Friends Hand in Hand~

While the buns steamed, he squeezed himself a glass of mixed fruit juice. With his skillful hands, he somehow gave it the effect of a cocktail, colorful and dazzling beneath the lights.

It was all done casually and took hardly any time at all.

Since the buns were small, they were ready ten-odd minutes after the water came to a boil. It was time to lift the lid.

A cloud of translucent white steam rushed at his face. When he looked closely, the pale white buns stood prettily in the pot, waiting. At that moment, Jing Yi suddenly felt deeply moved...

An Earthling had traveled all this way and steamed a pot of buns on an alien planet!

This was one small step for him, one giant step for the Mi Star people!

Jing Yi reverently took out the buns and arranged them on a plate. Together with the earlier dish and the fruit juice, he set them on the dining table. There was also a bone china dish of [pickles he had personally made]. This was his lunch for one.

It was very simple, but to the vast majority of Mi Star people, everything on that table was a luxury!

The working masses were all drinking nutrient solution, you know, you bastard!

And Jing Xiaoyi was quite full of zest for life. In one corner at the front of the small dining table sat a woven craft flower basket, with several lifelike artificial flowers arranged inside... Opposite it, a peerless beauty who had just washed his hands after cooking was preparing to enjoy his lunch—eh, the clothes he wore were a little strange. They were a style no one had seen before, but they looked beautiful—this entire scene was recorded by the camera, then compressed and edited down to a few minutes before being presented to his fans.

...Jing Yi ate lunch rather early. He had finished just after ten o'clock.

The buns were so delicious they made him cry, and the stir-fry was great too. They went together perfectly!

After eating, he used intelligent software to edit it, add voice-over, and upload it.

By the time he finished uploading, it was exactly eleven o'clock. Most Mi Star people were just about to take out their nutrient solution—eat! Lunch!

Their stomachs were still empty.

So, did you sense Jing Xiaoyi's sinister intentions?

He even added the voice-over in a bright, energetic tone—

"Hello, everyone. A new day has arrived, which means my new life has begun! Even if you're alone, you can't mistreat yourself, so I prepared lunch for myself... See this meat? You must think it costs a fortune, right? Let me keep you guessing for now. Actually, it really isn't nearly as extravagant as you think. It was very simple—the dish was stir-fried, and next came something I came up with myself: using nutrient powder to make flower-shaped buns... This was what they looked like after kneading, and this was what they looked like after coming out of the pot! Aren't they cute? Take a bite... Mmm~~~ They're delicious too!"

"This is my lunch. Does it look appetizing?"

"That's all for today. I hope you'll be happy all day long! See you tomorrow!"

There was not a single word of advertising in the whole video, but if this did not count as advertising, what did?

For a time, fans cursing Jing Xiaoyi spread across the Nine Planets of four star systems! They cursed him through tears!

How utterly heartless!

Tell me, was that even something a human would do?

At the same time, Jing Yi's late husband, Major Qin Meng, was in the middle of a miserable infiltration operation.

They needed to find an opportunity to enter Reverse Order's base without anyone noticing, then locate the coordinates of the other two bases.

Reverse Order had originally been a rampant yet cautious band of star pirates. Now that they had colluded with the Mi Star people's mortal enemies, the X-Star people, they had to be even more careful. If word got out and stirred up public outrage, their future would be bleak.

While they were still building up their strength, keeping quiet and getting rich was the right path.

Infiltration was both boring and nerve-racking.

The squad members browsed the internet.

They immediately saw the utterly heartless video Jing Xiaoyi had uploaded.

Look at the life he was living! What even was all that? It looked so tempting... Meanwhile, they ate nutrient solution for one meal and nutrient solution for the next, until their mouths were practically tasteless!

They stared at Eagle Bro with boundless resentment—how could you be so blessed as to marry a wife with such incredible cooking skills! You must have eaten your fill before, huh? Had you forgotten your oath to share good fortune with your brothers, you bastard!

Eagle Bro: "..."

Fuck, I'm hungry too, okay?!

Friends Hand in Hand~

Ever since Jing Yi became Major Qin's surviving spouse and spent two days pretending to be fresh and innocent online, the fans had been temporarily fooled by his highly deceptive appearance and... acting. They automatically classified him as a lovesick, pitiful little thing, to the point that they forgot all about how bizarre and fierce he had once been!

This had once been a badass who could take on ten thousand enemies alone!

He was actually rotten to the core!

He had nothing whatsoever to do with being a pitiful little thing!

No wonder he had such a goblin-like face. God would never lie; perhaps fate was trying to tell us that this guy's conscience was terribly rotten, so black it glowed purple. Noncombatants, please evacuate immediately!

Look, only three days had passed, and he had already revealed his true colors...

He posted a video like this at eleven o'clock. Could you believe him if he said he had no ill intentions?

His whole face screamed scheming and untrustworthiness!
