Chapter 250: The Fall and The Panic

The livestream’s title displayed the hashtag #Jiang Jiujiu’s Food Broadcast#. Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The point was, Tong Dawei recognized the person doing the broadcast.

She was the campus goddess from the Ancient Earth Literature department.

When Tong Dawei was young and naive, having just started at the university, he had bravely pursued this goddess of an upperclassman. But she was as cold as ice and gave him no response whatsoever.

She wouldn’t accept gifts or flowers. She didn’t need him to get her meals. He was even ignored when he sat next to her during public lectures. To Tong Dawei, the goddess had always been an ice lotus on a cliff’s edge—completely unattainable. Like a Princess of frost—

And yet today, the Princess:

"Hello, fans of Wang Henli. Right now, I’m trying out the roasted bird I managed to snag from streamer Jiang Jiujiu’s food showcase."

"You don’t need me to tell you how good this roasted bird looks. It’s golden and glistening, and it definitely looks better than those skewers you guys like. Here, I’m taking another bite—"

A satisfied smile spread across her once-icy face. "It’s just as good as the first time I had it. The rich aroma hits you the moment it enters your mouth. The flavor is even more unique when you eat it with the dipping sauce. Wrapping it with scallion whites in a spring pancake and popping it in your mouth... The oils meld with the pancake, with a bit of crispy skin and tender meat in every bite. It’s so delicious."

"This dish is still for sale in streamer Jiang Jiujiu’s food showcase, but there are only ninety million servings left! If you want to try it, you have to order fast!"

As she finished, she pulled the camera in close, focusing on herself. "To all of Wang Henli’s fans who intend to buy this after watching my video, please add my ID in the purchase notes. Thank you~" After speaking, she gave a sweet wink and flashed a beautiful smile.

Tong Dawei: "..."

In that instant, his heart shattered with a CRACK.

But in the next second, he was instantly revived and rushed over to the goddess’s livestream channel!

’It’s just buying something, right?! I’ll buy it!’

After he left, people in the group chat kept posting videos of handsome men and beautiful women livestreaming.

—Damn, why are there so many beautiful women among her fans?

—Holy crap, why are there so many handsome guys in the livestream section?

—...Why is my dreamboat one of her fans? Why is he doing such a lame broadcast?

—Me too...

—Even though her food might not taste good, I kind of want to support the pretty girl. #Image# This girl is gorgeous!

—I have sinned. I actually argued with a guy that handsome, and I even cussed him out. #Video# Is that a god-tier face or what? And he’s even from my planet!

Between the food streamer you’ve been a fan of for years and the goddess/dreamboat you just laid eyes on, who would you choose?

Duh. The beautiful girls and handsome guys, of course!

If you challenge us on the basis of food, we might be able to band together and fight back.

But with a visual feast like this, how could anyone not throw their money at you?

Countless of Wang Henli’s fans flooded Jiang Qiuqiu’s food showcase, and then, one by one, they all started exclaiming how amazing it was.

When Wang Henli came back from a short break, he discovered his world had been turned upside down. He checked the conversation in the group chat, his brow furrowing. He also went to watch one of those livestreams from their circle and clicked into Jiang Qiuqiu’s food showcase.

Before this, he had never imagined he would lose to Jiang Qiuqiu in terms of flavor or culinary skill.

But then he remembered she had also made skewers, and there were her previous dishes... ’Maybe she has a legacy recipe, too!’ In the end, Wang Henli bought a serving of the food.

The instant the food arrived at the dispenser, his expression darkened.

It smelled too good.

He took a bite—

He instantly put down his chopsticks, rose to his feet, and began to pace. Then, he opened his terminal and accessed a Mercenary organization on the dark web.

’Those hands cannot be allowed to exist.’
