Chapter 12 So, You can also Broadcast This Way

Everyone was curious to know just how Ye Fei managed to earn so much money from so few people. Thus, they eagerly watch the rerun with Liu Ping.

Liu Ping opened up the QQ Platform and quickly found the playback version of Ye Feis broadcast. He clicked it open and put it on full screen.

Yi~? This guy is not facing the screen?

[1] Or eating?

Whats he doing? This is the Fine Food Channel, so wheres the fine food?

He seems to be making something,

F*ck, this guys knife skills are pretty amazing, ah. Look at those potato threads, without at least 7 or 8 years of training, you cant cut things as uniformly as that.

Oh, so, its a cooking demonstration? I wonder, could you draw fan interest through live cooking?The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Shh! Shut up and watch,

The entire cast of statisticians abandoned their work to crowd around Liu Pings workstation. Their eyes stared fixedly at the monitor.

On the screen, Ye Fei had finally finished cutting all the potato threads. Frying would be the next step.

Frying potato threads could be considered an art in itself. Since the threads are so finely cut, the potato threads could burn or break easily.

Youre right, hey look, hes starting.

Hm? Hes not using normal cooking oil? Just what is that oil? It looks like a block of pink lard [1]?

Strange, Ive never seen pink lard before. You guys know anything about it?

Suddenly, a girl with glasses screamed. She quickly clapped her hand over her mouth, [1] but the others were already looking in her direction. However, she did not seem to realise this as she stared at Liu Pings screen as though mesmerized.

Ah Zhu, whats that scream for? You startled me, a fellow colleague said with some annoyance.

Ah Zhu lifted a trembling finger and stammered, He- he just fried potatoes with Rose Oil. Th-thi-this is just too extravagant, ah.

Liu Ping looked at Ah Zhu, Is this Rose Oil that rare?

Ah Zhu nodded continuously, Not just rare, its very precious. Thats a very unique type of cooking oil made with top quality ingredients. Moreover, scientists have imbued all sorts of beneficial supplements into the oil that are good for the human body. To cater to the different tastes of many people, they made different kinds of oil scented with different fragrances.

This pink oil is especially unique since it is flavoured with rose oil. Not only is this top-grade luxury product very expensive. It is not something that could be easily purchased with money alone. Those who could afford it are all rich and powerful. Even so, this oil is used to show off their wealth and is not something they would regularly consume. Unexpectedly, that bastard Ye Fei actually dared to use a top-grade, specially fortified [1], precious Rose Oil to fry potato threads. I I just cant!!

The more she spoke the angrier and more excited she became. Finally, she ended up cursing Ye Fei for wasting such a fine ingredient on potatoes. Moreover, it was deep fried potatoes, ah!

You cursed bastard! Does your family own a bank? Even if you can afford these precious things, thats not how you appreciate it, ah! So much oil wasted on just a single plate of potato threads? What kind of wasteful m*therf*cker are you, ah!

As Ah Zhu continued to rant, everyone stared at the screen, stunned.

F*ck, that guys a local tyrant?

Those interested to watch big eaters gorge themselves were very excited when they saw the announcement for this challenge and every one of them happily popped into his channel to watch the spectacle.

As for this Devourer of Rivers & Peaks, he was someone who delivers what he promises. The broadcast opened with him sitting behind a pile of food. After looking into the camera, he began to eat.

When the viewers in the channel saw him gobble up the food, they began to alternatively cheer and heckle him. Naturally, the rewards thrown at him were not stingy either. Especially from Devourer of Rivers & Peaks die-hard fans. Each time he devoured a piece of chicken fillet or swallowed a hamburger, applause, lollipops and flowers covered the screen.

While he ate, he joked and chatted with his viewers too. An hour and a half later, Devourer of Rivers & Peaks had devoured most of the food. There were already 30,000 viewers on the channel. The rewards had exceeded 15,000.

For an Iron Star broadcaster, this result was already quite impressive. Looking over his number of viewers and the amount of reward, Devourer of Rivers & Peaks felt that this was a most successful performance.

Later, his reward kept increasing by 2,000 as this guy really did chow down a burger for every rise. However, once the reward reached 20,000, he could not take it anymore and had to end the broadcast.

Once he had logged off, Devourer of Rivers & Peaks was so stuffed that he could not move anymore.

Beside him, a sharp-looking young man was staring at his laptop.

Hey Chimp, we just made 20,000 today. This should be a new record for Iron Star broadcasters, right? Even Unstoppable Gastronaut [3] didnt earn as much back then, right? said Devourer of Rivers & Peaks.

Chimp made a little hum before turning the laptop around to show statistics, Thats right, there are more than 34,000 viewers on your channel. Of these, 8,695 gifted you something. Therefore, according to the QQ Platforms rules, they all counted as your fans. In other words, you now have 8,695 fans. To become a Bronze Star Rank 1 broadcaster, you need to have 8,000 to 10,000 fans. Right now you can be counted as a Bronze Star broadcaster. I believe you will receive notice of your promotion from the system soon.

Devourer of Rivers & Peaks rubbed his swollen belly, I think todays show should make the top 3 earners at Fine Food Section.

It should, said Chimp with a smile.

While the two were chatting amiably with each other, Chimps phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a message alert. So, he opened it. Suddenly, his expression changed.

Gumihou: Lol, you already know Gumis opinion of this artificially coloured, fortified and scented oil. Could possibly exist but probably wont be good in real life.

Also, all that cutting edge scientist fortifying the oil with nutrients?

Food fortification had been happening since 1920 (America, fortifying salt with iodine to prevent goiter)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_fortification

Fortified oil more than 50 years ago in India (1953, Vitamin A & D, because these are fat soluble vitamins)

[1] Added/Adjusted details to prop the text.

[2] Zha Jiang Mian, is probably the inspiration for the Korean /zha-jiang-mian/

Personally, I prefer the Chinese version. Its a matter of taste. That or I never had really good Jajangmyeon.

[3] Unstoppable Gastronaut

The original name is which translates roughly to Unending Taste however, it is also a pun for Unending Stomach or Unending Appetite. Taking into consideration of these puns ( wi and wi )as well as how also carried the meaning of unstoppable or powerful (like, ahem, a juggernaut), we ended up with Unstoppable Gastronaut.

Much credit to Pill Bug for the suggestion~!
