Chapter 70: I Have No Talent, But My Brother-in-law Is Wealthy—That’s More Than Enough
"Ahem... I didn’t expect my brother-in-law to be so fierce, dropping fifty rockets right away. Brothers and sisters, you have to help me out here. I don’t have a brother-in-law, I only have you."
It had to be admitted that Lin Shuishui’s pitiful act was quite effective. Besides, her fans had already planned to help her secure the PK victory and advance to the next round; they simply hadn’t taken Qin Nuanxin seriously before. Now that Qin Nuanxin had Yang Xiaofan backing her, there was no way they could just let her off so easily.
As a result, several wealthy fans immediately started throwing rockets as well.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Lin Shuishui’s stream was soon ablaze with countless rockets, quickly pushing her PK bar to a million, which meant her fans had already given her a hundred thousand in gifts.
Lin Shuishui squinted her eyes again, her smile crescent-shaped, her lips as sweet as if dipped in honey.
"Thank you all so much. I just love you to death," she cooed.
But before she could fully enjoy her triumph, Yang Xiaofan started spamming rockets again—this time, to save time, he went straight for super rockets. Each one cost two thousand, equivalent to four regular five-hundred rockets.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred super rockets flew out, meaning Yang Xiaofan had just spent two hundred thousand, and Qin Nuanxin’s PK bar rocketed up to 225,000.
"Holy crap!"
"Brother-in-law’s got style!"
"What did you expect? Brother-in-law drives a Ferrari. This kind of money is nothing to him!"
"Incredible! I’m floored!"
Qin Nuanxin’s stream erupted once more. Yang Xiaofan was spending money with no limits—casually tossing out over two hundred thousand in an instant. Only the fans of the very top streamers could even dream of playing at this level.
The regulars in Lin Shuishui’s stream simply weren’t in the same league.
Lin Shuishui was utterly dejected. It wasn’t that she couldn’t keep up—she was confident she could match the two hundred thousand. But doing so would drain her resources significantly. And who knew if Yang Xiaofan would simply reload and outspend her again?
If he did, what then? Just to beat Qin Nuanxin, she’d have to exhaust herself, making it impossible to advance further. There would be no point in burning out in the first round.
Besides, even if she wanted to fight back, her wealthy fans would have to be willing to go all in as well.
Sure enough, her fan club president soon messaged her directly on WeChat, letting her know that this was as far as they could go in today’s PK; they simply couldn’t compete with Yang Xiaofan.
There was nothing to be done—this wasn’t a matter of numbers, but of money.
Money!
Yang Xiaofan had too much of it. One of him was worth more than all of them combined. They simply couldn’t fight this battle.
Lin Shuishui understood her fans’ predicament. She could only respond with a bitter smile, saying it was fine, and then conceded the PK to Qin Nuanxin.
Even at that moment, Qin Nuanxin was still utterly bewildered.
She’d won just like that? She, who had done absolutely nothing, had just defeated a streamer with over a million fans?
And the other side had even sung a song, yet she’d still won.
At that moment, Qin Nuanxin truly felt the terrifying power of Yang Xiaofan.
By now, quite a few viewers from Lin Shuishui’s stream had flocked to Qin Nuanxin’s room.
"Shuishui lost today, so we’re not leaving this stream."
"Yeah, we want to see just how much money brother-in-law has."
"Too unfair to our Shuishui! I want to see brother-in-law and the little sister-in-law get a taste of their own medicine."
Soon, the second round of PK began, and this time her opponent was a very handsome young man.
Qin Nuanxin recognized him at once—Da Long, a recently popular top-tier game streamer. With his delicate looks, sharp streaming style, and formidable gaming skills, his following was even slightly larger than Lin Shuishui’s.
At the very least, his fan count had surpassed two million.
After entering, he spotted Qin Nuanxin and his eyes lit up.
"Oh, what a beautiful young lady," he exclaimed.
Qin Nuanxin greeted him politely. "Hello, I’m Nuanxin."
"Nuanxin, seeing such a beautiful streamer, I almost can’t bear to go up against you. But I’m aiming to win tonight’s PK, so I’ll have to apologize in advance."
Qin Nuanxin nodded and silently opened the PK bar.
With her brother-in-law around, all she had to do was open the PK.
The moment the PK bar appeared, Yang Xiaofan started spamming super rockets again without a word.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
He was already impatient to trample that wretch Xiao Yiyi—he couldn’t be bothered to waste time with these million-follower streamers.
Da Long took a sip of tea, preparing to square off against Qin Nuanxin, but before the tea had even reached his throat, he saw Qin Nuanxin’s PK bar surge ahead at breakneck speed.
He was instantly shattered.
"Pfft—! Cough, cough, cough..."
Da Long spewed his tea, choking and coughing, eyes wide as he watched Qin Nuanxin’s PK bar soar to five million!
That meant Yang Xiaofan had already thrown in half a million—two hundred super rockets!
How was he supposed to fight that?
Though his fans were united, most were just ordinary people. No matter how large the base, it was still limited. And faced with Yang Xiaofan’s crushing power, they didn’t even have the courage to put up a fight.
"Well, I didn’t expect you to be so formidable, beautiful lady. I admit defeat—goodbye."
With that, Da Long ended the PK and conceded.
The chat exploded once again.
"Incredible! I have no words."
"Brother-in-law is just too rich—inhumanly so! No hesitation, fifty grand right off the bat. Forget Da Long—even Da Long and Shuishui together wouldn’t dare act cocky."
"Da Long is so unlucky—of all people, he had to run into brother-in-law. Serves him right!"
"Blame it on brother-in-law being too OP!"
After two consecutive wins, even Qin Nuanxin herself felt a little giddy.
So this was what it felt like to defeat million-follower streamers?
It was exhilarating—she felt unstoppable.
So, without waiting for another challenge, she took the initiative and sought out a new PK. This time, her opponent was a dance streamer known as Teacher Dai Dai. With a perfect figure and flowing, beautiful hair, she was almost unreal in her beauty.
"Oh, a streamer I’ve never seen before. Hello, Sister Nuanxin," Teacher Dai Dai greeted her.
Qin Nuanxin smiled and replied, "Hello."
