OFR – Chapter 77 Discussion.

A few uninvited guests, upon seeing the ID “A Bit Cold”, quickly apologized repeatedly and left the stream.

After all, it had only been a week since New Year’s, and while the hype from that legendary battle of tycoons was beginning to fade, the ID “A Bit Cold” was still a symbol of ultimate wealth.

In the pay-to-win streaming world, fans of mid-tier streamers wouldn’t dare provoke such a godlike spender. If they really angered him, it could very well drag down their own streamer.

As for those troublemaking viewers who had come just to stir the pot—when they saw the notification of a hundred rockets being gifted, they wisely slipped away too.

After those people left, A Wen immediately offered her thanks.

“Thank you, Cold Hao, really, thank you so much! Ugh, I feel like all I can say is ‘thank you,’ I can’t think of anything else… Don’t mind me, Cold Hao, I can’t exactly offer myself to you through the internet, haha…”

“Thank you, Cold Hao… I’m not very good with words, I…”

Even Xiaoyue, who was rather proud and reserved, stammered out her gratitude.

The chat was soon filled with envy, jealousy, and worship. Especially Haiqing, who—as always—posted extremely over-the-top comments.

• “My god, Cold Hao has once again put on an unprecedented show of god-tier spending! Amazing!”
• “Haha, my Cold Hao is invincible! Just one move and all his rivals are terrified into submission!”
• “Ask the vast Douyu platform—who holds sway? Only my Cold Hao!”
• “Anyone got a problem with that? Even a simple line from Cold Hao makes my blood boil with excitement!”
• “Bow down to my Cold Hao! He now stands above all other tycoons!”

Haiqing’s exaggerated words made Mu Bai chuckle, though he stayed silent.

After waiting ten seconds or so for the chat to quiet down, he finally typed a short message:

Level 113 Super Big Spender, A Bit Cold: “It’s fine. It’s getting late, I’ll log off now. You all should rest early too.”

“Mm, good night, Cold Hao.”
“Good night, Cold Hao. Sweet dreams, muah~”

The two streamers’ slightly flattering goodbyes only made Mu Bai shake his head with a smile before logging out of Douyu TV.

At this moment, he had two active missions: a random one called Scheming Girl, and a side mission called One Person in Power.

Both had very generous time limits—even the side mission gave him a full year to complete. So there was no need to rush.

After leaving Douyu, Mu Bai glanced at his phone and realized it was already 9 p.m., the sky outside completely dark.

A wave of drowsiness hit him. He yawned, turned off the TV with the remote, and walked into the bedroom to sleep.

In truth, Mu Bai enjoyed living like a night owl.
But unfortunately, his normal biological clock betrayed him. Once he slipped under the covers, he drifted into dreamland in no time.

After Mu Bai fell asleep, A Wen and Xiaoyue also ended their streams for the night.

But instead of going to bed, they chatted with Haiqing in their group about what had happened today.

Especially A Wen and Xiaoyue—both were still in shock.

They were just small-time streamers. Who would have thought they’d encounter someone standing at the very peak of the entire streaming industry?

A Wen: Hai, did Cold Hao really say he wants to “keep” us?

Haiqing: 😅 Wen, your mind is just as dirty as always. Cold Hao meant he wants us to follow him, not that he’s going to keep you!

A Wen: Following him is basically the same as being kept! By the way, is Cold Hao handsome? If he is, I kinda want to meet him in real life.

Xiaoyue: Hai, sorry, Wen forgot to take her meds again—ignore her lovesick nonsense.

Haiqing: 😓 See how restrained Xiaoyue is? Now look at you…

Xiaoyue: Okay, let’s get serious. Hai, what else did Cold Hao say to you?

Haiqing: He asked me about other management teams at Douyu, especially details about the top ten guilds. I have this feeling… what Cold Hao is planning is way beyond what we can imagine.

Yes—this was the same “A Bit Cold” who once dropped nine million in one go, single-handedly crushing a powerful family. For someone like that to start asking about guild structures, there was no way it was just on a whim.

And his 70% rebate for streamers only confirmed it further.

Haiqing had a faint premonition: soon, Douyu TV might see the rise of a god-tier king like never before.

And they—would become his very first followers.

Once he understood this, his resolve to follow Cold Hao grew stronger. He shared this thought with A Wen and Xiaoyue, and neither objected. After all, having the chance to follow a god-tier spender was something countless small streamers could only dream of.

After chatting a while longer, they each went their own way.

Xiaoyue quietly resumed grinding levels in the 2019 New Year server of “Ask Dao”, casually turning her stream back on as well.

After all, thanks to Cold Hao’s gifts earlier, her room had made it into the top 80 on the hot list. It was the perfect chance to stream and pick up new followers.

The next morning, 8 a.m.

Mu Bai returned to his apartment after having breakfast outside.

“Dingdong!”

His phone chimed with a text. After shutting the door, he opened it—

It was a bank deposit notification:

“Dear customer, on January 9th at 08:02, your account ending in 2868 received 26,000,000.00 RMB. Current balance: 27,689,255.18 RMB.”

It was the payment—26 million—for the Pink Gold Queen and Red Gold Queen orchids he had sold yesterday.

He was a little surprised.

After all, he had only secured the goods around 6 p.m. yesterday. And now, by 8 a.m., the buyer had already received them.

Although Shanghai and Nanjing aren’t too far apart, it’s still over 300 kilometers. This kind of courier speed was absolutely top-tier in the industry.

“Fengshen Express is getting faster and faster. Not bad.”

Satisfied, Mu Bai closed the text and logged into QQ to check his messages.

The moment he logged in, he noticed a new one, sent just a few minutes ago—
from Qian Yiwen.

Qian Yiwen: “Cool Mu, are you there? I’ve got something to tell you.”

“Hm? Could it be about their annual company party? That should be the day after tomorrow, right?”

Mu Bai remembered she had asked him a few days ago to accompany her to the party, so he figured it must be that.

Thinking that, he quickly typed back a reply.
