Countless passersby clicked into the promotional message that suddenly appeared at the top of the Star Net rankings. The hottest one belonged to the Interstellar Alliance Tourism Department.
"Interstellar Alliance Tourism Department: Everyone, come and see! The Tourism Department has recently discovered a new treasure~ on a remote small planet. The streamer is currently live, and interested friends can try to enter the lottery~ [Link] [Image]"
Usually, the Tourism Department recommended local delicacies and some less popular tourist attractions within the galaxy, but they never garnered the attention they did today.
The viewership quickly reached 1 million, almost making the person on duty that day beam with joy.
Unfortunately, Blue Star's specific coordinates could still not be found. Many people clicked in only to be led to a 404 interface, forcing them to follow the Tourism Department's link.
Lu Mingming's livestream room received a massive boost in popularity, with her follower count nearing 180,000.
It was still working hours, and most people hadn't noticed this news.

However, Lu Mingming was content to bring 200,000 followers to Blue Star on the first day.
She kept greeting the new viewers.
As for the viewers who had just entered the livestream, they were mostly asking the same familiar questions. Before Lu Mingming could answer, the older viewers automatically helped her lighten the load.
Considering the time, it was almost ready.
Lu Mingming called for two burly men to carry the steamer.
The steamer, placed on the hot pot, was scalding hot from the steam. Lu Mingming specifically instructed them, "Put on heat-resistant gloves before operating. Don't take risks."
The two burly men nodded obediently. They squatted down, engaged their cores, and slowly lifted the four-layer steamer to a nearby open space.
White steam billowed from the gaps in the bamboo woven steamer, floating upwards, accompanied by the scent of osmanthus.
The freshly made osmanthus cakes were incredibly fragrant, with specks of fragrance dotting the smooth, white surface of the cakes, like embroidered flowers blooming on velvet.
Lu Mingming took out the prepared syrup and osmanthus, dripping it onto each cake, leaving a caramel-colored mark.

The syrup intertwined with the osmanthus on the surface of the cakes, sliding down the edges. The trembling, fragrant aroma spread, winding and lingering, making one's mouth water.
Lu Mingming beckoned to the little boy.
He was wearing the same style of clothes as her, creating a warm, family atmosphere. The fluffy accessories and realistic ears further emphasized the cub's softness and innocent nature.
Today, the little boy was Lu Mingming's little actor, playing the role of a heartwarming little star.
"Come and try the osmanthus cakes. They're ready."
The steamed osmanthus cakes could be easily picked up with large tongs, one piece at a time, and placed on a plate.
Orange-yellow osmanthus covered the surface of the pale cakes, hot and emitting a fresh aroma.
The rich fragrance of osmanthus was preserved within the cakes. The little boy stared intently at the osmanthus cakes on the plate, involuntarily swallowing and calling out crisply to the camera, "Let's let older brothers and sisters try them first."
He picked up a small piece with wooden chopsticks and held it up to the camera.
This was taught to him by Sister Lu Mingming, who said it would bring them closer.

As expected, with an obedient cub "showing filial piety," the aunts in front of the screen had their hearts melted, and they spontaneously accepted the titles of older brothers and sisters, even sending some small gifts.
After the performance, the little cub truly couldn't resist. He restrained himself and popped the osmanthus cake into his mouth.
As soon as it entered his mouth, the osmanthus cake melted. Eating the first bite while it was still hot, he could taste the crust on the surface. When his teeth gently pressed down, it was like loose foam, smooth and soft.
The osmanthus fragrance permeated it perfectly. The cake was soft and not greasy, delicate and translucent.
It was more fragrant and endlessly flavorful than fish head meat without bones.
The little boy's eyes widened. He had promised to savor it carefully in front of the camera, but he broke his promise and ate several large mouthfuls as if gulping down food, trying to quell the emptiness brought by his desire.
The cub's eyes sparkled like starlight. Forgetting the camera, he proactively took Lu Mingming's hand and swayed side to side, acting spoiled, "Sister, it's really too delicious!! Older brothers and sisters must think the same as me!!
So... can I have another piece—"
After saying that, the little cub looked at the camera pitifully, as if truly making eye contact with all the viewers.
[Cactus Flower: You've melted me! Let him eat!!!]

[Spicy Chopped Fish Head: Is this today's limited edition set? I don't care anymore, not only am I going to get a ticket today, but I'm also going to get this limited edition set!!]
[I Love My Daughter: This is terrifying. The number of viewers has reached 300,000. Who would believe that there were less than five people when I started following her?]
[Strawberry Bear: Hahaha, the upstairs is really lucky. It used to be that we could quietly enjoy the streamer's delicious food. This treasure streamer has finally been discovered by us!]
The bullet comments were lively, all discussing Lu Mingming.
The most important aspect, of course, was the lottery. The little cub had activated the holographic transmission. It seemed as if this delicious osmanthus cake had entered their stomachs.
But in reality, their stomachs were still empty and unsatisfied.
Someone tried to suggest that Lu Mingming open a shop.
Lu Mingming's eyes curved, and she replied gently, "It will be a while. We don't have enough staff at the moment. I'm truly sorry."
Shops on Blue Star would eventually be opened. Before opening, they would need to find sufficient manpower or adapt the methods to be suitable for contemporary interstellar needs to meet the demand for large orders.
Otherwise, it might lower Blue Star's reputation.

This time, Lu Mingming adopted a strategy of scarcity marketing. One reason was the insufficient manpower; it was very strenuous for her alone to make limited edition osmanthus cakes.
The viewers didn't blame her and eagerly awaited the lottery.
Lu Mingming picked up another osmanthus cake and fed it to the little cub beside her. The little boy couldn't stop eating, his small belly bulging into a little bun.
The viewers who could only watch but not eat resignedly faced the takeout they casually ordered at work or leftovers from yesterday, feeling a surge of frustration.
Why was it so difficult to eat something good?!
Lu Mingming clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention: "Let's start the lottery~"
The lottery was always the most attractive part. Those who were observant could see the clear value exceeding the price, and the special limited edition label greatly increased the item's value. Even before the tickets were obtained, scalpers were planning to inflate the ticket price to 300,000!
Upon receiving the news, everyone held their breath, waiting for the lottery.
Lu Mingming counted down: "3—"
"2—"
"1—"
As soon as she finished speaking, the system's automatic lottery machine began to spin. The long-unseen premium gift effects reappeared, giving Lu Mingming a sense of nostalgic familiarity.
It turned out that there were still many influential fans hidden among the crowd. Several people sent VIP exclusive spaceships.
The dense barrage of bullet comments mingled with the gift effects as they drifted by. Lu Mingming couldn't even clearly read a single sentence.
People frantically spent money to send gifts, creating popularity for Lu Mingming's livestream, hoping that the pointer of the roulette would eventually stop on their names.
Fortunately, Lu Mingming did not set a very long lottery time. This encounter finally ended after two minutes.
As soon as it ended, Lu Mingming quickly opened the backend system and read out the names from the list.
"The list for the limited-time osmanthus cake lottery has been released. Let's congratulate: Tomorrow Needs to Work, Darkness Under the Lamp, Monkey Scooping the Moon, Sea Snake is Not Seaweed..."
Lu Mingming's mouth became dry halfway through reading. She should have printed the list and had the system send private messages one by one.
After drinking some water, she continued reading. When her mouth became dry from spitting again, it was the end.
Discussion Group 563743675
Lu Mingming said, "The lucky viewers for this lottery are as listed above. Thank you everyone for supporting Blue Star's tourism industry. I'll be waiting for you on Blue Star!!
Friends who weren't chosen, don't be discouraged. Blue Star will hold many more events in the future.
I will be livestreaming the entire process on the opening day, acting as the first tour guide to lead everyone to the scenic spots."
With that said, the viewers reluctantly and unwillingly chose to stop. They switched to the Star Net forums to complain.
[Help, the Blue Star lottery has ended, and I didn't win a single ticket. I got a limited edition osmanthus cake... I really want to visit Blue Star.]
As soon as this statement was made, 99+ replies immediately popped up.
[It's great that you got the osmanthus cake. I'm willing to pay 3,000 star coins for it.]
[I can offer 5,000 here.]
[Please don't inflate the price casually. I'll offer 6,000 here.]
Suddenly, there was "war" everywhere.
