Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy-Chapter 66: Eating Fur and Drinking Blood?

The Federation Live Broadcast Company was the Federation’s largest live-streaming conglomerate, boasting billions of users. The traffic from a homepage feature was difficult to quantify.

If people clicked on it, a stream could get over a billion views in just an hour.

If no one clicked, it would just sit there, a mere decoration.

Food streams were relatively popular in the Federation, but the genre was extremely polarized. Streamers who made delicious food could rack up billions of fans, while those at the bottom sank straight into the gutter, sometimes starting a stream to an audience of zero.

After all—

For a food stream, not tasting good was the cardinal sin.

In the Federation, people who could make truly delicious food were few and far between.

That was why the Federation Live Broadcast Company rarely featured food streams on its homepage. The popular ones were already packed with viewers without needing a feature, and featuring the unpopular ones everywhere would only make the company a laughingstock.

And yet, today, the homepage featured one.

And it was a newcomer with only four stars, no less.

This was truly a first.

Jiang Qiuqiu’s stream was packed to the brim.

The bullet comments were also a chaotic mess. Normally, in her own little corner of the internet, the viewers were all returning fans. Even if they hadn’t tasted her food, they had smelled its aroma and were in awe of Jiang Jiujiu’s culinary skills.

But the people flooding in today were mostly passersby from the Food section.

#??? Since when can a four-star streamer get on the homepage? A four-star who doesn’t even show their face???#

#Whoa, did we just find someone with Federation connections?#

#Look at this title, Gugu Beast Culinary Special? Are they here to study Gugu Beasts? Is this the official channel for the Dark Cuisine Gazette?#

An overwhelming number of new viewers announced their arrival with that three-part inquisition.

Others were curious. #What are they making? The streamer sounds so young.#

#The listed menu item seems to be Mala Blood Curd? "Mala"? What kind of flavor is that... And what in the world is "blood curd" anyway?#

The viewer count easily broke ten million and was heading toward twenty million.

Behind the screen, Meimei was a little worried that Jiang Qiuqiu wouldn’t be able to handle this kind of situation, but her reaction soon proved Meimei’s fears were baseless.

The young woman’s voice was sweet but remained perfectly steady. Just as Meimei was thinking they could probably ride this out...

She spoke again, "The dish I’m making today is Mala Blood Curd. The main ingredient is sourced from the blood of a Gugu Beast."

’Gugu Beast blood!?’ Meimei’s mind went blank. ’This ingredient is way too controversial.’

Sure enough, the moment they heard "blood," the crowd immediately began to clamor.

#??? What am I seeing? How many years has it been since we left the era of eating raw meat and drinking blood? And someone is still making a dish with blood?#

#What kind of ingredient is this???#

#Can’t accept this. What is this crap? Is she doing this for shock value just to get on the homepage?#

Passersby always spoke their minds freely. One after another, they left negative reviews and jeered, accusing Jiang Qiuqiu of pulling a stunt to get attention.

Even the old fans of the channel felt their hearts sink. ’Blood as an ingredient? Is she going to make a drink?’

’Using that as an ingredient is terrifying! What if she messes up?!’

But before the old fans could even post their questions, a bunch of newbies from who-knows-where started spewing vitriol.

The old fans: ???

’What was that saying again? I can criticize my own streamer, but who the hell are you passersby to do it!!’

The two sides quickly squared off.

Newbies: Trash streamer doesn’t deserve to be a food streamer.

Old Fans: Then don’t you dare fight for a tasting spot later.

Newbies: Trying to get attention with this primitive blood-drinking crap.

Old Fans: Go on, keep running your mouth. Let’s see you not fight for a tasting spot later.

Newbies: Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What skill could a measly four-star streamer possibly have!?

Old Fans: ?? No skill? After she’s done cooking, you’ll be on your knees licking the plate clean!

Newbies: Pfft, a bunch of simps.

Old Fans: Don’t you dare leave! Let’s see you have the guts to not fight for a tasting spot later!

#I won’t fight for it, so what? Who cares.#

#Fine by me. Who cares about trying it anyway?#

#The simps are unstoppable. Just a bunch of paid posters.#

#I’ve memorized your ID. Don’t you dare fight for a spot. Not now, not ever.#

...

As everyone argued heatedly, Jiang Jiujiu tuned it all out and began her first step.

Processing the blood.
