Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 251: You Will Compete Against the Top of Each Category

After the hard-fought battle, Jiang Qiuqiu had clearly come out on top.

She hadn’t even made a personal appearance, yet with a deft touch, she’d managed to neutralize the entire situation.

Meimei had more and more confidence in Jiang Qiuqiu. "You’re number one on the charts right now, and we’ve already assessed you as the top streamer in the Food category."

At this rate, it was only a matter of time before Jiang Qiuqiu took first place in the Food category.

"Now, for the next step, the editorial department’s plan is for you to face off against the top streamers from other categories."

Now that was going to be a challenge.

Although the Food category had a respectable audience base on the Federation’s streaming platform, the largest by far was the Mecha category.

Then there was the Shoutcasting category. While slightly less popular than the Mecha category, its total followers still numbered in the billions.

After all, the annual league held by the military was just that epic.

Meimei showed Jiang Qiuqiu some charts detailing the fanbases of top streamers from other categories. "It’s going to be tough competing against these veteran streamers. Little President Qian and I will support your push for first place, but you need to keep a level head—"

"I know, don’t worry." Jiang Qiuqiu’s tone was light and cheerful. "I’ll give it my all to get first place, but I won’t let this competition get me down. I know what I’m doing."

"That’s good. You’re still young, after all." ’Just a young girl,’ Meimei thought with a smile. "Also, to help drive some traffic your way, the editorial department has set you up with a special feature stream on the homepage."

"It’s in three days."

A spot for a special feature stream was incredibly hard to come by. Meimei didn’t go into detail about what it took to secure it, but Jiang Qiuqiu had been in the business long enough to have some idea of how the recommendation system worked.

A thousand words of gratitude could be condensed into a single sentence: "I won’t let you or Little President Qian down."

"Of course. We all believe in you. Ever since you signed with us, you haven’t disappointed a single person in the editorial department."

The next day, Jiang Qiuqiu went to share her good news with Mo Chengyu.

Miss Mo patted her on the shoulder. "Excellent, excellent. Our Qiuqiu is getting more and more impressive."

Jiang Qiuqiu had just started to smile when she saw Zuo Kai and the Right Protector moving things. She looked at Mo Chengyu in surprise. "Sister Chengyu, you’re going to work today?"

"I was. I was actually about to go to your place to tell you, but I didn’t expect you’d come looking for me first." Mo Chengyu was wearing a long, khaki-colored coat today. She reached out and stroked Jiang Qiuqiu’s head. "I just got an urgent dispatch. I have to head back immediately."

"Even though I won’t be living next door anymore, I’ll log on to the Star Network every day to watch you. Our Qiuqiu is going to be number one, for sure!"

By the time she and Mo Chengyu had finished chatting, everything was already packed up.

As she was leaving, Mo Chengyu looked at Jiang Qiuqiu standing by the villa entrance. The moment before she boarded the mecha, with lightning speed, she wrapped an arm around Jiang Qiuqiu’s shoulders and planted a kiss on her cheek. Then, as Jiang Qiuqiu stared in astonishment, she strode briskly up into the mecha.

"Qiuqiu, see you next time!! If you miss me, make sure to call!"

"Black Hole will be back in a few days!"

The mechas were incredibly fast. The words had barely faded when they shrank to tiny dots and vanished from Jiang Qiuqiu’s sight.

...

That evening, Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t cook a savory meal. Instead, she chose to make a dessert: Rock Sugar and Pear Soup.

Today was a day for parting.

Far away on Thirteen Stars, Mo Si, who had rushed over for a military conference, caught the stream during a break and frowned.

Mo Chengyu had sent him a message earlier that day. She’d said something urgent had come up at the military research institute, and Director Zhang had summoned her back. With her gone, Starry Sky Wander was empty, meaning Jiang Qiuqiu would probably be living there all by herself. Mo Chengyu had told him to hurry back as soon as he could.

’Damn it,’ he thought. ’How could he possibly find the time now?’
