Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 378 - 397: This Is Juju’s Unseen, Secret Nook

Jiang Qiuqiu was never afraid to show her ambition.

In a lighthearted tone, she said she wanted to be the true number one.

Her words stunned the fans in the group chat for a moment.

Although everyone loved Juju and had immense faith in her abilities, believing her cooking was impossible to refuse...

...the thrones of the top three streaming categories weren’t so easily shaken.

Viewer numbers, factions, and all sorts of other issues couldn’t always be explained away by "skill" alone.

But a middle-aged fan quickly remembered Jiang Jiujiu’s age.

’She’s just a young girl who’s barely an adult. What’s wrong with being a little ambitious? She just doesn’t understand the complex politics involved.’

Just imagining Juju, with a serious expression on her face and her almond-shaped eyes fixed, saying something like, "I want to be number one," was unbearably cute.

So, the tough guys and gals in the group immediately chimed in, saying, "Yes, yes, yes! Number one, number one, number one!"

"Our Juju is the best!"

After a round of praise, a veteran fan gave Qiuqiu a little advice, explaining that she shouldn’t so casually say she was aiming for first place. If a major streamer heard it, or if she didn’t end up getting first, it would be easy for people to criticize her.

It had to be said, he was being rational and was genuinely thinking of Jiang Jiujiu’s best interests to have said that.

But—

Juju: I’m not afraid.

Juju: I’m not afraid to show my ambition. I just want to get first place, to strive for the top! It doesn’t matter if a major streamer hears me, and it doesn’t matter if I don’t get first place in the end.

Juju: Anyone is allowed to have a goal. Even if you don’t achieve it, as long as you tried your best, that’s what counts.

Her words carried the unique, sharp edge of youth.

Yearning for success, yet unafraid of failure.

Getting to know her better, everyone suddenly realized that the soft, sweet, and gentle little cutie Juju had a very different side to her.

Jiang Jiujiu: But I’m still very happy to have everyone’s support. I’ll announce tomorrow’s menu here so you don’t have to keep wondering.

Jiang Jiujiu: Tomorrow, we’re making a Tempura Set~ It’ll be mainly shrimp, served with some sweet or savory vegetables. And this is no dream, the PK bonus is back! So eat a bit more today and tomorrow!

— (づ￣3￣）づ╭❤～

— Okay, okay, got it!

— So, shrimp tempura? That sounds a little familiar.

In the end, the discussion in the group chat concluded with talk of food.

Meanwhile, after Wanxing added Jiang Qiuqiu to the fan chat, the active big shots in the group quickly created another group chat, pulling in several hundred of the veteran members.

Group Name: Juju’s Secret Hideout.

Inside, they argued for a bit about whether to invite Wanxing.

— We can’t! She’s one of Juju’s people now. Wouldn’t adding her be like letting in a live spy?!

— But... you even added Terry, @Terry is a wolf.

— ?? WTF, who added him? Can’t you see this is a secret corner?

— He’s already here, so stop arguing. It’s not like we’re plotting a rebellion. If we’re just planning a few surprises, they won’t go blabbing about it. Right, @Terry?

Terry is a wolf: I won’t snitch or expose anything. I want in on the action, too.

— See? He’s one of us. Since he’s here, let’s just add Wanxing too!

— We’re not going to add a marketing and operations genius? The three hundred of us combined aren’t as clever as she is.

Hearing that, everyone thought about it and agreed. Right, might as well bring her in.

And so, Wanxing was added to the group.

Wanxing: ?

Wanxing: What’s this?

— In the other group, we’ll show Juju the most glamorous side of fan life. We’ll all be positive and upbeat, singing a harmonious overture of love.

Wanxing: And this group?

— Is for bitching and moaning, dealing with trollish haters, and using your sinister methods to help Juju climb even higher.

...

’I can’t recall a single instance of me being "sinister."’

Once the pleasantries were over, the users "Big Bro" and "Originally White" forcibly steered the conversation back on track.

— Stop arguing! We didn’t create this group to discuss this. We need to discuss how to make Juju win!

Jiang Jiujiu might not care if she gets first place in the end, but her fans do!

How could they just stand by and watch Jiang Qiuqiu, ’all alone’ with her 730 million fans, go up against a titan with 4.9 billion?

— Even if we lose, we can’t lose too badly! We have to take action, pull more people who don’t use the streaming app over to our side, and make them Juju’s people.

Wanxing: That’s one part. We’ll probably have to add a second: poach some fans from other categories within the streaming app itself.

— Right, right, right.

Everyone had great ideas, but how were they going to implement them?

They had to remember their targets were people, not puppies who would come over with a simple wave of the hand. It required a bit of skill.

When it came to things that required brainpower, many of them fell silent again.

Spreading the word from one to ten, then to a hundred, was too slow. Relying on word-of-mouth was too difficult.

’What should we do, then—’

A lot of people tagged @Wanxing.

Wanxing: Let me draw up a plan.

One can’t succeed without a plan. Before undertaking a great task, you must first create an outline.

Late that night, the already-sleeping Jiang Qiuqiu had no idea that her fans were about to create another ’golden age’ for her.
