Chapter 96 Bullet Screen Praise
Upon hearing Megon's words, Nova Gaze instinctively opened Shark's live stream and entered Stephanie's channel. As soon as he entered Stephanie's live stream, his high-end phone started lagging badly. It was because Stephanie's live room was flooded with comments at that moment!
The comments kept pouring in, with thousands flashing by every second. The dense barrage of comments completely obscured Stephanie's face—there were only comments! Big and small comments! Colorful comments! Flashy comments! Endless comments! Stephanie's previously not-so-popular live stream had now become a sea of comments, a sight to behold!
To be honest, the fact that Shark's servers could miraculously hold up was an Internet industry miracle!
[Number one tycoon!]
[The Internet's number one tycoon!]
[We love you!]
These comments were shamelessly flattering to the extreme.
It seemed exaggerated, but it wasn't surprising. In this era, money was everything! This was a twisted era where human values had been hijacked by capital, and all people saw was money. Even a scam without any real money could turn people against their loved ones, leaving them dazed and crazed, unable to extricate themselves. This was the societal commentary that Nova Gaze was witnessing, a stark reflection of our times.
Let alone the genuine massive wealth in front of them, people could only flatter and fawn! Materialism had never been so rampant! In this era, the wealthy could live in luxury and do whatever they wanted! The happiness of the rich was beyond the imagination of ordinary people!
But the poor had to be frugal, and poverty brought many misfortunes—endless mortgage and car payments, buying baby formula, raising children, supporting parents—the pressure on men was immense! The greater the wealth gap, the more intense the worship of money. This stark disparity was a bitter truth that Nova Gaze couldn't ignore.
In today's society, 1% of the wealthy controlled more than 50% of the wealth. People like Skyview could easily make tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of dollars from a single business deal.
Meanwhile, an ordinary worker earning $10,000 a month was already considered well-paid, but their lifetime accumulated wealth couldn't compare to Skyview's. The stark contrast between the two ends of the wealth spectrum was a harsh reality of the twisted era they lived in.
In real life, people might be more reserved and conservative, not openly flattering the rich for the sake of their ridiculous pride.
But the Internet amplified human nature—every good deed was magnified tenfold, and every evil deed was also magnified tenfold. On the Internet, many people had no self-respect. Many netizens shamelessly flattered the wealthy, and the power of money could distort human nature, making countless people chase after it.
Skyview, having been in society for so many years, had long expected the flattery after recharging ten million dollars. Such an unprecedented move would likely cause a sensation across the internet.
Ten million dollars was not a small amount; for a country, it could bring significant economic benefits and many project investments. During the financial crisis, the government invested in infrastructure, and even with the devaluation of the dollar, only a few tens of millions were spent. For a country, tens of millions could change the economic landscape.
Ten million dollars. Skyview felt pity for those flattering him; these people had no character, criticizing him one moment and flattering him the next. How shameless! But then again, being flattered felt quite good, and Skyview was enjoying it.
"Too bad; in a few days, when they find out they flattered a fake tycoon, will they get really angry?" Skyview thought, revealing a mischievous smile.
Skyview was never a good person, let alone a noble one, filled with all sorts of perverse interests. This time, using illegal technology to fake a ten-million-dollar recharge, Skyview decided to put on a good show and leave a lasting impression on the internet.
"What is this?"
"Ten million dollars!"
Nova Gaze looked at the number of BitBonds recharged by Boring Surf, utterly shocked! Even though he had seen many big scenes in the streaming world and had even chatted and laughed with the richest man's son, Oliver Taylor, he was still stunned by Skyview's move!
'This was ten million dollars!' he exclaimed inwardly.
Ordinary people might not grasp the concept of ten million dollars, but Nova Gaze understood it very well. As someone from a wealthy family, he considered himself rich too! He had spent a total of a million dollars on gifts for female streamers and games over the years!
But ten million dollars at once was simply unrealistic for him.
