A screen full of Carnivals sent the livestream into an uproar.
'Holy crap! A super tycoon!'
'This is insane, Tuantuan is about to get kept.'
'The top supporter got blown away in an instant. Terrifying.'
One hundred Carnivals meant three hundred thousand had been thrown in.
Terrifying indeed!
And the Carnivals kept coming...
In moments, three hundred and thirty-three Carnivals had taken over the screen.
Tuantuan was dumbfounded. She did not even have time to play the game and was killed in the middle of a firefight!
"Th... thank you... One... One Body, Tiger's Courage..."
She even started stammering.
Zhuang Xin left the livestream directly. Seeing the system notification, everyone became even more frenzied.
'What happened? The big shot left right after tipping?'
'Damn, Tuantuan's reaction was too weak. He was probably disappointed.'
In Guang Shang Shen, inside a modest apartment.
A pretty, adorable-looking girl stared blankly at the screen.
She could not get out a single word. Only after One Body, Tiger's Courage had left did she snap out of it. She hurriedly exited the livestream and used another phone to search for Zhuang Xin and add him as a friend.
But there was no reply even after a long while.
Only then did she return to the livestream in a daze.
'Damn, Tuantuan has gone stupid.'
'I'll go see where this big shot ran off to.'
'Oh my god, he's in Brother Sheng's stream.'
By then, Zhuang Xin had already entered a livestream called Xu Huasheng and sent another three hundred and thirty-three Rockets!
One million flew out just like that.
This was way too frightening.
And it was not over yet. With Zhuang Xin crazily topping up his account, the entire Doushi was soon engulfed in a terrifying wave of donations.
Major influencers and minor influencers who received tips from Zhuang Xin all came to add him as a friend.
After Zhuang Xin accepted them all, Xiao Tuantuan also added him from her main account.
Countless others wanted to add Zhuang Xin as well, but he rejected them all.
That move drew the attention of countless people.
His originally small follower count surged to fifty thousand in just a few hours amid the tipping frenzy. The large livestreams brought in huge waves of fans.
Along with the countless people who came to watch after hearing the news, by the time the donation frenzy ended, he had accumulated over one hundred thousand followers.
Xiao Tuantuan: "Big shot, are you there?"
Zhuang Xin glanced at it but did not rush to reply.
One reason he had come to tip today was to quickly add these influencers as friends. The second was to gain followers.
Over the next few days, Zhuang Xin occasionally followed the news and called Xu Chi to ask about the construction progress at the Summer Resort.
He also frequently went online to tip. Whether they were major or minor influencers, he gave all of them something.
Because of his activity, his follower count rose to more than four hundred thousand in just a few days, and that number continued to grow day by day.
He was preparing and planning. If he did this, he would do it thoroughly... He would make sure Father and Son Cheng could never rise again. Even those news agencies would pay the price one by one!
Asking Doushi's shareholders and their connections for help would at most settle the matter and punish Father and Son Cheng.
But what about those news agencies that had used a few connections to launch a frenzied attack against him? Did they get to laugh it off and live freely afterward? Impossible... Zhuang Xin was not particularly petty, but his tolerance was hardly that great either.
"Just wait." Zhuang Xin took out his phone and watched those news agencies continue their endless reports, a strange smile appearing on his face. The more they reported, the bigger they made the matter, the worse they would die afterward.
Time trickled by, and before anyone realized it...
Even Doushi was filled with all kinds of videos.
The official Doushi accounts of those news agencies also began speaking out one after another.
'This rich guy is disgusting. How can someone like this exist in the world?'
'I'm too tired to curse him anymore. You guys keep going and curse him a few extra times for me.'
'If it were me, I never should have lent that bastard money for treatment. It would have been better if he'd died.'
All kinds of harsh, vicious comments filled the space below the videos.
The storm was also brewing without end.
It grew ever more terrifying.
It turned into a surging crimson tide, as if it would drown Zhuang Xin.
It was no longer just Juncheng. Now... Zhuang Xin had become famous across the country.
They wanted to wipe him out completely and utterly ruin his reputation.
They wanted him to become a rat crossing the street wherever he went.
Fengyang News Agency.
Xu Pei and Father and Son Cheng sat in the editor-in-chief's office, their faces full of ingratiating smiles.
On a chair near the door sat a red-haired delinquent girl, crossing her legs and smoking.
A balding, bespectacled middle-aged man in his thirties rested his chin on his hands, looking at the many reports on his phone with a sneer.
"Since your son has already gotten involved with my younger sister, and she has been confirmed pregnant, you naturally count as part of the Ning Family. This matter will only grow bigger. Zhuang Xin will be utterly disgraced, and when the time comes, his businesses will be thoroughly investigated under public pressure!"
"Crows are black all over. For him to have achieved so much at such a young age, he definitely did not take the proper path. When the time comes... he will have only one road left: death."
Xu Pei was overjoyed to hear that. "Editor Ning is right. This is all thanks to you. It looks like those two million are guaranteed."
"Two million? You made such a huge fuss, and you only want two million? Laughable." Ningbo shot a disdainful glance at the peasant-like woman and leaned back in his chair. "Without at least five million, he can forget about settling this!"
"Five million!"
Xu Pei and Father and Son Cheng were both startled.
That was far too much.
Would Zhuang Xin really pay it?
"What? Afraid? To be honest, I looked into it. This Zhuang Xin has several businesses under his name. Given the current situation, forget five million—even ten million, he will have to pay! Otherwise, no one will buy his products anymore, and no one will dare cooperate with him!"
Cheng Huai's eyes gleamed as he said greedily, "Then... then let's ask for ten million!"
"Ten million? Young man, you are still too young. As the saying goes, never corner someone too hard, or even a desperate rabbit will bite! Ten million is merely the price for us not revealing his identity! If he refuses, his identity will be made public! Otherwise, why do you think it has always been Mr. Zhuang instead of his real name? Even his photos have been mosaicked."
Father and Son Cheng suddenly understood. "So that's how it is. Editor Ning, you're brilliant!"
"Hehe! It will not be so easy if he wants to settle this matter completely! When the time comes, we will squeeze him dry bit by bit and drain every drop of his blood! Once we have enough money, we will never have to worry again for the rest of our lives. What White Jade Chess? You could buy two sets if you wanted!" Ningbo sneered sinisterly.
Xu Pei also revealed her repulsive yellow teeth.
Father and Son Cheng exchanged glances, greed filling their faces.
They had never seen this much money in their lives.
They would not be able to earn it in ten lifetimes.
