Chapter 224: Annual Gala PK, C-Position Debut
Before Mo Si returned, the Federation Live Broadcast Company’s annual conference kicked off.
All the prominent streamers from every district attended the conference, and Jiang Qiuqiu was one of them.
This year’s PK event was the same as before. After joining, a contribution button would appear in the top-left corner of a streamer’s broadcast every time they went live. Viewers could "like" them (for free) or contribute Star Coins to boost the streamer’s popularity. After the PK competition, the platform would take a 30% cut of the contributed Star Coins, with the remainder being distributed to the streamer.
The top-ranked streamers from each category’s leaderboard would automatically advance to the next round.
In the second round, the company would have an AI randomly select contestants. Streamers from the same district would first PK against each other. The more popular one would continue to advance until they became the district’s number one. Then, the number-one streamers from each district would compete to determine the final uncrowned king.
The final uncrowned king would receive thirty percent of all funds contributed by viewers during the second round—a prize amounting to nearly ten billion Star Coins.
Jiang Qiuqiu was very interested in this. Her Spiritual Perception and control power were gradually improving, and her basic Spiritual Repair Helmet was no longer quite sufficient.
Mo Chengyu had previously offered to buy her another one, but a Mid-high Level helmet was simply too expensive, so Jiang Qiuqiu decided to buy it herself.
’If I can win that prize money, I’ll only need to add a little more of my own to buy an Advanced Helmet outright.’

「That night.」
It was the first day of the annual conference’s PK event, and the broadcast pages of every streamer in the Federation Live Broadcast Company had changed.
But one thing in Jiang Qiuqiu’s stream would never change: the enthusiasm of her audience.
At 8:00 PM sharp, Jiang Qiuqiu started her stream. The fans who had been eagerly waiting saw her hands and immediately flooded the screen with comments.
[Juju’s here!]
[Long time no see!]
"Welcome everyone, right on time for my cooking stream. I’m Jiang Jiujiu. It’s been two days! Today’s menu is Fish Head and Tofu Soup."
The number of viewers in the stream slowly climbed before stabilizing.
Once the viewer count was mostly settled, Jiang Qiuqiu announced her participation in the PK event. "Half a year has gone by in the blink of an eye, and we’ve been through a lot of ups and downs together. I’m participating in the Federation Live’s annual conference PK event, and I hope I can count on your support~"
[Juju is in the PK event too~ Ah, time to spend some money!]
[Yeah, Juju had her donation channel closed before, so we had money and nowhere to spend it (muttering quietly)]
"I won’t say too much about spending money. I just hope all my fans act within their means. Please don’t contribute more than you can comfortably afford."
"I hope everyone can be sensible..."
The contribution button only activated five minutes after the stream started. Just as Jiang Qiuqiu was talking about responsible spending, the stream hit the five-minute mark.
In an instant, countless contribution and "like" notifications flooded the top-right corner of the stream.
The moment the leaderboards went live, Jiang Qiuqiu’s stream shot straight to number one in the Food category for her district.
Everyone was incredibly supportive. Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t say much more, simply lifting a large fish from a bucket and placing it on the cutting board. "I’ll be preparing some extra portions during this period. I hope every fan in the stream can get to eat their favorite food here."
[So this is the benefit of the PK event? Then why is this PK just starting now! It should’ve started ages ago!]
"Enough talk. Let’s get right to it!"
With a swift rise and fall of her knife, the massive fish head was split in two on the cutting board.
