ICTEUWMN Chapter 93.2

Yu Mian subconsciously glanced at Huo Ting. He was just about to announce the official start when Huo Ting reached out and touched his forehead again to check for any lingering fever.

Yu Mian: !

Huo Ting: “The fever’s gone.”

The moment his forehead was touched, Yu Mian inexplicably felt a little ticklish.

“End it on time in half an hour, then go take a nap.”

After confirming, Huo Ting still reminded him.

After all, the doctor had advised him to rest for another day to ensure that the unusual fever had completely stabilized before resuming work.

However, seeing the overwhelming anticipation from everyone online, Yu Mian insisted on sticking to the original.

In a way, Yu Mian’s schedule was indeed packed to the brim these days.

During the day, he had to organize outlines, prepare the live broadcast plans, and review submissions from the writing competition. At night, he had to update two books in succession, often working until the early morning.

On top of that, the single volumes of “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier King” also needed to be released periodically.

Even Qiao Ni occasionally worried whether Yu Mian’s body could handle being this busy.

But Yu Mian thoroughly enjoyed it.

“Got it.”

Huo Ting’s reminder about the time limit unexpectedly distracted Yu Mian, making him feel a little less nervous.

He only hoped that with both of them appearing in the live broadcast this time, people would finally stop suspecting that Huo Ting was “Fish Soup Noodles”.

O.O

And so, at the peak of anticipation from countless netizens, the live broadcast room, which had been in blackout mode for preparation, finally went live!

However, what no one expected was that the moment the live broadcast started, various special effects from gifts instantly flooded the entire screen.

[Feather Monster: Welcome to the live broadcast room~ We meet again! Hope your live broadcast goes smoothly, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles. The Golden Soup Beef from last time was absolutely delicious!]

Led by Noel, the wave of gift-givers began greeting him in a scrolling flood of messages.

Not to mention the top rankings were already filled with familiar IDs like “Stellar Medal,” “EN,” and “Lilith” etc.

[Holy shit, holy shit, what’s going on? The most expensive “Star Guardian” gifts just got thrown out more than ten times in the first second of the live broadcast?! Even God Noel came to support?]

[Wow, an instant bombardment of gifts at the start? I’ve never seen this many…it looks like a mosaic covering the whole screen. Absolutely insane.]

This extravagant flood of gifts directly pushed the #TheDeliciousSecretOfSpicyChicken# live broadcast room into the platform’s real-time trending topics, attracting curious users from across the platform.

Which big anchor came to Eternal Live for a live broadcast? How did they rank so high already?

“Uh… everyone, please stop sending gifts for now. I think the screen is lagging a bit…”

Just as everyone was marveling at the rare gift storm, an unfamiliar yet inexplicably warm and pleasant voice came through the live broadcast.

[!??]

[?????]

[Holy sh…???]

A wave of question marks and exclamation points filled the barrage.

Everyone finally looked at the screen in disbelief, where the overwhelming gift effects had just been turned off.

Because of the unexpected lag, the live broadcast couldn’t officially start, so Teacher Fish Soup Noodles leaned in and poked at the screen with his finger at close range…

Apparently trying to troubleshoot the lagging display.

[T-Teacher Fish Soup Noodles?! Was that Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ voice just now?!]

[Oh my god, I just got poked by Teacher Fish Soup Noodles! This kind of interactive experience is too exciting. Wait, why does his voice sound so young… and kinda… nice?]

[Ahh, this is nothing like I imagined! But his voice is so pleasant?! Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, no rush to fix the screen…say a few more words for us first!]

“…?”

Yu Mian had just turned off the gift effects when he suddenly noticed that the entire barrage had turned into requests for him to talk more.

‘Why does this feel a bit weird?’

Hesitating slightly, Yu Mian’s momentary pause was quickly picked up on by countless viewers.

[Wait, everyone! This is Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ first-ever live broadcast. Calm down, act normal! Don’t scare him off! [crying emoji]]

[I’m terrified he’ll get scared and shut the live broadcast off… But is this really Teacher Fish Soup Noodles?]

[So he got startled? And now he’s not talking? Wuuu, Teacher, we’re just a little excited! We’re here to learn how to cook! [Acting cute]]

Before long, the barrage was filled with normal cooking-related discussions like, “I bought some cooking utensils last night but burned everything a few times”, or “The food I made tasted terrible, Teacher, please help!’

“Cooking does take some time to learn. Failing on the first try is completely normal. ID Tuanzi, don’t be discouraged. Even Lu Zhen in the book had to practice repeatedly before he got it right.”

Yu Mian couldn’t help but laugh when he saw several viewers posting pictures of themselves cooking on a whim last night but ended up with a pot of black charcoal.

While tidying up the ingredients on the table, he subconsciously offered some words of encouragement.

[Tuanzi: !??? Oh my god, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles read my ID?! AHHH!!! I won’t be able to sleep tonight!]

[Love Spring: Damn it, you guys actually did homework before the lesson? You just wanted to stand out and get noticed by Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, huh?!]

[Fluffy Ball: You guys are too competitive… Fine! I’m buying kitchen utensils right now!]

But just as the barrage was going crazy, Yu Mian glanced at the small notebook beside him, where he had written down his live broadcast script and key points.

It was time to officially begin.

“Alright, if everything’s okay, let’s officially start. Hello everyone, I’m Fish Soup Noodles…”

As Yu Mian spoke his opening lines, he stood properly in front of the camera.

The screen showed his hands arranging a basket of fresh chili peppers on the table, along with the upper half of his body from the waist up.

Even though his full face wasn’t visible, just this partial reveal was enough to shatter countless wild rumors about him.

[Crazy Fish Fan: QwQ Ahem, after all, this chili is so white, uh, no! This chili is so red, these hands are so skillful!! Good broadcast! [wild applause]]

[Starlight: Upstairs, the teacher hasn’t even started cooking yet, how did you figure out that the hands are so skillful?]

[Crazy Fish Fan: I advise you not to interfere!!]

And just like that, with this comment, the barrage was already overflowing with unexpected entertainment value, and various “hahaha” filled the screen.

[Meteor: I’m laughing so hard I can’t breathe! Help, my mom just asked why I was staring at my light brain with tears in my eyes!]

[Sleepyhead: Alright, alright, the chili is very white, right? Teacher Fish Soup Noodles said: That’s it, my student is colorblind, hahahaha!]

Although Yu Mian had finished reading his opening speech, he still hadn’t had the chance to focus on the barrage and instead looked to the side at Huo Ting.

After all, he still remembered the most crucial purpose of this live broadcast.

“And I also have an assistant this time. Let me introduce him to everyone before we officially start cooking…”

The next second, Yu Mian reached out and took Huo Ting’s hand, who had been watching him start the broadcast off-screen, and gently pulled him into the center of the screen.

For some reason, he felt a little nervous.

Huo Ting lowered his eyes, looking at Yu Mian in front of him, and there was a trace of a barely perceptible smile in his eyes.

“He will be responsible for washing the vegetables, cutting them, and all the prep work. Each step is quite crucial, so everyone should pay attention.”

Even though he knew his face wouldn’t be caught on screen, Yu Mian still couldn’t help but turn around to face the screen and introduce seriously.

“Of course, in the end, I will also post the full process of making spicy chicken on StarBlog. If anyone doesn’t remember, don’t worry too much.”

But at this moment, the barrage had already shifted its focus away from cooking.

[This this this… this?]

[Could this be…??!]

And for some unknown reason, just watching this scene on screen gave viewers an indescribable feeling they couldn’t describe.

[Although…Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, can we request not to use an assistant?]

[Indeed. The fact that the person whose hand you’re holding isn’t me, I’m already a bit uncomfortable…]
