Chapter 240: Chapter 82: 9-Flavored Imperial Consort’s Chicken (Part 2)_3
Just as Du Xixi, Ke Lian, and Chen Yin had anticipated, Du Xixi’s exposure of her streamer identity indeed became the breakthrough opportunity they needed.
As Ke Lian’s wife, Du Xixi was already someone the whole All-Star paid attention to, not to mention the earlier operations by the Morri Empire and Chengsta Empire that had kept Du Xixi’s name on the Star Network for several days. Even those who didn’t care about interstellar affairs were well familiar with the name "Du Xixi."
Using Du Xixi’s identity and culinary skills as the springboard for promoting food was the wisest decision!
When the interest in food across the All-Star was at its peak, Du Xixi and the others were far from idle. Chen Yin especially made a video call with Du Xixi and Ke Lian to discuss the matter remotely.
Don’t ask why it could only be remote; it’s because Chen Yin is too busy and can only communicate with Du Xixi and Ke Lian through video calls during his spare time.
"Hahaha, you guys haven’t seen how many alliance agreements are stacking up on my official desk! It’s like several small mountains! All these empires want to collaborate with us to promote food!" Although Chen Yin was still very busy, the exceptionally bright smile on his face made Du Xixi and Ke Lian know for sure that he was feeling very joyful.
Of course, Du Xixi and Ke Lian were also very pleased, especially Du Xixi. She thought of the recent live streams where fans seriously asked her small cooking questions and felt that the successful promotion of food was just around the corner!
"I’ve gained a lot of live stream fans, and it seems like quite a few are seriously learning to cook from me, which is a good thing." Du Xixi, holding her eldest son, felt the little movements of Yiyi in her arms, and her smile deepened.
Although the Blue Star Empire did provide food ingredients for a fee, since it was just starting, everything needed to develop slowly, so the prices of selling ingredients weren’t very high, at most covering the cost of cultivation for the customers.
This was only temporary, everyone understood, but many people had the mindset of "don’t miss a bargain," and bought lots of ingredients to store at home, while imitating Du Xixi’s live streams to cook and taste the food.
Du Xixi also knew that many fans were earnestly learning to cook with her, so in the past few live streams, she didn’t make any complicated dishes, just simple and easy-to-master home-style dishes that still tasted great.
As a result, the response to food on the Star Network was quite positive, with many people following the trend and uploading pictures of their culinary creations on their respective profiles to share their love for food.
During her live streams, Du Xixi recognized many familiar fans, and after the streams, she would silently browse the Star Network and often see her fans among those showing off their culinary creations.
People were not excessively competitive; they were just sharing their experiences of making and tasting food, which improved the atmosphere on the Star Network considerably, something Du Xixi and the others hadn’t expected.
The Star Network was a place for All-Star people to communicate with each other; it was a mixed bag, and problems could easily arise. Insults and curses might even involve ancestors for eighteen generations, and many people would take online feuds offline to resolve violently.
These malicious events stacked up and became increasingly severe, so the heads of the Star Network divided it into various sections, allocated proportionally based on each empire’s population.
The Blue Star Empire’s population was relatively large among the hundreds of empires in the All-Star, with only one or two having more people, so it was allocated a significantly large section of the Star Network District.
When an empire’s territory is large, it’s difficult to manage. Similarly, managing a large social network area is challenging. Even with Chen Yin’s efforts and the staff he deployed, it was like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water.
However, after Du Xixi exposed her identity, her fans engaged in healthy competition. Although their food photos and experiences might appear boastful, they were harmoniously so.
The Blue Star Empire’s Star Network District became unprecedentedly harmonious because of this, which was undoubtedly very good. The genius Chen Yin assigned to this task took the opportunity to scan and reinforce every detail of the Star Network.
Thus, even if the Star Network became chaotic again in the future, the reinforced system would detect it and, according to the level of disharmony, immediately silence or ban the offending accounts!
Du Xixi held Yiyi, while the more reserved Er Er was naturally in Ke Lian’s arms. The father and son both wore cold expressions and didn’t talk much, which Chen Yin found quite amusing.
He coughed, repositioning a document he had dropped back onto the "mountain peak" on his desk, then said to Ke Lian, "The Military Department has been quite unrestful lately. Even though you’re on vacation, you need to be cautious since your influence is in the Military Department. Don’t get affected."
Ke Lian’s expression turned cold, clearly having his own sources to gather information about the Military Department. He gave Chen Yin a grateful look: "Thanks for the reminder."
"No need for thanks, it’s just mutual benefit." Chen Yin smiled, not taking Ke Lian’s perfunctory gratitude to heart. It was just mutual benefit after all...
