Chapter 624: Chapter 643: I’m a Mole, I’m Happy
At first, the comment section was spectacular.
[! Here to learn, I’ve come to steal your secrets!]
[Waaaah, I’m so in love with these little snacks!]
[The moment I see that golden-yellow color, my mouth starts watering.]
[Long time no see, it feels like an eternity. Every day without Juju is filled with sorrow.]
[Can’t eat, can’t sleep, my heart flutters with panic if I don’t get a bite!]
As she pan-fried the corn cakes, everything was perfectly normal.
Golden kernels tumbled in the hot oil, instantly releasing their starchy fragrance and the clear, sweet aroma of the corn. "I was watching some of the cooking videos everyone posted in the community today," she said. "Some fans get their hands wet while cooking, which makes it easy to get splattered. So when you’re working with oil, remember to keep your utensils and hands dry, okay?"
"See, the corn is just about ready now. We’ll scoop it out and put it into the pan on the side—oh, no, you can’t eat it yet." Jiang Qiuqiu added, "It’s not that it isn’t cooked, it’s just that we haven’t made it into a cake yet."
The starch-coated sweet corn was pressed firmly onto the pan. While Jiang Qiuqiu was still in the process of making the cakes, someone suddenly commented that the video was lagging.
[What’s going on? @Federation Live Broadcast Company, my video feed suddenly cut out!]
[My audio is stuttering. What happened? Is Juju’s network unstable?]
[...No it’s not? The person above me must be lagging. It’s perfectly smooth for me, isn’t it?]
[Mine’s lagging too! What’s happening?]
[The scent feature is gone for me! What the hell, where’s the aroma? I was just enjoying it!]
At first, only a small number of people reported that the stream was malfunctioning.
But as time went on, more and more people started having problems.
The stream was forced to drop nearly five hundred million viewers. This number fell below the warning threshold, and the live streaming app even sent a notification, telling Jiang Qiuqiu to check if her content quality had collapsed.
She was baffled too. She looked up at the live comments.
"Everything is smooth on my end. I’m not lagging."
"I can see everyone’s comments clearly. What’s going on today? Is there maintenance?"
At that moment, Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t even consider Qian Song. She couldn’t figure out how Qian Song would dare to do something like this.
[I went to check some other streams, they don’t have this problem...]
[What in the world is going on? Isn’t the platform going to give an explanation?]
More and more people were being disconnected.
This left Jiang Qiuqiu feeling a bit helpless, but since most of the audience was still there, she couldn’t just end the stream. After a moment of thought, she decided to continue. However, after the broadcast, she would put the finished products in her merchandise showcase so that everyone could have a taste of today’s food, regardless of whether their stream had been smooth or not.
This proposal quickly received everyone’s support.
She resumed the stream. But while making the crispy millet rice, she couldn’t help but wonder, ’What’s going on? Is Qian Xingxing really that capable? Did she launch an attack on the live streaming app?’
’No, that’s not right.’
’If it were an attack, it should have affected the entire platform, not just me.’
...
At 7:00 PM, Jiang Qiuqiu’s live stream officially ended.
Around 7:01 PM, Jiang Qiuqiu’s food showcase also bugged out.
It would be normal for it to lag with billions of people rushing in, but—
The data for one of the food items was completely wiped out by the glitch.
It was the milky-flavored mochi that had looked so delicious.
One mishap after another. Jiang Qiuqiu started to feel that something was wrong.
At the same time, in the Federation’s live streaming community, the Ju people began spamming posts about the app’s bug that day. The official Star Network account of the Federation Live Broadcast Company was also flooded with comments from Jiang Qiuqiu’s fans.
At this point, everyone’s comments still had a tone of naive outrage.
The comments were perfectly synchronized, all saying the same thing: "The server’s bugging out! Give us back our mochi!"
Because the content of the comments was rather fantastic, onlookers who learned the full story found it quite amusing.
As the robot cleaned up the mess in the kitchen, Jiang Qiuqiu also found it very amusing.
But it wasn’t because of the data glitch, it was because—
’Qian Song, are you really not a mole Qian Xingxing planted in the Qian Family?’
’This is just too funny.’
