Chapter 22: Disrespecting Mr. Smoke?
VIP Emperor, $18,000 a month.
Actually, it's pretty useless.
It just gave you special entry effects when you join the live room, made your comments stand out, and made you look prestigious. The female streamers would also treat you differently.
Spending $18,000 for a VIP Emperor status just for some attention?
Charles found it a bit ridiculous.
'I heard there are even accountants who, to satisfy their vanity, embezzled company funds to tip female streamers tens of thousands of dollars. That's just dumb.
'If you're really rich, I won't say anything!
'But you are pretending to be rich when you're not?
'In the end, you might end up in jail.' Charles thought.
But Charles was doing this foolish thing right now.
It was just opening the Emperor privilege.
After all, it's not his money.
Special Funds can be spent freely.
[Mia, did you DM me? Let me check!]
Charles sent a comment.
He immediately went to the backstage to check his DMs.
He had quite a few DMs, and it took him a while to find Mia's message.
Inside was Mia's Facebook account.
Charles copied and pasted it and promptly added her as a friend on Facebook.
But after waiting for several minutes, she hadn't accepted.
He went back to the live room.
[Mia, I added you on Facebook, please accept!]
“Okay! Got it, Mr. Smoke!”
Soon, Mia accepted Charles's friend request on Facebook.
[Mia, can I take you out for dinner?]
Charles openly typed in the live room.
“Dinner, huh? I usually have a fan meet-up once a month here in Nuw Yark. Mr. Smoke, where are you from?”
[I'm from Syeattel!]
“Oh! That's not too far. Mr. Smoke, are you coming to see me?”
[No, I don't have time!]
If it was a fan meet-up, there would definitely be a lot of people, and Charles didn't want to join the crowd.
If he goes, it has to be a private meeting.
“Okay! Mr. Smoke, a successful person like you must be very busy. But next month, there's the Shark Live streaming carnival in Syeattel, so there will be a chance to meet!”
[Haha, carnival event, Mia. Are you hinting at Mr. Smoke to send rocket gifts?]
[Every carnival is a money-making day for streamers!]
[Mr. Smoke, you're here. Won't you send a rocket before you leave?]
“Wow, thank you, Brother LonelySmoke, for the Super Rocket!”
“Love you forever!”
Since Charles was sending gifts, he naturally would send more than one.
One Super Rocket was just the beginning.
In a few short minutes, he sent a hundred Super Rockets.
Then he left!
Not because he didn't want to continue, but because his account's virtual currency ran out!
“Damn it, these streaming platforms have such low recharge limits. Every time, I have to recharge multiple times. If only I could recharge a billion dollars at once!”
Charles couldn't help but complain.
Half an hour later, Charles was back online!
This time, he was fully prepared with "ammunition."
But he didn't enter Mia's live streaming room this time.
That was because he found another popular female streamer online!
Sherry, also a dancing streamer.
Sherry, also a dancing streamer, was skilled in classical dance, modern dance, and K-pop dance, and she was cute and had a great figure.
In terms of looks, she might be slightly less attractive than Mia, but she excelled in talent.
Her looks were probably around 8 out of 10, but her talent was a perfect score.
She also had millions of followers.
[Wow, Mr. Smoke, you're not watching Mia, but came to Sherry!]
[Welcome, Mr. Smoke!]
[Welcome, Mr. Smoke!]
[Mr. Smoke, you just sent Mia a hundred Super Rockets. Won't you do something here for Sherry?]
[Mr. Smoke, at least start with a hundred Super Rockets, right?]
[Mr. Smoke, what do you do? Can I work for you?]
As soon as Charles entered Sherry's live streaming room, the comments started to hype up the atmosphere!
The fans in female streamers' live rooms are mostly overlapping.
Many people watch one streamer for a while and then switch to another.
They are basically in a state of flux.
Charles's fame on Shark Live was now greaterthan many streamers'.
“Wow! Mr. Smoke is here, welcome, welcome!”
Sherry immediately welcomed him.
Facing countless comments asking for gifts, Charles didn't say a word.
He just sent one comment.
[Sherry, what's your top contributor's total? I'm here to challenge!]
As soon as this noticeable comment was sent,
the whole live room exploded!
[Wow, Mr. Smoke is starting again!]
[Terrifying, Mr. Smoke, calm down!]
[I just checked, Sherry's top contributor has $2.7 million, and he's a Dragon Emperor. Mr. Smoke, are you going to outdo the Dragon Emperor?]
[The Dragon Emperor is already a level 120 senior member. He owns several talent agencies and is said to be a shareholder of Meta Platforms Inc., with a strong background!]
[Mr. Smoke, if you're just playing around, don't challenge the Dragon Emperor!]
As the live room comments went wild,
A golden rocket launched from the bottom of the screen, officially starting the battle.
First rocket...
Second rocket...
Hundredth rocket...
Thousandth rocket...
Two thousandth rocket...
Five thousandth rocket...
From the first rocket Charles sent, the endless rain of rockets never stopped.
It went on for two hours straight.
Yes, two hours of continuous gifting!
Sherry's live room's popularity soared from 2 million to a staggering 4 billion.
Every viewer in the live room was stunned!
Sherry's mouth was wide open andmotionless as if she had turned to stone.
Eighty percent of the viewers on the Shark Live platform were drawn to Sherry's live room.
[I'm shocked, numb. Mr. Smoke, you're too scary. You've sent over ten thousand Super Rockets??]
[This is outrageous! So awesome!]
[Mr. Smoke, do you have cancer or something? Is that why you're spending all your money?]
[Dad, if you have too much money, give it to me. I can be your son!]
······
While Sherry's live room was going crazy, Mia's live room had sparse comments.
Seeing the endless rocket rain on the global screen, Mia was very jealous.
She began to suspect if she had said something wrong earlier.
Mr. Smoke wanted to ask her out for dinner, but she didn't agree and instead subtly mentioned the fan meet-up.
Because he asked in the live room, if she had directly agreed to a private meeting, it wouldn't look good.
Plus, she had so many fans, mostly 'Honey fans.'
She couldn't agree too blatantly.
But because she didn't agree, Mr. Smoke turned around and sent over ten thousand Super Rockets to Sherry and still hadn't stopped. Sherry might even be trending tomorrow.
Thinking about this, Mia regretted her words even more.
An Ultra-rich Patron like Mr. Smoke can't be treated like an ordinary fan.
Publicly rejecting him was a way of not giving Mr. Smoke a face.
