It’s no wonder that Wei Que is a man who specializes in this field. His talent in collecting gossip is so amazing that even Lin Yi is amazed.
While Lin Yi and Xi Qingyu entered the sealed kitchen to cook, Wei Que was enthusiastically checking various information with his friends in the team. At the same time, someone was watching "Where Are We From", looking at Song Shu like a magnifying glass.
The background of the studio also changed to look like a living room. Song Shu and Fang Hong were sitting on the sofa with an empty seat between them. Song Shu was chatting with Fang Hong. The content of their conversation just had to stick to the theme of Earth's food. The other program teams did not make too rigid requirements in this regard.
Fang Hong comes from a military family. She talked about her experience of being stationed on a marginal planet more than ten years ago: "At that time, the transportation cost of the nutrient solution was too high, so we usually needed to supplement with other foods. The planet we were stationed on produced a lot of fruits, and I remember that they tasted very good. Now many nutrient solutions are also developed based on these flavors."
Song Shu sat there with her hands on her knees. Her expression changed as Fang Hong spoke, revealing a bit of the tenderness unique to an omega.
Wei Que took a quick glance at the content on the screen and couldn't help but said sourly: "Are you afraid that others don't know that you are an omega?"
When he looked away and returned to his personal terminal, he saw a new private message.
Ever since the article was published, the private messages in the account managed by Wei Que have been filled with various contents, including encouragement for them to create more, fans of Xi Qingyu and Song Shu coming to criticize and curse, and some just passing by.
But the private message Wei Que received now was a little special. It started with the sentence "I have other negative information about Song Shu."
Wei Que was startled and immediately moved his hand up, with the smile on his face instantly becoming lewd.
What the person said was simple and clear. She used to be a fan of a star, but that star disappeared a few years ago. This star was also a star mentioned in Wei Que's previous explosive article. She was also a female omega named Chen Mian. She was also an artist under Yinyue Entertainment at that time. After filming a tepid movie, she disappeared from the public eye.
The person who sent a private message to Wei Que gave him a public blog account, telling him that this was a small account that only a few fans of Chen Mian knew about. A few months after Chen Mian disappeared, a diary-style blog post was posted in it, roughly describing why she had to quit the circle.
Key words include "I know that it will be useless even if I make this public, as she is capable enough to confuse right and wrong", "She directly threatens me with my qualifications as a mother", and "I am afraid that she will deprive me of everything".
Wei Que got goosebumps. On the one hand, he was happy that these details basically matched Lin Yi's story. On the other hand, he felt a chill towards Song Shu.
Looking at Song Shu with a gentle smile on the screen again, Wei Que's hair stood on end. I've seen people who can pretend, but I've never seen someone who can pretend so well. This omega is too cruel.
He edited a short article almost at full speed, and posted it on the Internet at the fastest speed by taking advantage of several trending searches, filling it with the current popularity.
Lin Yi and Xi Qingyu have been in the kitchen for about twenty minutes.
Lin Yi was not good at cooking, but at least he had seen pigs run. He searched for the only dish he could make in his previous life, braised pork, and made a plate of it carefully. I didn't know what Xi Qingyu had done. Lin Yi picked up the chopsticks and tasted the braised pork. It tasted ordinary, but for Lin Yi, it was the first time he had eaten a normal dish on this planet.
After half an hour, the two dishes on their side were taken away by the robot.
People outside would not know who made these two dishes.
The first people to participate in the judging are the audience watching the show.
They can taste the food through real-life viewing. Even if they don't really feel full, their sense of taste and smell are basically the same as if they were there in person.
However, due to the reputation of Earth's food, when the two dishes were brought to the empty seats outside by the robots, everyone just stood aside and watched through reality.
Xi Qingyu cooked an Earth dish that is quite popular on the Capital Star. Compared with other well-known "Earth dishes", its taste is lighter and easier to eat, so it is very popular in retro restaurants.
But from a distance it looks like a dark green unidentified object.
However, those who originally just wanted to take a quick look at the dish were soon attracted by the rich aroma of the braised pork after the robot opened the lid covering the dish.
“It smells so good.”
"What's that smell?"
Almost all the audience walked towards the braised pork first. Those who saw the rich color and could tell that it was a meat dish immediately hesitated.
People on Earth don't seem to know how to prepare meat dishes very well, at least that's the general perception in the empire now, so those who are attracted by the aroma look hesitant again.
Some friends who were watching the show together looked at each other and encouraged each other to try it first, but no one took the initiative.
"No, last time I ordered a meat dish at that five-star retro restaurant on Third Avenue, it was smelly and fishy, so disgusting that I couldn't finish my nutrient solution that day."
"Oh, stop talking about that. I've been to a restaurant without any stars, and that experience was unforgettable."
Everyone simply turned their attention to another mediocre Earth dish.
In preparation for this show, Xi Qingyu went to learn from the chef of the most famous restaurant in Capital Star in advance. Because she had practiced this dish repeatedly, she did not make any mistakes when making it on the spot, and she indeed achieved a level that would be praised if it was served in the restaurant.
The essence of this dish is to boil some vegetables from Earth and then sprinkle some salt on them to keep the vegetables crisp and tender with a bit of saltiness. It is currently hailed as the top of the list of "the most foolproof food on Earth".
Some hesitant people tried the dish first.
"That boiled vegetable dish tastes really good, like the chef at Triumph on First Avenue."
Some people who couldn't overcome their concerns about meat simply voted for Xi Qingyu. But most people decided to try the meat dish out of fairness.
As a result, the person who had originally closed his eyes and stuck out his tongue to taste the food with a heroic attitude, opened his eyes wide in shock after licking a little of the braised pork soup.
A friend came in to watch the real-life scene together, and when he saw the first person who tasted the food had this reaction, he subconsciously thought it was because it was too unpalatable. Just when he was about to say he wouldn't try it, he saw the other person come to his senses and stuff the whole piece of meat into his mouth, then closed his eyes as if he was enjoying it.
"Hey, what's that smell? Say something." Someone pushed him.
The man just waved his hand, then swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth and raised his hand to pick up another piece. Seeing this, the others also raised their hands to pick up a piece hesitantly, and then almost the same reaction appeared in everyone.
Fortunately, this plate of meat is virtual and will return to its original shape within a few seconds after they take it away, otherwise it will not be able to keep up with the speed at which they pick up the dishes.
Those who finished eating quickly sent comments to express their opinions.
"Holy crap!! The taste of that braised pork is so amazing. It feels like all the food I ate on Earth for the past ten years was wasted. Wow, this is definitely a delicacy."
"It's really delicious. If you haven't tried it yet, go eat it now. You will regret it for the rest of your life!"
People who were afraid to try the meat at first finally plucked up the courage to try it after seeing the real-time comments in the corner of the video. Soon, a hot topic #《Where We Come From》Calls You to Eat Meat# was launched on various social media platforms.
This hot search immediately jumped to the top of the real-time hot searches.
Many people who didn't pay attention to the show were even contacted by their friends and relatives to go to the reality experience area of the show to eat meat. Therefore, the ratings of the first episode of "Where Are We From" also jumped to the highest point at this time, and even many people from the marginal galaxies participated.
In the military office of the First Legion stationed on the desolate planet, Song Qinshuang was just casually browsing the real-time hot searches on the star network to relieve his boredom.
As Qin Nuo's subordinate, he will follow Qin Nuo back to the capital star at the end of this month. At this time, many affairs have been handed over. Except for daily training, the rest of the time is basically free personal time.
Song Qinshuang is a member of the Song family. Strictly speaking, he and Song Shu are cousins. However, Song Qinshuang's father is not the son of the first wife, so his status is not high and he is on the margins of the Song family. In recent years, Song Qinshuang has intended to join the Williams family.
Song Qinsong knew best what kind of person his cousin was. He had no intention of watching her pretending on the Internet, but he did not miss the opportunity to eat the vegetables. After taking a bite of the braised pork, he could not stop eating. Not only that, he also used his communicator to notify almost everyone he could, asking everyone to come and eat the meat.
The Desolate Planet was a place where people often used other foods to replenish their physical strength. However, unlike the planets Fang Hong had been stationed on, this place did not produce fruits. The main products on the Desolate Planet were various meats. Because they were not popular on other planets, most of them were consumed by the locals and the soldiers stationed here.
Although fresh meat is not bad after being boiled in water, it is still far from the taste of this kind of meat that has been cooked and carefully seasoned.
When Qin Nuo returned to the military office, the first scene he saw was Song Qinsong and several other subordinates sitting together eating air, looking very happy.
He strode over and reached out to turn off the reality experience button. Several people were chewing the meat in their mouths with relish and intoxicated faces, but the smell of meat disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Song Qinsong was about to lose his temper, but when he turned around, he was met with Qin Nuo's unhappy face. He immediately stood at attention and saluted him.
"Meet the Marshal!"
"Are you all so free?" Qin Nuo frowned.
Song Qinsong coughed dryly and wanted to say that there was nothing else to do, but he took the words back immediately, fearing that if he dared to say such a thing, Qin Nuo would dare to let him practice for a day. Qin Nuo's perverted self-discipline and rules were not something he dared to challenge.
He quickly became serious and said, "Yes, I'm going to take a look at the location layout and personnel selection for that movie."
Song Qinsong ran away quickly, and when he came out, there seemed to be a lingering taste of braised pork in his mouth.
Apart from the trend of eating meat together, the most popular topic is undoubtedly #Is Song Shu a witch or a fairy#.
Wei Que felt that as soon as he came into contact with Lin Yi, his skills in stirring up trouble seemed to be maxed out. Even his article titles were so amazing that every one of them would become a hot topic.
Before the show was even finished, the number of fans of their entertainment account had increased from 10 million to 50 million, and reaching 100 million is no longer a dream.
In the article "Is Song Shu a Witch or a Fairy?", Wei Que compared the content of Chen Mian's blog with Lin Yi's experience, and also implicitly asked why Lin Yi still had the opportunity to appear on the show, why Song Shu also happened to appear on this show, and deliberately expressed his position on Weibo to trigger another wave of public pressure on Lin Yi. All the content still did not come to a clear conclusion, but the open ending gave the audience more speculation. It also made the article that everyone was skeptical about in the morning more convincing.
The public opinion has changed significantly because of these two articles. Netizens who were originally one-sidedly criticizing Lin Yi have either wavered or think that Lin Yi is innocent. Not only is he innocent, but he is also a poor omega who was framed and lost his glands.
Some people even found the commercial that Lin Yi had filmed before, and compared his appearance in the commercial with his current appearance on the show, as well as his pitiful appearance in a previous interview with his appearance in the interview before that. The conclusion was that there is no greater sorrow than a dead heart, and Song Shu's method was really heartbreaking.
"It's over. I think Song Shu is more like the bad guy..."
"What do you think? I think it's like that. Ugh. Yesterday I praised her for being gentle and cute, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious."
Song Shu knew nothing about this. She and Fang Hong were looking at the two dishes made by Xi Qingyu and Lin Yi and preparing to draw conclusions.
Of course Song Shu knew what dishes Xi Qingyu cooked, so she tasted Xi Qingyu's boiled vegetables first, and then gave praise comments from various angles.
Fang Hong first tasted Lin Yi's dish, and her eyes lit up after tasting it. Fang Hong then tasted Xi Qingyu's dish. It was not bad, but the taste and texture were too bland. After wiping her mouth with a napkin, she thought for a moment and cast her vote.
Although Song Shu also smelled the aroma of the braised pork, she didn't seem to have any intention of tasting it. She just looked at the meat and shook her head, saying with regret: "It's a pity that I can't eat meat, otherwise I would have tried it."
Fang Hong said: "This dish tastes very good. I don't know how it was prepared. It doesn't have any fishy smell at all. Besides, for fairness, everyone should try it, right?"
Song Shu couldn't resist and could only pick up the chopsticks and take a bite of the meat. To her surprise, the dish tasted really good. She opened her eyes visibly, but then frowned again, and put down her chopsticks and said, "It's still not to my taste."
Previously, these scenes seemed to be the elegant manners of the royal family to others, but now they seemed very artificial, and some people even doubted Song Shu's taste.
Song Shu was very calm. She would definitely vote for Xi Qingyu, and the audience's vote had been arranged long ago. No matter what the result was, it would show that Xi Qingyu had more votes. In this way, Xi Qingyu would at least win over Lin Yi by two votes to one.
Xi Qingyu and Lin Yi walked to the front at this time, ready to wait for the voting results to be announced.
The host's intelligent brain brought the two people to his side and gave an opening speech, then mentioned the theme of the program again, and finally returned to the issue of announcing whether Lin Yi and Xi Qingyu would stay or go.
"I'm sure you two are very nervous at this moment?" the host's intelligent brain said with a smile.
Lin Yi smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, just keep a normal mind."
Xi Qingyu also laughed: "I'm a little nervous, but I actually want to give Xiaoyi the chance to stay."
What a fucking pretentious guy! Lin Yi rolled his eyes in his heart.
Seeing the confident expressions of Xi Qingyu and Song Shu, Lin Yi knew that this time whether to stay or leave might not be decided by him. After all, capital has the greatest say at this time.
But Lin Yi didn't feel that he suffered a loss by participating in this program. At least in terms of public opinion, Wei Que must have caused some trouble at this time. And such popularity and exposure were also attributed to Song Shu herself arranging this program for Lin Yi, which could be said to be shooting herself in the foot.
Instead of caring about the voting results, Lin Yi was thinking about going to the deserted planet to join the crew and play a supporting role.
The host's intelligent brain first released the footage of Lin Yi and Xi Qingyu cooking backstage, so everyone knew who made the two dishes.
Netizens immediately connected it to Song Shu’s expression when she was eating meat just now and started to speculate conspiracy theories.
"You're not so reluctant because you knew in advance that the meat was cooked by Lin Yi, right?"
"I said her sense of taste was impaired, it seems like she did it on purpose..."
At this time, the department of Galaxy Film and Television responsible for the variety show "Where Are We From" was still struggling backstage.
Because the votes showed that Lin Yi won overwhelmingly over Xi Qingyu, if we choose to tell the public that Xi Qingyu got more votes at this time, it would definitely lead to endless doubts.
After hesitating for a long time, the program director gritted his teeth and transmitted the real data to the host's intelligent brain. No matter how much pressure Song Shu was under, they couldn't openly destroy the reputation of their own program.
The host's intelligent brain began to announce the voting results, showing that Fang Hong and Song Shu voted for Lin Yi and Xi Qingyu respectively, leveling the situation.
"The next crucial choice is made by the audience watching the show in real time; the result is,"
Xi Qingyu had a smug smile on his face, and he had almost prepared some humble remarks and words of encouragement to Lin Yi.
Song Shu sat on the sofa with a chilly smile on her face, glancing at Lin Yi, certain that he would leave in shame soon.
The host's old face showed a lively expression, and he said slowly: "The audience vote showed that 90% of the votes were cast for Lin Yi's dishes, so Lin Yi received two votes and became the winner of this episode."
The expressions on Xi Qingyu and Song Shu's faces broke down at the same time.
