For the final episode of "The Cooking Deity is Here!", the audience didn't skip even the end credits. After all, once it ended, they weren’t sure of a next season, and even if there was, their favorite contestants might not return.

Watching with a heavy heart, they first got a delightful surprise, then another bigger one.

【New arrivals at Celestial Feast, rush in!】

【Ah! Celestial Feast has a midnight launch again! I'm a real person, and Celestial Feast is really sly!】

【I'm not trying this time. Slowpokes like me always miss out.】

【Ladies, hurry! Heard this time it's from a new factory, so there’s plenty of stock!】

【Really?! I'm on it!】

The viewers swiftly navigated to the Celestial Feast official website, and this time, they truly made a successful purchase!

In the past, products often sold out in seconds. But this time, the transaction was completed without a hitch.

Sun, who often worked night shifts, hastily checked out, only to realize he had forgotten to increase the quantity of his favorite three-delight dumplings and had ordered just one pack.

One pack surely wouldn’t suffice. But after several minutes, he was sure they would have sold out.

Despite this thought, Sun, unwilling to give up, revisited the product page, and to his astonishment, it was still in stock!

It seemed there really was a surplus this time. Elated, Sun added ten bags of dumplings to his cart, chose two jars of spicy sauce in different flavors, checked out, and finally went to bed satisfied.

Bookish Pavilion

Although the first batch from the new factory was plentiful, the overwhelming demand from food lovers from all corners caused it to sell out within a day.

The official Celestial Feast quickly posted an update on Weibo.

Immortal Feast v: Everyone's enthusiasm is overwhelming! For those little immortals who didn’t manage to grab any, don’t worry. You can pre-pay now, and we guarantee delivery within a week.

LittleLateButHere: Ha! I finally managed to snag some this time!

TipsyDumpling: Immortal Feast is finally behaving! Bought so much [Picture]

TenderPork: At last, I got to spend my money, so thrilled!

WhereIsMyChild: Noticed the new arrivals; got myself a jar of fermented tofu and teriyaki sauce to try. If it's a product by Immortal Feast, the taste won’t disappoint. I can make teriyaki chicken rice at home.

BouncyBouncy: I’m devastated. Seems like I'm the only one who’s late.

Ding! MealCard: Me too, I missed the announcement on Weibo. And because I couldn’t bear to watch the last episode of "Chef is Here!", I delayed watching it. By the time I saw the sisters’ reminders in the comments, I was already late.

...

Riding on the wave of Yu AnTong’s victory in “Chef is Here!”, the online sales of Immortal Feast have seen an impressive boost.

The offline stores also experienced another peak in business, becoming the latest hotspot for food vloggers and influencers.

Nowadays, Yu AnTong is enjoying a carefree life at home, with no specific work plans ahead of the birth of Xiao Nian.

Occasionally, when he's utterly bored, he experiments with new recipes in the kitchen or browses through the latest gossip and parenting tips online.

Around lunchtime, he prepares meals to deliver to Xing LiXuan, making it his daily stroll.

“Mom, I’m heading out to deliver food to LiXuan,” said Yu AnTong, packing the lunch box.

Mother Xing replied, “AnTong, don't do this every day. He won't starve if he misses a meal made by you.”

Mother Xing, doting on her daughter-in-law and grandson, placed her own son, Xing LiXuan, a notch below them.

Yu AnTong laughed, “It’s no trouble, and the doctor did say I should move around more. Mom, I’m leaving.”

Father Xing formally retired from his company this year. Now that he no longer had to go to work, his driver became available for Yu AnTong.

The driver, with decades of experience, drove exceptionally smoothly. And the luxury car, worth millions, indeed felt much more comfortable than hailing a taxi.

Yu AnTong unfolded the side table, placed the food on it, and relaxed into the seat, browsing his phone.

He still hadn’t watched the saved video on how to swiftly change a baby’s diaper.

Hmm? So that's how it's done? It seems quite handy.

After watching, Yu AnTong forwarded it to Xing LiXuan. Xing must master this skill! From now on, he'll be in charge of Xiao Nian’s diapers! Hehe.

After forwarding, he inadvertently clicked on a recommended video from the app's homepage. It was a forgettable-faced internet beauty live-streaming.

“Rumors suggest Immortal Feast is booming with business, with customers always in line. Is their cuisine really as delectable as the tales suggest? Let's find out today!”

Just as Yu AnTong was about to exit, he realized the stream was about Immortal Feast.

Catching a live broadcast of one's own place? Yu Antong became intrigued and decided to watch.

The female anchor held up her phone, walking and filming simultaneously. Two minutes in, she halted and turned her camera: "Now, I'm right in front of the 'Xianren Banquet' Phoenix Street branch. As everyone can see, there's quite a line of customers. I doubt I'll get to eat today; I should've come earlier..."

"I just asked the waiter how long the wait is, and they said about two hours! My God, it's almost noon. In two hours, I'll starve. However, there's a large dining room available for groups; although it's pricier, it will save us time!"

The anchor seated herself in the private room and held the menu up to her camera, "Take a look everyone, what do you want me to order? Tell me!"

Comments streamed in non-stop!

Little Bear Pudding: Honey roasted chicken!

Potato: Steamed pork with rice flour, a must-order!

Cheerful Duck: Just looking at these menu pictures makes me drool.

Soy Milk Machine: I want everything, can we just order it all and try? [Dog head emoji]

Bubbles: What's this "Jade Ribbon Ball"? Curious, order that one!

Yu Antong also joined in the fun, giving her a recommendation.

Little Year Cake: Isn't anyone ordering vegetables? For a vegetarian option, try abalone sauce with chopped chili baby bok choy. If you're getting the honey roasted chicken, pair it with a sour plum juice.

Yu Antong's comment quickly got buried under the influx, uncertain if the anchor noticed.

The car smoothly came to a halt; they had reached the Jiang Yue Group headquarters.

Yu Antong turned off his phone and stepped out. After several visits, he was quite familiar with the place. Employees greeted him with friendly smiles as he passed by.

Given it was minutes before the end of work, he didn't barge into Xing Lixuan's office. Instead, he knocked and waited for Xing's invitation to enter.

Xing Lixuan was in the midst of a work report from a project manager. Guessing that Yu Antong would arrive around this time, he looked up and met his gaze.

Without uttering a word, Xing merely acknowledged Yu Antong with a glance.

Understanding the situation, Yu Antong made his way to the guest sofa, not wishing to disturb.

"... The 'Meet Up' live broadcasting platform has seen a month-on-month profit increase of 2.7%. The celebrity endorsement contract ends next month, with the new endorser still under discussion."

After the presentation, the project head, hoping to score some points, hastily said, "If Mr. Yu could endorse us, our food broadcasting sector would surely double its profit, far surpassing any celebrity's effect."

Yu Antong, who was setting up the mealbox, looked up in surprise: "Huh?"

Xing Lixuan shot a glance at Yu Antong and then, with a stern face, addressed the project head, "The current endorsement contract is ending soon. Why haven't you secured the next one? Is this the efficiency you bring to your work?"

He had finally allowed Yu Antong some free time, and out of all things, why did the topic have to be work? What if Yu Antong got an impulsive idea to start live broadcasting?

The project head was flabbergasted. Wasn't it said that praising the boss's spouse always cheered the boss up?

What just happened? Was it his flattery technique or had he been misled by colleagues?

"Alright, you may leave now. Ensure the new brand ambassador is settled promptly."

"Understood, Mr. Xing."

The manager left with a grimace. Who had told him that flattering the boss's wife was the solution whenever the boss got angry?

The first time he tried this tactic, he infuriated the boss. The person who gave him this advice must have been playing a prank. Such deceit is intolerable!

Damn it! Office politics! Deceived by malicious advice!

"Was Xiao Nian well-behaved today?" Xing Lixuan asked as he walked past Yu An Tong, washing his hands.

He hoped to distract Yu An Tong from the live streaming incident by mentioning Xiao Nian.

But, to his surprise, this question reminded Yu An Tong of the comment he made under the ID 'Xiao Nian Gao' during the food livestream.
