Dragon Guards had a total of ten full squadrons, with nearly 200,000 members altogether.
It was hard to imagine that an online army could be so enormous.
Of course, their love for Wang Yi alone clearly couldn't sustain such a massive force.
Aside from their love for Wang Yi, Brother Xiang also provided them with financial support.
Brother Xiang had gained over ten million followers on TikTok by commentating on Wang Yi's games and editing videos of him.
During a single livestream, the number of viewers often reached fifty or sixty thousand.
He earned money from advertising and product promotions.
His monthly income was over a million yuan.
Of course, after deducting 45 percent for personal income tax, he still had to support his team.
So his actual personal income was around 400,000 yuan a month.
After subtracting other expenses, he could pocket about 300,000 yuan each month.
Every month, he set aside 20,000 yuan from that amount as a war fund.
There hadn't been a fight for a long time, so the war fund had already accumulated to over 400,000 yuan.
They rarely spent this money under normal circumstances, but whenever a fight broke out, he would use it to pay the keyboard warriors.
Their pay was calculated according to the quantity and quality of the messages they posted.
A short comment of just a few words, such as "Support Wang Yi" or "Haters, get lost," earned one fen per post.
Comments between twenty and fifty characters earned one jiao each.
Longer comments of over a hundred characters earned one yuan each.
If someone managed to flame a person into shutting down their comment section, they received an extra ten yuan.
This financial support was what motivated the keyboard warriors to battle the haters.
Just imagine: an online campaign
