I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 118 - 113 I Have Connections Above I Can Help

[Chen Xixi has been diligently saving money for over half a month, yet Zheng He manages to outdo her with just a few minutes of begging. This is so dramatic!]

[But is it really okay for Zheng He to directly ask everyone for money like this? Isn’t other people’s money still money? I can’t understand why anyone would sympathize with Zheng He.]

[To me, Zheng He is basically robbing people now, playing up his plight to viewers and asking fans to send gifts. This behavior is disgusting!]

There were netizens who sympathized with Zheng He and those who disapproved of his internet begging antics. Many viewers switched to other guests’ live streams, causing his popularity to drop significantly.

Some wandered into Han Qianyi and Wan Chen’s live streams, only to find…

Han Qianyi and Wan Chen were also begging online!

Wan Chen had just left to go back to the burger joint to charge his phone. As he charged, he registered for a live streaming account.

Although he had other plans to win, he didn’t want to spend the night on the streets at all.

Wan Chen wasn’t experienced in begging. The last time he begged was under Zheng He’s lead, and it was easier with thick skin and many people around, so he didn’t feel it was a big deal.

But now, asking for money like Zheng He, by playing up a pitiful act to the netizens, he felt embarrassed and struggled to open his mouth.

Wan Chen saw the continuously increasing number of viewers in his live stream. He cleared his throat uncomfortably, rubbed his hands, coughed several times, but found himself unable to articulate his request.

It was a smart viewer who guessed what Wan Chen’s troubled expression meant.

[Do you want us to send you gifts so you can get money for a place to stay?]

Wan Chen saw this comment and breathed a sigh of relief, nodding, “Yes, family, that’s right… I’m also looking for a place to stay, and I’d like everyone to help out… Thank you all…”

Wan Chen didn’t have a strong presence on the show, so he didn’t have many fans.

Even so, he received quite a few gifts.

Wan Chen never imagined that online begging could be so easy!

After he made his request, the gifts started pouring in.

Wan Chen was amazed!

And Han Qianyi, watching at his side, was stunned!

Was begging really that easy?

Both Wan Chen and Zheng He were begging; if she didn’t do it, she’d be the only one sleeping on the streets tonight.

For a girl alone late at night… just the thought was so upsetting.

After hesitating for a moment, Han Qianyi finally opened her live stream.

But she felt even more ashamed than Wan Chen to ask the viewers for money, something an Oscar-winning actress shouldn’t be doing.

So…

She pursed her lips and silently turned the phone camera to the rear camera.

It seemed like she was holding the phone and live streaming, but actually, her live stream showed an uncomfortable Wan Chen trying to get gifts…

It was equivalent to Wan Chen begging in two different live streams, one of which he was unwittingly doing on behalf of Han Qianyi without her knowledge.

The viewers were confused!

[Did I enter the wrong live stream? Why is Wan Chen in Han Qianyi’s live stream? Where is Han Qianyi?]

[I don’t know, but this indeed is Han Qianyi’s live broadcast room!]

[Doesn’t matter, as long as I’m in the right broadcast room. Everyone has gifts, kind-hearted Qianyi shouldn’t be without! Besides, a girl sleeping on the streets is really too unsafe. Family, here I start with my tribute!]

[You start, I’ll follow up right after!]

[I’m dying of laughter! Just came over from the program crew’s live broadcast and witnessed Han Qianyi with her phone facing Wan Chen, making the completely clueless Wan Chen beg for her hahaha!]

[Hahaha, I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, it’s incredible that Han Qianyi could come up with such a cunning move!]

[I feel like “Money Saving Battle” should just be renamed “Begging Battle” haha!]

[Doesn’t the production team manage such things? Is it really okay for them to directly ask the audience for money like this? And isn’t this supposed to be a show about saving money? Why are the guests asking viewers to spend money sending them gifts?

Could it be that they save their own money but make the audience pay for their living expenses? Isn’t this complete nonsense? Taking the audience for fools?]

Zheng He, Wan Chen and Han Qianyi are all begging in their live broadcasts, and all three have raked in quite a haul.

It’s mainly the hardcore fans who are putting in a lot of effort, most of the viewers are staying rational, just watching the excitement and not spending money.

The behavior of these three has sparked a lot of discussion online.

There’s both sympathy and aversion.

Most netizens are not fools; compared to Chen Xixi, everyone feels that Chen Xixi’s character withstands scrutiny.

After all, in the previous Mysterious Things APP incident, Chen Xixi stood with the netizens, helping them to fleece the unscrupulous capitalists.

Unlike Zheng He and the others, fleecing the netizens themselves.

The comparison made it clear who’s superior.

Thanks to the contrast provided by her peers, Chen Xixi’s popularity surged once more.

But regarding today’s financial ranking, things aren’t looking too optimistic for Chen Xixi.

The title of Money Saving King has changed hands.

Now in first place is Zheng He, with a balance of 5721 Money, just 8 Money more than Chen Xixi.

Zheng He managed to beg for so much money purely because he was so desperately into it tonight!

Sitting under a bridge, he pled poverty and sold his sob story, recounting the whole heartfelt journey of being cheated, duping the netizens into continuously sending him gifts to comfort him.

Second place is Chen Xixi, with a balance of 5713 Money.

Third is Han Qianyi, with a balance of 2989 Money.

Han Qianyi managed to beg so much purely because of the good-hearted image she had established before, while not being very appealing in this show, she is inherently good, so people are willing to help such a kind-hearted person.

Moreover, as a girl, even if she wasn’t on camera personally asking for gifts, netizens tended to sympathize with her more and were more tolerant towards her.

Fourth is Wan Chen, with a balance of 2876 Money. Wan Chen has low presence in the show, but his good looks still attract a subset of fans and wealthy women to send him gifts.

Even just now a female fan was flirting with him while sending gifts, boldly claiming she wanted him to come back with her.

Wan Chen turned red from his ears to his neck by the teasing.

Fifth is Jin Cheng, with a balance of 56 Money.

After viewing tonight’s financial rankings, the netizens almost went crazy!

[Holy shit! Zheng He actually got first place! Didn’t the show make a mistake? Or are my eyes deceiving me?]

[I can’t believe it, I simply can’t! The always-deceived Zheng He actually managed to clinch the Money Saving King title! This is so unexpected!]

[Chen Xixi, hurry up and start your live broadcast, I want to send gifts to Chen Xixi! If others have it, I won’t allow Chen Xixi to go without!]

[Chen Xixi who has been sitting firmly in the first spot for 18 days has fallen on the 19th day!]

[I want to send gifts to Xixi, I can’t accept Chen Xixi not being number one! It’s just an 8 Money difference! I will help Chen Xixi catch up!]

The finally crowned Money Saving King, Zheng He is ecstatic.

He just can’t contain the joy on his face.

Chen Xixi? He doesn’t take her seriously at all!

Just as Zheng He was finishing his live broadcast and preparing to leave, an elderly voice sounded beside him: “Young man, I see darkness in your forehead, which indicates a life of many hardships and unavoidable trials. But don’t worry, you’ve encountered me, and all of these can be easily resolved because I have connections above, able to help you defy destiny!”
