Thank you "Reader1565719590," "He Xi Xiao Zhou," and "Luochen Fei" for coming to support me—thank you, brothers, for your support!
So, he couldn’t be bothered to reply and simply tapped "Start Challenge" on his phone screen.
Instantly, Starry’s avatar was pulled onto the arena by a formidable force. Seeing this, Wander with the Wind immediately tapped on "Start Challenge" as well.
Consequently, the two were face to face, each sitting in a wide chair.
As the two readied themselves, a mechanical voice from the system immediately rang out in the arena.
Following that, the Cliff Currency in both their accounts was locked by the system.
At this point, if they wanted to gift, they had to recharge via the recharge interface that appeared in front of their characters.
Wander with the Wind was very direct and decisive; he had no intention of dragging things out with Starry.
After all, gifting involves real money—he’s no fool. Why would he give gifts to a female streamer he knew he was bound to lose to?
Impossible. Wander with the Wind knew that Old Gong was supporting Ya’er, so he definitely wouldn’t give Ya’er any gifts.
Plus, Wander with the Wind is no sucker. Why would he money to a streamer his enemy likes? Is he an idiot?
"Haha, that must be the fastest challenge in history!"
"He surrendered just like that, come on, Wander with the Wind, you’re too timid!"
"Please, that’s just Wander with the Wind being smart. Continuing to fight knowing fully well he’s no match for Starry is not a wise choice."
"True. Although Wander with the Wind surrendered, the upcoming battles are sure to be exciting, and they might still have a chance to win this fight!"
"The lower rank challenges the higher rank; it’s a well-thought strategy by Wander with the Wind and his team!"
"This shows that even Self Disturb and Single, Just Prince, admit they’re not Starry’s match!"
"Obviously. Starry can give away gifts worth a hundred thousand in one go. No one on the Endless live-streaming platform can compete with that!"
Everyone could understand why Wander with the Wind surrendered.
After all, Starry is just too strong, and no one dares to compete against him—it’s simply masochism.
"This guy, he’s really cunning!" Seeing Wander with the Wind surrender, both Li Changlin and Brother Grape felt incredibly frustrated.
But there was nothing they could do because on the challenge interface, the option to surrender was indeed available, and they couldn’t prevent the opponent from choosing it.
Following Wander with the Wind’s surrender, both were immediately taken out of the arena by the system.
At the same time, the system indeed declared Old Gong the winner of the round.
Even though Old Gong won a round, he did not receive any blessings or celebratory applause, as the viewers in the live stream were well aware the truly thrilling and spectacular battles were yet to come.
If Old Gong or Jiedai Bao Loan could win a following round, their side would naturally claim victory. However, such a scenario seemed unlikely with Self Disturb and Single, Just Prince, evidently not willing to give them that chance.
This made the situation even more exciting.
"Jiedai Bao Loan, I challenge you!" Just then, Self Disturb typed in the chat channel.
Li Changlin’s eyes narrowed slightly, vigilant against this individual.
However, knowing that Old Gong’s account was authorized by Zhou Xingxing, Li Changlin had nothing to fear.
Thus, he didn’t waste any words and directly raised his hand to tap "Start Challenge" on his phone.
Whoosh—instantly, his character was pulled up onto the arena by the system.
Following that, Self Disturb also rushed onto the stage.
The two sat down in their chairs, and before long, the system announced that the competition had started.
Thus, they immediately opened the recharge interface in front of their avatars and started recharging swiftly.
Although the account’s Cliff Currency was frozen, the character permissions were not affected.
Now, with the Jiedai Bao Loan account, Li Changlin could at least recharge five hundred thousand at a time, and he had no reason to hesitate, so he immediately chose to recharge to the maximum.
Quickly, five hundred thousand Cliff Currency was deposited, and Li Changlin started sending gifts right away.
At first, he chose to send perfume, which although could not reach ten thousand at one time, the cooldown was indeed three seconds shorter than Volcanic Eruption.
Do not underestimate those three seconds; in ten minutes, he could send out approximately fifty to sixty Volcanic Eruptions, as the cooldown time for sending gifts in competition arenas differs slightly from that in livestream rooms.
In the arena, the cooldown time for a Volcanic Eruption is ten seconds, whereas it’s only seven seconds for perfume, so the cooldown time held a significant advantage.
With speed and fluidity, Li Changlin sent gifts in quick succession, quickly dispatching two sets.
But just then, an Iron Scroll Elixir Book suddenly dropped down into the arena.
Self Disturb relied on his advantage and played such a trick on Li Changlin.
Suddenly, the value of the gifts Li Changlin had sent out dropped by fifty percent.
Dammit, seeing this turn of events, Brother Grape couldn’t help but curse fiercely.
Li Changlin was somewhat stunned, thinking there was no point in continuing to send gifts.
In such a situation, Self Disturb seemed to be in an invincible position.
Even if he sent the same number of gifts as Li Changlin, his wealth would far exceed Li Changlin’s.
What a dismal predicament.
"It’s over, there’s no point in competing!"
"You might as well concede defeat, Jiedai Bao Loan!"
"Now Old Gong must be getting nervous, and I have no idea what kind of secret weapon Prince still has up his sleeve!"
"I remember that Prince should have a Death Exemption Token, but I wonder if that could be effective in a brush-off competition?"
"Anyway, I’m not optimistic about my Old Gong; even if he has access to Prince’s main account, he is still using a subaccount now. Going head-to-head with a Prince, I bet Old Gong is going to be completely thrashed!"
"I’ll just quietly watch and stay silent."
The move of the Iron Scroll Elixir Book by Self Disturb suddenly left Li Changlin in an awkward situation.
Given this circumstance, the typical person would no doubt think that Li Changlin could do nothing but concede defeat at this point.
After all, continuing to brush gifts was pointless, and it was better to concede sooner rather than later.
Everyone, remembering how Follow The Wind had fared before, couldn’t help but think along these lines.
But would Li Changlin concede defeat?
Impossible, the answer was definitely not!
Even if he were to lose, he would lose thoroughly.
After all, this was also an opportunity to drag Self Disturb down.
Even though his own values had been greatly affected, Li Changlin didn’t care at all.
Firstly, he was determined to fight to the end without giving up, and secondly, just now, Brother Grape had also spoken up, telling him to continue brushing gifts.
After all, these were gifts meant for Ya’er; any chance to drag Self Disturb down even a bit was worth taking.
So in this situation, there was nothing left to say. Just do it.
