his own, he calmly began the second round of donations.

The viewers in the livestream were shocked to see Brother Mumu continue donating.

“So this guy didn’t leave after all. Could he be recharging?”

“Probably still can’t beat Ming Shao. Ming Shao said earlier in the stream he plans to donate 100 million tonight!”

“Oh my god, 100 million? No one has ever donated over 100 million on any livestream platform before. Ming Shao is truly mighty! Tonight’s going to be exciting…”

Half an hour later, Lin Fan donated another ten thousand rockets.

Wang Minglou, seeing Lin Fan quickly surpass him with ease, became furious and cursed loudly in the livestream.

“I’ve lived this long and never been humiliated like this! Brothers, even if I have to spend all my wealth tonight, I will reclaim first place!”

“Just 100 million? That’s my annual pocket money. Only 100 million? I doubt Brother Mumu even has that much... Who’s stupid enough to donate 100 million on a livestream? I could buy a house instead of wasting money on this. Plus, the platform takes half…”

“If that guy really donates 100 million, am I scared? The Four Kings can lend me 20 to 30 million anytime, and I’ll knock him off the top spot!”

Wang Minglou remained confident. He firmly believed Brother Mumu couldn’t surpass 100 million because, deep down, he didn’t want to spend that much on Lin Mu.

Since the platform takes half, donating 100 million would waste 50 million.

If he really had 100 million, he’d buy Lin Mu a mansion instead of wasting money on this livestream rivalry.

His words were meant to build his image, to rally his fans to intimidate Lin Fan, and to show off his wealth and connections in front of Lin Mu.

But what he didn’t know was that Lin Fan was watching his stream too.

Once Lin Fan realized Wang Minglou was all talk, he no longer worried about losing the top donor position.

Still, to make Wang Minglou accept defeat gracefully, he couldn’t lose in momentum.

Lin Fan stopped after donating 30 million in the second round.

At that moment, his total donations had reached 80 million!

In other words, he had donated 50 million yuan tonight in Lin Mu’s stream.

In contrast, Wang Minglou’s total was still under 70 million, far behind.

After spending the 20 million borrowed from Ma Taoyang, Wang Minglou grew restless.

“Damn! How is that guy so fierce? I thought I scared him off, but he just donated 50 million in one go!”

“Brothers, don’t worry. I’ll borrow more from others, and we’ll push to 100 million! Tonight I’ll break the record and make headlines. That turtle hiding behind the screen will finally see who I am!”

Wang Minglou hesitated at first. He didn’t want to be the fool wasting money.

But encouraged and provoked by viewers, he decided to go all out for a fight to the death with Brother Mumu.

He called Su Qianlong, Bai Jiahao, and Xu Lin to borrow money under the eyes of the audience.

Unexpectedly, Su Qianlong and Bai Jiahao couldn’t lend him anything, claiming they didn’t have that much.

They had only verbally supported Wang Minglou during the earlier call, nothing more.

No one had the funds to help Wang Minglou push the ranking.

They only wanted to create a big scene to intimidate Lin Fan.

But it seemed to have no effect.

If anything, Brother Mumu didn’t take them seriously at all.

Still, Xu Lin and a few others lent Wang Minglou tens of millions.

“Brothers! I got over 40 million! This time we’ll definitely reach first place. Tonight we’ll break history and become the first to reach 100 million total donations on any livestream platform!”

With the borrowed money, Wang Minglou regained his arrogant, confident demeanor.

Back in Lin Mu’s stream, over the next hour, he donated 30 million in one go.

Yet Lin Fan refused to back down.

His speed was always faster than Wang Minglou’s. When Wang Minglou’s total reached 90 million, Lin Fan had already made history as the first wealthy donor on Doujin to surpass 100 million total donations!

When the viewers saw Lin Fan’s total reach 100 million, the entire chat erupted in excitement.

Even the previously mocking netizens were subdued by Lin Fan’s extravagant generosity and imposing presence.

“My god! Is this the world of the big shots? Just a flick of a finger and 100 million is gone!”

“He donated 70 million just tonight! Ming Shao’s total donations over the past month only reached 90 million. Compared to Brother Mumu, the gap is obvious.”

“I wonder who Brother Mumu really is? How dare he face Ming Shao. Isn’t he afraid Ming Shao will crush him?”

“Are you stupid? Someone who can donate that much must be a powerful figure in real life. There are many richer second-generation elites than Ming Shao in Huaguo. Ming Shao isn’t even a top-tier rich kid, at best second-tier…”

During a pause, Lin Fan glanced at Wang Minglou’s stream.

By then, Wang Minglou was on the verge of collapse.

To be precise, he was terrified by Lin Fan’s overwhelming momentum.
