I Married a Commander and Became a Galaxy Star

Chapter 120: Chapter 107: I Hope for an Equal Relationship with My Fans

Shu Yao continued, "Lately, I’ve come to realize that streamers are put on too high a pedestal, becoming unattainable figures in the eyes of many fans. When a streamer is elevated like that, their relationship with the fans below becomes hierarchical. This one-sided dynamic throws everything out of balance."

"I don’t want that. I want my fans and I to be equals, with a relationship built on mutual respect. If I do something wrong, they should be able to point it out. And if a fan does something wrong, I can guide them like a friend. Mrs. Bao needs to place herself in the proper position."

"That’s why I can’t be the group owner."

Ke Dancheng was stunned.

Shu Chao Yu listened and gave a knowing smile.

Jiang Fei fell into deep thought, for once not interrupting.

Snapping back to his senses, a deeply moved Ke Dancheng looked down and adjusted his glasses, hiding the intense emotions in his eyes.

’He knew his chance had come.’

"I think I understand. Mrs. Bao wants the fans to be managed by fans."

Shu Yao nodded. "You could say that."

Ke Dancheng said, "In that case, you’ll need a truly representative fan to get this group off the ground! I..."

"Me, me, me!" Jiang Fei nominated himself. "I have a decent amount of influence in the Star Network’s streaming fan community. I can set up Mrs. Bao’s fan group right now!"

Ke Dancheng’s expression fell.

’He definitely couldn’t compete with Brother Fei...’

Shu Chao Yu pushed Jiang Fei aside. "You, get out of the way! As if someone as flighty as you could manage a fan group!"

’Jiang Fei can’t even manage himself!’

Shu Yao also spoke up. "Any fan with significant resources or influence can’t be the group owner. It would create the suspicion that they’re buying their way in. A group owner like that might have authority at first, but it will cause problems down the line."

"I..." Ke Dancheng mustered his courage. "I think I can do it! I was the very first fan to follow Mrs. Bao! I’m just an ordinary person, so maybe no one will listen to me at first, but I believe that if I do a good job, things will get better and better!"

Seeing his enthusiasm, Shu Yao nodded. "Then why don’t you give it a try?"

Ke Dancheng looked completely surprised.

’He thought the process would be much more difficult.’

Seeing the confusion on his face, Shu Yao explained, "You have a lot of room to grow. That’s exactly what I need. Among Mrs. Bao’s fans, we need an inspirational role model. This will also help me build a positive image."

Ke Dancheng gave a dazed smile. ’It really feels like a dream!’

Shu Yao said, "Then go ahead and create the group."

Ke Dancheng quickly calmed himself down and asked her for one thing.

"I need a Mrs. Bao fan badge certification."

"Is that something I need to set up?"

Ke Dancheng taught her how to configure it and, just as he’d hoped, received the very first fan badge from Mrs. Bao.

After Shu Yao set it up, the fan badge’s default note was [This Baby]. The note could be modified.

Ke Dancheng insisted on changing it to [This Baby is Mrs. Bao’s First Fan].

He could choose to hide the badge, or he could let his account show off the shiny new badge everywhere he went.

Badges like this were a paid feature for many other streamers.

Jiang Fei also started clamoring for a badge, even saying he was willing to pay for it.

After realizing the importance of the badge, Shu Yao promised to get him one for free once the fan group was more established.

Ke Dancheng went to the food forum and made a post.

With the power of the badge, he was no longer the invisible nobody who was always ignored.

His post almost never sank.

Getting so much attention for the first time, an emotion swelled up inside him, and he felt the urge to go out and run a frantic five kilometers!

"AHHHH, why do you have a Mrs. Bao fan badge!? I want one so badly!!"

Ke Dancheng: "Because this baby is Mrs. Bao’s first fan!"

Besieged by everyone, he recounted the story of how he started following Mrs. Bao.

This immediately drew a chorus of envious replies.

"You’re so lucky!"

"You even got to eat food Mrs. Bao cooked herself!!"

Ke Dancheng then naturally brought up the idea of creating a fan group in the thread, and immediately received a wave of support.

Because he had eaten food Mrs. Bao cooked herself, had her fan badge, and even had a connection to get more badges, he logically became the most suitable candidate for group owner.

Ke Dancheng created a group and edited the group ID into his post.

The large group, with a capacity of five thousand, was instantly full!

Those who were too slow to click didn’t manage to get a spot.

Ke Dancheng created a second and third group.

They also filled up in an instant!

He didn’t let this sudden success go to his head. After the third group was full, he left a message in the thread:

"I’m a student with limited energy, so for now I’m just making three groups. Any Bao fans who couldn’t get in, please don’t be sad or discouraged. There will be more opportunities in the future."

After that, he posted the group rules in all three groups, asking fans who had joined multiple groups to choose just one to stay in.

This series of moves from Ke Dancheng successfully recaptured the Bao fans’ attention.

The Bao fans retreated from the battlefield, while the Xiang fans were still cursing and swearing.

Ke Dancheng also edited the group rules into his original post.

The first rule was that Mrs. Bao does not encourage students to donate.

He added an explanation that Mrs. Bao had previously refunded all donations from students, even paying the platform’s cut out of her own pocket. To avoid causing Mrs. Bao another loss, he asked students to please be considerate~

The second rule was also very important: Bao fans were asked to be mindful of their words and actions.

"Mrs. Bao became a legend with a single dish; her debut was her peak. But with fame comes controversy. We will not start trouble, but we will absolutely not tolerate those who attack Mrs. Bao! To avoid causing trouble for her, I ask all Bao fans not to attack other streamers on any occasion from now on."

Ke Dancheng also said in the post: "If all Bao fans follow the rules, I will try to get some perks from Mrs. Bao from time to time."

That was a very enticing promise.

Someone asked, "Will the perks include designated taste-testing spots?"

Ke Dancheng replied, "You can dream bigger. Maybe you’ll get to eat food Mrs. Bao cooked herself! And I mean real food, by the way!"

"Amazing! I’ve decided, I’ll be a Mrs. Bao fan for life!"

Seeing that the atmosphere on the forums had calmed down and the groups were harmonious, Ke Dancheng logged off, satisfied. He looked up and found a little tyke across from him, staring at him intently.

’This must be Mrs. Bao’s son!’

"Hello," Ke Dancheng said awkwardly, his eyes smiling from behind his glasses.

’If only his aunt could also have such a healthy, adorable baby!’

"Hello!" Xiao Juzi’s voice was young and bright. "You’re my mom’s classmate, so does that mean you’ll see each other at school a lot?"

Ke Dancheng nodded, a little flustered.

In his excitement, Xiao Juzi accidentally let his fluffy ears and tail pop out.

Ke Dancheng stared at him in astonishment. "Your Beastman lineage is..."

Xiao Juzi bounced away happily, ignoring whatever he was saying.

’This is great! Once I’m classmates with Little Taotao, we’ll be able to see each other all the time!’

’Suddenly, I’m really looking forward to school!’
