Chapter 147: Your Information Is So Sluggish

Under a popular post with tons of replies, the veggie camp and the meat camp had started a war.

A high-strung, seemingly paranoid young man said: Dumplings without meat in the filling are heresy!

Another user, who seemed more mature and level-headed and didn’t overuse exclamation points, retorted: Meat-filled dumplings are delicious too, but you can’t just call vegetarian egg-skin dumplings heresy. They’re very good.

—No, they’re not!

—You can say you don’t think they’re as good as meat dumplings, but you can’t just state that they’re not good in such an absolute, dismissive way.

—They’re just not good!

—They are both very good. I just think the vegetarian egg-skin dumplings are a cut above.

The two of them, one agitated and the other calm, bickered back and forth for over a hundred posts. They kept repeating the same points over and over, and the high-strung youth finally lost his temper.

—What is wrong with you! Arguing with me about this!

—?

—You think I’m the one with a problem?

—Yeah, I want to take a look at what’s wrong with your *tongue*! To actually think vegetarian dumplings are good... what kind of Genes do you have? Are you some kind of herbivore? Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!

—I thought we were just arguing about dumplings, but you actually brought Genes into this. It seems you’re this aggressive when you talk at school, too. No wonder you have issues with your roommate.

’This boring argument is suddenly taking a very interesting turn!’

And just like that, the previously lukewarm post suddenly blew up.

—???! WTF, who are you?

—Do you always use the same profile picture for your social media accounts?

—Are you some asshole impersonating a teacher to screw with me? I don’t believe it!

—^_^ Please come to office A33-7011 after class tomorrow. I’ll be waiting for you.

The high-strung youth cowardly backed out of the showdown, but it was useless. Experienced onlookers had already saved the chat logs. Scrolling down, you could see his confident bluster, while scrolling up, you saw: "Delete, delete, delete." The contrast was hilarious.

Everyone spammed "Hahaha" in the replies and went back to discussing whether fresh meat dumplings or vegetarian egg-skin dumplings were better.

Everyone still stuck to their guns, but at least the arguing had stopped.

After the thread rapidly gained a ton of new posts, an "uninvited guest" suddenly appeared.

—You guys on Garbage Star just get internet? Look at the time! And you’re still arguing about how dumplings taste? Do you have any idea what just happened? Get out of this thread and take a look around! The world’s been turned upside down on Juju Star!!!!

—???

Confused, everyone backed out of the thread and refreshed their feeds. The community was already dominated by new, trending topics.

#RealFood!?ANewWayToBeHappy!#

#LuckOverStarCoins?!JujuIsTheBest!#

#ABanquetForTheUnlucky?!Mom,I’mCrying.TheUnluckyFinallyGetTheirDay!#

Those in the know immediately jumped into the new threads to comment, while everyone else was completely lost, their minds filled with question marks.

’What the heck is going on?’

Driven by curiosity, they clicked into the threads to read the details, and every single one of them was stunned!

Real food?

Given away for free?

After all this information had time to marinate and go viral, a few more "strange" trending topics appeared on their feeds.
