The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead
Chapter 374 - 372 Give First

Chapter 374: Chapter 372 Give First

The first delivery was from an account named "Crazy for You."

She was actually a fan of the Text Mover, working as an editor, and very few books caught her liking. Later, when she discovered Little River Live, she immediately switched allegiances...

Oh, not switched, she became a fan of both.

Text Mover and Little River Live were her favorites.

She took the afternoon off today, so she got home a bit early. Just as she was about to open the door, she encountered the delivery robot.

After signing for the package, she brought it inside, but she had ordered so much, she couldn’t remember what it was.

However, the greatest respect for a package was to open it immediately, right away!

The woman took out a pair of special scissors for opening packages and tore into it.

Inside was the most ordinary interstellar box, reusable, made of natural wood, in a rectangular shape.

The woman violently tore open the box and regretted it afterward.

"Ah— it’s that... that... seedling."

The editor was so excited she couldn’t speak coherently, looking at the torn delivery box, she smacked her left hand with her right.

"Look what you’ve done, how am I going to post on Star Blog?"

Even though the female editor was murmuring to herself, she immediately took a photo of the delivery and posted it on her interstellar circle and Star Blog.

Crazy for You: Just received the seedlings, the seedlings are alive and fresh, detailed planting instructions included, ready to start planting! Looking forward to Tiantian’s sweet potatoes.

Since she had tagged Little River Live’s account, her post was quickly discovered by netizens who had been following the matter and began re-sharing it.

[Tiantian! The delivery has arrived!]

[Surprised? Didn’t Little River Live tell everyone at noon?]

[That’s the case, but it’s still shocking.]

[No kidding, does Little River Live really have 900 million seedlings?]

[What does 900 million seedlings even mean?]

[No, the most important thing you’re all ignoring—these are 900 million radiation-resistant seedlings!]

[That’s terrifying, does it mean we won’t have to drink nutrient liquid in the future, or spend a bunch of money on food and drink anymore!]

[It’s just sweet potatoes, not rice or wheat or anything!]

[Whatever it is, today it’s sweet potatoes, but maybe rice will come in the future?]

[I think Little River Live has shown me a real future, one where food and drink aren’t luxury goods.]

[I’m already filled with anticipation!]

[Anticipation? Shouldn’t there be an apology first? What did Mr. Xiao He do wrong to be criticized on Star Network for so many days?]

[Indeed, we owe them an apology; they didn’t do anything wrong.]

Owing Little River Live an apology shot up to the top of the trending searches, followed by various posts showcasing the delivered seedlings, each more unique than the last.

Regardless, they had delivered.

Imperial Palace.

The Crown Prince was in his office handling state affairs, listening to his subordinate’s report, when he paused with his pen.

It had finally begun.

He had been waiting, along with many others.

He was delighted about the shipment of 900 million seedlings; he didn’t care where Little River Live had gotten so many seedlings from, as long as it was good for the development of the interstellar.

However... the Crown Prince looked in a certain direction.

Some people must be getting anxious.

In a certain direction, not too far from the Imperial Palace.

Chi Family.

Chi Family Patriarch, Chi Zhong, also learned about the Little River Live news the moment it broke, and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.

"Family Head, what should we do?"

What to do?

What could they do?

Chi Zhong didn’t know what to do, as Little River Live’s sudden explosion had caught him off guard.

Previously they could only produce a few hundred kilograms of seeds, but now they were audaciously distributing sprouts for over nine hundred million people.

What baffled him the most was where all these sprouts were coming from.

The Chi Family were farmers, and every year, they dedicated a tremendous amount of manpower, mindpower, and financial resources to seedling cultivation, yet each time, only about thirty percent of the seedlings survived.

That meant, in ten years, the Chi Family hadn’t matched what Little River Live had distributed at once.

How had they managed it?

"There’s nothing to do, and nothing can be done," Chi Zhong waved his hand, signaling for the people below to leave first.

He understood that the Royal Family wanted to protect, or rather supported, Little River Live.

There wasn’t much he could do.

A monopolistic scene of food production was destined to have Little River Live share a part of the market.

However, Chi Zhong’s gaze was cold and full of intent; don’t think having seeds means everything is settled.

Without strength, one is always at the bottom in the interstellar realm.

Now, Chi Zhong had always thought Little River Live was not very powerful. Otherwise, why would they need to hide their location through various means?

Because they knew, once their location was exposed, Little River Live would be in danger.

"I actually want to see if you can keep hiding and not come out."

The Chi Family held off for now, but its subordinates, the Tang Family and the Nian Family, were a little panicked.

The Tang Family produced sugar, but now, Little River Live was taking a significant portion of their business.

Little River Live’s sugar was diverse, tasty, and not expensive.

Merely with White Sugar, Little River Live had already defeated the Tang Family without resistance.

Tang Family.

When the Tang Family Patriarch heard the news, he only asked one question,

"Has the mystery of White Sugar been figured out yet?"

As long as they could unravel the secret of White Sugar, the Tang Family would still have a chance to strike back.

"Family Head, we are decoding it; it should be soon..."

"’It should be soon...’ Useless! A bunch of useless people! Just go and focus on the research!"

The Tang Family Patriarch, furious, smashed a cup on one of his subordinates.

Yet, the person didn’t dare to move and simply bowed and withdrew.

Nian Family.

When the Nian Family Patriarch heard about it, he simply told his subordinates, "Keep calm, they just distributed more sprouts, but one per person won’t create a planting scale."

"I don’t believe that, after distributing so many, they can still have enough sprouts!"

That was the disbelief of the Nian Family, as well as the Tang and Chi Families.

How could Little River Live continue selling sprouts after distributing over nine hundred million?

Even if some people managed to grow them, it would be just one or two, consumed by themselves, not enough to form a planting scale.

Without a planting scale, could they really pose a threat to them?

It had to be said, the three families thought similarly, but they looked too closely.

At that moment, in the small wooden house, Dou Dou squatted next to Nian Shutong, watching the distribution scene across from them, and asked in confusion,

"Auntie, why are we sending so much stuff to them?"

Nian Shutong didn’t answer immediately but asked Dou Dou a question instead.

"There’s a restaurant that claims their food is delicious, always advertising foods you’ve never seen. Would you immediately try it?"

Dou Dou scrunched up her small face and shook her head.

"Probably not!"

"Well, what if they made a sample and let you try it for free, and you find out it’s really delicious; would you go then?"

"I probably would."

Nian Shutong looked at Dou Dou seriously and told him, "What auntie is doing now is just like what that restaurant is doing."
