The Tipping King: How I Mastered Live-Stream Alchemy - Chapter 30 - Sun Chen Was Dumbfounded, Wait, What Did I Miss?

Baiyu had to admit defeat this time.

It was over.

Embarrassment was the least of his worries now; all he felt was regret!

But in this situation, even if he regretted it to his core, it was useless.

He was at Jiang Feng’s mercy.

Baiyu could only hope that Jiang Feng wouldn’t make things too difficult for him, or he’d really be at a loss this time.

“Hey… we’re just having fun, right? No need to make it hard for anyone, right?”

Baiyu forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. “We’re both streamers, after all. We’ll probably run into each other again.”

“Maybe we’ll even play together sometime, right?”

Even Baiyu felt disgusted with himself for saying that, but he had no choice in the current situation.

Running away wasn’t an option.

Back then, Moli could run because she was a woman; at worst, she could act cute and shed a few tears.

That would keep her audience in the live broadcast room.

But Baiyu couldn’t do that!

His persona was that of a real man, and if he ran away or cheated in a PK, who would come to his live broadcast room in the future?

[Lv11 September Moonlight: “Streamer! Don’t let him off! Remember how arrogant he was just now?!”]

[Lv14 Sagittarius: “Exactly, he’s just pretending now. Don’t go soft on him!”]

[Lv8 Berserker: “Right! Make him post the Surrender Letter! That’s the best option!”]

The bullet screen in the live broadcast room was buzzing.

Jiang Feng was also pondering Baiyu’s punishment.

The first two conditions were just to mess with him; he knew Baiyu wouldn’t agree to them.

But if the third condition was too harsh… it would just lead to a stalemate!

Baiyu wouldn’t agree.

And his audience wouldn’t agree either.

The result would be a lose-lose situation.

In the end, even though Jiang Feng won the game, he would offend his own audience over the punishment issue, which would be a Pyrrhic victory.

“Release, what do you think?”

Jiang Feng’s eyes twinkled. Since he couldn’t solve it, he decided to pass the problem on.

Sure enough.

As soon as Jiang Feng spoke, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room quieted down significantly.

The King’s words carried weight.

It seemed reasonable to let the King decide the third punishment since they agreed to PK together.

Release chuckled, fully understanding Jiang Feng’s intentions.

This guy was a real character.

Quite the sly one!

Release thought for a moment and slowly typed:

[Lv51 Release: “Aren’t you a Golden Hustler? Do you really need to ask me? Can’t do push-ups, but you can send gifts, right?”]

Sending gifts!

As soon as those words came out, Jiang Feng wanted to hug Release and give him a big kiss.

Truly my King!

You understand me so well!

Jiang Feng slapped the table and said fiercely, “Did you hear that? My King is merciful, letting you send gifts! 230,000 points, if you can’t do the push-ups, then send gifts to make up for it! Now don’t say I’m being harsh…”

“This…”

Baiyu’s face turned green. Damn it, you make it sound so easy, but that’s 230,000 points!

Without doubling, that’s a solid 23,000 RMB!

Almost as much as his monthly salary!

“Can’t we…”

“No, we can’t!”

This time Jiang Feng was impatient too. You can’t do this, can’t do that, can’t you play fair?

“Fine! I’ll send the gifts!”

Baiyu’s voice was squeezed out through gritted teeth.

Over 20,000!

This was more painful than being stabbed!

[‘Lv43 Baiyu’ gifted the streamer ‘worth 30,000 Carnival x7’!]

[‘Lv43 Baiyu’ gifted the streamer ‘worth 10,000 Sound Wave No.1 x2’!]

[‘Lv43 Baiyu’ upgraded to ‘Lv44 Baiyu’!]

“Is that enough…”

Baiyu’s face turned beet red, his fingers trembling with anger.

Jiang Feng’s lips curled into a smirk, waving his hand dismissively like shooing away a fly: “Alright, alright, you can leave now.”

In the next moment.

Baiyu disconnected without a word!

Damn it!

If I connect with you again, I’m a fool!

Not coming back, never again!

Inside Jiang Feng’s live broadcast room.

With the arrival of the gift effects, countless Chats burst into laughter!

The bullet screen rolled by like an avalanche across the screen.

[Lv10 Newbie Small Bean: “Awesome!!”]

[Lv11 September Moonlight: “Awesome!!!”]

[Lv25 Childish Queen: “Awesome!!”]

[Lv34 Little Rich Woman Who Licks Milk Covers: “Awesome!!”]

Countless ‘Awesome’ filled the screen.

Jiang Feng’s face also lit up with a smile: “Thanks to all the brothers and sisters today, and special thanks to King release and the support from the ladies. There’s no feast that doesn’t end, 3000 is enough, the streamer is ready to log off.”

“Those who haven’t followed, please give the streamer a follow!”

“We’ll meet again at this time tomorrow!”

After saying that.

Jiang Feng directly ended the broadcast, leaving countless viewers in the live broadcast room bewildered.

[Lv14 Sagittarius: “???”]

[Lv8 Berserker: “???”]

[Lv5 Fairy Mist: “???”]

[Lv25 Childish Queen: “???”]

What?

This rascal really just hustled enough money and ran away!?

Really doesn’t care about face at all?!

…

[Daily Hustle Mission: 48620/3000 (Completed)]

[Current Main Quest Completed: 3/5]

[Congratulations to the host for greatly completing the task, Received Critical Hit Reward: Lv1 Random Reward x3.]

[Rewards have been issued to the system space, Can be extracted at any time!]

Jiang Feng blinked: ???

What the heck?

Critical hit?!

[Host completed hustle mission over 200%, chance to receive 2x Critical Hit Reward.]

[Host completed hustle mission over 400%, chance to receive 3x Critical Hit Reward.]

[Current host level too low, maximum unlock 3x critical hit.]

[Please complete 5 Main Quests to increase level.]

“What the heck!!!”

Jiang Feng wanted to curse, “Why didn’t you say earlier?”

[Host didn’t ask.]

Jiang Feng inhaled: “…”

Alright! You win!

“So if I wait until I level up, will this critical hit reward still be effective?”

[Permanent effect.]

“Whew~ that’s good…”

Jiang Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly realized something was off: “Wait, after I complete 5 tasks, won’t your daily hustle amount increase? Then won’t it be harder for me to get critical hit rewards?”

[Task difficulty increases, loot crate rewards also increase.]

[After critical hit, host will also improve.]

[There’s no problem with that.]

Jiang Feng was speechless: “…”

Eh.

Seems like, probably, that’s actually true?

“Ahem, forget it, system, let me check this reward!”

[Opening package for host…]

…

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

release finished watching the broadcast, sipping tea and feeling a bit unsatisfied.

How to put it.

After watching Jiang Feng’s broadcast, going back to other streamers suddenly felt a bit bland!

That’s right.

Just bland.

Didn’t even feel like spending money on PK with others.

Wouldn’t it be better to save the money for that kid?

Just in time to watch that kid stir things up.

Ding dong.

release sent a message to Sun Chen: “Treat me to dinner.”

A few minutes later.

Sun Chen replied with a puzzled look: “Why???”

release was calm: “Don’t you have a grudge with Moli?”

Sun Chen: “Yeah, but what’s that got to do with treating you to dinner?”

release typed confidently: “The small streamer you recommended helped you get revenge today, so you should treat me to dinner.”

What?

Sun Chen was baffled: “Then I should treat the streamer too!”

release: “That’s different, I was involved too.”

Sun Chen: “How were you involved?”

release: “I participated as a water bucket!”

Sun Chen almost choked on his drink: ???

What the heck?!
