Chapter 118: Chapter 113: I Have Connections Above, I Can Help You Defy Fate! Chapter 118: Chapter 113: I Have Connections Above, I Can Help You Defy Fate! Zheng Heâs eyes sparkled as the screen filled with gifts.
He had no idea how much these gifts were worth, but judging by the classy animation effects, he guessed they werenât cheap!
âThank you, my family!â Zheng He was so thrilled that he quickly bowed again, imitating the live streamer he had seen earlier today at the square, thanking everyone by reading out their names.
But there were too many to thank; he simply couldnât keep up.
Zheng He felt like he was about to strike it rich!!
Chen Xixi, who only ever freeloaded, was nothing!
Begging was even beneath him!
After all, itâs much easier to trick⦠ahem, earn money from his family!
The live streamâs comment section went wild instantly.
[OMG! Are people really giving gifts to Zheng He?! No way, right? And the gifts seem quite substantial. Does this mean Zheng He is going to overtake Chen Xixi and become the new Money Saving King?]
[Chen Xixi has been diligently saving money for over half a month, yet Zheng He manages to outdo her with just a few minutes of begging. This is so dramatic!]
[But is it really okay for Zheng He to directly ask everyone for money like this? Isnât other peopleâs money still money? I canât understand why anyone would sympathize with Zheng He.]
[To me, Zheng He is basically robbing people now, playing up his plight to viewers and asking fans to send gifts. This behavior is disgusting!]
There were netizens who sympathized with Zheng He and those who disapproved of his internet begging antics. Many viewers switched to other guestsâ live streams, causing his popularity to drop significantly.
Some wandered into Han Qianyi and Wan Chenâs live streams, only to findâ¦
Han Qianyi and Wan Chen were also begging online!
Wan Chen had just left to go back to the burger joint to charge his phone. As he charged, he registered for a live streaming account.
Although he had other plans to win, he didnât want to spend the night on the streets at all.
Wan Chen wasnât experienced in begging. The last time he begged was under Zheng Heâs lead, and it was easier with thick skin and many people around, so he didnât feel it was a big deal.
But now, asking for money like Zheng He, by playing up a pitiful act to the netizens, he felt embarrassed and struggled to open his mouth.
Wan Chen saw the continuously increasing number of viewers in his live stream. He cleared his throat uncomfortably, rubbed his hands, coughed several times, but found himself unable to articulate his request.
It was a smart viewer who guessed what Wan Chenâs troubled expression meant.
[Do you want us to send you gifts so you can get money for a place to stay?]
Wan Chen saw this comment and breathed a sigh of relief, nodding, âYes, family, thatâs right⦠Iâm also looking for a place to stay, and Iâd like everyone to help out⦠Thank you allâ¦â
Wan Chen didnât have a strong presence on the show, so he didnât have many fans.
Even so, he received quite a few gifts.
Wan Chen never imagined that online begging could be so easy!
After he made his request, the gifts started pouring in.
Wan Chen was amazed!
And Han Qianyi, watching at his side, was stunned!
Was begging really that easy?
Both Wan Chen and Zheng He were begging; if she didnât do it, sheâd be the only one sleeping on the streets tonight.
For a girl alone late at night⦠just the thought was so upsetting.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Qianyi finally opened her live stream.
But she felt even more ashamed than Wan Chen to ask the viewers for money, something an Oscar-winning actress shouldnât be doing.
Soâ¦
She pursed her lips and silently turned the phone camera to the rear camera.
It seemed like she was holding the phone and live streaming, but actually, her live stream showed an uncomfortable Wan Chen trying to get giftsâ¦
It was equivalent to Wan Chen begging in two different live streams, one of which he was unwittingly doing on behalf of Han Qianyi without her knowledge.
The viewers were confused!
[Did I enter the wrong live stream? Why is Wan Chen in Han Qianyiâs live stream? Where is Han Qianyi?]
[I donât know, but this indeed is Han Qianyiâs live broadcast room!]
[Doesnât matter, as long as Iâm in the right broadcast room. Everyone has gifts, kind-hearted Qianyi shouldnât be without! Besides, a girl sleeping on the streets is really too unsafe. Family, here I start with my tribute!]
[You start, Iâll follow up right after!]
[Iâm dying of laughter! Just came over from the program crewâs live broadcast and witnessed Han Qianyi with her phone facing Wan Chen, making the completely clueless Wan Chen beg for her hahaha!]
[Hahaha, I wouldnât have believed it if I hadnât seen it with my own eyes, itâs incredible that Han Qianyi could come up with such a cunning move!]
[I feel like âMoney Saving Battleâ should just be renamed âBegging Battleâ haha!]
[Doesnât the production team manage such things? Is it really okay for them to directly ask the audience for money like this? And isnât this supposed to be a show about saving money? Why are the guests asking viewers to spend money sending them gifts?
Could it be that they save their own money but make the audience pay for their living expenses? Isnât this complete nonsense? Taking the audience for fools?]
Zheng He, Wan Chen and Han Qianyi are all begging in their live broadcasts, and all three have raked in quite a haul.
Itâs mainly the hardcore fans who are putting in a lot of effort, most of the viewers are staying rational, just watching the excitement and not spending money.
The behavior of these three has sparked a lot of discussion online.
Thereâs both sympathy and aversion.
Most netizens are not fools; compared to Chen Xixi, everyone feels that Chen Xixiâs character withstands scrutiny.
After all, in the previous Mysterious Things APP incident, Chen Xixi stood with the netizens, helping them to fleece the unscrupulous capitalists.
Unlike Zheng He and the others, fleecing the netizens themselves.
The comparison made it clear whoâs superior.
Thanks to the contrast provided by her peers, Chen Xixiâs popularity surged once more.
But regarding todayâs financial ranking, things arenât looking too optimistic for Chen Xixi.
The title of Money Saving King has changed hands.
Now in first place is Zheng He, with a balance of 5721 Money, just 8 Money more than Chen Xixi.
Zheng He managed to beg for so much money purely because he was so desperately into it tonight!
Sitting under a bridge, he pled poverty and sold his sob story, recounting the whole heartfelt journey of being cheated, duping the netizens into continuously sending him gifts to comfort him.
Second place is Chen Xixi, with a balance of 5713 Money.
Third is Han Qianyi, with a balance of 2989 Money.
Han Qianyi managed to beg so much purely because of the good-hearted image she had established before, while not being very appealing in this show, she is inherently good, so people are willing to help such a kind-hearted person.
Moreover, as a girl, even if she wasnât on camera personally asking for gifts, netizens tended to sympathize with her more and were more tolerant towards her.
Fourth is Wan Chen, with a balance of 2876 Money. Wan Chen has low presence in the show, but his good looks still attract a subset of fans and wealthy women to send him gifts.
Even just now a female fan was flirting with him while sending gifts, boldly claiming she wanted him to come back with her.
Wan Chen turned red from his ears to his neck by the teasing.
Fifth is Jin Cheng, with a balance of 56 Money.
After viewing tonightâs financial rankings, the netizens almost went crazy!
[Holy shit! Zheng He actually got first place! Didnât the show make a mistake? Or are my eyes deceiving me?]
[I canât believe it, I simply canât! The always-deceived Zheng He actually managed to clinch the Money Saving King title! This is so unexpected!]
[Chen Xixi, hurry up and start your live broadcast, I want to send gifts to Chen Xixi! If others have it, I wonât allow Chen Xixi to go without!]
[Chen Xixi who has been sitting firmly in the first spot for 18 days has fallen on the 19th day!]
[I want to send gifts to Xixi, I canât accept Chen Xixi not being number one! Itâs just an 8 Money difference! I will help Chen Xixi catch up!]
The finally crowned Money Saving King, Zheng He is ecstatic.
He just canât contain the joy on his face.
Chen Xixi? He doesnât take her seriously at all!
Just as Zheng He was finishing his live broadcast and preparing to leave, an elderly voice sounded beside him: âYoung man, I see darkness in your forehead, which indicates a life of many hardships and unavoidable trials. But donât worry, youâve encountered me, and all of these can be easily resolved because I have connections above, able to help you defy destiny!â
