"Then I’ll listen to Brother Feng."
Su Ruoxi smiled and nodded.
As the two were chatting, a WeChat voice message came in from Lin Xiaoman. "Bro, how could you go back on your word? You promised to make it up to me!"
"Look at the time! I haven’t seen a single thing from you yet!"
"I can’t talk anymore, I have to go live!"
"After I’m done working, I’d better see what you got me, brother!"
After listening to Lin Xiaoman’s WeChat voice message, Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.
’This silly girl, why is she still so loud and impulsive?’
Seeing Lin Feng muttering to himself,
Su Ruoxi came over with a grin. "But speaking of which, I’m also a little curious. What gift did you actually get for Xiaoman?"
Lin Feng smiled but didn’t say anything.
He went straight to the room with the projector screen.
He connected the large screen to the live stream.
Just then,
Lin Xiaoman’s face appeared on the screen.
"For a spot like this, around the eyes, you have to be extra careful when you’re applying..."
Lin Feng saw Xiaoman push her face right up to the screen.
Her technique was exceptionally gentle, but the effect was immediate.
The color applied above her eyes was exceptionally beautiful.
At the same time, many people in the bullet comments were expressing their amazement.
"This streamer is incredible!"
"She’s so fast, I can’t even see what she’s doing."
"Words can’t describe it. Just sending the streamer a ’666’."
"That color combo is stunning!"
As the bullet comments popped up,
Lin Feng could also see many people in the stream sending Xiaoman gifts.
The Lin Xiaoman of today was no longer the nervous wreck she had been when she first started streaming.
Now, she could look at these gifts and continue her stream with perfect composure.
Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi watched for a while and noticed that the stream already had a very stable source of income.
You could tell there was a group of regulars who were always commenting.
Just by looking at the levels of these viewers in the stream, you could get a rough idea.
Perhaps at first, some viewers had only come to Lin Xiaoman’s stream because of Lin Feng’s wealthy gift-spamming to the top of the charts.
But now, these fans were watching Lin Xiaoman’s stream purely out of genuine appreciation.
Seeing this, Lin Feng felt a sense of relief and pride.
Xiaoman had found a job that suited her and had achieved some decent success.
As her older brother, he was naturally gratified.
At his side, Su Ruoxi also looked gratified.
Su Ruoxi and Xiaoman got along well. When Lin Feng was busy with the stock market a while ago,
Su Ruoxi had watched Lin Xiaoman’s streams quite a bit.
And Lin Xiaoman always knew there was a special fan in her stream.
It was her sister-in-law Su Ruoxi’s account.
Before going live today, she had just sent a threatening WeChat message to her brother.
Not long after, she saw her sister-in-law Su Ruoxi’s account enter the stream.
Lin Xiaoman didn’t think much of it.
After all, Su Ruoxi often came to watch her streams, so it was nothing to be surprised about.
But Lin Xiaoman had only just started
when she suddenly saw her sister-in-law’s account start furiously sending gifts.
And it wasn’t just any gifts, but the most expensive ones, like virtual yachts and luxury cars.
After the platform’s upgrade, expensive gifts like these could cost upwards of ten to twenty thousand.
Su Ruoxi’s account was spamming them as if they were free.
In the blink of an eye, several million worth of stream gifts had been sent.
This left Xiaoman stunned.
She couldn’t process why Su Ruoxi would support her so extravagantly.
Forget the streamer being slow to react; even the regulars who frequented Lin Xiaoman’s stream never expected there to be such a wealthy lurker account.
The entire stream chat went quiet for a minute or two.
It was just that no one had ever seen such a grand display.
Once the audience came to their senses, the bullet comments immediately exploded.
Many people were asking what was going on, and even more were asking who the rich benefactor was.
But Lin Xiaoman quickly realized that this definitely wasn’t her sister-in-law’s style.
This kind of extravagant style had appeared once before—on her very first day of streaming.
So, after figuring it out, her expression calmed down.
Previously, if a "big shot" in the stream sent a lot of gifts,
Lin Xiaoman would pause to say a few words of thanks.
But this time, she didn’t pause at all. After realizing what was happening, she just continued with her stream.
However, the more nonchalant Lin Xiaoman acted, the more it piqued the curiosity of everyone in the stream.
It was precisely this completely different reaction from Lin Xiaoman that made the viewers start speculating about the relationship between the wealthy account and her.
Lin Xiaoman ignored the commotion and focused on her stream.
Her contract with the platform had now been revised a second time.
She had to guarantee one to two hours of stream time every day.
For one, this was to maintain her popularity.
For another, it was to ensure revenue for the platform.
Watching the endless questions flood the bullet comments, Su Ruoxi patted Lin Feng’s hand beside her.
"Alright, alright. You used my account to send Xiaoman so many gifts that you’ve leveled it straight to level six."
"It’ll be impossible for me to sneak into Xiaoman’s stream anymore!"
Lin Feng smiled, looking at his calm-faced sister on the screen.
"Looks like Xiaoman already knows it was me."
Su Ruoxi gave a helpless smile. "This whole spectacle is exactly the same as Xiaoman’s first stream."
"As long as Xiaoman isn’t a complete idiot, she’d definitely figure it out!"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
Just then, Lin Feng received the system’s cash-back rebate for the stream gifts.
This time, Lin Feng had used Su Ruoxi’s account to gift Lin Xiaoman nearly five million worth of presents.
The system directly gave Lin Feng a cash-back of twenty million based on its four-times-rebate rule.
In other words,
in less than ten minutes, Lin Feng had received twenty million in cash.
’It seems there’s a lot of money to be made from gifting my own sister.’
’Too bad opportunities like this only come two or three times a month.’
Right now in Lin Xiaoman’s stream, everyone was speculating about the relationship between the "whale" account and Lin Xiaoman.
Just now, because so many gifts had been sent,
Lin Xiaoman’s stream had once again shot to its familiar spot at the top of the rankings.
The entire platform was running banner announcements about the recent massive gift-giving spree.
This, in turn, brought a new wave of curious fans to Lin Xiaoman’s stream.
Everyone wanted to see who this person was, the one who had gifted four to five million in a single stream.
Even some small and medium-sized streamers snuck into the room.
Compared to the regular viewers,
these streamers on the platform were, in a sense, Xiaoman’s colleagues.
Their memories were better.
As far as they were concerned, if they remembered correctly, this was the second time this stream had shot to the top spot.
It had crushed the second-place streamer with an absolute advantage, with nearly two to three times the gift value.
Seeing more and more people flooding into the stream,
Lin Xiaoman helplessly put down her makeup tools. She had to offer a small explanation.
"Looks like none of you are in the mood to watch my masterful technique anymore!"
"The person who was gifting just now is a relative of mine."
Hearing Lin Xiaoman’s explanation,
some of the long-time fans in the stream suddenly recalled a memory.
The first time she hit the top of the rankings, Lin Xiaoman had explained that the gifts were from her brother.
Her biological brother, to be specific.
At the time,
because Lin Feng had single-handedly pushed Lin Xiaoman to the top spot,
his account had automatically upgraded to a noble rank.
It was colored a brilliant gold for an entire month.
This time, the one gifting was still Lin Feng; he had just used Su Ruoxi’s account and turned it a brilliant gold as well.
Looking at this familiar scene,
the long-time fans in the stream fell silent.
This was especially true for the fans who had been following her since her very first stream.
To be able to witness such a grand scene and such extravagance twice in their lifetime
was, in its own way, an eye-opening experience.
