“Don’t get too cocky, kid!”
Baiyu was taken aback, his temper flaring up instantly. Who did this guy think he was talking to? Was he really not taking Baiyu seriously?
Baiyu found himself laughing in disbelief. Did this guy really think he could win?
According to the rules-gifts plus push-ups equaled the final score. Whoever got closest to a million points would win.
One push-up was worth 500 points, equivalent to 50 yuan1. Two push-ups equaled a sports car.
Sounds like push-ups were valuable, right? But how many could he actually do?
Baiyu bet this guy could do 100 push-ups at most, which was just 5,000 yuan! His own Kings could crush that with two Carnivals!
Competing with him on this… truly reckless.
“Hey, are you in or not? If not, I’m logging off!”
Jiang Feng was getting impatient. This fool was just rolling his eyes without saying a word, anyone would think he was mute.
Baiyu gritted his teeth and snorted, “What’s the rush, eager to lose?”
“I need to warm up.”
“You think brute strength alone can beat me? This requires skill…”
Baiyu’s nostrils were practically pointing to the sky.
The bullet screen in his live broadcast room immediately started singing his praises.
“Exactly! That clueless fool knows nothing, our Baiyu is the real pro.”
“Baiyu, don’t hold back, just crush him!”
“Right, show him what professionalism means!”
With over 5,000 viewers online, the bullet screen was like an avalanche.
A few Chats in Jiang Feng’s live broadcast room couldn’t stand it and wanted to retaliate.
But as soon as they sent a message, they were overwhelmed.
[Lv8 Newbie Small Bean: “Damn! No sportsmanship on the other side, I said one thing and nearly a hundred people came at me.”]
[Lv7 September Moon: “Same here, can’t out-argue them, there are too many!”]
[Lv5 Berserker: “Damn, never been humiliated like this! Streamer, take him down!”]
The people in Jiang Feng’s room were fired up.
Wasn’t this just a PK match? Was it necessary to target them like this?
What they didn’t know was… Baiyu was different from other streamers. Others might be in it for entertainment, but this guy had his mind set on Moli’s long legs in black stockings, so he was determined to crush Jiang Feng.
[Lv51 Release (frowning): “Streamer, maybe let it go, you can’t beat them in PK.”]
Release wasn’t worried about the money, but the other side was coming on strong, with several managers and Kings over level 50. If it came to a fight, he couldn’t take them on alone.
“Don’t worry, King!”
Just as Release was hesitating about contacting Sun Chen for backup, Jiang Feng spoke up.
Jiang Feng smiled confidently, “Everyone, including Release, rest assured, this one’s in the bag. I’ve told you before, to be a Golden Hustler, a streamer needs to master all sorts of skills.”
“Coincidentally, I know a thing or two about push-ups.”
[Lv10 Don’t waste my youth: “…Still showing off at a time like this, streamer, I gotta hand it to you.”]
[Lv4 Fairy Mist: “Ah, it’s over. The streamer’s epic fail moment is about to happen.”]
[Lv14 Sagittarius: “I’m already scared to watch. The streamer is about to get a reality check!”]
Occasional bullet screens floated by.
All of them doubtful of Jiang Feng.
But Jiang Feng didn’t care, knowing that mere words wouldn’t convince the viewers in the live broadcast room. It was time to let actions speak louder.
With that thought.
Jiang Feng swiftly lifted his shirt, revealing bronzed muscles and sculpted lines, a perfect body that under the lighting shone like a masterpiece of art.
Having been active and jumping around just before, now his slightly sweat-dampened shirt paired with those perfect abs.
The live broadcast room suddenly went silent.
???
Wait, King?
You…???
Are you serious right now?!
Stunned, the Chat was completely dumbfounded!!
King, you truly are my King!
With that body, why bother streaming? You could make more in one night as a male model!
Why stoop to please us just to make 3000 yuan?
What’s your angle here!!!
The bullet screen exploded, countless Chats commenting, and just then, new viewers started flooding into the live broadcast room.
The numbers skyrocketed in an instant!
100 people…120 people…180 people…220 people!!
[Lv13 Flower Fairy: “Wow!!! The streamer’s got a great figure!~~”]
[Lv8 Little Bunny Not Obedient: “Slurp, slurp, sisters come lick the screen, look what I found!”]
[Lv21 Yuanyuan: “So shy, but I can’t stop staring. What’s the deal?”]
[‘Lv13 Flower Fairy’ gifted the streamer ‘sports car’ x2!]
[‘Lv21 Yuanyuan’ gifted the streamer ‘Helicopter’ x1!]
[‘Lv33 Little Rich Woman Who Licks Milk Covers’ gifted the streamer ‘Moonlight on the Sea’ x1!]
“……”
A sky full of gifts filled the screen.
Instantly souring the original Chat.
Why though?
Is this dog of a streamer just a tiny bit more handsome and a tiny bit better built than me?
Is it really worth it?
King’s got money too!
King even adds two eggs to his instant noodles!
Jiang Feng smiled: “Thank you, sisters, for your gifts. Your little brother is deeply grateful. Those who like the streamer, please hit follow, and next time I’ll take the sisters along for some fun. There’s nothing the streamer can’t do if you can imagine it.”
[Lv13 Flower Fairy: “Wow!! Really?~~”]
[Lv8 Little Bunny Not Obedient: “Streamer~ Can I see your abs again?”]
[Lv21 Yuanyuan: “+1+1, I’ve sent gifts, I want to see those abs~”]
[Lv33 Little Rich Woman Who Licks Milk Covers: “Really anything? I don’t believe it~ Hmph~”]
All manner of bold words burst forth.
At this moment, the original Chat had to admit, damn… it seems when women get lecherous, men just don’t stand a chance.
Of course, Jiang Feng wasn’t intimidated, he simply posed confidently.
360°, unabashedly displaying his physique.
Instantly causing another round of screams from the women.
Just like that?
Jiang Feng chuckled softly, thinking to himself that these girls were still too naive, just engaging in some hype talk. In his past life, those older sisters were the real deal.
[Lv10 Don’t waste my youth: “(sourly) Who said girls on the internet are all reserved?”]
[Lv14 Sagittarius: “Who said that? I didn’t say it.”]
[Lv8 Newbie Small Bean: “I didn’t say it either.”]
[Lv5 Berserker: “…”]
[Lv7 September Moon: “Sigh~ Enough said, let me spit first, ptooey! Toxic king!”]
…
Meanwhile, Release was completely thrown off by Jiang Feng’s antics, helplessly rubbing his forehead.
[Lv51 Release: “You rascal…”]
Release felt resigned, thinking how youth was indeed a blessing. Looking at Jiang Feng’s physique and then at his own beer belly… better not dwell on it. Middle age comes with its compromises, like soaking goji berries in a thermos.
Who said having money means no worries? At least Release’s biggest headache right now was drinking and socializing, which was unavoidable.
But he couldn’t deny that watching Jiang Feng banter in the live broadcast room made him nostalgic for his own younger days…
He remembered when he was quite the handsome guy himself…
Rip-!
Bang!
“King! You said you’d take me to battle today, so let’s battle!”
Jiang Feng laughed heartily, pulling Release back to reality.
Jiang Feng tore off the tape from his body, filled a water bucket halfway, and then taped it to himself.
Laughing, he declared, “They say friendship is worth a thousand gold. My body is weak, so today I’m carrying 50 jin2, fighting alongside King. This 50 jin isn’t just anything; it’s the weight of King in my heart!”
“So today, I’m putting it out there: if we win, we win together with King!”
“If we lose, we lose together with King!”
“Trying to set traps and drive a wedge between me and King?”
“Scoff, get lost!”
