The Fine Food Broadcaster
Chapter 31 Abrupt 7 Rank Rise

Within the middle right-hand side of the QQ Platform homepage was a small section dedicated to news regarding the promotion of various broadcasters. Though the area was not large, it still attracted quite a lot of attention since viewers would often be interested to know about their favourite broadcaster’s status.

“F*ck, Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance sure is amazing, ah. He’s only been with the QQ Platform for a few days, but this is already our third time seeing him here, right? To think that he had risen from a Rank 1 to Rank 5 Iron Star now, how incredible, ah.”

“That’s right, ah. For a broadcaster to make it to Rank 5, they have to obtain reward from at least 6,000 individual fans. This guy managed it in just two days, his charisma is just too powerful, ah.”

“Gold shines under any circumstances. I believe that Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance is made from pure gold, he shines in all four directions.”

“Haha, our Torrential Rivermouth is also really amazing, ah. Look, you guys, this guy has only been showing his talent for a few days, but he’s already a Rank 5 broadcaster too.”

“These two guys are incredible, surely this kind of astronomical rise is too amazing, right? I barely remember the last time this kind of scary rank climbing happened. Each and of them have become great deities. Who would have thought I’d get to see this happen twice in my lifetime.”

“Looks QQ Platform will receive two more great deities in their ranks.”

Just then, someone laughed and said, “Surely you meant three?”

“Hey, Upstairs. Who else is there?”

“Have you already forgotten? Didn’t Fine Food Section just put up a new guy? It’s someone called Ye Fei. Now, that dude’s super incredible. He managed to strike HX¥20,000 reward on his very first broadcast. I have a feeling he’ll be promoted soon.”

“Ye Fei? Oh, I know that dude, he’s the one who did that cooking show thingy, right? En, I’m not really interested in FF Section and didn’t watch his broadcast. So, I don’t know what’s happening there.”

“Haha, watch a Fine Food Broadcast? Unless my brain melted out of my ears. It’s just like watching a bunch of hungry ghosts. What’s the point of seeing greedy idiots stuff themselves silly?”

“That’s right, I still think Song & Dance is much more interesting. King of Pop’s ‘Little Sister Don’t Go’ is very popular now, too enchanting, ah. Especially that high note at the end, it really draws you in. Even I nearly cried, ah.”

“Aih, too bad Nature’s Voice’s performance of ‘Back to My Arms’ and ‘Love, Snatch You Back’ had some flaws in them, but it’s still not bad.”

“That’s right, they are all great deities in the making. Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance really deserves his promotion, people with talent and drive should naturally be rewarded.”

“Torrential Rivermouth also has plenty of followers.”

“Yi~~ what’s this red banner?”

“The f*ck, what’s this red banner thing? Surely only something really important or bad deserves a red banner alert? I wonder what kind of news it is.”

“This alert…” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ N0ᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“Pu– Mother! My god in heaven!”

“I eyes, my poor eyes, ah. What did daddy just lay his eyes on?”

“How can this be? Has QQ somehow made a mistake? I don’t believe it, I don’t f*cking believe it, ah!”

“Ye Fei is… about to ascend to the heavens?”

“Just what has this bastard done now? How did it get to this stage?

“7 ranks? This bastard actually blasted through 7 levels of promotion? Is he still human?”

When the red banner announcement went online, people were only mildly surprised. However, when they read the actual content, everything went nuclear.

This was how the announcement appeared. First, a red banner would roll onto the screen only to stop when it reached the middle of the homepage. Next, black words scrolled onto the red banner.

Senior viewers of the QQ Platform all understood this form of announcement. It was to make sure that no one would miss a big reveal.

Thus, when the red banner stopped, they all settled down in tensed anticipation. This was the grand announcement:

[Congratulations to Fine Food Section’s Ye Fei for Achieving the Bronze Star Rank 2 Broadcaster Status.]

Because of the limited word count, the announcement was very simple.

However, the power of these few words was like throwing a hand grenade into a crowded area.

Ye Fei?

That Iron Star Rank 1 noob from Fine Food Section?

That dude only broadcasted twice and was now a Bronze Star Rank 2 broadcaster? Your mom, that’s 7 levels of promotion, ah. Just what had that person broadcasted to strike the heavens, ah? Surely this is too frightening?

Iron Stomach really felt the pain right down to his gut when he saw this announcement.

“Bronze Star Rank 2? 7 levels? Ye Fei you show off, can you please be a bit more normal? Daddy has already swallowed down 7 to 8 catty of pizza, ah, but barely able to touch Bronze Star Rank 3 level. To think that you actually jumped 7 levels just by making tofu, is there any justice left in this world?”

Iron Stomach was so pissed off and exhausted that he really didn’t know what to do except to fume uselessly in place.

Compare to this guy, Devourer of Rivers & Peaks was in a worse situation. Though he was praised as a deity once, he was only a deity at the Iron Star level. For the sake of breaking into Bronze Star status, he had forced down so many hamburgers and chicken fillets that he could barely move. For his trouble, he had been awarded the Bronze Star Rank 1 Broadcaster status.

But, Ye Fei?

That brat made tofu and jumped from an Iron Star Rank 1 to Bronze Star Rank 2 status. This guy’s level was even higher than his, ah. How could he even think about living now, ah?

“Chimp, I feel sick.” After a long time, Devourer of Rivers & Peaks said to his companion.

Chimp opened his mouth but had no idea how to reassure his friend. This announcement was just too overwhelming, even he was still trying to recover from the shock.

However, what could he say?

Don’t worry? Trust your own strength and you’ll beat Ye Fei?

Even Chimp himself could not trust these words. He knew that the broadcasting business was getting more and more competitive. Because every few months, the number of fans required for an upgrade kept increasing.

Devourer of Rivers & Peaks has roughly 8,000 fans, and was now a Bronze Star Rank 1 broadcaster. However, what he really wanted was to become a Rank 2 broadcaster. To achieve that he would need at least 10,000 fans. Don’t look down on this 2,000 fans gap, even if Devourer of Rivers & Peaks eat himself into a coma for a month, he might not even achieve it.

Therefore, Chimp could only pity Devourer of Rivers & Peaks quietly in his heart: It’s not that you are weak, it’s just that the other guy is too strong, ah. You just have to consider yourself unlucky for meeting such an OP crazy powerhouse.

Song & Dance’s Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance was so gloomy that he was on the verge of spitting blood. His goal today was to not only grab the overall top reward for Iron Star rankers, but to also break into Bronze Star status.

But now, the rewards he’d collected were no different from what Torrential Rivermouth had achieved. Though both had leapt into Rank 5, and to be fair it was still a great promotion, it was nothing compared to Ye Fei’s flying achievement, ah.

“What kind of dog shit is this? Just how did that scoundrel manage it? It’s not like there’s anything really interesting about his broadcast. It’s just, cooking, cooking, cooking, what’s so interesting about it? Just how did he manage to get so many fans?

“En? No, no, not right?”

A sudden feverish glow suddenly appeared in Celebrate Peace w/ Song & Dance’s eyes. He cried out, “Ye Fei, amazing, you’re really amazing, ah. To think that that’s your killer move. The ingredients you used are the best of the best. Rose Oil, legendary tofu and some kind of weird cola, you really know how to play the viewers, ah.”

Torrential Rivermouth found himself floundering for words. He sat still in front of the computer, his scholarly fan long since chucked away in a temper at QQ Platform’s grand announcement. His face was so twisted that you’d think he had just swallowed two houseflies.

“It’s the winds of change, the winds of change have come. Fine Food Sections has really changed their tune, ah. So, Ye Fei, I see you’re planning to take over the broadcasting world, ah.”

At the same time, other broadcasters were also talking about Ye Fei. Whether in jealousy or awe, the forums were buzzing with nothing else.

[Gumihou: I feel really sorry for these other broadcasters…]
