Chapter 82: Enough Playing
Chapter 82: Enough Playing
Gao Jing hadn’t played on Surffish for a long time.
Lately, he’d been absorbed in cultivation, wishing he could use every single minute solely for training.
If it weren’t for gathering more Power of Faith this time, he wouldn’t have come back.
He topped up his Fish Fin balance, loading enough ammunition.
He pulled out his follow list and entered the stream channel of “Mu Yu” in the Performance Zone.
He wanted to see how this streamer, who had contributed him quite a bit of Power of Faith, was getting along these days.
It was the peak of evening. Mu Yu was streaming live in her channel.
And she was in a PK battle with another streamer!
Surffish was the earliest video platform to introduce streamer battles, and by now, it had developed a thorough system.
Every signed streamer got three PK missions per month.
Failure meant points would be deducted.
Of course, streamers could also start PKs themselves.
Winning these battles earned points, which they could exchange for platform promotion resources.
This kind of play greatly intensified competition among streamers while also bringing in more traffic and profits for the platform.
It was just a bit harsh for the weaker streamers.
Like Mu Yu at this moment, already completely crushed by her opponent.
Their PK scores were 629:10700.
The challenger’s score came first.
Mu Yu didn’t even have an eighth of the opponent’s score. Clearly a one-sided victim.
She was forcing a smile.
Actually, back when Gao Jing used to play Surffish, seeing a streamer PK battle made him quit immediately.
He didn’t want to watch, nor would he.
Found it very boring.
But today was different.
“Welcome, Brother G!”
Seeing Gao Jing’s ID pop up in her stream, Mu Yu instantly acted like a drowning person grabbing onto a life raft.
Her gloomy face suddenly lit up—genuine joy replaced her forced smile!
“Good evening, Brother G!”
Mu Yu never forgot the day Gao Jing blasted 5 super rockets consecutively on her stream.
Letting her taste soaring popularity for the first time.
Even though it was just temporary buzziness.
But ever since then, Gao Jing had vanished from her stream.
All her messages to G93 vanished without a reply.
Seeing Gao Jing again now, she almost burst into tears.
Life was too tough.
“Hmm.”
Gao Jing typed back a single word.
And clicked the mouse.
Tap tap tap tap tap!
[G93 gifted Mu Yu 5 Super Rockets. Come grab the treasure chest!~~~]
Straightaway, 5 super rockets blasted off.
Multicolored lighting effects exploded across the stream. Fish roe minnow spammers flooded in instantly, and the chat went wild.
“Big boss 666 !!!”
“Insane!”
“Hit us with more! Orly G”
“Bowin’ to the boss!”
“That’s crazy…”
Mu Yu stammered out of sheer happiness: “Th-thanks Big Brother G! Thank you!”
10629:10705
1 super rocket equaled 2000 Fish Fin, so 5 was 10,000 Fish Fin.
Gao Jing had just handed Mu Yu 10,000 PK points.
He glanced at their scores. Just a bit more.
Kept clicking the mouse.
Tap tap tap tap tap!
The crisp sound of utter disregard for money.
[G93 gifted Mu Yu 5 Super Rockets. Come grab the treasure chest!~~~]
Another 5 blasts!
20629:10705 — the PK scores flipped instantly.
Massively behind became massively dominating!
The opponent streamer’s face turned green.
When Gao Jing first appeared, she thought she had it locked down, endlessly thanking her own “big bosses” for supporting her.
Cutesy, flirty, and pleased as punch.
Only to now feel like plummeting straight from the clouds.
Crashing hard onto the muddy ground below.
Actually, losing one PK wasn’t a big deal. The actual money gifts still ended up in her pockets.
Mainly just hurt the pride.
But she absolutely hated to lose, so she begged her big bosses using every trick she had.
Alas, her big bosses shrank back.
Gao Jing’s momentum was way too strong — sending 10 super rockets straight up.
What hope was there in fighting back?
Big bosses were savvy—if gifts weren’t platform-sponsored ghost gifts and they kept butting heads with Gao Jing—that’d just be nuts!
Despite all the audience cheers urging them on, they stayed moved.
Gao Jing really wasn’t paying attention to the opponent anyways.
He typed a keyboard command: “Play Arong’s ‘Your Answer.’ Maybe that’s just how the world is.”
“I am still on my journey, with no one to listen.”
“Perhaps I can only stay silent, tears wetting my eyes, yet unwilling to be weak!”
“Head low, waiting for daylight, taking all the mockery.”
“Facing the wind, embracing the rainbow.”
“Moving bravely forward…”
As Mu Yu sang with a slight quiver, Gao Jing sent another 10 Super Rockets.
This ensured she won completely.
Their connection had ended, the world is vast—value the journey while you can!
Without waiting for Mu Yu to finish singing, Gao Jing exited the live stream.
Next, it was time for “G93’s” Legendary moment that night on Qiyu Live!
Still in the Performance Zone, Gao Jing chose live streams doing PK battles, starting from the least popular ones.
He moved upward one by one.
He gifted them one after another.
He gave Super Rockets to hosts losing in PK, helping them turn the tables on their opponents.
He always left right after gifting, no matter the outcome.
[G93 sent 1 Super Rocket to the wandering singer Old Wolf—come get the gift box!~~~]
[G93 sent 3 Super Rockets to Strawberry Fruit—come get the gift box!~~~]
[G93 sent 1 Super Rocket to Angel on Earth—come get the gift box!~~~]
[G93 sent to…]
The system alerts kept coming, one after another, endlessly.
G93 was spamming everything!
The whole Qiyu Live was buzzing—where did this big spender come from?
Clearly, giving out Super Rockets like Gao Jing wasn’t something the platform made him do.
Countless viewers followed Gao Jing’s lead, joining one live stream after another in the Performance Zone.
It became one big party!
Only after midnight did Gao Jing stop his crazy gift spree.
All his Fish Fins were gone!
As for the results…
Gao Jing sighed and deleted his ID, the brightest on Qiyu Live.
He wouldn’t play anymore after this.
The reason was simple—the cost was too high for what he got.
He had put down a total of 1 million Fish Fins.
The Power of Faith he harvested was okay at best.
This Power of Faith mostly came from the PK hosts he helped win.
As for those people grabbing Fish Balls, the watchers, the noisy flatterers—
Their numbers were huge, but they gave back very little Power of Faith to Gao Jing.
To most of them, Gao Jing looked like a foolish spender, a rich idiot, a big waster.
They shouted “Big bro, you rock!” “Big bro, wow!” but real thoughts were nasty words, laughs, or jealous hate!
Idiot!
If only I had that cash! Why wasn’t it me? Life’s so unfair!
Things like that.
These bad feelings didn’t hurt Gao Jing at all.
They brought no Power of Faith.
Also, not every host he helped felt grateful.
People on this platform were too fake.
By the end, Gao Jing felt sick of it all, so he wouldn’t come back.
Of course, he didn’t lose everything.
After spending 1 million, he still got some Power of Faith.
He could still use the Bronze Anchor storage.
But to get better Power of Faith, Gao Jing needed to find another path.
Explore a new way!
He had an early plan already.
Pull off a huge one!!
