Today’s incident was really too unexpected and everyone was caught off guard.
In the first place, Ye Fei’s special Ten Thousand Mile Fragrance technique was already enough to cause a sensation. [1] Before anyone could fully recover from this, something even more unbelievable happened. Someone bestowed a spaceship to Ye Fei!
The mob stared at the spaceship still dominating Ye Fei’s broadcast screen. All of them were staring with wide eyes and wide opened mouths.
However, this lasted only a couple of seconds. In the next instance, chaos erupted.
“F me, ah. A spaceship? A spaceship actually flew out today?”
“God in Heaven, ah. After all this while, someone actually sent out a spaceship?”
“Aiyo, wei, are you kidding me? Why would anyone reward this bastard with something so expensive? A single spaceship costs HX¥30,000 you know?!”
“Insane, Ye Fei’s fans have gone insane. Aren’t they treating money like it’s not money anymore? It’s just a live cooking show, how did it get such as reaction, ah?!”
“I remember the last time someone gotten a spaceship was when our Storytelling Section’s [2] Flowing Lines. To be honest, Flowing Lines’ stand up was so excellent that day that someone actually rewarded him with a spaceship. I can still recall the day. The entire platform was buzzing for days because of it.”
“That’s right, ah. These kinds of super luxurious props are mostly there for show. We never expect anyone would be crazy enough to throw them at the broadcasters. With how much it costs, fans would more likely award three cruise ships instead of a single spaceship.”
“You’re right. I even hear that the higher ups were thinking of getting rid of the spaceships and aircraft carrier props.”
“But… but now, we are looking at an actual spaceship, ah. Someone actually awarded a spaceship. Do… do you think they’d still remove it?”
“Who knows, ah? We can only sit back and observe a little more.”
Silver Ranker Forum.
The bunch of Silver Star Broadcasters that had been shocked by Ye Fei was in even more of a muddle now.
“F*ck his sis, ah. A spaceship? How could this kind of shit come out, ah??”
“Can someone please tell me quickly that this isn’t real? Surely this is too over the top to be real? A spaceship cost HX¥30,000, in real money, ah!”
“What kind of live broadcast is this? That Ye Fei haven’t eaten a single bite of food yet, but cruise ships, planes and countless motorcycles and electric cars have already crossed the screen. This is already enough to drive people nuts, and now a whole spaceship descended on us. Oi, do you have to be so excessive?!”
“That’s right, ah. This is a live broadcast, you know? No matter how great Ye Fei is, the audience could only enjoy it with their eyes. How can his fans just keep throwing thousands of yuan at him like that?”
“Thousands? Try tens of thousands, okay? That’s one Grand Tyrant there. Just one of him is enough to kill off thousands of my little fans in seconds, ah.”
“M*therf*cker, why don’t I have a fan like this? Why??”
“Leaving the super big fish aside, I’m fine with a couple of those plane throwing fans, ah. Daddy dare not ask for too much.”
The mob of Silver Star Broadcasters nearly went stir-crazy.
The staff of the Fine Food Section were also dumbfounded. However, it did not take them long to roar with happiness.
“F*ck! A spaceship! Deity Ye received a spaceship!”
“My god, for reals?”
“An actual spaceship, ah. Heaven, ah. This is the first time this happen in two years, ah.”
“I haven’t been here long and never seen what a spaceship’s appearance look like. To think that it would be so shocking. Even the entire screen shook, it’s just too overwhelming.”
“Deity Ye is too, too, tooooo awesome. Suddenly, I felt like crying.”
“Me too. We really didn’t have it easy. We have been stuck at the bottom rung for so many years, ah. I really can’t the cold and mocking eyes of those colleagues from the other sections anymore. It is only after Deity Ye makes his appearance that I can finally hold my head high and stick up my chest in front of others. Deity Ye, thank you so much.”
“From now on, Daddy will always be Deity Ye’s most loyal fan. Number one!!!”
The entire shouted in unison, their voices bursting through doors and flying out the window and towards the sky.
They were excited. They were uplifted. They can release the burdens in their hearts with ease. The countless grievances and jabs they received from their fellow co-workers that had plagued them day and night was finally suppressed.
Today, right this moment. They knew. They knew that the all the different sections of the platform were paying close attention to them because Ye Fei. Because Ye Fei had elevated their section from a rotten, will never succeed section to a position higher than everyone else with just a single boost of his arm. They now stand well above everyone else’s heads.
The channel was also bombarded with line after line of comments. Once people got over their shock, they rushed to see who had made this incredible contribution.
Spaceship – [3] Heavenly Food Tyrant.
“F*ck, Heavenly Food Tyrant?”
“Bro! You’re too domineering, ah! So fierce!”
“I- I- I… I have a sudden desire to clean Tyrant Bro’s toilets.
“Pfft, Upstairs, ah. Do you have an addiction to toilets?”
“No, no, no… I… I, it’s because I am in the cleaning business.”
“Cleaning business? F*ck, for real, ah?”
“For real, I always make time for Deity Ye’s live broadcasts. Thanks to Deity Ye, my boring days of cleaning are suddenly full of colour. Each time I watched Deity Ye’s broadcasts, I feel like I could sweep eight whole street without stopping.”
“… …”
Everyone was speechless. Only now did they realise that Deity Ye’s fans truly came from all kinds of backgrounds. There are all kinds of people here.
Right then, Godly Tyrant 8-Treasure Cuisine appeared, “Tyrant Bro, I really did not expect you to be as domineering as your username. I, 8-Treasure Cuisine, salute you. I must say, Deity Ye’s performance is really outstanding today. Having just one spaceship out there is just too lonely. Let me accompany you!”
With that, 8-Treasure Cuisine clicked his mouse over the spaceship prop.
Everyone was shocked. Again.
Nobody really knew what to say as they watched the animation for the second spaceship happening in real time.
“Hahaha, today is certainly a very good day. Allow me to add to that! Deity Ye, please accept this gesture of respect!”
Another spaceship shook the screen!
All eyes went to the username and immediately recognised the name. I Am a Foodie!
This guy had always acted elegant or coquettish. Before dispensing his rewards, he would pre-empt them with a few witty words first. The things given by this fellow were not elegant or refined at all. The rewards he gave were all substantial, meaty things. Anyone who paid attention to this fellow would realise that he never sponsors anything less valuable than luxury planes.
Another low-key Godly Tyrant, ah!
Everyone was becoming really confused. They had started the day not thinking that Deity Ye’s 4 o’clock broadcast would attract viewers, much less rewards. They definitely did not expect the continuous stream of luxury items.
“Three is still a bit lacking. I shall join you guys too! Let us strive for [4] World Peace with all four oceans in balance!”
This time, the announcement was made over the microphone. Who else could it be but Ye Fei’s very first fan, Tasting Everything Under Heaven?
The moment this fellow was done speaking, yet another spaceship descended onto the screen.
Everyone, “… …”
Your mom, ah. You follow him, he follows you, what the heck? This isn’t rewarding anymore, this is like, like a continuous bursts of fireworks, ah.
This time, Ye Fei’s fans really exploded the entire QQ Platform, leaving a huge crater in the middle with their spaceships.
Right then, all other sections of the platform were completely silent. They did not even have the strength to mourn.
What could they say?
What else is there to say?
It had been over two years since the last spaceship was deployed. It had been so long ago that most people had almost forgotten that this extravagant item was even in the platform.
However, it was at this point that a broadcaster called Ye Fei suddenly received a donation of four spaceships, all within the same broadcast!
That’s a total of HX¥120,000, ah!
“This… this… this is probably one of the more insane broadcasts our platform had ever seen in the past two years.”
“F*ck, what ‘probably’? It’s certainly, ah!”
“I expect the management won’t be withdrawing the spaceship or aircraft carrier option, yeah?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Did you see how his fans just deployed four spaceships in one go? Big bro, ah! Back then, even when Great Deity [5] Golden Star broadcasted, things like this never happened.”
Over at the Silver Ranker Forum, the people there were even more silent. They were all busy rubbing their cheeks and twitching their mouths uncontrollably.
“I’m a m*therf*cking Silver Star Broadcaster, but I’m actually envious of a Bronze Star Broadcaster.”
“No comment +1”
“+2”
… …
Right then, Ye Fei was done plating the Braised Bull Pizzle with Broccoli & Wolfberry. He was carrying the plate to the laptop when he saw the four domineering things floating on his screen and his hand trembled. The full plate nearly falling to the floor.
Fortunately, 3Dragon was keeping a sharp eye on the plate and his [1] super athletic reflexes helped him save the plate. He carefully placed the plate onto the table before turning around to frantically reprimand Ye Fei.
“Deity Ye, don’t walk around in a daze, ah. This few hundred thousand yuan plate nearly fell to its doom, ah!”
Ye Fei blinked slowly, “I… I seem to have seen some spaceships flying across my screen just now.”
Hearing this, 3Dragon’s [1] athletic legs gave out and he plopped to the floor.
[Gumihou: Woah, a lot of people in a daze now]
[1] Some small adjustments to improve the text [2] 段川流 – Could be interpreted as ‘Paragraph River Flows’, ‘Paragraph Flows Like River’ but as a clever username ‘Flowing Lines’ seems more appropriate. [3] 食霸天 – Food Tyrant Sky, eh, let’s go with Heavenly Food Tyrant [4] 四海升平 – literally means ‘four oceans in balance’, a euphemism for ‘World Peace’ [5] 金星 – Venus or ‘Gold Star’, since we don’t know the gender and considering the likelihood of this person being someone from Song & Dance Section, let’s go with ‘Golden Star’
