Chapter 103 The Server Crashed
Stephanie was thrilled because she made a lot of money today, over a hundred thousand! And she didn't even have to sleep with a tycoon to earn it!
Previously, when Stephanie and NovaGaze were privately getting to know each other, although he was very generous, Stephanie still had to serve him in bed, which she found quite enjoyable. But no matter how enjoyable that was, it couldn't compare to how she felt now.
"Thank you, NovaGaze!"
"Thank you, Boring Surf!"
All Stephanie had to do was keep thanking Skyview and NovaGaze.
This way, she could earn even more. It just went to show that in this world, skills weren't important, talent wasn't important, abilities weren't important, and even looks weren't important. Luck was the key.
Countless streamers were envious and jealous of Stephanie, wishing they could take her place.
At this moment, NovaGaze looked at his dwindling BitBonds with a somewhat grim expression.
NovaGaze didn't expect Skyview to be so willing to spend, sending super gifts to Stephanie as if they cost nothing.
Skyview continued to provoke, sending a message.
[NovaGaze, are you chickening out?]
[If you're chickening out, just admit defeat and get out of this stream, and I'll forgive you!]
[Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson with my money!]
Skyview kept provoking, just teasing him.
It's all just a game, a dream.
If NovaGaze took it seriously, he would lose.
Skyview was just having fun messing with NovaGaze.
[I'm not chickening out! Boring Surf, do you think you're the only one with a million dollars? I have it too! I won't admit defeat to you!] NovaGaze completely lost his mind, his eyes red with anger from the taunting messages. He gritted his teeth and recharged another hundred thousand dollars!
Although NovaGaze was a trust fund kid, a hundred thousand dollars was still enough for his annual expenses! He suddenly felt a bit of regret, but it was too late to turn back now, so he had to go all in!
Skyview noticed that NovaGaze had recharged another hundred thousand dollars and felt a bit of regret himself. He thought it wasn't good to provoke him like this.
So Skyview kindly advised, sending a message:[NovaGaze, things on the internet are just virtual. There's no need to keep recharging; it doesn't mean anything.]
But NovaGaze felt that Skyview was mocking him and angrily replied: [I have plenty of money, just not enough cash on hand right now! I'm not poorer than you! Don't mock me. Let's see who has more money!]
Right now, NovaGaze was like a gambler who started off playing casually.
Later, he became irrational, knowing the consequences but ignoring them, his intelligence plummeting.
In the end, it could lead to family bankruptcy!
Such examples were not uncommon.
Seeing that his advice was ineffective, Skyview couldn't be bothered to continue.
He wasn't a good person; he just had a slight sense of empathy. He was filled with various lowbrow interests, loving money and beautiful women.
Since NovaGaze was seeking his own downfall, he would help him along!
[Alright, NovaGaze, I have to say, your foolishness is almost endearing! Fine, let's have a go at it, shall we?] Skyview said.
NovaGaze felt a bit uneasy.
[A thousand super virtual gifts at a time!] Skyview proudly sent a message. [I'll go first!]
A thousand super virtual gifts, that was thirty thousand dollars!
Thirty thousand dollars at a time! This was a game for top-tier super-rich people!
The chat didn't know how to praise Skyview anymore.
They could only marvel.
Just marvel!
Thirty thousand dollars!
In a second-tier city, thirty thousand dollars could buy a house!
Sending a house at a time! If this wasn't a super-rich person, who would be?
NovaGaze suddenly felt less confident.
But then he saw Skyview lightly click the mouse, and a thousand super virtual gifts were sent!
Stephanie's stream had already gone black!
There were too many people, and Shark's servers finally couldn't handle it!
At this moment, the higher-ups at Shark were in a panic.
Kevin was furious, summoning the head of the tech department for a scolding, and angrily said, "What kind of work are you doing in the tech department? Do you still want to work here? If you can't do your job, get out of the company!"
"Do you know how important this is for Shark? Super-rich people competing to see who is richer, and all the money is going into our pockets. Your year-end bonuses are in there, so do your jobs well."
"And this incident has caused a huge stir, even trending on Twitter. The traffic this attracts is extremely important for Shark! You have ten minutes to fix the servers, or you're all fired and don't need to come to work tomorrow!"
Kevin was extremely angry.
And he had every reason to be.
Shark had a super-rich person like Boring Surf. With this super-rich person's influence, the Shark platform could even become profitable and attract a lot of attention! At that point, it wouldn't be Shark begging Penguin Company to acquire them, but Penguin Company begging to buy Shark. Then, Shark would have the upper hand. And once acquired by Penguin Company, a multi-billion-dollar company, Shark could smoothly become a publicly traded company!
Once listed, Kevin and Hilda would see their net worth soar, becoming big names in the internet industry.
At such a critical moment, the servers couldn't handle the load, which was unacceptable to Kevin!
While the Shark platform's tech team started repairing the servers, Kevin took the opportunity to call Lucas. Kevin needed to properly guide Lucas and get him to praise Boring Surf; he had to praise him!
