7: Chapter 7 Rewards
Host: "OK, everyone. The top five have been decided. Next is the 5-to-2 knockout round. Let me introduce the rules..."
The rules for 5-to-2 are the same as before: 1 minute to add 5 numbers to the pitch. To revive, one needs to exceed the second place's score.
The only difference is the addition of a 5,000-point base score. That is, to pass the mic, you must exceed the previous person's score by 5,000 points.
After the Host finished introducing the rules, it was Yaoyao's turn to go on stage first to campaign for votes.
As soon as Yaoyao took the microphone, the brothers and sisters from her fanbase started sending votes.
But they were all scattered votes, totaling only a little over 2,000 points.
Finally, the level 52 Sleepy Brother directly added five carnivals.
He pushed Yaoyao's score to 220,000, temporarily ranking her in first place.
A level 52 big brother is truly capable; five carnivals were tossed out casually.
When it was Fufu's turn to campaign, Brother Yuanzhang also effortlessly sent five carnivals.
Next was Xiaxia. The big brother in her fanbase was named Bubblegum, a level 55 big brother.
Seeing that everyone before him had sent five carnivals, he thought, "Well, I'll send some too."
Bang, bang, bang—another 5 carnivals were smashed down.
[Oh my god.]
[It's starting, it's starting.]
[It's raining carnivals.]
[Brothers, don't just send carnivals. Aren't dragons better?]
[I only have sound and vibration effects on, waiting for the brothers to send dragons.]
The special effects fans in the Livestream Room were thoroughly hyped up.
It was a real fight, a real fight.
After Xiaxia passed the mic, Ranran took the microphone. Supporting Ranran was a level 57 big brother whose name was just a capital letter, F.
Hearing the Host call him Boss F, Zhang Shan estimated that this big brother must be very powerful.
This Boss F also sent five carnivals.
"Truly worthy of being god-tier big brothers; they are so generous. They send carnivals five at a time, huh?"
"I really like it."
Zhang Shan felt a bit excited.
Miaomiao was also shocked to see other big brothers starting with 5 carnivals.
How could the battle be this intense? How is Brother Qingshan supposed to catch up?
These people are so annoying.
Host: "Ranran has passed the mic. Next is Miaomiao. Let me calculate... Miaomiao needs 39,000 talent points to pass the mic. One-minute countdown starts now."
Miaomiao: "Um, babies, Miaomiao is here again, again, again, again. Ah, um, we need 39,000 talent points to pass the mic, ah, um..."
Zhang Shan saw Miaomiao stuttering and immediately stopped his hand from sending gifts.
"What's the situation?"
"Is she nervous because the other big brothers are so capable?"
"Or has she not seen a big stage and got stage fright?"
"I think she just lacks practice. She should exercise more."
Zhang Shan decided not to help Miaomiao pass the mic yet, letting her break through herself.
"She looks quite cute when she's nervous, haha."
Actually, Miaomiao wasn't entirely nervous; she was mostly feeling sorry for Brother Qingshan... for his money.
Uh, no, she was afraid Brother Qingshan would overspend.
The battle was bigger than she expected.
Originally, she thought the 5 carnivals Brother Qingshan gave her would let her last a few more rounds, or even rush into the top 2.
She never expected she would have to get on stage on the very first round.
She was thinking about what to say to avoid hurting Brother Qingshan's face while also not hurting his wallet.
Thinking about this, her speech was a bit disjointed.
[Hey, this young lady looks a bit nervous.]
[Her campaigning skills aren't great either.]
[No culture leads to this.]
[She can still get 180,000 votes like this? What was the big brother thinking?]
[Tsk tsk tsk...]
[Host, do your job.]
[Miaomiao is on stage, the whole place is heating up, infinite charm, Miaomiao shines the brightest! (Raising glow stick) (Raising glow stick)]
The continuous rain of carnivals attracted more viewers to the Livestream Room.
At this moment, the number of people in the Livestream Room had exceeded 4,000.
As the number of people increased, discordant voices followed.
The room moderator scrambled to control the barrage, banning and blocking users in one go.
Fans of each streamer also started typing cheering slogans to support their favorite streamers.
Miaomiao was not affected by the barrage because she had no intention of looking at the big screen right now.
"Miaomiao knows it's hard to catch up with so many points. I am very grateful to the babies for your support in getting me here, especially to Brother Qingshan for spending so much for Miaomiao..."
The more Zhang Shan listened, the more wrong it sounded. What is this girl doing?
Why is she giving a farewell speech?
I haven't said I'm giving up yet, and you're surrendering first.
[Lv35 Qingshan gifted Its Miaomiao carnival × 1 × 2 ... × 5] (150,000 diamond)
[Congratulations to Qingshan for just reaching Lv37]
[Lv37 Qingshan: You better campaign for votes properly!] (Pinned screen)
[What?]
[Is this Livestream Room selling carnivals wholesale?]
[Brother Qingshan is awesome.]
[Brother Qingshan, you're handsome.]
[The big brother is really spending.]
[Big brother is foolish.]
[Big brother, look at me, I have long legs and a sweet voice.]
[The person above, you forgot to shave your beard.]
Da Zhuang: "What? (Hoarse version) Thanks to my Brother Qingshan for sending five, CAR! NI! VALS!! Congratulations to my Brother Qingshan for rising to a level 37 consumer tycoon in the Livestream Room. Miaomiao, Brother Qingshan wants you to campaign for votes properly."
"Ah, thank you Brother Qingshan, thank you. I will campaign for votes properly. Mua, love you."
Miaomiao saw Brother Qingshan send 5 more carnivals and realized she had misunderstood.
Having known him for over two months, she felt she didn't understand Brother Qingshan at all.
Forget it, forget it. Since Brother Qingshan has spoken, she shouldn't let her imagination run wild.
[Ding, Miaomiao's favorability +8]
Seeing the system's favorability notification, Zhang Shan wasn't surprised.
Giving more gifts inevitably leads to favorability thresholds; this is unavoidable.
But as long as it can increase favorability, there's no problem.
[Ding, the favorability of the streamer you bound has exceeded 50 points. Reward obtained: Nuclear-Powered Kidneys]
[Nuclear-Powered: Powerful, enduring]
[Ding, would you like to claim the reward?]
"Claim, claim."
Such a good reward, hesitating for even a second would be disrespectful to himself.
With such a bug-level ability, from young lolis just of age to older sisters as fierce as wolves and tigers, wouldn't they all be charmed by him until they were mesmerized and overwhelmed?
Cough, thinking too far ahead. Better watch the stream first.
After Miaomiao passed the mic, it was Yaoyao's turn to take the mic again.
Watching Miaomiao walk off the stage happily from her side, Yaoyao was filled with jealousy.
