The Fine Food Broadcaster

After Chimp read the message, he looked at Devourer of Rivers & Peaks who had eaten until his stomach had bloated to a curve. He opened his mouth but closed it again without saying anything. He did not know what to say.

Seeing Chimp’s hesitation, he asked, “What happened?”

Without saying a word, Chimp held out his phone to Devourer of Rivers & Peaks.

Devourer of Rivers & Peaks took the phone and, after reading the message, jumped out of his chair, “F*ck me! How can this be? My… my 20,000 only gets 4th place? The f*ck is going on, ah?”

This kind of thing is unbelievable. 120% unbelievable! After all, it’s the Fine Food Section, ah. A deserted patch of land on a desert island. Don’t mention HX¥20,000, sometimes even those with just HX¥10,000 could enter the Top 5.

Today, he managed to break into the 20,000 limit, but was still pushed down to 4th place, can he be more miserable?

Chimp quickly reminded him, “Devourer, calm down, what I want you to see is not the message itself. Look who sent it to us.” 

At Chimp’s reminder, Devourer of River’s & Peaks quickly read the message again. This time, he noticed that the message was sent to Chimp by a statistician he had met at QQ Broadcasting Platform.

The message read: Devourer, your performance today is not bad. Congratulations on breaking past the 20,000 limit. Unfortunately, you did not make it to the Top 3. The Fine Food Section was really lively today. A rookie called Ye Fei appeared suddenly and in a very short 2 hours’ time, managed to make HX¥32,000, surpassing Great Deity Unstoppable Gastronout and obtaining the 1st place position. Unstoppable Gastronout made it to 2nd place with a total of HX¥29,306 and Greedy Cat at 3rd place with over HX¥27,000.

The more he read, the more depressed Devourer of Rivers & Peaks became. Even with over HX¥29,000, Unstoppable Gastronout only made 2nd place? Little Greedy Cat’s HX¥27,000 only came 3rd? What kind of m*therf*cking joke is this? Just when did Fine Food Section become so lively?

As for this rookie Ye Fei, did he receive a shot of chicken blood [1]? Just how did he make HX¥32,000 in just 2 hours? Surely this is fake news?

Devourer of Rivers & Peaks nearly went crazy at the mere thought of this person. Here he was, exhausting himself nearly to death by pigging on all this food for fame and had finally reached Bronze Star Rank 1 level, but before he could properly enjoy his achievement, some Grade 1 Iron Star rookie breezed in and kicked him off the top 3 position. Do you have to be so mean, ah?

After calming himself down a bit, Devourer of Rivers & Peaks managed to say, “Chimp, there must be something wrong. The replay video should be up by now, let’s have a look at how this bastard did it. I seriously think he must have faked something. The rewards must be fake too.”

Chimp wasted no time working on his laptop and looked up the QQ reruns section and quickly found Ye Fei’s broadcast. Both of them settled down to study it.

At this moment, Ye Fei who had logged out of his PP Account suddenly heard repeated chiming from his notification icon. It was an add friend request.

He stared at the chiming for a long moment, a little puzzled. As a poor soft-shelled turtle, very few people would take the initiative to associate with him, let alone add his number. Most of the people who would bother to add him were all classmates or co-workers.

“I wonder which co-worker is this,” thought Ye Fei as he clicked on the chiming icon.

“Good day, is this Ye Fei? This is Liu Ping, a statistician for QQ Broadcasting. Can I add you as friend?”

“Great Deity Ye Fei, is that you? This is He Can, a statistician for QQ Broadcasting, FF Section. Let’s be friends?”

“O, Great Deity Ye Fei. I am Tang Xiaomin of QQ Live Platform. I am a great beauty, you know~ So, let me through~”

“Is this Great Deity Ye Fei? I am Feng Tianlai, the Supervisor of the Fine Food Section for the QQ Broadcasting. I’m very glad to meet you.”

“Good day, I am…”

Seeing the endless lines of friend requests, Ye Fei was stupefied. What craziness is this? Why are they QQ Broadcasting people? Furthermore, they’re all from the Fine Food Section.

Anyway, no matter what, these people belonged to Fine Food Section he’s working on. Let’s connect!

Thus, Ye Fei quickly accepted all the friend requests and they all became his PP Friends.

Immediately after being added, an icon showing a female face popped up with the following message, “Great Deity Ye Fei, is it really you? This is Tang Xiaomin. Wow, you’re too amazing, I like you~”

Ye Fei rubbed his cheeks, sent out a cute emoji, and typed, “Beauty, have you gotten the wrong guy? Today is my first time broadcasting, how can I be a great deity? Also, a lot of your colleagues just sent me friend requests. Does your company have a glitch in your system?”

Tang Xiaomin sent a LOL emoji and said, “Looks like a lot of people have the same thought as me. Great Deity Ye Fei, you are an instant hit, ah. Right now, it’s like God has sent you to the Fine Food Section. In less than two hours, you managed to earn more than HX¥30,000 reward. You’ve even beaten our veteran, a Silver Star Rank 1 Unstoppable Gastronaut. It’s been crazy, ah.”

By now, Ye Fei realised that Tang Xiaomin had not contacted the wrong person. He did rake in over HX¥30,000 just now.

“Heheh, it was a fluke. It’s just a fluke, ah. I didn’t know that making money in broadcasting would be so easy.”

On the other side of the monitor, Tang Xiaomin nearly fainted over this comment. While it’s true that broadcasting could be very profitable, our Fine Food Section had always been the exception, ah. In fact, some of our members even lose money, you know?

For the sake of becoming famous, some broadcasters would invest in expensive cameras, lights and other pricey equipment. Moreover, 30% of what they earn goes to the broadcasting network so some of them even lost their original capital.

This Ye Fei is really amazing. To dare say that making money is easy through broadcasting, the confidence level of a great deity is truly different.

“Making money is definitely not an issue for Great Deity Ye Fei~”

Ye Fei muttered to himself, “What do you mean no issue? Daddy has to hurry up and make a million yuans to access the next level, ah. Also, daddy is now on the verge of starving to death. My entire fortune probably did not even amount to HX¥300… Wait, don’t I have this HX¥32,000 reward? Even after deduction, I could still get HX¥22,000, right? Can I withdraw that right away?”

The thought of getting his hands on over HX¥20,000 made Ye Fei a little excited. He quickly typed, “My share for the broadcast just now is around HX¥22,000, right? Can I withdraw it now?”

Tang Xiaomin’s side, “… …”

Curiosity surged in her heart: Didn’t you say that making money is no issue? Moreover, didn’t you just throw a super expensive hyper rare Rose Oil to cook potatoes? Why are you after a mere 20,000??

However, since the Great Deity asked her, she felt obliged to answer. The supervisor had already cautioned her not to offend this great deity.

“Great Deity Ye, our platform is very user friendly. You may put in a request as you like. However, money related issue is under the Finance Department and I have no influence over them.”

Ye Fei made a noise of agreement, and asked, “How do I contact your Finance Department?”

Ting Xiaomin sent out a helpless shrug emoji, “Only our Supervisor knows, please wait, I shall speak with Supervisor Feng now.”

Ye Fei sent out some question marks, “Supervisor Feng? Is that Feng Tianlai?”

Ting Xiaomin sent a shocked face emoji, “How did you know?!”

Ye Fei made a he-he laugh, “We just became PP friends, I’ll speak to him about this, ba.””

Ting Xiaomin, “… …”
