Chapter 614 - 316: There’s Such a Good Thing?

Chapter 614: Chapter 316: There’s Such a Good Thing?

Chen Jincheng was completely dumbfounded by the lightning strike.

He just remembered he was saddled with a special, bizarre BUFF: the Scumbag Thunder-Summoning Technique.

He subconsciously checked the BUFF’s description on the info panel in his mind:

[Scumbag Thunder-Summoning Technique: A special BUFF. During rainy weather, if the host has a woman nearby and swears to the heavens that he is not a scumbag, a clap of thunder is guaranteed to follow.]

’Wait, that’s not right. I swore "If I’m not a scumbag, may lightning strike me dead..."’

’Er...’

’So... am I a scumbag or not?’

It wasn’t just him. The viewers in the livestream chat were shocked too.

The timing of that thunder was a little too perfect. The moment Chen Jincheng finished his oath, it struck.

"Cheng still says he’s not a scumbag, and the heavens... no, wait. Didn’t he just swear ’strike me dead if I’m not a scumbag?’ Holy shit, are you blind up there, God?"

"So he’s not a scumbag? The heavens are blind..."

"Heaven is blind."

"..."

Sister Hong, who was taking shelter from the rain and waiting for an umbrella, was the most speechless of all.

She knew better than anyone what kind of person her boss was.

’How did the heavens have the nerve to strike him for *that* oath?’

Sister Hehe’s eyes, however, lit up. She shook his arm excitedly. "See? See? Even the heavens can’t stand you lying! It proves you’re not a scumbag! Otherwise, how could the timing of that thunder be so perfect?"

"So, you can no longer use the ’I’m a scumbag’ excuse to reject me."

Chen Jincheng was utterly exasperated. ’I really *am* a scumbag!’

’He’d finally admitted the truth for once, so why wouldn’t she believe him?’

Just then, Chen Jincheng saw donations for 10 Carnivals scroll across the livestream chat.

It was a donation from a long-time fan with a level-14 fan badge named ’When I Like You, The Sky Is So Warm’.

He quickly thanked them, "Thanks so much to ’When I Like You, The Sky Is So Warm’ for the 10 Carnivals!"

The next moment, a request to join the call came from ’When I Like You, The Sky Is So Warm’.

’He had a feeling this request from ’When I Like You, The Sky Is So Warm’ was probably malicious.’

But the guy had donated 10 Carnivals and was a long-time fan. There was no reason to refuse, so he had to accept the call.

The video call connected, revealing a slick-looking and rather handsome young man. The moment he opened his mouth, however, his words were grating. "Cheng, are the goddamn heavens blind? Please, make another oath for us! Swear that if you’re not a scumbag, you’ll be struck dead."

Chen Jincheng felt his eye twitch.

’This guy really was up to no good.’

The worst part was, the fans in the chat started egging them on.

"Cheng, please, swear again! God must not have been wearing his glasses just now!"

"Yeah, give the big guy upstairs a chance to put on his glasses and get a clear look."

"Swear again! That last oath definitely didn’t count."

"..."

The crazy part was, as the fans goaded him, they kept donating nonstop. For a moment, the screen was a constant stream of virtual gifts, with too many Carnivals and Rockets to even count.

He even saw Sister Hehe getting in on the action, dropping a whopping 500 Carnivals.

Mind you, even though his concurrent viewership had dropped significantly, it had only fallen from over 2 million to over 1.2 million.

His stream dashboard showed that in that short span of time, over 350,000 additional people had sent gifts.

In other words, 350,000 people had donated in that brief moment, and the total amount had actually exceeded 5 million yuan.

That’s right, you read that correctly. The donations from just that moment had surpassed 5 million.

On average, each person had donated a little over 10 yuan.

Of course, most of these were basic gifts like "Little Stars" and "Popularity Floats," but the sheer number of Rockets and Carnivals was overwhelming.

Seriously, he watched himself instantly shoot to number one on the hourly popularity rankings.

At that moment, the streamers who had been competing in a PK battle for the top of the popularity rankings were stunned. The competition had been going just fine, and then suddenly, the number one spot was gone.

They wanted to see what tactless fool had just "parachuted" in to steal the top spot without any warning. But when they saw it was Chen Jincheng, with a score of over 50 million+ "sound waves"—a number that was still climbing—they all quietly shut up.

Oh, it was *him*. In that case, never mind.

Sister Hehe watched the gifts continue to flood the chat and urged him on, "Chen Jincheng, look! Everyone wants you to swear again. It’s what all your fans want to see!"

’When I Like You, The Sky Is So Warm’ resorted to guilt-tripping him. "Cheng, it’s just one little request from your fans. You’re not going to refuse them, are you?"

Chen Jincheng replied, exasperated, "Sigh, what good deeds did I, Chen Jincheng, ever do to deserve a bunch of fans like you? Donating five million just to get me to make an oath!"

The moment he said that, the chat exploded. The screen was flooded with "666."

A moment ago, they were just trying to stir up trouble and get Cheng to swear again. Who knew everyone would be so incredible?

This was perfect. They’d make Cheng swear one more time. If no thunder sounded this time, it would prove God really hadn’t been wearing his glasses earlier. Only then could their minds be at peace.

Chen Jincheng’s "parachuting" to the top of the hourly popularity chart naturally attracted many other streamers, who popped in to see what was going on. Hearing this exchange, they felt an inexplicable pang of jealousy.

What the hell? His fans dropped five million just to make him swear an oath?

The comparison was infuriating. If they got on their knees and called a viewer "Godfather" for a single Rocket donation, they’d have to put on a whole tearful performance of gratitude.

Their jealousy was about to boil over.

’When I Like You, The Sky Is So Warm’ spoke up again. "Cheng, everyone’s waiting. Please, hurry up and swear!"

Chen Jincheng really wanted to mute ’When I Like You, The Sky Is So Warm’ right then and there. Helpless, he could only shout to the sky, "Oh, heavens! If I’m not a scumbag, then strike me dead with a bolt of lightning!"

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE!

The sound of thunder echoed once more.

A bolt of lightning flashed directly over the restaurant, clear for all to see.

"Holy shit..." ’When I Like You, The Sky Is So Warm’ couldn’t stop himself from cursing.

This time, he was truly stunned.
