Chapter 473: Chapter 492: Jiang Jiujiu’s Highlight Moment
In the first month of 5355, the Federation Live Broadcast Company invited a renowned general for a live broadcast, using emerging technology to share the heroic spirit of the older generation with a wider audience.
In late January, a veteran editor-in-chief at the Federation Live Broadcast Company retired, and a newcomer took up the mantle to carry on the work.
In early February, the number of concurrent viewers in the Mecha section surpassed 15 billion for the first time, setting a new record for peak viewership at the Federation Live Broadcast Company.
In late February, the young Mecha streamer Xiong Xin’s follower count surpassed eight billion. At just 34 years old, he became the male streamer with the most followers in the entire company.
In early March, a dark horse emerged in the Beauty section. That same month, the Federation Live Broadcast Company established a branch on the distant Si Ming Star, achieving its goal of having a presence on every planet, excluding only the most remote worlds and mining districts.
In April, first-quarter earnings were announced. Our company proposed donating thirty percent of our total revenue to the Expeditionary Army, with the wish that peace would soon come to the Empire’s borders.
May…
The information scrolled across the screen, a chronicle of the Federation Live Broadcast Company’s history. Anyone whose name appeared there was no ordinary person.
[I’m suddenly realizing what a huge company this is.]
[Besides entertainment, the Federation Live Broadcast Company has actually done a lot of good.]
As time passed, the audience soon noticed that from June onward, one person began to dominate the screen.
“In July, a young female streamer, Jiang Jiujiu, burst onto the scene in the Food section. She was the fastest streamer in the entire Federation to be upgraded to a God-tier contract.”
“In late July, our company partnered with XX Company…”
“In December, our company hosted its year-end competition. The stars were out in full force, but people’s eyes are always drawn to the most brilliant ones.”
As the host finished speaking, a series of rankings suddenly appeared on the screen.
They were as follows—
The streamer with the highest follower growth in the past year.
The streamer with the greatest increase in positive ratings in the past year.
The fastest-promoted streamer of the past year.𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
And the streamer with the fastest-growing income in the past year.
In previous years, these bar graphs were all topped by different avatars. But this year, every single one of them was capped by the same avatar, the same ID.
The camera lingered on the center of the screen. This astonishing sight silenced the audience for a moment. ’Shocking, isn’t it?’ the host thought. ’The first time I saw this video, I was left speechless, too.’
“Without a doubt, the brightest star of the year is the streamer from the Food section, Jiang Jiujiu.”
[Who’s that?]
[!]
[It’s a shout-out for our girl!]
[Our Juju really is the best!!!]
[The annual meeting is such a huge deal! She really is the brightest star!]
[Juju, fly high, the Ju people will always have your back! With your vote and mine, Juju has truly taken center stage!]
The host lingered on the shot of Jiang Jiujiu the longest. After seeing such a dazzling and shocking star, the ones that followed, however impressive, seemed to be missing something.
About fifteen minutes later, the retrospective of the Federation Live Broadcast Company’s year concluded, and thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
“Now that we’ve looked back on 5355, we’re back here at the annual meeting. If this isn’t your first time here, you should be well aware that the first item on our agenda is the awards presentation—”
As he finished speaking, ten blurry silhouettes popped up on the enormous screen.
The host then continued with the program.
“Taking the tenth spot this year is someone from the Game Streaming section…”
After announcing the name, the camera quickly cut to the audience below. That streamer stood up and walked onto the stage.
After a routine interview, the tenth-place winner stood at the center of the stage as a photo was taken with a sharp CLICK. In an instant, the ten blurry silhouettes on the screen became nine. The tenth spot was replaced with a photo of the streamer who had just been on stage, holding their trophy.
