Chapter 163 - 151: End of the Live Stream (Part 2)

Chapter 163: Chapter 151: End of the Live Stream (Part 2)

...

A stream of scrolling comments flew across Jiu Jin’s broadcast. It started with the four super-whales who owned Level 75 maxed-out accounts, followed by numerous other top-tier tycoons above Level 70.

Every time the words "A bet is a bet" scrolled across the stream, an account’s profile picture would go gray. The scene was truly stunning.

On the yacht, Gu Heng took a deep drag from a Habanos GR.

As he exhaled a cloud of pure white smoke, the image on the screen before him gradually blurred.

A crisp notification sound chimed in his mind, and the system’s holographic screen instantly appeared.

[Challenge Mission: Legend]

[Legendary Level: 100%]

[Congratulations, Host! You have received your rewards: 8-hour Consumption Refund Card, Buff Upgrade Card]

[Would you like to claim your rewards now?]

Gu Heng gazed at the holographic screen that had appeared before him, his eyes looking a little pensive.

In fact, just after the third round had ended, his Legendary Level was still a tiny bit short of 100%.

At that very moment, Desire Emperor conceded defeat and promptly deleted his account.

The stalled Legendary Level began to rise again. Then, as Prince Ning, Qi’an, and the others followed suit, his Legendary Level finally reached 100%.

And so, tonight’s epic showdown became a legend.

It felt like the Chu-Han Contention. If Xiang Yu had chosen to surrender or flee instead of taking his own life at the Wu River, the legend of the Overlord of Western Chu might not have endured to this day.

Without tragedy, there can be no sublimity.

It was precisely the tragic exits of Desire Emperor, Prince Ning, Qi’an, and the others that forged Prince Heng’s eternal legend tonight.

[Host has chosen not to claim the rewards at this time]

[Reward distribution paused. Host, please claim within 48 hours.]

With a flicker of his thoughts, Gu Heng chose not to claim them immediately.

"Come on!"

"Cheers!"

"Let’s drink all night!"

Gu Heng slowly rose from the sofa and raised his glass in a toast to Wang Yan and the others. His handsome, youthful face seemed to be the very picture of high spirits and triumph.

The girls seated around him looked up at Gu Heng, feeling as if his entire body was glowing. The masculine hormones practically radiating from him stirred the most primal desires deep within their hearts.

’So handsome!’

’So manly!’

’I want to sleep with him so bad!’

Yaya looked up at Gu Heng, her eyes practically dripping with desire. The other girls weren’t much better off.

"Cheers!"

"Chairman Gu, you were totally awesome tonight!"

Deng Zhihong, flushed with drink and stumbling slightly, came up to Gu Heng and clinked his glass heavily against his. "Our SSTP Super Car Club group chat is blowing up about you right now. They’re all dying to meet you. When you have time, want to drop by for a visit?"

"Sure."

Gu Heng smiled at Deng Zhihong. "You know, why wait? I’m free tomorrow. I wonder if you are, Brother Hong?"

"I am!"

"I’ll make time!"

Deng Zhihong was thrilled and agreed without a moment’s hesitation.

"Brother Yan just mentioned that your main business is dealing in luxury cars, Brother Hong."

Gu Heng asked, "What brand channels do you have, Brother Hong?"

"He has channels for every brand."

"Whether you want a Bugatti or a Koenigsegg, or any limited edition model that’s already been released, he has his own channels for most of them. For the few he doesn’t, he can still connect you to a reliable source."

Just then, Wang Yan and Gao Zihang walked over, glasses in hand.

Wang Yan smiled and answered Gu Heng’s question.

"The Lamborghini Centenario Roadster you’re driving now? I had him help me buy it. He’s very reliable when it comes to cars."

The men gathered in a circle, with the women forming an outer ring around them.

"Then I’ll drop by your place tomorrow, Brother Hong, and we can talk then."

Gu Heng smiled and nodded.

"Great!"

"Then we’ll talk on the phone tomorrow!"

Deng Zhihong understood Gu Heng’s meaning, but he didn’t say more. Business could wait until tomorrow; tonight was only for pleasure.

The group gathered together, cheerfully downing several more drinks.

"WHOOOO—!"

As the yacht’s horn blew, Sixteen Piers Wharf—once bustling with people, now quiet and deserted—came into view.

"Chairman Gu, Old Wang, it’s about that time."

Deng Zhihong and Gao Zihang raised their eyebrows at Wang Yan and said with a chuckle, "We’ll be heading out first. You guys have fun."

"You too."

Wang Yan’s gaze swept over the girls beside Deng Zhihong and Gao Zihang, and they exchanged knowing smiles.

Amid the laughter, Deng Zhihong and his group prepared to disembark.

Gu Heng took a moment to glance at the other four girls beside him and said suddenly, "There are two guest cabins on the yacht that can sleep four. If you want to stay the night, you can. If not, you can get off with them in a bit."

The four girls, who had been staring at the nearby wharf with disappointed expressions, felt their mood take a rollercoaster ride after hearing Gu Heng’s words. It was an unexpected, welcome turn of events.

"I’ll stay!"

Yaya answered first, without a second thought.

"I’ll stay with you."

Lili pursed her lips, her voice a little softer than Yaya’s.

"We’ll stay too!"

The twin sisters, Shuyue and Shuyu, glanced at each other. This time, the older sister, Shuyue, didn’t hold her back. Instead, she spoke up for her.

"Alright."

Gu Heng gave a slight nod and said nothing more.

It was only to be expected. People are often like that. When they miss one opportunity, they’ll cling desperately to a similar one when it appears before them again.

Five minutes later, the yacht docked smoothly.

Gu Heng’s group had already come down from the flybridge to the main deck. Deng Zhihong, his friends, and the many female influencers were all ready to get off the yacht.

"Chairman Gu, let’s get together again in a couple of days."

Gao Zihang shook Gu Heng’s hand. "If you need anything at all, just give me a call anytime."

"No problem."

Gu Heng replied with a smile.

"Chairman Gu, if you need any cigars in the future..."

"Just one call, and I’ll deliver them to you personally."

After Gao Zihang finished exchanging pleasantries, Oscar also stepped forward to say a few words.

Compared to this afternoon, Oscar’s posture when facing Gu Heng was now much more deferential.

The terrifying financial power Gu Heng had displayed tonight had shaken Oscar to his core.

If he could forge a deep friendship with Gu Heng, his entire family might reap endless benefits in the future.

"That might be a bit far..."

Gu Heng shook Oscar’s hand and replied with a smile.

"No matter how far, I’ll deliver."

Oscar didn’t hesitate for a second, his reply crisp and decisive.

"Alright."

Gu Heng smiled.

Afterward, Deng Zhihong, Su Tianyi, and Zhao Yongtao came forward one after another.

"Bye-bye!"

"Sweet dreams!"

The yacht came to a steady stop at the pier, and Deng Zhihong’s group disembarked in an orderly fashion.

After they had all left, the once-crowded yacht suddenly felt spacious.

At this point, Wang Yan had the influencer Yuanyuan, who had over five million fans, standing beside him. Meanwhile, Gu Heng was surrounded by a full six girls: Yangyang, Bingbing, Lili, Yaya, Shuyue, and Shuyu.

Wang Yan looked at Gu Heng, then at the gaggle of girls behind him, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

’Damn!’

’Little bro, are you trying to imitate Zhao Zilong of Changshan and go for seven rounds tonight?’

’Even if you’re young, that seems like a bit much!’

Wang Yan looked at Gu Heng with a strange expression.

At the same time, his eyes were sending Gu Heng a clear message.

When Gu Heng saw Wang Yan’s look, he knew his friend had gotten the wrong idea.

As confident as he was in his own abilities, he wasn’t *that* arrogant.

Of course...

His motives for asking those four girls to stay weren’t exactly pure.

’If they’re not willing to join a group battle, how about a one-on-one?’

After all, he had carefully chosen Yaya and the others from the crowd of girls tonight. The mood was already set, and it would be a real shame to just let them leave like this.

But he let Wang Yan’s misunderstanding slide. It wasn’t the time or place to explain anything.

"So sleepy, so sleepy."

"I’m going to turn in."

"See you in the morning..."

"Oh wait, no, see you at noon tomorrow!"

Wang Yan put on a show of yawning repeatedly. After this performance for Gu Heng’s benefit, he led Yuanyuan briskly into the master cabin, closing and locking the door behind them in one smooth motion.

After Wang Yan and Yuanyuan left, only Gu Heng and the six girls remained on the main deck, and the scene grew a little quiet.

Before they knew it, the yacht had once again pulled away from Sixteen Piers Wharf and was cruising slowly along the Huangpu River.

Their gazes met, and the corners of Gu Heng’s lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly.

He had a feeling... tonight was going to be very interesting.
