Was everyone curious?
Of course they were. Everyoneâs human, how could they not be?
But this curiosity was limited to discussions within their community, and it died down when nothing came of it. After all, wasnât the food delicious? Could they even manage to snag a slot every day? What if they made Juju unhappy and she cut the daily slots by a hundred or two hundred million? Would they have to go to heaven to find a meal?
âThese paid commenters are so damn boring. Who would be stupid enough to get on Jujuâs bad side?
âTheyâre so annoying. What if Juju gets upset? I count on her food to go with my Nutrient Liquid every day. So annoying.
âAll this whining. I just want to know where this latest wave of paid commenters is coming from. Why donât we just crowdfund and buy out this crappy studio? Theyâre so irritating.
Everyone vented their anger in the community.
Then, some goofball from who-knows-what-school suddenly appeared and asked a question:
âDisclaimer: Iâm just asking, no ill will, and this isnât a malicious guess about Juju. Iâm just curious. Everyone says Juju doesnât show her face because sheâs not that good-looking, so I was wondering (whispering)... would she like a handsome guy whoâs got a pretty face but is otherwise useless?
Iâm half-tempted to try living off my looks... by offering my, uh, *services*.
The moment the comment was posted, it caused a huge stir.
Yeah, apparently (and this is the key part), people tend to like things they donât have. So, if Juju wasnât that good-looking, would she be really into handsome guys?
Would she be willing to support a bunch of male university students who were good-looking but useless at everything else?
The comment instantly went viral. Some mischief-maker seized the opportunity and quickly started a new thread in the community: [Would you like someone who isnât that good-looking but has amazing cooking skills and is as cute as Juju?]
âThanks for the invite, here to answer the question. OP, are you dreaming? I know itâs nighttime, but youâre dreaming way too big.
The second poster, however, answered the question quite seriously.
âWhat nonsense is this? What does being pretty or not have to do with anything? Iâm specifically looking for someone ordinary-looking. So, Juju, when are you going to tell me your address?
Starting from the third reply, the thread went off-topic again.
âEveryoneâs being too subtle. Allow me to be more direct! I, Zhou Zheng, campus heartthrob of Luo Fei Military Academy, am skilled at pounding meat patties, kneading dough, and rolling meatballs. Iâm also great at uploading tasting slots (though I do occasionally lose some data during the upload). Below is my photo. If I catch your eye, Juju, you can DM my terminal: 3...58ac..luofei.

It actually seemed pretty tempting!
And so, a second person quickly appeared.
âSame as the guy above. As men, we should be more direct! I, Dong Mo, class heartthrob of Federation Universityâs College of Art. While Iâm not good at kneading dough, rolling meatballs, or pounding meat patties, Iâm an expert at cinematography. My skills leave camera bots 280 blocks in the dust. Below is my photo. If youâre interested, you can add my terminal: 00..54....
Attached photo: A man in a black hat, trench coat, and medium-length hair tied in a half-ponytail held an antique-style camera in one hand. The camera obscured half his face, but the visible part revealed thin lips and phoenix eyesâthe very picture of refined handsomeness.
âFollowing the last guy. I have no name and no school. I donât know how to do anything; I only know how to make a lady happy. No need for tens of thousands of Star Coins, just provide three meals a day. I can tell you "I love you" every day. Interested? Add terminal: 22..111xx...
Attached photo: A beautiful young man resting his chin on his hand, a surprised smile on his face.

The first one appeared, then the second, and the third.
How long until the Nth and the NNth showed up?
The thread quickly shot to the top of the trending list in Jiang Jiujiuâs community, a bizarre mix of goofy comedy and handsome men. When the members of Qingshan Green Water Studio logged in, the first thing they saw was this thread that sounded even more like paid trolls than they did.
Then they clicked on it and saw: ???
What kind of bizarre species of fans were these?
