Chapter 138 - 138: Guess

Translator: 549690339

Thinking that he should go ahead, the boy exited the video and entered the Traveler’s homepage.

Then, he clicked on the private message icon.

This way, he could speak directly with the Traveler.

After formulating his thoughts, he described the trouble his family was facing in the private message and expressed that he was hopeful the Traveler might be able to help.

[… If you’re willing to help, I can offer ]

The boy reluctantly wrote down all the pocket money he had saved over the years.

He hoped that this amount could move the Traveler…

Checking the message twice more, he finally clicked ‘send’.

After sending the message, the boy let out a sigh of relief, but with it came a new sense of nerves.

He then opened Qin Lang’s most viewed video to collect information that might give more insight into the uploader.

Before long, he found a user named “Dove” in the earliest comments. It seemed to be another video uploader.

By following the trail, the boy jumped to Jiang Bai’s homepage and began viewing corresponding videos.

After rewatching the video where Jiang Bai meets Qin Lang, the boy breathed a sigh of relief.

If the video wasn’t scripted, the uploader named Qin Lang seemed to be quite easy-going in his private life.

That being the case, it increased the likelihood of him accepting the boy’s request.

Failing to find any more leads, the boy turned off his phone.

In his eyes was something called “hope”.

[The “Traveler” you follow has published new videos]

Seeing the notification shown on his lit-up phone, the actions of Liu Tianchen, who had been preparing for a Food Fight in the kitchen scheduled in two days’ time, slightly paused.

“Qin Lang has updated a new video? At this hour?”

He cleaned his hands and started checking up on his phone.

“Bu Yi~”

Liu Tianchen’s Food Spirit also leaned into the screen with curiosity.

Both the spirit and its human companion quickly finished watching the video.

Liu Tianchen swallowed, “These big meat buns look so delicious.”

The Food Spirit nodded in agreement.

Just watching their two friends enjoy a hot pot lunch together was already making it feel hungry.

“But this may spell trouble for us.” Liu Tianchen became a bit serious at the thought. “The big meat buns – they are a type of pasta.”

Pasta was the theme for his upcoming Food Fight with Qin Lang.

“I think Qin Lang may use it as his dish for the Food Fight.” Liu Tianchen drew the conclusion, “The good thing is that he is also a YouTuber, so we have advanced knowledge of this important intelligence.”

Although the opponent was strong, Liu Tianchen had chosen to challenge him and would fight with all his might.

“So now, we need to practice even harder!”

“BuYi!”

Seemingly inspired by the fighting spirit shown by Liu Tianchen, the Food Spirit nodded heavily.

“Ziya~”

With a serious look on his face, Liu Shuang walked into the house.

“Dad, you’re back home. Have you had dinner yet?” Liu Tianchen walked out of the kitchen.

“Not yet.” Liu Shuang shook his head.

“Then try the food 1 just prepared and give me some feedback!”

“Alright!”

Taking the dishes prepared by his son, Liu Shuang’s serious expression melted like snow. His hunger drove him to wolf down Liu Tianchen’s dinner, and afterward, he gave his suggestions.

Seeing his son carefully noting down each of his suggestions, Liu Shuang hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Tianchen, the Association has some important matters to deal with, so 1 might not be able to come home from tomorrow onwards. This will likely last until the Youth Training Competition ends.”

“Your work is important, Dad.” Liu Tianchen nodded understandingly. “My senior brothers and 1 will manage the dojo.”

“By the way, I am having a Food Fight with Qin Lang the day after tomorrow. The theme is pasta.”

“Even though I can’t be there to watch, 1 will cheer for you.” Liu Shuang patted Liu Tianchen’s shoulder. The pressure brought by the Star Hunter notice seemed to alleviate quite a bit at that moment.

“I declare! These big meat buns are my new favorite!”

Qi Xiaoyu’s eyes were gleaming as she held up her big meat bun, a look of bliss on her face.

Although she could already imagine how delicious the buns would be from just watching the video, she only realized she had severely underestimated them when she was actually biting into one.

On the other hand, Zhao Chen didn’t say a word. He was several bites into his fourth big meat bun.

As Qin Lang had predicted, the Adolescent had slept off his cold, and now he was back to his vibrant self, eating voraciously.

Du Weiwei leisurely finished her second bun and, looking curiously at Qin Lang, asked, “Does the big meat bun count as pasta? Will you be using it for your Food Fight the day after tomorrow?”

Upon hearing her question, Qi Xiaoyu and Zhao Chen simultaneously stopped eating, their curious gazes fixed on Qin Lang.

“Well…” Qin Lang rubbed his chin.

He had considered this question while making the buns.

However, in his view, making big meat buns tonight was simply to fulfill his promise to Dan Bao and had nothing to do with the Food Fight.

He had already filmed the bun-making process and uploaded a video about it and he presumed Liu Tianchen must’ve seen it.

So, during the Food Fight, he planned to surprise the latter.

“I haven’t decided yet.” Qin Lang answered honestly. “If 1 don’t come up with any other choice by the time of the Food Fight, 1 might use it.”

Du Weiwei, catching the meaning between his words, glanced at Qin Lang in surprise, “It seems 1 can look forward to tasting new dishes.”

“What kind of guessing game are you two playing?” Qi Xiaoyu blinked, finishing the bun in her hand. “Qin Lang’s Food Fight is the day after tomorrow, and the Youth Training Competition is the day after that. Shouldn’t we relax and have fun somewhere tomorrow?”

“All you think about is having fun.” Du Weiwei playfully smacked Qi Xiaoyu’s head, “Don’t you have to prepare for the Food Fight and the selection competition?”

“Hey~” Qi Xiaoyu waved her off, “The more one is under stress, the more one should relax. This is called combining work with rest!”

“I have a feeling you already have a place in mind, don’t you?” Du Weiwei raised an eyebrow, knowing her best friend better than anyone else.

“Correct!” Qi Xiaoyu chuckled, “Today, when i was on the cable car, I noticed a snow slope mid-mountain at Bai Lu Mountain that seems perfect for skiing. Apparently, there are places nearby where you can rent skiing gear too.” “Skiing, wow!” her face was full of anticipation, “Don’t you guys want to try it?” At that, Du Weiwei appeared tempted.

Noticing her best friend wavering, Qi Xiaoyu enthusiastically took Du Weiwei’s arm,”Doesn’t Little Glutinous Rice’s combined skills have something to do with ice and snow? Training on a snow-covered slope would be most appropriate.” “Well… alright.” Du Weiwei was successfully convinced.

Next, Qi Xiaoyu turned her gaze towards Zhao Chen.

“I’ll go too!” Zhao Chen’s face took on a proud look. “As an excellent training master, skiing is a must-have skill.”

With that said, all three of them turned their eyes to Qin Lang.

Seeing Dan Bao and Spicy, who were eager to join in, Qin Lang shrugged.

“Alright.”
