As the song ended, Fang Jueyu was still immersed in the music, but the live stream chat had already exploded—not because of Xin Yu's fans, but due to the arrival of Fang Jueyu, which attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
A Level 10 VIP had certain privileges, and every time they entered a live stream, the system would announce it. Many people flocked in, curious to see if this mysterious tycoon would continue showering the streamer with gifts.
Normally, Xin Yu's room only had a few thousand viewers, with a maximum of twenty thousand. But due to Fang Jueyu's arrival, the number of viewers quickly surpassed 100,000, and it was still growing rapidly!
"So this is the type of girl the rich guys like?"
"Hahaha, she doesn't even show her face. Could it be Auntie Qiao?"
"No way! Based on my years of experience with women, this is definitely a beauty! Even though she's not showing her face, just look at those hands and legs—definitely a beauty!"
"This streamer's singing is really good. Even if nothing else, I'm following her because the 'Deer Boss' likes her!"
"Waiting for Deer Boss to drop gifts!"
"Waiting ×10086!"
...
Xin Yu, whose real name was Guo Xinyu, was just as surprised as anyone else by the sudden influx of viewers. Her family used to be well-off; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to learn the piano, which requires significant financial investment.
But later, her family's business ran into serious trouble, and the once-affluent family fell into debt. Now a college student, Guo Xinyu supported herself through live streaming, paying for her living expenses and tuition on her own.
She knew the live streaming world was full of all kinds of people, so she chose this more conservative streaming style, but without showing her face, many people lost interest. As a result, her income wasn't great, and after the platform's cut, she could barely cover her living expenses, with only a little left over for tuition.
She wasn't particularly involved in the live streaming community; she simply went live on time each day, playing the piano and singing. Suddenly, her room was flooded with viewers, and they were all talking about someone named "Deer Boss."
"Lin Shen Jian Lu (Deer Boss) has gifted the streamer Xin Yu with 99 Pandas!"
...
Fang Jueyu casually spent another fortune, gifting 990 pandas. Sitting at the piano, Guo Xinyu covered her mouth in shock, speechless.
One panda was worth 500 yuan, and 990 pandas amounted to almost 500,000 yuan. Though small streamers like her had to give 50% of their earnings to the platform, she would still receive around 250,000 yuan—a sum she hadn't earned in five years of streaming!
With that, she could cover her remaining two years of tuition and living expenses. Not only that, but she could also help alleviate her family's financial burdens. At that moment, she felt as if the goddess of fortune had smiled upon her.
"This username looks so familiar..." Guo Xinyu hadn't heard of anyone called "Deer Boss," but the username "Lin Shen Jian Lu" seemed somewhat familiar. She had nearly 50,000 followers, but on average, only around 5,000 viewers tuned in to her streams daily.
She vaguely remembered this "Lin Shen Jian Lu" as someone who had been a regular viewer in her stream for some time.
"Th-thank you so much for the gifts, Deer Boss! I'm really grateful." For a moment, Guo Xinyu couldn't think of anything else to say.
"Wow! The tycoon is at it again!"
"Deer Boss, I'm broke and have no money for food. Could you send me some? My account is xxxxxxxxxx!"
"I predict that this streamer is about to blow up!"
"Coach, I want to learn to play the piano and sing too!"
...
While Guo Xinyu was still lost in her surprise, a comment in the chat almost made her break down in tears.
"Although I don't know what's going on in your life, I've been watching your streams for a while, and I feel like you're not a very happy person. I hope these gifts help you a bit, and I hope your music can bring you joy again!"
"66666! Deer Boss isn't just rich—he's a master at charming women! I give this move full marks!"
"Wow, if I were the streamer, I'd have fallen for him already!"
"Why do I smell romance in the air? Is it just me?"
"No, I smell it too. I sense a story unfolding!"
"I will, I promise! Thank you so much!" Guo Xinyu nodded, though no one could see her. She wiped away her tears and tried to steady her emotions. "Deer Boss, is there any song or piece you'd like to hear?"
"I'd love to hear 'River Flows in You.' Is that okay?" This was Fang Jueyu's favorite piano piece, without a doubt. He had heard Xin Yu play it many times before in her streams, and her rendition, both in emotion and technique, was flawless.
"Of course!" Guo Xinyu's delicate fingers began to glide over the piano keys. She had played this piece at least a thousand times and could perform it from memory. As the melody filled the room, the entire stream fell into silence.
When the piece ended, Fang Jueyu didn't hesitate and sent another barrage of 99 pandas, igniting the chat once again.
"Deer Boss, please! Give me some money!"
"Can any insiders reveal what Deer Boss actually does? Could he be the boss of some company?"
"This is insane! I just came from Professor Pu's stream, and Deer Boss had already spent a million yuan there. Now he's dropped another million here. Is he trying to dominate the gifting leaderboard today?"
"Man, spending two million like it's nothing. It must be exhausting to spend a whole ten million!"
Though Fang Jueyu had topped up five million yuan, the system had gifted him 10,000 pandas. So far, he had only spent 2,000 pandas, or two million yuan. He still had a long way to go to hit his 10-million-yuan goal!
"Xin Yu, I'm going to check out some other streams. I'll be back tonight to hear you sing!" Fang Jueyu typed in the public chat.
"Okay, same time tonight at 10. See you then!"
...
After leaving Xin Yu's stream, Fang Jueyu continued his grand tour of the live streaming platform. Whether it was big or small streamers, as long as they piqued his interest, he started with at least 99 pandas.
"Hm, this gameplay is pretty good!"
"Lin Shen Jian Lu has gifted the streamer Jiangnan Gun King 99 Pandas!"
"Though her face looks heavily altered, her singing isn't bad!"
"Lin Shen Jian Lu has gifted the streamer Little Sheep 99 Pandas!"
"What the heck is this? A man dressed like that? Sorry, not for me!"
"Hey, this is pretty good. His shooting skills are amazing! Is he cheating? How come I can't control the recoil?"
...
Fang Jueyu spent the entire afternoon on the live streaming platform, finally completing his mission of spending 10 million yuan. He had become somewhat numb by the end, but from that day forward, the platform had a new legend.
A tycoon named "Lin Shen Jian Lu," known to viewers as "Deer Boss," had spent a staggering 10 million yuan in just three hours! He gifted not based on popularity, but purely on personal interest. The viewers had only four words to describe him: rich and willful!
