As everyone gathered to await Ye Fei’s 12:10 pm broadcast, the rest of the Fine Food Section’s Deities did not remain idle.

 

Fine Food Section – Iron Stomach’s channel.

Iron Stomach, “So, this guy plans to start at 12:10 pm? Very well, we shall start our broadcast at the same time too. Let’s see who has the greater pulling power. That new egg or me, old bull Iron Stomach.”

“Ha-ha, Iron Stomach, you really want to challenge this Ye Fei?”

“Looks like Iron Stomach is feeling some pressure from Ye Fei.”

“Great Deity Iron Stomach, is the 1.05 meter Super Pizza ready yet?”

“That’s right, that’s right, we all want to see the pizza first. Even I haven’t seen that monster yet.”

“I’m really effing curious how Great Deity Iron Stomach get his hands on this giant pizza.”

Seeing the lively chatter on his channel made Iron Stomach happy. Hooking their interest and whetting their appetites for what was to come was the first step on his road to success. If the people don’t find your content interesting, what’s the point of them wasting their money on you, ah?”

“My comrades, the Super Pizza is now done. It is here. Though I did intend to wait for a bit, I can let everyone have a peek first.”

So saying, Iron Stomach turned around and lifted the extra-large tray up. On the tray was a golden brown pizza topped with all kinds of vegetables and ham.

“Oh f*ck, just how big is it, ah?”

“That’s the 1.05 meter pizza? Your mom, even if you give me three days I won’t be able to finish one, ah.”

“Great Deity Iron Stomach, you sure you can destroy this thing?”

“So scary.”

“Great Deity Iron Stomach, if you can really eat the entire thing, I will reward you with a sports car.”

“F*ck, I’m not as rich, so I can only afford an electric car.”

“I promise a sports car.”

“… …”

Seeing these fans pledge their rewards, Iron Stomach felt as though flowers were blooming within his heart. He could immediately tell that if all of these pledges were honoured, he would break Ye Fei’s record.

“Little guy, in the end, you’re just a new shoot, ah. Can you see this? This is an older brother’s strength. The pledges alone are enough to crush you.”

 

The Song & Dance Section – Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance’s channel.

Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance also have his fans. After completing the song ‘My Flustered Heart’, mesmerizing countless fans into throwing rewards at him, his current reward count soared to HX¥42,000.

Seeing his reward go up, Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance’s energy also went up accordingly.

“This is the power of the Song & Dance Section, ah. As expected, this is still the coolest section. I’ve already reached HX¥42,000. Well, Ye Fei? Daddy has already shot past your record by 10,000!”

 

Storytelling Section – Torrential Rivermouth’s channel.

A brilliant sketch by Torrential Rivermouth that was filled with drama, eloquence and deep feelings garnered a total of HX¥45,000 in a single sweep. This was the first time Storytelling Section had overtaken Song & Dance in anything.

Torrential Rivermouth sat back, a folding fan in his hand and satisfaction warming his belly.

“Ye Fei? Hehe, just who is Ye Fei? Compared to this daddy, you’re lucky if I don’t accidentally step on a bug like you.”

 

12 o’clock.

The people at QQ Fine Food Broadcasting Section were running around frantically as the broadcasting time grew closer, they found that there were already people hanging around Ye Fei’s channel.

Though Ye Fei himself was not there, there were already people poking about.

“Hey, did Deity Ye mention what he’s going to broadcast today?”

“He’ll definitely make a dish of some sort, but nobody knows what he’ll make.”

“Xiaomin, go and ask.”

Tang Xiaomin immediately fired a PP message at Ye Fei.

Ye Fei was sitting in front of his computer when he received the message. With a bitter smile he sent an equally quick reply:

“I don’t know either.”

Tang Xiaomin, “… …”

Her body started to sway a little, almost missing the chair as she suddenly sat down.

Oi, brother, you don’t know? You’re supposed to do a broadcast today and you don’t know? You’re teasing me, right?

“Great Deity, you…”

Ye Fei had sent an emoji that showed a helpless face with both palms up in a shrug, “I really don’t know what I’ll be doing.”

Tang Xiaomin slammed her forehead to the desk and groaned: We’re really waiting for you to show your colours, okay? We want to see you snatch the record, you know? We’re so tense until we can’t swallow our lunch, but in the end, the only thing you can say is ‘I don’t know’?

Could you be even more of a tease?

When Liu Ping and the rest saw Tang Xiao Ming trying to crack her head open, they quickly rushed over, “What’s wrong? What did Deity Ye say?”

Tang Xiaomin looked up at the people surrounding her desk. She suddenly shrugged and held up her palms, “I don’t know either.”

Liu Ping and Co, “… …”

“Xiaomin, don’t worry. This is really important, as long as we have the name of whatever rare thing Deity Ye is making we still have time to research and put out the necessary information to attract even more audience.”

Feng Tianlai floated over like a spectre and made a meaningful ‘en’ sound. “That’s right, Xiaomin, just what is Deity Ye making today?”

Tang Xiaomin almost cried from the deluge of questions, “I really don’t know what, ah!”

Someone got hold of Tang Xiaomin’s computer and looked up her messages with Ye Fei, that person also sat down suddenly, stunned.

“Your mom, it’s really ‘I don’t know’, ah.”

“Aiyo, my holy ancestors, y-y-y-you…”

What the f*ck is going on with this broadcaster? It’s almost time to broadcast and they still don’t know what they really want to do, what kind of sh*t is this, ah.”

“It’s over, it’s all over, Deity Ye must have lost his mind, ba? The entire broadcasting platform is watching us now,”

“Then, what should we do? If he doesn’t know what to do, then how should we know what to do?”

“Supervisor…”

A group of people looked up at Feng Tianlai with pitiful eyes.

Feng Tianlai sighed, then he shrugged and held up his hands and shrugged, “Don’t look at me, I don’t know either.”

After that, he floated away.

Actually, Feng Tianlai’s heart was also saturated with gloomy curses, isn’t this too random? Is Ye Fei just a one-trick pony? If that’s the case then, he will probably lose his head along with his face.

The backstage people continued to look at each other, none of them knew what to say.

“Do you… Do you think that Deity Ye just didn’t want to expose his broadcast content before going live? Maybe he just wants to give us all a surprise.” Liu Ping said with a bitter smile.

Tang Xiaomin said, “Let’s just assume it’s that, ba, otherwise nobody from Fine Food Section would ever be able to raise our head anymore.”

“Oh right, it’s almost lunchtime. Does anyone want lunch? I’ll order take out.” One of the statisticians said.

The entire group of people shook their heads, none of them have any appetite. Right now, Ye Fei was the pillar holding up everyone’s energy, everyone was counting on him. In the end, if he doesn’t know what to do, then it certainly looked like their pillar was about to collapse, bringing down everyone’s mood to the point that no one was interested in eating.

Since no one has the appetite to eat, the statistician who had suggested ordering takeout also sat down morosely.

“Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance has already reached HX¥50,000. Those bastards, did they inject chicken blood into their broadcasters or something?” Liu Ping was looking at the company’s summary of the day’s statistics, his teeth hurt even as he updated them on this information.

Tang Xiaomin relied with a little ‘en’, “Torrential Rivermouth has also reached HX¥49,000, both are strong.”

“That’s right, when will such a person appear within the Fine Food section, ah.”

“We all thought that Ye Fei is our hope, but now…”

“Why is it so quiet at Iron Stomach’s channel?”

“Don’t you know? An announcement just went up, he said he’s going to wait until 12:10 pm before starting. He wants to challenge Ye Fei directly.”

“So, this Iron Stomach wants to step on Ye Fei, ah.”

“That’s right, he’s a veteran great deity after all. His challenge today is the meter wide super pizza. With those two broadcasts happening at the same time, I think Ye Fei would be very miserable.”

“Please don’t talk about Ye Fei anymore, just saying his name made me miserable. There has never been anyone so unreliable, to not know what he’s going to do at the last minute. If he didn’t know what to do, just what kind of shitty broadcast is it going to be, ah.”

“From now on, our Fine Food Section’s shame will reach all the way to our ancestors. We’re flying so high yesterday, but today…”

“That Ye Fei, he’s just a fake, he’s going to pull down the rest of the Fine Food Section.”

Just as everyone was busy complaining, a sudden alarm rang through the room.

Liu Ping immediately took out his phone and smiled bitterly at the rest of the people around him. “To not miss Ye Fei’s live broadcast, I’ve set an alarm for 12:10 pm. It is time.”
