Chapter 61: A Reward of Ten Million!

He didn’t reply to Miao Tiantian, nor did he enter her live-streaming room. Instead, he used another phone, re-downloaded the Starlight Live app, and entered her streaming room with a small alternate account.

His main account, "The Wealthiest Mortal," had just gifted half a million and boasted a high rank, so entering any live stream would trigger special effects. Through his small account, he saw that Miao Tiantian’s streaming room was desolate, with just over a hundred viewers. At the moment, she wasn’t interacting with the audience; instead, she was staring down at her phone, clearly messaging her boyfriend.

The few viewers present were loyal fans, and their comments were all blaming the super moderator for blocking The Wealthiest Mortal earlier—otherwise, Tiantian would obviously have topped the trending list. Miao Tiantian herself was stuck in a dilemma.

Her boyfriend, Bai Jiahao, had suggested she follow the example of other female hosts and send The Wealthiest Mortal a few provocative, revealing private photos, hoping to win back his favor.

"Bai Jiahao, you’re getting more and more outrageous. Didn’t we agree before to take the pure and innocent route? And now you want me to act sexy and sell myself? You have zero respect for me!"

Miao Tiantian made her stance clear: she would never compromise her bottom line or sell her dignity for money.

As soon as he received her message, Bai Jiahao responded immediately.

"That’s a god-tier patron! He just gave half a million in one go! If you get him back in your streaming room and show him you care, maybe he’ll tip you a million!"

"What does dignity matter compared to money! Didn’t you see how those top hosts act in their rooms, flirting shamelessly, even calling their top tippers ‘daddy’ or ‘godfather’ in public? All you have to do is send a few photos..."

Reading his reply, Miao Tiantian felt increasingly chilled. In her boyfriend’s eyes, only money mattered; he didn’t care how she felt at all. She had always respected herself—content to be a laid-back, low-key streamer, never stooping to become a shameless internet beggar.

She hadn’t expected her boyfriend’s demands to escalate so quickly just a short while into her streaming career, and her discontent grew. Wasn’t this classic emotional manipulation?

She wasn’t going to be his slave!

Fuming, she fired back: "If you want those pictures sent, send them yourself! You’re the one who blocked him without apologizing, and now you want me to send him private photos? Bai Jiahao, am I just a commodity to you?"

But Bai Jiahao only replied curtly: "Don’t you want to pay off your debt?"

Seeing this message, Miao Tiantian bit her lip, her expression a mix of grievance and hesitation.

After half a minute of silence, she suddenly spoke up, "Sorry, everyone, I have some personal matters to handle—I might have to end the stream early..."

Hearing this, Lin Fan knew she was wrestling with herself—likely having an argument with her boyfriend.

Then, he entered her streaming room with his main account.

And sent her a rocket gift!

"The Wealthiest Mortal drives a Lamborghini into Miao Tiantian’s streaming room—come watch now!"

"The Wealthiest Mortal just sent a rocket gift to Little Tiantian’s stream—come join the excitement!"

His main account was now the center of attention for everyone. The moment he entered, two dazzling rainbow-colored banners scrolled across the center of the screen.

Instantly, every viewer flooded into Little Tiantian’s room, eager to see if Lin Fan would continue sending rocket gifts.

Miao Tiantian had been about to end her stream, but upon seeing The Wealthiest Mortal enter, she became visibly excited.

"Brother Wealthiest Mortal, I’m so sorry about earlier—the super mod accidentally blocked you. I apologize on his behalf, and I hope you won’t mind!"

"Brother Wealthiest Mortal, I’ve changed outfits already. Would you like to see me dance? I can do the window-wiping dance for you again..."

Hearing her apologize to him in public, Lin Fan couldn’t help but feel a touch of disdain. This girl was indeed pragmatic. But in terms of quick thinking and eloquence, she was every bit the match for Zhang Yichen.

He checked and saw that he had been unblocked by the super mod and could speak freely.

"That super mod must be your boyfriend, right? How petty!" Lin Fan deliberately tossed out a leading question.

"Uh..."

Seeing his comment, Miao Tiantian was instantly taken aback. She hadn’t expected him to ask something like that.

Lin Fan wanted to test whether she would lie. Since starting his own company, he had become familiar with the unspoken rules of the live-streaming world. Many female hosts, in order to gain attention and traffic, fabricated their backgrounds and hid all sorts of details.

Some would claim to be single, presenting themselves as pure and innocent, while in reality juggling multiple men and even flirting with company bosses—such things happened all the time.

Coincidentally, Miao Tiantian’s persona was that of a pure, sweet girl. With so many viewers flooding in, if she lied and denied it, her image would collapse and she’d be buried under a storm of criticism.

If that happened, Lin Fan would abandon any plans to recruit her to his company.

"Brother Wealthiest Mortal, to be honest, I do have a boyfriend—he’s also my super mod. It was his mistake earlier, and I apologize to you."

As soon as she said this, the audience exploded.

"Coolgirl: What! The streamer has a boyfriend? My heart is shattered..."

"Anonymous ID: Big Boss Mortal, are you trying to steal someone’s girl live on air?"

"Tangshao 2018: Seriously? Does Big Boss Mortal even need to poach? There must be tons of female hosts messaging him right now!"

"Xiaomi Real Estate: Clearly, Big Boss Mortal likes Little Tiantian! If he tips her five hundred rockets, I bet she’d dump her boyfriend on the spot!"

As the crowd reveled in the drama, Lin Fan seized the moment and sent a message that stunned everyone.

"I do like Little Tiantian. If she breaks up with her boyfriend tonight, I’ll tip ten million!"

At these words, not only Miao Tiantian but Bai Jiahao as well was floored. The viewers began to stir up the chaos.

"Watch out for pitfalls: Ten million? God-tier patron! Boss, are you trying to keep her as your own?"

"Aunt Wang’s Melons: If I were the streamer, I’d kick my boyfriend to the curb and fall into the arms of a tycoon! Ten million—if it were me, I wouldn’t have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of my life!"

"different: What are you waiting for, streamer? Accept his offer already! If you hesitate and the boss leaves, you’ll regret it!"

"GoodLuck123: So the big boss is into the fairy streamer—are we about to witness a live breakup? Everyone, grab your popcorn..."

At that moment, Miao Tiantian’s streaming room hit an unprecedented level of popularity—number one without question!

The entire Starlight Live platform, every viewer and host, became aware of the news. When word spread that The Wealthiest Mortal was about to tip ten million, everyone flooded into her stream, eager to see what she would choose.

Meanwhile, Bai Jiahao, seeing the barrage of comments, was shaken to his core. Not wanting to lose Lin Fan, the big fish, he immediately messaged Miao Tiantian.

"Say yes already! What are you waiting for? This is a god-level patron—if he really tips ten million, we’ll get five million out of it!"

Miao Tiantian was stunned for several seconds before she snapped back to her senses and questioned him immediately.
