Qiudao's distrustful gaze made Terry let out a sudden AWOO.
Terry declared emphatically, "Qiudao, I'm a wolf! You know I have a perfect sense of taste! There's no way I'd ever misjudge something!"
"The fried gugu meat cutlet that streamer made today was seriously delicious. It's the best meat cutlet I've ever eaten!"
His firm attitude left Qiudao skeptical. When Terry saw he still wasn't convinced, he immediately wagered his own wolf tail as collateral. "I bet you won't be able to resist how delicious it is!"
"Alright, alright, I believe you."
"!"
"Bro, hurry and open the Star Network and follow her! She streams every day at eight!"
Unable to refuse his roommate's enthusiasm, Qiudao sighed and opened the Star Network, following the new streamer named Jiang Qiuqiu.
At that time, Jiang Qiuqiu only had 29 followers.
'Such an amazing creator, but so few followers.' Terry felt that Jiang Qiuqiu was getting a seriously raw deal!
Having transformed into Jiang Qiuqiu's number one fan after eating the meat cutlet, Terry rallied his spirits and charged into his own clan's community circle.
Everyone knew the Federation Star Network was a monopoly with an uncountable number of users.
To help so many people get along and communicate, the Star Network was divided into many "clan circles" where people of the same race could gather and chat about various things.
As a Wolf Clan Genetic Hybrid, Terry had joined a clan circle called 'Extraordinarily Sensitive Tongues.'
It was comprised of wolf-people, dog-people, cat-people... and other Genetic Hybrids with outstanding senses of taste.
The people who hung out there spent almost every day discussing what to eat, what wouldn't make them retch, how to overcome their instincts, and when they could finally stop drinking that shit-like Nutrient Liquid.
Terry was a regular there, always scouting for delicious food.
And today, he had made a post!
#Today I Ate the Best Meat in the World!#
In the post, Terry described in detail the process of Jiang Qiuqiu frying the cutlet, what the fried cutlet looked like, and, of course, saved his most over-the-top praise for the experience of finally tasting it.
It was crispy and fragrant, bursting with juice at the first bite, without any of the usual toughness of gugu meat. It was lean but not tough, dry but not greasy, and the aroma lingered on and on... It was practically a whole essay.
Seeing how sincere and emotional he sounded, people in the comments started asking him which stream he had watched.
Terry excitedly dropped the link to Jiang Qiuqiu's channel. The people who clicked it saw the pitifully few followers, then looked back at Terry's gushing praise, and ??? immediately appeared over their heads.
'Isn't this just a shill hired by the streamer herself?'
Where there was doubt, there was resistance. An angry Terry shot back by posting pictures of the various warrior honors and military medals he had received in the Wolf Clan.
Onlookers: 'Nope, can't mess with this guy. He's a Mixed Species big shot who tears apart the Insect Race with his bare hands.'
They took another look at that fragrant, over-the-top praise—
'Oh! If a big shot is hyping it up, maybe it's actually true!'
Fueled by the power of his various medals, Terry's post went viral for a while. Jiang Qiuqiu's channel followers jumped from the dozens to the hundreds. Satisfied, Terry logged out of the clan circle, but not before forwarding the post to his family group chat before bed.
'BOO HOO HOO! After eating the meat cutlet Juju made, this wolf can die with no regrets! A streamer this amazing absolutely cannot be buried in obscurity! He, Terry, her number one stan, will definitely push Juju to the top!'
That night, Terry dreamed that the streamer discovered everything he had done, was deeply moved, and in response, laid out dozens of meat cutlets before him—
Terry was so moved that tears shamelessly streamed not from his eyes, but from the corners of his mouth.
