Chapter 39: Becoming the Top Patron, Time to Taste the Female Streamer (Patreon)

Guinaifen was merely a powerless outworlder who had fled to the Xianzhou as a refugee. You easily obtained all of her information, including the detailed circumstances of her family.

Looking at her file, which listed things like 'both parents deceased,' 'financially strained,' and 'several underage younger siblings to support,' a bold and wicked idea instantly popped into your head.

She was just a powerless female streamer, not even popular enough to be considered an internet celebrity. If you decided to play with her, who could possibly do anything to you?

Consider it a final indulgence before getting married.

Meanwhile, Guinaifen, completely unaware that she had become your target, was ecstatic. Seeing how desperately she was trying to create entertaining content, it was clear that the Xianzhou's live-streaming scene was incredibly competitive.

From the time she started streaming until now, she had never received a donation of even 1,000 credits, let alone 100,000.

After being stunned for a good while, she hastily began to thank the camera incoherently and repeatedly.

She only learned from the discussion in the bullet comments that you were a famously super-rich patron on this streaming platform. Your favorite pastime was to browse the platform, 'inspecting rooms,' and whenever you encountered a performance you liked, you would casually drop a massive donation.

Almost every streamer on the entire platform hoped to have their 'room inspected' by you.

Guinaifen inwardly marveled at her good luck today, while thinking about treating her younger brothers and sisters to a good meal.

Evidently, Guinaifen had never heard the saying: every gift from fate has a price secretly marked on its back.

Otherwise, she would have certainly regretted this encounter.

The next day, you visited Guinaifen's stream again.

Upon seeing the conspicuous entrance effect, Guinaifen immediately realized her god of wealth had arrived and eagerly greeted the camera with immense enthusiasm.

You lusted after Guinaifen's body and had little interest in her performance. Of course, if Guinaifen could perform some of her more difficult stunts, like a handstand, while you were doing it, you would be even more excited.

After watching Guinaifen's performance for a while, you donated another 200,000 credits and then directly asked for her contact information via private message.

Guinaifen seemed to sense your intentions. After all, she was no innocent flower. During her years in exile, she had begged, stolen, and scavenged, tasting all the bitterness and sweetness life had to offer.

Besides, she had been a streamer for some time. She was beautiful, had a great figure, and a charming disposition. She had encountered more than one person who had directly messaged her with offers of financial support in exchange for her companionship.

However, Guinaifen didn't dare to offend a major patron like you, and after a moment's hesitation, she obediently gave you her contact information.

You patiently waited until Guinaifen finished her stream before sending her a direct message.

"Be my woman. I'll take care of you."

Guinaifen's premonition had come true. Staring at the blunt words on the screen, she froze for a moment, her hand gripping the Jade Abacus so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Without hesitation, Guinaifen typed out a reply.

"I'm sorry, I'm not that kind of woman!"

Then, she hesitated for a moment, clenched her teeth, and refunded the 300,000 credits you had donated.

Seeing that sentence on the screen, along with the subsequent transfer notification, you smiled.

This was what made it interesting. If Guinaifen were like other streamers, readily spreading her legs after being showered with money, you wouldn't have any interest in such a public urinal.

What's that saying again? From ancient times to the present, men have had two great pastimes: forcing good women into prostitution and persuading prostitutes to reform.

You left her with two sentences:

First, I never take back money I've given away.

Second, you will definitely come find me of your own accord. When you've figured things out, remember to come to this address: ...

Oh, and by the way, after you come in, remember to take off all your clothes and crawl over like a bitch. If you're going to beg, you should look the part.

After reading that message, Guinaifen nearly saw red. How could someone be so humiliating? She was so angry she almost blocked you immediately.

But after hesitating again and again, she stopped herself. Her years of struggling at the bottom had taught Guinaifen not to burn her bridges and to always leave herself a way out.

If she really couldn't win, she knew she would have to yield when necessary.

You also began to act quickly.

As a member of the Luofu Xianzhou's upper class, dealing with a few outworlder beggars who had come to the Luofu was almost too easy.

Guinaifen had just gotten home when the bad news arrived. Her older brothers had been arrested by the Ground-Balancing Commission for injuring someone.

The other party was clamoring that if they didn't pay compensation, they would pull some strings and have her brothers sent to the Prison of Shackling Souls.

Guinaifen's face changed instantly. The Prison of Shackling Souls was a place for serious criminals. Given the harsh conditions inside, even if someone sent there eventually got out, they would most likely be broken.

Guinaifen quickly opened her streaming account, planning to withdraw all the money to rescue her brothers first.

But as soon as she opened the account, she was dumbfounded.

Her account had been banned!

She hurriedly contacted customer service to inquire about the situation, but they either passed the buck, telling her to contact other departments, or just gave her the runaround with boilerplate responses.

Guinaifen asked around for a long time but got nowhere. She didn't know the reason for the ban, nor did she know how to get it lifted.

Just as Guinaifen was at her wit's end, the landlord came to add to her troubles, saying they were raising the rent and would evict them otherwise.

The landlord's words struck her like a bolt from the blue. She couldn't understand it at all. The landlord had always rented to them at a low price and hadn't raised the rent by a single credit in ten years. Now, he was suddenly demanding they pay double.

The landlord seemed to feel a bit of pity and finally pulled Guinaifen aside to ask quietly, "Did your family offend someone important?"

Only then did it dawn on Guinaifen that you were behind all of this.

After the landlord left, Guinaifen gripped her Jade Abacus, hesitating about whether to report the matter to the Ground-Balancing Commission.

She knew very well that her brothers were usually low-key and hadn't offended anyone; they had certainly been framed.

Since the other party dared to act so brazenly, they clearly had significant connections within the Ground-Balancing Commission. Reporting it would be pointless.

What on earth should she do? Did she really have to...

At this moment, you were at home, sitting comfortably and waiting for the fish to bite.

Even if she knew you were the culprit, she was powerless against you. Besides, you weren't the least bit afraid of Guinaifen getting desperate and trying to reason with you physically.

Over these years, although your business acumen hadn't improved much, your strength had grown rapidly, to the point where you were no worse than an ordinary Cloud Knight.

If Guinaifen wanted to reason with her fists, you would definitely let her have a taste of your marksmanship!

Just then, your Jade Abacus rang. You picked it up casually and saw that it was, as expected, Guinaifen's number.

You smiled faintly. The fish had taken the bait.
