Chapter 24

Excitedly, Ming Mei shared this good news with Jiang Qiuqiu.

This was a two-way good news. For Jiang Qiuqiu, her demands were met successfully.

For Ming Mei, she finally had an anchor under her command who could resist; her vast starry sea was about to set sail!

Ming Mei: “The backstage process here will take another two or three days; please wait.”

Jiang Qiuqiu: “I’m not in a hurry, it’s okay; you can take your time.”

Ming Mei: “…”

‘You’re not in a hurry, but I am.’

She was afraid someone would discover her little treasure before things were settled.

Ming Mei: “By the way, I saw the announcement in your livestream room. Are you continuing to cook braised chicken today?”

Jiang Qiuqiu: “Yes, I promised the fans.”

Ming Mei: “You just upgraded to a 2-star anchor yesterday. You probably haven’t had a chance to check the new features in the livestream room.”

New features? Jiang Qiuqiu sent a questioning message.

Ming Mei: “Yes, in the tasting session, there’s a new option to directly gift the top 100 fans in the rankings.”

There’s actually such an option?

Jiang Qiuqiu chuckled: “Doesn’t this imply encouraging fans to spend money?”

Well…

No matter how good this feature sounds, its essence is indeed to encourage user to spend. But Ming Mei felt that whether it was shameful or not was irrelevant.

However, she thought it was important for Jiang Qiuqiu to find it not shameful. Afraid that she would resist this feature, Ming Mei immediately explained: “The top 100 fans’ benefits can be like an auction from other perspective. You’re auctioning off the positions of your top 100 fans, and these positions can enjoy the benefits you continuously provide.

And those fans who recharge for their belief in you are like bosses in an auction, bidding to obtain the items. The only difference is that an auctions item is a position, while you’re selling affection. There’s not much difference.”

Sending this message, Ming Mei worried that Jiang Qiuqiu might find it inappropriate, so she explained further: “Our Federal Star Network has a strict screening mechanism for livestream room tip users; there will never be minors among the tipping audience. Everyone is a responsible adult for their actions.”

Ming Mei: “?”

Ming Mei: “Qiuqiu, are you there?”

Jiang Qiuqiu: “Yes, just received a robot delivery.”

Jiang Qiuqiu stuffed the ingredients into the temperature-controlled box, and the terminal kept beeping. She glanced at Ming Mei’s message, frowned slightly, and asked: “Do I look so honest that I don’t care about money?”

Ming Mei: “…”

What does that mean?

Ming Mei: “You’re very gentle and considerate to your fans.”

Jiang Qiuqiu sighed. After editing the message multiple times, it finally became: “I won’t use words to guide fans to recharge for me, but if they recharge for me, I won’t be unhappy. I’ll be happy that someone likes and supports me.”

Recharging is also a form of liking, and she will be happy to be recharged unless-

Fanatical fans bankrupt themselves for her.

Well, she shouldn’t have that kind of charm, right?

After chatting with Ming Mei, Jiang Qiuqiu took a short nap to replenish her energy, waiting for the tough battle in the evening.

At eight o’clock, with the same recipe and the same taste.

As soon as the livestream started, the foodies flocked in, and numerous barrage messages surrounded the braised chicken. Jiang Qiuqiu used the top 100 fan gifting function for the first time, causing a wave of tipping excitement in the livestream room.

Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t have any special treasures to give to the fans, silently extending the livestream for a long time, making many bowls of braised pork with rice, gently letting more people taste the deliciousness.

The extension of the new round of livestream time boosted Jiang Qiuqiu’s popularity, under the triple influence of gifting, rankings, and taste. Her follower count was about to break a million, and she was promoted to a 3-star anchor for the first time.

Ming Mei stared at the fluctuating follower count, feeling like she was witnessing the rise of a future star.
