Chapter 270: 268, Lure the enemy deeper! How about 10 million?
268. Lure the Enemy Deeper! What About 10 Million?
"Actually, we could afford to lose one round. We've calculated that the other side has already spent more than 7 million. How much capital do they have left?" Han Wu, the deputy head of the Rainbow Guild, then spoke up.
"What?" Cat God frowned secretly.
"We still have over 4.5 million in funds. Cat God, how much can you contribute?" Emperor Qin asked.
"If you can put up 4.5 million, I can do the same. That means we have about 9 million left. I suggest we pool our resources and each side puts up 5 million. That way, it'll be 10 million."
Seeing Cat God say this, Emperor Qin considered it for a moment. "No problem, I can sponsor it privately. This time, we must win."
The deputy head Han Wu sighed. "Yes, we must win. And with the current situation, our chances of winning are high! The other side was too showy this round, directly gifting 3 million. If we concede one round, that 3 million is saved. So, for them to defeat us, they would have to put up 17 million. I don't believe someone would spend that much for a female streamer."
Cat God nodded. "Yes, we're trailing by 2 million this round, which means we've saved 2 million. It's okay to let the opponent win; we'll just push harder in the next two rounds."
"Then I'll inform Cotton Candy!" Emperor Qin declared.
In their respective Live Streaming Rooms, Cotton Candy, upon receiving the Guild's notice, smiled and said to Liu Hanyan, "Little Beer sister, you've won this round, but we've arranged for a strategy of losing one to win two. Are you ready?"
Liu Hanyan scoffed, "What's this strategy of losing one to win two? Does my Big King need such favors from you?"
"?????"
"Damn it, are they not even trying to hide it anymore?"
"Concealment is explanation! Very bold!"
"A Little Beer Fairy? A Big King? Think about it carefully!"
"Don't bother; the guy is already gone."
"Be rational. Calculate it. Million Brother has already spent over 7 million today; could you do that?"
"Excuse me, can't learn Million Brother's flirting techniques!"
"That's why all we can do is freeload!"
"Honestly, whether it's Little Bear or Cotton Candy next door, I find both so pretty. Why do they have to fight?"
"Hahaha!"
"Scram, Cotton Candy was the one who started disgusting people first."
Luofeng sent a bullet screen message, "So it's a strategy of losing one to win two? Could you please just go 2-0 and take me out already? This is Huya Live Streaming. Showing off requires gifting; everything else is nonsense. You've calculated well. I indeed wasted 2 million this round, but do you think that just because of that, you can defeat me in the next two rounds?"
Luofeng continued on the bullet screen, "Garbage is garbage. Obsessing over a mere 2 million and all this talk of losing one to win two? Didn't you start losing the moment you resorted to tactics?"
Luofeng saw that the other side was playing mind games. Wasn't he himself a yin and yang master? But Luofeng only picked on those who irritated him. For ordinary friends, Luofeng never played such games.
In response to Luofeng's taunting, Cotton Candy, the Rainbow Guild, and Cat God all chose to remain silent. Were they really determined to drag it out and try to lose one to win two? After all, to them, Luofeng was just using reverse psychology.
In the end, Liu Hanyan took the first round, and the second round started immediately.
Luofeng first recharged 800,000 Huya Coins, enough for 100 Emperor activations.
What about Cotton Candy's side? She started the round with gifts worth 2 million.
Luofeng didn't continue to recharge; he threw out 236 treasure maps instead. This way, he led them into thinking he might have run out of ammunition.
Luofeng then recharged another 800,000 Huya Coins for more Emperor activations and threw out 198 treasure maps. This put him ahead, but the margin wasn't very big.
This situation seemed to indicate that Luofeng had indeed run out of ammunition. But was that actually the case? Of course not.
In the first round, Luofeng had charged ahead, realizing he had overestimated the other side. They stopped following after two rounds of 3 million? Now they wanted to play tactics?
Confronted with this situation, Luofeng also started playing tactics: pretending to be weak to lure the enemy in. After all, Luofeng's ultimate goal was to get the other side to spend as much as possible. Step by step, as they all continued to gift, they would find themselves in a dilemma. After all, who would just drop 5 million? Or 10 million? Luofeng certainly could, but he feared scaring the wits out of the small fry!
Soon, the opponents released 200 treasure maps. Luofeng didn't maintain his high stance; just beating them by a little was enough.
This went on several times. Cat God and the Rainbow Guild had each contributed 4 million in funds, for a total of 8 million. But they also noticed something amiss. Although Luofeng wasn't going as hard as the one-time 3 million anymore, it seemed like… every time they gifted, he could follow? Didn't his funds seem bottomless?
Seizing the opportunity, Luofeng typed, "What's the situation? Not following? Planning to backdoor? Hurry up; I'm waiting for you guys!"
Luofeng sent messages mocking them, but he actually had a motive: to make the other side spend their money. Then he would hold back, meaning he'd let the other side win the second round. With a third round still to go? Wouldn't this routine allow for securing more of their funds? This is how to gracefully lose a round in order to obtain a greater payout from the opposition. Of course, if both rounds were drawn, they wouldn't give up in the third round, would they? After all, they had already invested so much money. Did Luofeng need to show off in the Live Streaming Room? What was the point of a 2-0 win? What good is showing off?
Luofeng had no feelings for these female streamers, excluding his own Little Fairy. So, the abundant rewards from the System were his only goal.
This guy! Luofeng's rhetoric was evidently treated by Emperor Qin as reverse psychology. Emperor Qin started discussing with Han Wu, Suspecting that Luofeng was planning some conspiracy.
But Han Wu couldn't hold back and directly gifted a million.
On Luofeng's side, with 100,000 Huya Coins left in his account, he had already given up on the second round.
"Stop gifting!"
"It's intentional!"
"They want us to invest more money!"
This is a ploy to lure the enemy deeper in!
Ever seen someone luring chickens? Baiting with one grain at a time! That's their game!
At this moment, Emperor Qin, Han Wu, and Cat God all realized the other party's trick. Luofeng was always just a little ahead of them, but his resources seemed endless. Wasn't this luring the enemy in? Each time giving them hope? But every time, all they saw was despair!
Eventually, they found that Luofeng's routine had led them to exceed their budget!
