Chapter 244: It’s My Honor to Relieve Your Worries, Miss
One piece wasn’t enough, so she took another. Finally, Jiang Qiuqiu gave her enthusiastic recommendation, "Curious fans should really give it a try. It won’t disappoint you."
Instantly sold out.
[I don’t care what I think, I only care what you think! And if you think it’s good, then it must be the best!!]
"Alright, that’s all for today’s stream! I hope every skewer you managed to grab is just the one you were hoping for!"
"We’re off to eat, so see you all next time~"
Before ending the stream, Jiang Qiuqiu glanced at the tip counter in the top-left corner.
Throughout the entire stream, no one had mentioned anything about tipping or boosting her ranking. Yet, from the moment she went live, the tipping icon in that same corner had never stopped flashing.
Those with money to spare contributed their Star Coins.
And those with tighter budgets contributed their free clicks.
’It’s a truly moving feeling, to be supported so silently.’

Meanwhile, Mei Lin was once again commanding her household staff to wait on her hand and foot.
The last time Jiang Qiuqiu announced she’d be releasing a massive quantity of items, it was on short notice, so she wasn’t prepared.
But for this second time, she had prepared well in advance.
The elderly housekeeper, the old butler, the old gardener, the old maid—all the senior staff—and even Jiang Jiang, the young, able-bodied worker whose hands trembled slightly, had been assigned their tasks with perfect clarity.
"You, get this one, that one, and this one."
"You get this one, and this one—"
’Coincidentally, today’s special was skewers. There were so many different kinds, but she had plenty of people ready. They could get a taste of every single one!’
Using so many people to snag the items took up quite a few slots, but after casually tossing a million Star Coins into the tip jar in the top-left corner, Mei Lin’s conscience was clear.
She waited happily for the buying frenzy to begin.
Sure enough, since many of the vegetable skewers were less popular options, there were plenty of slots available right at the start. Today, her household’s elderly strike force all successfully snagged their items.
Mei Lin herself even managed to snag quite a few meat skewers.
Today was destined to be a bountiful harvest.
"Everyone did an excellent job today!"
The elderly servants had no idea what was going on, but seeing Mei Lin so happy, they cheerfully applauded as well.
’Now, all I have to do is connect to the terminal and I can eat and eat and eat!’
However, for the terminal link to work, the two parties couldn’t be too far apart. The old butler had just projected a plate of skewers he’d snagged onto the table. A rich aroma filled the air, and everyone unconsciously got a hungry look on their face.
Mei Lin wore the same expression. But just as she picked up her chopsticks to eat, she glanced over and saw that every single one of them had projected their haul onto the table.
They were all looking at her and at the food on the table.
There seemed to be a look of longing in all of their eyes.
Mei Lin suddenly put down her chopsticks. "Forget it! I’ve lost my appetite. All of you, take it and eat it yourselves!"
...
And just like that, the area around the square table was empty.
Mei Lin projected her own haul and frowned. "Why can a person only be bound to one terminal?"
"Is there anything money can’t solve? Just let me bind ten terminals and I’ll do all the buying myself."
’That way, it wouldn’t feel so weird eating things other people snagged for me.’
"Miss, terminals are tied to personal security. If you bind too many, it becomes difficult to get a location fix."
"...You think I don’t know that? I don’t need you to explain it to me!" Mei Lin huffed. "You! Hurry up and project what you got!"
"I’m eating yours!"
Jiang Jiang projected the skewers he had managed to get. Without hesitation, Mei Lin took three of them and pushed the remaining three back toward him.
"I really wanted these three, but I didn’t manage to get them."
"I’m not taking them for free. I’ll give you a bonus of thirty thousand Star Coins for these three. You eat the rest." ’He should at least get a taste. Taking all of them would just feel... a little wrong.’
"There’s no need for Star Coins." Jiang Jiang picked up a skewer, dipped it in sauce, and took a bite. "Easing your burdens is my honor, Miss."
