Abriella raised her voice. "Yeah! Don't tell me you didn't even know you already have a massive fan base?"
Emmy truly didn't know. She barely paid any attention to internet fandom circles.
Abriella hummed with a hint of pride. "I've been secretly lurking in their core Group 1 for a while now! I spent quite a bit of money just to infiltrate that core group."
Emmy frowned, her first reaction being that her best friend had fallen for a romance scam. Her tone turned a bit more serious. "Abriella, tell me you didn't get scammed."
Abriella chuckled dismissively. "Relax, I wouldn't fall for something like that. Besides, every penny I spent went solidly toward supporting you!"
Emmy was bewildered. "Toward me?"
Abriella then launched into a lengthy explanation. "Do you know why your name stayed trending for so long after you won the AI award? Even when someone deliberately tried to suppress it or have it taken down midway, it still forced its way back up the charts! That was all thanks to us fans pulling money from our own pockets and throwing real cash at it!"
Abriella continued with a sigh. "Actually, I haven't spent that much compared to others. I only dropped a few tens of thousands. The president of the group is the one with real money. Based on my estimates, she's easily spent millions from start to finish! This wealthy president also randomly invites everyone out for offline dinners. See, this time she just straight-up booked the grand banquet hall at The Grand Regency for a gathering! Even your major international fans flew back specifically for it, and I heard they even brought a Mini replica robot with them!"
Abriella spoke with increasing excitement. "Everyone in the group is rubbing their hands together in anticipation right now!"
She thought for a moment and made a decision. "I'll have my assistant go to The Grand Regency in a bit. Since it's a gathering for my fans, I'm going to cover all the expenses this time. I'll also have him prepare some customized gifts for everyone. I can't let everyone support me for nothing."
Abriella was overjoyed on the other end of the line. "Wow! When they find out, they're going to die of happiness! Emmy, if you can show up at the gala in person, I guarantee the crowd will absolutely lose their minds!"
Emmy considered it seriously. The security situation in the Capital had recently been restructured, meaning she could now go out freely.
A smile formed on Emmy's lips. "Alright, I'll go tomorrow. But please keep it a secret in the group for now. I want to give them a surprise."
