The streams went live, and fans flocked to their favorite streamerās channel.
This was the biggest live PK battle in the food section, boasting the highest number of concurrent viewers ever.
The first public showdown between a veteran powerhouse and the sceneās New Star.
Wang Henliās fans were no strangers to Jiang Qiuqiuās name. Likewise, Jiang Qiuqiuās fans werenāt exactly fond of Wang Henli.
"Welcome, everyone, to my food stream. Iām Jiang Jiujiu, and this is the final round of the food PK. Thank you for all your support along the way."
[We should be the ones thanking Juju! For being with us all this time!]
[Youāve brought us so many yummy dishes~]
[Youāve been with me on every night I couldnāt stomach Nutrient Liquidāā]
"Todayās stream is a little different from my usual ones. I wonāt be shutting down the stream right after the PK ends." Jiang Qiuqiu was ready to exploit a loophole in the competitionās rules. "The stream will run all the way until midnight. Iāll keep bringing out new dishes, so if all goes according to plan, everyone can eat to their heartās content today!"
[!]
[???]
[Is this another surprise bonus stream?]
[This is awesome!! Iām gonna @ all my friends to get over here!]
[Really? Eat our fill? I donāt believe you! #SinisterGrin #UnleashingMyAbyssMaw#]
Wave after wave of excitement quickly flooded the stream chat. The atmosphere was one of pure elation, and no one even mentioned going over to Wang Henliās stream to troll him anymore.
Tonight, Jiang Qiuqiu planned to defeat Wang Henli using only one method.
Use-Magic, to fight-Magic.
Meanwhile, Wang Henliās expression darkened. During the live battle, the feeds from both streams were linked and the screens were shared for the audience. However, the streamers themselves couldnāt see or hear each other.
But Wang Henli was wary of Jiang Qiuqiu, so he had used another terminal in his home to open her stream, listening in with an earpiece so he could react to her moves.
When he heard Jiang Qiuqiu announce she was extending her stream, his first thought was that she was trying to bait viewers and boost her own popularity.
As he cursed her for being devious, a thought crossed his mind. āShe never pulled any of these tricks before. But the moment sheās up against me, she suddenly tries this...ā
āDoes this mean sheās a little intimidated by me, too?ā
At that thought, Wang Henli felt a surge of limitless motivation.
āIām a chosen one, too! The heir to a culinary legacy! I...ā
āI can do it, too.ā
He lifted his head, looked confidently into the camera, and announced, "Today is my day to give back to all my fans, old and new. For todayās stream, win or lose, weāre going to feast until dawn."
"Iāve prepared several types of dishes, and I hope everyone eats their fill!"
The bullet comments on his stream, naturally, also erupted in cheers.
After the opening warm-up, both streamers got to work.
Jiang Qiuqiu was making barbecue today, so she had to wash vegetables and thread them onto skewers.
Wang Henliās main dish today was also skewers. After streaming for so long, heād found that skewers always got the best response from his fans.
No matter how many times he made them, tons of people would show up to eat. Plus, with so many varieties, there was always a sense of novelty since they never knew what theyād manage to grab each time.
Since both of them were washing vegetables and putting them on skewers, viewers naturally felt the two were perfectly in sync.
In Qiuqiuās stream, everyone was happily askingā
[Is it skewers today?]
[I love skewers! Are skewers making a comeback!!]
[AHHHH! I only managed to eat a radish last time! Can I get something else this time?]
[Is it skewers? I love the taste of these so, so much! *sob* Theyāre super yummy!]
