Chapter 93 The Birth of a Super Rich
No one believed Skyview was a trust fund boy, let alone a billionaire!
If Skyview had claimed to be a millionaire, some might have believed it. But a billionaire? That was too exaggerated! Such a claim surpassed most people's imagination, so naturally, no one believed it.
Lucas and Stephanie didn't believe it, and none of the viewers in the livestream did.
Skyview was indeed a billionaire and owned a Fortune 500 company.
However, the viewers not only didn't believe Skyview but also treated him as a joke.
In their common sense, a billionaire wouldn't come to the Shark platform or watch live streams.
Skyview sneered and sent a message in the chat.
[It looks like you all doubt my identity. That's fine, I will convince you.]
[I am a genuine billionaire, a trust fund boy, and I have plenty of money!]
Lucas also sneered and sent a message.
[If you're a billionaire, then top up!]
[I bet you can't even top up a thousand dollars!]
Skyview held back his laughter and replied.
[Lucas, you think I am not as wealthy as you, right? How about we make a bet?]
[If I can top up a thousand dollars, what will you do?]
Lucas hesitated for a moment and replied: [A thousand dollars is affordable for anyone. You might be able to do that by selling your assets! How about this: if you can top up two hundred thousand BitBonds within an hour, I'll admit defeat. How about that?]
Skyview replied: [Deal!]
Lucas added: [If you can't top up, then fuck off. Never show up in this live room again!]
Skyview said: [Deal!]
As the bet between Skyview and Lucas was established, the chat exploded.
[Nonsense, Mr. Banks can't lose! Even selling his house wouldn't be enough to top up two hundred thousand in an hour!]
[Is it possible that this Boring Surf is actually a hidden tycoon?]
[Impossible! If he really is a hidden tycoon, I'll be a god!]
The chat was buzzing with discussions.
As Stephanie's livestream had now become the center of attention on the entire Shark platform, Lucas also received a call from his girlfriend.
"What if he really tops up two hundred thousand?" Charles angrily asked.
Lucas smiled slightly and said, "Charles, I'm not an idiot. I've already confirmed with Caleb Flores that "Boring Surf" is just a janitor at an advertising company in real life. He earns two thousand dollars a month; there's no way he can come up with two hundred thousand."
Charles breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Caleb, a hacker Lucas knew, who was mainly responsible for providing Lucas with some gaming tech assistance, essentially cheating techniques.
This was also Lucas' last resort. Lucas was getting older, and his gaming skills were not what they used to be. He could still manage in "League of Legends," but "League of Legends" was declining, and now it was the era of PUBG.
To ride the wave of PUBG, Lucas transformed into a PUBG streamer. However, PUBG is a shooting game, and Lucas' skills are lacking. To achieve the desired show effect, Lucas had to rely on tech assistance.
However, the game company easily detected common cheats, which could lead to a significant drop in his popularity. So, Lucas spared no expense to hire an experienced hacker, Caleb, as a "technical advisor" to create some undetectable cheats for him. With Caleb's skills, finding out a netizen's real identity was a piece of cake.
"You handle things carefully," Charles praised Lucas and then went off to do something else.
After hanging up, Lucas suddenly noticed a burst of golden light in Stephanie's livestream. The special effects were quite exaggerated. Lucas was shocked.
Someone had reached the max level!
The max level on Shark was 120, and leveling up required spending money. To reach level 120, one needed to accumulate five million dollars in top-ups on Shark.
Every level 120 user was a VIP on the Shark platform!
Someone reaching level 120 was already surprising. But what shocked Lucas even more was that the person who reached level 120 was Boring Surf!
Lucas was speechless for a long time. The viewers in the live stream were also shocked, typing furiously, almost crashing Shark's servers.
When someone reached level 120, the special effect covered the entire Shark platform, attracting many to Stephanie's live stream.
[Reaching max level in one day, that's incredible!]
[How many BitBonds did Boring Surf top up?]
[Ten million BitBonds! He topped up ten million BitBonds! This... this... this is unbelievable!]
