When a Blade of Grass Wants to Become Immortal

Chapter 214: Chapter 210: Interstellar Deserted Star Farm Woman 21

Ji Xiaosong’s debut live stream caused quite a stir. That same evening, the ten lucky winners from the drawing received their cucumbers, personally picked by Ji Xiaosong, just ten minutes later.

Less than fifteen minutes later, they were already posting on Star Sea Shell, the largest forum in the galaxy:

[Help! The Cucumbers Are Alive!] (Trending: 5.89 Billion)

User @HungryGhostReincarnation: ”You guys, you have NO idea! The moment I tore open the vacuum-sealed pack, this fresh, clean scent washed over me, and my spiritual power was instantly soothed. I’m officially her biggest fan from now on!”

[Proposal to Form a Research Society] (Trending: 5.23 Billion)

User @AncientBlueStarObsessive: ”My mind is blown! I ran a special test with my toxin detector, and I’m telling you, there are ZERO toxins!” (Holographic scan attached.)

[A Modern-Day Shennong Tries the Hundred Herbs] (Trending: 4.98 Billion)

User @InterstellarShennong: ”Risked death to gnaw on half of it raw. So far, so good. I’m still alive.”

[That Time I Got a Vegetable But Was Too Scared to Eat It] (Trending: 4.71 Billion)

User @CowardConnoisseur: ”Location: outermost ring of the Main Star. My front door is currently blocked by a mob of relatives and friends. Even my Photosynthesis Race neighbor is plastered to my windowsill, drooling chlorophyll... So, question: if I eat this cucumber raw, do I get to inherit the garden? Asking for a friend, urgent.”

[Cucumbers Can Actually Soothe Spiritual Power Instability] (Trending: 4.58 Billion)

User @MechaMechanic: ”My spiritual power was severely damaged from all the toxins in my food. I can’t believe that after eating this cucumber, it’s actually been soothed.”

[SHOCKING! Streamer Wields Cucumbers in Higher-Dimensional Attack on the Market!] (Trending: 4.38 Billion)

User @QuantumGourmand: ”The cucumber in our lab triggered a chain reaction! We’ve already run a detailed analysis and found it contained zero toxins from the start—which means there’s no chance of any developing as it grows. It’s a shame the seeds are sterile. Otherwise, we could’ve seen if it was possible to cultivate our own toxin-free cucumbers.”

Ji Xiaosong casually scrolled through the replies under each post. The voices of doubt were dwindling.

”Rongrong, I’m sure we’ll sell a good amount tomorrow morning. Once we do, we just need to scale up our operation, and then we can help even more people.”

”Yes, Song, you should get some sleep. We’re going to be incredibly busy tomorrow. Thank goodness interstellar shipping is so fast on both ends; it saves us a ton of time.”

After discussing for a little longer, Ji Xiaosong lay down and fell asleep.

She was pregnant, after all, and needed plenty of sleep.

Early the next morning, Ji Xiaosong started her live stream.

The moment Ji Xiaosong’s garden appeared on screen, viewers began flooding in.

”Streamer! Streamer! Can you post the link already? I haven’t eaten all night just waiting for a bite of this!”

”Yeah! I saw the posts from the winners yesterday. I was drooling with envy.”

”Drop the link! Drop the link!”

”We want to buy! We want to buy!”

Ji Xiaosong quickly calmed everyone down. ”Please be patient, everyone. I’m going to start picking and shipping orders live, one by one. The same rule as before applies: there’s a purchase limit for each person, so don’t even think about reselling. If I find anyone scalping, I’ll ban your ID.”

’Best to get the unpleasantries out of the way first. If anyone was still unhappy, they couldn’t blame her.’

”Now, let’s start by picking some cherry tomatoes. You can eat these raw. They have a nice, sweet-and-sour flavor. Limited to 10 orders.”

Ji Xiaosong posted the link for 10 orders, and they were gone in an instant.

”Congratulations to the following viewers. Now, I’ll pick and ship your orders one at a time.”

With that, Ji Xiaosong picked up a basket. ”One order is an eleven-pound package. The cherry tomatoes come in mixed colors, so you’ll get to taste every variety.”

Without looking at the live comments again, Ji Xiaosong focused on picking the cherry tomatoes.

For each order she picked, she would tap ’ship,’ and a black hole would materialize in front of her.

She’d place the basket of cherry tomatoes into the black hole, and the buyer would receive their order almost instantly.

Just like that, all ten orders were sent out in no time.

”HOLY CRAP! My tastebuds are exploding into a rainbow mist! My wisdom tooth suddenly stopped hurting!”

”As someone with an eating disorder, I just devoured three pounds in one go. I think there’s an interstellar concert happening in my stomach right now.”

”The sweet-and-sour flavor shot straight to the top of my skull. It’s a kind of bliss you just can’t understand.”

”Please, streamer, add more stock! We want to try them too!”

”WARNING! Do NOT eat these in public! I took one bite on a Starship, and the entire cabin started chasing me to lick my fingers.”

”The person above me, isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?”

”You people who didn’t get an order are just saying that because of sour grapes. If you’d tasted even a single one, you wouldn’t be saying that.”

Ji Xiaosong suppressed a laugh as she scrolled through the comments. She gave the honey peach in her hand a little shake and activated the stream’s taste-sharing function.

”Alright, everyone, next up are the honey peaches. I have a lot more of these, so I can fill 100 orders. Each order contains ten peaches.”

The camera suddenly zoomed in. Ji Xiaosong’s fingertips pressed into the soft fuzz of the peach, and a bead of amber nectar oozed from its pinkish-white skin.

”Three! Two! One...”

Before Ji Xiaosong could finish, the live chat erupted in a quantum storm.

[Live Chat]

”All mechs, activate auto-purchase protocol!”

”Main Brain, burn ten years of my life! Get me those peaches!!”

”FUCK! I just switched to my alt account and got booted by the interstellar anti-scalping system!”

”Honey, use your superpower to freeze time! We’re going to miss out!”

”Mom, please, I’m begging you, just turn me into a purchase-sniping bot!”

The instant the link went live, the back-end data stream flashed a crimson warning.

[System Announcement]

”Detecting 1.3 billion clicks per second. Star Network secondary circuit breaker triggered.”

”Congratulations to ’Mecha Disassembler’ for snagging the first order!”

Just as Ji Xiaosong finished speaking, a comment with a rainbow spiral special effect scrolled past:

”AHHHH! I hacked into an Insect Race satellite to piggyback on their connection speed, and I got one!” (ID: Interstellar Hacker ✔)

”This robot generated 114,514 virtual identities in 0.0001 seconds, only for the anti-fraud system to wipe them all out in one go. *sobs*” (ID: Sad Quantum Computer)

”Whose medical pod just ejected its patient? That was me, piloting my med-mech to hardwire into the net!” (Attachment: Screenshot of a hand with an IV drip blurring as it snags the purchase.)

”Just dunked my optical computer in liquid nitrogen to overclock it. The motherboard is crystallized, but I got the peach. Worth it!” (ID: Cyber_Mechanic’s_Ambition)

”Girls, quick, look at the Star Network trending topics! #TheGreatCosmicPeachHeist” (Attachment: Screenshot of the real-time trending list.)

Just then, a comment with a holographic special effect floated by—a full-screen takeover message from the top interstellar singer, Qiongding.

”I’ll trade the release rights to my new single for a peach! My agent is trying to kill me!” (ID: Galactic Diva Ling Guang)

”This space pirate hereby announces my temporary retirement. I’m begging the streamer to open up a special black market channel for me!” (ID: Rose Nebula’s Most Wanted)

”Location: Black Hole Monitoring Station. My hand slipped while trying to buy, and I broadcast the peach link instead of our coordinates. Now 100,000 researchers are cursing me out!” (Attachment: Screenshot of the black hole monitoring screen, covered in countless ”Sold Out” pop-ups.)

Ji Xiaosong put her head in her hand as she watched the insane logistics information scroll by. ”To the sweetie who’s coming to pick up their order in an interstellar mother ship, could you please retract the Star Destroyer Cannon! Our black hole delivery doesn’t use any fuel!”

Suddenly, the chat lit up with a golden firework effect.

”Thank you, streamer, for curing my twenty years of terrible reflexes!” (ID: The Unlucky One’s Hope)

”I just got a peach and he proposed! He said a man who can win a flash sale is the sexiest man alive!” (Attachment: A honey peach nestled inside a diamond ring box.)

Ji Xiaosong chuckled, holding up the last peach. ”To all the sweeties who didn’t get one, don’t worry. You can plant the pit from this one and grow...”

Before she could finish, the chat was suddenly flooded with a single, massive message spammed in blood-red text:

”DROP THE PIT! I’LL TRADE YOU AN ANTIMATTER ENGINE FOR IT!!”
