Gan Lan and the robot worked together to pack a hundred portions of hot and sour noodles. Then, she sat back down to gnaw on a chicken leg and slurp noodles. This was her second bowl of hot and sour noodles; she had officially upgraded into a big eater!
After a whole roast chicken, the grilled vegetables, and a bowl of hot and sour noodles, she only felt about eighty percent full. She easily whipped up another bowl of noodles for herself. She wondered if she would turn into a giant fatty if she kept eating like this, but an occasional binge wouldn’t hurt, right?
With this thought, Gan Lan went back to slurping her noodles with peace of mind. At worst, she could just go for a run later.
Sanxian Porridge is So Fresh: [Sob sob sob, streamer, look at how many people are in the live stream right now! We could fight to the death and still not get one of the hundred and ten portions! How much luck does it take to win the draw?! Crying out loud over my terrible luck.]
Fiery Phoenix: [This Immortal Bird has arrived. One of those hundred and ten portions will definitely be mine! I’m just bursting with that much confidence! I’ll eat a roast chicken leg first to show off. So delicious~ Just thinking about being able to eat the real thing later puts me in a super good mood!]
Phoenix King Returns: [Oh? What does a weak bird like you amount to? Do you see this king? I am the true Phoenix, the strongest! I’ll definitely win again!]
What else can rice do: [Just to interject weakly, don’t you feel guilty eating your own kind? Without its feathers, a Phoenix doesn’t seem much different from a Zhenzhen Chicken~ Can you really bring yourselves to eat it?]
Sky Blue: [It’s not the same. How could a Phoenix be like a Zhenzhen Chicken? A Phoenix is bigger! Also, I will definitely be one of the lucky winners! Me! I am a handsome, free-spirited, cool, and smart genius manufacturer. System, keep your eyes peeled! If I don’t win, I will definitely report you!]
System Notification: [’Sky Blue’ has attempted to threaten this system and questioned its fairness. As punishment, ’Sky Blue’ is banned from participating in the lucky draw. We hope all viewers remain cautious and rational.]
Hot Pot Balls: [Hahahahaha, this idiot is cracking me up, hahahahaha.]
Lu Ziyu’s comment seemed to detonate the live stream’s funny bone, prompting the other viewers to burst into laughter as well. It was truly hilarious!
Sky Blue: [...? Based on what? Based on what? Based on what? BASED ON WHAT?!]
"Pfft." Gan Lan covered her mouth. "Sorry, I really couldn’t hold it in."
She mused over how hilarious Gao Haiyang was. He alone provided more than half the comedic relief in the live stream. He was a total clown...
"Dean, the finals don’t start for another ten days. Are we going to continue staying on Banan Star during this time? Or should we take Gan Lan over early to familiarize herself with the Red Demon Star?" Liang Cong asked Chu Yuanyi, who was flipping through documents while sitting on the sofa.
"Let’s set off for the Red Demon Star tomorrow. There’s no need to stay on Banan Star any longer. Every extra second I spend here annoys me. I never want to come back for the rest of my life. It’s sickening." Chu Yuanyi closed the documents. "However, by coming here this time, we’ve crushed most of Banan Star’s prestige on their home turf. Most of the frustration I’ve been holding in for years has dissipated."
Liang Cong also started laughing. "Who says otherwise? This competition was incredibly fierce, and our Mingzong narrowly won! Although it was a narrow victory, we won beautifully!"
"Tomorrow night, the organizers will hold a banquet. As the number one among the top hundred, Gan Lan certainly cannot be absent. Go notify her tomorrow to prepare herself well. After attending, we will head straight to the Red Demon Star. If it weren’t a strict rule, I’d really just want to take Gan Lan and leave immediately, but it wouldn’t be appropriate to completely burn our bridges right now." Chu Yuanyi sighed, pinching his somewhat tired temples.
DING DONG.
"You have a package. Please step out to sign for it."
Liang Cong was just about to reply when he was interrupted by the sudden delivery notification. He hastily stopped Chu Yuanyi, who was about to get up to open the door.
"I’ll get it," Liang Cong said. "Who else would send a package here besides Gan Lan? There’s more delicious food to eat. I wonder what it will be today."
Chu Yuanyi watched Liang Cong, whose back alone revealed his delight as he walked with brisk, light steps. He shook his head in amusement. Mr. Liang, who was usually steady and reserved, had become much more lively recently.
"Ten portions of apple honey roast chicken and one hundred portions of hot and sour noodles have been packed up. The lucky draw will start in three minutes. Those who need to wash their hands, go wash them; those who need to burn incense, go burn it. Time is running out!" Gan Lan teased the viewers in the live stream, her eyes full of smiles.
I Have It Too Hard: [Streamer, you’ve changed. You’ve really changed. You used to comfort and encourage us, telling us that if we didn’t win this time, there would be another chance. You’re no longer the gentle, considerate, and understanding person you used to be. You’ve gone bad, sob sob~]
Roast Meat Bibimbap: [Who said my goddess went bad? She’s clearly more gentle, considerate, and understanding than before, okay? She used to start the lucky draw immediately, but now she’s leaving us three minutes to wash our hands and burn incense. What a wonderful person~]
Binbin: [Kissing up to our junior doesn’t work. Now you have to praise the system. System, you are truly a handsome, suave, and elegant hunk. You are the most dazzling presence in the entire live stream, so what do you think of me?]
System Notification: [Sorry, but this system is a cute girl~ Aren’t the most dazzling things in the live stream the apple honey roast chicken and the hot and sour noodles? Of course, the absolute most dazzling one is Goddess Lan ^^]
Moonlit Grace: [See that? Now that’s what you call kissing up! You all need to learn a thing or two from a gentle and cute girl like the system. Look, our junior’s face is blooming with smiles!]
Gan Lan was indeed smiling brightly. It was mainly because the viewers and the system were just too cute. Since when had the live stream’s system become so active? It always used to be entirely serious.
"Alright, the three minutes are up. Let’s start the draw. I wish you all good luck~" Gan Lan waved her hand grandly and announced the start of the lucky draw.
System Notification: [Congratulations to Dancing on the Tip of the Tongue, Hearing Wind Means Rain, Midnight Dream Return, Handsome Mingyu... and the rest of the hundred and ten lucky viewers for winning a portion of exquisite gourmet food gifted by the streamer. Please privately message the streamer your addresses. Prizes will be distributed immediately~]
Handsome Mingyu: [I knew I was truly that handsome, suave, and elegant boy~ System, you have a great eye. I can consider having a deep soul exchange with you~]
System: [No need. This system thinks you’re beneath her! Stop flattering yourself~]
Sky Blue: [Hahahahaha, yes, yes, yes. System, I forgive you. Even though I was banned from participating in the lucky draw, what you said was very spot on. Some people just love to flatter themselves~ Simply put, they don’t even have the most basic self-awareness.]
Hot Pot Balls: [Agreed. System, you really are a kind, cute, pure, innocent, and lively system. But I want to ask, why has your style suddenly changed so drastically?]
