Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 326 - 325: Competing in the Same Arena

After her training session, Jiang Qiuqiu returned home drenched in sweat. She took a shower, but she was still mentally exhausted. However, it wasn’t time to rest yet.

The second PK match was tomorrow.

Jiang Qiuqiu had to prepare the menu today.

For the two PK matches, it would be best to prepare two different dishes.

Her gaze slid over the square pictures from the Agricultural College. Flour appeared in several of them. ’Looks like wheat was recently harvested on some planet?’

Inspiration struck.

「The next morning」, she received her delivery from Taotao Fresh and rushed over to Mo Si’s place for another spiritual power training session. At noon, the temperature was a bit low, so she turned on the heat and took a short nap while wearing her spiritual power recovery helmet.

「In the blink of an eye, it was five in the afternoon.」 The PK was about to start. After tidying up the kitchen, she stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and watched the snow for a while.

At 6:58, she walked up to the camera bot and started her stream. Jiang Qiuqiu’s channel instantly lit up, and countless eager foodies flooded in.

Jiang Qiuqiu smiled and greeted everyone. "Welcome to my cooking stream! I’m Jiang Jiujiu. Today is the second match of the second round in the annual PK, and we’ll be seeing a new competition format~ I hope you’ll all continue to support me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a connection window appeared at the top of her stream. Before anyone could ask what the new format was, their screens abruptly split in two. Jiang Qiuqiu was on the left, and an unfamiliar face appeared on the right.

Then, an explanation of the simultaneous PK automatically popped up in the top-right corner of the screen. The key to victory was even more direct than before: it was a competition for "victory votes" cast by online fans. Whoever got more votes would win.

However, not just anyone could cast these votes. To vote for a winner in the competition between streamer A and streamer B, you had to claim the dishes presented by both streamers. You didn’t have to eat them, but you had to claim them.

This was probably some capitalist scheme. Cooking wasn’t like other categories; it all depended on skill. To support their favorite streamer, fans now had to watch the opponent’s stream as well. This not only helped select the best of the best but also created an overlap in the streamers’ fanbases—

Broadening the fans’ tastes meant they would definitely spend more money in the future.

Of course, no one could have predicted what would happen later.

Right now, when the fans on both sides saw this ridiculous rule, those who had been through it before were okay with it—they found it exasperating but acceptable. Those who hadn’t experienced it, however, found it completely unacceptable.

[What is this garbage? Do I really have to watch someone other than Juju’s stream today?]

[I just want to vote for my beloved Juju, but now I have to go cheat on her with someone else!?]

[I don’t wanna go—]

At this moment, very similar comments were scrolling across the screen in the stream of the other young female chef connected with Jiang Jiujiu.

[I just want to cast a vote, why do they make us jump through so many hoops!]

[I don’t want to watch this... whoever she is. You can tell she just gets by on her looks.]

It was a good thing only the aromas were shared between the streams. If the bullet comments could cross over, a fight would have definitely broken out.

The fans had pretty much all arrived, and her opponent was in place. Jiang Qiuqiu rolled up her sleeves and got started. "Alright everyone, no more arguing. It’s time to start making today’s dish."

"There will be two PK matches today, a first half and a second half. We’ll be using the same star ingredient for both—"

The camera bot followed her hand, panning smoothly as Jiang Qiuqiu dragged a large basin of flour into view.

Flour was an old friend to the viewers; they had seen something similar when she made steamed buns and cake.

[Is that the star ingredient for today? Are we making a sweet cake!?]

"No."

Jiang Qiuqiu said, "Today, we’re making a flatbread."

A crispy, savory, and fragrant scallion pancake.
