Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 153: Chapter 144: King vs. King

Not far away, when they saw Gu Heng start another live PK battle, Wang Yan, Deng Zhihong, and the many female influencers present all habitually opened TikTok and entered Yaya’s stream to watch.

"Yaya actually chose Mao Mao as her opponent?"

"This streamer is a regular on the Top 100 list, and right now she’s the number one from Huishi Province in TikTok’s annual Carnival competition. She has a lot of die-hard fans and many loyal patrons."

Yuanyuan, who was snuggled up beside Wang Yan, showed a flicker of surprise on her pretty face when she saw who the opponent was for this round.

"She’s that good?"

Wang Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Very good."

Yuanyuan nodded, her voice tinged with admiration. "Across the whole country, when Mao Mao goes all out, there aren’t more than a handful of streamers who can match her. And the number of people who could claim a definite win against her is even smaller."

Hearing Yuanyuan say this, Wang Yan’s interest was piqued. His body, which had been slouched lazily on the sofa, straightened up.

At that moment, the PK battle between them had just started.

Yaya’s score bar shot across the screen, as Gu Heng, with lightning-fast fingers, sent out a wave of Diamond Airships worth a total of two million.

The Blood Bar Disappearance Technique?

The so-called Supreme Ultimate Skill was nothing more than this Prince’s everyday basic attack.

"Thank you, my Brother Hangwang~"

"For the 100 Diamond Airships!"

A flush of excitement spread across Yaya’s pure, pretty face, and her clear, melodious voice resounded over the yacht.

After more than a dozen PK battles, Bai Bai and Yu Yu, at the professional DJ booth up front, had learned exactly how to play their part. They knew which music to play at what moment to maximize the hype for Gu Heng and his friends.

For instance, the music they were playing now was a battle anthem commonly used by many PK streamers, one that came with its own morale-boosting buff.

Gu Heng had sent 100 Diamond Airships with a mere flick of his wrist. Seeing this, even the formidable Mao Mao couldn’t help but feel the pressure.

Perhaps it was Prince Heng’s fearsome reputation that ignited the fighting spirit of the many fans and patrons in Mao Mao’s stream. Or perhaps it was because the bet between Mao Mao and Yaya concerned the pride of the Mao Family Army.

Right after Gu Heng sent the 100 Diamond Airships, Mao Mao’s score quickly began to catch up.

Seeing this, Gu Heng’s expression remained unchanged.

His fingers tapped rapidly. With another flick of his wrist, Gu Heng sent out a wave of Dream Crystal Shoes worth a total of 2.55 million, and Yaya’s score bar once again pushed the opponent’s back.

However, just as the battle reached a stalemate...

A comment suddenly scrolled across the screen in Yaya’s stream.

"Who dares call themselves invincible?"

"Who dares claim to be undefeated?"

"My brother, the Desire Emperor—"

"Shall vanquish all foes in this world!"

Gu Heng had just finished warming up, flexing his fingers and preparing to get serious. But when he saw the series of comments scrolling across Yaya’s stream, a giant question mark popped into his mind.

’What the hell?’

’Did this urban drama just turn into a fantasy novel?’

Utterly baffled, Gu Heng tapped on the scrolling comment to open the user’s profile.

Mysterious City, Male, Level 73.

’Damn, a real high-roller.’

’He’s just got some serious issues.’

Gu Heng had always thought his own youthful nickname, "Prince Heng," was cringey enough, but compared to this Mysterious City, he felt perfectly normal.

While Gu Heng was distracted, the previously deadlocked situation suddenly underwent a seismic shift. Mao Mao’s score bar instantly obliterated Yaya’s.

"Holy shit!"

"What’s going on?"

Wang Yan, who was sitting not far from Gu Heng watching the battle, couldn’t help but curse when he saw this.

"Just now, over a hundred patrons above Level 70 suddenly dropped into Mao Mao’s stream, including three max-Level 75 accounts. It looks like this was planned."

Deng Zhihong shot up from the sofa and spoke quickly.

"Son of a bitch!"

"What’s the meaning of this?"

"So they’re just ganging up on us, huh?"

Hearing this, Wang Yan grew furious. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Lao Deng, Lao Gao, Old Su, get on your accounts! Let’s fuck them up!"

At that moment, right after Mysterious City posted his dramatic proclamation, a few more comments scrolled across Yaya’s stream.

[Jing Haixin]: Ca2+ + CO32- = CaCO3↓;

[Shepherd]: Hey, I think your mom’s calling you for dinner. Huh? You gonna answer?

[Qiuying]: Time to get steamrolled.

Gu Heng watched the comments scroll past, looking at the familiar-looking usernames. He had a good idea of who these people were.

So it was "The Avengers."~

A hint of a smile flashed in Gu Heng’s eyes. Far from being annoyed by these taunts, he found them inexplicably amusing.

’They’re finally here...’

’Now this is getting interesting!’

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Heng’s half-lidded eyes. He looked at the opponent’s massive lead and, for the first time, truly got serious.

At this moment, in the opponent’s stream, the top 100 viewers were all top-tier patrons above Level 70. Any single one of them was the kind of presence that smaller streamers would frantically grovel before if they ever graced their streams.

Meanwhile, in their own stream, there were only a few big players. The highest level was Gu Heng at Level 69. The rest were the accounts of Wang Yan, Deng Zhihong, Gao Zihang, and the others. Although they were all above Level 60, not a single one was over Level 70.

This confrontation with such a huge disparity in power was comparable to the scene from *Journey to the West* where a hundred thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals descended to capture the demon monkey of Huaguo Mountain.

In terms of power, the other side held a completely crushing advantage.

Seeing this, the men on the yacht were cracking their knuckles, while the women subconsciously held their breath.

Inside Mao Mao’s stream, tens of thousands of fans and viewers were in an uproar.

"What’s happening? It’s like reinforcements from heaven!"

"Holy cow, three max-level accounts and over a hundred top-tier patrons above Level 70. Where did these guys even come from?"

"I think I know what’s going on. Prince Heng was probably being too arrogant tonight and provoked these big shots into teaming up to take him down!"

"Damn it! Take him down, everyone! He poached my favorite, the Ice Goddess! She’s probably his plaything by now!"

"I’ve finally figured these women out. With their fans, they wear as much as they can. With the patrons, they wear as little as they can!"

"The legendary titans [Desire Emperor], [Prince Ning], and [Qi’an], plus Mao Mao’s own titan [Yu Lan]... a total of four max-level titans appearing at the same time. This is so damn cool!"

"This is so exciting, it’s got me all hyped up! Dropping a link so my boys can come watch!"

"In this situation, Prince Heng can still win? If he still pulls this off, I’ll livestream myself eating two pounds of crap!"

"The end of a Legend. He was too high-profile and finally incurred the wrath of the gods!"

...

The many fans and viewers in Mao Mao’s stream all felt that this round was in the bag, and that Prince Heng on the other side was certain to be defeated.

At this moment, Mao Mao, sitting in front of her camera, was also a bit stunned by the situation.

Over a hundred top-tier patrons above Level 70 appearing at once was something she had never encountered, not even at her peak.

The crucial thing was that as soon as this group of top-tier patrons entered, they started spamming gifts without a word. Dazzling special effects bloomed one after another, and in just a dozen seconds, her score shot up by nearly ten million.

The three max-level titans were especially full of swagger; they said nothing and just kept sending Carnivals, leaving her at a loss for words.

However, as a major streamer in the PK category, after a moment of confusion, she pieced together the top-tier patrons’ intentions from fragments of comments in her fan chat.

It turned out this group of top-tier patrons was here for revenge against Prince Heng.

It was just by chance that they encountered her PK battle with him, and they were using her stream as the battlefield for their revenge on Prince Heng.

After understanding the situation, Mao Mao knew her position tonight was purely a matter of luck. So, she stopped asking for gifts and simply turned into a relentless thanking machine.

...

「On the yacht.」

Yaya looked at the terrifying lineup in the opposing stream, leaned out of the camera’s view, and whispered to Gu Heng, "Chairman Gu, they’re obviously ganging up on us. Maybe we should just let it go."

"It’s fine."

"No matter how many of them there are, they’re nothing but a house of cards."

Gu Heng flexed his fingers. "Go back and sit tight. With me here, it’s impossible for you to lose."

Hearing this, Yaya’s heart couldn’t help but flutter wildly.

His composure was so solid he wouldn’t flinch if a mountain collapsed in front of him. His confidence was casual yet utterly domineering. That, combined with his handsome profile, deep eyes, and broad shoulders... Yaya found it completely irresistible.

On a sudden impulse, Yaya leaned in and gently kissed Gu Heng’s cheek.

"Chairman Gu..."

"Win or lose, you’ll always be Yaya’s hero!"

After saying this with a shy blush, Yaya quickly sat back down in front of the camera. Her pure and lovely face had, without her realizing it, turned completely red.

Bingbing: "???"

Xinxin: "???"

Yangyang: "???"

Lili: "???"

Well, well, well!

So she’s starting to pull out her tricks, is she?

This sickly-sweet scent of "green tea"... how strangely familiar!

Even though Yaya’s actions had been spontaneous and heartfelt, in the eyes of the other women, it was a classic "green tea" move.

Meanwhile, the fans and viewers in Yaya’s stream saw her disappear for half a minute and then reappear in the frame.

She looked normal before she left, so why was her face so red when she came back?

And her pretty eyes were glistening as if they were about to overflow!

"YAYA, WHAT! WERE! YOU! DOING!"

"Don’t tell me Prince Heng is that fast? Done in half a minute?"

"Pass it on, Prince Heng lasts thirty seconds!"

"Yaya, I know you’re just doing this to make me mad, but can you promise me you’ll only use your mouth for eating from now on?"

"Just let me experience Prince Heng’s life for one day! I’d even settle for winning a 5-million-dollar lottery and marrying Tiantian!"

"Damn it, why are you being so greedy with your wish?"

...

The chat scrolled by, the fans in an uproar.

At this point, Gu Heng had finished flexing his fingers. Although Yaya’s sudden kiss had stirred something in him, the most important thing right now was to win this round.

Gu Heng saw there was less than two and a half minutes left, and for the first time, he cranked his speed to the max...
