Another World’s Fruit Tycoon - Chapter 58

By the time Ailin was seated in front of the camera again, she was already smiling sweetly like she usually would during her broadcasts.

“Okay, now that the two watermelons have been cut open, let’s try tasting both of them.”

Ailin placed the two watermelons in front of the camera and adjusted her position. Compared to the large watermelons, her face looked much smaller.

“Wow, is little Ailin going to eat the two huge watermelons?”

“The host is so cute. I like her.”

“I’m on the video as well. I’m the watermelon.”

“You’re so showy.”

Scanning the pop-up messages that flew by, Huang Ailin picked a few and started interacting with the ones who commented. When the conversation was almost over, she finally decided that it was time to eat the watermelons.

“Ailin is going to start eating!”

“Let’s protect Ailin while she eats the watermelons!”

“Eat watermelons!”

“Eat watermelons!”

In order to better promote watermelon, Huang Ailin would generally first eat the watermelon that was meant to be a comparative control group, so that there would be a difference and a chance for her to better compliment the product that she would be promoting.

Hence, Huang Ailin scooped some flesh out of the watermelon that was from Zhou Kun.

“Mmm, this watermelon is not bad.”

In fact, the first bite of Zhou Kun’s watermelon tantalized Huang Ailin’s taste buds, and she thought, ‘How could there be such a delicious watermelon?’

The watermelon tasted fresh and as soon as she took a bite, the refreshing watermelon juice filled her mouth.

Nevertheless, due to the fact that she was doing a promotion, she had to control her expression regardless of how delicious Zhou Kun’s watermelon was. After some brief evaluation, it was time to eat the other watermelon.

“Now that we’ve tasted the ordinary watermelon, it’s time to try the watermelon that’s claimed to be the best on the market and see how delicious it is!” Ailin exclaimed in an exaggerated tone.

Comments written by hired keyboard warriors began to flash past the screen.

“Wow, this watermelon looks delicious.”

“Hurry up and eat it, I’m so excited.”

“I’m looking forward to it, I’m looking forward to it!”

Seeing that the pop-up comments were almost leading to the topic, Ailin began to try the watermelon that she was supposed to promote.

At the instant that she took the first bite, Ailin screamed in her heart, “Damn it, why does this taste so awful!?!”

The watermelon delivered to her by the sponsor was very hydrated and had a good amount of sweetness, but it tasted bland compared to Zhou Kun’s watermelon.

That was the case for fruits. The worst-tasting ones had to be eaten first. Once the rich sweetness fills the mouth, the other fruit would seem bland if they did not taste as sweet as the preceding one.

However, since the broadcast was still going on, Ailin had no choice but to continue eating the watermelon against her will, even if she thought that it didn’t taste good. She would still have to promote the brand.

“This watermelon is very juicy, hydrated, and refreshing.”

Although Ailin was hiding it well, her loyal fans could still tell that she seemed unnatural.

“Does anyone feel like Ailin seems a little unnatural when she’s eating the watermelon? It looks like this watermelon is hard to swallow.”

“I feel the same thing. Could it be that this watermelon tastes horrible?”

“Poor host, she has to force herself to say that the fruit is delicious even if it tastes horrible, for the sake of the advertisement.”

“Poor? A random advertisement deal she takes on is easily what you, a loser, earns in a year.”

“I also think the host is having an agonizing time eating the watermelon.”

Ailin did not expect others to see through her pretense and facade. All of a sudden, there was a paradigm shift in the comments.

She could only pretend that she didn’t see those pop-up comments, and in order to avoid further exposure to her pretense, she began to remain silent and lower her head to eat the watermelon.

“Host, why aren’t you saying anything? Did we hit the nail on the head?”

“It tastes so terrible that she can’t say anything.”

“Host, blink if you’re kidnapped! We’ll come to your rescue.”

“Give me the address, and I’ll be the first one to rescue the host.”

Ailin watched as the comments of the broadcast room began to turn weird while she continued to force herself to eat the disgusting watermelon, pretending like it was delicious. The more she consumed, the more aggrieved she felt.

Ailin had a good family background, and her parents had always doted on her like a baby. Ailin suddenly felt that there was no need for her to suffer those grievances at all. It was just an advertisement, wasn’t it?

At most, she would compensate the sponsor. She really didn’t want to continue eating the bad-tasting watermelon.

After thinking about that, Huang Ailin suddenly tossed the spoon in her hand and said, “Forget it, I can’t go on with the act. This watermelon is too unpalatable! Dear sponsor, please contact me, I’ll return the promotion fees to you!”

There was a huge uproar among the viewers, who began commenting in a frenzy, of Huang Ailin’s broadcast.

“Hahahahaha, I’m laughing to death. What kind of watermelon is so unpalatable that you can’t even stomach it even though you’re getting paid to do so?”

“Damn it, you can’t go on with the act? What a major flop.”

“I’ve gained a benefit from watching the broadcast today. Hahahahaha”

“Hahahahahaha”

All of a sudden, the pop-up comments flooded the screen to the extent that the host’s face was covered.

At this moment, a special effect suddenly appeared on the screen of the broadcast room. It was a super rocket sent by a user named ‘Eternal Knight’.

“Host, if you think it tastes bad, stop eating. I’ll help you pay the fee for breaching the contract.” Next, another ten super rockets were sent flying across the screen.

“Wow, the local tycoon has appeared.”

“Impressive, 10 super rockets at once.”

All of a sudden, Huang Ailin’s broadcast room rose to the top because of the hefty presents.

“I just logged on. What’s the matter?”

“I’m here because of the local tycoon’s rockets. Sister is so pretty.”

“Someone tell me what’s going on.”

Hence, the ones who were initially watching the broadcast began to explain everything in the pop-up comments.

“Quickly go to Live-stream Room 14XXXX. Sister is crying from eating the awful watermelons sent by the sponsor.”

“There’s a huge flop in Live-stream Room 14XXXX. Hurry and go there, guys.”

Similar pop-ups also appeared on many other live-stream rooms, and for a while, Huang Ailin’s popularity was pushed to the top 10 of the entire platform.

Huang Ailin did not expect her reckless act to cause such a big impact, but in order to avoid worsening the current situation, Huang Ailin felt that she still needed to step forward to explain.

“Actually, the watermelon delivered by the sponsor isn’t that bad. It just so happens that the watermelon I have at home today is a bit sweeter, and the comparison between the two makes this watermelon seem a bit bland.”

“Miss, don’t explain further. The more you try to explain, the worse it gets.”

“Hahahaha, are you sure you’re not hired by the advertiser’s competitor?”

“I’m laughing so hard. How bad does the watermelon taste? I really want to try it.”

“If it tastes bad, it tastes bad. Forget it, and don’t explain anymore.”

Seeing that her explanation didn’t work and seemed to have the opposite effect, Ailin stopped dwelling on the issue and instead focused on Zhou Kun’s watermelon.

Since she no longer had to advertise, she could finally eat the watermelons at ease. Ailin had been salivating over Zhou Kun’s watermelons for a long time. Now that she had no worries, the watermelon that she was eating seemed to be extraordinarily sweet.

Hence, there was a continuous influx of viewers in the live-stream who saw the adorable girl eating some watermelons. There were countless pop-up comments and even the scene couldn’t be seen anymore.

“Am I late? What happened?”

“Why would I want to see a girl eat watermelons?”

“This watermelon looks delicious. Were the rockets sent by the sponsor?”

Hence, the viewers began commenting and answering each other’s questions. Ailin’s live-stream room suddenly crashed.

Initially, the matter happened on a certain live broadcasting platform, but surprisingly, it continued to blow out of proportion, and on the second day, “Ailin eating watermelons” ended up on the hot search list.
