The sweetest in the entertainment industry

"So, the question is, how can we accurately find real fans who are willing to play games with us without revealing our identities?"

Lu Nanting is always like this; a whimsical idea pops into his head from time to time.

Thinking it wasn't a major issue of principle, Gu Lanxi readily agreed and opened the game. It wasn't until they were forming a team that she considered the problem.

After his debut, Lu Nanting quickly became a top star, a popular artist with both talent and popularity. He follows the rules of popular idols and is very averse to private contact, so he does not have his fans' contact information.

Even though Gu Lanxi joined the Little Dragonfly Rich Group for reasons such as supporting Lu Nanting and following offline events, she used a secondary account.

Moreover, since their secret marriage was exposed and her alternate account was also exposed, she left the group and deleted the account, so there's nothing she can do now.

To work in this line of work, you have to maintain a positive image; you even have to hide it from people when you pick your nose or fart.

Regardless of which platform the verified account is used on, if you haven't received any work related to the game, it's suicidal to loudly solicit fans to play the game with you.

In the eyes of most parents, playing games is a decadent and irresponsible behavior.

Even if they had plenty of fun when they were young.

“Even if we don’t want to see them, fans always pop up from all sorts of unexpected places. For the first time, we found that it’s quite difficult when we want to actively find them.”

Hearing her say that, Lu Nanting was speechless.

"Look where we are right now. Why don't you go ask Brother Wang and his family next door if they are our fans? Maybe we can make do."

Gu Lanxi slapped him in an annoyance, then turned down the brightness of the camping light in the corner.

"They have a child with them. Guoguo is probably fast asleep by now. Keep your voice down."

Lu Nanting switched out of the game, logged into QQ, and spoke with exceptional confidence:

"Wait, I'll go get someone!"

"What should I call it?"

Gu Lanxi craned her neck to get closer and saw that he had opened a group chat. Before she could even see it clearly, she saw his expression change instantly, his face filled with disbelief as he looked at his phone!

"what happened?"

"I got kicked."

"what happened?"

"That doesn't make sense! I got 98 points in the assessment! I've seen people in the group making plans to play together before, so why can't I? I was kicked as soon as I posted a team link, is that a mistake?"

Fortunately, when he joined the group before, he added the administrator in charge of verification. Lu Nanting quickly went to chat with him privately to ask what was going on.

The administrator was very helpful; seeing that he did indeed look confused, he quickly replied to the message:
[The group announcement repeatedly emphasized that you are not allowed to drag others down with you, but you haven't taken it to heart at all! We are now only allowed to arrange study sessions, not gaming sessions.]

Lu Nanting was shocked: [When did this happen? I've been busy lately, I didn't know!!]

This immediately stirred up a hornet's nest, and the administrator was furious: "How long has it been since you've been online? You haven't done any data work either? We don't require you to buy magazines or endorsements, after all, many of our fans are students, and we're doing what we can afford. But you won't even do free data work, something so simple? Are you even a real fan? Ever since last year when Little Dragonfly made that three-year challenge, with everyone claiming they'd surpass us, we changed the group rules, formed various study groups, and started mutual supervision to prevent anyone from slacking off. And you didn't even know?"

The three-year agreement was made more than half a year ago.

Lu Nanting couldn't help but take out a tissue and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Gu Lanxi used to refuse endorsements. To join the group, all he had to do was complete a questionnaire related to her. In order to get in, he spent three whole days scrolling through Gu Lanxi's content.

Because there are many things that fans know differently from what he knows.

I finally managed to join a group, I can't let myself get kicked out for no reason.

【Um, Sister Chanchan, I just finished my college entrance exams, and my family won't let me use my phone, so I haven't been online for a long time. I'm sorry... I love studying, and if I hadn't had no homework this summer, I wouldn't be playing games. Please add me back! I won't do it again.】

After saying a lot of nice things and telling a little lie, Lu Nanting's alternate account was finally taken back by the administrator.

The administrator posted in the group, "This kid just finished the college entrance exam. Is he focused on his studies? All you excellent fellow students, please speak to him and give him some advice on how to plan his university life so he can graduate as a better version of himself." Then a bunch of people chimed in with their own experiences. Some graduates shared their biggest regrets from their university days, some current university students shared tips for getting certified, some graduate students shared their paper submission techniques, and some even offered help revising papers…

Gu Lanxi was dumbfounded!
What kind of group is this?

The academically challenged guy took out another tissue, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued typing, struggling to pretend to be a high school graduate.

Gu Lanxi didn't get an answer, but she didn't need one anymore, because she had already seen the group name—【Little Yuanbao's Home 18】.

Xiao Yuanbao knows her too well. Afraid of being recognized, she didn't join her own fan group, but only joined Xiao Qingting's rich group. When she saw the style of the group, she was shocked!
"Won't their actions cause them to lose fans?"

Lu Nanting logged into her Weibo side account, found Gu Lanxi's super topic, completed the data analysis, and posted it in the group asking for reposts, likes, and comments. She received unanimous praise from fellow fans, finally managing to retain her status as a group member, and only then did she have time to reply to her.

"Probably not. I see people learning all sorts of things in the group, and it's not mandatory to learn any specific knowledge. I've seen baking groups, pottery groups, and the like. People are willing to stick to anything that can make them better."

"Are fans like this now?"

Gu Lanxi lost all interest in playing games and logged into her alternate account to search for related information online.

Sure enough, some of the little dragonflies and little gold ingots have been fighting since last year, just to prove that their side is better.

They even held an anonymous pottery competition where each participant submitted a photo of their work to the event organizer, who then issued a numbered copy, allowing fans from both sides to vote on the best-looking piece.

Because it's a niche market, Lu Nanting is too busy, and Gu Lanxi doesn't go online much, they only saw it now.

"I always use this plate to eat fruit, so that's how I got it!"

Gu Lanxi looked at the photo with great surprise!

Unexpectedly, the fan who won first place gave her the plate!

She often received handmade gifts from fans, so she didn't think much of it. Little did she know there was such a story behind it!
While fans were digging up old stories about the two of them, they were also quite interested in the interesting things that happened to the fans.

When Lu Nanting heard her mention it, he became interested and started searching.

It doesn't make sense that if Little Yuanbao sent something to Gu Lanxi, Little Dragonfly wouldn't send something to him.

The way the fans on both sides fight is often different from that of other fan groups.

Aside from the toxic solo stans, their fans are actually in a healthy competition, and there are quite a few similar small events, with each side winning and losing.

The young couple, under the camping lamp, searched for stars under the vast sky, then compared their findings with each other's, both feeling very happy.

"Speaking of which, university acceptance letters will start being mailed out in the next few days, right? I promised to open them for my fans, so I have to take this seriously."

"Okay, what do you plan to do?"

"I'm planning to hold a fan meeting. Anyone who wants to come, I'll cover their travel expenses so I don't have to fly all over the country."

"They should remember that for the rest of their lives."

"Absolutely. I want my fans to remember that studying hard can not only change your life, but also potentially lead to seeing me for free."

Gu Lanxi pondered the details of the event, and when she got excited, she immediately sat up, intending to call Sister Mei.

Lu Nanting quickly grabbed her: "How about we do it together? Otherwise, they'll definitely cause me a huge uproar."

"Won't there be a lot of people? And many of them have just graduated from high school and have never been to other places before. Isn't that unsafe?"

Gu Lanxi began to ponder this problem.

"Don't rush, let's call Sister Mei and Brother Yuan together tomorrow for a meeting to discuss it."

Because of this unexpected event, the couple tossed and turned all night, finally falling asleep in the middle of the night when they were too tired to stay awake any longer. (End of Chapter)
