Chapter 94 Sudden Change in Wind Direction
[This man reached the maximum level in one day, and this man spent ten million dollars. This man is so rich yet pretends to be poor; he's my idol!]
[Ten million dollars, holy crap! That's enough to buy several houses in a wealthy neighborhood! Impressive! He is a billionaire indeed, no doubt about it!]
In almost the blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the live stream changed dramatically.
Not only did the atmosphere in the livestream change, but the viewers' opinions towards Skyview changed dramatically.
In an instant, Skyview became a legendary tycoon in their eyes!
Suddenly, everyone was in awe of Skyview!
They knew that being able to pay ten million dollars easily meant Skyview must have at least a few hundred million dollars!
Such a wealthy person was worthy of admiration!
In a society where capital reigns supreme, the power of money was just that strong!
Not to mention the ordinary viewers, even the streamers were almost suffocating from shock.
Lucas stared at Skyview's BitBonds count for several minutes.
"Ten million dollars!!!" Lucas felt a bit dizzy and dazed.
"Boring Surf is actually a tycoon, and I dared to offend such a legendary tycoon; I was simply asking for humiliation!" he couldn't help but exclaim.
Stephanie was also dumbfounded with shock.
NeoSeou was a developed country; lots of wealthy families lived there. Stephanie used to think that people in Golden Valley couldn't even afford to eat, that they were very poor and backward.
However, after growing up, Stephanie traveled to Golden Valley and discovered its strength and wealth, realizing that Golden Valley was much richer than NeoSeou. The number of tycoons in Golden Valley also shocked Stephanie.
But Stephanie was still rendered speechless by Skyview.
"Ten million dollars!" she exclaimed.
In NeoSeou, even the richest person didn't have that kind of wealth!
Stephanie suddenly changed her opinion of Skyview.
She didn't know why, but she was moved to tears and wanted to apologize to Skyview.
She felt she might have found true love!
Let's rewind half an hour.
Megon Nelson was a super administrator on the Shark streaming platform.
Megon didn't study well during college, as she was addicted to a dating app at the time. Thus, her social circle was very wide, and she interacted with all kinds of men. The men thought they were sleeping with Megon, but little did they know that in Megon's mind, she was the one profiting for free!
In short, to some people, Megon was a confident and independent modern woman, very fashionable.
But to others, Megon was a complete slut!
But Megon was neither. She was just herself!
During college, Megon was very promiscuous.
Right after graduating, Megon converted to Christianity,
She put on a purity ring and, from then on, kept herself clean, avoiding any special contact with men. However, for physiological reasons, Megon bought a lot of adult toys every year.
Because of some family connections with the Davis family, Megon became a super administrator on the Shark streaming platform. Still, she didn't care much about the job, even sleeping during work hours.
Last night, Megon stayed up late watching a TV series, and today, she was exhausted. She worked for a while before unknowingly falling asleep.
When she woke up groggily, Megon found someone had been trying to contact her.
It was Nova Gaze, the intermediary between her and Stephanie!
What was an intermediary? Let me tell you the whole story.
Because the salary of a super administrator was not high, less than a thousand dollars a month, seeing streamers earning tens of thousands of dollars a month naturally made them extremely unbalanced. Super administrators had some control over the streamers' channels, even having a say in whether streamers got a raise or not.
This led to extorting streamers becoming an unwritten rule among super administrators. If streamers didn't give some money to the super administrators, they couldn't expect to stream smoothly. Not to mention the average small and medium streamers, even Lucas, the top male streamer on Shark, had to obediently give some money to the super administrators without any complaints.
The streaming world was like a semi-entertainment industry, full of unwritten rules, and it was a very corrupt circle.
Extorting streamers was just a common unwritten rule and was not considered excessive. Moreover, super administrators feared that streamers might get angry and report them, so they extorted with caution.
Otherwise, if some scheming streamers planned to report them with evidence, they could end up in jail!
Every super administrator had their "territory," and they could only make money within their territory. Crossing the line would break the rules and lead to being attacked by other super administrators. Megon's territory was the small and medium female streamers, which, although not yielding much money individually, was stable!
"I'm like a not-so-prominent landlord with dozens of properties. This one rents for 500 a month, and that one rents for 1000, which is not enough to get rich but enough to live comfortably!" Megon described herself this way.
But super administrators were not fools; fearing to leave any evidence, they would set up an intermediary. They wouldn't directly ask streamers for money.
The benefits were obtained by the intermediary from the streamers and then given to the super administrators. Some intermediaries took a commission, while others didn't. Many intermediaries were actually wealthy individuals close to the streamers, even covering the streamers' monthly expenses.
For example, Stephanie's monthly expenses were covered by Nova Gaze.
