Starting to use sarcasm, are we?
Although Muzi disagreed with Jiang Yun's suggestion, the viewers in her live stream certainly agreed!
"Fine, fine, ten thousand yuan, right? Should I turn on my computer right now then?"
"Are you going to transfer ten thousand directly to me, or should I take the boys down to the internet cafe and take fifty thousand from you?"
"I suggest you just transfer ten thousand to me directly, that way you'll lose a little less!"
"Brother Yun always delivers, starts right off the bat with ten thousand."
"Brother Yun has already thrown down the challenge, Muzi, you can't chicken out! What's one person getting ten thousand? Make it twenty thousand per person!"
"............"
Watching the audience in the stream try to stir up trouble, Muzi rolled her eyes and said, "Transfer ten thousand directly to you? Otherwise you'll come to the internet cafe to hunt me down? We'll see if you actually manage to catch me first! Besides, I never agreed to this ten thousand yuan business either; go ask Brother Yun for it, he's the truly wealthy brother here."
Hearing Muzi's words, Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Muzi is always like this, so stingy. If I were the one broadcasting, forget ten thousand per person, what's a million?! Too bad Douyin doesn't allow League of Legends streaming right now, otherwise I'd definitely hand out some benefits to you guys."
Jiang Yun's words prompted agreement from Zhou Muer and Sister Tuo.
"Since Brother Yun has said so, I, Sister Diao, will add another million! It's just a shame Douyin doesn't let us broadcast League of Legends right now. Brothers, remember this, Douyin owes you two million!"
"Since you've all said that, I'll chip in a million too! But I'm not broadcasting right now, what a pity!"
The three of them talking absolute nonsense prompted Muzi to roast them: "That was truly a whole lot of words that meant absolutely nothing. What's the difference between what you said and saying nothing at all? Tuntun, don't you think so?"
Just when she expected Tuntun to join in on roasting them with her, Tuntun instead said, "How about this: they're all just talking big, but I'll actually walk the walk. If any of you manage to snipe us and win, one thousand yuan per person, alright? I don't have a huge amount to spare, but bleeding a little bit is fine."
As soon as Tuntun said this, Muzi couldn't help teasing: "Wow, Tuntun, you're really losing your mind chasing after traffic, aren't you?"
You have to realize that the only two currently streaming were Muzi and Tuntun.
Initially, both of them were riding on Jiang Yun's traffic, so their viewer counts were roughly about the same.
However, with Tuntun saying this, the vast majority of Jiang Yun's fans would undoubtedly look upon her more favorably. Not to mention jumping ship from Muzi's stream to hers, at the very least they would go over and follow her.
Tuntun didn't even bother to hide her intention of grabbing traffic, smiling as she said bluntly, "Well, it's rare to get a chance to ride Brother Yun's traffic, how could I not seize the opportunity properly? Besides, Brother Yun previously gifted me a million-yuan worth of treasure maps, so it's only natural for me to give back a little to his fans."
Tuntun's words made Muzi feel quite comfortable.
Although she openly stated her desire for traffic, she found a good excuse and kept Muzi from being put on the spot.
After all, last time Jiang Yun only gifted 20 treasure maps in Muzi's stream—amounting to a hundred thousand yuan—while he gifted 200 in Tuntun's stream, a full one million. At a time like this, she was indeed the most appropriate person to hand out rewards to Jiang Yun's fans.
However, neither of them could have anticipated that there was a troublemaker in their midst...
[User Jiang Yun gifted streamer Muzi Treasure Map * 200!]
A massive flurry of special effects for virtual gifts flooded Muzi's live stream, completely leaving her dumbfounded.
Before she could even react, Jiang Yun's voice came through the team voice chat: "Muzi, I've gifted you a million too. Go ahead, time for your performance."
Tuntun: .......
"Brother Yun, are you deliberately undermining me?" Tuntun said with a hint of grievance.
Jiang Yun replied nonchalantly, "Hey, I didn't do it on purpose. I just suddenly noticed I still had some Tiger Coins left in my inventory, so I used some up."
The system had previously rewarded him with ten million Tiger Coins, but he had only spent a little over a million, leaving 8.9 million unspent.
As a result, he had been too busy these past few days and completely forgot about it, missing the cashback period.
Now, whenever he gifted items, they were purely gifts without any cashback rebate.
Otherwise, he might have just dumped all 8.9 million on Muzi in one go.
Even though he no longer had cashback, these gifts were still hard cash for Muzi.
Recovering her wits, she immediately chimed in: "Since Brother Yun is being so generous, I can't be stingy either. Just like Tuntun, anyone who successfully snipes and beats us gets one thousand per person, deal?"
Hearing Muzi's words, the viewers in the stream immediately started stirring up chaos.
"Tuntun put up a thousand, and you're putting up a thousand too? Where's your face value?"
"You got a million and you're only putting out a thousand? You're such a disappointment!"
"If Brother Yun gifted me a million, I'd give it all away! Of course, if he actually did it, pretend I said nothing."
"One thousand per person? If foreigners next door see this, they'll think we can't afford it. Let me name a figure: one hundred thousand! One hundred thousand per person!"
"Brother Yun: You guys ride my traffic, and you still want me to pay for the rewards?"
"............"
Amidst the instigation from the audience, the game officially began.
Whether due to sheer bad luck or something else, as soon as they entered the match, an opposing player typed in the all-chat: "Got you, Brother Yun!"
Muzi: ......
Tuntun: ......
Good grief, starting to bleed right from the get-go?
After all, everyone knew full well that against professional stream snipers, their team basically had only one outcome: defeat.
Yet Jiang Yun appeared completely unbothered, smiling as he comforted the others: "It's fine, so what if they sniped us? Today, I'm going to show them who the true king of this canyon is!"
"Alright, Brother Yun, pull out all your signature moves, we're going to slaughter their bot lane straight through!"
"Don't worry, I'll come gank your bot lane more often."
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!!!"
14 minutes later...
"There's less than a minute left before we can surrender. I hope no one on our team is going to be uncooperative, you guys know what I mean, right?" Jiang Yun said with a wry smile.
Right as he finished speaking, Muzi said, "I voted yes."
Tuntun followed closely behind: "I started the vote."
With five votes in favor, the glaring red word "DEFEAT" flashed before everyone's eyes.
After adding each other as friends, Muzi and Tuntun transferred the rewards they had promised to their opponents via Alipay.
Once the transfers were complete, Tuntun complained, "I didn't earn a single cent today, and I'm already down five thousand."
Hearing this, Muzi kindly comforted her, "It's fine, this is just the beginning. You'll lose even more later."
"Thanks a lot, huh!"
"Don't mention it, we're all brothers, we can lose money together."
Listening to their conversation, Sister Diao and Sister Tuo couldn't help feeling a bit schadenfreude.
"Good thing I'm not broadcasting."
"Me too. Good thing Douyin doesn't let us stream League of Legends right now, otherwise I'd be losing money along with them."
No sooner had they finished speaking than Muzi's sarcastic voice rang out: "Oh, Tuntun, how much tax do you suppose gets deducted from 200 treasure maps? Must be quite a lot, right?"
Tuntun understood Muzi's intent immediately and chimed in with equal sarcasm, "Who knows? But it's probably way more than the prize money we handed out today, right?"
Sister Diao: ........
Sister Tuo: .........
Very well, so we're throwing shade now, are we?
