Ever since Su Yang started using Douyin, he had never sent a gift to anyone. No matter how much he liked them, he would never spend money.
He had never even sent a little heart. He was all about getting things for free.
But back then, it was because he had no money. Now things were different. If he wanted to add the other party's contact information or even ask her out, it was impossible without sending some gifts.
Su Yang knew this very well.
He did not waste words. He opened Douyin's recharge page and prepared to spend fifty thousand yuan.
After a series of operations, his account balance showed 350,000 diamonds.
"Good enough. Let's start sending!"
As he spoke, Su Yang opened the gift interface and immediately sent ten Porsches.
At that moment, Porsche effects suddenly appeared across the screen one after another. Lin Yiyi was instantly delighted.
She stopped dancing and walked over to the phone, her expression full of surprise as she thanked him. "Wow! Thank you for the ten Porsches, Grocery-Buying Brother! Thank you, Brother!"
"Holy crap? A big spender showed up?"
"Big Brother is awesome!"
"Look at his name—Driving a Sports Car to Buy Groceries. How could he not be awesome?"
"That's awesome? He only sent ten Porsches."
"Then use your keyboard to send ten and let us see."
Su Yang watched the comments and smiled indifferently. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
"Grocery-Buying Brother, I love you. Everyone, help Yiyi by giving her a follow."
"Streamer, what kind of gift do I need to send to get some?"
Lin Yiyi read the viewer's comment with a slightly bashful look. "Get what?"
"Streamer, stop pretending to be innocent. What gift do I send to add you on WeChat?"
"Brother, the streamer doesn't add people on WeChat. If everyone likes Yiyi, just follow her and give her a few likes."
"Tsk, if she won't add me on WeChat, there's no point. What a shame about my fine Huazi. I guess we weren't meant to meet."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you've got the guts, send it! Sending one Huazi basically guarantees she'll add you."
"Exactly. If you want to add her on WeChat, send something first. Forget Huazi—start with a big rocket."
The comments began flooding the screen again.
Su Yang looked at the viewers' comments and smiled faintly. With the cigarette between his lips and his eyes narrowed slightly, he prepared to start the second round of gifting.
He found Douyin Number One in the gift list and, without hesitation, sent ten more.
Brilliant rocket effects immediately appeared across the screen.
Seeing the huge rockets filling the screen, Lin Yiyi's mind went blank for a moment.
She was only a small streamer and had been livestreaming for barely a month. She had genuinely never imagined receiving ten Douyin Number Ones at once.
She had received Porsches several times since she began livestreaming.
But she had never received a single Douyin Number One.
Now that she had received ten in one go, she could not help being stunned.
"Thank you, Grocery-Buying Brother, for the ten Douyin Number Ones! Brother, you're so handsome! I love you, I love you!"
"Holy crap! Ten Douyin Number Ones! Big Brother is awesome!"
"I thought ten Porsches would be the end of it. I never expected another ten big rockets! Big Brother's got some serious money!"
"If he didn't have money, could he be Big Brother? He instantly became number one on the leaderboard!"
"Thank you, and thank you again for the gifts, Grocery-Buying Brother! I followed you!"
"You only followed him after ten Douyin Number Ones? Streamer, no wonder you can't get popular."
"Exactly. Other streamers would proactively add a Big Brother on WeChat for just one, let alone ten."
Watching the viewers' comments, the corners of Su Yang's mouth unconsciously curled up.
Not bad, you loyal fans. If you know how to talk, keep it up. You're practically divine assistants. I haven't even said anything, and things are already going this well. Hehe, keep going.
Lin Yiyi was watching the comments too. Seeing the viewers urging her to add him on WeChat, she began to waver.
However, ten Douyin Number Ones were not enough to make her proactively give him her WeChat. She understood the principle of casting a long line to catch a big fish.
Besides, ten Douyin Number Ones really were not much in the livestreaming world. Although she was only a new streamer, she knew she was exceptionally attractive. Maintaining a little reserve would make it easier to attract big spenders.
Su Yang was not in a hurry either. He checked his balance. He still had diamonds left, and this time he planned to go straight for Huazi.
However, one Huazi cost diamonds. If he wanted to send ten at once, his diamonds would not be enough. He was short by tens of thousands.
He opened the recharge page and quickly spent another 100,000 yuan.
This time, he had more than 930,000 diamonds in total.
"Good enough."
He opened the gift interface, found Huazi, and sent ten in a row.
While the viewers were bickering, gift effects appeared across the screen once again. This time, they were the most expensive and dazzling Carnival effects of all.
"Holy crap! Here they come again—ten Huazi!"
"Awesome, Grocery Boss!"
"My god! This is definitely a real Big Brother!"
"Grocery Boss probably has his eye on this streamer."
"Grocery Boss is awesome!"
After Su Yang sent the ten Carnivals, the comment section erupted once again.
Lin Yiyi was genuinely dumbfounded this time. She had never imagined that he would send ten Huazi in a row. Ten Carnivals meant thirty thousand yuan in real cash.
What kind of person casually spent tens of thousands of yuan for no reason? Besides, Su Yang's username was completely unfamiliar to her. It was obvious this was his first time in her livestream. He had only taken a couple of glances before spending so lavishly.
And that did not even include the ten Porsches and ten Douyin Number Ones he had sent earlier. In this short while, she had already earned more than twenty thousand yuan.
Watching the Carnival effects, Lin Yiyi was extremely excited.
She leaned close to the screen and thanked him with all her effort, her fair cheeks flushed with a hint of red.
Feeling that her words were not enough, she stepped back several paces and bowed to thank him.
"Streamer, this is a rare opportunity! If you don't add such a low-key Big Brother on WeChat, I'm going to add him myself!"
"Who do you think you are? Does he even care about you?"
"Whatever. I just like this kind of low-key but powerful Big Brother!"
"Ten Huazi without making a sound. Being a streamer is really profitable."
"That still requires being good-looking and catching the eye of a Big Brother."
Su Yang watched the comments roll by one after another, his face lighting up. "Spending so recklessly feels amazing!"
Ding! Detected that the host is in an excellent mood after spending money. Reward: yuan in cash. --Damn! Two hundred and twenty-eight thousand! --I spent one hundred and fifty thousand and not only didn't lose money, I actually made a net profit of seventy-eight thousand? --What a godly system. It really can never be used up! Hahaha.
Su Yang laughed loudly and continued looking at his phone.
Watching the explicit comments constantly floating across the screen, Lin Yiyi's face flushed slightly.
She knew perfectly well that Su Yang had to have some intentions toward her after sending her so many gifts.
But just as the viewers had said, if Su Yang could become a regular Big Brother in her livestream, earning money would become much easier for her in the future.
And if he happened to be a young, handsome man, meeting him offline for a meal and getting to know him would not be out of the question.
Although she had said earlier that she would not add anyone on WeChat for gifts, that was only something she said. She definitely would not add people for ordinary little gifts, but if she refused to add someone who sent Huazi, she was afraid such a Big Brother might never return.
As long as the money was enough, any rules could be changed accordingly.
She would add him on WeChat first and observe him before deciding what to do.
Because Su Yang had kept sending gifts, the number of people in the livestream had risen from dozens to several hundred.
The official platform noticed this and also pushed some traffic her way.
"Thank you for the gifts, Grocery-Buying Brother. Let's add each other on WeChat. I'll message you privately after I end the livestream."
That was exactly what Su Yang had been waiting for.
He typed a reply in the comment section: "OK!"
Then, without saying anything else, he sent another ten Huazi in a row.
After sending them, Su Yang swiped away directly, leaving behind a stunned Lin Yiyi and a crowd of viewers enjoying the show.
Su Yang acted swiftly and decisively, beginning to search for other targets.
Hadn't the Patriarch once said that one should cast a wide net—solve the quantity problem first, then the quality problem?
Although there was no quality problem for Su Yang, since everyone he could bind with was exceptional.
He simply enjoyed the process. As for what he would do later, he could decide then. For now, he just wanted to have fun.
Besides, Su Yang did not think this made him a scumbag. Before he got any benefits, it did not count as being a scumbag.
Even if he did get some benefits, so what? He had a system now. What was wrong with being a little scummy?
So Su Yang took it all in stride. He had no psychological burden whatsoever and simply did whatever he pleased.
After leaving Lin Yiyi's livestream, he browsed seven or eight other streamers who seemed fairly good, but none of them scored above 85 points.
This continued until nine o'clock that evening, but Su Yang still did not find a new target.
Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness washed over him. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
