‘Just as childish as Huo Yan?’
“What!? Teacher Fish Soup Noodles has already left!”
Meanwhile, on the other side, Kechard, who had finally finished socializing with another group of officials, rushed over to find the banquet hall completely empty and instantly let out a cry of despair.
By the cosmos above, the only reason he had agreed to attend this event was to meet Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, whom he had narrowly missed at the premiere last time.
Who would have thought that instead of meeting him, he’d been stuck socializing the whole time while everyone else got autographs!?
For the outside world, when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs routinely published this document on the government website, few people initially clicked on the list for “Honorary Titles of Interstellar Exchange Ambassadors”.
It wasn’t until a fan of Ernis spotted their idol’s name in the news article and dug up the attached file that things started to gain attention.
[Fuck! Our Xiao Ernis is amazing! He actually received an official honorary title!]
Feeling as if they’d discovered a new continent, the fan shared the attachment, and soon, countless netizens turned their focus to the list.
Most of the names were completely unfamiliar. Unless they were public figures like Ernis, who appeared frequently in the entertainment industry, the majority were professionals or leaders from various fields.
However, everything changed when someone noticed the name under the most influential interstellar author, “A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles”.
[Fuck, OP, why is Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ name on this attachment!?]
[Teacher Fish Soup Noodles!? Fuck, when did Teacher Fish Soup Noodles sneak off to attend an official event behind our backs? How is this not worth a live broadcast on the morning news???]
[What!? Teacher Fish Soup Noodles was at this event too!? Then that means Xiao Ernis must have met him!? And this guy didn’t even leak a single word!? You brat, you eat alone! (Pointing furiously)]
As soon as “A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles” was spotted on the guest list, the thread exploded, and countless Fish fans who heard the news rushed in, repeatedly checking the list with wide eyes.
It was absolutely true…this “Most Influential Interstellar Author” was their very own Teacher Fish Soup Noodles.
Our Teacher Fish Soup Noodles had received an honorary title, how come we Fish fans knew nothing about it!?
[A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles V: I did attend the event a few days ago and even brought back a small prize =w=. Keeping it low-key, after all, I wasn’t the main focus of the event. There are many more outstanding workers all over the interstellar space making silent contributions. [Photo]]
Yu Mian wasn’t particularly surprised that his honorary title had been discovered, it was only a matter of time.
However, the event’s guests and staff had indeed been highly professional, as nothing had been leaked beforehand.
The photo Yu Mian posted showed the medal and a small bouquet of flowers he had received at the event.
Soon after the post became popular, the official account of Huanyu Reading also reposted it, as a way to promote the recent outer star sales results of their own author’s work “Reborn”.
[Wow, the medal is so beautiful! And the hand holding the medal is also so beautiful, hehe. Does Teacher Fish Soup Noodles really have that many fans in the outer star systems!?]
[Of course! Huanyu is always announcing new copyright sales to other star systems. Even the actors from “Contract Marriage” and “Eternal Night Rose” have a huge fan base all over the interstellar space, it’s real.]
[Wuuu, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles attended an event and didn’t tell us. Were you planning to never mention it if we hadn’t found out!?]
Fish fans were naturally thrilled and proud of their author receiving an honorary title, but they couldn’t help pouting over Yu Mian’s overly low-key approach.
[A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles V: Well, I was keeping it low-profile. After all, the protagonist of the event that day was someone else, and the nature of the occasion was indeed different. But I did meet Xiao Ernis, he’s very cute. @Ernis. You’ve all seen the medal, now I’m off to write again. I still have several manuscripts to revise for publication, and my schedule is really tight~]
Sensing that he wouldn’t be able to handle the incoming wave of attention, Yu Mian swiftly diverted the heat by tagging Ernis, who had been silently lurking.
Caught off guard, Ernis nearly dropped his light brain when he suddenly saw himself tagged.
Ever since he had accidentally exposed Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ address last time, Ernis had been too scared to interact recklessly, afraid of making another mistake and getting blocked from Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ contacts.
Never in a million years did he expect Teacher Fish Soup Noodles to call him…very! Cute!
[Crab turning red from steam.jpg]
Faced with fans bombarding him with questions and teasing, Ernis hesitated, then pretended to respond coolly:
[Ernis V: Mmm… yeah, we met. It was great.]
Though usually arrogant and a chatterbox, Ernis had no idea that this reply completely shattered his usual public persona. Even his old fans gathered around this star blog in amazement.
[Oh wow, Xiao Ernis, you’re really good. ‘It was great’? What do you mean by ‘great’? What kind of answer is that!?]
[Yeah, yeah, now you’ve got us all curious! You usually never shut up, so why are you suddenly speechless in front of Teacher Fish Soup Noodles?]
[Exactly +1. Where’s the energy you had when you were a judge on “Heavenly Voice: Rising Star”!?]
Finally, besieged and teased by both fish fans and his own fans, Ernis snapped in embarrassment.
[Ernis V: I just mean it was great, and I’d love to meet again! That’s it! End of discussion!!]
However, his post had a completely counterproductive effect:
[Damn it, we haven’t even met him once, and you’re already hoping for a second time? You’re too greedy!]
[Ugh, Xiao Ernis keeps winning. Meanwhile, we fans haven’t seen a single glimpse. Crying. Can’t you at least share a little detail?]
Hugging his light brain, Ernis tried to control his grin, which was about to stretch to the sun, while humming to himself as he walked toward his collection room.
The previously missing special edition book had also been personally signed and sent to him by Teacher Fish Soup Noodles. Now, he was officially the happiest fish fan in the world!
And just thinking about how Teacher Fish Soup Noodles was really considering buying a house near Starry Sky Lake made Ernis even more excited.
What did this mean? It meant he was about to become neighbors with Teacher Fish Soup Noodles!
Was there a single fish fan in the entire universe luckier than him?
Most importantly, Ernis had always been secretly curious, if Teacher Fish Soup Noodles really belonged to an aquatic race
… what kind of race would he be descended from?
There were just too many kinds of fish.
A shark? A pufferfish? A ribbonfish? Or some other kind?
Why did it feel like Teacher Fish Soup Noodles was full of secrets? Just like his books, each page made people eager to read the next, never feeling satisfied no matter how much they read!
Meanwhile, during this time, the plot of “God Of Cooking” had fully settled into its rhythm.
On the foundation of his first major mission “Spicy Feast”, the protagonist, Lu Zhen, had smoothly completed several main and side missions, including “Fragrant Cilantro”, and “Hotpot Gathering”. The construction of Taoyuan Restaurant was progressing at full speed.
Not only that, but the small sesame dumpling that had accidentally wandered into the backyard bamboo grove had also stumbled into the camera lens during Lu Zhen’s first system-initiated live broadcast, instantly becoming the ultimate mascot and traffic magnet!
Through the system’s information retrieval, Lu Zhen discovered that this creature was a rare exotic beast from the ancient Blue Star known as the “iron-eating beast”, or “panda”.
The system indicated that as Taoyuan Mountain’s ecosystem continued to improve, the variety of flora and fauna would increase, raising Lu Zhen’s mission rating.
And from the moment this panda appeared in the book, it immediately captured the hearts of a massive number of interstellar readers.
[Now that I think about it, it’s been so long since we last saw one of Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ short stories about star beasts! I really loved Da Xi and Gredo from before!]
[Exactly, exactly! The snow leopard was so cute, and now the panda is just as adorable! Every time Teacher Fish Soup Noodles writes about furry creatures, it’s simply irresistible TwT. Please, we beg you, release panda plushies so we can hug them!~]
And after the highly controversial “cilantro” incident, Lu Zhen had now successfully cultivated “vanilla”, unlocking a brand-new large-scale main mission: “Afternoon Tea Break”.
[Hmph, but this time, I won’t fall for your tricks, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles. This “vanilla” isn’t another inedible prank like the cilantro, is it!?]
**香草 for vanilla also translates into “fragrant herb’.
[Exactly! Teacher Fish Soup Noodles always picks these misleading names on purpose! And what’s with this ‘Afternoon Tea’? Isn’t this supposed to be about main courses?!]
As always, Yu Mian maintained his air of mystery and didn’t reveal anything further.
After all, the reason he had been so busy lately was because he had been preparing that script.
After an intense grind, this incredibly peculiar and mysterious new script was finally submitted to Lightyear Pictures along with the last batch of scripts submitted by Xinggui just before the deadline.
With this, the internal script collection event officially ended, entering the rigorous selection phase.
In a way, almost no one knew that Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, who had stirred up countless storms in the literary world, had secretly tried his hand at scriptwriting for the first time.
Of course, the reason Yu Mian had worked so hard to the point of exhaustion was largely out of curiosity.
After all, once “God of Cooking” was completed, he wanted to see whether he could finally get his hands on the full version of that reward!
He was determined to find out why, when it came to Huo Ting, things only worked half as effectively.
