Tycoon: From Rags to Riches

Chapter 154: Chapter 145: On a Killing Spree

Just a moment ago, while other female streamers were in their PK battles, Gu Heng had tested his maximum single-handed tapping speed. His stable rate was eight taps per second, with short bursts reaching nine taps per second.

At this moment, there were approximately 160 seconds left in the PK battle.

Watching the score in the opposing stream skyrocket, Gu Heng entered his maximum output mode for the first time tonight. His thumb was tapping the screen so fast it was practically a blur.

As Gu Heng made his move, Yaya’s score bar immediately began to climb at a rate visible to the naked eye.

[Prince Heng] has sent Carnival ×199+;

[Prince Heng] has sent Carnival ×499+;

[Prince Heng] has sent Carnival ×799+;

...

A single Carnival was worth 30,000 votes. By the time Gu Heng had sent 800 consecutive Carnivals, Yaya’s total score was already approaching 30 million.

However, even with such a high score, she was still lagging behind her opponent.

Four Level 75 titans, plus over a hundred top-tier big shots at Level 70 or higher.

Although some of them were just there to show support and join the fun, not truly intending to spend money like it was water, every little bit added up. Even if each person just tossed a few Diamond Airships, the cumulative total would be nearly ten million votes.

What’s more, many of them were driven by a desire for revenge. When they started sending Carnivals, they didn’t hold back in the slightest, hoping to settle the score once and for all.

But Gu Heng’s side wasn’t completely without support. With two minutes left in the PK, Wang Yan, Gao Zihang, Deng Zhihong, Su Tianyi, and the others all logged into their accounts.

While they weren’t as outrageously extravagant as Gu Heng, who could rack up points at the insane rate of eight Carnivals per second, they still maintained a continuous, non-stop frequency of gifts.

At that moment, the gift notifications generally showed Gu Heng firmly at the top, while the notifications below his alternated between the others.

One moment it was Wang Yan, the next it was Gao Zihang.

It was a chaotic battle of the titans. Across all of TikTok, the sky-banner system notifications announcing who was sending Carnivals in Yaya’s or Mao Mao’s stream were practically non-stop.

This intense barrage of spending made other major influencers who were currently live, as well as the fans and viewers in numerous other streams, turn their attention to Gu Heng and the others.

"Hurry to Yaya’s stream or Mao Mao’s stream, both sides are popping off!"

"Bros, go watch now, it’s a legendary scene in the making!"

"A five-minute PK, and both sides have already hit over forty million votes. That’s insane!"

"It’s Prince Heng again! He’s already sent over nine hundred Carnivals in Yaya’s stream and is pushing for 999+!"

"So fucking rich. Treating a 3,000 RMB Carnival like it’s a ’Little Heart’ gift. I work my ass off as a security guard in my complex and only make 3,000 a month. I’m so pissed, I’m gonna go open one of the resident’s takeout orders and ’check the seasoning’!"

"Prince Heng is just on another level of terrifying. Three Level 75 titans leading over a hundred Level 70 top-tier big shots came for revenge, and they still can’t take him down. Other than ’FUCKING AWESOME,’ I really don’t know what else to say!"

...

Countless similar comments appeared one after another in streams across the entire platform, causing a torrent of traffic to siphon into Yaya’s and Mao Mao’s streams.

10,000, 30,000, 60,000, 80,000...

Yaya, who had started her stream with only a few hundred people, saw her viewer count climb higher and higher as both sides frantically threw Carnivals.

Meanwhile, Mao Mao, who had started with over forty thousand viewers, now had over 100,000+ in her stream. The combined total viewership for this chaotic battle of tycoons was approaching 200,000 people.

Gu Heng was completely unconcerned by this.

He was like a ruthless, screen-tapping machine.

With less than half a minute remaining, the gift notification in the bottom right corner of Yaya’s stream suddenly changed: [Prince Heng] has sent Carnival ×999+!

The moment this appeared, the viewers and fans on both sides erupted.

Countless comments like "666," "BIG SHOT IS A BEAST," and "EPIC MOMENT" exploded in the chat sections of both streams.

At the same time, the number of viewers in Yaya’s stream officially broke 100,000+, and her score bar, which had been trailing the entire time, once again surpassed Mao Mao’s.

On the yacht, many of the girls were watching the PK battle intently.

When they saw Gu Heng send over a thousand Carnivals in Yaya’s stream, and saw her score exceed forty million, every single one of them couldn’t help but reveal looks of envy.

million votes!

Converted to RMB, that was 4 million!

After the platform’s and the agency’s cuts, Yaya would net nearly two million from this stream alone!

A full two million!

Even for them, major influencers who could earn several hundred thousand a month, this was still a huge sum. After all, while their incomes were high, so were their expenses. Saving up two million would take a very long time.

At this point, forget the other girls; even Yaya herself was feeling a little dizzy, as if she’d been struck by this sudden, overwhelming fortune.

"Thank you, Brother Hangwang..."

Yaya repeated this phrase over and over. Her gaze had long since drifted away from the stream, her glistening eyes fixed on Gu Heng beside her. Anyone could see that she was starting to fall for him.

It was impossible not to be moved. With Gu Heng dropping over a thousand Carnivals like this, any of the girls present would have been completely overwhelmed.

This shower of a thousand Carnivals brought Yaya more than just money; it came with a massive wave of traffic that would leave an indelible mark on her career in the entire live-streaming world.

In the future, this epic PK battle would undoubtedly be rehashed again and again by clickbait accounts, bringing Yaya a continuous stream of free traffic.

The PK battle continued.

In the final thirty seconds, both sides were in a complete frenzy.

Gu Heng went directly into his maximum burst mode, and the original "[Prince Heng] has sent Carnival ×999+" quickly became 1099+, followed by 1199+.

The hundred-plus top-tier Level 70 big shots on the other side had also completely lost it. They had stormed in with overwhelming momentum, posturing as if they could crush anyone from the very start. If they ended up losing, defeated by Prince Heng single-handedly...

...to use the words of General Fan, they would truly have no face left at all.

Infected by this atmosphere, even Wang Yan, Deng Zhihong, and the others started to get carried away.

"Fuck ’em up!"

"Chairman Gu is the man!"

"Go, go, go!"

"Come on, you damn hand, go faster!"

...

Wang Yan and the others howled as, in this final moment, their own tapping speeds began to pick up. Each of them had also sent over two hundred Carnivals.

The seconds ticked away. Just as the five-minute countdown hit zero, the gift notification in the bottom left of Yaya’s screen impressively changed to:

[Prince Heng] has sent Carnival ×1299+!
