CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 176: THAT’S IT?

"Su Sannian... the other side is gifting, hurry up!"

"Go, Su Sannian!"

"How much is left in Summer God Hao’s account? Why don’t you spend it all?"

"Su Sannian, there isn’t much time left, hurry up!"

...

The viewers in the livestream chat were frantically urging Su Yi on. Su Yi, of course, saw their messages. Although Xia Liang had told her to gift as she pleased, she was still a little scared. After all, she had only tapped the screen once, and just like that, two million yuan had vanished.

That was two million yuan! Enough to buy a house! Even if you threw it in the water, you’d at least hear a splash. But with just one tap, it was gone.

Su Yi felt cold sweat trickle down her back. Seeing the audience continuously calling for her to keep going, she felt a wave of fear. After all, she hadn’t felt anything while tapping the gift button, but the delayed shock was immense!

Panicked, she stammered, "I... I’m too scared to gift anymore!"

Hearing this spineless comment, the audience in the livestream erupted in frustration.

"Come on, Su Sannian, what are you thinking?"

"Exactly! Didn’t you say God Xia told you to go all out?"

"You have the account, just hammer away!"

"That’s right! Besides, Summer God Hao probably doesn’t care."

...

Despite the audience’s encouragement, Su Yi was still terrified.

"I should ask him again."

She immediately took out her phone and dialed his number.

「Meanwhile, in the KTV」

Seeing the incoming call from Su Yi, Xia Liang was momentarily stunned. Did that girl really spend it all already? What the hell? That fast?

He answered the call, and Su Yi’s trembling voice came through the phone.

"Xia... Xia... Xia Liang..."

What the hell?

Hearing her panicked voice, Xia Liang subconsciously assumed she had spent all the money and found himself looking at her in a new light.

"You spent it all?"

Huh?

Startled by his question, Su Yi quickly shook her head.

"No, of course not."

"You haven’t spent it all?" Xia Liang was now the one who was confused. "Then why are you calling me?"

Su Yi wasn’t too embarrassed to admit it.

"I... I’m too scared to keep gifting."

"Too scared?" Xia Liang chuckled, now intrigued. "How much did you gift that you’re already scared? A ’small goal’?"

He paused. "No? Then just two million yuan?"

"What? Two million yuan?" Xia Liang’s voice rose. She was Luu Qi’s designated sister-in-law, for crying out loud. How could she be so timid? To fall apart over a mere two million yuan...

He spoke with a fierce tone, "Gift! You gift for me right now! If you don’t gift tens of millions of yuan for me today, I will hold you accountable! Do you hear me? From now on, if I’ve given you the green light, you just gift boldly without any worries. Don’t bother me with such trivial matters."

Hearing Xia Liang’s command, Su Yi didn’t dare to argue.

"Okay."

Hearing her agreement, Xia Liang hung up and walked out of the restroom.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Listening to the busy tone, Su Yi felt like crying but had no tears. For the first time in her life, she felt that spending money wasn’t satisfying at all, especially not when someone was forcing you to spend tens of millions of yuan.

Seeing her expression, the viewers in the livestream were completely bewildered.

"Su Sannian? What’s wrong with you?"

"Did Summer God Hao say something to upset you?"

"Yeah! He can’t be angry just because you gifted two million yuan, can he?"

"That seems unlikely, right?"

...

While Su Yi’s own fans were confused, the trolls who had come over from the opposing stream had other ideas.

"Hahahaha! Serves you right for showing off! Got scolded by the God of Wealth for spending two million, didn’t you?"

"Well, it’s not her money, so she doesn’t have to feel the pinch."

"Wow, two million yuan in one go, what a big spender!"

"Maybe that Summer God Hao told her to stop gifting..."

...

Su Yi paid no attention to the mocking comments. She just said honestly, "He said since I’ve only gifted two million yuan, I shouldn’t bother him, and he also said..."

She couldn’t bring herself to say the rest. It hurt her heart just thinking about it.

That’s hundreds of millions of yuan! And Feiyu just takes half of it for no reason! It was one thing before, but ever since I subconsciously started thinking of myself as Xia Liang’s woman... everything’s changed! It’s such a waste!

Though it pained her deeply, Su Yi steeled herself and prepared to continue.

"Hey! Why did you stop talking mid-sentence?"

"Exactly! The suspense is killing us!"

"What on earth did Summer God Hao say?"

"Wait! I don’t think you guys are getting the main point. Summer God Hao said, ’only’ a few million!"

"That’s right! Holy crap! ’Only’ a few million?"

"Damn! It can’t really be several hundred million yuan, can it?"

...

Amidst the flood of questions, Su Yi finally took a deep breath. Forget it! I have to complete the mission Xia Liang gave me today.

She immediately declared, "Let’s continue!"

Another 1,000 Super Rockets soared into the sky.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

"Your Big Brother Xia has sent Su Sannian a Super Rocket. Click to enter the room and open the treasure chest."

"Your Big Brother Xia has sent Su Sannian a Super Rocket. Click to enter the room and open the treasure chest."

...

"Another two million yuan!"

"Here we go again! Su Sannian, it’s not your money, why do you look so heartbroken?"

"Exactly! Look at that pained expression on her face!"

"Hahahaha! I really want to know how many more rounds Summer God Hao’s account can handle."

"Alright, everyone! Let’s go check out the other side!"

...

This volley of a thousand rockets brought another massive wave of viewers into the livestream.

"I’m here to worship the God of Wealth!"

"My god! Two thousand rockets! Four million yuan! Who is this new God of Wealth?"

"Big Brother Xia? Never heard of him!"

"Damn! Not even Brother Tian has ever gifted like this, has he?"

...

The battle drew so much attention that it siphoned off the popularity from other livestreams. Even the viewership of Feiyu’s top male and female anchors dwindled to just a few thousand; normally, their peak popularity exceeded ten million. But it was no surprise. A clash between Gods of Wealth, and on the scale of millions of yuan at that, was a spectacle everyone wanted to witness.

Watching Su Yi’s PK bar jump by another two million, even seasoned veterans like An Jie and Brother Li were stunned.

Holy hell, another two million yuan? Who is this person?! Do they own a mine or something? To waste money like this? Just loading an account with millions and tossing it to an anchor to gift for them?

Brother Li asked himself if he could do the same, and the honest answer was no. He wasn’t that magnanimous. At this moment, a twinge of regret pricked him. It couldn’t be helped. No matter how rich you were, money didn’t just grow on trees. Tossing out two million yuan at a time still hurts. Even if a portion of it would be refunded later, the platform’s cut was gone forever.

If it had been Xia Liang himself in a gifting war against him, that would be one thing. At least they would both feel the sting of spending so much. But letting the opposing anchor spend the money was an entirely different game. It wasn’t her money, so of course, she wouldn’t feel any pain spending it. In fact, she’d probably be eager to spend more.

Brother Li felt he had a tiger by the tail. The words had already been spoken, like water that couldn’t be unspilled. He was a prominent and respected figure on the Feiyu platform. A man lived for his pride.

"Damn it!"

With a wave of his hand, Brother Li matched the move, sending another thousand rockets soaring into the sky.
