7: The Birth of a New God
Before long, Du Ruoxi had already connected with another streamer.
On the other side was a young lady who looked to be about twenty years old, and her background appeared to be a university dormitory.
Her online viewer count wasn't high either, only in the single digits, but her PK rank was slightly higher than Du Ruoxi's at Bronze 5.
This was actually TikTok's matching mechanism; in most cases, you are matched with streamers of a similar rank, though you occasionally encounter someone a bit stronger.
"Hello, miss. Would you like to play a round?"
As soon as the PK connected, Du Ruoxi greeted the young lady on the other side.
Wang Chen also used the "Character Insight" function to check the information of the young lady opposite them.
Her natural beauty was 61, but with level ten beauty filters and effects—good heavens! Her beauty reached 87, making her a bona-fide "goddess" in the eyes of most people.
However, as for her figure, the rating was only an A.
Wang Chen's evaluation: If she got married and had a baby, the whole family might go hungry.
Netizens were all joking about why the young lady was facing away from the camera.
The young lady on the other side seemed used to it and replied without changing her expression.
"Sure, let's play a round. Physical punishment or talent?"
"Whichever, either is fine."
"Let's do physical then. The loser does ten jumping jacks."
"Okay, let's mute our mics and start."
The PK began, a standard five-minute match.
The first 30 seconds were the "Golden 30 Seconds," where the first gift sent by each person received a double point bonus.
Most streamers fighting for a first win would have their "Big Brothers" time their gifts during the double bonus, essentially getting the points of two gifts for the price of one.

Due to the double bonus, Wang Chen's lavender manor, worth 3,300, caused the PK health bar to immediately display 6,600.
Wang Chen didn't start with the massive gifts; he sent a lavender manor first to test the waters.
Otherwise, if the opposing streamer felt "choked" right away, they might just run away.
Wang Chen had encountered this many times.
Some streamers were only in it for the money, jumping from one PK match to the next. "PK Spirit"? What was that? Could you eat it?
During the 30-second bonus, the opponent didn't have any big supporters, only some scattered small gifts like "Sunglasses" and "Kisses."
On Du Ruoxi's side, with Wang Chen taking the lead, several regulars in the livestream also sent some gifts.

Lazy Sheep King: [Ruoxi, tell her that as long as she doesn't run, I'll give her medical expenses when it's over.]
"Okay, I'll tell her."
The young lady on the other side was still soliciting votes. After Du Ruoxi made a series of strenuous gestures, she finally got the other streamer to unmute.
"Miss, my Big Brother said that if you don't run halfway through, he will send you medical expenses once it's over."
"Alright, tell your Big Brother to go ahead and bring it on. I promise not to run."
Hearing about the medical expenses, the young lady on the other side became quite cooperative.
Seeing her promise, Wang Chen opened fire with full force, ignoring whether there was a bonus or not, clicking on gifts repeatedly.

After sending ten carnivals in a row, Wang Chen turned his attention to the gifts in the Mystery Shop.
Previously, he could only envy other Big Brothers; today, he was going to experience the treatment of a tycoon for himself.
Lazy Sheep King sent Dragon-Riding Ranger ×1
Lazy Sheep King sent Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens ×1
Lazy Sheep King sent Dragon-Seeking Ranger ×1
Lazy Sheep King sent Hidden Dragon in the Abyss ×1
Lazy Sheep King sent Urban Ranger ×1
The five Mystery Shop gifts cost a total of 106,888 Diamonds, and the effect was absolutely explosive.
Especially those two dragons; the magnificent special effects even came with background music.
What was even more amazing was that these gifts carried a vibration effect.
"Not bad at all."
"As expected of whale exclusives, this is so damn addictive!"
At this moment, Du Ruoxi's mouth was wide open with a dazed expression, her little hands not knowing where to rest.
The young lady on the other side was no better; her eyes were nearly bulging out, and her face was written all over with envy.
Wang Chen didn't idle around.
He opened Du Ruoxi's Gallery; most of the items were grayed out, so Wang Chen sent them one by one.
He maxed out the quantities for all 19 gifts in the Newbie Gallery.
Lazy Sheep King sent Little Heart ×1314
Lazy Sheep King sent Big Beer ×1314
...Lazy Sheep King sent Starlight Pearl ×18
...Lazy Sheep King sent Boating in a Sea of Flowers ×10
After clicking through them all in one breath, the screen-filling effects caused the livestream to start lagging.
The number of people in the livestream was also rising rapidly.
It soon broke the thousand-viewer mark.
33 Not Drinking Milk Tea: [Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! A mysterious tycoon has appeared on TikTok!]
45 Xu Xian Fell in Love with Fahai: [The streamer is completely stunned, haha!]
14 Old Gong: [Screen recorded. PM me if you want the video.]
...PK Ended
This round was taken without any suspense.
Du Ruoxi's PK rank was blasted straight to Gold 1-star, only a dozen points away from Gold 2-star.
If it weren't for TikTok's ranking rules capping a single PK gain at 2000 points, Wang Chen's wild gifting spree just now would have definitely promoted her to Platinum.
(TikTok Livestream PK Rank Divisions: Bronze 1-5 stars, Silver 1-5 stars, Gold 1-5 stars, Platinum 1-5 stars, Diamond 1-5 stars, King)
"Thank you... thank you, my Yang Yang. This was such a surprise."
Du Ruoxi's voice was a bit choked up, her eyes overflowing with happiness and satisfaction.
This feeling of being pampered and protected was truly wonderful.
"Yang Yang, you're so handsome. Love you!"

Lazy Sheep King: [Standard procedure, don't overreact. (Smug)]
...In the end, Wang Chen didn't make the opposing young lady do physical punishment. He went over and gifted a douyin number one as medical expenses, then returned to Du Ruoxi's livestream amidst the other streamer's thanks.
"Welcome home, my Yang Yang! Yang Yang, do you want to see a dance? I'll perform one for you!"
Just as Wang Chen was about to reply, Youyou's voice rang out in his mind.
[Ding! Du Ruoxi's intimacy +7, current intimacy is 79.]
[Please keep up the good work, host!]
"79?"
"Youyou, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
[Not at all, host! Youyou cannot influence the increase of a character's intimacy.]
"Then how do I raise this last point? Keep gifting?"
[The host needs to do something that moves the target or fulfill the target's wish. However, the influence of the same action will diminish!]
"So you're saying if I keep gifting, intimacy won't increase anymore?"
[I wouldn't say that, it's just that the increase won't be as obvious as the first time.]
"Something moving? Ruoxi's wish? Let me think."
Wang Chen didn't reply to Du Ruoxi's question directly, asking instead:
Lazy Sheep King: [Ruoxi, do you have any wishes?]
"Ah, a wish?"
"My wish is to quickly learn the chinese lute and dancing, and then perform them for you, Yang Yang!"
"And then, it's to become a big TikTok streamer!"
Lazy Sheep King: [Keep it up! You're the best!]
...The livestream ended in a joyful atmosphere.
Just like at noon, Wang Chen's private messages lit up on time, sent by Du Ruoxi.
Ruoxi: "Yang Yang, thank you. Thank you for letting me see those effects!"
Ruoxi: "It's so good to have met you. (Shy)"
Wang Chen replied:
Lazy Sheep King: "Since you are my goddess, this is only right!"
Lazy Sheep King: "You're worth it!"
Ruoxi: "(Touched)"
Ruoxi: "I'll send you some photos. (Giggle)"
