Chapter Seventy-Two: Caught You

"We can't give up! Our goddess is still dancing her heart out. If she sees we lost the PK, won't she be heartbroken?"
"Right! For her sake, we have to fight!"
"Everyone, put everything you've got into this. I'm going to ask my mom for another twenty thousand—I'll say it's for extra tutoring, she’ll definitely give it to me."
"Brothers, charge!"

With that, countless fans began frantically sending rockets again.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
A barrage of rockets soared across the screen, making the goddess's live broadcast computer flicker incessantly. She was so excited, her dancing couldn't keep up with the rhythm anymore.

Just dealing with a small streamer had already earned her so many gifts; later, when she faces the big streamers, who knows how much more she'll get. With all these gifts combined, tonight she was making a fortune. Even if she didn't win the overall PK championship in the end, it wouldn't be a loss!
Hahaha!

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaofan couldn't help but frown slightly.
He thought eighty thousand would be enough to clear this round. To his surprise, the opponent was quite persistent and managed to keep up.

But it didn't matter to him. It was only a matter of spending a bit more.
Thinking this, Yang Xiaofan sent another two hundred rockets.
The goddess's fans, having just finished their round of rockets and seeing the PK bar stabilize, barely had time to breathe a sigh of relief when, in a flash, Yang Xiaofan sent another four hundred thousand in gifts, causing them to nearly spit blood in fury.

Is he even human? Does he have so much money he doesn’t know where to spend it?
They were thousands of fans pooling their money, but on the other side, there was only Yang Xiaofan. Just one person!
One person spending four hundred thousand versus thousands pooling together—the concept was entirely different.

In Nuanxin's live room, her fans cheered wildly.
"Brother-in-law is amazing!"
"One point two million already! See? This is the power of brother-in-law."
"We warned you, but you wouldn't listen. Now you know just how formidable he is!"
"Still want to fight? Want to keep going? It's already at one point two million. If brother-in-law stops, we'll all help Doggy."

The goddess's fans, on the other hand, were completely demoralized.
What kind of joke is this?

How could they compete? Yang Xiaofan alone could crush them; they couldn't even raise their heads.
If they continued, they'd lose everything and still not win.
Besides, there were several PKs left. Even if they beat Qin Nuanxin, how would they face the others?
More importantly, Qin Nuanxin was an obscure streamer. Even if they won against her, there was nothing to boast about.

For a moment, all of the goddess's fans fell silent.
With no further support, as time ran out, the PK began its settlement.
PKs end either when someone surrenders or when time is up; otherwise, the two streamers could fight for days, and that wouldn't be much of a contest.

Seeing the PK enter settlement, the goddess put away her dancing, breathing heavily, and walked over with a bright smile.
In her mind, victory was certain. No need for any guesswork.

But!
Before she could reach her computer, the screen suddenly flashed a few bold words: "PK Failed."
In that instant, her legs went weak, nearly making her collapse.
"How is this possible?"
She stared wide-eyed at the unbelievable scene before her, feeling her worldview crumble.
She actually lost to an unknown streamer?
And the other side hadn't performed any talent at all?
This had to be a joke.
Could it be her fans weren’t strong enough? Didn’t send enough gifts?

But she clearly remembered seeing two rounds of insane rockets on the screen.
Was she seeing things?
Thinking this, she quickly checked her PK bar, only to discover her fans had sent over eighty thousand in gifts. Her PK points were at over eight hundred thousand!
That was no small sum.
But when she saw Qin Nuanxin’s PK bar, she instantly collapsed again.

One point two million!
That meant the other side had sent one hundred and twenty thousand gifts.
Was this a joke?
The opponent was just a small streamer—what kind of tycoon would spend so much money on her?

On screen, fans began apologizing to her.

"Goddess, we're sorry. We did all we could."
"Goddess, the opponent was too strong. We really couldn’t cope."

She forced a bitter smile, unable to blame her supporters. She couldn’t risk offending her benefactors, not if she wanted to keep going.
Summoning a smile, she comforted and thanked them:
"It's nothing; you all did your best. Thank you for your support. Today, I just ran into a strong opponent, so I guess it’s my bad luck."

Afterward, she congratulated Qin Nuanxin.
"Congratulations, Nuanxin. You win. I admit defeat."

Receiving praise from a true top streamer, Qin Nuanxin blushed slightly, bashful as she replied,
"Thank you, Sister."
"No worries. Add me on WeChat later—we can interact more."
"Okay."

Originally, a small streamer like Qin Nuanxin wouldn't even have caught her eye.
But since she had a wealthy backer, the goddess decided to give her some face. Who knows, good fortune might come to her in the future.

Sure enough, as soon as she and Qin Nuanxin exchanged WeChat contacts, her live room lit up with another twenty super rockets.
Forty thousand!
Yang Xiaofan sent them—not so much to help Qin Nuanxin, but to lure some fans over.
Since the goddess had lost the PK, her live broadcast no longer needed a large fan base.
But when he faced Chen Yi next, he’d need a bigger crowd for the spectacle.
Seeing the gifts, the goddess immediately squinted her eyes and smiled,
"Thank you for your support, brother-in-law. My live broadcast ends here today. I hope you all support Nuanxin, and support brother-in-law as well."

Clearly, she knew how to play the game.
Having received benefits, she had to deliver.
That way, more benefits would come her way in the future.

Once the goddess went offline, Qin Nuanxin began a new round of PK.
And this time, as soon as the screens connected, Yang Xiaofan saw Chen Yi’s excessively pale face.
He couldn’t help but curl his lips in a sly smile.
"You little witch, I’ve finally waited for you. Tonight, if I don’t have some fun with you, I’ll take your surname!"
