At this moment, even with the massive water army lying in wait in Jiang Qiuqiuās stream, they couldnāt get a word in edgewise.
Some fans werenāt good with words and were rather quiet. They didnāt have the courage to charge into battle for the person they admired. They stayed silently in the corners, showing their support for Juju just by being there.
But while they might not usually speak up, now they absolutely had to! Was it worth it?
Everyone who had managed to buy one knew the answer in their hearts.
[Thereās nothing in the universe more worth it than this!!!]
[My only regret is that Juju limited it to one per person. Otherwise, I wouldāve bought a hundred myself!!!]
Seeing the public opinion in the stream shift from negative to positive, the studio grew anxious.
āāWeāre losing control. Iām trying to stir things up, but no oneās paying attention. What do I do?
āāThis streamer actually has some substance... Besides, this isnāt even a major scandal, is it?
āāDonāt get sidetracked! Who told you to focus on the 5 Star Coin thing? We need to focus on the 1 million Star Coin one!!!
He typed three exclamation points. Just as the group was preparing to stir up another wave of controversy, a golden Holy Light message suddenly scrolled across the screen.
"A million for a moment of happiness. Iām happy to pay it."
It was indeed an extravagant statement.
Jiang Qiuqiu saw she had arrived and said teasingly, "Look, the person at the center of this whole topic, Million Sister, has appeared."
Hearing this, Mei Lin slammed her hand on the table in anger. "What does this commoner mean? I came here specifically to help her, and she calls me by such an awful nickname?!"
Jiang Jiang suppressed a laugh and joined in her righteous indignation. "Exactly! If weād known, you shouldnāt have come, milady!"
"...Forget it."
Mei Lin frowned. "If I hadnāt come, she probably would have been relentlessly attacked by these obnoxious commoners. Sheās just a young girl, after all."
"How strange. Didnāt I just spend a little pocket money on a dish? Why are so many people reacting like this? Next time, I wonāt be so high-profile. Iāll come in secret. I hate these comments."
"Of course, Miss."
With the person in question speaking for herself and saying she didnāt mind, the water armyās frantic attacks now had no basis.
But they had been paid, so they couldnāt stop. The water army continued its assault on Jiang Qiuqiu.
However, their comments no longer resonated with anyone. Slander without popular support is like a plate of loose sand, scattering without even a gust of wind.
And just like that, the water army, now fighting a lonely battle in the comments, was completely suppressed by the active fans from the community, led by Wanxing.
The monstrous wave that had been about to surge was inexplicably quelled by Jiang Qiuqiuās composure.
Because she was open and honest, she was fearless.
Just as bewildered by this turn of events were the middle-aged and younger members of the Federationās foodie circle who had followed the mob here.
They had also arrived, filled with righteous indignation. But as outsiders, they were also reasonable people. Now that the matter had been clarified, they realized that it seemed... this streamer hadnāt actually done anything wrong.
Since she hadnāt done anything wrong, what were they even here for?
To curse at her? They couldnāt bring themselves to randomly lecture a young girl.
To flame her?
They were complete strangers; they just couldnāt bring themselves to do it.
Just as this group was wondering whether they should leave, Jiang Qiuqiu spoke up again.
"This is the first time Iāve spent so long during a stream addressing these questions, and Iāve taken up everyoneās time. This will also be the last time I respond to these strange, non-fan questions in my stream."
"And finallyā" Her voice suddenly rose, shedding the serious tone sheād used for her explanation, now laced with a smile and a hint of teasing. "To the members of the foodie circle who inexplicably followed a water army into my stream, are you feeling a bit lost right now? Wondering if you should leave since thereās nothing to do? Donāt go! Stay and try todayās āmillion-dollarā crispy fried pork."
