How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 80

Don’t Back Down, Keep Spending

Yang Chen’s inbox was flooded with messages, and Sun Xiaoxun’s messages were quickly buried.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhenyi was getting anxious as she watched herself fall far behind Sun Xiaoxun, with no big spenders appearing to support her.

However, when Immortal Star suddenly started sending her gifts, she immediately smiled happily.

But then, she became puzzled.

Isn’t Immortal Star the top spender on the other side?

Why is he suddenly sending her gifts?

“Thank you for the Super Fire [a type of virtual gift], Star. Can I ask why you suddenly sent me gifts? Aren’t you the top spender on the other side?” Zhou Zhenyi asked.

She truly lived up to her ID; she wouldn’t be Zhou Zhenyi if she wasn’t so clueless.

She hadn’t figured out such a simple relationship.

Immortal Star: “What do you usually do during your streams? Sing, dance, or play games?”

Zhou Zhenyi quickly replied, “I mainly sing and chat, and occasionally play games, but I’m really bad at them. I can’t play League of Legends well, so I only play King of Glory [a popular mobile game]. What does Star like?”

Immortal Star: “Then sing. Sing ‘Lone Brave’ [a popular and emotionally resonant song]. As long as you keep singing, the Super Fires will keep coming.”

Zhou Zhenyi: “Okay, okay, I’ll sing it for you right away.”

At this moment, Zhou Zhenyi only wanted to please this generous benefactor and no longer cared why he suddenly started sending her gifts.

Live stream comments:

“Damn! Are the rich *dalaos* [big bosses/influencers] so capricious these days? They don’t even know what the streamer does, yet they’re so willing to spend?”

“Holy crap! It’s already 120 consecutive Super Fires, and it’s still going. How many Super Fires is he going to send!”

“Star *dalao*, what do you do? Didn’t you spend over 2 million on the other side yesterday? Why are you giving gifts to Sister Zhou today?”

“Could it be that they didn’t duel you offline, so you’re angry? So you’re deliberately helping her opponent?”

“Star *dalao*, are you a kid? Why are you so obsessed with ‘Lone Brave’?”

…

Zhou Zhenyi had already started the accompaniment and then began to sing “Lone Brave.”

“All, are brave…”

On the other side, in Sun Xiaoxun’s live stream.

Comments:

“Xiaoxun, you see, you don’t know how to behave. You never sang ‘Lone Brave’ for Star *dalao*, so he left.”

“The other side knows how to behave. As soon as Star *dalao* made a request, she immediately fulfilled it. It’s just a song. If you were a bit smarter, you would have sung it last night. Now you regret it.”

“Mr. Yan, it’s up to you! If Xiaoxun loses, the other side might make her compensate Star *dalao* with an offline duel.”

“I get it! I suddenly understand why Star *dalao* went to the other side. He’s helping them win, then he’ll have them order Xiaoxun to give Star *dalao* a free kill offline. This is a big game.”

…

Sun Xiaoxun read the comments and suddenly felt they made a lot of sense.

So, she sent another private message to Immortal Star.

“Star *ge* [older brother, term of endearment], I’ll come find you after the stream. It’s hot, can you get me an iced juice? Please don’t send her any more gifts, okay?”

Iced juice, highlight.

But Yang Chen didn’t read private messages at all, so sending ten thousand messages would be useless.

Soon, Zhou Zhenyi finished singing “Lone Brave” and quickly asked, “Star *ge*, what else do you want to hear?

What else do you want to hear?

Immortal Star: “Weren’t you very good at flirting at the Bulgari just now? Flirt a little more for me to see.”

Zhou Zhenyi immediately understood and said with surprise, “So it’s you! I thought you were lying to me! You’re Star *ge*!”

Comments:

“What’s going on? They went to the Bulgari Hotel?”

“Sister Zhou is giving out warmth offline [meeting up in person]?”

“It’s not just warmth, it’s definitely first blood [sexual encounter]. Otherwise, if you were Star *dalao*, would you be so willing to give her gifts?”

…

Zhou Zhenyi: “Oh, don’t talk nonsense. I went out to film some material tonight and happened to meet Star *dalao* at the Bulgari Hotel. He was the one who asked me to PK [player kill/compete] with the other side and guaranteed that I would win. I thought he was a liar because no one was sending big gifts. I didn’t expect him to be Star *ge*. I’m so happy. I’ll quietly tell you, Star *dalao* is young and handsome. He drinks Romanée-Conti that costs 128,000 yuan a bottle, and he orders two bottles at a time.”

Comments:

“Damn! He really is a *shenhao* [tycoon/extremely rich person].”

“My god, drinking wine that costs 128,000 yuan a bottle, and ordering two bottles at a time, you wouldn’t dare to do that unless you have billions in assets.”

“So, Star *dalao* is giving you gifts just because you asked him to film some material?”

“Are the rich so capricious? Just for appearing on camera, they’re so willing to spend money!”

…

Zhou Zhenyi: “No, that’s not it. Actually, Star *ge* went on a blind date with the other side, but the other side brought ‘Lonely Time Smoker’ [likely a nickname for someone], so Star *ge* didn’t go on the blind date with her. I guess he wanted to teach the other side a lesson, so he asked me to step in. I’m actually curious, Star *ge* is young and handsome, why didn’t she want him and instead wanted a bald, greasy uncle? What do you think she was thinking?”

Comments:

“Damn! Is it that explosive? Star *dalao* went on a blind date with the other side’s streamer?”

“Does such a *shenhao* need to go on blind dates? I don’t believe it.”

“It’s getting more and more confusing. Star *dalao* gave gifts to the other side, then went on a blind date at night, but the other side brought her second-in-command, so Star *dalao* got angry and used Sister Zhou to teach the other side a lesson?”

“Isn’t it obvious enough? Star *dalao* and the other side’s streamer hadn’t met before. The other side’s streamer didn’t know he was Star *dalao* and thought he was a poor guy, so she looked down on him.”

…

Zhou Zhenyi: “To be honest, I don’t really understand either. I’m just a small streamer. When I meet a *dalao* like Star *ge*, I’ll do whatever he says.”

When Sun Xiaoxun heard that the person who went on a blind date with her last night was Immortal Star, she was completely dumbfounded.

In that case, she might have missed out on a hundred million, or even several hundred million.

Comments:

“Xiaoxun, you went on a blind date with Star *dalao* and brought Mr. Yan with you?”

“What’s wrong with your brain? You must be an idiot. If you had any brains at all, how could you do such a brain-dead thing?”

“Star *dalao*, who gave you over two million in one go, is handsome and young, and you don’t want him, but you want a bald uncle?”

…

Sun Xiaoxun was filled with regret.

She felt that Star *dalao* gave her gifts in advance and arranged a blind date with her the next day because he must have taken a liking to her.

As long as she behaved a little better,

they would definitely have become a couple.

If she became Star *dalao*’s wife, would she still need to coax these losers to give her gifts every day?

Ugh, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got.

But!

Wait!

Didn’t her mother say he was just an ordinary company employee?

How could an ordinary white-collar worker be so rich?

Before Immortal Star came, the value of Zhou Zhenyi’s gifts was about 3,200 yuan.

Now, the value of her gifts has exceeded 7 million, and Immortal Star is still sending Super Fires.

There’s no way this could be the wealth of an ordinary company white-collar worker!

So, his aunt deliberately hid his true identity from my mother?

“Lonely Time Smoker” couldn’t hold on any longer and quickly sent a private message to Yang Chen.

“Bro, we don’t need to do this for a woman! Let’s stop, I’ll let you win by a few thousand yuan, I’ll give you face. I’ll allow you to take her out to play for a few days, then you can return her to me. You’re young, handsome, and rich, so you definitely don’t lack girls, and you definitely won’t be with her for the long term. You can return her to me after you’re done playing, I won’t mind. Okay? Or you can come to room 1206 of the Bulgari Hotel right now, and I’ll let you play with her immediately. Okay?”

Damn it, only a fool like him would actually spend so much real money to give gifts to a female streamer.

Yang Chen was trying to withdraw virtual currency, so he found an opponent to compete with in giving gifts.

Immortal Star: “Bro, didn’t you say you brought 10 million? Spend it all. I can give you time, you can continue to raise money, and we can continue to compete. If you don’t continue to spend, I’ll expose the private messages you sent me to everyone. Then you’ll have spent a lot of money, but all you’ll get is everyone’s ridicule, and that would be too miserable.”
