Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 178: Tens of Millions of Fans

And so, Dong Dongdong, who had just arrived, was immediately identified as a paid troll.

He pulled out his "circle master" badge and a medal for following for 14 years, declaring that he couldn’t possibly be a paid troll.

However, the trolls said: It’s precisely because your profile is so impressive that Jiang Jiujiu was willing to pay a high price to recruit you as a troll.

Look at what you’re saying. Which part doesn’t sound like you’re just singing her praises?

Dong Dongdong: ...

Dong Dongdong: Calling me a paid troll? You guys are the real paid trolls.

[You’re the real paid troll! Who knows who bought you off, but don’t believe him, everyone!]

[You only know the truth once you taste it. It’s the kind of stuff you eat once and never want again, and you’re still here hyping it up?]

They were so convincing, acting as if they were genuinely passersby who had been scammed.

Dong Dongdong only knew how to reason with them, but one man is no match for many, and he was actually starting to lose the argument against the trolls.

Luckily, he had backup!

With a rallying cry, the foodies who had gone to Jiang Qiuqiu’s live stream with him finally showed up. As people who were actually there, it was obvious at a glance who was just trying to stir up trouble.

How could the foodies tolerate such delicious food being slandered like this? They all rolled up their sleeves and jumped into the fray.

Because they were so organized and disciplined, with coordinated replies and such sincere, over-the-top praise for Jiang Qiuqiu, some clueless passersby who joined the chaotic fray actually thought they were witnessing a war between rival paid trolls.

And so, a perfectly good thread turned into a scene of everyone accusing each other of being paid trolls.

The two sides went back and forth. Because the opposing faction of haters was so articulate, Dong Dongdong’s team of middle-aged folks gradually started to fall behind. Fortunately, thanks to their superior numbers, they were still locked in a stalemate.

Seeing they were about to lose and that newcomers all thought they were paid trolls, he had a flash of inspiration and started talking like the haters.

He started speaking exclusively in sarcasm.

[How could you give five stars to such disgusting food? Everyone knows you’re just a paid troll blinded by Star Coins!]

[How could you give one star to such delicious food? Everyone knows you’re a fake!]

At this, the studio had enough: [Why are you paid trolls copying the way we talk?]

[Because us middle-aged folks have a limited vocabulary, and we discovered that talking like you is actually quite persuasive.]

...

What followed was all sorts of childish bickering.

Suddenly, someone from the middle-aged circle-member group started swearing oaths to prove their innocence: [We’re telling the absolute truth! If I’m lying, may I lose three hundred hairs tomorrow!]

[We’re the real circle members! We’re definitely not faking it, or else may I gain ten pounds in one day!]

[...Or else I won’t get my promotion!]

[If I’m lying, may my stocks plummet tomorrow!]

An onlooker, seeing how earnest these people were, replied in shock, "Are you guys really going that far?"

As soon as that was said, the paid trolls started swearing oaths too. After all, swearing an oath is free. It’s just empty words.

[If I’m a paid troll, may I lose my job tomorrow!]

[If I’m a paid troll, may I fail my exams!]

[May I lose my boyfriend!]

A perfectly good flame-war thread suddenly turned into a massive oath-swearing ceremony.

Just then, Jiang Qiuqiu’s fans also heard the news and rushed over to support their goddess.

’I’m a hardcore fan, I’ll join in!’

[Jiang Jiujiu’s food is super delicious! If it’s not, I’ll live stream myself drinking the most disgusting Nutrient Liquid in the entire interstellar space!]

[If it’s not good, I’ll wash my hair while doing a handstand!]

[If it’s not good, I’ll eat a Distilled Bird right here on the spot!]

[If it’s not good, I’ll...]

Yet another group of people, with a completely different style of swearing oaths, had arrived.

With so many people pouring in, the thread became more and more popular.

Countless onlookers laughed as they watched, but a flicker of curiosity also crossed their minds.

’Just who is this streamer, Jiang Jiujiu?’

And so, after a full day and night of battle in that thread, Jiang Qiuqiu’s live stream started right on schedule.

Tens of millions of curious onlookers flooded into Jiang Qiuqiu’s live stream room.

What a beautiful scene it was.

To Meimei, who was monitoring the backend data, these people weren’t just visitors—

They were fans. Tens of millions of fans.
