Six hours after MeowMeow TV issued its apology statement, Ji Xingchen received a system notification that his admin had changed.
The new admin taking over from the previous Admin 33 was now Admin 1.
MeowMeow TV Admin 1: Hello, Star, your admin 33 has resigned due to irregularities in operations. From today, I will be fully responsible for your live broadcasting affairs. Feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have any problems.
Unlike the cutesy style of Admin 33, Admin 1 was concise and mature in speech.
MeowMeow TV Admin 1: Due to the impact caused by the platform’s management negligence, the management has decided on the following remedial measures after discussion. Take a look and see if there is anything else you need to add.
MeowMeow TV Admin 1:
1. Restore normal popularity in the live broadcast room and reinstate participation in the Honor Points Competition.
2. The Honor of king zone on the homepage will be recommended for a week during prime broadcasting hours.
3. During the Honor Points Competition, the homepage will display randomly selected recommended spots for two days each week.
4. Due to the breach of contract by Mr. Ji, the platform will claim a penalty of 100,000 yuan on your behalf, to be paid within two months.
5. All revenue generated in room 55555788 on this platform this month will not be subject to commission, and streamers can withdraw all earnings.
Ji Xingchen had already seen these three compensation items in the apology statement issued by MeowMeow TV’s official account earlier.
For him, as long as MeowMeow TV could step in to handle the matter, it would already be the best outcome.
But now, not only was the platform not deducting his revenue for the month, but it also agreed to help him claim a 100,000 yuan penalty from Ji Lintian…
Ji Xingchen could hardly believe it…
Was MeowMeow TV doing charity or what?!
After quickly thanking the new administrator, Ji Xingchen added them on WeChat. Then he noticed that the streamer group he had been added to by Admin 33 before was unusually lively tonight.
Streamer 1: Hey, my admin changed. Did yours change?
Streamer 2: Yeah, changed. Unlucky me, got Admin 44.
Streamer 3: Bro, you’re so unlucky. I got Admin 21.
Streamer 4: Bro, impressive! But I heard someone in our group got Admin 9.
Streamer 5: Admin 9? The lower the number, the more experienced and impressive the admin, right?
Streamer 6: Definitely, getting Admin 9 means they have great potential. Have you heard of Admin 1? They stopped signing new streamers long ago, all the talents are under their wing. If anyone in our group gets there, I’ll kneel down and call them dad.
Seeing everyone’s discussion, Ji Xingchen backed out and looked again at the WeChat name he just added—
MeowMeow TV Administrator 1.
It was exactly as everyone said, the admin who doesn’t sign new streamers—Admin 1.
In Ji Xingchen’s mind, somehow, the words of streamer 6 suddenly came to mind.
After the storm, Ji Xingchen resumed his live broadcast.
As soon as he opened the live broadcast room, he noticed that the atmosphere inside seemed different from before.
One thing was the sudden surge in the number of subscriptions, which had exceeded 100,000.
The other was the room’s popularity.
Previously, in the first ten minutes of his broadcast, the popularity wouldn’t exceed 100,000. But today, just as he started, it was already over 100,000.
[Star is here, finally]
[I wonder if we can catch Brother Feng]
[Is this the streamer rumored to be replied to by Brother Feng in seconds]
The barrage in the live chat was scrolling rapidly, almost all of them were fans of Ran Feng.
Yesterday’s incident was too bizarre, so those who couldn’t dig up any gossip decided to shift their focus and lurk in this small streamer’s livestream.
After understanding the intentions of these viewers through the barrage, Ji Xingchen jokingly addressed them, “Ladies, we don’t have Brother Feng next to the wooden character in our live broadcast room, but we do have a Brother Wanfeng.”
[Guide the ladies to the one who controls by boss wind]
[By the way, we have an advantage for our pretentious streamer and the Boss Jungle King’s beautiful love story. Do you want to pick?]
Deep down, these viewers understood that it wasn’t polite to intrude on someone else’s livestream with a gossipy attitude. Now seeing the small streamer being polite to them and even cracking a joke to ease the awkwardness, their fondness for him instantly increased.
When Ji Xingchen started his broadcast, as usual, viewers asked what he was planning to play. After noticing that almost all the fans in the barrage had names containing the word “Feng,” he solemnly said, “Let’s play ranked games. Tomorrow is the Honor Points Tournament, so I need to practice my heroes. Plus, since we have so many guests today, I should show off my true skills.”
Hearing this, the viewers assumed this small streamer must be a highly skilled and reserved expert.
Then, after two minutes—
Little Star Super Cute: Brothers, anyone up for Jungle King?
Little Star Super Cute: I really like Jungle King, QWQ

Feeling deceived, an iFeng sister exclaimed, [Why is the streamer’s style completely different from what I imagined?!!!]
[This adorable streamer is so cute!]
[Hahaha, didn’t expect you to be this kind of streamer!]

After flirting a bit in the game, Ji Xingchen stopped and focused on practicing his heroes for real. After all, in the Honor Points Tournament, where he played with other streamers, everyone’s skill level was high, so he couldn’t play low-tier heroes like Princess Frost, Daji, or Angela.
Starting a new game, Ji Xingchen chose Xi Shi, a hero known for strong team fights.
As he entered the game, his livestream chat suddenly exploded with messages.
[The revised list of main streamers for the MeowMeow TV Honor Points Tournament has been announced, and that girl named Little Sweetie has been removed.]
[Hahaha, today’s Hall of Fame is also out, Little Sweetie is listed, and the streamer has been banned.]
[I remember she previously hired someone to impersonate our Star, and then she and her fans came to insult us.]
[Serves her right, her livestream’s viewership has dropped too, not even reaching 500,000 tonight, and she was just crying to her boss for gifts during the livestream.]
[Hahaha, this is hilarious, she’s getting her just deserts all at once.]
[Wow, sisters, I just checked the poster for the MeowMeow TV Honor Points Tournament, and our Star’s name is actually on the second row, position C!! Just below three big streamers, sisters, let’s hype up Star’s appearance in the chat!]
[Wow!!!! Our Star is going to be famous!]
The Honor Points Tournament officially began at 12 p.m. on Wednesday.
The three livestreaming platforms hung posters of participating streamers on their homepage announcements the night before to promote the tournament.
Just like in the entertainment industry, the more popular a streamer, the higher their position on these posters.
On MeowMeow TV’s poster, the first row’s position C was given to the platform’s hottest streamers at the moment.
And the second row’s position C was given to Ji Xingchen.
This move by MeowMeow TV undoubtedly favored Ji Xingchen.
Other streamers on the platform, upon seeing this, felt sour and envious.
Soon, someone entered the livestream, saying Ji Xingchen was lucky, and after causing a commotion, the platform was now favoring him.
Some even came to criticize Ji Xingchen, saying that as an entertainment streamer who relies on being cute rather than skill, he didn’t deserve such recognition, mocking that he would surely get knocked down from his position tomorrow.
Ji Xingchen didn’t care about these rankings, nor did he pay attention to the haters. After scanning the poster, he focused on preparing for his match.
The next day, the Honor Points Tournament officially began, with heavy promotion from the official Honor of king, KPL Professional League, MeowMeow TV, Mengjing TV, and Kuge TV.
An hour before the match, the super admin sent Ji Xingchen a special account for the competition.
This account had access to all heroes, runes, and skins, as well as a direct link to the competition channel.
Ji Xingchen logged in early to adjust the runes and skins of his commonly used heroes, to avoid any performance issues during the match due to lack of time for adjustments.
This was the first time that the Honor of king official and livestreaming platforms had organized a competitive event among streamers, with a wide audience.
Therefore, for a streamer like Ji Xingchen, who was just starting to gain popularity, he certainly wouldn’t allow any mistakes.
Viewers in the livestream came early to support Ji Xingchen.
The viewer count in the livestream had already exceeded 300,000 during the less busy daytime hours.
Five minutes before the match started, Ji Xingchen’s livestream received two magic meteor showers.
His eyes suddenly lit up as he looked at the gift givers, “Wind, aren’t you supposed to be at work today? Why are you still watching the livestream?”
[Moderator][Wind Picking Stars]: Just taking a look.
Seeing even the boss taking a break from work to cheer him on, Ji Xingchen felt a bit embarrassed. “Why does it suddenly feel so intense when it’s this heavy?”
[Moderator] [Wind Picking Stars]: Don’t be nervous, you’re strong, believe in yourself.
Receiving encouragement from the boss, Ji Xingchen nodded, “Alright.”
[Little Star, why did you agree so sweetly? Your lovey-dovey exchange with the boss is melting my eyes!]
[The boss would rather skip work than miss Little Star’s first match, tsk tsk tsk]
After exchanging a few words with Boss Wind, the time had already reached twelve o’clock, and the rank button in the bottom right corner instantly lit up.
He clicked on the rank, and the system immediately matched ten streamers into one room, randomly dividing them into two teams of 5v5.
After the grouping was successful, the system gave both sides a little time to observe the opponents.
Ji Xingchen was assigned to the team below, and the other four teammates were Kuge TV Zhanshi, Mengjing TV 17, Mengjing TV Xing Cai, and Kuge TV Feng Liu.
These were streamers from other platforms, and Ji Xingchen didn’t know much about them.
He looked up at the opponent’s names; they were MeowMeow TV Fenhua, MeowMeow TV Zhi’Ai, Kuge TV Yi Lin, Mengjing TV Feiyu, and Mengjing TV Xiao Xiongmao.
Fenhua and Zhi’Ai were from the same platform as Ji Xingchen, so he knew a bit about them, especially Zhi’Ai, who played mid lane like him and had decent skills.
As the ten-second waiting time passed, the system transitioned to the drafting phase, and everyone entered the pick and ban phase together.
The rules of the tournament were somewhat similar to the KPL professional league. Each team could ban four heroes, with bans alternating between teams, for a total of eight banned heroes.
As soon as they entered the drafting phase, the streamers all turned on their microphones.
Kuge TV Zhanshi: “Guys, the opponent’s Yi Lin is a top-tier Marksman in the national server, I’ll ban him first.”
Mengjing TV 17: “Sure, ban him, nobody wants to deal with that Marksman. By the way, guys, what do you want to play? Let’s discuss it to avoid overlaps. I can play any role except mid.”
Kuge TV Zhanshi switched between several hero picks, then settled on Zilong, saying, “I can play either side lane or jungle.”
Mengjing TV Xing Cai: “I’m flexible, I can fill any role.”
Ji Xingchen looked at the positions and saw no conflict, so he pre-selected Mai Shiranui. “I want to play mid.”
To his surprise, as soon as Ji Xingchen said that, Kuge TV Feng Liu also turned on his mic. “I also want to play mid, what’s up, bro? Mid lane is so unpopular, can’t believe there’s competition here.”
After a few seconds, he added, “Oh, who am I talking to? Turns out it’s the MeowMeow TV Star who only knows how to play mid lane, no wonder there’s competition. Heard you only play Daji and Princess Frost in ranked, those bushwhacking flirtation characters to lure the boss. Bro, if we both play mid lane, why are you so provocative?”
The barrier to entry for streamers is quite low, attracting all kinds of people. This Kuge TV Feng Liu is a loudmouth, known for his foul language, and belongs to the category of streamers with very low quality.
His tone and choice of words were contemptuous when talking to Ji Xingchen.
Encountering such a weirdo in his first game, the audience in the chat exploded, wanting to argue with this idiot.
Ji Xingchen knew the other party was deliberately provoking him to create drama, so he didn’t respond.
After pre-selecting Mai Shiranui, he remained silent.
“Why so quiet, sis? Oh, sorry, bro. Heard you sued your own platform a couple of days ago. Can’t believe they dare to let you play in the match?”
Even though they’re on the same team for now, they’re still from rival platforms, and they’ll be opponents in the future. Naturally, Kuge TV Feng Liu wasn’t holding back.
Seeing the reaction of the audience to his taunting of Ji Xingchen, Kuge TV Feng Liu became even more spirited and pre-selected Mai Shiranui to snatch the hero.
“Of course, it’s based on merit,” said Xing Cai. As soon as Kuge TV Feng Liu finished speaking, Xing Cai retorted, “Do you have gender identity disorder? That’s a serious illness, bro. My sister, who can’t tell men from women, is seriously ill and always thinks she’s a brother.”
Xing Cai emphasized the word “brother” heavily, almost calling Kuge TV Feng Liu “little brother.”
“What do you mean? Are you deliberately picking a fight with me?” Kuge TV Feng Liu felt his face couldn’t hold up to the taunting.
Xing Cai chuckled, “Picking a fight? So you’re saying your position clashes with Star, deliberately picking a fight with him?”
“Alright, alright, guys, let’s calm down. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth. They finished banning, so I’ll pick first.” Kuge TV Zhanshi saw things were about to escalate and stepped in to calm the situation, prioritizing the selection of Guan Yu.
“Yeah, let’s not argue,” 17 chimed in to mediate.
“Well, forget it, I won’t stoop to your level…” Kuge TV Feng Liu hadn’t finished speaking when Xing Cai, who was second in line, picked Mai Shiranui.
Xing Cai lowered his voice and said softly, “Star, it’s your turn to play.”
[Laughter erupts]
[Xing Cai is so doting on Star, aww]
[I bet Kuge TV Feng Liu is fuming in front of his phone]
So Mai Shiranui was snatched away by Xing Cai on the second floor and given to Ji Xingchen.
Kuge TV Feng Liu couldn’t secure the mid lane, leaving him speechless with frustration.
After banning another round of heroes and realizing he couldn’t get the mid lane, he felt uneasy. He deliberately snatched the marksman, one of his frequently used roles, to leave the support role for Xing Cai, who went to the fifth floor.
Xing Cai didn’t comment on Kuge TV Feng Liu’s annoying move and quietly picked Niu Mu to play support.
After some undercurrents, the game began.
In this kind of streamer’s match, with all ten streamers’ audiences watching the same game with ten times the attention, naturally, each streamer wanted to shine.
Zhanshi, playing Guan Yu, being a high-ranking player in the national server, immediately went to contest the red buff with Niu Mu against the enemy’s Zhao Yun.
Seeing this, Ji Xingchen, to cooperate with his teammate, followed suit.
The opponents naturally anticipated this situation, and the mid laner also directly released the first wave of minions, joining the jungler, support, and marksman to intercept.
“Guys, they’re coming,” Zhanshi shouted to the marksman, Kuge TV Feng Liu. But Kuge TV Feng Liu saw Mai Shiranui among them and deliberately didn’t go, intending to let them embarrass themselves.
Seeing the situation wasn’t favorable, 17’s Fuzi turned around to support.
Both sides gathered, and just as the game began, a chaotic brawl in the red zone was about to ensue, exciting the audience.
“Let’s fight, let’s fight!”
Ji Xingchen’s Mai Shiranui wasn’t particularly strong in the early game. He hid behind Niu Mu in a safer area, using her second skill to throw a stun and deal damage accurately.
Ji Xingchen’s fan throws were precise, hitting every shot on the enemy marksman. Seeing their low health, the enemy marksman retreated and stopped attacking.
The enemy marksman’s retreat meant that Ji Xingchen’s side had won this chaotic brawl.
Guan Yu took advantage of the situation and chased down the enemy’s Zhao Yun, leaving him low on health.
Seeing the situation turning against him and fearing he might give away first blood, Zhao Yun voluntarily used his ultimate and, with low health, followed Xi Shi toward the mid tower.
Originally, Guan Yu was still prepared to chase, but the opponents were alert and retreated promptly. Except for Mai Shiranui, who had only one-third of her health left, the rest of their team wasn’t in good shape. Plus, they were quite far apart from each other, so he decided not to chase the low-health enemies anymore.
“Awesome, guys, the red buff is ours. Let’s not chase them anymore,” Zhanshi happily announced after securing the red buff and planned to retreat.
However, at this moment, the first blood unexpectedly erupted.
Suddenly, Mai Shiranui, like a ghost, used her second skill to flash over an extremely long distance, appearing in the bush where Zhao Yun was hiding under the tower and swiftly taking him down.
When Mai Shiranui flashes, using her second skill can cancel the animation and adjust direction and distance, but this requires players to have precise positioning and calculation of distance and damage.
In a moment of life and death, Ji Xingchen’s maneuver was so fast that even the audience in the live broadcast couldn’t catch it.
As soon as the unexpected kill was secured, Ji Xingchen and his teammates’ live chat exploded with excitement.
[Mai Shiranui is so awesome, flashing in and getting a kill!]
[If Mai Shiranui hadn’t been visible, I would’ve thought she had used her ultimate!]
[Her fan throws are too accurate!]
Zhao Yun: Impressive!
Zhanshi: Mai Shiranui’s showing off!
17: Brother, so slick!
Xing Cai: Brother Star, amazing!
Ji Xingchen thanked everyone and continued to farm.
In the ranked match, many streamers didn’t know each other or their opponents’ skills. Now, with Ji Xingchen’s impressive play, his teammates admired him, even giving him priority in the top lane.
Ji Xingchen’s subsequent performance didn’t disappoint either, securing eight kills and having the highest gold in the game.
Ten minutes later, another team fight erupted in the bottom lane.
Kuge TV Feng Liu’s Lady Sun was surrounded by four opponents. When the jungler and support rushed over, he couldn’t withstand the pressure of the four enemies, especially with his mistakes in marksman mechanics, and was taken down by the enemy Chang’e and Xi Shi.
“The marksman is down, we can’t fight anymore, guys,” Zhanshi observed the situation and decided it was best to retreat.
Ji Xingchen, crouching in the river bush, spoke up.
“Don’t leave, guys. Their support and mage don’t have ultimates. Trust me and let’s engage.”
Xing Cai responded, “Alright.”
Zhanshi was hesitant at first, but seeing Xing Cai’s enthusiastic agreement, he followed suit.
Although he followed along, he still had some doubts in his mind.
Their Mai Shiranui did indeed make impressive plays, but he still had some doubts about her.
Feng Liu, lying on the ground, couldn’t help but mock again when he saw Mai Shiranui trying to show off.
“Can’t handle it, huh? All five of them are there. Just because you got lucky and got a few kills, you think you’re invincible? Do you really think your Mai Shiranui can take on all five?”
His teammates ignored him.
Fuzi, hearing that there might be a fight, also came over to support. He used his second skill to soak up damage, and Niu Mu followed suit and used his ultimate to charge in.
Niu Mu’s flash ultimate was executed beautifully, directly targeting the enemy marksman.
Seeing this, Ji Xingchen threw a fan from behind, leaving the marksman severely injured.
The mage and support rushed to the marksman’s side to protect him.
Ji Xingchen was waiting for this moment.
He used his flash and first skill to dash out of the bush. His first skill bypassed the tank rushing to protect the marksman and directly hit the enemy support, mage, marksman, and jungler.
Four of them were sent flying by his kick, their health reduced by half.
After controlling four enemies with his first skill, Ji Xingchen quickly followed up with his ultimate and passive, while Zhanshi saw Mai Shiranui engaging four enemies and swiftly jumped in to deal damage.
A few seconds later, accompanied by the excited shout from the ground, “Bro, that was awesome!”
Ji Xingchen’s Mai Shiranui secured a triple kill.
Ji Xingchen from MeowMeow TV.
A kick to fame!
