Chapter 986: Chapter 1005: Blowing Up Together with the School
But some people still lingered, unwilling to leave. This was especially true for those who had barely missed out by a few spots. What was that called? Survivorship bias.
"If there’s a little broth left at the very end, I can just mix it with rice! Let me wait!"
"I’m willing to wait!"
There were always those who couldn’t wait forever, forcing them to settle for lunch at the neighboring restaurants. The owners of these neighboring eateries, which usually saw mediocre business, were utterly bewildered. Just moments ago, they had been panicking, convinced they would go bankrupt with such a delicious new establishment opening next door. But looking at the situation now—hey! This might actually be another opportunity!
Qiuqiu watched the robot serve the final fish. The taut string in her mind snapped, and a wave of exhaustion made her slightly dizzy. However, she quickly put on the Spirit Healing Helmet resting nearby. A surge of power helped her steady her footing. Outside the restaurant, a robot had already posted a "Sold Out" sign by the entrance. Some people still craned their necks to peek inside, but gone meant gone. Not a single drop remained.
A long while passed.
Qiuqiu finally recovered her senses and turned off the collector suspended above the kitchen. Logging into social media, she saw that her newly opened cafeteria restaurant had mildly trended. Of course, the majority of the discussion came from students of Federation University.
Many people had indeed failed to grab a portion. This was inevitable; after finishing her classes in the Mecha Single Soldier System, she could only produce about three hundred servings a day. And that was with the robot butler handling all the prep work. To compensate everyone, Qiuqiu uploaded the 394 servings of braised fish with rice she had sold today to her virtual storefront.
With so many samples provided, the potential slots she could set were virtually limitless. To avoid wasting energy—since allocating slots required it—she configured the system for unlimited, on-demand access. Basically, anyone who came could grab one. Oh, or perhaps the word "grab" no longer applied here. It should be: anyone could get one.
This sudden windfall quickly overwhelmed the minds of the Ju people working outside. After a frenzy of clicking, they actually got it! Many exclaimed in surprise, thrilled that even they had managed to secure a portion. As a result, Juju’s food community was flooded with these types of posts today:
[I got today’s braised fish!]
[Exactly how many slots are there? Why does it feel like everyone in the fan group got one today?!]
[...You won’t believe it, but there are still some in the storefront! I realized the slot grab turned into a countdown. It actually turned into a countdown!]
[Anyone who hasn’t grabbed one can get it once. Oh my god!]
[I suddenly feel like the useless Little President Qian has gotten stronger!]
Some veteran fans couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. It was great to be a fan of Juju now. There was no longer any need to wait anxiously, tearing their hair out over missed grabs. Such delicious braised fish was now available to everyone for a limited time. Of course, aside from those praising Little President Qian for stepping up, some knowledgeable individuals were curious: just how many samples had Juju provided? As people dug for the root cause and traced the source, the news regarding Federation University quickly blew up.
The very next day.
Juju’s shop trended on social media. Dragged onto the trending list alongside it were the Spirit Healing Department and Federation University.
[List: The Most Enviable Universities]
"Recently, we’ve noticed that everyone’s dream school has been frequently trending. That is my alma mater, Federation University."
An independent content creator smiled gently at the camera. The live comments were flooded: [Humblebrag much?], [A classic humblebrag right from the start!], [My alma mater—the streamer opens her mouth and reveals heights I can never reach!]
"Hey, don’t say that, guys. You can get in if you just work hard! Everyone has a chance! Our school also accepts adult admissions from the general public!"
