After David closed Instagram, he opened TikTok.

When he was bored, he liked to scroll through TikTok.

When he saw that the streamer he followed, Cheri was streaming, he quickly clicked to join the stream.

Cheri was a streamer that David followed a long time ago on TikTok. He followed her since she first started streaming, which was about a year ago.

David could be regarded as her first batch of fans. She started from having a few fans to having 50 thousand fans now.

Moreover, she went from having a few people, to a few dozen people, and now 2 to 300 people in her streams.

However, David never gifted her anything. He only liked her voice and enjoyed listening to her sing.

In truth, Cheri had the potential to become a star, but she only streamed her voice and not her face. This kind of stream would not attract the attention of the big shots because of the harsh reality, how many of them were here for music? Most of them were here to look at pretty girls.

Thus, even if her voice was sweet and she was good at singing, she was still a small-time streamer. She was not very popular and was not one of the big stars.

Because of what happened with Sarah, David had not watched Cheri’s stream in a month.

The moment he entered the stream, David heard the familiar voice singing ‘Un-break My Heart’.

“Un-break my heart.

“Say you'll love me again,

“Undo this hurt you caused,

“When you walked out the door,

“And out of my life.”

When David heard this song, tears welled up in his eyes.

A petty and low love would not have a good ending.

A simping fool would get nothing in the end.

After Cheri finished singing, she received a lot of gifts in her stream.

However, those were all small gifts that cost a few dollars or just over ten dollars. She did not receive any gifts worth more than a hundred dollars.

However, Cheri still thanked them by name one by one.

She was just a small streamer, so it was already great to have someone sending her gifts.

“Thank you for the gift, Mr. Rain.

“Thank you for the gift, Mr. Tall Mountain.

“Thank you for the first, Miss Love.”

David figured that since he did not lack money, he should buy some gifts for the streamer he liked.

With that, he decided to top up some money in his online wallet and topped up ten million at one go.

Then, he started buying gifts for Cheri.

He immediately bought the most expensive one—the World Star.

Cheri was still thanking the viewers who sent her gifts.

She would receive a few hundred gifts after streaming for a few hours every day. She could often get one to three hundred after that and was already very happy about it.

It was not that she did not want to show her face, but she was in her university’s dormitory, so it was inconvenient for her to do so. She had three roommates staying with her and they were dressed very casually since they were in their dorm. Plus, she was studying music and she did not want others to give her gifts because they liked her face. Instead, she hoped they only bought her gifts because they liked her voice.

Big shots would message her saying that they wanted to meet her. They also said they would push her up the list of popular streamers, but she constantly rejected them. She felt like this was like a transaction. Even though she needed money, she did not want to do this kind of this.

Suddenly, she saw a flash across her stream.

‘Is this the effect of World Star?’

She had been streaming for over a year and she had never received a World Star. However, she had seen it in other people’s streams.

A World Star cost two thousand dollars and she normally needed to stream for a whole week to make two thousand, but now someone was giving her a World Star?

Cheri could not yet see who was the one giving her a World Star when she saw another flash.

A third one…

A fourth one…

The effect of the World Star kept appearing in Cheri’s stream.

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x 10]

…

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x 66]

If someone gifted a streamer over 66 World Stars, not only would it fill the stream, it would also be broadcast all over TikTok.

In an instant, a message saying that there was a nouveau riche in Cheri’s stream appeared in other streams.

“Damn, a nouveau riche appeared in a nameless stream. I need to see this.”

“Wait for me! I’m going too!”

Viewers poured into Cheri’s stream immediately. The number of viewers increased from 200 to a thousand plus, and the number kept increasing.

“Thank you for the World Stars, Mr. Lil Match! I’m so grateful!

“Kisses! Cheri loves you!”

Cheri was so excited she did not know what to say.

However, the effect never seemed to stop.

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x666]

…

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x999]

…

[Lil Match gave streamer Cheri World Star x1314]

Finally, David stopped at 1314 World Stars, and it was also because he was tired.

Meanwhile, Cheri’s stream blew up. There were now 100 thousand people in her stream.

“F*ck me, Lil Match is such a baller.”

“Lil Match is so formidable!”

“Lil Match, my man, do you still need footmen?”

Cheri was a little stunned.

How much was 1314 World Stars?

If this was converted into money, it would be more than 2.6 million.

If she got half of it, it would be 1.3 million.

She looked at the person who sent her the gifts and saw it was a person named Lil Match. He had been following her since a long time ago, but he had never given her anything. She did not expect him to give her so much today.

So, Cheri quickly privately messaged him.

Cheri: [Thank you for the gifts, cutie. Can I follow you on Instagram?]

When David saw Cheri’s message, he sent her his username.

After a while, Cheri followed him.

Cheri: [Thank you for the gifts, cutie.]

David: [You’re welcome. I’ve been listening to you singing for so long and I’ve never sent you anything. I feel bad so I make up for all the times I didn’t give you anything in one go.]

Cheri: [Thank you for the support, cutie. If I have time, I’ll sing for you privately. My name is Claire Potter. What about you?]

David: [I’m David Lidell.]

The two talked about some random things while Claire kept on thanking David the whole time.

David walked to the french window that was 3 meters tall to look at the night view of River Leeds outside the window. It was bustling, and yet, very charming and beautiful.

Then, he used his phone to snap a few pictures of the night view and posted them on his Instagram.

His caption: [The night view on River Leeds is still so charming.]

David rarely posted on his Instagram. However, he was in a great mood today, so he could not help it.

After he posted the pictures, David was a little tired, so he lay on the luxurious bed that was 4 meters wide and fell asleep.

David had fallen asleep but the people on TikTok could not.

Especially those popular streamers.

Even though they were popular and the top three would make up to millions of dollars in a single stream, it was the guilds who gave them the money, while the streamers would not get a single cent. In reality, the streamers had to make money from the dummies that were not from any guilds who would send them money.

Just now, someone gifted a small streamer with more than 2.6 million in her stream. Plus, a small streamer like that would not have guilds to back her up. So, the person who bought her those gifts was definitely a big shot.

Why did they not get such a gigantic money bag?

With that, those popular streamers started to look into Cheri’s streams, trying to see if they could get that big shot to join their side.

Claire was lying in bed in her dormitory and she could not sleep.

Tonight, her three roommates went on a blind date with the boys from the male dormitory.

She found an excuse and said she was not feeling well so she did not have to go. In reality, she did not join this kind of activity. After all, her family background was not as good as the other three. Her family had basically used every penny they had to send her to music school. Sometimes, she would still go because she could not find an excuse to say no.

Right now, she was glad that she did not go. If not, she would have missed out on this big shot’s gifts.

He directly gave her 2.6 million. Even those popular streamers rarely encountered situations like this, let alone a small streamer like her.

Before she ended her stream, there were people from guilds contacting her. They said they wanted to partner with her and they would help her go up the ranks. They even said they would contact two popular streamers to collaborate with her so that Lil Match would be triggered. With his generosity, he might even give them tens of millions.

The guild knew the temper of this big shot. What did big shots care about the most? Their reputations of course. They could not embarrass themselves in front of their favorite streamers. As long as they could target this weak spot, then this big shot would keep giving out gifts.

Of course, the guilds boosted streamers on the rankings to scam the gullible. Claire would not get a penny of this, and might only get a percentage of the money the gullible gave her.

However, Claire rejected them. She did not want to scam David out of his money like this. Finally, she was even threatened. The other party told her that they would make her lose her job as a streamer.

Claire did not know if she would regret her decision. Plus, she also did not know if this was just a spur of the moment thing for David.

Besides, she needed to think about how she could appropriately improve her family’s living conditions with this over one million dollars she got from the donation, which was what she was allotted.

Because of all this, it was all but destined that she would lose sleep tonight.

In the meantime, David’s Instagram was blowing up. The photo of River Leeds that David posted had gotten more than 100 comments.

He managed to get a really good angle, so it was clear that he took this photo from a unit above the 30th floor in South River International Residence.

Where was South River International Residence? It was the most expensive property in South River Province. One square meter would cost 200 thousand dollars minimum, so a small unit would cost 50 million at least.

And David just posted a photo taken from here!

Comment 1: [David, where did you steal this photo from? The angle is superb!]

Comment 2: [Dave, are you working as a part time cleaner here? Can you refer me to that job? Maybe I can make some nouveau riche friends there.]

Comment 3: [Dave, are you a sugar baby to a rich woman? Do you still have any contacts? I don’t want to work hard anymore.]

There were all kinds of comments, but no one asked David whether he bought a unit there.

It was already late morning when David woke up the next day. After he washed up, he walked to the window and looked out at the scenery of the River Leeds. David still felt as if he was dreaming.

“What should I do today?

“Right, I’m going to buy a car.”

Suddenly, David remembered that he still did not know how to drive.

‘What should I do then?

‘Should I find a driver?

‘Having a driver is not as fun as driving the car myself.

‘Plus, do I even need a driver if I’m buying a sport’s car?

‘Isn’t that such a colossal joke?’

If he went to get a driver’s license now, he would only get it in at least one month.

David felt that he could not wait another month.

Then, David remembered that there was a skill column in the system and he could add whatever skill he wanted freely.

So, David pulled up the interface.

He had another lavish point. Since he topped up ten million on TikTok last night, he had spent a total of 500 million now. Hence, he had another lavish point.

David clicked the plus sign behind the skill column and entered ‘driving’.

Then, the system started loading.

A few seconds later, David felt that he that his brain had suddenly been filled with knowledge, and it was all about driving.

He knew where the brake was, where the accelerator was, and where the clutch was.

He also knew how to start the car, how to change gears, how to turn, and how to reverse the car.

It felt as if he had driven a car before and it all felt so real.

David was excited.

This system was amazing.

Right now, he wanted badly to have a car in front of him so he could try it out.

After he left his home, he walked to the Golden Leaf Hotel.

When he was at the door, Pearl came to welcome him.

“Mr. Lidell, breakfast is ready. Please come with him.”

David figured that Pearl was very professional because she knew to behave within the norms.

Last night, she was calling him darling on Instagram and it felt so intimate. Yet, today, it was Mr. Lidell.

David figured it was good for her to have a clear distinction between her work and private life.

After breakfast, Pearl purposely got close to David when they were walking out of the hotel. She whispered in his ear, “David, darling, don’t forget our appointment.”

The beautiful woman’s breath landed on David’s ear, and it turned him into jelly. He cursed silently in his heart, “You minx!”

David spent another hundred of thousands to change his outfit.

As the saying went, apparel made a man.

After David changed out of his cheap clothes into branded clothes, his appearance changed beyond recognition. Plus, he also added four lavish points to his body last night.

He looked more refreshed now, and seemed completely different from yesterday.

He looked like the son from a rich family.

If he wore this to the showroom, he would not be ignored for a few minutes in the lobby.

After he changed his clothes, he walked to a Benz specialty shop.

He had his eyes on a Benz G-Class the moment he went there. After he paid, he drove away immediately.

Since he changed his outfit, none of the salespeople looked down on him and then got a slap in the face when he swiped his card to pay.

David did not feel awkward driving the brand new Benz G-Class. At that moment, he felt that the system was truly amazing.

However, he had a question. He knew how to drive, but he did not have a license.

How would he get one?

It seemed that no one around him had this ability.

Pearl?

David figured that Pearl might know how to get him one. After all, she was a lobby manager in an eight-star hotel, so she should know a lot of powerful people.

Hence, he drove to the entrance of Golden Leaf Hotel and called Pearl.

“Darling, you’re missing little old me?” Pearl’s charming voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Miss Pearl, I need your help,” David said, going straight to the point.

“What can I help you with? Just tell me. I will do it as long as I can.”

“Can you come out for a chat? I’m outside the hotel in a new Benz G-Class on the left. The one without the license plate.”

“Alright, darling. Wait for me, I’m coming.”

In less than 5 minutes of Pearl hanging up the phone, she appeared outside David’s car.

Pearl asked after she got into the passenger’s seat, “How can I help you?”

“I want to get a driver’s license. Do you know anyone who can do that? Money’s not a problem,” David said directly.

‘Driver’s license?’ Pearl was curious. How would a super rich child like David not have a driver’s license at this age? However, since he did not say anything, she did not ask.

“This shouldn’t be hard. When do you want it?” Pearl asked.

“As soon as possible.”

“Give me your identification card. I’ll snap a picture of it.”

“Alright.”

David took out his identification card and handed it to Pearl.

After Pearl took it, he snapped a picture of it before sending it to someone.

Then, she made a call.

“Hello? Girl, I’ve sent you a picture of an identification card. Can you ask your husband to get a driver’s license for me as soon as possible?

“Alright, okay, I got it. Thanks, girl. Thank your husband for me too.”

Pearl hung up and told David, “The soonest you can get it is this afternoon.”

“Alright, thanks, Miss Pearl. How much is it? I’ll transfer it to you.”

“Don’t talk about money. Since you’re showing me so much respect by calling me Miss Pearl, then don’t be so courteous with me.”

“Alright, are you free then? Go to a place with me.” David stopped being courteous.

“I’ll make time even if I’m not free if you’re the one asking.”

“Alright, sit tight. Let’s go.”

David started the car and left Golden Leaf Hotel.

David brought Pearl to a Porsche dealership.

When the two of them walked through the door, a beautiful saleslady walked over to them.

She spotted the two of them got out of a Benz G-Class, and judging from what David was wearing, he looked like a rich kid.

Thus, she asked enthusiastically, “Sir, Miss, are you here to buy a car?”

“Yes!” David replied.

“May I know what model you’re looking for?”

“Do you have stock for the Porsche 911?”

“We do.”

“Take us to have a look.”

“Please come with me, sir.”

The beautiful saleslady brought them to a Porsche 911.

“We have two of them right now, one in red and one in black. May I know which one you want to look at, sir?”

David scanned the cars nonchalantly and answered, “I want the red one. Get me the invoice now.”

“Huh?” The beautiful saleslady was stunned. He did not even look at it and was buying it? He was so rich that it was insane.

“Sir, are you not going to take a look at it first?”

“I did. The red one is pretty nice.”

The beautiful saleslady had been working here for so long and this was the first time she was seeing someone buying a car like this. He only glanced at the exterior. He did not even look inside before asking for the invoice.

“Alright, sir, please come with me.”

Then, the saleslady led the duo to the front desk and started telling David the performance of the car.

“Sir, this red Porsche 911 is the latest sport’s car with the highest specs. It is equipped with a six-cylinder flat twin-turbocharged engine…”

“Before she could finish, David interrupted her, “Alright, enough. No need to say anything more. Just tell me how much it is.”

“May I know what setting you want?”

“Just get me the best one.”

“Alright, please wait. I’ll calculate it for you.”

Two minutes later…

“Sir, the total is 3.28 million dollars.”

After he paid, David and Pearl sat on the sofa to wait for the staff to go through the procedures.

Pearl figured since David came to buy a car, he should want her to drive the car for him. After all, he could not drive two cars back on his own. Even though she did not know why he chose red, she still suggested, “Darling, I don’t think red suits you. Why not the black one? I think the black one suits you more.”

“It’s not for me. It’s for you. I think the red one suits your temperament, Miss Pearl,” David answered with a grin.

“For me? Darling, are you joking?” Pearl asked in shock.

“Do I look like I’m joking? This is for you.”

“No way, this is too expensive. I can’t accept this.” Pearl quickly rejected.

“Miss Pearl, since you’re calling me your darling, you shouldn’t be so modest with me. You also know this money means nothing to me. It’s just a meal or two. If you reject this, then can we still have fun together in the future?”

“Um… Alright. Thank you, my dear David!”

Pearl was ecstatic. She was currently driving a 100 thousand dollar car, while her annual salary was only 5 or 600 thousand. Her rent every month, her clothes, and her makeup would take up half of her pay. Furthermore, she still had a little brother who had just graduated and was still unemployed, so she would send all of her remaining money back home.

Thus, even if she looked beautiful and polished outside, she did not have a lot of savings. She could never afford a luxury car like this also. Besides, any woman would like a red Porsche 911.

The beautiful saleslady walked behind them and heard their conversation. Right now, she was looking at Pearl with envy. She also wanted someone who was as extravagant as David who could give her a luxury car worth more than three million dollars without batting an eyelid.

“Sir, please give me your identification card or your identification number. We’ll help you apply for insurance and register for it.”

“We’ll just use yours, Miss Pearl.” David looked at Pearl and said.

“David, this isn’t appropriate, right?”

Even though David was buying this car for her, Pearl thought David would only let her drive it around. She did not think he would register the car under her name.

If that was the case, the car would belong to her. At this moment, Pearl was a little light-headed from this sudden surprise.

“Didn’t I say I’ll buy it for you? Do you think I’m joking?”

“Well, okay then. Darling, thank you so much!” ‘Pearl handed her identification car to the beautiful saleslady.

About ten minutes later…

The beautiful saleslady walked over again.

“Sir, it’s done. This is the key and the document. You can drive it away now.”

“Miss Pearl, take it. Let’s go.”

After David said that, he got up to leave.

When Pearl got the document and key, she went over to the car.

The two cars drove on the road next to each other.

Not long after, David, who was in front, received a call from Pearl.

“Darling, where are we going now?”

“Should we go back to the hotel for lunch now? But I’m not that hungry.”

“I’m not either,” replied Pearl.

“Do you want to go to my house?” David asked.

“Okay!”

The two of them drove to South River International Residence. After they parked the cars, they walked to Block 1.

Of course, Pearl had heard about South River International Residence. Plus, it was near to her work, so whenever she walked past this place, she would look at this place with envy. She could only dream about owning a house here.

Even though this dream was very far away, it would be good enough to come in to have a look.

When they got into the elevator of Block 1, they went straight to the 27th floor.

Even though Pearl was mentally prepared before she walked in, she was still stunned by the extravagance in front of her.

There was a brilliant chandelier above her and one of the walls of the lobby had been into into a huge french window facing River Leeds. Furthermore, the sofa, the television, and the painting were all incredibly luxurious.

Pearl would be willing to lose ten years of her life just to live in such an extravagant house.

“Please sit,” David asked Pearl to sit before pouring her a glass of water.

“David, darling, your house is so beautiful. River Leeds at night must be very beautiful from this angle, right?” Pearl asked while pointing at the french window.

“It’s fine. You can come anytime you want if you want to look at it.”

“Really?” Pearl asked in disbelief.

“Of course! Right, where are you from, Miss Pearl?”

“I’m from Cloud City. I’ve been working in River City for three to four years.”

“Have you bought a house here yet?”

Not yet. The housing prices here are so expensive. I don’t even know when I can afford it,” Pearl sighed ruefully.

“I think you should be able to get a mortgage on a house in River City with your salary, right, Miss Pearl?” David asked curiously.

“Actually, my salary is not that high, and I still need to take care of my parents and little brother. I need to pay rent, and my clothes and makeup are not cheap, so that’s why I can’t save much money,” Pearl said in a sad voice.
