Chapter 5: The Mysterious Big Brother
Chen Feng stared at the livestream, the plan locking into place with terrifying clarity.
He trusted Xinyi completely. It was the predatory wolves in her chat he didn't trust for a second. He had money now—an absurd, almost criminal amount of it—backed by a system just begging for an excuse to tear through cash.
He tapped open the Douyin recharge page.
Conversion Rate: 1 Yuan = 1 Douyin Coin.
He didn't hesitate. He entered a custom amount, his thumb firm and steady. 3 hours ago, a number like this would have given him a heart attack. Now? It was just ammunition.
Amount: ¥10,000,000.
Click.
[DING!]
【Recharge Successful! 10,000,000 Douyin Coins Credited!】
【Eligible Expenditure Detected! [100× Cashback System] Activated!】
【¥10,000,000 × 100 = ¥1,000,000,000 (1 Billion Yuan) Liquid Cash Transferring...】
【Transaction Complete! Tax-Exempt Funds Deposited into Host's Primary Account.】
Chen Feng sat completely still for three seconds. He pulled down his mobile banking notification shade and watched his balance skyrocket past a number with so many zeros it looked like a phone number.
Balance: ¥1,090,000,286.40
"One billion..." he muttered, a slow, dangerously wicked smirk spreading across his face. "I spent ten million and the system handed me a billion in liquid cash. This thing is an absolute cheat!"
He immediately swiped over to profile customization. With the ruthless efficiency of a veteran w*******l reader, he typed in a new, domineering handle: 【Celestial Emperor】.
He tapped back into Xinyi's stream.
"Alright, little sister," he murmured into the dark room. "Let your real big brother show these digital beggars what a true Shenhao looks like."
In her female dorm room, Chen Xinyi was bowing politely to the camera, thanking a viewer for a single digital rose. Her voice was sweet, but the exhaustion behind her eyes was palpable.
There were barely 47 people in her room. Brother Wolf had just dropped a cheap 6-yuan rose effect, accompanied by a greasy, condescending message about how he could "take good care of a sweet girl like her."
"Thank you, Brother Wolf..." Xinyi said softly, her smile strained as she tried to hide her discomfort. "I really..."
BOOM!
Before she could finish her sentence, her entire phone screen detonated in a blinding cascade of crystal light!
【System Notice: User [Celestial Emperor] has gifted Streamer [Xinyi] a Crystal Bouquet (1,000 Coins / ¥1,000) ×1!】
【System Notice: User [Celestial Emperor] has gifted Streamer [Xinyi] a Crystal Bouquet (1,000 Coins / ¥1,000) ×10!】
【System Notice: User [Celestial Emperor] has gifted Streamer [Xinyi] a Crystal Bouquet (1,000 Coins / ¥1,000) ×100!】
"Eh?! EH?!" Xinyi’s eyes went wide as saucers.
The gift animation didn't just play—it flooded her display! Crystal roses bloomed across her screen in a blinding, sparkling storm. The combo counter in the bottom right corner started spinning like an insane slot machine!
Combo x100... x300... x500!!
In less than three seconds, 500 Crystal Bouquets (500,000 Coins / ¥500,000 Cash Drop) rained down!
Xinyi slapped both hands over her mouth, her voice catching in her throat. "W-What?! Thank you... Thank you so much, Celestial Emperor! But this... this is too much—"
The chat log, dead two seconds ago, shattered into absolute madness!
【WTF?! 500 CRYSTAL BOUQUETS IN ONE SECOND?!】
【THAT’S 500,000 COINS! HALF A MILLION YUAN CASH DROP!!】
【Who the hell is Celestial Emperor?! Which super-whale just landed?!】
【@Brother Wolf Bro, your ¥6 rose is currently crying in a dark corner HAHAHA!】
【Brother Wolf has left the room.】
Brother Wolf, who had been talking so big about "taking care of her," vanished instantly out of sheer embarrassment.
In room 402, Chen Feng didn't even c***k a smile. 500k? That was barely an appetizer.
He tapped the high-tier gift menu and selected the site-wide crown gift: The Diamond Crown.
Cost: 10,000 Coins (¥10,000 per drop).
He slammed his thumb down on the send button. Once. Twice. Ten times. He set it to auto-repeat and let it rip!
ROAR—!!!!!
A massive, golden crown wrapped in sparkling diamonds floated across Xinyi's screen, accompanied by screen-shaking bass rumble and blinding particle effects!
【System Notice: User [Celestial Emperor] has gifted Streamer [Xinyi] a Diamond Crown (10,000 Coins / ¥10,000) ×1!】
【System Notice: User [Celestial Emperor] has gifted Streamer [Xinyi] a Diamond Crown (10,000 Coins / ¥10,000) ×10!】
【System Notice: User [Celestial Emperor] has gifted Streamer [Xinyi] a Diamond Crown (10,000 Coins / ¥10,000) ×50!】
Combo x100!!
ONE MILLION YUAN IN A SINGLE BURST!
BAM!
The global Douyin server triggered its highest-priority platform protocol! A glowing, multi-colored server-wide banner slammed across the top of EVERY SINGLE LIVESTREAM ON THE ENTIRE DOUYIN PLATFORM:
【GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Super-Whale [Celestial Emperor] has dropped 100x Diamond Crowns (¥1,000,000) in Streamer [Xinyi]'s room! Click HERE to join the Treasure Rain!】
Two cities away, a top-tier gaming streamer with 2,000,000 followers froze mid-match, his jaw dropping as the golden banner took over his screen.
"Hold on... WHAT?! A million-yuan single-burst gift banner?! Chat, did you guys see that?!"
His chat went totally wild:
【A MILLION YUAN IN ONE GO?!】
【WHO IS THIS XINYI STREAMER?! IS SHE A GODDESS OR WHAT?!】
【CLICK THE BANNER! GO TO HER ROOM! NOW!】
In five seconds, over 30,000 viewers instantly deserted his stream, clicking the banner link like crazy!
Across the platform, thousands of streams stalled out. Singing hosts stopped mid-chorus. PK streamers halted their battles. E-sports commentators went silent. Millions of viewers across China clicked the golden notification simultaneously!
In Xinyi’s room, the online counter exploded!
47 Viewers... 5,000 Viewers... 80,000 Viewers... 500,000 Viewers!!
ONE MILLION LIVE VIEWERS IN THREE MINUTES!
The comment section was scrolling so violently it was a total blur of hype:
【I CAME FROM THE GLOBAL BANNER! WHERE IS THE SUPREME GOD-WHALE?!】
【MY GOD, THE STREAMER IS ACTUALLY A TOP-TIER NATURAL BEAUTY!!】
【FORGET THE BEAUTY, LOOK AT THE GIFT COMBOS! IT'S STILL GOING!】
【CELESTIAL EMPEROR, PLEASE ACCEPT MY KNEES!! 🙇♂️🙇♂️】
【IS THIS A MILLIONAIRE OR A TRILLIONAIRE LORD ENJOYING LIFE?!】
Xinyi sat glued to her seat, her ring light reflecting off the unshed tears in her eyes. Her brain couldn't compute the numbers spinning on her screen. Her channel rank, which used to be unranked, instantly smashed into the #1 SPOT ON DOUYIN'S OVERALL HOURLY LEADERBOARD!
Second place was a top-tier agency streamer backed by an entire corporate company who had spent ¥100,000 all night. Celestial Emperor had crushed them in ten seconds flat.
"Celestial Emperor... please..." Xinyi’s voice was trembling uncontrollably, her hands clasped tightly against her chest. "Thank you... thank you so much! But please, don't spend any more! I... I don't know how to repay this..."
In his dorm, Chen Feng leaned back comfortably against his pillow, tapping his screen with absolute nonchalance.
Repay it? She was his twin sister. Everything he had was hers!
He held down the continuous gift button until he hit the target.
Diamond Crown x200... x500... x800... x950!!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The system global announcements fired off like artillery strikes!
[GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Celestial Emperor dropped ¥2,000,000!]
[GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Celestial Emperor dropped ¥5,000,000!]
[GLOBAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Celestial Emperor dropped ¥10,000,000!]
TEN MILLION YUAN / 10,000,000 COINS CASH SPENT IN LESS THAN TEN MINUTES!
The entire Douyin server lagged under the sheer weight of the particle effects. Top official verified streamers were dropping into her chat just to pay respects:
【Official Verified Streamer [PK King]: Boss Emperor, do you need a follower? I can dance, sing, and carry you in games! 🙏】
【Popular Host [Lady Red]: Big Brother Emperor, please take a look at my channel sometime! 💕】
When the final crown animation ended, the room settled into an awe-struck, dead silence, despite over 1.5 million viewers watching live.
Chen Feng looked at his sister's face on the screen. The worry, stress, and quiet despair that had plagued her for years were completely gone—replaced by overwhelming shock, absolute security, and pure joy.
You'll never have to bow your head or worry about money ever again, Xinyi, Chen Feng thought softly.
Without typing a single word in the chat, without leaving a handle or asking for WeChat, Chen Feng simply swiped down and closed the app.
A true Shenhao never explains. The flex speaks for itself.
"E-Eh?! Celestial Emperor... left?"
Xinyi stared at her viewer list. The golden account name 【Celestial Emperor (Level 120 Supreme God)】 had silently logged off.
The chat went completely insane!
【HE LEFT?! JUST LIKE THAT?!】
【DROPPED 10 MILLION COINS / ¥10,000,000 CASH AND DIDN'T EVEN SAY A SINGLE WORD?!】
【HE DIDN'T EVEN ASK FOR HER WECHAT! THIS IS A REAL SUPREME SHENHAO!!】
【NO WORDS, NO FLEXING IN CHAT, JUST RAW TEN-MILLION-YUAN DOMINANCE!!】
【Other 'rich guys' ask for private photos after gifting 100 bucks. Celestial Emperor drops 10 million and vanishes into the night like a ghost! RESPECT!!】
Xinyi leaned close to her camera, her heart hammering against her ribs, completely overwhelmed.
Her personal account backend showed her live earnings payout: after Douyin’s 50% platform split, her share was a staggering ¥5,000,000 NET CASH available for immediate withdrawal to her bank account!
Her phone was vibrating like crazy with thousands of new notifications, follower alerts, and media inquiries. But all she could do was stare at the empty #1 spot on her contributor board, where the golden title sat alone.
#1 Contributor: 【Celestial Emperor】 — 10,000,000 Coins (¥10,000,000)
Xinyi touched her screen gently, whispering to the empty air in awe:
"Who... who are you really?"
