Chapter 31: Not a Single One Can Fight

Li Shurui naturally knew who the fans were referring to when they mentioned the "Tathagata Buddha."

The top of the contribution rankings.

The man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.

But seeking him out at a time like this—how was that any different from begging?

Moreover, there was no guarantee he would even acknowledge her.

The messages she had sent previously had all vanished like stones sinking into the ocean, receiving no response whatsoever.

Li Shurui remained indifferent, but the fans in the livestreaming room were stirred.

In the dormitory, Jiang Chen, who had just finished washing his hair, heard his phone ringing incessantly. While drying his hair with a towel, he picked up the phone from the desk and found that his Starry Sky messages showed 99+.

Opening them, he saw messages from all sorts of different people.

"Big brother, it's an emergency! Come save the day immediately!"

"The little brothers can't hold on much longer, requesting heavy fire support from the boss!"

"Brother Guying, please come help quickly, Shurui is about to lose the PK!" — from "Rich Young Master Who Doesn't Lack Money."

PK?

Out of curiosity, Jiang Chen entered Li Shurui's livestream room, and was immediately met with an unprecedented, enthusiastic welcome!

"Holy crap! The Buddha is here!"

"Haha, I knew Big Brother Hanjiang Guying would definitely come!"

"Boss, hurry up and slaughter all those monkeys over there!"

Seeing the notification that "Hanjiang Guying" had entered the room, a look of intense pleasant surprise flashed in Li Shurui's eyes.

Although losing to Ling Shiqi wasn't embarrassing.

But nobody likes to lose.

Looking at the rapidly scrolling bullet comments and the split-screen livestream, Jiang Chen quickly understood what was happening.

A PK between streamers was much like celebrity popularity rankings; it was a battle of the strength of their respective fan clubs.

He glanced at the current "score" of both sides.

3,596,250 vs. 13,526,300.

Tsk.

That was a crushing defeat.

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Shurui on the left side of the screen and, without a word, tapped directly on the gift interface.

【Hanjiang Guying】 sent 【Carnival】 × 10.

In an instant, the starlight bar in the upper left corner lengthened rapidly, making a fierce comeback.

"Holy shit, that's god-tier!"

"Boss Hanjiang Guying's moves are truly extraordinary!"

"You idiots, tremble!"

Li Shurui's fans felt as if they had found a patron; they were emboldened and incredibly excited, as if injected with adrenaline!

The viewers on Ling Shiqi's side were stunned. Just when they thought victory was in their grasp, who knew a wild card would suddenly charge in?

Ling Shiqi's charming smile also froze slightly.

"Now this is getting interesting. Our bosses, increase the firepower! Keep the output coming!"

Aside from the fans on both sides, there were also spectators watching the spectacle, fanning the flames on both sides.

"Kill him!"

"Pfft! What kind of 'Tathagata Buddha' is this! Trying to show off in front of our Seventeen Alliance? I'll hit you so hard your sarira will fly out!"

As a streamer with a million followers, Ling Shiqi's fan club naturally did not lack wealthy patrons. Previously, because the gap in strength was too large, they had only sent casual gifts for fun, but now that someone had actually stepped up to provoke them, their fighting spirit was instantly ignited.

They were going to start getting serious.

【Always Protecting Seventeen】 sent 【Romantic Carriage】.

【Don't Ask, It Was Love】 sent 【Spaceship】.

【Teddy Raised by a Husky】 sent 【Love's Spinning Circles】 × 10.

...

As one side finished their song, the other took the stage.

Various tycoons crossed the seas, each displaying their unique divine powers.

The ordinary viewers in both livestream rooms were spiritually shaken, watching in awe.

The things being thrown out here were nothing but cold, hard cash.

Seeing her fans exert themselves, Ling Shiqi's smile brightened again.

She realized that this Hanjiang Guying was likely the actual person who had opened a hundred-year protection plan, but he was still just one person.

Two fists are hard to fight against four legs.

Did he really think he could turn the tide single-handedly?

"I love you all!"

Under Ling Shiqi's instigation, her fans became even more spirited, and the gap between the two sides began to widen once more.

Bullying the minority with numbers?

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth curled upward.

If this were a physical brawl, numbers could indeed play a decisive role, but this was not that.

One must know that most of the world's wealth is held by a tiny minority.

【Hanjiang Guying】 sent 【Romantic Carriage】 × 100.

【Hanjiang Guying】 sent 【Spaceship】 × 100.

【Hanjiang Guying】 sent 【Love's Spinning Circles】 × 100.

For a moment, the screen was filled with nothing but carriages running, spaceships flying, and hearts spinning!

It wasn't just the viewers on Li Shurui's side; even the viewers on Ling Shiqi's side were shocked!

While everyone was still reeling, Jiang Chen played dirty.

【Hanjiang Guying】 sent 【Carnival】 × 100.

The two livestream rooms, totaling nearly 150,000 people, fell into dead silence.

Countless people were dumbfounded!

This wasn't a Tathagata Buddha; this was a God of Wealth descending to earth!

Setting aside everything else, one hundred Carnivals represented three million being thrown in!

If you added the other gifts, this big brother had practically thrown in five million in less than three minutes!

His momentum was as fierce as a tiger devouring ten thousand miles!

Everyone's hearts were pounding.

Just who on earth was this Hanjiang Guying?

"Hahaha, a comeback! Big Brother Guying is mighty!!!"

Jiang Chen had turned the tide by himself, and the tycoons on Ling Shiqi's side had all fallen into silence under the intimidation of his unreasonable financial power.

There might be many people in real life who could produce a few million, but people who spend millions on livestream gifts seemed truly rare.

And most importantly.

This guy didn't even seem to blink, as if he weren't throwing away real gold and silver, but mere scraps of paper.

Who the hell would want to fight a madman like this?

"Pfft! What kind of bullshit Seventeen Alliance? Not a single one of them can fight!"

Some fans couldn't contain themselves.

"Ling Shiqi, time's up, you lost! Draw a turtle!"

Zheng Jingjing's breathing was rapid with excitement as she typed.

Ling Shiqi probably hadn't expected to lose; despite her efforts to maintain appearances, her expression was quite unsightly.

"Draw a turtle!"

"Draw a turtle!"

The viewers were not about to show any mercy, and they were eagerly anticipating the scene of a million-follower influencer humiliating herself.

Once she had said it, she certainly couldn't go back on her word; otherwise, even as a million-follower influencer, her reputation would be damaged.

Ling Shiqi was not ignorant of the consequences. Forcing a smile, she used an eyebrow pencil to draw a turtle on her face.

"Hanjiang Guying, what do you think of my drawing?"

She actually began to address Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen ignored her.

Although this girl was quite good—a lolita face with an older sister's temperament—his current goal was Li Shurui.

"Shurui, then see you next time."

Ling Shiqi cut the connection.

"Who exactly is this Hanjiang Guying? Could he be the son of the Hangzhou Ma family?" Zheng Jingjing speculated.

"Why don't you just say he's the son of Wang Sicong?" Guo Ran retorted.

"There are plenty of rich people nowadays; don't think it's just those few families. The truly wealthy families are very low-key."

Xu Siyi looked at Li Shurui, who was sitting in her seat staring blankly at the camera, her heart churning with waves of jealousy.

"Yeah, no matter who he is, Shurui is really hitting the jackpot this time!"

Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran were filled with envy.
