Chapter 012：My Friend Is Actually a Mysterious Tycoon?

Although Judy and Bess's PK battle had ended, Arthur's gift-giving spree did not. He continued recharging and sending gifts non-stop. The lion icons kept flooding the screen, seemingly without end.

He kept sending...

Kept sending...

One lion per second on average.

Sixty lions per minute.

Six hundred lions in ten minutes.

After an hour...

[A handsome guy smoking when lonely, sends Judy the Cute Streamer a lion *3331]

[A handsome guy smoking when lonely, sends Judy the Cute Streamer a lion *3332]

[A handsome guy smoking when lonely, sends Judy the Cute Streamer a lion *3333]

At this point, Arthur finally stopped. Judy was numb, her face blank with disbelief. She had only just started streaming a few days ago; when had she ever seen such a scene?

"Moira, pinch me, tell me this isn't real. Did someone really send me over three thousand lions?"

"A handsome guy smoking when lonely, you're rich! My gosh, this tycoon just sent you so much money!"

"Thank you, tycoon, thank you, boss, thank you, Smoking President!"

During Arthur's one-hour spree of sending lions, Judy's livestream viewership reached an unprecedented three million. It's worth noting that Sik Sok's viewership numbers are the most accurate among all streaming platforms. Three million live viewers for a new streamer is beyond impressive.

[Awesome! A new streamer, and her live room's viewership surpasses three million. Even celebrities don't get this many viewers.]

[I'm not here for the streamer, I'm here to watch the tycoon spend money! Haha.]

[Smoking President, let me know next time you start spending. I want to be your number one flunky.]

[Smoking President has good taste. This girl is quite pretty, definitely not inferior to Bess.]

[Smoking President, I've already followed you. Send a private message for a meetup!]

Arthur checked his messages. As expected, there were countless private messages, all showing 99+. There were even many female streamers who had sent him private messages. The most surprising to Arthur was a message from Bess herself. She was a hugely popular influencer with over 30 million followers, a goddess for many. Sweet and cute, she was a dream girl for countless men, adored by all ages. She was one of the top ten goddesses on the Sik Sok platform.

That such a high-profile influencer would send him a private message was something Arthur had never imagined. He opened his private messages.

[A handsome guy smoking when lonely, I followed you. Can we follow each other back? You really beat me hard!]

[Sorry about that, beautiful!] Arthur immediately replied.

[Smoking President, how about adding me on WhatsApp? I have something to discuss with you!]

[What's it about?]

[A business collaboration. I recently started a new media company and we need a tycoon like you. There are many beautiful influencer girls involved!]

[Really? I'll think about it. Send me your WhatsApp number!]

Arthur squinted his eyes. He thought adding Bess on WhatsApp wouldn't be a bad idea. She was a beauty and could be a potential target for his licking dog system. Plus, she knew many influencers. With her introductions, Arthur felt he could quickly make a name for himself in the influencer circle without even needing the system's licking dog gold rewards. Once famous, he could make money on his own. However, he needed to stay low-key and not become an influencer himself. According to the system's rules, the initial favorability from a licking dog target could not exceed 20 points; otherwise, the relationship couldn't be established. If a girl initially liked him more than 20 points, he wouldn't fit the licking dog identity.

[Smoking President, my WhatsApp is 'xxxxxx']

[Got it!]

Arthur promptly added her. In less than twenty seconds, Bess accepted his request.

[Smoking President, is your age real? Are you really only 21?] Bess messaged.

[Yes, it's true. I'll be 22 next month!] Arthur replied.

[I can't believe you're so young. In my mind, people who spend like this are usually CEOs of large corporations!]

[CEOs of large corporations are nothing. I could buy out Fortune 500 companies in minutes. Do you believe that?]

[Haha, you're so funny!]

Bess clearly thought Arthur was bragging. What did Fortune 500 companies represent? These giant corporations were worth billions, some even trillions. To say he could buy them out was absurd, even the richest person wouldn't dare say that. She thought this mysterious tycoon was a bit exaggerated and didn't seem like a real wealthy person. She even wondered if the person she added was the real tycoon, so she lost interest in chatting.

"Arthur, why are you back so early? Weren't you on a date with Xanthe?" Rex asked immediately upon returning to the dorm.

"Xanthe is no good. I told her off and came back!"

"Don't lie. You're lucky she didn't tell you off!" Rex shook his head disdainfully.

"Arthur, who are you chatting with?" Jay glanced at Arthur's phone and asked casually.

"Bess!"

"What? Who did you say?"

"Bess, the Sik Sok influencer!"

"Yeah, right. Why don't you say you're chatting with the President of the United States!"

"Haha, don't believe me then."

Arthur didn't bother to explain.

Meanwhile, after ending her stream, Judy followed Arthur's Sik Sok account almost immediately. She felt that, whether out of gratitude, politeness, or other reasons, she should privately thank this mysterious top donor. Moreover, he was from the same city.

But when she followed Arthur's Sik Sok account, she was stunned. She discovered that this mysterious top tycoon, the super-rich trending on social media, was actually her contact. The tycoon who had gifted her ten million was someone she knew.

"How did it go with A handsome guy smoking when lonely? Did you add the mysterious tycoon on WhatsApp? I'm telling you, someone who can spend like this must have unimaginable wealth. If you can get his support, going viral will be no problem!"

"I already added him," Judy said absentmindedly.

"So quickly?"

"No, I found out that the one who gifted me is actually my WhatsApp friend!" Judy explained.

"What?"

Moira was immediately filled with question marks upon hearing Judy's response.
