After a moment, Lumina withdrew her hand and stood up, a hint of reluctance lingering on her face.
If I were alone, I could have kept touching for hours, she thought. But with someone watching, I have to restrain myself a bit.
"Ahem, speaking of which..."
"Little Gui, are you live streaming?" Lumina asked Guinaifen, glancing at the nearby camera.
"Live stream? Oh, right! I almost forgot!" Guinaifen slapped her forehead and hurried over to retrieve the camera.
She pulled out her phone, opened her live stream, and checked the feed.
Unsurprisingly, Lumina's appearance had sent the live stream into a frenzy, with a flood of virtual gifts pouring in.
"Uh... thank you, Magical Girl, for the 9,999 Spaceships..."
"Big spender, are you sure you didn't misclick...?"
Watching the full-platform announcement of Spaceship × 9999 in the live stream, Guinaifen couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Each Spaceship cost a million Credit Points. That meant 9,999 of them amounted to...
Nearly ten billion Credit Points! That's practically a Kafka's worth!
Though Little Gui was already one of the top streamers on the Xianzhou, this amount still made Guinaifen jump in shock, freezing her in place.
"Hmm? Little Gui, what's wrong? Did you see something?" Lumina asked, puzzled by Guinaifen's stunned expression.
"I... I... I think someone's targeting me," Guinaifen swallowed hard and handed her phone to Lumina.
"Targeting you?" Lumina remained puzzled as she took the phone and examined the screen.
[ Magical Girl ] gifted streamer Little Gui [ guinevere ] x9999 [ Spaceship ].
"Magical Girl?" Lumina raised an eyebrow at the username and tapped the screen to open the user's profile, only to find it completely empty.
Though Lumina had her suspicions, lacking concrete evidence, she still cautioned, "Magical Girl, you don't need to keep sending gifts."
[ Magical Girl ]: My money, my choice. What's it to you? I'm not gifting you anyway.
As Lumina's words faded, Magical Girl's comment flashed across the most prominent spot in the live stream's comment section.
Seeing this, the corners of Lumina's mouth curled upward slightly.
This Magical Girl is really protesting too much, isn't she?
If she had remained silent, Lumina would have had no choice but to visit the Interastral Peace Corporation's headquarters. But by speaking up so aggressively, she had revealed her identity instantly.
Still, knowing who she was didn't provide any decisive evidence, leaving Lumina still unable to take any concrete action.
[Whoa, buddy, why so aggressive?]
[Time to get to work! Open an account!]
[Holy crap, I didn't get anything, and then I got a warning call from Pierpoint...]
[Are you guys idiots? Someone who can blow through ten billion Credit Points like it's a hundred bucks is way beyond our league to open an account for. (Facepalm)]
Magical Girl's inflammatory remarks ignited a frenzy of account openings in the live stream.
But it was clear that someone capable of gifting ten thousand Spaceships, worth a total of ten billion Credit Points, must hold an extremely high position in the real world.
"Forget it, let's ignore her," Lumina said with a smile, handing the phone back to Guinaifen.
"After all, she's right—it's her money, she can spend it however she wants."
"Sigh... I really can't understand how rich people think," Guinaifen muttered, accepting the phone with a hint of bewilderment.
This is ten thousand Spaceships—worth a hundred billion Credit Points, or the bounty on a top-tier interstellar fugitive!
"Don't bother trying to understand them," Lumina chuckled. "Let's just focus on our own business." Her eyes darted to the live-streaming camera in Guinaifen's hand, as if struck by a clever idea.
"Mm, you're right," Guinaifen nodded in agreement, tapping the phone to end the live stream.
"Whoa!"
But the next moment, Guinaifen's small foot seemed to catch on something, sending her tumbling to the ground.
Reacting with lightning speed, Lumina swiftly caught her in her arms.
Coincidentally, the fall caused Guinaifen to accidentally fling both her phone and the camera into the air.
And by sheer luck, the camera's lens ended up pointing directly at the two of them.
"Are you alright?" Lumina asked Guinaifen with genuine concern, holding her, the camera, and the phone securely. Her gaze then shifted to the phone screen.
Hmm... the Magical Girl's gift-giving rate has increased significantly...
