Chapter 140: Friendship over a meal
Then, I started the lucky draw, and the list of lucky audience members appeared on the screen. Everyone held their breath, hoping to be the lucky winner.
"Congratulations to the winners! You'll be receiving fresh squid from us! Remember to contact us!" I announced with a smile. The winners were thrilled, expressing their gratitude and anticipating this special gift. Others expressed envy, but also looked forward to the next event.
“Great!”, “Wonderful!”…
At this time, the live broadcast room was filled with laughter and joy. The audience praised the live broadcast and expressed their anticipation for the next one.
Wei'er and I smiled at each other, feeling a sense of accomplishment. This livestream has shown us the fruits of our hard work, and it has earned us recognition and love. We are confident in future livestreams and look forward to bringing our audience even more surprises.
"Okay, that concludes today's livestream. Congratulations to everyone who won a prize! Remember to send me your address in a private message. I'll ship it right after the broadcast so you can enjoy this delicious, steaming hot sizzling squid! Oh, and speaking of squid, I have another recipe for sizzling giant squid that I'll teach you later. Okay, that's all for today's livestream. Everyone, get some rest early. Good night~" With that, I waved goodbye to the audience and quickly closed the livestream. Then, I asked Wei'er to help me tally up the addresses of the winners while I went to the kitchen to continue frying the remaining squid. Luckily, squid is easy to fry, otherwise I'd have been busy all night. Just processing the winning orders takes quite a bit of time. An hour passed, and the last batch of squid finally came out successfully.
"Wow, it's finally done. Now let's pack it up and ship it." As soon as I finished saying this, the staff of Interstellar Express arrived on time.
"Hello, do you need express delivery?" the Star Express staff asked politely.
"Yes, we're sending express," I replied with a smile, handing him several insulated boxes. "These need to be delivered. Please deliver them as quickly as possible. Price is not a concern, as long as their quality and taste are guaranteed. Because these are filled with food, and I want my friends to be able to taste the freshest and most delicious food."
With that, I gently placed the last insulated box into his suitcase and watched him carefully close the lid. The staff member nodded in understanding and promised to process the shipment as quickly as possible. He picked up the box, thanked me, and left.
I watched him depart, a sense of satisfaction welling up in my heart. This food delivery wasn't just a sharing exercise; it was also a gesture of care and well-wishes for my friends. I pulled out my phone, took a picture of him, and posted it on Bilin, letting everyone know the package had been dispatched and reminding them to check it.
After finishing all this, I returned to the living room and brought out the portion of squid that I had reserved for Wei'er. She sat on the sofa, looking at me expectantly. I handed it to her with a smile and watched her happily enjoy it.
When she finished eating, we went back to our rooms to rest, ending a busy day. Although I was a little tired, I was filled with joy and anticipation when I thought about my friends receiving this special gift.
I opened my social media and saw messages from my friends online. Those who lived nearby all said they had received their packages and raved about the food. I happily replied, enjoying the feeling of recognition.
Suddenly, a strange message caught my attention. "Hello, I just received your package. I really like the food you sent me, but I noticed a small card inside that seemed to have your contact information, so I added you. Can we get to know each other?"
I was a little surprised; I hadn't expected to make a new friend through this. I replied, "Of course, nice to meet you!" We then started chatting, and I curiously asked, "How did you find my contact information?" He smiled and replied, "Your WeChat ID was on the little card that came with the food, so I tried to add it, and to my surprise, it actually worked."
Through our conversation, I discovered we had many common interests. For example, we both enjoyed movies, music, and travel. He told me he'd recently seen a fantastic film and highly recommended it to me. I also shared some of my favorite music with him.
This unexpected discovery made me extremely excited. Perhaps this is one of life's little blessings. I can't help but sigh that sometimes, fate is so wonderful that you can inadvertently meet like-minded friends.
Over the next few days, we chatted every day, sharing our lives. I discovered that he was not only an interesting person, but also a very thoughtful and considerate person. Every time I mentioned what I wanted to eat, he would always write it down and find an opportunity to take me there.
As time went by, our friendship grew deeper, and we became close friends, sharing our hearts and minds, our joys and sorrows. This connection, born from a delicious meal, has forged a true friendship that has become one of the most precious treasures in my life. All this is a story for later. Who could have imagined that a chance lottery event would lead to such a close friend? After chatting with him for a while, I realized it was getting late, and after a hasty goodbye, I logged off.
After saying goodbye to this netizen, I turned off my optical computer and placed it in a nearby cabinet to charge. I couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of Interstellar's optical computers. Even charging next to my pillow, I didn't have to worry about radiation exposure or explosion hazards. If such a situation were to occur, I'd receive a substantial compensation, demonstrating the exceptional safety of Interstellar's electronic products. Of course, safety aside, as electronic products, entertainment is also essential. So, I picked up my phone and started browsing the Douyin platform. While Interstellar's technology is highly advanced, when it comes to short videos, I still have to look no further than my home country, Country Z.
My Douyin page has everything except the messages, but I can't add contacts. The videos are updated regularly, and I check them every day to see if there's anything new. Today, I opened Douyin as usual and looked at the beautiful, affordable clothes in the livestreams. Tears of envy streamed down my face. Clothes in StarCraft prioritize functionality. Ordinary people don't prioritize design; they just want to be comfortable and functional. Plus, there are very few overweight people in StarCraft, which is why we've been wearing the same two or three outfits I brought from Blue Planet over and over since arriving. I've only bought a few clothes in StarCraft, and I'm desperate to buy some! Suddenly, a piece of clothing from a livestream caught my eye. I'm still a little overweight, but not that much anymore. The clothes in the livestream hit every quirk I've had in clothes lately: faux two-pieces, black and white, cute... That's exactly what I want! "Oh, what a shame I can't even get them after buying them," I shook my head, feeling like there was no point wasting forty yuan. After all, I've left Blue Planet, and who knows if our bank cards will still work? But something still lingered in my heart. After much deliberation, I finally decided to place the order. "Think of it as spending those 40 yuan to buy peace of mind! Even if I can't wear it myself, I can let someone else wear it." After placing the order, I logged out of the Douyin platform and prepared for bed. Although I didn't have to go out too early tomorrow, I only had two live broadcasts today, so it was better to get some rest early.
