PS-Chapter 21 There Will Always Be a Place for Me!

"Lu Fei, is it true or fake?"

"Are you kidding me? They've banned my account? What the heck!"

"Hehe, it's just the big shop bullying the customers. ''StarryLive'' has always been like this."

"What should we do? The newly created fan community and groups, are they going to disband? I feel like crying!"

"This is too overbearing. Banning accounts for not signing contracts is outrageous!"

"Let's all think of a way together."

When Lu Chen shared the news about his account suspension due to the signing contract in the ''Lu family'' WeChat group, the chat xploded with activity.

Fans online were all fired up, expressing their anger. Some condemned ''StarryLive'''s arrogance, others lamented Lu Chen's nascent achievements, and some insisted they would not let it go easily.

Prophet Li Bai: "Don't need to say more. If you support General Lu, let's all post on the forum to protest. The more noise we make, the more attention we'll get from ''StarryLive'''s higher-ups. They need to understand that even a small streamer shouldn't be bullied by them!"

Li Bai arrived a bit late, but as soon as he spoke, the group seemed to find its rallying point. Everyone agreed with his suggestion and prepared to flood the forum with posts.

Lu Chen: "Thank you all for your support. However, I don't want to stay on ''StarryLive'' anymore, and I don't want to trouble you all by arguing with the officials. I'll just switch platforms."

These fans were enthusiastic and sincere, and Lu Chen didn't want to use them to fight for his rights.

Prophet Li Bai said: "General Lu, this isn't just your issue; it's ours too. Even if we leave, we should leave with a bang and not let ourselves be bullied for nothing!"

"Right!"

"Li Bai is mighty! Supporting General Lu is supporting you too!"

"Support +1!"

"Stop talking and get posting, everyone! Let's keep up the pace!"

"Good, let's fly our ''Lu family'' banner high in the star circle!"

Even though Lu Chen had experienced 3 different lives in the Dream World, he was still essentially a passionate young man. Seeing the group's fervor, he was also inspired: "Let's do it together! I recorded the conversation with the Super Admin and saved it in the shared group. Everyone can attach it as evidence when posting!"

He had been cautious during his conversation with Super Admin 002 and had used screen recording software to save the chat logs.

"Great! Evidence is perfect!"

"I've downloaded it. Load up and set off to storm the star circle!"

"Seen it. Damn Super Admin 002! That ID should be the little boss!"

"Doesn't matter if it's the big boss or the little boss. We'll deal with it!"

"Brothers, I'll take the lead!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Although this newly formed fan group didn't have many members yet, the members showed great solidarity and fighting spirit.

Unfortunately, their opponent was too powerful and completely unreasonable.

The group members logged into the website and quickly discovered that the Star Circle group they had just established yesterday was already gone.

When they went to the public section to protest, the moment they posted, their posts were deleted immediately. The speed of the forum administrators was astonishing.

Not only were the posts deleted, but the posting IDs were also silenced or even banned, leaving no chance for any defense!

If this were a battle, it was definitely a lopsided one, with ''Lu family'' members like mantises trying to stop a moving wheel, crushed into dust in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was furious but had no means to counter the situation.

"F'ck! Our star circle has been disbanded!"

"555~ The post I just made was deleted, and my account is banned."

"Me too. There's an admin on the forum. They must have set up keywords, and as soon as I posted, they knew."

"All the old posts have been deleted too. They're really fast and ruthless!"

"Hehe, it's the same everywhere."

Prophet Li Bai said: "I've been silenced as well. They didn't even give us a chance to speak."

Faced with such a powerful and unreasonable website official, even this wealthy individual felt helpless and could only angrily swear: "Damn it! If I spend another cent there, I'll change my last name!"

Lu Chen said: "Everyone, let's pause for now and think of another way."

He didn't want to dampen his fans' spirits or see them get hurt trying to fight an overwhelming opponent.

It felt really bad, but what could he do against such a massive force?

The initially high-spirited atmosphere in the group quickly turned gloomy and downcast. Many people sighed and felt dejected.

What else can we do in this situation?

"Forget about it, let's move to another website. I will always support General Lu!"

Someone suggested: "I believe in General Lu's abilities. Our ''Lu family'' army will never give up!"

"Yes, exactly! We will never give up!"

"Just like General Lu said, to hell with ''StarryLive''!"

"Haha, let's go to hell with them!"

Lu Chen looked at the conversations scrolling on his screen and felt a warm feeling inside.

At this moment, a member with the ID "Coral Fish" said: "Lu Fei, I'm an admin from ''Whale TV''. How about coming to be a streamer with us?"

The chat group exploded immediately.

"Whoa, ''Whale TV'' admin? Is this real or fake?"

"Don't joke around!"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect our General Lu's fame would reach ''Whale TV''!"

"If it's true, going to ''Whale TV'' is also a good option!"

"Didn't expect, didn't expect, we have a 007 hidden in our group!"

"Everyone, stop arguing and see what General Lu says!"

"..."

Coral Fish didn't speak further but posted a screenshot showing ''Whale TV'''s admin backend.

The screenshot strongly proved their identity.

Prophet Li Bai privately messaged Lu Chen: "General Lu, do you want to try ''Whale TV''?"

Lu Chen had recently brushed up on a lot of information about online live streaming and knew that ''Whale TV'' was one of the earliest live streaming platforms in the country. It focused mainly on game live streaming and had a significant share in the top three online games: CKG, Heroic City, and Planet Dominator.

However, the established ''Whale TV'' was facing intense competition from ''Sky Live Streaming'' and ''StarryLive'', having lost many popular streamers and seeing its popularity decline.

Despite this, ''Whale TV'' was still a well-known name online.

''Whale TV'' was unwilling to fall behind. They were increasing their resource investments to explore new fields while keeping a close eye on competitors. So, it wasn't surprising that an admin would appear in Lu Chen's group.

New and capable streamers who hadn't signed contracts were exactly the kind of talent they were eager to recruit!

And with water flowing downhill and people rising to higher places, was joining ''Whale TV'' the right choice for Lu Chen?

Prophet Li Bai also expressed his concern.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and replied directly in the group chat: "Going to ''Whale TV'' is an option, but if the contract terms are harsh, I can't accept them!"

This was a line he needed to stand firm on, not wanting to repeat the same mistakes he had with ''StarryLive''.

Coral Fish responded: "Lu Fei, I saw what happened to you at ''StarryLive''. ''Whale TV'' won't be so harsh. However, my authority is limited. Let me discuss the specific contract terms with the operations department manager and get back to you."

"Also, I can guarantee that all ''Lu family'' members who join ''Whale TV'' will have the same rank as they did at ''StarryLive'', because I am also part of the ''Lu family'' army!"

He added a smiley face emoji at the end.

On online live streaming platforms, member account levels are generally the same. Apart from ordinary members, there are mainly five ranks: Diamond, Gold, Silver, Iron, and Bronze, with each rank divided into sub-levels I, II, III, IV, … and IX.

Advancement relies on points, which mainly come from paid gifts. For instance, Prophet Li Bai, being Gold II, must have spent at least 200,000 at ''StarryLive'', making him a small-time tycoon.

Normally, when transferring to another live streaming platform, one would have to accumulate points from scratch. However, some platforms offer to match ranks to attract clients. If one is a Gold member at ''StarryLive'', they would start as Gold rank at ''StarryLive''.

Higher-level members enjoy various discounts and privileges, often coveted by many streamers.

However, this method was previously used only by smaller platforms, while large platforms considered it beneath them. Coral Fish bringing it up voluntarily indicated that ''Whale TV'' was indeed in a tough spot.

Yet, this also showed Lu Chen the sincerity of the offer, without any deceitful gimmicks.

Lu Chen typed one word on his keyboard: "Okay!"

He had decided that as long as ''Whale TV'''s contract was not harsh, he would start fresh there!
