Evan, seeing these messages from various female streamers, could only scoff. He didn't bother to reply—sending even a single period seemed a waste.
He continued his onslaught of Super Rockets, unabashedly slapping the faces of the trolls and Fortune Baron himself!
"4022!"
"4023!"
"..."
Ninety minutes had passed, and his gifting marathon hadn't paused for a second.
Ava's stream was abuzz like never before, as the entirety of YouClub's audience and even those from other platforms converged there, all eager to catch a glimpse of this super tycoon and the beauty he was showering with riches.
And during this spectacle, as Evan continued his cool, methodical gifting, the headquarters of YouClub was anything but composed.
"Manager Kennedy, please proceed with signing a contract with this broadcaster named Ava immediately!"
In a modest twenty-square-meter office, seven YouClub employees—four women and three men—pleaded with the middle-aged man seated regally in the office chair.
"All of you are interceding on her behalf?"
The middle-aged man gave a wry smile, his voice tinged with helplessness. "I wish I could sign her up. A cash cow like this, who wouldn't want to hold on to it? But the company executives have issued orders—I dare not disobey!"
"The company executives?"
A fair-skinned girl stepped forward from the seven staffers, adjusting her black-rimmed glasses as she spoke candidly, "Manager Kennedy, I've thoroughly investigated this broadcaster's background. As far as I know, she has offended someone in the entertainment industry, not our live streaming circle. So, it should be possible for us to sign her!"
"Yes, we can sign her! The entertainment industry will need to rely on our streaming platforms for growth in the future, so even if we sign her, the fallout won't be significant," the other six employees stepped forward in solidarity with the fair-skinned girl, their stance resolute.
"This is..."
Manager Kennedy massaged the back of his head, clearly troubled. "I'm just a manager. How can I go against the commands of the company executives? You're putting me in a tough spot here..."
After exchanging looks with the others, the girl continued, "If the executives blame anyone, you can say we signed her without your knowledge. If they probe further, we seven are prepared to resign!"
"Are you using resignation to threaten me?" Manager Kennedy's gaze was fixed on the fair-skinned girl.
"No, not at all!"
She stood her ground fearlessly, "We're considering the company's best interests. This broadcaster earned over eight million dollars in donations in just an hour and a half, and the donations continue to flow. Surely, that's something other broadcasters can't achieve in a year."
"Right! You've signed streamers who make just a few thousand dollars a year, yet this one has made eight million in just over an hour. Why not sign her? Moreover, she's drawn traffic from our competitors to YouClub—a valuable contribution."
The others chimed in supportively, "Signing her may not be as detrimental to the company as you think. On the contrary, the benefits are immense. If she re-enters the entertainment industry and becomes a star, won't that bring massive advantages to YouClub?"
"Hmm."
Manager Kennedy pondered in his chair for a long while before slowly standing up, exhaling deeply, "Alright, if she receives donations of a hundred thousand dollars tomorrow, I will sign her."
"Alright then."
The seven employees, though discontented, found no other recourse as Manager Kennedy refused to budge. Fortunately, he had relented significantly; whether they could sign Ava depended on whether she would receive donations tomorrow.
Evan was blissfully unaware of the scene that had just unfolded at YouClub's headquarters. At this very moment, he was still merrily unleashing a barrage of gifts.
"5583!"
"5584!"
"..."
Ava's stream had reached ten million viewers, causing the viewership in other YouClub broadcasters' streams to plummet to nearly zero. Moreover, other streaming platforms were experiencing a significant drop in traffic due to her stream's pull.
"Has this guy lost his mind? He's donated over ten million dollars to a single broadcaster!"
"You know nothing of the world of the wealthy!"
"Exactly, the world of the affluent is beyond our understanding. Poverty has blinded us. Plus, I think I saw YouClub's number one tycoon, 'Fortune Baron,' just now trying to compete with Wealthy Smith in gifting. Seems like he has run away!"
Evan felt no pity for the rival he had effortlessly crushed. Watching the chat roll by, a disdainful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
As he was about to break past six thousand Super Rockets, Ava snapped out of her daze and implored, "Wealthy Smith, please stop donating! I'll close the stream if you continue. You've already given nearly twelve million dollars. Your money was hard-earned; keep it for yourself!"
This girl, always so considerate of others!
Hearing her plea, Evan couldn't help but shake his head. His left hand continued to gift Super Rockets, while his right hand typed on the phone, "It's okay, let's add a hundred more to make it six thousand!"
The entire audience was astounded!
Six thousand? How could someone afford such extravagance? It was utterly insane!
The few hundred trolls in the stream of ten million viewers could no longer stir up trouble. They had started to retreat, fading without a trace.
"Stream Closed."
Just as Evan was ten Super Rockets short of reaching six thousand, a notification popped up on his screen—Ava had closed her stream.
At the same time, the Super Rich System announced in his mind, "Two hours have elapsed. Mission complete. Total expenditure: 11.98 million dollars. Reward for mission completion: one Super Rich Coin, one chance to draw."
That was it?
"Fuck! I wasn't even done enjoying the unlimited funds."
While Evan grumbled about the Super Rich System, he exited Ava's stream, about to check his balance in the 'Loser’s Funds' section of the system panel. That's when his sister Bella's call came through.
" Evan, did you just create an account to follow Ava?"
Bella was unusually excited, "Someone named 'Wealthy Smith' just donated over ten million dollars to Ava. Wow, now she has the funds to visit the children in the mountains."
Evan chuckled, "Wealthy Smith? Is he rich? Is he handsome?"
Bella replied, "I don't know about handsome, but his generosity towards Ava is real. I just don't get where his money comes from. Does it fall from the sky?"
Evan laughed, "Maybe, just maybe, his money really does fall from the sky."
After hanging up with his sister Bella, Evan eagerly opened the "Try Your Luck" module on the system panel. The Super Rich System did reward him with a draw, and who knows? Maybe luck would grant him the jackpot.As he entered the draw module, a huge spinning wheel appeared before him, its blue pointer whirling at breakneck speed. The wheel itself was divided into five colored sections—red, yellow, green, blue, and purple.The red section, marked with "Thank You for Playing," took up more than 60% of the wheel. The yellow section, about 20%, offered a "Random Prize." Green, taking up roughly 10%, allowed a choice of any item from the Superpower Market valued under 300 Super Rich Coins. Blue, at 7%, offered any item under 5000 Super Rich Coins. The smallest slice was purple, a mere 3%, tantalizingly labeled with "Choice of any item from the Superpower Market!"My God! Any item from the Superpower Market?This is insane."Lady Luck, bestow your grace upon me!" Evan rubbed his hands toge
Looks like I won't be able to afford it, but having it displayed there, to gaze upon daily—it's a goal!Evan had been enamored with the Invisibility Technique since childhood. The thought of it—such a divine skill! Sneaking peeks at bathing beauties, eavesdropping on boudoir secrets—it all seemed rather thrilling."Why display it on the homepage when it costs 400 Super Rich Coins? Can you afford it?""Can't I just look?"Perhaps Evan's brazen attitude wore it down, because this time the system didn't retort. It simply placed the Invisibility Technique on the Superpower Market's homepage."Invisibility Technique Potion, 400 Super Rich Coins!"Evan scrutinized the description below: Upon consumption, the Host will permanently gain the ability to become invisible. Given the Host's skepticism about this potion, you are granted a single trial use. The trial version has limited functionality but will amply demonstrate the potion's invisibility effects. Price—1 Super Rich Coin.Evan grinned,
"Ahh!"Daisy's scream pierced the air, her nails digging into her own flesh, the sharp pain a desperate bid for clarity.But what good did a shred of lucidity do when her body was ablaze with fever, her clothes soaked through with sweat, and her heart felt as though millions of ants were gnawing at her from the inside out? She moaned uncontrollably, a sound that filled her with shame and embarrassment. She tried to restrain herself, but her body wouldn't obey.Evan, hidden in the underbrush, found himself in a quandary. The idea of a heroic rescue was stirring, but in reality, it was fraught with difficulty.That Derek Walker was no pushover, and with several black-suited bodyguards in tow who looked like they knew how to handle themselves, it was no small feat.Not to mention, saving Daisy now would mean he had confronted the sons of two powerful figures—first Anthony Taylor, the mayor's son, and now Derek Walker, the district mayor's son.What if they joined forces in retaliation? W
Evan flared up in anger: "Get it straight, will you? If it weren't for me, you would've been violated by now!"As he finished speaking, he paused abruptly, a realization dawning on him, and he quickly examined his own body."When did the drug's effect wear off!""Whatever, it's over now, and the person is saved. Time to leave, goodbye!" Indifferent to Daisy's plight, he walked straight to the shore.Behind him, no sooner had he taken a step forward than Daisy suddenly began to sink."Damn it!" Evan plunged back into the water in response.Daisy, who had choked on a couple of mouthfuls of water, struggled instinctively and then grasped onto something. At the very moment she did, Evan, who was holding onto Daisy's waist, froze in place."Let go!" he barked in anger.Freed from the water's surface by his command, Daisy, shivering, immediately released her hold.Fortunately, her body was limp from the drug and lacked the strength to cling firmly, or Evan would have been in tears by now."
"Sure thing, Manager Hunt," the sales associates replied in unison."Hey, could you help me take a look at that blazer?" Evan, amused by Scott's charade, pointed at a British-style blazer and said to the sales associates with a smile, "That piece looks quite sharp. It would look handsome on me. Could you bring it down for me to try on?"One of the sales associates, with a sharp face resembling a fox, was about to leave. Hearing Evan's request, she paused and threw a mocking glance over her shoulder at Scott, "Sir, why don't you browse the other section? There’s a sale going on, and it's quite a bargain."However, the other sales associate, with a round face, quickly fetched a clothes pole, eager to assist Evan. A customer's request to try on clothes was commonplace. Even though the newly appointed Manager Hunt had just signaled not to attend to this particular customer, they were still a patron, and the employee handbook clearly stated that no customer should be neglected."What are y
5 minutes later.Seven or eight burly men pushed open the glass door of H&M, asking crudely, "May I ask if everything here needs to be packed up and moved out?""Packed up and moved out?"Vanessa had gone up to greet them, thinking there were customers she could snatch. But upon hearing this, she was utterly confused, "Who are you people? Our store is operating fine here, why does it need to be packed up and moved?""Oh, my mistake, didn't explain clearly."A dark-skinned brawny man walked out from the group of seven or eight people. He scratched his head and bellowed, "Just now a customer came to find us, asking us to move all the clothes here away. He said he's buying everything in this store."Gasp!As soon as he said this, it shocked everyone present!Not just the sales associates, even the customers on site were stunned motionless."Who is it, who's so generous to buy out the entire store?!""The clothes here are worth over $30 million. Who has so much money to buy everything?""
"Yes!"Hearing the woman say this, the gold-rimmed glasses man swiftly shut her door and sat in the front passenger seat, keeping silent.This was Isaac Robinson, marketing director of Clark Group's apparel department. And the woman was the renowned Chairwoman of Clark Group - Daisy Clark.The very same school belle that Evan had just saved half an hour ago in the hills behind campus!Life really is full of coincidences and surprises everywhere!After marketing director Brian Davis and regional manager Caleb Martin were also seated, Daisy removed her mask. With a stern face she asked, "So what exactly is this complaint about? Tell me the situation!"Caleb Martin quickly took over explaining, "There's a young man called Evan who came to our Lumina City branch to buy clothes. The store manager and a female sales associate looked down on him tremendously. So this Evan made a complaint call.""The situation isn't just that."Marketing director Brian Davis took over, continuing, "This youn
While Daisy and her inspection team rushed over, Scott Hunt had already started defending himself."What grounds do you have to complain about me?"Scott Hunt glanced at the customers in the store, signaling Vanessa to chase them out first. Then he stood before Evan, arguing slyly, "Did I stop you from buying clothes?"Watching customers getting kicked out one by one, Evan naturally knew Scott Hunt's intention - eliminating witnesses!After all, the inspection team wasn't here just to listen to Evan's side. Of course they wouldn't simply believe Scott Hunt either. Relevant evidence would be needed to make a judgment. Now with the witnesses gone, Evan lost a lethal weapon. Speaking of evidence, Evan looked up at the surveillance cameras in the store. He noticed another detail - the indicator lights had stayed off since he entered!Meaning the surveillance system had been manually turned off the moment he stepped foot in the store!This was exactly the same tactic used to frame Evan ba
