Chapter 60 The Wealthiest of Mortals!
[@Cancer: I never would have guessed that "The Wealthiest Mortal" is actually a real big spender. I thought he was just a newbie. If the super moderator hadn’t blocked him earlier, Sweetie’s stream would probably be number one in popularity right now!]
Not only were the viewers in the livestream room regretting it, but even Miao Sweetie herself felt a deep sense of remorse.
It wasn’t until she had changed clothes that she found out "The Wealthiest Mortal" had been blacklisted by the super moderator.
But to her surprise, he was now sending over three hundred rockets in someone else’s livestream.
And from the look of it, he wasn’t planning to stop anytime soon.
Miao Sweetie grew restless. She confronted her boyfriend, Bai Jiahao, on WeChat.
“That ‘Wealthiest Mortal’ was behaving normally earlier, so why did you block him?”
“I didn’t know he was a big spender! I thought he was using a small account, just talking big. Maybe… you could send him a private message with your WeChat? He might change his mind and come back to your stream.”
Bai Jiahao, sounding aggrieved, blurted out a terrible idea.
Of course, Miao Sweetie was unwilling.
Giving out her WeChat number was self-explanatory; she was a streamer who sold her talent, not herself.
Seeing her unwillingness, Bai Jiahao tried to persuade her again.
“What are you worried about? You two don’t have to meet in person. As long as he doesn’t try to see you offline, you can keep stringing him along. He’ll keep sending gifts, your stats will go up, and then you can sign an exclusive contract with the company. They’ll start promoting you, and the popularity will follow naturally…”
Noticing the strong implication in his words, Miao Sweetie grew even more displeased.
“So I’m just a commodity to you? You want me to seduce him?”
Bai Jiahao tried to twist her words, reasoning with her.
“It’s not seduction, it’s standard practice. You know how the top streamers get so much attention and so many VIP spenders, right? You’re not popular enough yet. If you want to attract fans and attention, you need to put yourself out there. It’s common in this industry. Just relax, trust me, I’m only thinking of your best interests…”
His reply made Miao Sweetie laugh in exasperation.
She was already dissatisfied with Bai Jiahao, and now, for the sake of so-called stats and popularity, he wanted her to proactively entice a rich man. To put it bluntly, it was no different from selling herself.
“I wasn’t the one who blocked him! If you want to seduce him, do it yourself. I’m not getting involved!”
Frustrated, she scolded her boyfriend and returned to her livestream.
But watching the continuous barrage of comments from “Rocket Brother” left her feeling even more disheartened.
If she hadn’t gone to change clothes earlier and had just started dancing, she might already be the most popular streamer on the platform!
She could only blame her boyfriend for being all talk and no skill!
Curious, she couldn’t help but enter “Morning Baby’s” livestream.
There, she saw Morning Baby beaming like a rabbit, bowing repeatedly to “The Wealthiest Mortal” in thanks.
“Brother Mortal, you’re so handsome! Mwah!”
Meanwhile, the chat was exploding with messages.
[TheStar: Who is this ‘Wealthiest Mortal’? He’s about to send five hundred rockets! That’s a total of half a million!]
[Apocalypse X God of War: So envious of the streamer. Now, almost all the viewers and streamers on the platform are here; she’s number one in popularity!]
[Gentle Enchantress: Streamer sis, can we follow each other?]
Overwhelmed by this sudden surge in popularity and viewers, Zhang Yichen was momentarily at a loss.
But she quickly adapted, interacting smoothly with the audience. It was evident that she was highly adaptable and skilled at engaging with viewers.
Lin Fan had been so generous for two reasons: to test Zhang Yichen’s abilities and to boost her popularity, thereby showcasing his own influence.
Zhang Yichen didn’t mention in the stream that “The Wealthiest Mortal” was sending so many gifts to lure her to his company.
After all, such matters are best kept private.
In private, she did send Lin Fan a WeChat message.
“Brother Mortal, thank you for all the gifts! I’m so happy! Do you want to meet up?”
It wasn’t until he’d sent five hundred rockets that Lin Fan replied.
“Of course. I can come to Shanghai to see you and discuss switching companies. Would you be interested?”
“Absolutely, no problem! Whenever you’re free, I’m available!”
This time, Zhang Yichen didn’t hesitate at all. She replied almost instantly after receiving his message.
After all, anyone who could send five hundred rockets showed enough sincerity to win over Lin Fan.
“How about the day after tomorrow, on the weekend? I’ll come to Shanghai and we can meet.”
“Great! By the way, Brother Mortal, here’s my phone number. You can call me directly…”
When Zhang Yichen sent her next message, it even included a few cute emojis.
Clearly, she had no reservations about Lin Fan—she even seemed to trust him.
Lin Fan checked her stats in the system.
[Name: Zhang Yichen]
[Attractiveness: 9.3]
[Purity: 96]
[Favorability (Intimacy): 30 (Confidant)]
“This girl is almost too naive. Just five hundred rockets and she already considers me a confidant? She really is a pure and innocent sweetheart,” Lin Fan thought with delight.
The more innocent and adorable a girl was, the more she attracted viewers.
Before he arrived, Zhang Yichen’s stream had only a thousand viewers; now it had over two hundred thousand!
Her follower count had skyrocketed to fifty thousand!
For a rookie who’d only signed a contract a few days ago, her luck was nothing short of miraculous.
Usually, reaching fifty thousand followers would take a newcomer at least twenty days.
She had achieved it in just over ten minutes, becoming the most popular streamer on the platform.
Naturally, Lin Fan himself became a hot topic.
His own follower count was climbing, now exceeding a thousand.
Moreover, he had received countless friend requests and private messages from many female streamers, inviting him to their streams.
[Locked Heart for You: Brother Mortal, can you visit my stream? I can do even more than the others!]
[Innocent Little Loli: Brother Mortal, here’s my WeChat! I’m also from Hangzhou, please follow me…]
[Letting Go: Brother Mortal, here are some of my photos. If you want to see more, just add me…]
Some female streamers not only sent their WeChat numbers but also sent many alluring and provocative photos.
But Lin Fan ignored them all.
He was only interested in female streamers with an attractiveness rating above nine and high purity.
It was only natural to appreciate beauty, and Lin Fan was no exception.
Besides, he had come to Starlight Live precisely to recruit talent. If he wanted to make Genesis Entertainment bigger, he needed more beautiful female streamers to join.
At that moment, he saw that “Sweetie” had also sent him a message.
“Brother Mortal, I’m sorry about earlier. I didn’t know the super moderator had blocked you. I’ve changed clothes now. If you’d like to see me dance the window-cleaning dance, you’re welcome in my stream…”
Reading Miao Sweetie’s apologetic message, Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh.
If it weren’t for that foolish super moderator, the number one spot would definitely belong to Miao Sweetie.
But he was still interested in testing her further.
