Chapter 249: Chapter 249: A Bizarre Turn
Also, what the hell is with this fan circle? Why are there so many old geezers in it? Are they all that trendy, surfing the Star Network?
But generally speaking, people still respect their elders, so they skipped over the old folks and launched a new wave of attacks!
——Is this fan circle that pathetic? Their streamer’s food is nothing compared to ours, so they just send a bunch of old people to fight with us?
——So you send in the senior citizens because you know we’re polite? You guys fight dirty!
[?]
[This kid must be seriously delusional.]
[Old people? When I was fighting in the United Territory War, your dad wasn’t even a fertilized egg.]
[A bunch of silly kids. Who wants to argue with you guys? And who has time to argue with you at this hour?] It was already eight o’clock, and Jiang Qiuqiu’s food showcase had just been restocked.
Even though she stocked a lot, there was no guarantee that some unlucky person wouldn’t miss out.
——What’s wrong with this time of day? If you can’t win the argument, just admit it! Are you too scared to admit you lost? You guys suck.
[…]
Just then, a student who had already snagged their desired food item dropped in and posted a GIF in the thread.
It showed the number of users online at the food showcase and the number of available portions plummeting. [You guys are so full of yourselves. It’s time to eat; who wants to deal with you?]
Meanwhile, Wanxing was in the dedicated fan discussion group, directing the flow of the conversation.
Wanxing: Stop arguing with them. We’ve gotten enough attention.
Wanxing: From now on, ignore them, no matter what they say. Just start posting your own mukbang videos in the threads. Then, forward the message from Sister Ming. The person whose mukbang video gets the most likes from Wang Henli’s fans, and the person who gets the most of them to buy food from the showcase, will get an extra prize: a real-life delivery of whatever food they ate.
…
The tides of the argument suddenly turned.
Before eight o’clock, within Jiang Jiujiu’s fan circle, the fans of Wang Henli and Jiang Jiujiu were still at each other’s throats.
But after eight o’clock, everything changed.
Just a moment ago, the last post had been a vicious flame, something along the lines of, “If you think Wang Henli’s food is better, it just means your cerebellum still needs to finish developing.”
The very next post—
[Alright, alright, we were just busy grabbing food. -Link- Click it and have a look, then you’ll know what *real* quality and flavor is all about!] Suddenly, their tone had become polite and reasonable.
And invitations like this started popping up under every post made by a Wang Henli fan.
[Don’t believe us? Come and see for yourself!]
[There’s no point in just arguing! Why not come watch me eat and see what it’s like for yourself!]
Since a single hater would sometimes get spammed with invitations from multiple Jiang Jiujiu fans, Juju’s fans would even start competing to see who could write the most enticing invitation.
The Wang Henli fans, who had shown up ready for a fight, suddenly found themselves thinking: ???
’What is this?’
’So weird.’
–
Tong Dawei was an ordinary university student.
He was currently studying at Alpha Planet University. He didn’t have any particular hobbies, though he enjoyed watching livestreams, and he just so happened to be a fan of Wang Henli.
That day, he had even joined the fan group to go brigade Jiang Jiujiu’s fan circle.
After arguing all day, he was exhausted. He had been ready to call it quits and was talking with the others in the group chat about packing it in when the people from that so-called “Juju” circle suddenly changed their tune.
’What the hell is with their tone? All that “come to my post, come to my post” nonsense, like they’re trying to sell a tourist attraction.’
He complained in the fan discussion group.
——Do these people even take us seriously?
——Do they think we’re just toys they can summon and dismiss at will?
He had just sent the two messages when someone else in the group tagged him with an @.
He recognized the user ID; it was a friend from his university. Just as he was about to ask why, he saw his friend post a video.
——Tong Dawei: ???
