Chapter 357 Work at Wish Group
Space Battleship was the most prestigious gift on the streaming platform, and the first one ever given.
A $100,000 super rocket gift was already rare, but a space battleship gift had never been sent since the platform's inception.
A space battleship gift cost a whopping $10 million, equivalent to a hundred super rockets. Who could afford that?
Its existence was a spur-of-the-moment design by the developers, purely for promotional hype.
Neither the streamers, viewers, nor platform staff had ever seen a live space battleship gift, leading many to forget it even existed.
So when James sent a space battleship gift, everyone was stunned.
Coralie lost her composure, screaming and running around, not caring about her appearance.
[Is this a space battleship gift?]
[This is really a space battleship gift, worth $10 million.]
[Oh my God, $10 million, that's insane, so rich.]
[Looks like that Little Doctor from Rosewood City wasn't offline earlier, but recharging. It must have taken at least ten minutes to load $10 million.]
[Doctor, doctor, I love you.]
After a brief silence, the entire Cloud Sound live room erupted with excitement, with overwhelming comments.
James's inbox was flooded with messages from countless viewers and streamers.
The platform seized the opportunity to push notifications like crazy.
In no time, the Little Doctor from Rosewood City became the center of attention.
His brilliance overshadowed Vance and Coralie.
[Glowing OasisVance, it's your turn!]
The show wasn't over. After basking in the glory, James sent out a challenge.
All eyes were on Glowing OasisVance.
At that moment, Glowing OasisVance was silent!
Continuing would mean another $10 million. Except for top-tier billionaires, anyone would hesitate to throw out $10 million.
That was also Glowing OasisVance's annual income.
But if he didn't send it, he'd lose face today.
Glowing OasisVance was sweating bullets, his hands trembling.
In his mind, he never lacked money, but now he felt utterly exhausted.
James seemed to have endless money.
[Come on, Glowing OasisVance, this is just the beginning.]
James pressed on. [Weren't you trying to make me submit? I've outdone you now, fight back.]
[We have tens of thousands of witnesses. Whoever backs down first is a loser and has to eat dirt live.]
James mercilessly taunted, [What? Out of money? When did Glowing OasisVance become so poor? Can't even come up with $10 million?]
Glowing OasisVance gritted his teeth, wishing he could strangle James through the internet.
Backing down would not only bring ridicule from the entire internet, but the account that had sent millions would also be too embarrassed to use.
[Out of money?] James taunted, [Fine, I'll give you a break. You don't have to outdo me, just send one dollar more, and I'll admit defeat.]
Glowing OasisVance fumed. [Don't push me.]
[So what if I push you?] James sneered, [If you don't like it, keep sending.]
[Send it, send it, Mr. Murphy, outshine the Little Doctor.]
[Yeah, it's just $10 million, like buying a house. Outshine him.]
[Money is a small matter, reputation is big. If you don't send it today, you'll be too embarrassed to show your face tomorrow.]
The viewers, realizing what was happening, started jeering, mocking Glowing OasisVance for losing face.
Some even told him to call James "grandpa."
Glowing OasisVance's eyes burned with rage, but he didn't dare explode, nor did he dare send $10 million.
He lost!
Glowing OasisVance felt stifled but forced a cold laugh for the sake of face.
[Sending over $10 million for a streamer, that's crazy.]
As soon as he said that, countless viewers mocked him. If $10 million was crazy, what about the $2 million he had just sent?
"$10 million is just three days' interest for me, no big deal."
James had $20 billion in cash, earning at least $1 billion in interest annually, averaging over $8 million a month.
$10 million was indeed three days' interest.
"Get lost, you loser without $10 million. I don't need you."
"Don't be an eyesore."
James used his newly acquired privileges to kick Glowing OasisVance out.
"Little Doctor rules! Little Doctor rules!"
The room erupted in cheers, and the name "Little Doctor from Rosewood City" quickly spread across the platform and the streaming world.
As Coralie's sweet voice filled the air, James smiled and logged off.
"Dad, Mom, I struck it rich, I struck it rich!"
As James took a sip of water, Coralie burst out of her room, pulling Bruce and Marigold, shouting excitedly.
"I just streamed, and someone tipped over $10 million!"
"In that half hour, I can at least get $4 million!"
"Money isn't important. I have a wealthy supporter now. I'm going to be famous!"
Coralie jumped around, recounting the events to Bruce and Marigold, her eyes sparkling with excitement, feeling like she was about to become a star.
"What? Someone tipped you $10 million?"
"Oh my God, who is this generous person?"
"I always knew my Coralie was not only beautiful but also talented. Just casually streaming and getting such attention."
Bruce and Marigold were overjoyed, showering Coralie with praise.
Bruce nodded slightly, then cautioned, "It's good to have support, but don't lose yourself. We don't lack money."
He had seen too many streamers sell themselves for gifts and hoped Coralie wouldn't go too far.
"Come on, we don't lack money? You work yourself to the bone for $3 million a year." Marigold was proud of Coralie. "Coralie made $4 million in half an hour. Can you compare?"
"James, look, this is what capability and wealth look like." Marigold, still elated, turned to James and scoffed. "Coralie made $4 million in half an hour, $4 million!"
"Your parents, and you combined couldn't make $4 million in a lifetime."
"Do you see the gap between you and Coralie?"
"Stop dreaming about the impossible."
Marigold had always opposed Bruce's attempts to match Coralie with James. Now that Coralie was successful, she looked down on James even more.
"How can you talk like that?" Bruce scolded Marigold. "What impossible? How can you say that?"
"Besides, just because James isn't successful now doesn't mean he won't be in the future."
"James, don't go back to Rosewood City. My company is busy, dealing with Mystic Alliance daily."
"I need an assistant. Come help me. The pay isn't much, $10,000 to start."
Bruce invited James to his company. "Do well, and I'll give you a commission."
"What are you doing?" Before James could respond, Marigold's face turned cold.
"What do you mean, going to your company for $10,000? Are you rich now?"
"James's skills and level, what can he do as an assistant for $10,000?"
"And didn't you say no relatives in the company? Not even my brother and nephew. Now you want James?"
"I tell you, I won't allow it."
If James joined Bruce's company, saw the high salary and benefits, and refused to leave or demanded shares, it would be trouble.
Bruce's voice deepened. "I allow it."
James could only helplessly try to mediate. "Don't argue."
"Mom, Dad, how about this..." Having received over $10 million in tips, Coralie stepped in to take charge. "James going to Dad's company isn't appropriate. Dad said no relatives, and James would break the rule."
"But James is unfamiliar with the area and finding a job is tough."
"How about I introduce him to work at Wish Group?"
