OFR – Chapter 352 Industry Earthquake (Part 5)!

A Bit Cold, this man—he had just proven with overwhelming, unrivaled strength that he was qualified, that he had the power to stand against anyone in the streaming industry.
Including him.

The Fish Emperor exhaled deeply. In real life, he was counted among Wuhan’s most powerful elites. Never had he imagined that in something as “small” as the live-streaming industry, he would encounter someone who could actually make him feel pressure.

This year he was thirty-five, in his prime. His real name: Chen Huang Lizhi.

The name might sound ordinary—most average citizens of Haibei Province had probably never heard it—but ask any professional earning seven figures or more and they could tell you countless stories of his legend.

Because he wasn’t just anyone. He was the man who sat at the very top of Haibei’s visible rich list—a self-made billionaire whose net worth had soared to nearly one hundred billion yuan by the age of thirty-five.

And yet here he was, Haibei’s wealthiest man, finding a true rival in something as trivial as live streaming? To say this out loud to his old acquaintances would make them burst out laughing.

But it was true—and even he was astonished.

Five years ago, when the live-streaming craze first began, he had considered investing. His sharp instincts told him it could be lucrative. But with too many giants entering the scene and the environment riddled with chaos and uncertainty, Huang Lizhi worried about throwing in vast sums only to see them wasted.

So he decided instead to lurk for a while, to see for himself.

Unexpectedly, in this “side game,” he found something he could never feel in the real world—pure indulgent freedom.

With his wealth, even the smallest expense allowed him to summon storms in this industry, to obtain anything he wanted. No one dared oppose him.

Here, he felt like an ancient king—unchecked, unchallenged, free to do as he pleased.

Spend money, and there were endless women; endless opportunities to show off; endless flocks of streamers catering to his every whim.
And none of the restraints or worries that came with real life.

This became his guilty pleasure. And as he indulged, his appetite grew. It was around this time that Douyu’s CEO approached him.

The offer was irresistible: a 20% stake in Douyu and privileges no one else could dream of. He agreed to become Douyu’s Guardian.

With Douyu’s potential, he wouldn’t have to fight for territory in a chaotic industry—he could simply enjoy supreme treatment while the platform grew.

So Huang Lizhi accepted, and in turn, agreed to shield Douyu from its biggest threats.

And thus, the legendary ID Fish Emperor was born.

On his very first day under that name, he spent more than two billion yuan on PandaTV—descending like a god of war, crushing every wealthy patron on the platform. Even the man hailed then as the “#1 tycoon of the entire streaming world,” Boss Niu, was forced to bow before his dominance.

Two billion yuan, dropped casually on PandaTV. That was a display of power no one in the industry could rival.

Boss Niu, shrewd as he was, recognized this overwhelming aura. He knew he could not afford to provoke the Fish Emperor—not online, not in real life.

So he backed down. He abandoned what had been a carefully prepared media war against Douyu and slipped quietly out of the scene. The once-dominant legend was gone, his aura forever shattered.

And from that very moment, it was as though Douyu had divine blessing—soaring rapidly. In just two or three years, it captured nearly a third of the market’s users and traffic, dominating categories of top streamers and wealthy patrons alike.

By now, Douyu was the undisputed king of live streaming.

And the Fish Emperor had become a legend. Though he hadn’t touched this ID in over two years, his countless smaller accounts still received god-tier respect.

He had watched A Bit Cold rise from the sidelines.

But even he hadn’t expected this man to become this powerful—carrying such an unstoppable aura that he could shatter Douyu’s strongest alliance and force the entire platform to “reason” with him.

It reminded him of himself, when he once forced all of PandaTV to bow.
The scenes were eerily similar.

Back then, PandaTV.
Now, the Grand Streaming Summit.
Back then, Panda’s alliances.
Now, the Douyu God-Wealth Alliance.
Back then, Boss Niu.
Now… him.

“Heh.”

Even someone as battle-hardened as Huang Lizhi couldn’t help but chuckle. “Life is unpredictable.”

But however unpredictable life might be—why should he, a man who commanded power even in the real world, ever fear a game that was, to people of his class, no more than child’s play?

So the legendary Fish Emperor, realizing that A Bit Cold could not be swayed, wasted no more words.

The time had come for the most unprecedented clash in streaming history.

If today’s God-Wealth Battle was already destined to be remembered, then his duel with A Bit Cold would be the true peak—the apex that no one could ever rival.

And just then, the global announcement feed exploded.

Dark Storm gifts and Rainbow Storms raged together.

Earlier, when A Bit Cold crushed the alliance, the dark and rainbow storms had still been countable—barely.

But now? No one could keep track.

Because this wasn’t just any fight. This was a head-on clash between two A12-class God-Wealth patrons—a level of financial might far beyond what the streaming world was built to handle.

Gift after gift, flood after flood, slammed across every corner of the platform. The pace was too fast, too violent—so overwhelming that the servers themselves began to choke.

Even with hundreds of engineers sweating bullets behind the scenes, they could barely keep up.

In the end, the entire platform could only render the spectacle in fragments—two titans locked in combat through gifts whose cost could bankrupt an average family in an instant.

And yet, those gifts kept flying out, one after another, with reckless abandon.

The audience was left breathless, their very hearts shaken.
