A supercar. One hundred dollars.
\ [You think you can talk to me like that? You're Miles, right? And Grayson—just the three of you losers.]
This user "PranksterKingpin" was really full of himself. But he had the means to back it up.

Five times in a row—five hundred dollars' worth of gifts in one go!
"Big bro PranksterKingpin—why you so fired up? Who are you anyway?" Lexi teased, batting her eyelashes when she saw this rich kid splurging.
\[I'm Tanner Caldwell.]
The username "PranksterKingpin" typed in the chat.
"I knew it was him," Tyler snorted. Tanner Caldwell was a second-generation rich kid. He had money, a big ego, and lived locally. Everyone saw him hanging out with different groups all the time.
"Oh, it's you! Thank you so much, Tanner Caldwell big bro! Muah!" Lexi said happily, "Thanks for spending so much on supercars!"
"Damn! A busty babe like her only says 'thank you' to us, but calls this guy 'big bro.' Ugh," Tyler muttered sourly. The rush of pride he'd felt when Lexi had thanked him just moments ago was gone.
"That's just how it goes," Miles comforted him. "If you dropped fifty thousand, she'd call you 'hubby.'"
"What's up, Tyler? You still can't afford to drop gifts? Bring your two broke roommates and Grayson too—come on, let's see you try!" PranksterKingpin (Tanner) egged them on.
\[PranksterKingpin just gifted a rocket!]

Ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching. Five rockets! On this platform, each rocket was two hundred dollars—twice the price of a supercar.
"Boss Tanner, thank you so much! You're amazing, Boss Tanner!" Lexi went wild, striking all sorts of cute, flirty poses for the camera.
\[Boss Tanner is incredible!]
\[Seriously, Tanner is the real deal. Look at us—buying gifts like that means skipping breakfast sandwiches tomorrow morning.]
Most viewers in the livestream know Tanner , so they weren't shy about flattering Tanner.
\[Tanner the Great—where are you?] someone typed.
\[Oh, I'm at Lamborghini Lounge, hanging with some good buddies. You all should come by—so many models here, haha.]
Tanner's words were laced with that classic "look-at-me-I'm-rich" vibe.
\[System notification: PranksterKingpin has been promoted to room moderator.]
"Boss Tanner, I've made you a moderator. Can you help me watch over the chat?" Lexi felt like she had met her Prince Charming.
"Sure," Tanner replied. "If I have time, I'll send more gifts. It's just money—unlike some people who send a scarf and make a big deal, naming themselves. Don't act like you can get the goddess with a scarf!" Tanner said with a smirk.
"Shoot, he's talking about me," Tyler couldn't help feeling a bit stung, cheeks burning red.
"This guy thinks a little spoiled cash makes him something special!" Miles spat back.
They grumbled under their breath, but watching Tanner and Lexi flirt on screen—while everyone else gushed praise for Tanner—left Tyler and Miles green with envy.
\[silentG just gifted a yacht!] Suddenly, the system notification popped up.
"Holy crap—someone just gifted a yacht! That's a thousand dollars each! That's way too rich-man!" Tyler's eyes went wide as he stared at his phone.
"No way. Who's silentG? From our group? There's no way anyone here is richer than Tanner!" Miles exclaimed.
Meanwhile, the chat went wild.
\[Who's silentG?]
\[Insane—someone gifted a yacht! Mr. Big Spender, take me with you!]
\[Is it someone in our group? A hidden rich kid!]
\[Could it be Lexi's boyfriend?]
\[No way—Lexi doesn't have a boyfriend!]
The whole chat exploded with speculation about this mysterious silentG. Even Lexi was momentarily speechless. She'd completely forgotten to say thanks.
Because—seriously—a yacht! A thousand dollars! She couldn't believe it.
"Thank you, thank you, big bro silentG, thank you…" Lexi stammered, not nearly as relaxed as before. She was desperate to leave a good impression on this silentG, so her words came out awkward.
\[silentG just gifted a yacht!]

One…two…three…ten yachts in total, ten thousand dollars' worth.
"Holy crap!" Miles and Tyler jumped up. "Grayson, you watching Lexi's stream? Someone gifted ten yachts—that's ten grand! Oh my God!"
Down the hall, the other rooms full of guys from Grayson's group were howling too.
And the livestream chat was even more manic than before.
\[That's savage—ten grand!]
\[Oh my God, I'm going crazy!]
\[silentG, you in our group? Please say yes—I wanna run with you forever!]
\[Definitely not our classmate. Must be Lexi's friend—and that friendship's something else if they spend this much.]
"Big bro silentG, thank you! Thank you, I wanna hug you!" Lexi's eyes sparkled, all doe-like as she looked into the camera with that adorable, kittenish vibe, like she wanted to curl up in silentG's arms.
\[Lexi, spill it—who is silentG?]
\[Yeah, tell us!]
"I—I don't know who silentG is. Big bro silentG, who are you? Do I know you? Maybe dinner's on me!" Lexi asked, wide-eyed curiosity written all over her face.
\[Wait, what? Lexi doesn't even know who silentG is?]
\[No way. It's just a gift, right?]
Finally, silentG spoke.
\[I just want to show everyone that money isn't that awesome—there's always someone richer. Remember: don't look down on a kid just because they're poor. Never look down on anyone.]
"Preach!" Miles and Tyler slapped their thighs enthusiastically.
"This silentG is the real deal—class act. Not like Tanner Caldwell, that nouveau riche jerk." Miles sighed in admiration.
"Yeah, silentG's my idol," Tyler added, excitement in his voice.
silentG's comment had smoothed everything over. After all, what was Tanner Caldwell in comparison? silentG casually dropped ten grand on the table and preached humility—meanwhile Tanner's thousand-dollar splurge looked puny.
In the chat, people showered silentG with praise.
\[silentG, you're amazing.]
\[Yeah, silentG, you're clearly from a good family—no way you could talk like that otherwise.]
\[silentG, you must have a story.]
Meanwhile, Tanner was quiet. He'd been talked down.
"Lexi, what's going on? I heard someone sent you a gift?" a new face appeared on the live video. It was another girl, also pretty, but in a different way. If Lexi was cute and bubbly, this girl looked more like a car model—sexy, with a hint of mischief.
"Damn, it's Sienna that bitch!" Tyler recognized her instantly and spat that out.
Sienna was Grayson's ex-girlfriend—and now she lived in the same dorm as Lexi. At first, she hadn't cared that Lexi started streaming. But when she heard Lexi gushing about "big bro silentG," she got curious and tuned in.
"Whoa, ten yachts? Who is that?" Sienna's expression flickered between shock and envy. Ten yachts—ten thousand dollars!
"Big bro silentG, where are you?" Lexi tipped her fingers to her cheeks, acting cute.
"Who's silentG? A friend of yours?" Sienna asked, trying to play it cool, but her tone dripped curiosity. If silentG wasn't a real-life friend, why would they drop so much money? It was Lexi's very first stream, after all.
"Nope, I just met big bro silentG a moment ago," Lexi answered honestly.
Sienna's eyes narrowed. First time meeting and this guy showers her with ten yachts? Was silentG just cluelessly rich?
"Big bro silentG, are you there?" Sienna called out to the camera.
There was a long silence. Then:
\[I'm here.]
"Oh my god, big bro silentG replied! I'm so happy!" Sienna clutched her chest and said, "Big bro silentG, if I start my own stream, will you come support me too?"
"Damn it—this bitch is trying to hit on silentG!" Tyler snapped.
"Breaking up with Grayson was the best move she ever made. This girl latches onto rich guys—no shame. She already has a jerk of a new boyfriend anyway," Miles added indignantly.
In the chat, silentG continued to stay quiet for a moment.
\[Do you have a boyfriend?] silentG suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Sienna froze. Then she shook her head, offering a sweet, innocent smile. "Big bro silentG, how could I have a boyfriend? You're such a tease."
"Sienna, why lie about not having a boyfriend? Didn't you just break up with Grayson and start seeing Sebastian?" Lexi couldn't help but call her out.
Girls are like that—rarely genuine friends. Lexi wasn't about to let Sienna steal silentG's attention.
"Well, Sebastian and I are just… close. Haven't defined anything yet. And Grayson? I dumped that loser ages ago!" Sienna blushed, hastily defending herself. Embarrassed by Lexi's revelation, she handed the mic back.
"Big bro silentG, are you still there?" Lexi asked sweetly, "Huh? He's offline now."
Meanwhile, in Room 306, Grayson tossed his iPhone aside and lay back on his bed, feeling an odd mix of emotions he couldn't quite sort out.
