Leaving the WeChat interface, Lin Dong opened the Douyin app.
When he had nothing to do, Lin Dong liked to scroll through Douyin.
Seeing that the streamer he followed, Xueweier, was live, Lin Dong clicked in.
This Xueweier was a streamer Lin Dong had followed on Douyin for a long time, ever since she first started streaming, which was over a year ago.
Lin Dong could be considered one of her first fans, starting from just a few followers, and now she had fifty thousand fans.
Her live stream also went from a few people, then a dozen, to now two to three hundred people.
However, Lin Dong had never given her any gifts; he just liked listening to her voice and her songs.
Actually, with Xueweier's conditions, she could have done better, but her live streams were only audio, without showing her face. Such streams found it difficult to attract big spenders on Douyin, after all, how many people specifically listened to music? Most came to see pretty girls.
So, even though her voice was beautiful and her singing was excellent, she remained a small, lukewarm streamer.
Due to Jiang Shan's matter during this period, Lin Dong hadn't entered Xueweier's live stream for nearly a month.
As soon as he entered the live stream, Lin Dong heard the familiar voice singing "Absolute Infatuation."
"The kind of heartache I've given for you, you'll never understand."
"Why should I force myself to love everything about you?"
"You fiercely push back my defenses, tightly close the door, and silently count my tears."
Hearing this song, Lin Dong's eyes immediately welled up.
Humble love always yields no results.
A simp is a simp, and in the end, they lose everything.
After the song finished, gifts in the live stream started flying again.
However, they were all small gifts, a few yuan, a dozen yuan, none over a hundred.
But Xueweier still thanked each person by name.
She was just a small streamer; it was good enough that someone was giving her gifts.
"Thank you, Brother Xinyu, for the gift."
"Thank you, Brother Gaoshan Liushui, for the gift."
"Thank you, Sister Xin, for the gift."
Lin Dong felt that he was no longer short on money and should give some gifts to the streamer he liked.
So, using his system balance to recharge Douyin, Lin Dong directly topped up ten million.
Then he started giving gifts to Xueweier.
He directly chose the most expensive gift, Star of the World.
Xueweier was in the live stream, thanking the brothers and sisters who gave gifts.
She could receive a few hundred yuan in gifts by streaming for a few hours each day, and she would get one or two hundred, or two to three hundred yuan herself, which she was actually very satisfied with.
It wasn't that she was unwilling to show her face, but it was inconvenient in her school dormitory, where she lived with three roommates who dressed casually. Moreover, she was a music student, and she didn't want people to give gifts because they liked her face; she hoped they would give gifts because they liked her singing.
Some big spenders also sent her private messages, wanting to meet her and then boost her ranking, but she refused. She felt it was like a transaction, and although she was short on money, she just wasn't willing to do that.
Suddenly, Xueweier felt a flash of light in the live stream.
"Is this the special effect of Star of the World?"
In her over a year of streaming, she had never received a Star of the World, but she had seen others give them in other live streams.
One Star of the World cost two thousand yuan; usually, she would earn that much in a week of streaming. Today, someone was actually giving her a Star of the World?
Xueweier hadn't even clearly seen who sent the Star of the World when the second flash of light appeared.
Third time...
Fourth time...
The special effect lights of the Star of the World began to continuously appear in Xueweier's live stream.
(Yigen Xiao Huochai, sent Star of the World X10 to streamer Xueweier)
(Yigen Xiao Huochai, sent Star of the World X11 to streamer Xueweier)
...
(Yigen Xiao Huochai, sent Star of the World X66 to streamer Xueweier)
For continuous gifts of sixty-six or more Stars of the World, it would not only flood the streamer's live room but also be promoted across the entire Douyin platform.
Immediately, many live streams saw a rich person appear in Xueweier's live stream.
"Holy cow, a rich person appeared in an unknown live stream; I'm going to check it out."
"Wait for me, wait for me! I'm going too."
Xueweier's live stream was suddenly flooded with many onlookers, and the number of people soared from over two hundred to over a thousand, and the number was still increasing.
"Thank you, Little Brother Yigen Xiao Huochai, for the Star of the World, thank you, thank you!"
"Kiss, kiss, Xu'er loves you!"
Xueweier was already so excited she didn't know what to say.
However, the special effects showed no sign of stopping.
(Yigen Xiao Huochai, sent Star of the World X666 to streamer Xueweier)
...
(Yigen Xiao Huochai, sent Star of the World x999 to streamer Xueweier)
...
(Yigen Xiao Huochai, sent Star of the World X1314 to streamer)
Ultimately, the number of Stars of the World Lin Dong sent stopped at 1314, simply because he was a bit tired.
And Xueweier's live stream directly exploded, with the number of viewers rising to 100,000.
"Holy cow, Firewood Boss is awesome."
"Firewood Boss is mighty."
"Firewood Boss, do you still need followers?"
Xueweier herself was completely stunned.
What was the concept of 1314 Stars of the World?
Converted to money, it was over 2.6 million yuan.
Even if she got half, she would receive 1.3 million yuan.
She looked at the person who sent the gifts, named Yigen Xiao Huochai, who had followed her a long time ago but had never given gifts. She never expected him to give so many today.
Xueweier immediately sent a private message.
"Thank you, little brother, for the gifts. Can I add your WeChat?"
Lin Dong saw Xueweier's private message and sent his WeChat ID.
Soon, the other party added him.
"Little brother, thank you for your gifts."
"It's nothing. I've listened to you sing for so long and never given gifts, which I felt bad about. I'm making up for it all today."
"Thank you for your support, little brother. If I have time, I'll sing for you alone. My name is Li Xuewei, what's your name, little brother?"
"My name is Lin Dong."
The two chatted about some unimportant things, with two out of every three sentences from Li Xuewei expressing gratitude to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong walked to the three-meter-high floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the riverside night view outside the window, which was very prosperous, charming, and beautiful.
He took a few photos of the night scene with his new phone and then posted them to his Moments.
Caption: The night view of Linjiang is still very charming.
Lin Dong actually rarely posted to Moments, but today he was in a great mood, so he couldn't help himself.
After posting to Moments, Lin Dong felt a bit tired, so he lay down on the four-meter-wide luxurious bed in the bedroom to sleep.
Lin Dong went to sleep.
But some people on Douyin couldn't sleep.
Especially those big streamers.
Don't look at these big streamers; their top one, two, and three on the leaderboards all spent millions.
But those were all from their guilds, and they didn't get a single penny. The ones who truly got money were the 'leeks' further down the list.
Just now, someone directly spent over 2.6 million yuan in a small streamer's live stream, and for a small streamer like that, no guild would promote them so vigorously, so it truly was a big shot spending money.
Why hadn't such a big 'leek' fallen into their bowls yet?
Some of them had already started researching Xueweier's live stream, seeing if they could attract this big shot.
