Chapter 007
System Upgrade Imminent

“Feifei, you got showered with gifts today. I'm so envious!” Nanna, Feifei’s best friend, said with a look of envy. She’d reached out to Feifei shortly after she went offline.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect it either. When Brother Six came to watch me, he only occasionally gifted me some small things. I don’t even have his WeChat, just occasionally chatted with him in the live room. I never thought he’d suddenly start spending crazily. Luckily, we got along well, and Brother Six remembered me.” Feifei said happily.

“So, did you add him on WeChat? I heard Brother Six rarely adds streamers on WeChat.”

“I did, Brother Six added me just now.” Feifei was very happy. Now she could contact her Big Brother often, and they could become closer. From now on, she could proudly say that Brother Six was her Feifei’s Big Brother, Feifei thought to herself.

“How about it? Where is Brother Six from? How old is he? What does he look like? Is he handsome? What does he do?” Nanna asked a series of questions directly.

“I don’t know. He doesn’t post much on his Moments, just a few landscape photos. All I know is that he’s from the Southern Province. He should be around thirty, not too old. I don’t know anything else. We didn’t chat much just now.”

“I'm so envious, ah. When will I have a Big Brother like that? I’d be able to eat full for a month with just one gift!” Nanna is also a streamer on Douyu, but she’s in the beauty section. She’s a chat streamer, relying solely on her looks and eloquence. Nanna is taller than Feifei, standing at 1.7 meters tall with long legs and a mature look. Unfortunately, she's not good at socializing or communicating, and she hasn’t been doing well on the platform. She had a Big Brother who spent a lot on her for a while, gifting her over a million yuan. But that Big Brother probably realized he couldn’t get anything from her and left, and she got dumped. Even worse than Feifei.

“Didn't you have a Big Brother before, that Jin Ge?” Feifei asked.

“Jin Ge did give me a lot of gifts, but I wasn’t attracted to him. He confessed his feelings, but I refused, and he stopped coming. Ah, although I know this kind of situation is normal, I've come to terms with it.” Nanna remembered Jin Ge, her previous Big Brother, who had gifted her almost a million yuan. Initially, he just seemed like he was playing around on Douyu, gifting 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. He never asked to meet her. But when his gifts reached almost a million yuan, he suddenly asked her out, wanting to date her. She met him, but found him completely unappealing. She's a beauty addict, so she directly rejected him. Then, the Big Brother stopped coming. He went to find someone else.

However, it’s good that it ended well. It’s better to part ways on good terms. Maybe he didn’t need the money that much. Otherwise, there would be many conflicts between Big Brothers and female streamers on Douyu. They might be sweet and affectionate in the live room, but once they meet in reality, anything could happen. There are countless examples of Big Brothers and female streamers turning against each other.

“Let’s not talk about him anymore. Feifei, if Brother Six goes to your live room, let me know, and we can play together. We should share the wealth, sisters! Brother Six’s medical expenses are so fragrant!” Nanna was quite blunt and straightforward.

“Okay, but I don’t know when Brother Six will go on Douyu. He seems to be random, only occasionally playing Douyu at night.” “If he comes to my live room, let me know.” Feifei wasn’t worried at all.

Protect yourself from fire, theft, and best friends. Was Feifei a little too naive?

At this moment, in the dance streamer Xiaomeng’s live room.

This girl was the streamer who received the most gifts from Chu Heng recently. Chu Heng had gifted her three to four million yuan in total, including the time he sent 500 Super Fires, worth one million yuan, just to her.

After that day, Xiaomeng always streamed on time, even starting earlier. She hoped that when Chu Heng came to Douyu, he would see her. Although she doesn’t know Japanese, she specially learned the ending song from Slam Dunk, the one sung by the female character. She wanted to sing it to him when he came, but Chu Heng hadn’t been to her live room for the past few days, making her feel a bit lost. She secretly watched Chu Heng’s big spending sprees in other live rooms, but she never said anything. Due to Chu Heng, her guild also gave her more resources. Recently, her live room's popularity, VIPs, and everything else had improved tremendously.

Honestly, although she’d had Big Brothers before, none of them had been as generous. She also blocked a previous Big Brother who made excessive demands of her, and before Chu Heng came, she was close to giving up on streaming. She didn’t want to stream anymore.

After careful consideration, she suddenly encountered Chu Heng, such a big shot. Just because he heard a song, he gifted her one million yuan! And he didn’t even add her on WeChat or ask anything of her. She had never encountered this kind of situation, this kind of Big Brother.

She had never received so many gifts in her life. Through recent observations, she realized that Chu Heng didn’t have a dedicated guardian streamer, but he did have a few he liked. Now, she thought to herself, if Chu Heng came to her live room again, she would definitely interact with him more and try to add him on WeChat. If he looked decent in person, she wouldn’t mind taking things further. Unfortunately, Chu Heng hadn’t been to her live room for more than a week, since that last time.

She posted a screenshot of the 500 Super Fire gifts on Yu Bar, for everyone to see. It was partly a brag, but mainly a way of letting other streamers know that Brother Six had gifted her the most, that Brother Six was her Big Brother. There’s fierce competition for Big Brothers on Douyu nowadays. There are too many monks and not enough porridge.

Xiaomeng is taller than Feifei, with a slim figure and a mature, gentle, older sister vibe, while Feifei is petite but combines both sexy and cute, a lively type. Each has their own charm, and Chu Heng’s gifts are undoubtedly given to those he likes, who look good in his eyes, and whose real faces don’t differ much from their live ones.

With Douyu so sluggish and quiet nowadays, the sudden appearance of this big spender, gifting gifts everywhere, has drawn the attention of all the streamers. Unfortunately, Chu Heng’s time on Douyu is random, and his gift-giving is completely unpredictable, a whim, but once he gives, it’s always Super Fire level. So, many streamers have become more active in starting their streams and streaming longer, giving viewers more to talk about.

The gossip streamers have discussed this many times, guessing where Chu Heng is from, what kind of big shot he is, whether he used to be on Douyu, whether he used to watch other platforms, where he’s from, what he does for work, whether he’s a shill, etc. But they seem to have chatted in vain.

Until now, nobody knows. Very few people have his WeChat. They can’t get any more information, only that this Big Brother is very casual with his gifts, and that he’s probably legit. Thanks to Lao Bai, Chu Heng gifted him twice, a total of 600,000 yuan, and Lao Bai has become much more generous with his red envelopes and benefits. In just half a month, he’s given away at least tens of thousands of yuan in benefits. Since he's usually so stingy, his sudden generosity suggests that Chu Heng's gifts definitely went into his pocket. It's ironic that he's advertising Chu Heng in a roundabout way. So, there are shills, but they're rare.

Several gossip streamers and Douyu news streamers all want Chu Heng to go to their live rooms. Even Douyu gossip news has been filled with news about him. He even looked it up himself and started to wonder, "Is this me? Am I being hyped up?" Before, weren’t all the big spenders the ones who gifted millions or even hundreds of millions? Douyu is filled with tales of big spenders gifting hundreds of millions, with assets of hundreds of billions or even trillions. My measly few million, I'm just a small fry.

Of course, there’s also some slander, but even if Chu Heng knew, he wouldn't care. After playing on Douyu for a long time, you know not to take things personally. The more you care, the more miserable you’ll be. Anyway, he just gifts to get system rebates. If he really isn’t enjoying Douyu, he’ll just go to Huya or Douyin. As long as it’s online, whatever platform he’s playing on, he’ll top up his account there.

Ignoring the online buzz, Chu Heng’s bank account now has over three million yuan. He's already bought his house and car. His living standards have gone up a level, making life more comfortable and enjoyable. He’s earned money, and he’s taken care of the basic necessities of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Then, he’s focused on exercising, improving his health, and learning new things. Chu Heng plans to steadily improve himself, step by step, until he becomes a real-life tycoon, a true wealthy individual, part of the upper class.

The internet is just a tool for him to make money.

His entertainment with streamers is merely a form of relaxation.

He has a feeling that when his spending reaches ten million, and his system upgrades to level 3, it will reward him with things that are more suitable for him, not just cash rebates. This is not just a rebate system, it’s an all-purpose system with unknown potential.

He still has eight million shark fins on his Douyu account, and the system replenishes 500,000 every day. In four days, his shark fins will exceed ten million, but he plans to wait ten days before going back to Douyu, leaving three million shark fins for later. He’ll spend ten million in one go, and see what new features the system unlocks when it upgrades to level 3. He’s incredibly excited.

For now, he’ll leave these streamers hanging. He’s curious to see what methods these female streamers who added him on WeChat will use to try and hook him. It’s going to be interesting.
