Chapter 72: The Lavish Gift Shower

Meanwhile, in Irene's livestream. The flood of malicious comments made it difficult for Irene's fans to see clearly. Madame Kashi, being elderly, struggled to read the fast-moving messages and anxiously put on her glasses, smiling, "Children, slow down the comments. Grandma can't see the messages from those who truly need help." **[A bunch of old hags, almost in their graves, still out here scamming?]** **[When my grandma was this old, she was at home watching TV all day. If you're poor, I can donate a few bucks to you.]** **[Die tomorrow if you're lying, stop talking, no one wants to hear you.]** Irene's face turned dark. These people, hiding behind the anonymity of the internet, said the most hurtful things. Madame Kashi was still straining to read the scrolling comments, and Irene sighed with relief. Thank goodness Grandma didn't see those. Madame Kashi chuckled bitterly, taking off her glasses and rubbing her eyes, "Ah, getting old, my eyes aren't what they used to be." Irene seized the moment, "Grandma, you should take a rest. Dr. Tony said your eyes need to relax." Madame Kashi, still feeling unwell after being upset by Kashi's visit the previous day, didn't argue. She let Irene help her back to her room. Emma appeared in the livestream to explain, "Grandma is not feeling well, so the host is taking her to rest. Sorry for the delay, everyone." **[Hmph, at least that old hag has some conscience!]** **[Not feeling well? I think she was just too ashamed to continue!]** **[What private investigator? Just a greedy scammer chasing trends.]** **[Exactly! In situations like this, you should call the police!]** **[Makes sense. After all, the host did tell that person to report to the police in the end.]** **[BlackCat]: Don't be misled! If the host were as malicious as they say, why would she advise MoonNotRound to call the police? She would have just kept the case for her livestream!** **[HappyFamily]: Right! Besides, that last incident had a lot of hidden details. Even if the host had evidence, what if the culprits conspired to deceive the court?** **[Tyrannosaur097]: Where did all these haters come from? So disgusting!** **[What's disgusting is this host! You guys still follow her? Our Apple is way better!]** **[SleepyCat]: You know, the more you say, the more I doubt this host. Do you have any recommended streamers?** **[Yes! Witch's Apple is great! People often come back to her stream to thank her for helping them!]** **[Not cool to advertise here. Apple doesn't like her fans promoting her in other streams.]** **[SleepyCat]: Oh, I get it! That Apple person is just stirring the pot!** **[Hilarious, Apple gets tens of thousands per stream. Your host? Who's leeching off whom?]** **[BlackCat]: That's because our host refuses to take gifts or tips!** **[Sure, that's what every unpopular streamer says.]** That last comment enraged Irene's fans, making them shake with anger. Just then, Irene returned and sat back in front of the screen. At that moment, a large, golden comment appeared in the livestream. **[Super Black Gold King VIP User Mosin sends 100 Angel Hearts. Meteor shower will randomly drop in the livestream!]** Irene raised an eyebrow. Mosin? Mosinaghan? Was it Stefan? **[Tyrannosaur097]: I'm so jealous, that's 100 Angel Hearts, worth ten thousand dollars, right?]** **[BlackCat]: As expected from the host, getting such expensive gifts on her second stream!] As the gift effects ended, another dazzling comment lit up the chat. **[Super Black Gold King VIP User sends a Meteor Shower, random love hearts will drop in the stream!]** **[HalfAPeach]: Oh my god, the big spender is amazing! I got 100Q dollars! Who else got it?]** **[ShepherdNotADog]: Haha, those Apple fans, look at this! Anyone gifting her like this? Still mocking our host for having no money or popularity?]** **[HappyFamily]: This isn’t popularity? Apple sets such high standards for herself yet can't meet them. Has she ever reflected on why?]** 100 Angel Hearts not only bring income to the host but also attract everyone on the platform to the livestream. It's the most beloved gift among streamers, without a doubt. Stefan's generous gift drew tens of thousands of new viewers to the stream. Emma beamed with joy, her voice sweet, "Welcome new viewers! Don't forget to follow the stream!" Meanwhile, in Witch's Apple's livestream, many viewers left. Witch's Apple had to interrupt a crying caller to say, "What's happening? Why are so many people leaving?" **[Charger]: The Detective Agency stream received 100 Angel Hearts.** Witch's Apple laughed lightly, "Just Angel Hearts? MoneyBro sends them all the time." **[Smiley]: MoneyBro, shall we send one?** **[IAmRich]: AppleSis spoke, so let's send one!** A viewer generously sent an Angel Heart. Usually, such flashy gifts would draw a wave of admiration and cheers, but today, the response was lukewarm. **[Only one? That's it?]** **[Boring, the other stream got 100! Now sending meteor showers, already sent fifteen!] **[I bet that guy will send twenty!]** 100 Angel Hearts? Witch's Apple clenched her hand under the table. One Angel Heart costs a thousand dollars, so 100 is ten thousand? She forced a sweet smile, "Just 100 Angel Hearts? MoneyBro could send that easily, right MoneyBro?" **[IAmRich]: Apple, want it? No problem, let's meet up. I'll treat you to dinner.** Witch's Apple gripped her book tightly, barely maintaining her smile, "MoneyBro, you know I'm different from other streamers." **[IAmRich]: Spent so much on you and can't even meet?** Witch's Apple forced a gentle tone, "MoneyBro, we see each other on video every day." **[IAmRich]: That's not the same. Be straightforward, I won't do anything. Just meet. Ten thousand for a video? Are you serious?**
