Chapter 450 Dumpling Making Competition
[Hahaha, maybe there are some! Perhaps the dumplings these experts make are all oddly shaped!]
This year's New Year is going to be so interesting! I can't wait! It's such a rare treat to see so many big names making dumplings together during the Spring Festival.
[That's right, that's right! How about we have a dumpling-making contest? Let's see who can make the prettiest dumplings, how about it?]
[This is a good idea, I second it!]
[Seconded +1]
As the word "seconded" kept flooding the live stream chat, viewers from all sides were eager to get started.
Although they might not be very good at making dumplings, how could they possibly miss out on such a fun activity?
Even netizens from other countries who were lurking in the live stream couldn't help but sign up, and the live stream was bustling with activity.
On Yunyang Island, Gu Xinyan and the members of the time-traveling team, along with these excited big shots, began setting up Yunyang Island, gradually making preparations.
By the time it was time to make dumplings in the afternoon, Yunyang Island had already undergone a complete transformation, decorated in a very festive manner, just like a wedding venue, with lanterns and colorful decorations.
The various big shots even changed into very appropriate new outfits for the occasion; of course, these outfits were all bought from the interdimensional shop on the island.
Originally, only one or two people bought it, but seeing this, the others were not to be outdone.
So, they all changed into new clothes, perhaps inspired by these big shots.
Soldiers and academicians alike came to buy their New Year's battle robes, including Gu Xinyan and her group.
Needless to say, the viewers in the live stream were incredibly quick to follow the trend, insisting on buying the same items as the influencers.
For a time, almost everyone in the shops across different worlds was wearing the same clothes.
The same thing is happening in China; everyone on the streets is wearing the same New Year's battle robes!

"Your dumplings are so ugly! You don't look like someone who's clumsy, how come you're so bad at making dumplings! Mine don't even look as good. Why did I have to be paired with you?"
Looking at the dumplings made by the Mermaid King, the Dragon King couldn't help but complain. He hadn't expected to draw the Mermaid King when they were drawing lots to form groups.
After all, they were from the same plane, which was quite a coincidence. However, after they actually started fighting, the Dragon King became somewhat disgusted.
The dumplings made by the merman king were nothing like his other dishes; they were truly hideous.
Mermaid King: "........."
Hearing the Dragon King's complaint, the Mermaid King looked at the dumplings he had just made on the plate. "Are they ugly? They look pretty good! Where are they ugly?"
The very confident merman king didn't think his dumplings were ugly at all.
But seeing the Dragon King still rambling on and on, the Mermaid King couldn't help but turn his gaze to Ellie beside him and ask:
"Ellie, are the dumplings Father made ugly?"
Ellie: "........."
Although she really wanted to nod and say it was ugly, she was afraid of hurting her father's confidence.
Besides, she was her father's beloved daughter, so she couldn't possibly contradict him. Thus, she rolled her eyes and forced herself to praise him against her will.
"They're not ugly at all! Father's dumplings are the prettiest. Ellie wants to eat lots of Father's dumplings later!"
Upon hearing this, the Mermaid King's eyes narrowed with joy. He knew it! How could his dumplings be ugly?
"That dragon must have no taste, it can't appreciate it," she thought smugly, glancing at the Dragon King with delight. "Look at my little daughter, she has such good taste."
"Alright, alright! Father, please make some more, Ellie must eat a lot later!"
Dragon King: "........."
My teeth ache! My eyes hurt! But why am I also a little envious?
The Dragon King glanced at the heartwarming father and daughter, then turned his gaze to his youngest son.
"Father, don't look at me! Your dumplings aren't as nice as mine. Don't expect me to eat yours. Oh dear, Father, hurry up! If you don't hurry, our group will fall behind!"
Completely ignoring the hope in his father's eyes, Ao Yu's eyes were filled only with the desire for victory.
Seeing that other groups had already started wrapping up their second round, while their group hadn't even finished wrapping up their first round, they couldn't help but urge them on impatiently.
Dragon King: "........."
He finally realized that hers was a warm and comforting jacket, while his was a drafty one. He felt that even a piece of raw char siu was better than this drafty jacket!
Fortunately, this little incident did not cause too much of a commotion, since everyone present was focused on making dumplings.
Even if they noticed, they all chuckled to themselves, and no one laughed openly.
The viewers in the live stream didn't have so many concerns and were all laughing non-stop.
[Hahahaha, this is hilarious! Look at the Dragon King's frustrated expression; if the occasion weren't so inappropriate, he would definitely have kicked Ao Yu right now!]
[That's right, that murderous glint in her eyes was impossible to hide, hahaha, there's no harm without comparison! Princess Ellie is so sweet!]
To be honest, Ao Yu's eyes are only filled with the desire for victory; there's no room for anything else!
[That's right, hahaha, but then again, although the Mermaid King's wrapping wasn't very good, the Dragon King's wasn't much better, and mine wasn't even as good!]
[Yes, yes, that's hilarious! I have no idea where he got his confidence from. But I never expected our ancestors to be so good at making dumplings. Look how neat and tidy they are!]
...........
The dumpling-making competition in the live stream room became incredibly lively after it started, especially with the two teams being paired up and the participants from all sides being scattered, making it even more interesting.
Some people are clumsy with their hands, while others have a strong learning ability; they can wrap them quite well in no time.
However, the banter between them was just as intense, making for plenty of interesting moments that kept the viewers in the live stream laughing non-stop!
However, everyone who was focused on making dumplings for the competition naturally didn't pay attention to the comments in the live stream. Only Da Bai would occasionally go up and check.
When he saw the netizens' complaints, he couldn't help but laugh along, and would occasionally nod in agreement.
Yes, yes, yes, those dumplings are all lumped together, you can't even tell they're dumplings at all. I don't know how they're so confident, saying they made them look good.
In contrast to the chaos on this side, the soldiers on the other side appeared much more skilled.
