Chapter 728 - 321: Good, Good, Good, Today I’ll Make You Unable to Hold Your Heads High

Who the hell was this? So arrogant?

But seeing that she was on a level 71 account, she did seem to have some real power.

But going head-to-head against three streamers and the guilds behind them was still going to be tough.

But...

However, viewers who had seen the last PK battle were incredibly familiar with this ID.

Because the moment "Sister Yang" entered the last PK battle, she immediately dropped 10 million, raising a brand new account to level 71.

’That’s right, how could we have forgotten about Sister Yang!’

Chen Xin’s die-hard fans reacted at once, flooding the screen with comments.

"Sister Yang is a badass!"

"Welcome back, Sister Yang! Crush them!"

"The real whale has entered the fray."

"To our opponents: the real show is just getting started!"

As if on cue with the chat, the "Sister Yang" ID started spamming Golden Carnivals.

No one could see exactly how many she sent, but they could see their streamer’s health bar surging, completely overwhelming the other side.

The expressions of the three opposing streamers turned ugly, and the whales backing them were growing reluctant.

By now, each of them had already thrown in several million.

The grand total was nearly 50 million!

Ganging up three-on-one against a newcomer was a bit dishonorable, but wouldn’t it be even more humiliating to lose anyway?

Between looking bad and looking even worse, they had chosen the former.

Just as they thought their opponent was about to run out of steam and lose the match, another level 71 whale had appeared.

Judging by her arrogant tone, it seemed she had been waiting for this very moment.

She completely disregarded them.

The whales grew more alarmed as the battle raged on, hesitating and preparing to back down.

Their money didn’t grow on trees; once they exceeded their mental spending limit, they’d feel the sting too.

One of the three, a female streamer, was from the top guild, Wuyou Media.

As the whales began to pull out, the guild’s boss, after a moment of hesitation, decided to throw in another 20 million to secure the win!

Though it pained him to spend the money, if they won this battle, then tomorrow’s headlines, trending topics, and countless highlight clips would all feature tonight’s epic showdown.

And Wuyou Media would go viral, cementing its name and status as the number one guild.

It was a nice thought, but after they frantically threw in 20 million in the final minute, they discovered their streamer’s health bar wasn’t rising—it was falling.

When the time was up, their health bar was down to a mere third.

Between the three streamers, their side had spent over 70 million!

But they still lost.

And they lost miserably.

No one could quite believe what they were seeing!

But when everyone saw the "Sister Yang" ID shoot straight to Max Level, they finally understood just how terrifyingly powerful she was.

Level 75 cost 20 million.

But her spending had to be more than that, otherwise she couldn’t have won.

A savvy netizen quickly tabbed out to check Chen Xin’s total ranking points and was immediately dumbfounded.

First in her region!

First in the entire country!

A hundred million spent in a single PK battle!

Chen Xin’s score left everyone in the dust, lapping the nationwide second-place holder by so much they couldn’t even see her taillights.

And as it happened, the person in second place nationwide was one of the losers in this very stream.

Just how loaded could someone be!

They had shattered the record for the platform’s annual event!

All the netizens felt that tonight’s PK had been well worth their time—it was a spectacular battle for the ages!

After seeing Chen Xin’s stats, the three opposing streamers, their whales, and the guild felt no bitterness whatsoever. They accepted their loss completely and wholeheartedly.

They truly couldn’t afford to mess with a monster who would drop a hundred million on a single PK battle.

This was probably some tycoon, bored and looking for a bit of fun, who decided to amuse himself by utterly dominating them from a higher plane of existence.

And to think, at the beginning, they had dismissed their opponent as some arrogant clown who didn’t know there was always a bigger fish in the sea.

Who knew that they were the real clowns all along!

The three streamers awkwardly asked Chen Xin what she wanted their punishment to be.

Chen Xin thought for a moment, recalling that Xu Yun had said he wanted to flex.

’Yes, I have to help him.’

’But I definitely can’t use his real name!’

’I’ll just use his screen name!’

So, she told them, "Each of you just needs to say to your viewers, ’Young Master Xu is a real badass!’"

Upon hearing this, the three streamers began to chant.

"Young Master Xu is a real badass!"

"Young Master Xu is a real badass!"

"Young Master Xu is a real badass!"

The three streamers might not have known the name "Young Master Xu," but many of the web-surfing netizens in the audience certainly did.

Immediately, a huge wave of comments flooded the screen.

"Holy shit, the mysterious whale is Young Master Xu!"

"So the streamer is Young Master Xu’s girlfriend!"

"No wonder it was so insane!"

"I get it now! The streamer writes novels about super-rich protagonists... She’s just writing about her own damn life!"

"Young Master Xu, I love you!"

"..."

Seeing the chat’s reaction, the three opposing streamers grew curious and immediately searched for "Young Master Xu" online.

Soon, news articles about him started popping up.

Things like the "Eastern Airlines" incident, the "sky-high price auction" incident, the "miracle doctor on the highway" incident, and more.

Each and every story was a testament to how incredible he was.

The most crucial part was his mystery.

To this day, no one online knew his true identity, and there was no personal information or photos of him to be found.

Some said he was a "princeling," while others claimed he was the heir to some top-tier wealthy family.

In any case, the rumors were all over the place.

After the PK battle ended, Xu Yun didn’t look at the stream comments.

Listening to Chen Xin’s punishment and the three resulting chants of "badass," he was cringing with embarrassment there in Yang Siqi’s office.

’That’s one way to do it, I guess?’

Not only that, but Chen Xin had just sent him a message to claim credit for her good work.

"See? They’re all praising you for being a badass."

’This silly woman, she’s so adorably dumb!’

Xu Yun shook his head. When he saw Yang Siqi giving him a meaningful look, he couldn’t help but laugh first.

Seeing this, Yang Siqi couldn’t help but laugh along with him.

Her smile was utterly bewitching.

Xu Yun’s heart skipped a beat.

Tonight was destined to be a wonderful night.

He walked straight toward Yang Siqi, wrapped his arms around her, and prepared to discuss a "software-to-hardware" project with her right then and there.

「The next day.」

The events of the previous night began to ferment online. Desperate for traffic, major news outlets churned out reports with sensational, eye-catching headlines.

Highlight clips of the PK battle were also flying all over the platform.

Before noon, news about him had already shot to the top of the trending lists on every major social media platform!

The mysterious "Young Master Xu" had once again appeared on the public’s radar.

He had spent a hundred million to put his streamer girlfriend on top of the world!

Since "Young Master Xu" was too mysterious and generally unapproachable,

Chen Xin, as his one known girlfriend, instantly blew up in popularity, with everyone rushing to follow her.

By following her, they thought, they might learn more about "Young Master Xu."

In a single night, her short-form video account’s follower count shot past 13 million, making her a streamer with tens of millions of fans.

Even the burner account Xu Yun had used for the spending spree gained several million followers.

Yang Siqi’s "Sister Yang" account got the same treatment, also gaining a few million followers.

Fortunately, Chen Xin always wore a mask during her streams and never revealed her face, so no one knew her real identity.

Otherwise, her daily life would have been completely disrupted.

Aside from the top trending story, another major event was also going viral among netizens.

Apparently, at Jiang University’s anniversary celebration, a mysterious and distinguished alumnus with the surname Xu had donated 1.5 billion to the school, surpassing the previous record holder, Leibus!

There was even video from the on-campus event.

As soon as people heard the surname Xu attached to such an incredible feat, they naturally connected the dots to the mysterious "Young Master Xu."

But when everyone clicked on the video, hoping to get a look at the man himself, they discovered he hadn’t shown up in person, sending a representative in his place.

This only made everyone more convinced, or at least suspicious, that this distinguished alumnus named "Xu Yun" might actually be the mysterious "Young Master Xu"!

For the sake of traffic, some tech content creators even started making analysis videos about it!

Others went straight to Chen Xin’s account and slid into her DMs to ask.

After all, she was "Young Master Xu’s" girlfriend!

Meanwhile, the star of all these trending topics, Xu Yun, had turned off his phone and was still sleeping soundly.

He had overindulged again last night.
