Q: How to develop a sweet relationship with a female gentleman

Male insects can cook, what kind of new joke is this?

Cedric lay in bed, looking at the message box where the male insect offered to prepare lunch for him, feeling surprised and curious.

To be honest, Cedric was a noble female insect, held a high military rank, and was beautiful. In an era when male insects were scarce, many still pursued her because of the power and wealth behind her, and they pretended to do some "thoughtful" things for her.

But those proud male insects often only do superficial work. They just want to use a little mercy to make the poor female insects contribute everything.

But these are not the main points. The main point is that Cedric has seen so many ways to chase insects, but this is the first time he has seen one making lunch.

Male insects are ashamed of cooking. They believe that cooking is a sign of lack of prestige and capital.

Cedric became interested and wanted to see how this male insect that suddenly appeared would prepare lunch for him. So, Cedric agreed to Qiao Wang's proposal.

On the other side, Qiao Wang ignored the joking in Cedric's reply. Instead, he was very happy and felt that he was one step closer to Cedric.

Qiqi watched from the side, shaking her head, feeling that Qiao Wang was truly the most obedient and proactive tasker she had ever met. No matter the situation, he always tried to solve the problem and never gave up easily. But the short-lived buff on him was too strong, so he didn't enjoy many good days.

Its poor host.

"Qiqi, what should I make for Cedric's first day preparing lunch?" Qiao Wang suddenly asked.

Qiqi was helpless: How would I know? Systems don't eat.

Qiao Wang thought about it and agreed. This was too difficult for Qiqi.

So Qiao Wang looked up the Zerg's preferred flavors online, hoping to use that information to plan Cedric's lunch for tomorrow. But he soon discovered that the Zerg's cuisine was murky and untrustworthy. Perhaps their so-called "likes" were simply indiscriminate likings.

So in the end, Qiao Wang decided to cook according to his own ideas. Later, he would slowly change the recipe based on Cedric's feedback and make dishes that he liked.

Because he had to prepare lunch for Cedric, the time for the live broadcast had to be changed. Qiao Wang logged into his Chongyu account and dynamically changed the daily live broadcast time to 10:00 am.

So, if we started cooking at ten o'clock, it would usually be ready in half an hour, or at most an hour. After it was done, it would only take about ten minutes to get it to the military headquarters, so Cedric would be getting off work soon and could have a hot meal.

The retention rate for tonight's live broadcast was good, surpassing 79% of all streamers. But the bad news was that there were very few bugs in the live broadcast room at the time, and even if the retention rate was higher, it would not exceed bugs.

Qiao Wang gained 71 fans during his first live broadcast.

Ales was one of the live audience at the time, but like Ryan, he was angry about Qiao Wang's cooking method. In the end, he was slapped in the face when he saw the dish.

As a foodie, in Ales's world, nothing was more important than food, except for the male insect. He decisively followed Qiao Wang and kept a close eye on the streamer's news. After seeing Qiao Wang change the live broadcast time, his brows furrowed.

[Why did the host change the broadcast to morning?! I'm on patrol at this time and can't watch the live broadcast!]

Obviously, although Qiao Wang's fans are pitifully few, they are very sticky and active. After seeing Ales's complaints, they also made comments.

[Yes, host, don't change the time, this time is just right! ]

[Anchor, if you don't change it back, I'll ask you! ]

[Hehe, it's ten o'clock in the morning on the Imperial Star. I just got off work in the Third System, so it won't affect me.]

【Get out of here! 】

【Roll upstairs +1】

……

Qiao Wang hadn't expected his fans to be so active. But after seeing the message, he didn't change his mind. He patiently replied, "I need to prepare lunch for my important insects, so I've changed it to 10 AM. If you'd like to prepare lunch for your insects, you can prepare the ingredients in advance and follow the host. The host will post the necessary ingredients on their social media feed the day before."

It would have been fine if he hadn't replied, but once he did, the comment section became even more lively. If you didn't know, you might have thought it was the comment section of some big streamer.

The default is to cook for houseworms:

【…】

[Excuse me, host, are you still short of help? You cook, I eat, and I'm all about the praise!]

[Can you make me one too? I really want to eat that dish today.]

Whose house bug is this? My unfortunate female brother only asks me for money. Cooking? No, never! No, the more I talk about it, the angrier I get. I have to go beat him up!

[Female brother: I hate emotionally unstable bugs.]

……

The default is to cook for your beloved bugs:

[Is the host preparing lunch for the male insects? Male insects have eaten everything. I don't need a meal for you. But I'm different. I need one! Please give me some!]

[Host, I'm a male insect. Don't try to please that male insect, try to please me. I have a great temper and I'm very flirtatious!]

[…It’s most annoying for women to pretend to be men. 】

【+1】

【+】

...A bug clicked on the homepage of the one who claimed to be a male bug and saw that he was indeed a gentleman.

【**, what a male insect!!!】

[Sir!!! I'll cook for you!]

The style of painting is off.

Even after Qiao Wang's livestream ended, many fans shared the video on forums. Zerg, who had spent their lives surrounded by dark cuisine, were immediately captivated by Qiao Wang's novel cooking methods. Those food-loving Zerg found Qiao Wang's account and quietly followed him.

Those who were disdainful and questioning of Qiao Wang also clicked to follow him. They wanted to see what kind of dark dishes this anchor could come up with!

That Ryan was a female soldier. After experiencing the visual impact of the braised chicken, she enthusiastically recommended Qiao Wang to her comrades. Her comrades were annoyed, thinking that Zerg cuisine had been terrible for thousands of years, but that the Zerg were just too proud to admit it. This streamer was also a Zerg, so how delicious could his cooking be?

But under Ryan's harassment, they turned their attention to Qiao Wang in order to seek peace and quiet.

Qiao looked at the ever-increasing number of followers and felt strange. "Qiqi, is this the newbie protection period? The platform actually buys followers for new anchors. This platform is really great!"

Qiqi, [……]

The next day, Qiao Wang started the live broadcast as scheduled.

Military females consume a lot of energy and therefore eat a lot of food every day. So Qiao Wang wanted to focus on meat, after all, there is nothing more joyful than eating meat.

The live broadcast room is open, and because of yesterday’s fans’ recommendations, a lot of bugs came into the live broadcast room today.

After yesterday's broadcast, Qiao Wang checked out Zerg's livestream settings. This time, he had enabled taste sharing. The Zerg in the livestream room looked at the faceless streamer, who had only enabled taste sharing and no holographic technology, and wondered what was so interesting about it.

However, unable to resist their curiosity, many of the insects that came in did not leave.

What Qiao Wang wants to make today is the most common braised pork rice on Blue Star.

"Hello everyone, this is the new food anchor, Qiqi."

[Qiqi: ...If you can't think of a name, just use mine, right?]

The gentle and clear voice instantly excited the voice control party in the live broadcast room.

[The host’s voice is so nice, I’m following him! ]

[The love of the voice control party is so pure, I am a fan! ]

"Today we're going to make braised pork rice," Qiao Wang said, then took out another kind of Zerg meat, Lulu meat, which tastes similar to pork. "First, we need to process this Lulu meat. Wash it and then cut it into small pieces."

Lulu meat is the most common meat among the Zerg and is inexpensive, so many Zerg prefer it when they have time to cook. The military also frequently purchases this meat to supplement the nutrition of military females. However, the Zerg process meat in a monotonous way, and the resulting meat is often fishy and tough. Therefore, the Zerg in the live broadcast room did not have high expectations after seeing Qiao Wang's introduction.

[The anchor should try making some unusual dishes. You won't be able to retain fans by just making these homely dishes.]

I thought there would be some surprise, but it turned out to be Lulu meat.

【It's boring, I'm quitting.】

……

Qiao Wang ignored the comments. He was still adjusting to his role as a live streamer and didn't know how to interact with his audience. He could only purse his lips and focus on cooking.

Another reason is that it would be bad if the live broadcast delayed Cedric's meal.

"After chopping, we put the shallots in to simmer the oil, and when it's almost done, we take the shallots out."

As the shallots turned brown and their fragrance was released, the insects in the live broadcast room instantly became quiet.

【What's this?!!】

【ah? ? ? ? 】

"We stir-fry the meat until it's lightly browned, then add the ingredients and continue stir-frying. Finally, add the shallots and mushrooms we just prepared, add water to cover the meat, cover and simmer."

Qiao Wang also put in two pre-cooked eggs. There was no special meaning to it, it just made it look better when it was served on the plate.

Then, he would blanch a dish and make some yam and pork ribs soup.

As the meat cooked, the aroma of the meat wafted out. The people in the live broadcast room began to get excited, and the screen was instantly flooded with gifts and comments.

【What's this?!!!】

【I’m a college student, can you give me some? ! 】

My tears are about to flow from the corners of my mouth!

[Who is that important bug?! I'm going to go down and grab his lunch box! ! !]

【Take me one! 】

What's so important about this bug? Isn't live streaming for your own consumption?

[No, the host made it for an important person to eat - an old fan who started following him yesterday]

[…Host, what are the requirements to be your important bug? Can I apply?!]

When the simmering time was up, Qiao Wang opened the lid. The meat, soaked up the broth, mixed with shallots and mushrooms, had a translucent hue. The aroma was fragrant and the color was enticing.

【? !!! !!! !!! 】

【! ! ! ! ! ! 】

Afterwards, Qiao Wang began to pack the dishes into the lunch box. He fiddled with the lunch box very patiently, just so that when he opened it, the insects would be in a better mood because of the beautiful presentation.

Some bugs in the live broadcast room apparently noticed it and screamed.

[Who is this?! Even eating requires plating, host, don’t be too fond of it!!!]

[The presentation is too much! ! ]

Please, don't put it on display. My body is already feeling very uncomfortable without eating it.

After finishing everything, Qiao Wang greeted everyone as usual and then turned off the live broadcast.

Live broadcast room: ...I was just crying when the live broadcast was turned off. What should I do? Waiting online.

At the military headquarters, Cedric had just finished reviewing a document and was about to take out some nutritional supplements for today's lunch when he heard a bug shout, "Admiral, there's a male bug at the door bringing you food!"

Cedric's hand stopped as he was about to open the nutrient solution. He looked slightly stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.

That male insect really came?
