I Went Viral Across the Stars by Taming Beasts - Chapter 1

I had transmigrated into the body of a lower-class citizen in the interstellar age.

The original owner had died after pulling an all-nighter on stream. Her entire legacy consisted of 6.66 star credits in her account…

And a streamer profile with exactly zero followers.

Worse, there was barely any food left in the house.

Until I figured out how this world worked, I had no choice but to pick up where she had left off if I wanted to avoid starving—

By becoming a StarNet streamer.

I considered the name of my channel for a moment, then settled on my future direction.

【Keeper Xie—Free Advice for All Your Animal Problems】

Before transmigrating, I had worked as a zookeeper.

Animals had always loved me. Stray cats and dogs would surround me just for walking down the street, so the job had come naturally.

No matter how naughty or unruly a little creature was, a few days with me would turn it into an affectionate angel.

Naturally, I assumed becoming a pet streamer would be just as easy.

Instead, the moment I went live—before I had even said a word—the ridicule began.

【Huh? What kind of comedy did I just scroll into? A “keeper”? Is this some new kink thing?】

【Hello, streamer. I’m a doctor from the psychiatric hospital. We’d be delighted to admit you.】

The handful of comments that appeared all accused me of being a fraud.

I was baffled.

Sure, I wasn’t licensed in this world yet, but I had years of actual experience. That hardly made me a con artist.

And I wasn’t playing some tasteless character for attention. Why did everyone hate the idea so much?

Unable to make sense of it, I tried to prove myself.

“Friends, if you have any animal-related problems, feel free to ask me. Maybe your pet has lost its appetite, or you’re worried about its behavior…”

I had not even finished when the comments became livelier.

Almost every one of them was vicious.

【What’s that supposed to mean? Is she taking a shot at us? Who is she calling a pet?】

【The platform seriously needs to crack down. Streamers will say anything for views these days.】

The abuse left me utterly confused.

Amid the flood of insults, only one or two different voices occasionally surfaced.

【ngl, hearing her voice really did calm me down.】

【I’ve been under so much mental stress lately that I nearly went berserk in public several times. But the moment I heard her voice, I suddenly felt peaceful.】

Those few supportive remarks were immediately swallowed by the torrent of hate.

No matter how I explained myself, most viewers had already decided I was a fraud.

I sighed. Maybe I really was not cut out for this.

Infamy was still fame, but I clearly did not have the nerves to thrive on it…

Just as I was about to end the stream in defeat, the page froze.

The next second, ten Galactic Starship gifts blasted across the screen in a row.

The gifts were worth a hundred thousand star credits. The comment section went dead silent.

Yet the lavish patron said nothing in the stream itself.

Using a randomly generated string of numbers as a username, he sent me a private message backstage.

“If you truly possess this ability, please help soothe my lord.”
