The Return of the Cannon Fodder Trillion Heiress - Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Chapter 499 Hera Starts Livestreaming 2
As Leo and Luke leaned in closer to Hera, they caught sight of the flood of comments pouring in.

Many echoed the sentiments of RaceIsLifeNotForFun, but fortunately, Hera’s fans were fiercely protective and relentlessly savage.

They refused to tolerate any negativity directed at her, especially when it was fueled by misogyny.

It quickly became their mission to put these trolls in their place and demonstrate just how fiercely they would defend her.

Even Hera, watching the tide of comments shift, was taken aback by the passionate support; she found herself speechless at the unexpected turn of events.

…

[AuntieNextDoor: Oh my! I had no idea that the Club President and Hera’s other suitors were with her! But wait, is that a Lincoln? Are you all cruising in an extended Lincoln on the way to the venue?!!!]

[HeraIsMySister: What’s a Lincoln? But I can definitely see that the car looks stunningly expensive! The seats seem so comfortable, and Mr. Leo and Mr. Luke still look as handsome and dashing as ever!!!]

[AuntieNextDoor: @HeraIsMySister It’s a limousine!!!!]

[HeraIsMySister: Ah! Isn’t that what the top celebrities use when they attend award-winning ceremonies and was said to be very expensive even for renting?!!!]

[Anna: @HeraIsMySister You bet! Even the one who won Best Actress last year had to pay a large sum to rent one of those and she had to be frugal afterwards to keep up with her expenses.]

…

When both Leo and Luke saw their names mentioned, they instinctively sat up straight and puffed out their chests, pretending to drink from the bottled water that Dave had passed to them.

“Sweetheart, are you livestreaming?” Dave chimed in, determined to make his presence felt among the viewers of Hera’s stream.

Although he had already figured out she was live based on Leo and Luke’s reactions, he feigned ignorance, pretending he just needed to ask.

Meanwhile, Xavier and Zhane, who were well aware of Dave’s antics, didn’t want to let Leo and Luke hog the spotlight either.

They joined in, ensuring their own presence was known on camera.

“Would you like me to hold that for you? You could start a little Q&A segment to engage with your fans,” Zhane suggested, leaning in slightly from the side of the car. His position kept him a bit farther from Hera than Leo and Luke, but he was eager to contribute.

Ever since their date, Zhane had made a point to understand the celebrity lifestyle better, diving into the world of live streaming and fan interaction.

Sitting next to him, Xavier raised an eyebrow at Zhane’s newfound enthusiasm for fan engagement.

Just a short time ago, Zhane had focused solely on his research and work, and now he was suggesting ways to connect with fans.

The suggestion was explosive, causing Dave, Xavier, and even Luke to stare at Zhane as if he had just sprouted another head.

But Zhane paid them no mind, focusing instead on Hera, who was contemplating his idea.

With a flood of criticizing comments coming in alongside her fans defending her, she realized that Zhane’s recommendation was far more constructive than simply sitting back and reading the negativity.

Engaging with her audience could shift the conversation and empower her supporters.

“Sure,” Hera said with a smile as she handed her phone to Zhane.

This allowed the viewers to catch a clearer glimpse of the inside of the Lincoln, which looked far more extravagant than what other celebrities had showcased during their livestreams.

This was particularly striking when compared to one celebrity who frequently boasted about her wealth as an heiress, claiming it was the reason so many people followed her.

However, in contrast to the ostentatious display of luxury in Hera’s livestream, many viewers began tagging that celebrity.

A wave of her fans flooded the comments, criticizing Hera for attempting to emulate their idol’s style of livestreaming, only to be met with the undeniable allure of the opulence surrounding her and the attractive eye candies beside her.

As a result, they quickly forgot their anger and settled in front of their PCs and cell phones to watch.

After all, who could resist the charm of handsome men and a stunning woman sitting in a luxurious car worth millions?

Before long, Hera’s livestream skyrocketed to the top of the platform’s rankings.

The moderator Betty had spoken with was so impressed that he actively promoted her stream.

Gerald, lounging in one of the VIP seats at the venue to support his boss, received a notification about Hera’s livestream.

Following her account, he quickly noticed the flood of negative comments and barked orders to suppress them.

However, upon witnessing Hera’s easygoing demeanor and the fierce loyalty of her fans, he rescinded his orders.

Instead, he decided to top up his account, knowing that the platform had a maximum limit of ten thousand dollars for deposits made him top up numerous times.

After completing multiple transactions, he sent gifts in Hera’s livestream, his golden username flashing brightly and standing out among the others.

The comment section momentarily fell silent, with only his name prominently displayed.

….

With each series of gifts he sent, a treasure chest appeared on viewers’ screens, inviting them to click for coins that could be exchanged for real cash or used for online purchases.

This momentarily surprised the audience, prompting a frenzy of tapping on their screens.

Typically, each supergift granted viewers one chance to tap and win a random amount of prizes, but the number of winners was limited as these prizes were deducted from the platform’s income.

However, this strategy was part of a broader marketing effort to attract new users and encourage livestreamers to invest more in boosting their streams, ultimately drawing in a larger audience.

However, since Gerald had sent gifts worth x999 each time, the number of viewers in Hera’s livestream skyrocketed, causing the platform to lag significantly.

Some viewers struggled to receive any coins at all, as the lag was so severe that no matter how fervently they clicked, their screens remained unresponsive.

Even Hera was taken aback by the flurry of congratulatory messages flooding her screen, each one announcing the receipt of a supergift along with the usernames of generous contributors.

Dave clicked his tongue, narrowing his eyes. “Tsk! I can do better.”

Without hesitation, he logged into his account and quickly completed a few transactions before sending even more gifts.

The others in the car followed suit, each of them silently contributing their own gifts.

The influx of donations caused the platform to lag further as the viewer count continued to soar.

Meanwhile, other live streamers were left speechless as the world notifications of the supergifts flooded their screens, watching helplessly as their viewers began to leave in droves, some even joining the fray to get in on the action.

[DashaISABeauty: Wow! If I had known I could earn so many coins here, I would have just followed this amazing sister’s live stream instead of doing my own. The coins I’ve earned from tapping the treasure chests are worth more than what I’d make in three months of nonstop streaming!]
