Coming to the StarCraft to Be a Kindergarten Teacher: Perfect Transformation

Chapter 42 Upload Recipes & Interstellar Food Culture

"Huh..." Wei'er let out a long sigh and said as if relieved: "The live broadcast is finally over! Sui Sui, I'm really happy!" Her face was filled with indescribable joy, as if the whole world was shrouded in happiness.

Then, Wei'er ran towards me like a happy little bird and hugged me tightly. I could feel her body trembling slightly with excitement, and her heartbeat was as rapid and powerful as a drum.

"For the first time, my livestream has over a million viewers! This is simply a miracle!" Wei'er's voice was filled with surprise and excitement, tears glistening in her eyes. She held my hand and shook it, as if trying to pass on this joy to me.

"This is something I never imagined. It's like a dream! Ahhhhh..." Wei'er couldn't help but scream, her emotions completely out of control, immersed in immense happiness. Her joy was also infected by me, and I laughed with her, celebrating this unforgettable moment with her.

We hugged each other tightly, spinning in circles with joy. At that moment, everything around us blurred, only our laughter and warm embrace were real. This wasn't just a successful livestream; it was a testament to Wei'er's hard work and dedication, and a precious memory of our shared growth.

"Sui Sui! Let's quickly tidy up the dishes on the table. After we're done, I'll take a look at the recipe video you shot. If there's no problem, we can just post it. It's a good opportunity to take advantage of this momentum to attract more traffic." As I said this, Wei'er and I moved the dishes on the table into the kitchen. There's no need to clean the stove! I always clean it up when I cook. Now all we have to do is mop the kitchen floor, and we're done!

After returning to the living room, I walked to the sofa and sat down, then skillfully turned on the laptop and placed it on the coffee table. Then, I clicked on the video I had just shot, ready to share it with Wei'er and discuss the next editing work.

Wei'er came over and curiously watched the video playing on the computer screen. As she watched carefully, she smiled and said to me, "Sui Sui, you filmed it really well! Much better than I expected. I originally thought you would be like some people who shoot videos without showing your face, staying in one position, without switching between long and short shots or close-ups of the food. But your filming skills are excellent, and you've taken every aspect into consideration, which makes the editing work much easier later on."

I was delighted to hear Wei'er's praise. After all, it's always a pleasure to receive recognition from professionals. So, following Wei'er's suggestion, I projected the computer's screen into the air. This way, we could see every detail of the video more comprehensively and clearly.

After completing these preparations, I took a deep breath, calmed myself, and immersed myself in the editing process. Wei'er sat quietly by my side, watching me work and occasionally offering constructive feedback and suggestions. Through this process, I gradually mastered more editing techniques and gained a deeper understanding of how to present a compelling food video.

Once the video was edited, we couldn't wait to post it on my account on Bilin. Even though these dishes had already been featured previously, and Wei'er had just tasted them live, since we'd decided to film the recipes, we had to persevere. You know, creating a successful account isn't easy; every account requires careful nurturing and gradual growth.

The moment the video uploaded successfully, Wei'er and I felt a sense of relief, our hearts instantly lightened. We exchanged a tacit glance, then couldn't help but smile, a smile filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. In that moment, it was as if we could see our efforts bearing fruit, and the path forward became clearer and more defined.

Relaxing, I decided to chat with Wei'er, a "native" interstellar person, about interstellar food culture. Knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. "Wei'er, tell me about the Empire's food culture. I want to understand interstellar food so that I can pay attention to it when cooking in the future." After hearing what I said, Wei'er was slightly stunned, but quickly adjusted her mood and started talking to me:

"Interstellar culinary culture is actually inherited from ancient Blue Planet. However, all of this changed due to a disaster... Ever since a relatively well-off country on Blue Planet began discharging nuclear wastewater in 2023, the planet's oceans have gradually become polluted. At first, the change was subtle, but over time, their discharge intensified, and 20 years later, the marine life in the waters near that country was completely inedible. Faced with this situation, powerful UN powers like Z, M, and Y began to issue explicit prohibitions against further discharges. Unfortunately, it was too late. Years of discharge had already caused irreversible damage—the Antarctic and Arctic glaciers had melted by half!"

Wei'er's tone was filled with helplessness and regret. She continued, "This disaster not only affected the marine ecosystem, but also caused a huge shift in the culinary culture of the Blue Planet. Due to the decline of marine biological resources, people have been forced to seek other food sources and develop cooking methods that adapt to the new environment. At the same time, governments have also strengthened their supervision of food safety to ensure that people have access to healthy food. Technological advances have also played an important role in this process, such as using gene editing technology to cultivate new ingredients or developing more efficient water treatment methods to purify polluted water sources."

In the fifty years since the release of the contaminated water, the once turbulent, vibrant ocean has become a dead sea. The vast majority of marine life has long since become extinct, and the few that remain, mutated and adapted to the toxic effects of the contaminated water, have become incredibly ferocious and terrifying. Humanity has lost all hope and faith in the ocean and has simply given up.

At the same time, highly corrosive acid rain frequently fell across the globe, dealing a severe blow to the already fragile ecosystem. However, over the next hundred years, science and technology on Blue Planet flourished at an unprecedented rate, but environmental problems only grew more severe. As time passed, the birth rate declined, and the population dwindled. After another 150 years, Blue Planet finally became completely uninhabitable. After over a century of persistent exploration, humanity finally discovered a new, habitable galaxy.

At this moment, various nations, led by Country Z, have successfully built manned spacecraft. Thanks to Country Z's effective national policies, the majority of its citizens are willing to follow the nation's lead to their new homeland. Only a few elderly people, whose persuasion proved fruitless, have chosen to remain on Blue Star. Other nations are purchasing quotas to participate in the migration plan. After determining the specific number of participants, each nation leads its people on this grand journey across the stars. Since the Empire's predecessor was Country Z on Blue Star, its culinary culture is somewhat more refined than that of other interstellar nations. Standard seasonings like salt, MSG, and soy sauce are readily available, and some restaurants can even prepare delicious dishes. However, interstellar society prioritizes efficiency and efficacy, and nutrient solutions are more suited to the current interstellar environment. Therefore, even with its predecessor, the Empire's food culture is only slightly better than that of other nations, but it's not like the food deserts I've read in interstellar fiction.
