Sun Tzu’s Art of War, Attack By Stratagem chapter: The skillful leader subdues the enemy’s troops without fighting, he captures their cities without laying siege, overthrows kingdoms without lengthy field operations. [1]
Of course, Ye Fei did not know Sun Tzu’s Art of War, but he perfectly illustrated the meaning of this stratagem with practical action.
Almost all of the other live broadcast sections of the QQ Platform thought of Ye Fei as a hypothetical enemy. Though Ye Fei had no idea about their movements, these people were racking their brains for plans on how to suppress him, with plans to send out their Silver Star broadcasters in twos, threes or more to deal with him.
However, the mob against Ye Fei were starting to realise that no matter how many Silver Star broadcasters they sent out, it would not be easy to take down Ye Fei. That’s because Ye Fei’s ability to create fans was far too terrifying.
He barely said more than a few words to his fans outside of his ingredients introduction. One could say that he hardly interacted with his fans at all. All he did was cook and somehow managed to hit it off with a large number of fans, winning their hearts in one fell swoop.
In their opinion, this Ye Fei was really too scary and too powerful.
However, in Ye Fei’s own opinion, he just did what he was supposed to do, he did it so he would not feel any shame in his own heart towards himself.
After announcing the second draw, Ye Fei did not drag out the time and matter-of-factly clicked on the [Wheel of Fortune] words.
The wheel began to spin rapidly.
Everyone stared at the spinning wheel with bated breath. This time, they were more nervous than ever, since this was their last chance for the day to win an opportunity to cook with Ye Fei. If they miss this opportunity now, they could only wait until the next broadcasting day.
One lap.
Two laps.
…….
As the Wheel of Fortune spun, everyone in the live channel prayed.
“God bless me, I must be drawn!”
“F*ck, you’re still begging God, didn’t you beg Him earlier?”
“Oh oh oh, Buddha bless me, I must be drawn, ah!”
“Ancestors bless me, whether your descendant can eat Deity Ye’s fine food depends on this chance, I must be drawn, I must be drawn!.”
“Puu~~~ you brat, you also invite the ancestors out?”
“Mm-hmm, just now, Yao Xiaoming invited out his ancestors and he was drawn.”
“F*ck me, that’s just a coincidence.”
“I’m expecting a second coincidence.”
“I bow to YOU ah.”
QQ Platform’s company forum.
“This fellow started the lottery again. The first time, he drew a young kid, I wonder who he will draw this time.”
“The kid he had drawn was also pretty impressive, ah. Did you not see how that kid’s mother smashed 10 spaceships in one go?”
“Aiyo, the thought of those 10 spaceships messed me up. Your mom, how is it that I never know that Fine Food Section’s viewers are so rad before?”
“Didn’t you say that the viewers of the food section were all mud turtles before? Isn’t it a slap in the face now? Even m*therf*cking golden turtles are not as generous!”
“Cough, cough, that’s true, only, I don’t know who will be drawn this time.”
“Why is it when I see this fellow’s Wheel of Fortune spinning, I also feel a little excited?”
“Yi~~ What if we are drawn?”
“Haha, you think too much, you know his live channel has more than 120,000 people now, ah? The odds are too small.”
“If you get drawn just go! Shut up already, the Wheel of Fortune has almost stopped.”
Within the Fine Food Section’s little group.
“It’s starting, it’s starting, the second draw.”
“So excited, so excited!”
“Your hair is excited, ah, you are not even the one being drawn.”
“I’m also in Deity Ye’s live room, ahhhhhhhh!”
Just at that moment, Feng Tianlai floated over.
“Is the second round of the lucky draw starting?”
The crowd turned around to see that it was Feng Tianlai, and instead of being scared, everyone became excited instead.
“Supervisor, it’s the second lucky draw, it’s today’s last spot.”
Feng Tianlai said bemusedly, “I wonder if my name will be drawn?”
The crowd, “………”
“Supervisor, you’re also watching Deity Ye’s live broadcast?”
Feng Tianlai nodded very seriously and said, “I just didn’t comment.”
The group of Silver Star broadcasters in the Silver Star broadcaster group were also nervous.
“M*therf*cker, why do I feel nervous about this guy drawing a prize?”
“Me too, it’s as if I’m waiting for the lottery to be drawn.”
“We are all in his live broadcast, what if we are drawn? Drama King, don’t you have to broadcast tomorrow?”
“That’s right.”
“What if you get drawn?”
“I get drawn? My live broadcast will be delayed.”
“… F*ck, for one meal of his, you would even give up your live broadcast?”
“Ah, is there a problem?”
“No… no problem, you did the right thing.”
The Wheel of Fortune was still slowly rotating.
With each turn of the wheel, everyone’s heart thumped along in rhythm.
“I’m dying from nervousness, ahhhhhhhh! My name, my name, I see my name, it’s so close to the pointer, close, close! F*ck me, it’s gone past again!”
“Your mom, stop talking, your words are so scary I’m about to piss!”
“Puu~~ upstairs, is it that bad?”
“You’re not nervous?”
“I… I’m not nervous. Ahhhhh my name came up, it’s almost under the pointer! F*ck me, it’s turning so slow, I feel like my name will stop right there when it goes under the pointer, it’s too exciting!”
“……….”
“Shame on you, just now you said you were not nervous.”
The Wheel of Fortune spun for nearly a full minute before finally coming slowly to a stop.
Ding dong~~
The viewer ID under the pointer suddenly flashed red, and immediately afterwards, the viewers exploded!
“F*ck, how could it be him?”
“Your mom ah!”
This, this…”
“God, ah, I watched Deity Ye’s live broadcast from the beginning to the end, I didn’t miss a second of it, ah. He had just arrived, how did he get drawn? This is not fair ah.”
“Ancestors, you guys don’t need to come out, the lucky draw is over.”
“F… F*ck me ah! This is so great, I guess the live channel will directly get blown to pieces.”
“Heavenly Food Tyrant!!! Heavenly Tyrant Bro, this luck of yours… You really are a heavenly tyrant, ah! You came not even a few minutes, but won the prize!”
The crowd was all in disarray.
As the lucky viewer, the actual topic of conversation, Heavenly Food Tyrant, was straight-up dumbfounded.
“Holy sh*t, holy sh*t, holy sh*t, it’s me? It’s really me?” This fellow held his big bald head and turned it, asking the four burly men wearing sunglasses behind him.
The four men all nodded in unison.
“Boss, it’s you.”
“Hahahahahahaha, it’s really this daddy!”
The four men in black nodded in unison once again, then coincidentally gave a thumbs up towards Heavenly Food Tyrant and chanted together, “Boss, boss, you’re the best, boss, boss, you beat the rest, you are our superboss!”
Heavenly Food Tyrant, “……….”
“If it had been any other day that this daddy heard you guys doing this low-level ass-kissing, I would have smacked you to death. However, today is an exception. This level of ass-kissing is just right, ah. Hahaha, I, Heavenly Food Tyrant, am the best and most powerful, haha!”
After the fellow was done complimenting his team, he straightened his sleeves and opened up the prop bar.
QQ platform and a group of Silver Star Broadcasters.
“F*ck me, ah, why was this guy drawn?”
“This, this, this is a godly man, ah. My heavens, this time, Ye Fei really has hit the jackpot.”
“For sure, with how mighty this fellow is, you guys just wait to be blown away.”
“Heavenly Food Tyrant? Your mom, ah, is he lucky, or is Ye Fei lucky?”
“I’m also baffled, I don’t even dare to look afterwards.”
“If you don’t dare to look, close your eyes.”
“Close my eyes? Then won’t I miss the most rad record of the platform?”
“Haha, you know that too, ah?”
“With this guy’s character, I just don’t know how crazy he’ll be.”
The group of people in the Fine Food Section were also all dumbfounded. All of them covered their mouths in surprise right away, speechless, because they knew that since Ye Fei had drawn Heavenly Food Tyrant, what awaited was an absolutely frenzied bombardment.
“Holy sh*t, today, Deity Ye is going to break records like hell.”
“Heavenly Food Tyrant… How crazy he is going to be here?”
“He was also chosen too accurately. He just entered the live channel, ah, and he got chosen just like that?”
“M*therf*cker, I don’t care about anything else, I’m just concerned about how Heavenly Food Tyrant will play in a while.”
“A friendly reminder, high energy readings ahead, please close your eyes!”
