57: Refuse to return, start with me

"Dear user, User - Qing Jie invites you to team up. Do you agree?"

As soon as Li Youqian exited Di Jie's live stream, he saw the team invitation from Qing Jie.

Hiss~ Could it be that Qing Jie also has a live streaming reward system and has accepted a system mission?

Otherwise, there's no way to explain it!

If Qing Jie doesn't have a system, then why is she so proactive!!!

Calling in the morning is one thing, after all, most people are awake by 8 o'clock.

The key is that this person also calls in the middle of the night. Is this something a normal person would do??

Li Youqian clicked 'Agree' and, upon joining the team, found that the other four had already teamed up, leaving only him.

Why is this group of people more proactive than the last, and do they never sleep?

"Sir invites you to join the group chat - Immortal by the River."

The group has already been created?

It's only 12:06 AM!!

[Sir: President Qian is here! Welcome, welcome!]

[Mei Niang: Welcome, little Qian Qian~]

[Qing Jie: Why welcome him? He just scolded me.]

[Shadow: Heh, don't even mention President Qian, I almost couldn't help but scold you too.]

[Shadow: Not sleeping in the middle of the night, getting up to send gifts?]

It seems he's not the only victim!

Li Youqian's heart immediately felt balanced; suffering isn't scary, what's scary is having no one to suffer with.

[Im Really Rich: Exactly, who calls in the middle of the night?]

[Im Really Rich: It's just that I don't have a partner right now. If I did, I wouldn't be able to explain tonight.]

[Sir: Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You two big men, why do you have so little tolerance?]

[Sir: The reason I gathered everyone is still to discuss how to play the team competition?]

[Im Really Rich: Is there a way to play this thing? Just throw money at it.]

[Qing Jie: ...]

[Mei Niang: Emmm... What if we can't win by throwing money?]

[Im Really Rich: Then your money isn't enough.]

[Mei Niang: You... that makes so much sense, I'm actually speechless.]

Isn't that right? How else can you play a money-based event without spending money?

[Sir: So, do we go all-in at the beginning? Or save our votes for a last-minute sneak attack?]

[Im Really Rich: Is there a difference??]

[Shadow: There's quite a big difference.]

[Shadow: If we go all-in at the beginning, the huge amount of money is enough to scare off many people, but the drawbacks are also obvious.]

[Sir: It's easy to provoke those return-vote accounts and super-rich fan groups.]

[Mei Niang: Return-vote accounts are actually fine. This event is so big, many people will definitely choose return-vote accounts.]

[Qing Jie: Indeed, using return-vote accounts does save a lot.]

[Shadow: Does President Qian use return-vote accounts? I know an S-level guild that can provide high-amount returns.]

High-amount returns, meaning a 65% rebate, where the guild doesn't earn a cent and even has to pay a little extra.

The reason they do such a loss-making business is to promote their own streamers, similar to spending money to buy traffic.

"System, it shouldn't be against the rules if I use some return-vote accounts, right?"

Since he doesn't benefit from the return-vote accounts, it shouldn't violate any rules.

He doesn't want to use return-vote accounts either, but looking at the current situation this year, he feels that 2.5 billion Douyin coins won't be enough.

[Ding~ As the owner of the Online Tycoon System, how can you do something as shameful as using return-vote accounts?]

[Please host, refuse return-vote accounts. Mission complete reward: 5 billion Douyin coins.]

!!!

5 billion Douyin coins??

System, you dare to give it, but I don't dare to spend it!

This is 500 million RMB, not five yuan!!

Since Li Youqian got the system, up until now, he has only spent less than 30 million.

Suddenly having 500 million, he himself feels scared.

[What are you scared of? If I dare to give it to you, it means it's fine!]

[I don't know what you're thinking, as my host, you actually want to use return-vote accounts!]

[If my colleagues found out, I wouldn't have the face to meet them!]

[I give it to you, so just spend it and crush those idiotic return-vote accounts.]

Since the system said so, if Li Youqian were to chicken out again, he could be replaced as the protagonist.

Immortal by the River group chat.

[Im Really Rich: We'll go all-in directly in the county-level finals!]

[Im Really Rich: I don't need return-vote accounts. I just topped up 500 million, and I'll fight them to the end!]

[Im Really Rich: If that's not enough, I'll top up a few more hundred million then.]

Don't forget, he also has the 6 million daily sign-in quota~

[Sir: Holy cow! 500 million!!]

[Shadow: 500 million... For the first time, I feel like a pauper.]

[Mei Niang: Little Qian Qian, how much strength are you still hiding?]

[Qing Jie: 500 million?? Are you crazy??]

500 million, they could scrape it together if they gritted their teeth, but that would be almost all of their liquid capital.

If capital isn't invested, it will only depreciate more and more, so rich people don't have much cash on hand.

[Ding~ Host successfully refused return-vote accounts. 5 billion Douyin coins have been credited.]

500 million RMB credited instantly??

The system is getting more and more amazing!

...

"Mr. Zhang, there's something I need to report to you."

At Douyin Group Headquarters, Li Wei, the Head of the Finance Department, gasped when he saw the 500 million transfer.

He had managed Douyin's finances for many years and had seen tens of billions, even hundreds of billions, in funds, but this was the first time he had seen a 500 million top-up transfer!

Furthermore, the sender's account was displayed as the Morgan Financial Group, and he suspected that this money might be involved in some illegal transactions.

So he immediately went to the CEO's office to report the situation; he wouldn't dare to make a decision on such a big matter himself.

"What is it?"

Douyin's CEO, Mr. Zhang, was looking at the previous quarter's financial report and was surprised by Li Wei's arrival.

Usually, Li Wei wouldn't come to him unless it was something major.

"Just now, 500 million was transferred to our group's account. The sender is the foreign Morgan Financial Group."

"And the remark for this money is 'Douyin coin top-up'."

500 million? Douyin coin top-up? Are you sure you're not joking?

Even the head of the Morgan Financial Group wouldn't be so extravagant!

If Li Wei hadn't followed him for many years and always acted prudently, he would have started scolding already.

"Have you found out the purpose of the funds?"

Since the money came from Morgan, it must be "clean"; at the very least, it won't involve "black money."

Now, he just needs to figure out what this money is for.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, the top-up account for this money is a Level 75 account."

"This person has just recently emerged and has already topped up nearly 100 million on our platform, little by little."

"And some time ago, he just spent tens of billions to buy a yacht."

After listening to Li Wei's report, Mr. Zhang already had a general guess, but he still couldn't believe it.

Someone actually spent 500 million playing on a live stream??

"Don't touch this money for now. As for the 5 billion Douyin coins, credit them to his account first."

"Keep a close eye on this account's movements. If there are any issues with this money, immediately freeze all Douyin coins in his account."

"At the same time, reclaim all Douyin coins he has spent."

5 billion Douyin coins is a lot, but it's nothing to the entire Douyin Group.

Now, they just need to wait quietly. As long as there are no further issues with this money, the owner of this account will be their most valued user on Douyin in the future.

After all, currently, no other user has spent more than 100 million in real consumption.
