CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 212 PROVOCATION

Seeing these bullet comments, Xia Liang sneered disdainfully.

[Don’t worry. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are just paper tigers.]

With that said, another two thousand Super Rockets soared into the sky.

SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH...

"Your Big Brother Xia has sent Su Sannian a Super Rocket. Click to enter the stream and open a treasure chest."

"Your Big Brother Xia has sent Su Sannian a Super Rocket. Click to enter the stream and open a treasure chest."

...

Before the bullet comments could flood the screen, Xia Liang continued.

[To be honest, there’s no challenge in this Feiyu Star event at all. Since it started, not a single worthy opponent has shown up. If things are this boring, why don’t they all just group up and have a gift battle against me?]

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire stream exploded.

Even Su Yi was startled. He knew that Xia Liang’s statement was a provocation to every single God of Wealth on the Feiyu streaming platform. But when he remembered that Xia Liang still had a balance of over 960 million Yuan, he swallowed the words he was about to say.

[Holy shit! That statement from Summer God Hao is freaking badass!]

[Is Summer God Hao being serious?]

[Does he really think a little money makes him invincible? He has no idea how many Gods of Wealth are on Feiyu.]

[Hahaha! One guy challenging all the Gods of Wealth on Feiyu! What a legend! I’m going to spread the word!]

[I’m going too! I’m going too!]

...

Seeing viewers leaving the stream to spread the news in other channels, Xia Liang didn’t stop them. This was his intention all along. After all, gifting alone was nowhere near as fun as having a battle with a group of people. No matter what happened, Xia Liang wasn’t afraid.

After all... others were spending their hard-earned cash, while Xia Liang was basically cashing out the system’s money without a shred of remorse.

Su Yi, now understanding Xia Liang’s intentions, said with a beaming smile, "My Daddy Xia is just that domineering."

Seeing that neither of them was offering a clarification, even more viewers left the stream. Everyone loved a good spectacle and didn’t mind fanning the flames, so they immediately spread Xia Liang’s words far and wide.

[We’re from Su Sannian’s stream! Our Summer God Hao said he’s challenging all the Gods of Wealth on Feiyu!]

[Summer God Hao says there’s no one on the entire Feiyu platform who can put up a fight!]

[He says you should all team up! Otherwise, winning this Feiyu Star title is just too easy!]

[Summer God Hao wants you all to go to Chen Yu’s stream! He’s going to take you all on at once!]

It got to the point where viewers were spamming bullet comments in any stream with even a little bit of fame. At first, everyone thought it was a joke, but as more and more people joined in, the situation spiraled. To ignite this war, the audience held nothing back, hopping between all the major streams.

In just over ten minutes, every active Anchor on Feiyu knew what was happening. The platform’s other wealthy patrons, the tycoons, started getting annoyed. They were on Feiyu to have fun. If you wanted to spend, you could spend your own money. After all, dropping over thirty million in a stream required substantial financial backing.

But now, here came a wave of AOE damage. Who could tolerate that? For rich people, it was all about face. Now that the gauntlet had been thrown down, if everyone stayed silent, wouldn’t the headlines tomorrow say that all the Gods of Wealth on Feiyu were afraid of him?

Buddhas fight for a stick of incense; people fight for their pride.

Instantly, many of them began to speak out.

[Does he really think spending thirty million makes him king of the world?]

[It’s a lot of money, but he’s acting like no one else has any.]

[We’re all just here for fun. If he’s going to taunt everyone, that’s just boring.]

[Since he’s talking so tough, how about I give it a go?]

[Let’s get a hundred of us together. A million Feiyu Coins each, that’s a hundred million Feiyu Coins! What’s a mere thirty million? And he wants to take on all the big brothers on Feiyu alone?]

...

The matter caused a huge commotion.

Naturally, Chen Yu heard about it too. When he first heard the news, he didn’t believe it. After all, one person taking on all the Gods of Wealth on a platform was simply impossible. When he confirmed that Xia Liang had really said it, he was flooded with euphoria.

If it were a one-on-one battle, he might actually lose. But after Xia Liang’s declaration, many tycoons would surely be enraged enough to help him gain points. Just as Chen Yu was about to say something, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was the primary shareholder of the guild backing him.

Chen Yu quickly answered the call.

When he hung up, a look of pure ecstasy spread across his face. His boss had told him to fight boldly and without worry. Just moments ago, more than ten annoyed tycoons had agreed to help him rack up points unconditionally. Of course, the money for the gifts, minus Feiyu’s cut, would all be returned to them.

Even so, Chen Yu was overjoyed. He had thought the Feiyu Star title was out of his reach, but who would have thought Xia Liang would be so arrogant as to dig his own grave? Without another word, he simply changed his stream’s title.

"The Feiyu Star Will Be Mine Tomorrow!"

As soon as Chen Yu changed his stream title, viewers immediately noticed.

[What? Chen Yu changed his stream name!]

[The Feiyu Star Will Be Mine? That’s confident!]

[Look at him. The guild must have poured in more money, probably a lot.]

[But he’s up against Summer God Hao! The madman who dropped over thirty million! His power can’t be underestimated.]

...

Chen Yu saw all the bullet comments but didn’t say much, just letting the suspense build.

"You’ll all find out tomorrow. Getting too cocky isn’t a good thing," he said, his tone filled with warning.

At the same time, his words reached Su Yi’s stream.

[Chen Yu says not to get too cocky!]

[Chen Yu has made his declaration! The Feiyu Star is his for the taking!]

[He said to get ready for a beating!]

[Summer God Hao! Someone’s trying to snatch the Feiyu Star from Su Sannian!]

[Crush them! Long live Summer God Hao!]

...

The bullet comments were a mix of declarations of war, taunts, and words of encouragement. Xia Liang wasn’t too concerned. His account balance was the source of his confidence. He didn’t believe anyone would dare go against him with one billion Feiyu Coins.

Look at those people worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of Yuan. Most of their assets were tied up in real estate or stocks. It would be a struggle for them to produce even ten thousand Yuan in cash, let alone spend it on Feiyu gifts.

Xia Liang casually sent a message.

[We’ll settle this tomorrow. Alright, I’m logging off.]

With no more to say, he was about to exit.

But Su Yi suddenly called out to him.

"Wait! When are you coming back?"

Xia Liang’s heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, not again. Is he going to offer to pick me up from the airport too?

To avoid being picked up from the airport for the third time in one day, Xia Liang replied cautiously, "Not sure, it depends. If I’m quick, I might be back tomorrow."

"Oh."

Clearly, Su Yi looked disappointed as he muttered, "I was thinking if you had a set time, I could come pick you up."

That was close! Xia Liang breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for his quick wits. Otherwise, even if he had staggered the arrival times, he would have ended up making three trips to the airport.
