Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 343 - 342: There Must Be Foul Play

The chat was already filled with people saying that a child shouldn’t eat spicy food and that she needed to drink more soup!!!

But now they were at the table, and Wang Henli, just like Jiang Qiuqiu, seemed completely engrossed in tasting his own creation, utterly oblivious to the messages.

In that moment, his mind was filled with spectacular fantasies—

’He tasted his own dish; his performance today was even better than usual.’

’Fifteen minutes later, both sides’ tasting channels would close, and then the voting would begin—’

’The chat in his stream would be flying by, with every single comment praising how delicious it was. Everyone would be singing his praises, and he’d definitely get more winning votes than the stream next door.’

’Maybe that Jiang Qiuqiu wasn’t as amazing as he’d imagined. Maybe she was just exceptionally good at one particular dish. Or maybe she had a higher-level recipe than he did?’

’If he won this match! If he beat this pretty-faced newcomer, Qian Song would definitely continue to support him.’

’Even though Qian Song was just an illegitimate son, he was still a member of the Qian Family... Perhaps he could tell Qian Song that this woman had a recipe. The woman herself was one of Young Master Qian’s people. Qian Song would surely be willing to spend any amount of money to poach her.’

’Then he would have two recipes in his hands—’

’And become the true king of the Food section.’

’With his status further solidified, he could make some demands of Qian Song, improve his own contract, and establish his own work team...’

’If Qian Song didn’t agree, he could just switch his allegiance to Young Master Qian. He would be number one; there was no way the young master would refuse him.’

’Once he was over there, maybe he could even have more contact with her.’

’After all...’

’Maybe...’

Countless fantasies flashed through his mind, and Wang Henli grew increasingly excited.

Just then, the livestream equipment let out a BEEP. Wang Henli was very familiar with this sound; it was the notification the stream room made after the tasting sample platforms for both PK streamers had closed.

This also signaled that the voting was about to begin!

He immediately pulled up the stream’s interface, setting Wang Tuantuan aside.

For the first fifteen seconds after the voting started, the vote counts for both sides grew at a similar rate. This was because the Federation Live Broadcast Company, in order to make the voting process more entertaining, didn’t display the exact real-time vote count. Instead, it used a readout-style system where the numbers increased in increments of ten thousand.

As long as both sides had enough initial votes, the rate of increase appeared to be about the same.

But once a turning point was reached, the gap would widen in an instant.

For instance, at this moment, fifteen seconds in.

’The growth rate has obviously slowed. It just passed forty million... why did it suddenly get so slow?’

Wang Henli’s expression froze as he stared at the stream.

In stark contrast to his vote count was Jiang Qiuqiu’s.

In the blink of an eye, she had already broken 150 million, and the count showed no signs of stopping. A glance to the side showed that in Jiang Qiuqiu’s stream, her fans were already starting to celebrate her victory.

...How is this possible!?

’Her stream data just now was clearly so bad!?!’

’There was hardly anyone in her chat saying it was delicious!’

’This must be rigged!’

The winner had been decided.

The crown for first place was already on her head. The combined viewership for both streams was about 1.5 billion people. Not everyone would participate in the vote, but assuming a 50% participation rate, the number of voters was between 700 and 800 million. Five hundred million of them had already cast their winning votes for Jiang Qiuqiu.

The only reason an official announcement hadn’t been made was that not everyone eligible to vote had cast their ballot yet, and time hadn’t run out. Once the timer ended, everything would be set in stone.

At this moment, Jiang Qiuqiu had no idea that the most dazzling event of the night wasn’t her food PK against Wang Henli for first place.

It was—
