Chapter 59: Frenzied Combo

After pondering for a while, Lin Fan decisively exited Miao Tiantian’s livestream. He visited several other streams, but the female hosts were all rather average in terms of looks—either their attractiveness fell short of a nine out of ten, or they were hosts from other platforms.

Apart from its own contracted hosts, Starlight Live also hosted well-known streamers from other platforms who simulcast there, mainly to drive traffic. After all, Starlight Live was in a stage of rapid growth, investing heavily in advertising and traffic, even collaborating with other platforms and media companies to allow big streamers to broadcast on multiple platforms. Only hosts like Miao Tiantian, whose contracts had been bought out by Superstar Entertainment, could stream exclusively on a single platform.

Soon, Lin Fan discovered another female host whose looks were on par with Miao Tiantian’s. Her screen name was Morning Baby.

[Name: Zhang Yichen]

[Age: 21]

[Height: 156cm]

[Weight: 45kg]

[Attractiveness: 9.3]

[Innocence: 96]

He checked her profile and learned that she had only recently signed up. Her self-introduction stated that she was a student at the Drama Academy in Magic City and currently worked as a voice actress.

Lin Fan was drawn by her sweet, girlish voice—adorable and full of youthful innocence. Her makeup was equally charming, making her look like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old beauty. Her eyes sparkled with purity and freshness, captivating and lively. She possessed neither the forced seductiveness affected by the major streamers nor any hint of performed allure.

In short, she seemed every bit the innocent girl next door, untouched by the world.

Because she was new, her current viewership was low—barely a thousand online, and less than three thousand followers. Lin Fan had scrolled for a long time before he stumbled upon her, meaning she was buried at the bottom of the list and hard to discover.

Nowadays, livestream platforms all favor pushing top streamers with large followings, while newcomers are relegated to obscure corners, receiving little attention.

Seeing the sparse comments scrolling through her stream, Lin Fan immediately sent a message:

[Richest Mortal: Miss Host, could you do a window-wiping dance? I’ll send you a big rocket if you do!]

Morning Baby tilted her head, sincerity written all over her face as she replied, “Mortal Brother, really? If I dance, will you really send a rocket? Or are you tricking me?”

Her coy, sugary voice made Lin Fan laugh.

This girl was simply too pure and adorable.

[Richest Mortal: If I’m lying, I’m a puppy!]

“Alright, I’ll dance for you. You have to keep your word, or I’ll be upset!”

With that, Morning Baby stood up from her chair and began to dance energetically to the music.

But after she finished, Lin Fan didn’t immediately send any gifts.

Morning Baby’s mood visibly soured.

“Boohoo, liar! Big liar! You wasted my feelings—I’m blocking you!”

Noticing that she didn’t react with the outburst he’d expected, Lin Fan realized her sweetness wasn’t an act—she really was genuine and innocent. Just as she was about to block him, Lin Fan decisively sent three rocket gifts.

She was stunned.

“Wow! Thank you, Mortal Brother, you’re the best!”

“I thought you were teasing me—sorry about that… Mortal Brother, if you want to see anything, I can perform it for you. I can sing, dance, and even play some instruments like piano and drums…”

Morning Baby became quite the chatterbox, actively engaging with Lin Fan. She even sent him a private message.

[Morning Baby requests to add you as a friend.]

[Morning Baby: Mortal Brother, this is my WeChat. Thank you so much! I’ve only been streaming for six days, and you already sent me three rockets—I’m so happy!]

Lin Fan was very pleased with her performance and immediately added her on WeChat. He tried to check her Moments but found no posts—it was clearly an alternate account. Moreover, although she accepted his friend request, she didn’t take the initiative to message him, showing she wasn’t one to flirt with fans.

However, Lin Fan began his online poaching attempt.

[Richest Mortal: Miss Host, have you signed with Starlight Live? Would you like to join my company as a top streamer? I’m a talent scout and your beauty stunned me. If you agree, I’ll cover your breach of contract and buy you a house and a car.]

“Mortal Brother, are you joking, or are you trying to keep me as a mistress? I don’t accept being kept, you know!”

Her straightforwardness made Lin Fan laugh out loud. To ask such a blunt question so openly in her stream—she truly was candid, much like Qiao Xinxin.

[If I send you a hundred rockets, can we meet in person? I really want you to join my company.]

Morning Baby looked up at the ceiling, paused for two seconds, then replied without hesitation, “If you really send a hundred, I’ll consider it…”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Fan triggered rapid-fire gifting.

Ten rockets!

Twenty!

Thirty…

Soon, Morning Baby’s stream was flooded with a barrage of rocket effects.

“Wow, Mortal Brother, you’re so generous—thank you!” Morning Baby stood up, bowing repeatedly in gratitude, her joy uncontainable.

Meanwhile, prominent banners appeared across the middle of every stream on Starlight Live.

[Richest Mortal sent 30 rockets in Morning Baby’s stream! Come watch!]

[Richest Mortal sent 50 rockets in Morning Baby’s stream! Click to watch!]

[Richest Mortal sent 100 rockets in Morning Baby’s stream! Rush to watch!]

[Richest Mortal sent 150 rockets in Morning Baby’s stream…]

For the next ten minutes, Lin Fan kept clicking away.

A never-ending stream of “Rush to watch” banners scrolled across the top of every stream, leaving viewers everywhere in shock.

In no time at all, everyone flocked into Morning Baby’s stream.

Seeing the screen filled with rockets, viewers were stunned.

[Nightwater zxh: Whoa! A super-wealthy patron just sent two hundred rockets!]

[Windchime 9R: He’s still sending! Is he going for two hundred? Who is this tycoon tossing money around? So jealous of the host!]

[Unfettered Gentleman: My god, almost three hundred and still going! This Richest Mortal must be an heir—so extravagant! The whole platform is in an uproar!]

[Screaming Goddess: I’m so envious! First time seeing a patron send three hundred rockets in a row! Instantly the hottest stream on Starlight Live.]

Amid the spectators’ astonishment, Morning Baby herself was left speechless.

She had already given all the thanks she could; now, only shock remained.

Meanwhile, viewers and moderators in Little Sweetie’s stream were also amazed by the prominent banners.

[Anonymous ID: Richest Mortal? No way, isn’t that the freeloader who just got blocked?]

[Divine Zhuge Liang: I’m going to check it out—over three hundred rockets sent already!]
