Du Xixi’s life has always been peaceful, at least that’s what she thought. The Empire and troubles that came her way were merely essential spices in life. As a chef, Du Xixi was best at using those spices to highlight the most fundamental deliciousness of ingredients.

Her life was like awaiting the highlighting of deliciousness, an ingredient.

During summer vacation, Du Xixi’s original plan of staying home turned into a three-point routine—occasionally exchanging experiences with a few professors from Blue Star University and the Food Department, checking on the improvements in the Military Department’s cafeteria now and then, and spending the remaining time taking care of the kids, making food at home, and discussing the establishment of a culinary experience area with the Star Network.

This was supposed to happen months ago, but Ke Lian had an incident, and Du Xixi was not in good condition. Although the Star Network intended to establish the area, the cooperating personnel almost collapsed due to illness. So, they sent the head of the planning department to relay the message, saying they would discuss the matter once Du Xixi’s health recovered sufficiently.

Du Xixi had actually temporarily forgotten the matter because Ke Lian’s incident happened so coincidentally that she directly chose Ke Lian’s side. The establishment of the culinary experience area was naturally pushed to the back of her mind.

But now that Ke Lian and the others had returned, those who should work went back to work, those who should take a break went on vacation. Even Du Xixi went to Blue Star University and the Military Department’s cafeteria for a few days occasionally. Seeing this situation, the head of the planning department of the Star Network contacted Du Xixi without hesitation via the Light Computer.

Du Xixi had always been willing to serve as a culinary advisor for the culinary experience area. Once the topic was brought up again, she apologized to the Star Network, and the two parties cooperated. It was expected that within ten days, the culinary experience area could be synced online across the All-Star Network.

This was quite a significant event, led by the Star Network and the Blue Star Empire, with Du Xixi, a top chef, as an advisor. As soon as the news was released, it sent the All-Star netizens into a frenzy.

The Blue Star Empire and a few neighboring friendly nations had tasted the food, and amidst their surprise and anticipation, anticipation undoubtedly took the upper hand. As for most other empires, they never had the opportunity to taste the cuisine, only occasionally bypassing barriers to visit the Blue Star Empire’s Star Network District to watch Du Xixi’s livestream videos, tasting the delicacies through the Perception Sharing Space.

For them, not having tasted it in reality meant they hadn’t really eaten the delicacies. Though the culinary experience area wouldn’t count as tasting them personally, eating through holograms felt more realistic than just watching livestreams.

The netizens settled for less, although anticipating the culinary experience area’s launch. Initially, many were bewildered by excitement. However, "too much happiness leads to sadness" became apparent at this point.

Previously, secretively bypassing barriers to watch livestreams was largely ignored by the Star Network. But now expressing excitement and joy directly with the Blue Star Empire’s netizens couldn’t be ignored. The responsible parties immediately blocked the Light Brain Numbers of nearly half the interstellar netizens.

A storm of blood swept across the Star Network, unbearably "brutal"!

Although Du Xixi accessed the Star Network, she mostly communicated with the head of the planning department about the culinary experience area. Occasionally, she would log in through holographic devices to check out the beta version’s performance. Therefore, the netizens with blocked accounts, despite being a hot topic daily, were truly unknown to Du Xixi.

Even on the day the culinary experience area launched, Du Xixi was unaware of this situation. She changed into stylish and appropriate attire, because the holographic devices read everyone’s real-world appearance. After logging into the Star Network, she saw the already familiar head of the planning department in the culinary experience area.

This was a senior with a kind face past middle age. Du Xixi respected him. The head of the planning department was actually also a Blue Star Empire citizen. However, being part of the Star Network, he couldn’t show favoritism toward any empire, not even the Blue Star Empire, his birthplace. Hence, in daily interactions, he merely treated Du Xixi a bit better.

"Your Highness, in ten minutes it will officially launch. Which area do you think everyone will prefer?" The head of the planning department of the Star Network had a gentle gaze, but Du Xixi could vaguely see the respect he had for her. It was the respect a citizen of the Blue Star Empire had for the Imperial Family.
