The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 292 - 290: Popcorn

Those nearby all breathed a sigh of relief and followed Ji Sisi onto her flying device, ready to leave.

“Xiao He, aren’t you leaving?”

Fu Yunhe was left alone on the mountaintop, shaking his head, he said, “I’ll stay with you.”

He waved to Ji Sisi and the others; Ji Sisi drove the flying device away, returning to the small wooden house first.

Fu Yunhe walked back to Nian Shutong’s flying device, boarded it first, and at the entrance, he even turned to ask, “Are you coming?”

“Let’s go!”

Nian Shutong, seeing Fu Yunhe already sitting at the co-pilot’s seat and fastening his safety belt, asked confusedly, “If you’re so scared, why not go back first?”

“Hm?” Fu Yunhe steadied himself on the seat handle, looking forward, his tone calm.

“I’m not scared, it’s a reverence for life.”

“Heh…”

At first, Nian Shutong chuckled softly, but the more she thought about it, the funnier it seemed, and she ended up laughing out loud.

“A reverence for life? No problem at all.”

After enough laughter, Nian Shutong started up the “Shadowless” flying device, and from the corner of her eye, she clearly saw the veins on Fu Yunhe’s gripping hand bulging.

“Relax, I’ll show you some beautiful scenery.”

This time, Nian Shutong steered quite smoothly, not performing any stunts.

A few minutes later, the two reached the summit of Blue Star.

Here was a world of ice.

And a world of light.

“This is called Jiguang.”

Nian Shutong learned this from Daodao and then relayed it to Fu Yunhe.

“Very beautiful.”

Fu Yunhe was no stranger to such Jiguang; he had seen all sorts of changing sceneries on the Insect Clan Battlefield.

However, he was willing to play along with Nian Shutong, knowing her good intentions of showing him the scenery.

After enjoying the view for a while, the two returned to the small wooden house in the “Shadowless.”

No matter how rich and vivid the scenery outside was, they still preferred this small wooden house.

After the two returned, unbothered, one went to rest, and the other to cultivate.

What the two didn’t know was just how lively the Star Network discussions about Little River Live were.

Star Network top trend number one: “The fifth largest interstellar broadcast has stopped after just one day of live streaming?”

Star Network top trend number two: “Has the now-famous Little River Live become too arrogant?”

Such trending topics would be odd without some push from behind.

And indeed, the Chi Family had a hand in it.

Although they hadn’t continued to ban Little River Live due to a relationship with the Royal Family, that didn’t mean they completely ignored it.

Even the Chi Family members, who felt they had lost face because of Little River Live, had an outright distaste for the broadcast.

Even though they had purchased a significant amount of the rice seeds from Little River Live and had already started planting them.

They were curious to see if their seeds would really be as remarkable as the video claimed.

The members of the Chi Family were confident; if the seeds could indeed achieve the state shown in the video, then they would keep seeds for themselves to cultivate.

As for Little River Live, how could it be a competitor to the Chi Family?

A live stream versus a family legacy spanning hundreds of years—it couldn’t compare.

Especially one that could only offer five hundred kilograms of seeds.

Little River Live’s exclusive shop only sold five hundred kilograms of rice seeds, and the seed shelf had never been updated after that.

Many were asking when seeds would be available, but the shop’s response was: “Seeds are limited and updated irregularly.”

Such a response made not only the Chi Family but also the public believe there were not enough seeds at Little River Live.

But in reality, the last thing Nian Shutong lacked was seeds.

Because the seeds were supplied by System Xiao Ba, and she was simply responsible for reselling them.

For Nian Shutong, this was the most worry-free, convenient way to make money.

However, she couldn’t reveal her full hand at once, opting instead to sell gradually and permeate slowly.

Especially after three months, when some would harvest.

By that time, the ones anxious would definitely be others.

Having others beg you to sell, versus selling actively, would definitely yield different results.

The seed merchant, Nian Shutong, was set on this path, but the tone had to be set by her.

The Star Network hot searches continued to ferment.

Many fans of Little River Live organically organized, continuously commenting and posting messages below.

“On Star Network, the other top four broadcasts only stream once a week, why don’t you criticize them?”

“Isn’t it obvious, someone’s behind this!”

“Really, which live streamer streams every day.”

“Mr. Xiao He even promised popcorn. Which other streamer can do that?”

“All these accounts here, not one looks familiar, quick question: what is your favorite dish from Mr. Xiao He?”

“No, no, no! Ask, what did Little River Live cook yesterday?”

The spontaneous support from fans thwarted the heated controversy that was intended to scale Little River Live up to something larger.

Instead, Mr. Xiao He’s promised popcorn giveaway sparked a bit of attention.

“You say, with several hundred million viewers watching the live stream, how will Mr. Xiao He deliver?”

“I don’t know, but I’m very curious.”

“I guess it’s a virtual giveaway; didn’t he do it once before?”

“Could it be another multi-million-dollar investment?”

“More than millions this time, there are even more viewers.”

“Such a lavish streamer.”

The discussions on Star Network grew increasingly numerous, and Fu Yunhe was busy solving this problem.

Because Nian Shutong intended to give away real popcorn, not just virtual data.

How to deliver popcorn to about a billion people?

Fu Yunhe, pulling together Rubble and contacting Yu Zeming, the three discussed for about fifteen minutes and reached an agreement, then went about their own tasks.

At the small wooden house, Rubble called over Ji Sisi, and with significant financial backing from Fu Yunhe, they purchased some equipment.

Rubble’s workshop was lit up all night.

The next morning, when Nian Shutong returned from cultivating, she only saw at the doorway of Rubble’s workshop, the Black Hole Shipment Device continuously operating; one box after another was tossed in by robots and disappeared.

What was going on?
