Chapter 870 - 889: Seeing a Crack, the Imperial Family and Nobles Squeeze In Like Crazy

Why do it this way?

Because right below the notice, incredibly "authentic" comments from bystanders began to appear.

[Is Admiral the highest rank in the interstellar now? He doesn’t even need to submit an application to mobilize Warships during peacetime? And four Warships at that?!]

[No way, no way. Doesn’t the Senate have the right to know about all government affairs in the Federation? This... they still have to go ask the Admiral for the reason?]

[What do you mean by that? He expanded our territories and defended our planets. Is it your place to question him?!?]

[What? Just because he expanded our territories means he can ignore the law?]

[What’s the big deal? Does he need to file a report for every little thing just to mobilize his own troops?]

[Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’d be perfectly fine even if he launched an attack on the Federation Star this very second!]

The two factions began arguing in the trending section. The people cursing back and forth seemed divided into opposing sides, but their rhetoric all ultimately conveyed the same underlying message in different forms.

The opposition argued, "Does rendering outstanding service mean he can just do whatever he wants?"

The supporters fired back, "Exactly! Rendering outstanding service means he can do whatever he wants! He is doing whatever he wants!"

Humans were creatures easily swayed by influence. With just a passing glance, those prone to overthinking would naturally start assuming exactly what the higher-ups wanted them to think.

In an instant, political debates began to sprout among the thousands of curious onlookers enjoying the drama.

Fueled by those with ulterior motives, the volume of the discussions grew louder and louder. Just as the topic was about to hit the top trending spot, Qiuqiu started a livestream. As the most popular figure on the trending lists right now, her sudden appearance drew away more than half of the curious onlookers.

Unexpectedly, the heat around Mo Si’s topic was cut in half.

When the Ju people heard the news, they naturally cheered and rallied in support, declaring, "Qiuqiu actually started a livestream!"

Not only did the Ju people flood in, but the middle-aged viewers who had previously criticized her on the Star Network—only to be won over by the old generals—also rushed over. The livestream room was instantly packed to the brim.

It was an outdoor livestream.

Due to the urgency of the situation, she didn’t have any advanced equipment. She only had the camera robot Little President Qian had left behind after filming the promotional video for the canned food homepage, along with a rather dated sensor.

Fortunately, the picture quality was still clear.

Qiuqiu was dressed simply. She wore a light blue cardigan over a pair of light-colored jeans. Since she was going to cook, her long hair was tied up into a small bun and secured with a hairnet.

For convenience, she had swept all her bangs up, revealing a smooth, fair forehead. Given how busy she had been lately, and despite getting good rest every day, faint dark circles had inevitably appeared under her eyes.

However, her eyes remained as bright as ever. They were like a fresh rainbow after a spring rain, or the vast summer sky—clear, pure, and full of vitality.

"Hello, everyone, I’m doing well. Right now, I’m on Q3. I’m not at the practical hospital of the Joint Practical School. I’m currently at the entrance of the New Star Delicious Factory. Um, I’m running a free medical clinic."

Countless messages of concern flooded the screen. As Qiuqiu scanned through them, she noticed a sparkling, glowing text box glide past.

Mei Lin?

A trace of confusion flashed through Qiuqiu’s mind. She wondered, "Mei Lin has me added as a friend. If she wanted to ask how I’m doing, why wouldn’t she just message my terminal instead of asking in the livestream?"

[Why is Juju livestreaming now?]

[What exactly has been happening lately? The Expeditionary Army’s Imperial Blade landed on Q3. Does Juju know what happened?]

"I know a little bit.

"Because some things are still under investigation, I’m not entirely clear on all the details yet. I can only tell you what I know so far."

Qiuqiu gave a brief summary of the entire incident on Q3. She mentioned that the recent direction of public opinion was heavily influenced by the sharp observations of eagle-eyed netizens.

As for why she hadn’t streamed earlier, she explained, "Because my livestreams were restricted. Something was blocking me from broadcasting the current situation on Q3 to the public."

Her words were quite shocking to hear.
