Chapter 438 - 457: I Feel Like the Identity of the Streamer Surnamed Jiang Is Still Not Formidable Enough

In that case, ninety-nine percent of the entire interstellar population must be dirt poor.

Then there were those who called themselves "plain and unremarkable" but turned out to be the CEOs of well-known companies.

Others claimed they were "unfit for important tasks," only to be revealed as people holding major responsibilities.

As everyone scrolled through the uniform flood of posts, they suddenly realized they no longer knew the meaning of "low-end," "poor," or "plain and unremarkable."

—Look how stupid I am. *This* is "plain and unremarkable?"

—I always thought I was pretty well-off. Turns out, I’m so poor I can’t compare to anyone.

—...Low-end fans??? Who called them low-end fans?

—I feel like I’m the most pathetic person in the world, WAHHHHHH.

This was clearly just textbook humblebragging!

Because the style was so interesting and ripe for commentary, the topic’s ranking skyrocketed, quickly surpassing the popularity of all of Jiang Qiuqiu’s previous trending topics.

That same morning, Jiang Qiuqiu had another meeting with the members of her operations studio.

Her channel’s followers were still increasing at an incredible rate, having jumped from five billion to 7.7 billion. Although there was still a gap between her numbers and Xiong Xin’s, and a sudden surge of followers could be considered inflated, at this rate, Jiang Qiuqiu might actually stand a chance, even in a head-to-head clash.

"I propose we do another warm-up event!" Amid the noisy discussion, Wanxing raised her hand again.

Everyone, including Jiang Qiuqiu, looked at her.

Qiuqiu also wanted to know what new idea Xiao Wan had come up with.

"We’re already dominating several of the trending topics. We don’t need to issue another statement just to maintain the hype."

"From what I know, not that many fans actually participated in the #low-end tag on the trending list—"

That’s because the tag was started by a younger fan, and the posting format was also, um...

Wanxing paused, then used a more fitting description: "Self-deprecating irony."

That kind of activity mostly attracts younger people or more open-minded, middle-aged fans.

However, you see fewer of the older grandpas and grandmas getting involved in something like that.

"I’ve been observing, and I’ve noticed that everyone is extremely curious about just who makes up Juju’s fanbase. We can totally use this as a chance to put them on display."

A showcase. Easy to say, but hard to do.

You couldn’t just make a pie chart to tally everyone’s education and occupation. That would be too stupid.

"No, I don’t think Xiao Wan is talking about running statistics."

Jiang Qiuqiu was the one in the room who best understood where Wanxing was coming from. She smiled and asked, "You’re thinking of a different format, aren’t you?"

"Exactly!"

’We can totally do it in a more respectable way.’

Wanxing gave a sly smile and presented her proposal.

It was the last day of the annual PK.

It was also the most chaotic day of the entire competition. The two remaining contestants took turns in the spotlight, one-upping each other’s showcases.

It gave everyone a full view of the joys of fans with "cash power" and the distant lives of the wealthy.

There were also new uses for "plain and unremarkable" and "poor plus low-class."

All of it was truly a dazzling spectacle.

However, as the chaotic battle intensified and evening approached, most people still felt that Xiong Xin had a slight edge.

First off, piloting a Mecha was inherently cool.

Second, the people cheering him on were of a slightly higher status.

—What’s there to argue about? Sure, that streamer named Jiang has some impressive fans, but if you compare them side-by-side, Xiong Xin is still stronger. That’s undeniable.

—If you don’t believe it, just look at the pictures. Can you even compare those ranks?
