Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 168: The Hater Studio

Qingshan Green Water Studio.

No. 1: Boss, it’s time.

Boss: Send them in. Tonight, you absolutely must tear that livestream down.

No. 1: OK.

No. 1: When it comes to stirring up trouble, we’re the pros.

Boss: From now on, your team will be permanently assigned to that streamer. Don’t stop until you take her down.

No. 1: ! Someone’s paying for a long-term contract? They’re loaded!

Boss: That’s right. Tell your people to go all out and stir up as much trouble as possible. If they take her down, everyone gets a 2,000 Star Coin bonus on top of their salary.

2,000 Star Coins! That was a huge sum of money!

No. 1 quickly forwarded the message to his troll group chat, which instantly erupted with glee. Even though they hadn’t earned a single coin yet, it already felt like they had hit the jackpot.

At 7:50 PM, all the trolls mobilized! They began moving in waves toward Jiang Qiuqiu’s livestream, the Federation Food Circle, and Jiang Jiujiu’s fan circles. Some went in to lurk, while others began to stir up trouble!

In the Federation Food Circle, a crowd of older men and women were herded along, swarming into Jiang Qiuqiu’s livestream.

With a mix of curious onlookers, indignant fans, paid trolls, and loyal supporters who rushed in to defend Jiang Qiuqiu, the number of viewers in the stream broke 300 million for the first time.

She began with her familiar opening line: "Welcome, everyone, to my food livestream. Today’s menu is Fried Crispy Pork Bites."

Two massive slabs of pork belly lay on the countertop. Jiang Qiuqiu picked one up and held it up to the camera. "The main ingredient for today’s dish is, once again, Gugu Beast meat."

"I didn’t include this dish during my Gugu Beast special, but I remembered it today, so I’m adding it to the list now."

Jiang Qiuqiu was composed, but the trolls were anything but.

The moment they flooded in, before her fans, the neutral onlookers, or the curious newcomers could even react, they unleashed a torrent of inflammatory comments in the chat.

"So you finally decided to go live, huh? After that huge fiasco this afternoon, aren’t you going to respond?"

"Is your food really worth millions? Doesn’t look all that special to me."

"You sound pretty young. Are you this desperate for clout already?"

"What’s with kids these days? Can’t they just rely on actual talent instead of chasing clout all the time—"

...

The comments grew more and more outrageous. Although her fans fought back, there was a world of difference between the typing speed of a regular person and a professional troll.

Besides, it was genuinely upsetting for ordinary fans to see their idol get attacked.

But when a troll got attacked in return—

「Inside the Qingshan Green Water Studio chat.」

—Hehe, this streamer’s fans are pretty lively, eh? They’re real people! I’m getting pumped!

—She’s arguing with me! Doesn’t she know I was born to be a contrarian? I’m gonna argue her into the ground!

—Wow, someone else is trying to reason with me. I’ve noticed this streamer’s fans love to try and reason with people. Too bad for them! I’m not listening, not listening, not listening!

—For our 2,000 Star Coin bonus! Charge!

Trolls are immune to being flamed. They can completely ignore everyone around them, focusing solely on their objective.

Unless, of course, the target takes the bait.

The commotion in the chat grew louder and louder. Jiang Qiuqiu, who had been holding the pork belly, suddenly placed it back on the cutting board. She pulled up the livestream’s virtual screen, and in an instant, countless questioning and accusatory comments flooded the video feed.

The atmosphere abruptly fell silent.

「Inside the work chat.」

—No way, no way. This streamer can’t keep her cool that easily? Is she about to start flaming people?

—It’s possible. Looks like she’s had it pretty easy so far, like she’s never really been attacked before. And she looks so young... she probably can’t take the heat.

—Whoa, isn’t that great? That 2,000 Star Coin bonus is as good as ours.

The trolls in this group were all veterans. They’d taken on countless jobs to flame people and ruin reputations, and they were completely accustomed to the process.

For them, the target’s breakdown and loss of composure was a cause for celebration.

The faster their target broke down, the happier they were. After all, they were paid by the job, and this one even came with a bonus.

But Jiang Qiuqiu refused to give them the satisfaction.
