Chapter 829 - 848: Advertising in All Seriousness

Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow. "There’s another user who might be a colleague. She spams our verified account every day, asking how you manage to heal hundreds of people a day, and whether you’re a Spirit Healing Crystal Stone in disguise."

Even Qiuqiu was momentarily speechless. "I’m not. If you want your Spirit Sea to be more cohesive, you need to do more Spiritual Training on a regular basis." After saying that, she added, "Without training, even someone made out of Spirit Healing Crystal Stones wouldn’t have enough endurance."

The netizens asked all sorts of bizarre questions. As Xiao Xiao read through them, she couldn’t help but think how weird netizens were nowadays. But no matter how outrageous the question, Student Jiang answered them all in a gentle, ordinary tone. She even handled the more pointed and sensitive questions with ease. This made Xiao Xiao feel that she didn’t seem like a twenty-something girl from the slums at all.

They had almost reached the required duration for today’s special feature. Feeling that the interview had been quite pleasant, Xiao Xiao glanced down at her list and asked Qiuqiu a friendlier question.

"Since you were a very well-known food streamer on the Star Network before this, Student Jiang, your food enjoys a great reputation across the entire platform.

"Someone asked: if they came here for treatment, queued up for you, and told you they were one of the Ju people, would you give them an extra portion of food?"

"Not here," Qiuqiu replied. "But they could leave their ID, and I could gift them some data during a livestream. However, I really don’t hope to meet my fans here."

"Understandable," Xiao Xiao agreed. "After all, health is the most important thing.

"Well, that concludes today’s interview. Does Student Jiang have anything she wants to say to our audience?"

"Can I say anything?" Jiang Qiuqiu asked in return.

Xiao Xiao paused for a moment. "Generally, yes."

And so, Xiao Xiao watched as Jiang Qiuqiu turned her head to face the camera directly. Her gentle and calm expression suddenly shifted—

"While watching today’s live interview, did you notice the meat paste simmering in the pot?

"That meat paste is made from fresh Gugu meat chopped into small pieces. It’s savory and slightly spicy. The only drawback is that the cooking process is rather complex and requires very precise temperature control."

Qiuqiu rattled off the description at a rapid pace.

Xiao Xiao was a bit confused. Listening to the first few sentences, she assumed Qiuqiu was just trying to boast about her culinary skills. She was bewildered. The girl seemed quite smart, so why would she do something so... off-putting at a time like this?

But just as that thought surfaced, Qiuqiu added, "If you want to easily get the exact same meat paste, you can search for Taobao Food - Delicious Factory Gugu Meat Paste on the Star Network. For only 80 Star Coins, you can satisfy your curiosity!"

Xiao Xiao was flabbergasted. She was actually doing a deadpan advertisement! The plot twist came completely out of nowhere.

Later, while walking together along the hospital’s small stone path toward the dormitory area, Xiao Xiao was still marveling at it, telling Qiuqiu that she didn’t seem like the type of person who would plug advertisements.

Qiuqiu smiled. "Advertising was a daily part of my past livestreams."

"Haha, you’re quite interesting."

The two groups parted ways.

Since they had arrived at the residential area, their guide also went home. The six team members quickly went to their rooms. The night was clear with sparse stars. At an hour when most people were sleeping peacefully, the press team began their routine overtime. After finding their desks and setting up all their pre-prepared equipment, they each began their respective duties. According to the plan, they needed to finish editing all the footage before 2:00 AM so the special feature could go live late that night.
