Chapter 594 - 613: Going Live
Mei Lin really was one of Jiang Qiuqiu’s oldest fans.
The military training for the nobles in the finance department was just a formality. The students didn’t want to train, and the instructors brought in didn’t want to unwittingly offend some noble. So, on the training grounds, both sides...
Well, if you know, you know.
So, Mei Lin didn’t suffer much at all. She breezed through the fifteen days and started her finance studies ahead of schedule.
To be honest, she had always studied at a girls’ school for nobles, where she mostly learned etiquette, painting, Ancient Earth culture, and other subjects required of a proper lady.
This was the first time she had ever encountered a discipline like this.
Finance!
The lecturer was actually a bit of a hack and not particularly skilled, but it was precisely because the content was so simple that the young lady of the Dais Family could understand it and develop an interest.
After stumbling along for half a month, Mei Lin felt she was starting to get a basic grasp of business.
Her happy student life continued until the day military training ended. Hearing that today was the last day of training for the Mecha Single Soldier System, Mei Lin took the morning off. She was determined to see Jiang Qiuqiu today!
But, she arrived too early and ended up waiting for a long time. Mei Lin got a little hungry and decided to go with Jiang Jiang to the cafeteria for a bite before coming back. Unexpectedly, just as they returned, they were told, "Ah, she just left."
Mei Lin was furious. The young miss stomped her foot in anger.
"What is going on with the timing? It’s been a whole month! I miss her every single time!"
She was livid.
Then Jiang Jiang suggested they go look for her directly at her dorm. The young miss went this time, only to be told that the moment she had returned to her room, she had left again.
"..."
’Looks like it’s impossible to see Jiang Qiuqiu on a Mecha Department rest day.’
She stomped back to her room, opened her terminal, and discovered that Juju had posted an announcement: she would resume her stream at four in the afternoon.
"Alright, so she just rushed back to stream."
"It’s unfortunate timing, but she’s really dedicated. And streaming for so long, too."
"Let’s go find her in person after the stream is over."
"Yes, Miss. You can go straight to the Mecha Department. You’ll be less likely to miss her that way."
So, Mei Lin decided to go find her at the department building in a couple of days.
She had already taken half the day off, and now she didn’t feel like going to her afternoon classes. Plus, with the stream starting at 4 p.m., Mei Lin decided to stay in her dorm to watch, skipping a couple of classes in the process.
Time ticked by, second by second.
She took a nap at 2:30 and woke up just as the stream was starting.
’It’s been a while since I’ve been in this stream room.’
The familiar golden emblem of the [Federation’s #1 Streamer] lit up. It was the same familiar face and the same iconic catchphrase: "Hi, everyone! Long time no see. Welcome back to my food stream. I’m your host, Jiang Qiuqiu, and today’s menu is—well, it’s a bit long, so let’s take our time with it!"
Mei Lin sat bolt upright.
Jiang Jiang watched from the side, their eyes lowered.
It was impossible to know what they were thinking.
Meanwhile, Jiang Qiuqiu had already started her stream. Just like always, she was in the kitchen while Mo Si was on the sofa in the adjoining open-plan living room, watching her quietly.
This was her first stream after a month-long hiatus.
Greetings poured in from the audience.
[Is military training over? She must be done with military training!]
[AHHHH! My Juju actually lost weight!]
[Incredible, incredible! Did she come straight here to stream after getting off the Hovercar...? Juju works so hard.]
[A six-hour stream? Can you handle it?]
[So what’s on the menu? Can you tell us? I’m so excited!]
As the questions flooded in, the number of viewers in the stream room grew and grew. It started at over three billion and jumped by another hundred million every few seconds. Jiang Qiuqiu’s popularity was truly well-deserved.
"Did I lose weight? Maybe a little bit. It’s okay, I’ll eat and drink and fatten right back up."
"I took a little break after getting off the Hovercar before coming on. Six hours straight should be fine. As for the dishes... let’s take it slow. We’ll see how many I can make and try to do as many as possible."
"So, without further ado, let’s get cooking!"
"TADAAA! First, let’s welcome back our old friend, the kitchen knife!"
With a kitchen knife and the world at her feet, six hours gave her plenty of time to tackle a much wider variety of dishes.
Roast duck, pork knuckle, stewed chicken soup, lion’s head meatballs—all the fan favorites were back!
Besides the meats, there were also vegetables. A dazzling array of ingredients was brought out one by one. There were so many that the small kitchen island couldn’t hold them all. Jiang Qiuqiu thought for a moment and decided to drag the table from outside over to hold the plates of prepped ingredients.
She got up to move it, and the camera drone followed, switching its view.
But the tricky part was that while the table didn’t look very big, it was not light at all. A closer look revealed it was made of metal designed to imitate Ancient Earth quartz. On top of that, the floor was rather delicate; dragging the table would probably leave marks. It had to be carried.
Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t move the table by herself.
[What’s she gonna do? Is the table that heavy?]
[If Juju can’t move it, call the butler bot!]
[Yeah, yeah! She had an assistant bot before, too. If she calls them both over, it should be fine.]
Just as the viewers in the bullet chat were getting anxious, Mo Si stood up. He raised a hand and gestured to Jiang Qiuqiu.
He was coming over to help her move it.
