Chapter 86: Grandpas Being Used as Tools

“They all think I’m a serious person who definitely wouldn’t use the Star Network or play on forums… They think I’m dull and uninteresting.”

Actually, being over a hundred years old, playing on the Star Network isn’t a big deal. Grandpas also have their own social circles.

And grandmas too! They have their own private fashion circles!

The more the conversation went on, the more it deviated from the original topic that got everyone excited.

Then, an unknown passerby posted—

[I really feel sorry for everyone, being used as tools.]

[This following thing isn’t as simple as you think.]

Oh, then everyone remembered, there was still the matter of following.

The conversation came back to that, and someone asked why it wasn’t simple anymore.

The person who spoke up was a lonely old man. His son and daughter-in-law died in a mining disaster, leaving behind a grandson.

For all these years, he had worked hard to raise his grandson.

Today, his grandson, who was studying at the Federal University, suddenly shared a streamer with him.

The old man didn’t know how to use this, but seeing it was sent by his grandson, he immediately followed the tutorial and figured it out.

His grandson told him that this was a streamer he found on the Star Network who made delicious food, and he hoped his grandpa could taste the deliciousness with him.

After learning about Jiang Qiuqiu’s traffic, popularity, level of hotness, and daily income, the old man was amazed.

New methods of the new era are indeed powerful.

Later, when chatting with his grandson, he casually mentioned the following event in Jiang Qiuqiu’s circle.

To get elderly grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, grandfathers, and grandmothers who don’t usually use the Star Network to follow, eliminate potential enemies, and guarantee a taste of delicious food.

He thought it was just a small joke, but when he looked at his own circle of old friends, he found that this matter had already become popular.

He straightforwardly mentioned this incident, without exaggeration, in plain and simple language. He just added at the end—

[My grandson says the dishes made by this streamer are indeed delicious, and he wants to share and eat with me.]

A bit of boasting.

This wave was boasting, but on the other side, the grandpas who had been ‘used as tools’ weren’t happy.

What! Other people’s grandchildren know to share delicious food with their grandpas, but their own children sneakily eat alone!

Absolutely outrageous!

Mr. Yang was also very displeased.

Displeased enough to join his old comrades circle.

[Who are these little brats treating their granddads like this?]

[I even asked what was going on, but they didn’t say a word!]

[They’ve got some nerve, coming here to deceive me!]

A group of grandpas exploded.

But beating them up over this wasn’t possible. They live in a rule of law society, in this era, beating children is outdated.

Without hitting them, they still needed to be taught a lesson.

Everyone put their heads together and finally decided—

To use a trick to expose them.

Humph! Let’s see who’s really whose tool!

The fermentation of the Star Network and circles was very rapid.

When Jiang Qiuqiu and Ming Mei looked at the circle data, they saw a group of people who had borrowed terminals to follow and check in.

The two of them were communicating, “They always come up with ideas I wouldn’t think of.”

“It’s easy for young people to brainstorm together. This idea has gained a lot of popularity. Maybe it could start a trend in the circle.” Ming Mei was quite optimistic about this post.

Jiang Qiuqiu nodded and suddenly asked, “Will these accounts affect the activity in the livestream room?”

“No, many of the followers don’t actually watch. Your follower-to-viewer ratio is very high. Even if it drops by half, it’s still very high.”

All minor issues.
