These bizarre bullet comments only appeared for a moment.
Chen Yu was tired. He had stopped imitating characters from shows and movies and entered a more capricious phase, doing nothing but idly chatting with his audience.
All he did was chat and pull the camera bot a little closer to his face.
Just as things on his end were calm and peaceful, a huge wave of peculiar bullet comments suddenly flooded the shared comment stream.
This line was a title Jiang Qiuqiu had once used but later scrapped to sound more professional.
[SHOCKING! Why are men and women, young and old, all crying tears of joy? Because they ate... ###]
An astonishing number of these messages flashed before the eyes of his audience.
Everyoneâs simple minds could only process one thing: ???
Before anyone could react, this batch of comments was quickly buried by the next wave, which readâ
[Mom asked why I was crying while watching the stream. Itâs because I ate thisâ]
[Why is a college girl hiding under her covers late at night instead of sleeping? Becauseâ]
[A 130-year-old man suddenly learns to use the Star Network, spends a fortune on a terminal, and secretly watches a beautiful woman every day. Why? Turns out, he just wants to eat thisâ]
[A peaceful family dinner suddenly erupts into a brawl! The culprit? Thisâ]
[A loving couple suddenly starts trading insults, all because of a small piece of tofu?!]
Wave after wave of clickbait headlines scrolled past, making Chen Yuâs fans feel like they had discovered a whole new world in the comments. Someone couldnât help but ask: [What is all this?]
By now, the aroma of the fried food had mostly dissipated.
Only a faint, crisp fragrance lingered in the air.
Someone had started a conversation! Wanxingâs goal was achieved!
Soon, these die-hard fans began responding to the person who had asked the question.
[Hey, friend! Weâre talking about the food weâre eating!]
[Weâve got some super delicious fried food! Taking a bite of this steaming-hot stuff on a cold winter day will warm your heart right up!]
[Step right up, donât miss out! Come on over to our stream and take a look, friends! Did you smell that aroma just now? Weâve got fried tempura and all the Ancient Earth cuisine you can eatâ]
After that, everyone began spamming the same message in the comments: [Step right up, friends, donât miss out! Enjoy all the Ancient Earth cuisine you can eatâ]
You had to admit, the words "Ancient Earth" were like a brand nameâthey had a certain appeal.
Right away, some people said they would go check it out, as did others who had been drawn in by the eye-catching headlines.
Chen Yuâs stream lost another few hundred million viewers.
His viewer count was plummeting like a sled down a hill, yet the commotion in the comments was massive. He quickly realized that the fans of his neighborâJiang Jiujiu from the Food sectionâwere... really interesting.
Genuinely interesting. So much so that he couldnât help but crack a smile.
"Oh? Letâs see... are they trying to poach my fans in my own stream?"
His voice was gentle, not deep, like the clear, tinkling water of a mountain stream. Immediately, his die-hard fans declared in the comments that they would never leave his stream, not even for a second.
[I was born in my Yuâs pond! Iâll die in my Yuâs pond! Iâm not leaving even if it kills me!]
[+1]
[Donât be scared, Yu! Weâre here to protect our precious idol!]
When it came to spamming the screen to declare their loyalty, the fans who were there for his looks had plenty of fighting spirit.
âThis isnât good. The tide is turning against us.â
Wanxing had organized a fun mobilization campaign in the fan group, and naturally, some of them had gone to Chen Yuâs stream. Seeing the cheerful atmosphere start to fade, the leader of the squad stationed in Chen Yuâs stream looked at the streamer, and a sudden idea sparked in her mindâ
She had her team post a message in the comments.
[To the extraordinarily handsome and incomparably charming Streamer Chen Yu: we donât just want to poach your fans, we want to poach you, tooâ]
It was just a cheeky line. As expected, the streamer would probably refuse, at which point the squad leaderâs next line would be to play the pity card: [We just want more people to taste the food our streamer makes. She works so hard cooking for us... WAHHH.]
âAs long as they could lure their âmarkâ into Jujuâs stream before âgoing in for the kill,â everything would be fine.â
But to everyoneâs surprise, after seeing the message, the streamerâs slightly red-tinged eyes, which shimmered like liquid light, suddenly brightened with interest.
â"Invite me?"
â"Sure."
The entire audience was stunned.
