Chapter 32: Chapter 32: To See That Vibrant Red Planted All Over the World

[HOLY SHIIIIIIIT! Guys above, mind your manners! This is a livestream, not the wilderness. Put your pants back on!]

[This is insane, bro.]

[What? What did you say?]

[I don’t believe the guy above unless he sends pics.]

[Come on, add me, 183XXXXXXXX.]

[WTF!!]

Nico, having just finished a game, finally noticed the chat. Learning that Innocent had arrived, he was naturally thrilled!

Who was Innocent? The newly crowned mega-whale on TikTok! So far, she had tipped a total of 161,150,000! Moreover, a hundred million of that had been tipped to the Best Actor alone. What kind of net worth allowed someone to casually blow over a hundred million just watching a livestream?!

Innocent was now the golden goose for countless streamers. Please—if this rich lady tipped even a little, they would be set for life! Most importantly, up until now, there hadn’t been a single rumor of Miss Innocent keeping any of her tipped streamers as sugar babies, nor had she ever made unreasonable demands! She was a true Fortune Boy. The kind who asked for nothing in return.

Nico’s eyes sparkled. He cleared his throat, and his gentle, magnetic voice echoed through the stream. "Welcome to the channel, Miss Innocent. Would you like to play a game together?"

Hearing the streamer’s voice, Rian Sinclair finally shifted her attention from her remaining Sharkstream Coin balance to the stream itself.

The screen was still on the post-match settlement interface. Seeing that the streamer had been playing Lady Young, she fell deep into thought. It was a stereotype Rian Sinclair had learned while scrolling through videos in the past: most people who played the champion Lady Young were...

Rian Sinclair remained silent for a few seconds before typing: *Can you turn on your webcam so I can see your face?*

Right now, Rian Sinclair was doing her best to find more target individuals. Exclusively tipping the same person would easily lead to aesthetic fatigue, making the process much more tiresome.

Nico looked at the chat, spotting a sparkling gold chat bubble. After reading Innocent’s message, he paused for a moment. "If Miss Innocent wants to see me, I’ll turn on the cam."

Rian Sinclair raised an eyebrow. In her opinion, streamers who didn’t use webcams were either insecure about their looks or just found it too much of a hassle. It seemed this streamer likely fell into the latter category. After all, he hadn’t immediately made excuses to refuse her request, which meant he was probably quite good-looking.

[AHHHHHH! He’s turning on the cam again! Miss Innocent, I love you!]

[SLURP, getting ready to lick my screen. Nico accidentally showed his face once before; only veteran fans know.]

[Bros, I’m already prepped to bust in ten seconds. I’m an OG fan.]

[WTF! Bro, that’s way too short. Unlike me, I can last half a minute!]

[Bros, forgive me for what I’m about to do!]

[WTF! The rumors are true! Nico’s stream is full of...!]

[How can you all be so vulgar? Unlike me, who only knows how to dote on my sweet baby boy~]

[To the guy above: Bro, allow me to BARF first!]

[Streamer, if you turn on your cam, don’t be unbearably ugly!]

[I’m terrified this is going to be another ’Press F to pay respects’ moment.]

[A certain Catfish: Damn it, who are you taking shots at?]

[A certain Top Donator: Deleting my account, stealing a whole train, and running for my life.]

Nico adjusted his appearance and carefully switched on his webcam.

Rian Sinclair waited quietly.

When the camera feed appeared, the first thing she noticed was a pair of eyes that seemed to gather all the spiritual beauty of the world—pure, untainted, crystal clear, yet unfathomably deep. He had a smooth, fair complexion, thin lips, and what seemed to be a pair of cute dimples. With his dark hair paired with a hoodie, he looked incredibly adorable.

[Ding! High-quality handsome man detected. Appearance score: 90. Qualifies for ten-times spending cashback!]

Hearing the system’s announcement, Rian Sinclair immediately opened the gift menu, selected the Treasure Map, and entered the quantity: 9999.

Nico stared at the gifts in shock, quickly standing up to bow. "Thank you for the Treasure Maps, Miss Innocent. Chat, everyone drop a follow for Miss Innocent."

Listening to Nico’s response, Rian Sinclair noted his soft, boyish voice. Judging by his looks, he was probably around the same age as Ash Sinclair.

Thinking about Ash Sinclair’s behavior always gave her a headache. Fortunately, Ash Sinclair had already thoroughly experienced the old adage of "beat your little brother early and often" when he was a child. Marveling at how massive the gap in personality between two people of the same age could be, Rian Sinclair, feeling a wave of indignant exasperation toward her brother, directly tipped 9,999 exclusive King’s Scepter gifts in the livestream.

Nico’s legs gave out, and he collapsed back into his gaming chair. He had just watched his streaming revenue instantly shoot up into the nine digits! That meant he had just net-profited over a hundred million in a single stream!

The streaming revenue he saw on his end was the pure profit *after* the platform’s cut! In reality, this mega-whale had tipped over a billion in gifts!

For a split second, the livestream chat fell completely silent. Although they had never seen this exclusive gift before, clicking on its icon would display the sender’s account and the corresponding monetary value!

[Wait, guys, am I seeing things? They cost a hundred grand each, and she sent 9,999 of them?]

[WTF! Holy shit, this sister is that rich?]

[The rich are filthy rich, and the poor are dirt poor.]

[The sis who just joined the stream dropped a billion in gifts?]

[Mother of God! What kind of money is that?!]

[A dumbfounded streamer, gorgeous gifts, and an absurdly wealthy Miss Innocent.]

[My mom just asked me why I’m aggressively screaming ’wife’ at my phone.]

[WTF, you think you’re worthy of being Miss Innocent’s man? Miss Innocent, I want to be your dog!]

[Too rich, too rich, absolutely inhuman wealth!]

[Drooling maniacally at my phone!]

[Ahhhh~~~! I’m busting~~~!]

[Look at me, Miss! I’m soft, delicate, and easy to pin down!]

Nico stared at the billion-dollar tip Miss Innocent had just dropped for him, nearly forgetting how to breathe. This... This was simply... inhumanly wealthy!

[Target 7’s affection has increased. Current affection level is 90. 40 free attribute points acquired. Please distribute them wisely, Host!]

[Ding! Detected that Host has tipped a 90-score attractive individual 1,004,989,500. Cashback rewarded: 10,049,895,000! Please check your balance, Host!]

As soon as she heard the money hit her account, Rian Sinclair closed Sharkstream. She transferred ten billion to Donovan Sinclair and, shortly after, received a call from him.

"Use this money to start acquiring properties and securing a headquarters for the corporation," she instructed. "If it’s not enough, let me know later. I need my forces to permeate every accessible industry."

After finishing her orders, Rian Sinclair looked up at the scenery outside.

Argent was a city of desire, power, and money. Driven by desire, people yearned for power and wealth. They scrambled upward, hoping to become part of that intoxicatingly glamorous world.

Rian Sinclair had ambition. She refused to be drowned in the sea of humanity, living an ordinary life. She refused to let her fate rest in the hands of others, and she certainly refused to swallow her pride and act as someone else’s weapon. She needed absolute authority. She wanted others to fear her so she could do exactly as she pleased, and to achieve that, someone had to step forward.

Originally, she had only wanted to live a quiet, unremarkable life, asking for nothing more than health, peace, and enough to eat and wear. But looking at the bigger picture... Rian Sinclair rather hoped that brilliant shade of red would one day blanket the entire world.
