Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Fatal Embarrassnt
Little River Live was about to start broadcasting.
All eyes turned to Nian Shutong’s spot, where she, resembling a nearsighted old lady, was stretching her neck, squinting at the Light Computer as if she had presbyopia, and occasionally bumping into the old man beside her.
“Hey, look, is it about to start broadcasting, what ti does it say?”
“Let see.”
Fu Yunhe also craned his neck, his eyes squinting as if he couldn’t see clearly, then pretended to pull out a pair of glasses from his pocket and put them on.
“Ah… it really is about to broadcast, starting in just ten minutes.”
After Fu Yunhe spoke, he turned curiously towards the two scamrs with a chuckle and asked, “You guys are really good people, aren’t you? You must think we’re bored sitting on the Starship and are preparing to entertain us with a performance, right?”
“Oh my, does that an I can appear in the broadcast?”
Nian Shutong stood up dramatically and said to Fu Yunhe, “Do you think this outfit is alright? I’ve lived so many years as an old woman and have never been on TV.”
“Granny, it’s not TV, it’s live streaming.”
Nian Shutong waved her hand indifferently, “Doesn’t matter, anything goes.”
The three of them played off each other, not giving the others a chance to interject.
By now, sweat began to bead on the forehead of the man opposite them. What should he do?
Why would Little River Live start broadcasting out of the blue?
They had researched thoroughly; once Little River Live announced a stop in broadcasting, the timing only ever increased, never decreased.
The female scamr behind the male tugged at the corner of his clothes, prompting him to shout irritably, “What?”
The loudness of his voice drew frequent sideways glances from others. Was this Little River?
The man realized his slip and imdiately made up for it by saying, “Boss, we didn’t bring that many ingredients. If you wanted to broadcast, you should’ve told .”
“It’s my fault. How about we change locations? It’s a bit cramped here, and I still have so ingredients.”
Her suggestion imdiately had the man nodding in agreent, but before he could finish speaking, Master Huo from Nian Shutong’s group stood up.
Although he didn’t understand why, it was obvious the master wanted to keep these two people around, so there was nothing more to say.
No need to be polite,” said Master Huo as he stood up and took a few steps to the front of the VIP room, using his Light Computer to scan the wall in front of the room.
The wall, in the eyes of everyone, slowly opened up, revealing a clean, tidy, spacious, and brightly lit kitchen.
“This kitchen is at your disposal; consider it a token of goodwill. eting is fate, after all.”
Master Huo’s generosity caught the two scamrs off guard.
Behind them, “Master Fan,” who had been carrying a large black pot all along, now stood up and said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
The first to flee by pretending to pee was deed the most successful.
Unfortunately, Master Huo was still present.
“There’s no need for the chef carrying the pot to trouble himself; there’s a private restroom here. This way, please.”
Master Huo’s invitation stopped the would-be escapee mid-step, making him reluctantly retract his foot.
“Thank you, you’re so kind.”
The man’s ambiguous comnt did not change Master Huo’s expression; he simply continued with the inviting gesture.
He even addressed the two people who were pondering their next move, “Aren’t you two going to prepare?”
“Heh heh…” The fake man laughed awkwardly. What to do now?
“Oh my, I really am in for a treat. You two better start preparing the ingredients.”
It was that well-fed man again, the one who had already paid for his purchases, the first to respond.
Nian Shutong looked down and chuckled to herself. They really were all in cahoots. What did you call this?
On Earth, this is called a shill.
The rotund man’s words had the two scamrs imdiately stand up and say to everyone, “We have so ingredients outside, we’ll go get them right now, please wait a mont.”
“No need, whatever you need, I’ll provide,” said the ever-helpful Master Huo as a cabinet in the kitchen rose from the ground. The transparent shelves displayed a variety of over a dozen vegetables, and so at as well.
The scamrs’ steps were interrupted again as they glared at Master Huo with fire in their eyes, “How could we possibly use your ingredients?”
“Don’t worry about it, didn’t you just offer my big sister a peach? As her little brother, I’ve got to show so gratitude,” Master Huo retorted, pointing to Nian Shutong, who had been enjoying the commotion, and introduced her very naturally, “My big sister, and her husband.”
“Whoa, look at the ti,” said Nian Shutong, raising her Light Computer to check the ti and gazing at the two scamrs, “What are we eating today?”
“Hey, hey, hey, when did Little River Live start? You guys aren’t live yet?”
Fu Yunhe also stood up at just the right mont; on his Light Computer, the live stream from Little River Live had just begun, and noises could be heard coming through.
“Is it on yet?”
“Ha ha, move aside, I’m the chef.”
“No, a good Samaritan told to help you out.”
“Don’t disturb the chef.”
“It’s started, we’ve begun.”
“Can you do it, Rubble? Otherwise, let Master Fan take over!”
The voices of Ha Ha and Rubble followed one after another; they were still talking even as the live stream had been on for a minute.
On the other side, before the live stream could properly start, another voice joined in.
“Rubble, you handle the equipnt while I cook.”
“Ha Ha, you go wait across the street.”
Master Fan’s voice steadied the situation.
“Hello everyone, this is Little River Live, but I’m not Little River.”
“Boss and Xiao He are out, so for the next few days, Rubble and I will be filling in for them.”
“I’m not much for words, just here to cook for everyone. You watch, you eat, and we wrap up perfectly.”
“I’ll be making you a ‘Squirrel Fish’—sweet and sour, delicious, and it looks just like a fish dressed up as a squirrel.”
“Alright, let’s get started.”
Master Fan on the other side, indeed, began preparing the ‘Squirrel Fish’, with Rubble’s voice acting as a voiceover.
Rubble’s voice, devoid of any emotion and chanical, began a very unique live broadcast explanation for everyone.
“Choose a mandarin fish, which is high-bodied and laterally compressed, with a pronounced hump behind the eyes, and a moderately large head…”
“This mandarin fish asures thirty-six point eight centiters in length, about seven centiters in width, making it a rather plump one.”
During the live stream, Rubble’s voice continued, but the person doing the voiceover had fallen behind schedule.
While the fish on that side was almost ready for the pot, the narration was still discussing how “plump” the fish was.
Today’s Little River Live was indeed a live stream with its own unique flair.
However, Nian Shutong’s side seed even livelier.
At this mont, everyone understood that these were scamrs.
Rubble and Master Fan were both at ho, so these three were fraudsters, with one of the robots even trying to impersonate Rubble.
The man, trying for one last struggle, pointed at the person by his side and said, “We have several robots nad Rubble, and Master Fan is just one of our many Master Fans.”
