Chapter 65: Chapter 65 – Mukbang Time!
Chapter 65: Chapter 65 – Mukbang Time!
After Max watched Nina disappear into a kitchen, he went to the inconspicuous corner and set his camera down, facing him. The wireless microphone was clipped on his collar, and he observed the livestream room with a small screen he brought in front of him.
The number of viewers increased to 4,500, and they were quite impatient and asked him to start the stream soon.
Why? Simple.
The other streamers who also joined the program would only stream at 8 PM, unlike Max, who usually started at 6. The two of them, Ronin Knight and MadLad, also didn't stream today as their residences were far from New Eden City.
As for StoneSword, he announced that he would only stream after the program was over. He mentioned he wanted to do training with LilyPixel as the opponents couldn't be underestimated.
That was why curious viewers and people joined Max's livestream. They wanted to hear directly about the program from the participants.
'It's ready.'
All equipment was set. All Max needed to do was to change the loading screen to the camera one.
The streaming screen changed. It showed Max jumping and spinning a few times, cutting the screen and transitioning it to the camera one.
"Hello, guys! Hahaha, I finally showed my face in the livestream. How do you like my new loading screen?"
— That was awesome!
— Damn! The transition was smooth and sick!
— … This guy is really good-looking
— Breeze's face… This maidenless knight has such a handsome feature
— Hyaa! Breeze! Marry me!!
The chat exploded at once at his greeting. It moved so fast that Max couldn't really read all of them, unlike before.
'4000 viewers might be too much… But thankfully, I can slow it down on another screen and actually read some of the chat. I might need to make a slow mode for my chat soon, putting 10 seconds of cooldown for each chat.'
That was already late for this livestream, so he needed to work around this for now.
"Hahaha, you guys are rowdy. This time, I want to talk about this morning's announcement and about the next game I should play. Oh, right now I am also in a restaurant to eat, so we will do a mukbang too. Let me tell you, this Rush Noodle is really good, and I am looking forward to eating it again."
— It sounds like an ad
— Rush Noodle? I never heard of it
— This guy has been getting ads! Damn, it's not even a week since your first stream!
"Actually, it's my fifth day today." Max smiled at the camera, "I started streaming at 5th, and it's now 10th. And no, it's not an ad. I just visited the restaurant I often went to, and the waitress allowed me to stream here. Hahaha, the noodles are also good, so I planned to have dinner too."
— Excuses
— Sounds like a lie, but I will believe you!
— I am the noodle consoeur. If you show me bad noodles, be prepared for the setback!
Max's smile froze after reading the last chat. It was what he feared too.
Advertising food was a bit risky. Some people would like it, and some would hate it. Taste was relative depending on people, and it could even put the restaurant at risk if many attacked it with a 1-star rating in the maps or food catalog applications.
'There are people like him.' He thought as he coughed into his hand.
He had expected as much, so he wasn't really surprised.
Besides, he was pretty confident in Chef Rush's noodles. Nothing could beat it.
As someone who had eaten it since he was still in junior school, Max could guarantee that much.
"Now, now, I will open the Q&A section. I have prepared links to have your questions listed, so fill it up while I am waiting for my meal."
Having said that, Max operated the screen, pasted the link he prepared this morning in the chat, and pinned it on top. It was a form that only allowed one person to ask one question.
An artificial intelligence automatically sorts similar questions, making it tidier.
As soon as he posted the link, the questions were entered one by one. Max leaned back on the chair and waited as he hummed happily.
At that moment…
"Thanks for waiting!"
A voice rang in the direction of the kitchen, which was also visible from the camera's angle.
— Oh?
— Huh?
— The waitress is cute!
— Damn! Rush Noodle, I need to find its location ASAP!
— Hey, girl. You want to get going with our Breeze? He's mine!
— ^^ Gay
— B-B-B-Breeze, tell us the location of the restaurant right now!
The response immediately changed once the viewers saw Nina wearing casual clothes and an apron. Her smile managed to catch the viewers' hearts at once.
"Ooh, the noodles we are waiting for have arrived." Max opened his arms and welcomed the mountain of noodles on the tray with a big smile, ignoring the chat.
He gestured to Nina not to call his real name by putting his finger on his lips. She understood it immediately and put the tray on the table.
"Here is the extra large Rush Special you ordered. The drink will be here shortly, so enjoy it!" She said, carefully putting a bowl that was filled… No, it overflowed with red noodles in front of Max.
"Thank you, Miss Waitress." He smiled at her and winked playfully, "The chat said you are pretty cute. Can I get your number for them?"
— Oooh! Breeze is striking!
— Did it get through? The cute waitress' face turns red!
— It worked! This damn handsome monster is trying to get the girl!
— Refuse him! Let him be maidenless forever!
"Surely you jest." Nina giggled, her face flushed slightly red from embarrassment. "I-I need to prepare your drink, so please enjoy your meal."
With that, she turned around and ran back into the kitchen.
— He's rejected
— It failed, no?
— Hahahahaha! Good game!
— Does that mean I have a chance with that cute waitress?
— Dream on, kid. Even this handsome monster was rejected!
— But, the waitress' face is red, isn't it? Doesn't that mean she's just shy? Or is she falling for Breeze?! Tell me that she's not!
— Could be. Shy and cute. How wholesome…
At the same time, Max also felt embarrassed. If not for the trick he learned from watching poker face tutorials, his face would definitely have a red tinge.
'That was so awkward!' He screamed in his mind as he took chopsticks from the bowl.
"Cough," He cleared his throat and looked at the camera. "Forget about the waitress from earlier, guys. Look at this dish. It looks so good."
— Don't worry, Breeze. We're also maidenless
— Lmao, he changed the topic
— We wanted to talk to that waitress again!
— Let the waitress talk again!
Reading the chat, the corner of Max's lips twitched.
'These guys! All they think are girls!'
But that was how men were.
— Breeze, you can just go to my home. It's here [address]. I will be waiting for you wearing a naked apron
— Don't worry, Breeze! I am willing to take you in.
— You can cry in my bosom, baby.
Correction. The girls were also hungry for boys.
Ignoring them, Max began to eat the noodles with a satisfied expression. The slurping sounds made the viewers gulp. They all thought of one thing.
— It looks delicious
