SUMMARY:
Gu YuMian works as a zookeeper and lives a stable life. Until one day, he went transmigrated to the interstellar era which is different from what he imagined.
Hot microblog search: #Humans have been officially listed as an endangered species.#
The headline of the daily newspaper: [Annual salary is ten million, and there is no one to take it?! Mainecoon Cat Prime Minister said he offered high prices to recruit service workers for grooming, cat cooking and manicure cutting, but no one has applied in fifty years.]
Gu YuMian: ….
Ten million a year? Coincidentally, he was a professional zookeeper.
Other anchors focus on things popular, fans and intrigue. Gu YuMian focuses on making cat meals, combing ErHa's hair and feeding panda cubs. His live broadcast became more popular.
After a long time, Gu YuMian found out that the snow leopard he picked up was the emperor of the Empire, the panda was a famous star, and Erha was the hottest novelist in the whole world?!

Chapter 1: Wants to Hold it in the Center of His Palm, then Take a Nap After Lunch

Nova Calendar Year 245, Early Spring.
Gu YuMian followed the navigation of the optical computer, turned and finally found the location of the Star Tower. He looked at the sign over the top of his head. The big poster said, [Spring wind has gone, stars have not aged.]
Yeah, here it is.
He walked to the hall.
Through the revolving glass door, there was an extremely magnificent and bright hall. A husky man ran past with his briefcase, a pair of hamster ears were on the head of the white-collar woman in glasses, and the cat in charge of the front desk service pounded the keyboard with her claws.
There was a woman waiting in the hall.
Her name was Keri, she was a staff member of Star Live platform and she was mainly responsible for contacting the anchors. She looked at her watch and at the door. The appointed time was approaching, but Mr. Gu was not there. She was a little impatient.
'This is why I don't like human beings,' Keri thought. 'Untimely, they are narrow-minded and shortsighted… No wonder human beings are dying out. Maybe this is the survival of the fittest in the legend?'
She was not racist, just genetically programmed.
Many years ago, there was a great calamity on ancient Earth. Animals awakened their spiritual power and abilities in the disaster, and their intelligence greatly improved, while human beings did not. As a result, animals were now equal to human beings.
This delicate peace did not last long. After the calamity, due to resource problems, human beings and animals began a hundred years of war. In the end, the war ended with the victory of the animals, but the hatred and disgust caused by the war were not eliminated and were written into the blood of generations.
Colleagues heard that Keri was going to discuss a contract with a human anchor today, and they all sympathized with her.
"I heard that human beings stink. You should be careful not to get too close and vomit because of him."
"Human beings are not extinct yet?! Keri, it's not easy for you."
"Humans are cunning and short-sighted. I've come into contact with two humans and talking to them made me sick."
"…"
What her colleagues said was too exaggerated, so she began to grow anxious and regretful even though she had not seen the anchor. For the fifth time in a minute, Keri looked at the door… At this time, her eyes brightened.
A young man walked through the revolving glass door towards the front desk. He was wearing the most common linen white shirt, had long legs, was born with a smile on his half pear lips, and had the most brilliant pair of eyes.
His pupils were the light brown normal to humans of Asian descent, but were warm and melted like honey, giving people the feeling of softness and charm. He was a kind of heartthrob beauty.
"How do you do?" Gu YuMian walked up to Keri and smiled. "Miss Keri? I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the place here. I apologize for being late."
His voice was equally pleasant, clear and gentle.
"No, it doesn't matter." Keri came back to her senses and shook hands with him wordlessly. Gu YuMian's fingers were long, and his palm was warm when they shook hands, giving off a very comfortable feeling.
Half a minute later, there was an awkward silence.
Gu YuMian looked at Keri, who didn't let go at all. He smiled awkwardly and politely, "Miss Keri?"
"…Oh, I'm sorry." Keri reluctantly released her hand. She was still in shock, and her brain didn't turn back on at all.
—At the moment when she saw Gu YuMian, she seemed to see small fireworks in front of her eyes. It was not a kind from infatuation when thinking about love, but another more pure and joyful emotion. She even wanted to change into her original shape and sleep in Gu YuMian's palms.
But didn't everyone hate human beings?
Keri's world outlook had been greatly impacted. Had she lived a lie since she was a child?! No, it's not the first time for her to see a human being. She had brief contact with them during her internship and at that time, she really hated them in her heart.
But Gu YuMian was totally different.
"Let's go in and talk." It took Keri a long time to think of the business at hand. She wanted to tidy up her hair but when she touched the top of her head, she found that her cat ears had come out.
Keri, "…"
They were required to work in human shape, and everyone was very skilled at transformation — unless they were really excited. Keri put her ears back in embarrassment. A few steps from the lobby to the elevator, Keri also ignored the impolite action and kept looking at Gu YuMian, only thinking that one second less was a loss.
But Gu YuMian was not used to being stared at so enthusiastically by others, and could not help but ask, "Miss Keri, what's the matter?"
"You're special, Mr. Gu," Keri said sincerely. "You… It's really not personal at all."
Gu YuMian, "?"
'Human' in the interstellar era had become a derogatory term, so this sentence was praise.
Gu YuMian said slowly, "Thank… Thank you."
After the shock, Keri began to feel surprised.
It was amazing that she had never seen such a special human as Gu YuMian. What was good about him was that he would become a star anchor. She was sure that the profits Gu YuMian would bring to the platform in the future would be immeasurable.
Keri took Gu YuMian into the elevator, where another orange cat colleague from the Operation Department was. This orange cat hated human beings and was unwilling to take the same elevator as any human being.
"I heard they signed a human anchor," complained the orange cat to her colleagues.
"Human anchor? My God, what are they thinking? They must want to lose money. How can human beings be popular—"
The second Gu YuMian stepped into the elevator, there was a sudden silence.
When the orange cat saw the human being, she wore a disgusted expression and wanted to step out of the elevator, but when she passed Gu YuMian, she stopped. She slowly turned her head, looked up and down at Gu YuMian, and her eyes gradually became strange. Not only her but also all the animals in the elevator did the same.
Suddenly surrounded in the middle of the elevator and being stared at, Gu YuMian, "…"
Thinking that these 'people' were actually animals and that they were surrounding him and staring at him, Gu YuMian felt embarrassed and somewhat sad.
—He worked in a zoo in his last life.
Yes, last life.
Gu YuMian came from what these people called 'Ancient Earth.' 5G was not created at that time, let alone a spaceship, mecha or even optical computers.
He ran a pet hospital from his home. As soon as he learned he could, the first thing he learned was how to nurse a kitten. He liked animals very much since childhood and was also loved by animals. No matter how fierce or irascible a cat or dog was, they would become obedient in the second they met him, and they would beg for him to pet them.
He studied animal science as an undergraduate and after graduation, he went to work in the city zoo. His job was to raise giant pandas, but all the animals in the zoo liked him, and his colleagues often asked him to help them feed and take care of their charges.
Gu YuMian went to a famous school, and his intelligence level was excellent. He participated in the treatment of many endangered animals. Although he was a zookeeper, he published many papers in his spare time. He was famous in the industry even at a young age.
When he woke up after a crash, he became Gu YuMian of the interstellar age.
Gu YuMian didn't expect transmigration, which was often mentioned in novels and movies, would happen to him.
This body, who had the same surname as him, was eight or nine points the same in appearance. He lived alone without going to school and didn't have any relatives or friends. For some reason, he committed suicide. Gu YuMian woke up in the bathtub with a deep scar on his wrist.
Comparing all of his problems, the first one that bothered Gu YuMian was food and clothing.
—On the original's personal account, there were only 245-star coins, which was about 300 yuan. (43.25 USD)
He was a real pauper.
Gu YuMian wanted to go back to his old job as a zookeeper, but he soon found out that it wasn't that easy.
The main members of the society in this era were animals, and because of the problems left over from history, these animals hated human beings, so how could they be willing to be raised by human beings? Not only zookeepers, veterinarians, zoologists… any animal-related professions did not exist in this era.
Just as Gu YuMian was worried about how to make some money, at least to maintain his basic life, a phone call from Star Live platform came up and contacted him to sign a contract.
It turned out that before committing suicide, the original was negotiating with Star Live to sign a contract. Live broadcasts were the most popular in the entertainment industry in recent years, and the Star Live platform was the platform with the largest traffic. The popularity of a first-rate anchor could be comparable to that of a first-rate star, and the endorsements were often more.
But Gu YuMian didn't want to be a first-rate anchor. He knew that he was not that type of material because he had a gentle personality since he was a child. He was not the kind of person who could attract people's attention.
What he saw was that there was a 'guaranteed wage' in the contract. That was to say, even if there were no fans, no audience, as long as the live broadcast was on, he could make a dead wage.
Although not much, he would have enough food and clothing. Only when he had money could he plan for the next step. So the next day, he went to the Star Live platform's branch on the planet.
…
The animals' strange gazes accompanied Gu YuMian and Keri.
"Mr. Gu," the elevator beeped, and Keri reminded him, "we are here."
When they stepped out of the elevator, there was a low air pressure between the animals in the elevator behind them.
Keri understood how they felt.
The two sat down at the conference table, and Keri pulled out the contract she had already prepared. The contract was in both paper and electronic versions, Keri explained, "Mr. Gu, since you have no experience in live broadcasting before, and you are the first human anchor of Star Live, we don't know what the public's acceptance will be of human anchors, so we can only give you the lowest E contract."
Even an E contract guaranteed a minimum wage of one thousand a month. In addition, it also came with rewards, various endorsements, copyright income, and platform anchor subsidies.
"When you get to a certain degree of viewers in the studio, there will be a recommended location. In addition, the new anchor has a special recommendation, as well as being ranked by popularity. And we also extract interesting content recommendations in real-time every day."
On the whole, Star Live was friendly to new anchors and Gu YuMian listened carefully and nodded. The next steps went smoothly. Gu YuMian signed after reading the contract, which was not unreasonable.
It was such an ordinary and calm day but it was one the most influential contracts ever signed and it was signed at will.
Keri took Gu YuMian all the way to the elevator and turned back to the office. It was during their lunch break that her colleagues chatted and greeted her.
"Hey, Keri, what's up? You came back so late."
"I just signed a contract with a human anchor," she said, smiling at the thought of Gu YuMian. "If you see him, you will like him. He is charming."
"…"
"Is it…"
The colleagues didn't contradict her, but they were all very dismissive of it. Although human beings were rare, they had seen them several times over the years.
They didn't say they liked human beings, and controlled their instincts, trying not to hit them, but it was very hard.
"By the way," the topic was a little heavy, and a female colleague started another conversation, "Keri, when you were away, the leader came here and said that the live content needs to be strictly examined recently."
Keri asked, "Huh? Why is it so strict?"
"I heard that His Majesty is coming to our galaxy," the female colleague replied in a low voice.
With that, she trembled, and a layer of white fluff appeared on her smooth neck.
—She was scared.
When thinking of that tyrant, everyone went silent and shivered.

Chapter 2: The Most Outstanding Emperor.
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Editor: Sulo
After coming out of the Star Tower, Gu YuMian boarded the public suspension device.
In the interstellar age, land transportation was completely eliminated, and the satellite popularized the hovercraft. At present, the only regime in interstellar space was of the mysterious, feared Emperor. There were three galaxies, one Capital Star and forty-seven satellite auxiliary stars. The star Tukuxi, where Gu YuMian was now located, was a satellite auxiliary star on the edge of the galaxy. Industry and technology were not developed on this star.
There were more advanced means of transportation on the Capital Star.
Ten minutes later, Gu YuMian stood at the door of his home.
The apartment was originally rented and it was in the middle of a residential building, so the lighting and basic settings were not satisfactory. He didn't have time to clean up yesterday and Gu YuMian spent an afternoon cleaning.
It was evening by the time he finished so Gu YuMian ordered take out.
While he was waiting for the takeout, he decided to watch a few live broadcasts to study. Although he went for the minimum wage, he was not in love with this business. But since he received money from others, he could not slack off doing his job.
"Little A, please connect me to the Star Network." The built-in AI of Gu YuMian's optical computer was called Little A.
"Okay," Little A replied, "please verify with fingerprint and wear the sensor."
A light screen appeared in front of Gu YuMian and he pressed his thumb on it then stuck a small metal disc-like sensing device to his forehead and closed his eyes.
The next second, a magical world unfolded in front of him.
It was like a VR game, but it was much more realistic than that. Gu YuMian floated in a vast Starry Sky broadcast, looking left and right. Once again, the indigenous person from ancient Earth was shocked by the advanced level of science and technology.
There were several small squares floating in front of him, with many different titles such as 'information,' 'entertainment,' 'communication,' which were a bit like apps from the mobile phones of his time. Gu YuMian pointed at the 'entertainment' section and chose Star Live.
The Star Live platform was really popular. He only entered the server located on Takk Star, not all servers. The number of online people had reached 200 million. The total number of permanent residents on Takk was 500 million.
Gu YuMian didn't know what to do with his live broadcast and the platform would not restrict the live content of the anchor. The original must have had some talent to become a contracted anchor, but Gu YuMian knew nothing about it.
From childhood, he was good at caring for animals, which needed a series of special skills — good at mixing delicious feed, good at feeding babies, good at coaxing small animals to sleep, but these skills could not be used for the live broadcast.
Gu YuMian randomly selected a partition and entered the live studio to see how it worked.
The anchor of this studio was a beautiful Maine coon cat 1 and the background was a warm bedroom with wallpaper. This was its home and there was a small cradle beside it. Four little Mainecoon cats keep coming out and looking at the camera curiously. The host licked their foreheads one by one.
The live broadcast of the interstellar era was also holographic. Gu YuMian felt that he was standing indoors and he could smell the sweet milk fragrance on his nose. He could see, hear, smell and touch, but he couldn't hold anything.
Looking at the scene of the five cats in the family, Gu YuMian's heart was suddenly warm.
However, there were also shortcomings. The hair of the host Maine coon cat looked messy. Besides, its nails hadn't been cut for a long time, and they were almost going into its paw pads.
The Maine coon anchor looked at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, I'm the anchor, Banana. You can pay attention to what you like."
Gu YuMian, "…"
"Today, I'm going to teach all the novice father cats," the host said, licking his paws."When your wife is not at home, how to use a bottle to feed the kittens milk."
Gu YuMian glanced over and found that what he clicked on was the 'parent-child channel.' The most popular courses here were live feedings, live playing with children, and live tutoring.
"Let's put the milk in the bottle first." The host had become a man with an apron on. He held the milk container in one hand and poured the milk into the bottle that was in his other hand.
Gu YuMian, "…?"
Wait, the milk was for the kitten, right? It was not even diluted yet?
Then, the host put the bottle directly in front of the kitten. As the kitten's nose moved, Gu YuMian could almost see their faces as if they were resisting and rejecting. At last, they meowed twice and began to drink involuntarily.
The host smiled happily, "The babies are also very happy, have you learned?"
Gu YuMian: Where were they happy?!
If there was no cat's milk, the most suitable drink for young cats should be goat's milk, 2 because many young cats were lactose intolerant. And with such a rough feeding method, the kitten would be uncomfortable to drink. Fortunately, the physical and mental abilities of the animals in the interstellar age had been greatly improved. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the kittens to grow up healthily with such an unreliable feeding method.
Gu YuMian looked at the bullet screen 3 and thought that everyone had the same idea as him, but he never thought that the barrage would be full of praise.
【I've learned. The anchor is very careful! The kittens look very happy.】
【The anchor's feeding position is good. Unlike my father's feeding before, he almost choked me to death.】
【The milk is good. I used to give my kitten frozen yogurt. It vomited.】
Gu YuMian:"…"
The milk was not the worst thing? Someone even fed a baby frozen yogurt!?
Looking at the live broadcast and the barrage, he suddenly realized a very serious problem. Gu YuMian thought about it, closed the broadcast and changed to another studio.
This was the live room set in a living area and the host was a golden retriever. He was teaching, using his companion, how to comb hair. He directly took a plastic comb for human use, put it on his companion, and began to comb from head to tail. The level of force was not controlled. Gu YuMian could see that his companion's skin was pulled red.
Anchor, "Everyone pay attention to my technique. It's very comfortable to comb like this. The pain is reduced a lot."
Bullet screen comments:
【Learned.】
【How clever the anchor is! I used to use the method that others taught me. It's really painful to comb.】
Gu YuMian: "…"
Food channel—
"Today, I'd like you to join me as we eat at Takk's most famous restaurant." The giraffe anchor said, "There are dishes for all races here. Now let's start ordering."
Since the live broadcasts were in holographic mode, the audience could smell and taste the food here. In order to satisfy more audiences, the host ordered famous dishes for many animal recipes, such as for cats and dogs.
Gu YuMian was a giant panda zookeeper, but he had kept cats and dogs since he was a child. He had taken care of all kinds of animals in pet hospitals and zoos. He looked at the food professionally as a zookeeper. It was not 'extremely delicious' for animals.
If the meat was stirred too much, it would lose nutrition. If the vegetables were added too soon, they would be fried as well. Cats were carnivores, but there was nearly forty percent vegetables in this bowl of 'advanced cat food.' 4
This dish for cats was worth 200-star coins and was totally unqualified in Gu YuMian's eyes. If he gave it to the ancestors of the cats he used to have, they wouldn't even smell it.
【Ah, ah, eat well!】
【It's worthy of being a high-end restaurant. I'll save money so I can eat there once in the future.】
【It's much better than a small restaurant.】
Gu YuMian, "…"
He found that the animals in the interstellar age couldn't live correctly or take care of themselves at all — the best alternative to cat milk was the basic knowledge, goat milk, and no one in the whole interstellar world knew about it.
Combined with some of the history he roughly understood yesterday, Gu YuMian could understand it if he thought about it a little.
In his last life, about twenty or thirty years after he died in the car accident, an apocalyptic catastrophe hit the earth. In that catastrophe, there was a lot of knowledge and culture that could not be preserved. In addition, people and animals became enemies because of resource conflict. Even if someone knew this knowledge, it would not be passed down.
Moreover, after the awakening of animals, whether originally wild or domestic, they began to blindly imitate human life and aesthetics. This was, of course, beneficial to avoid too long-term development from the original — animals based on the scientific and cultural basis of human civilization expanded to the universe and ushered in the interstellar age in advance. But in fact, the human way of life was not suitable for them.
This had created the current situation.
As he was thinking about it, the doorbell suddenly rang. It was Gu YuMian's take out. He took back his thoughts, took the takeout and sat on the balcony to eat.
Although the rental apartment was small in area, it had a small balcony. Takk's industry was not developed and from sitting on the balcony, he could see the vast sky.
Gu YuMian ate beneath the starry sky. After eating, he went into his room and brought out a bottle of mineral water to water the half-withered plants on the balcony.
He was a little homesick.
Thinking of his parents, his friends and colleagues, as well as his chubby little pandas…
Gu YuMian did not realize that while he was doing these things, in mid-air outside the balcony, a super micro camera was flashing red.
The camera was aimed at him and in working condition.
…
At the same time, Star Harbor One.
As the largest starport of Takk, there were tens of thousands of starships and spacecrafts parked there, and hundreds of thousands of passengers were received every day. But generally speaking, the traffic would be greatly reduced after nightfall.
Tonight was the exception.
It was eight o'clock in the evening, but Star Harbor was crowded. There were animals of all races, leading families, old couples supporting each other, some holding flowers. With so many people, it should be noisy, but the huge star harbor was very quiet.
At the front of the crowd were the media reporters, who were also very quiet, and even the cameras were not turned on.
"Mom," one of the kids finally couldn't help asking, "who are we waiting for?"
"Shh." The child's parents picked up the child and whispered in her ear, "We are waiting for His Majesty. His Majesty saved our lives, you know?"
Twenty years ago, when the Zerg attacked, the frontier satellite Takk Star took the brunt of it. Had it not been for the twenty-year-old Emperor himself leading the troops to the front, Takk would have fallen into the cruel ways of the Zerg. Therefore, despite the mixed reputation of the Emperor over the years, people who had experienced the war were deeply grateful to him.
A few minutes later, a fleet arrived at the Star Harbor suspended in the universe. Thousands of stars were shining, and the scene was grand and magnificent. Each starship had imperial and royal patterns on its body, and the largest one opened.
A man surrounded by guards walked down.
There was dead silence among the hundreds of thousands of people in the harbor. No one spoke.
The Emperor did not like to be talked about. There were few photos of him floating around on the Internet, magazines, and news and it was only his human form, none of them featuring his animal self.
This was the most outstanding Emperor of the Empire for thousands of years. His ferocity was as well known as his excessive mental power. He was only twenty-years-old when he succeeded to the throne. When a normal being lived to the age of 500, he was too young to be coveted by all forces.
Under all the pressure and criticism, the young Emperor went to the front lines in person. In seven years, he wiped out the Zerg that had plagued the Empire for hundreds of years. In less than one year after returning home, he cleaned up the Zerg with iron-blooded tactics and eradicated the forces with an indifferent heart.
Mental power could be divided into E-level and S-level, and the official data that had been published showed that the mental power rating of the Emperor was SSS level. But he had as many bad rumors as merits and one of the most shocking was patricide.
At this moment, Star Harbor was silent.
The Deputy Executive Officer of Takk Star came up cautiously and offered his bouquet, which was ignored.
"Your Majesty," the Deputy Executive Officer wiped his sweat, and went up again in fear, "we have called together the marriageable noble men and women of Takk star, and are waiting for your choice—"
Just after listening to the first half of the sentence, the Secretary beside the Emperor immediately pinched a sweat drop in his heart.
Sure enough, in the next second, the Emperor stopped and his indifferent eyes rested on the Deputy Executive Officer's face.
When the Deputy Executive Officer saw the Secretary's expression, he immediately realized that the matter was not good. He took a half step back with a dry smile. Seeing the indifferent look of the Emperor, he thought he was lucky enough to escape.
Then, he was thrown out by a huge force!
The Secretary and the guards behind the Emperor closed their eyes, while the people on both sides of the road took a tacit step back at the same time. The chubby Deputy Executive changed back to duck shape in mid-air, fell heavily on the ground and passed out.
There was total silence.
The Emperor looked away and went on.
Seeing that His Majesty didn't have the intention of further attack, the Secretary and the others finally relaxed, followed up and escorted the Emperor to the exclusive suspension device. When the sound of the levitator took off, the atmosphere of the Star Harbor was quiet like the afterlife.
In the hovercraft.
If others had seen the appearance of the Emperor, they would have been surprised. He had broad shoulders, long legs and his beautiful appearance didn't match his gloomy and irascible temperament. Looking at his two eyes could slow people's heart rate.
Uniform, silver hair, thin lips, and grey-blue pupils.
Many noblemen and women in Capital Star would go on and on, but their Majesty was an anti-marriage man. The cabinet urged for many years, but it was destined to be disappointed.
As soon as they got on the hovercraft, a light screen spread out in the mid-air, and the light music that was out of line with the tense atmosphere sounded.
"Your Majesty," the Secretary explained, wiping his sweat, "this is a video taken by Takk to welcome you."
After the light screen unfolded, the voice of the hostess, frightened and trying to maintain her composure, came out, "We warmly welcome Your Majesty to visit Takk, for which we…"
—Warmly welcome?
The Emperor's face was slightly mocking.
The Secretary observed His Majesty's mood and switched channels.
"This is the aristocratic youth's of age from Takk star," the picture turned into a group of men and women with outstanding looks, sitting in a reception room and waiting quietly. The reporter said in the voice-over, "His Majesty will be able to choose from…"
The Emperor's face turned overcast.
The Secretary's forehead was sweating, so he quickly switched channels. What's the matter with this Takk star? It was too bold, right from the Deputy Executive Officer to the public, wasn't it?!
Who didn't know of His Majesty's non-marriage doctrine? Even if asked to come by the cabinet, he was always most disgusted to hear 'dating' related topics.
A few seconds later, a small balcony appeared on the screen.
At a glance, the Secretary found himself scrambling to press a completely unrelated channel.
Takk was not a planet inhabited by human beings, but a single-digit human being. Because of the ethnic particularity of human beings and the extreme events that had happened before, every human being on the planet would be specially 'observed' during the period when the Emperor stayed in Takk. In other words, surveillance.
Of course, this kind of surveillance would not infringe on privacy, but they had to install ultra micro cameras outside their houses.
The Secretary just accidentally switched to the human surveillance channel.
In the picture, the white and handsome young man was eating a box of rice. He straddled the windowsill with long legs, facing the vast Star River on his side, his eyelids drooping. They didn't know what he was thinking, but it seemed a little sad.
The feeling of the young man was very special. Even the Secretary, looking at the screen, was also distracted for a moment, and there was a soft heart feeling. It was so strange. It was a human being. But he didn't feel any disgust, and instead, he wanted to be close.
The Secretary quickly returned to his senses. In the event of such a mistake, he was extremely embarrassed, "Your Majesty, I'm really sorry."
He wanted to turn off the light screen directly.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor who had been silent suddenly raised his hand and stopped his action, "Don't turn it off."
The grey-blue pupils watched the young man on the light screen. The Emperor's face was cold and lazy as if he was watching to pass the time.
But he watched the human for two hours.

Gu YuMian finished his meal, watered the plants, and sat on the balcony, dazed.
The first panda he raised after he joined the zoo was called 'Big Wok.' 1 Later, Big Wok gave birth to a pair of twins, named 'Second Wok' and 'Third Wok.' Before his accident, the pandas had just been weaned and were all round and sticky.
He didn't know what happened to them.
Gu YuMian had been raising pandas for a long time, and also has feelings for them. They were usually slow, lazy creatures, so he could stay in a daze all day and be free.
At 10 p.m, he closed the balcony door and went back inside.
The efficiency of the star platform was pretty high and his contract could only be officially entered tomorrow. After entering, he would be an official anchor. As soon as Gu YuMian stepped into the room from the balcony, the Star Live sent a message to his optical computer.
【Meet you this spring. Star Live platform new anchor support project officially opened!】
Gu YuMian clicked to view the details.
It turned out that this year was the 10th anniversary of the establishment of Star Live. The official launch of a series of activities and competitions, among which the new anchor support project was one. This project would give a series of concessions to qualified new anchors, including recommended seats, bonuses, upgrade contracts and even several endorsements, which was also a big hit.
There was only one place for a less developed satellite, Takk. The new anchor who had the most views could participate in the new talent competition held in Capital Star and compete for Star Live King.
Not long after the event started, many anchors signed up for it. Gu YuMian opened the competition area of the new talent support project of Takk server and saw the hottest new talent anchor, who made a live food broadcast, and there were 40,000 people watching.
"Forty thousand people…" Gu YuMian was surprised. There were few people in Takk and a lot of them should have gone to bed at this point but there were still forty thousand people. The new anchor was really amazing.
So one in a million, it seemed that this new support project was not a bad idea.
Though Gu YuMian didn't have much hope, he didn't give up. He watched the other person's live broadcast for a while and then turned off the light to sleep.
At the same time, on the other side.
In the suspension device, the Secretary was worried. The viewer rate of the post was quite high. The safety of their lives depended on the mood of His Majesty and, right now, he couldn't judge whether His Majesty was happy or not.
As the human youth entered the room and could no longer be captured by the camera, the projection on the light screen ended automatically.
The suspension device had long arrived at the destination, but the Emperor had no intention of going out. He drooped his eyelids and gazed wearily at the back of his hand.
The secretary was sweating on his forehead, "Your Majesty?"
The skin of the Emperor was too pale, and the blue blood vessels under could be seen through the skin on the back of his hand. But at this time, visible to the naked eye, the color of his blood vessels began to change from blue to red as if they were about to burn.
The Secretary's mental strength was not weak. At this time, he could clearly feel the oppression, which was totally superior to all living creatures and was too terrifying.
This was absolutely abnormal.
The Emperor looked at the dark red blood vessels, silent for a moment, hissing, "Atavism phenomenon?" 2
The Secretary caught the word in the lit room. Atavism was unique to the royal family. It was usually triggered by some special conditions in adulthood.
Without waiting for him to ponder something more, in half a minute, the Emperor's too powerful and majestic spiritual force spewed out without any disguise, and the Secretary tightly stuck to the suspension device corner, feeling unable to breathe.
A layer of ice quickly formed in the suspension device. The intelligent system was damaged by the biological wave attack, and the temperature dropped to below zero.
Clouds over Takk quickly gathered; a rainstorm brewing.
In half an hour,
An adjutant carefully knocked on the door of the suspension device and the whole suspension device intelligent system was damaged to a pile of scrap iron. At last, they had to force the door open to reveal the scene inside.
The thick ice filled the whole space. The Secretary fainted and couldn't see His Majesty. Only half of the damaged optical computer was on the ground.
Several people present were horrified. Some people were flustered, some people began to calculate secretly in their hearts, and finally, they assisted the Duke of Fennick, who had been in charge of Takk for many years, to make a decision, "Block the news and send someone to find him."
The next day.
Without accident, Gu YuMian's contract was successfully entered. Gu YuMian continued to watch the live broadcasts. Today, instead of just watching it, he took notes while watching it to learn how other anchors coped with various emergencies.
4 p.m.
After leaving the Star Network, Gu YuMian stretched out and went to the supermarket to buy food materials. Take out here was quite expensive, but fortunately, the price of supermarket items was relatively reasonable. Star Live's guaranteed wage hadn't arrived yet and he had less than 200-star coins left, so he has to save.
The supermarket was close to Gu YuMian's residence, so there was no need to take a suspension device. When he first arrived at the supermarket, it suddenly rained heavily outside. The supermarket was almost deserted and the only staff member sat in the food area and looked at his cell phone, bored. The sound of Gu YuMian's entering startled him. The young man looked up at Gu YuMian, his eyes suddenly became strange and confused.
"Hello," Gu YuMian said, "that, I want to buy…"
The young man wiped his hands on the apron and reached out to shake Gu YuMian's hand, "Welcome."
Gu YuMian didn't know why he had to shake hands when buying a dish. He hesitated for a moment before reaching out to shake hands with the youth. The next second, the young man's hand, which was placed in the palm of Gu YuMian's hand, became a paw. The German Shepard paw skillfully stayed on Gu YuMian's hand, capturing it with the fluff and warm paw pads.
"Cool," the staff member said.
Gu YuMian, "…"
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it." The staff member immediately responded and apologized. He was also surprised by his irrational behavior — and still faced the human he should have hated.
Gu YuMian waved and said it was okay but the staff member was still sorry and said, "What do you want to buy? I'll get it for you."
This young man was very talkative. When he saw Gu YuMian, he didn't know what happened. He helped him select various ingredients and seasonings, and at the same time, discussed popular science with him.
Gu YuMian knew that the raw food materials of the interstellar age had been greatly innovated, which was taken for granted. Because animals already had intelligence, including animals that were originally used as livestock for food, of course, they couldn't be slaughtered. The meat in the interstellar age was all artificial synthesis, and the technology was very mature. There were no differences between the original meat and other aspects, which could meet various needs.
After shopping, Gu YuMian returned home.
The moment he opened the door, he had a delicate feeling. The rain outside the window was noisy and the interior furnishings were quiet, but there was something hidden in the dark.
Gu YuMian took a step back with his umbrella in his hand, his back tightened, and suddenly—
A dark shadow sprang out of the corner. Suddenly, Gu YuMian fell to the ground with great force. He hit the wet and cold floor with the back of his head and subconsciously, he wanted to cry out in pain. One of the creature's paw was on Gu YuMian's chest, the other on his lips.
Lightning made the sky bright, and Gu YuMian saw everything in the light: silver soft fluff, soft paw pad, grey-blue eyes squinting, looking down at him.
It was a little snow leopard. 3
Gu YuMian, "…"
There was a small bomb in his house.
In his last life, Gu YuMian participated in the rescue of a wild snow leopard. The mother snow leopard was seriously injured by poachers and could not be saved. Two young snow leopards were left behind. Gu YuMian took care of them from two months to two years old, which meant he was quite experienced.
When the snow leopards were small, they were just a little bigger than a domestic cat.
"Baby, where's your mother?" Gu YuMian picked up the snow leopard by the back of its neck, put it on the sofa and turned on the lamp at the same time, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not a threat."
The little snow leopard's eyes narrowed into a line and stared at him coldly.
Gu YuMian didn't dare to turn on the headlight for fear of scaring it. The intelligence quotient of animals in the interstellar age was high. Gu YuMian thought that this may be a lost child of a loving family.
The little snow leopard suddenly jumped up from the sofa to the dining table, his claws stretched out from his paw pads and ground them on the wooden table. He was thinking about where to attack and his body was arched back. It was an attacking posture, and it looked at the human being to the side.
The atmosphere was tense.
After a while, Gu YuMian raised his eyebrows slightly and extended his hand.
His hand fell on the little snow leopard's chin, and he scratched his chin with great skill, moving gently to his cheeks and ears. According to his experience, this movement was very comfortable. His little snow leopards used to hold on for less than ten seconds, and then they turned over to show their belly and wanted more. 4
But the little snow leopard was only stiff and soft for a moment, and quickly turned around to give him a paw 5, sat up and stared at him gloomily and angrily.
The baby was so small, a little bigger than the kitten, and showing this serious expression, but it was still decent, with a bit of momentum.
All right.
"Who are you?" Gu YuMian scratched his head. "There's no optical computer."
At this point, he suddenly reacted.
Gu YuMian just read the basic information of this era yesterday. Optical computers were the most important thing for all the interstellar residents. It also had the function of identity verification. Once a baby was born, it would have an optical computer, which appeared in the form of a collar, watch, ornament, etc.
Unless it was a vagrant.
Gu YuMian poured a bowl of water for the snow leopard. Seeing that he didn't intend to run around, he quietly picked up his optical computer and went to the balcony to call the police.
It was not necessarily a vagrant. What if the little snow leopard just accidentally lost his optical computer? The parents must be in a hurry to find him.
"Mr. Cha, this is the case. I'm a resident of Building 2, residential area C. Today, an unknown child appeared in my home."
"I'm sorry, sir," the police inspector said amidst the noisy background. He seemed to be dealing with something anxiously. "You can find its optical computer and contact the parents. We are very busy now."
"But…"
"Beep—" He hung up.
Gu YuMian couldn't do anything so he went back to the living room and saw that the snow leopard seemed to have waited until he was bored. He had curled up on the pillow of the dining table and fell asleep. He had poured out half of the water and drank it.
In order to make the little guy more comfortable, Gu YuMian adjusted the air conditioning temperature to 20 degrees (68F), and then gently moved the snow leopard with the pillow to the soft reclining chair. That pillow was bought by Gu YuMian yesterday on the Star Network.
The little snow leopard sniffed Gu YuMian's fingers in his sleep, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly held his index finger with two front paws.
Gu YuMian was dumbfounded, "Didn't you try to scratch me just now? Little brat."
The little snow leopard never let go of his hand. Gu YuMian went to walk to the kitchen. He didn't see it, but right behind him, the little snow leopard closed his eyes uneasily. He found the pillow full of Gu YuMian's scent again and fell asleep again.
In any case, he couldn't starve the child. 6
At this age, the snow leopard was weaned and ready to eat hard food. Gu YuMian decided to cook dinner for it first.
"Say it…"
The optical computer popped up a new message prompt, which was sent from the Star Live platform. It said that his contract was successfully entered and he could start a live broadcast.
Gu YuMian thought it's better to bump into the sun than choose a day, right? 7
He used his host account to log in to the platform and created a live room. The built-in camera from his optical computer floated to the middle of the air and started to work, which was invisible to the naked eye.
For his cover, he chose a default picture. As for the room name, Gu YuMian was not good at it. He racked his brains only to name it [Making dinner for the baby at home.] In the default cover mode, the camera randomly took a real-time photo to upload.
When everything was ready, Gu YuMian pressed 'create' to start the first live broadcast of his life.
Chapter 4: First Live Broadcast
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Editor: Sulo
Gu YuMian ordered fresh raw materials on the Star Network, which arrived in ten minutes. Although the raw meat was synthetic, it perfectly simulated the various states of real raw meat. In particular, Gu YuMian bought high-grade synthetic raw mutton, together with some necessary vitamins and complementary foods, which cost more than 100-star coins in one go.
After watching the live broadcasts for two days, Gu YuMian had a general understanding of a lot of common sense about interstellar space. Today's animals had evolved a lot compared with the past. In terms of diet, they were far away from the era of drinking blood and eating raw meat. They ate cooked food as human beings used to, and their requirements for taste and health aspects had also improved.
But they were not human beings after all, and they only copied the recipes and cooking methods of human beings. In fact, there were many disadvantages.
Gu YuMian was worried about the great changes in the physiological structure of animals in the interstellar age because his previous experience and knowledge would not work. He looked up the data especially, which reassured him that the physiological structure of the animals had not changed greatly except for the awakening of mental strength and physical strength.
He washed the raw mutton and boiled the carrots in the water. The super micro camera floated in mid-air, recording everything in real-time in all directions. At this time, a Ding Dong was heard, which meant that an audience member had finally entered the live room. '2' appeared in the upper right corner of Gu YuMian's vision, which meant that two people were watching the live broadcast, the number was still slowly climbing, and finally stopped at '6'.
Five minutes later, the first bullet curtain in the studio drifted slowly across the screen.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: I came in just to have a look. Is the cover real?! How could it look so good?!】
Soon another person responded:
【Small Outing With Yu'er: + 1】
As a new anchor, Gu YuMian had no previous fans or recommendations. As a rule, the audience had no way to find him. Although there was no comparability with the 40,000 audiences of others, there were audiences at the beginning of the broadcast, which had already been calculated among the newcomers.
Gu YuMian had been interviewed by a TV station before and he was not too nervous when facing the camera. He smiled at the camera, "Hello everyone, my name is Gu YuMian. Please take care of me in the future. I am making a simple dinner for the baby at home today. The main material is mutton strips. It's very simple and the cat audience can try to make it for the kids at home."
After a brief introduction, Gu YuMian continued to look down at the ingredients. He said very little and didn't ask for gifts like other hosts.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: The host's smile shows two little dimples! AWSL!】 1
So far, only the 'South China Tiger' audience member had been speaking and interacting with Gu YuMian, and no other audience had spoken. "South China Tiger" seemed to only pay attention to his beauty.
But Gu YuMian was not discouraged. This live broadcast could only be regarded as testing the waters. Any problems encountered now would be a valuable practical experience. He looked out of the kitchen through the frosted glass door and saw that the little snow leopard was still asleep peacefully, with regular ups and downs of its chest and a soft, long-tail resting on its abdomen.
Gu YuMian had no resistance to small animals at all, his heart was suddenly soft and his handling of food materials was becoming more and more serious.
After thawing and cleaning the raw mutton, Gu YuMian cut it into thin strips, ignited the fire under the skillet, and poured in an extremely small amount of oil.
"When a cat is weaned to four months, the strips should be sliced a little bit, but they don't need to be ground or cut." Gu YuMian explained.
The skillet was hot, Gu YuMian added the mutton strips and some radishes and orange peel. He was not a professional chef, and just had some experience, combined with these two days of exploration and thinking. 2
Radishes and orange peel could remove smells.
Gu YuMian said, "If it's a tiger or a leopard, it's okay to have it cooked three parts of the way through."
Humans couldn't eat unripe mutton, but animals didn't have this restriction, and their physical fitness had greatly improved in the interstellar age. Tigers, leopards and other animals had thousands of years of living habits in the wild, but fully cooked food did not fit their taste.
Gu YuMian used to raise snow leopards, who were fed whole, raw meat.
Just after frying for a while, the surface of the thin mutton strips was slightly crispy with the little oil, but also had raw meat the color of blood. The air was filled with a scent of fresh meat, which floated out along the door crack. Outside the door, the sleeping snow leopard moved its nose.
Now all live broadcasts were holographic live broadcasts. The audience could smell, touch, hear and even taste the things in the studio. Of course, it was all virtual data. It just gave people a feeling of being there.
At the same time, there were several more bullet screens in the studio.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: WTF! It's delicious. What's the matter? I wasn't hungry just after supper. QAQ.】
【Cat's Meow: It's so delicious, anchor. Can twenty-four-year-olds also eat it?】
However, there was also a disharmonious barrage.
【Hug the Leopards: Is the host human?】
As soon as the bullet curtain passed, the two people who were talking were quiet.
It was their instinct to judge whether someone was a human or animal, but across the screen, this instinct was weakened a lot — plus, there had never been a human anchor in the Starry Sky Live platform, and everyone defaulted with the thought that Gu YuMian was also an animal.
Gu YuMian held the handle of the pot and paused, asking, "What about humans?"
The audience member continued to speak.
【Hug the Leopards: You look like a human. It's disgusting.】
【Hug the Leopards: It's just been three minutes? Haha, it's killing me. Can't the anchor mislead the audience more? Don't be silly. The host is human. How can he understand the recipes for cats? Do what he says, and you will eat the food and get sick. Then will he gloat.】
Seeing him say that, the other audience couldn't sit down.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: It's not right for you to be so racist. My nanny is human and has worked for us for twenty years. Whether it's human or animal, there are good and bad, how can we combine all of them?】
【Small Outing With Yu'er: Host, are you really human?】
Gu YuMian put out the fried mutton strips and said, "Yes."
The number of people in the '6' studio dropped to '5', and Small Outing With Yu'er left. The aroma in the air was stronger, but the focus of the live broadcast room had completely deviated.
【Hug the Leopards: Go out and check the recipes. All the recipes say that mutton must be fully cooked. I was watching the live food broadcast of the host, Cigarette, last night. He is a star certified food anchor. He also said that it must be fully cooked. As a human being, who gives you the courage to say that mutton can be cooked three parts of the way through?】
In the interstellar age, the recipes used by animals came from humans.
In the past, mutton had to be fully cooked, otherwise, there would be all kinds of bacteria, but now there was no bacterial problem in the synthetic mutton. Secondly, the situation of wild animals and humans was different.
Fortunately, Gu YuMian thought of this kind of emergency yesterday.
"My name is Gu YuMian. You can check my personal information through the Star Live broadcast. If there is any problem, you can call the police directly," he said, "and you can check the official food safety detector."
He took a long, thin instrument, something like a remote control, and put it on the plate of mutton to test it. Two seconds later the result came out, and he showed it to the camera:【Safe】
Hug the Leopards stopped talking.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: I believe in the anchor. In addition, I watched the live broadcast of Cigarette yesterday. I didn't mean to step on it, but the cooked lamb chops baked by Cigarette were not as delicious as those here.】
【Cat's Meow: I also believe in the anchor, so can I taste it now? It looks really delicious! 5555】 3
"Just a moment, there are still several more processes." Gu YuMian smiled."And now it's very hot. Watch your tongue."
【Hug the Leopards: Even if it's safe, it's not going to taste good.】
【Cat's Meow: I can see that the leopard elder sister is afraid and is just trying to make things up?】
It was just then.
The open kitchen door was pushed open by the head of the snow leopard. The little guy just woke up, yawned and walked in slowly. His tail swept by Gu YuMian's ankle, and he suddenly jumped onto the cooking table.
Gu YuMian was startled, wanted to move him, but saw the little snow leopard move close to the plate with mutton strips and move his nose. Then, it narrowed its eyes to show satiety.
"Mn, you can't eat it yet." Gu YuMian picked up the snow leopard.
This time he did not resist. He rolled over on Gu YuMian's shoulder and looked at the whole kitchen with the eyes of a King looking at his territory.
Gu YuMian didn't specially modify the mode and parameters before the live broadcast. He did not know that the default setting for live broadcast was that if an animal appears in a fixed range, the camera would automatically convert to the first view of the animal.
That was to say, now the live studio had changed from the perspective of God to the perspective of the little snow leopard, and the vision, smell, taste, etc. were synchronized with the little snow leopard.
The audience only felt as if they were lying on Gu YuMian's shoulder. The youth's temperature came from his shirt. The sea salt scent mixed with the light fragrance of bamboo leaves, and one side of his head could be touched as the youth's soft hair and ears were against the leopard. The feeling of comfort and intimacy came up from the bottom of their hearts, and their heart was numb.
【Cat's Meow: Eh, what's the matter? Did we just float in the air? A good scent is coming from the host.】
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: I am so comfortable! What kind of human is the anchor? How can it be like this?! I'm a man in his twenties. I want him to comb my hair, hug me, and raise me high!】
【Cat's Meow: Brother, what is your sexual orientation?】
Even more remarkable was the things the human was cooking.
Gu YuMian dripped the egg yolk on the mutton strips and fried them for two seconds. Then the carrot juice was squeezed in after cooking. The taste of the carrot was sour and sweet, which was not greasy. It wakes up the sleeping tongue.
"Add a proper amount of vitamin A, vitamin D and calcium powder into the carrot juice to supplement children's nutrition." Gu YuMian said, "Okay, we can try it."
He took the plate in one hand and protected the snow leopard in the other, and went to the living room.
The audience couldn't wait, but now the live broadcast was switched to the first view of the little snow leopard. Only when the little snow leopard started eating could they taste it. The cat audience members couldn't help but smell the special and unprecedented fragrance.
Although animals discriminate against human beings, recipes and various living habits had been strictly followed by human beings. There were no animals that had ever tried to deviate from this.
Gu YuMian gave the little snow leopard a cushion, but the little snow leopard didn't want to go down from his shoulder. Instead, he kept the posture of a king in the world and sat on Gu YuMian's shoulder demurely.
Gu YuMian, "…"
The little snow leopard's grey-blue eyes looked at him lightly.
Gu YuMian tentatively cut a piece of mutton and sent it to the little guy's mouth carefully. The snow leopard was very satisfied with his service and understanding. He moved his nose in a reserved way, and then lowered his head and bit it down a moment later 4
The next second, the whole live room viewers immediately tasted a delicious taste at the tip of their tongues and their taste buds burst!
The third of the way cooked mutton was just too good. The oil in the mutton was fried to the surface, and the blood was more in line with the nature of animals born in the jungle wasteland.
Animals couldn't eat heavy salt, so Gu YuMian hardly added any, only the purest meat was delicious, plus a little proper carrot juice to freshen it up. A mouthful went down, immediately soothing the thirsty and long-awaited tongue and stomach.
The audience was quiet for a few seconds, and then the barrage exploded. Several new users appeared who had never spoken before.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: Again!】
【Cat's Meow: Ah ah!】
【Give You a Flower: WTF! What's the matter with me? I used to hate eating mutton?!】
【Silk White Moon: Anchor, hurry up and give him another bite. It's not enough!】
Then, several special effects appeared on the screen.
—"South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date threw you a deep-water torpedo", "Cat's Meow threw you three grenades" and "Silk White Moon threw you ten mines".
This was a reward for his live broadcast. Even if the platform was split the rewards in half, Gu YuMian's account was suddenly filled with 600-star coins. He didn't expect the audience's response to be so good. He was stunned and said, "Thank you, South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date, Cat's Meow, and Silk White Moon for the gifts. Thank you."
And Hug the Leopards, who was blackening the host, had completely stopped talking. No one knew whether they quit or were completely speechless.
Dissatisfied with Gu YuMian's feeding, the snow leopard stopped and pushed on his head with a paw pad.
Gu YuMian responded, estimated the food consumption of the snow leopard, fed the remaining lamb strips to it, and then collected the plate. The little snow leopard was full and half-asleep on the sofa, while Gu YuMian went into the kitchen to wash dishes.
After washing the dishes, he bent over to scratch the chin for the snow leopard, picked it up and gently rubbed its stomach to promote digestion. After a meal, the little snow leopard seemed to ignore its precautions against Gu YuMian and promoted him from a stranger to a servant.
The little guy's gray-blue pupils narrowed into a line, and his head askew lazily rubbed against Gu YuMian's palm. Because the live broadcast was still at the first visual angle of the snow leopard, at this time, the audience and its feeling were completely synchronized—5
The long fingers that caressed the belly seemed to have a small cluster of sparks and electric current. They were so comfortable that they made people's scalp tingle. The whole body seemed to melt into a piece of sugar.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: Comfortable…】
【Cat's Meow: Too comfortable…】
【Silk White Moon: It's very comfortable!】
However, at this time, Gu YuMian looked at the time and said, "Today's live broadcast ends here first. See you next time. Bye."
Audience: 【? Wait—】
The next second, before they could say anything, the picture went gray.
These four audience members felt that it was far from enough. Now there were so many complicated live broadcasts, it was not easy to find a suitable anchor. What they regretted most was that they didn't start the video from the beginning and only had time to record a short segment.
Some of them had seized the chance to record a small section of the video and then posted it. Soon, the news that a powerful human anchor came from the Star Live platform spread among the audience on Takk.
Chapter 5: I Want to Let Him Grow Up with Me
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Editor: Sulo
Gu YuMian turned off the live broadcast early because the snow leopard looked sleepy. His original plan was to take him to the police station after dinner, but after a phone call, he was told again that they were busy at present and asked him to come back tomorrow. Gu YuMian couldn't help but wait one night.
He made a nest for the snow leopard on the sofa with cushions and quilts.
"Uncle will take you to your parents tomorrow," Gu YuMian said, touching his small head and was slapped with one paw. "Well, good night."
Snow leopards used to be nocturnal creatures, but Gu YuMian found that animals in the interstellar age, regardless of their original habits, now worked like humans. He thought about it and asked with some concern, "By the way, are you afraid to be alone at night? Do you want to sleep with uncle?"
"…" The little snow leopard looked at Gu YuMian for a while with the kind of expression one would use to look at a fool, and then he looked down and circled himself with his tail and closed his eyes.
Gu YuMian, "…Well, I won't close the door. If you're afraid, just come in."
He went to take a bath, then left only a small night light on and turned off the main lights to sleep. Gu YuMian had a good sleep quality, and he soon fell asleep after lying down. However, in the middle of the night, he suddenly felt a depression beside the bed, and then his chest was stuffy, as if he had been pressed down by something, with a fluffy tail sweeping the tip of his nose.
The moonlight spread all over the place, quiet and serene.
But not on the other side of the city.
Since the disappearance of His Majesty, the Secretary and the Executive Officer, together with all the accompanying politicians, had gone mad. Takk's executives didn't sleep for two days. Afraid of being used by others, they couldn't put the news on the internet. Now Takk looked calm on the surface, but it was already in a deep depression.
Compared with so many things that big people needed to think about, the steward in charge of serving the Emperor was worried about another problem.
"His Majesty didn't take any medicine with him," the steward had taken care of His Majesty for thirty years, and watched the Emperor grow up. He sighed, "He can't sleep outside. What can I do…"
Few people knew that the Emperor had serious insomnia. He used to be okay but after the war against the Zerg, the disease had reached an extreme, and the only way to get sleep was to use drugs.
The Emperor's grumpy temper had a lot to do with it.
The most professional physicians in the Empire were at a loss. The doctor said that it was related to His Majesty's strong mental power and ability. Unless he found a partner with one hundred percent compatibility, there would be no medicine to cure him.
But the percentage was too hard to find. Moreover, His Majesty had the highest mental power in history. If someone wanted to be compatible with His Majesty at a one hundred percent rate, the partner must also have strong mental power and ability. But looking at the whole universe, where was there such a person?
The steward folded his hands and prayed as every night before, "I hope His Majesty is safe and has a good dream tonight."
The old steward would not know that for the first time in more than 9,000 nights, 1 his prayer had come true.
The next day.
When Gu YuMian Woke up, he found several short silver hairs on the bed.
Gu YuMian, "…?"
He didn't think much about it and went to wash. He got up early, but he didn't expect the snow leopard to get up earlier. Gu YuMian saw he was licking his right paw when he came out and then the leopard was stiff all over. He quickly put down his paw and sat in front of him.
Gu YuMian thought he was so cute that his heart quivered.
After breakfast, he took the snow leopard to the police station.
Gu YuMian figured that the little ancestor must be spoiled at home. He didn't want to walk on the ground, and used Gu YuMian's shoulder as his exclusive VIP seat and kept a look at the world.
After entering the police station, the police first took the snow leopard to do a basic inspection. Then, some words were not for children to listen to. Gu YuMian asked a policewoman in the waiting room to take care of the snow leopard. The little snow leopard wanted to follow him and was rejected, so he almost lost his temper and was in a bad mood.
Policewoman, "Darling, your big brother just left for a while, he did not abandon you."
Snow Leopard: "…" Big brother?
His mood was even worse.
The light screen in front of the waiting room was floating in the air, and the news was being broadcasted. It was a clip of Takk's reporter interviewing Mr. Fennick and others.
"His Majesty is not feeling well and is resting," said Mr. Fennick, looking at the camera, tapping his index finger casually at the table and smiling. "Yes, yes, we hope His Majesty will recover soon."
The background was noisy, and the sound of Fennick's knock was almost covered. Only a very keen man could find out that he was typing a military Morse code. The translation was—
[Your Majesty, be sure to pay attention to safety. If you are not stable enough, don't expose your identity first, in case you are used by people who are only interested in themselves.]
This time, there was a Duke who was quite complacent recently. He was so greedy that he wanted to join in everything. Sima Zhao's heart was well known. Fennick knew that His Majesty didn't care about him. This time, it was chaotic and he wanted to take care of the other along the way.
But they didn't expect this to happen and gave the other party a chance to take advantage of him.
This is what they called 'people with an evil heart.'
The little snow leopard looked at the light screen, his ears moved, and his eyes narrowed a moment later.
The other side.
Gu YuMian explained all the information he knew to the police inspector in detail, and then asked, "Mr. Police Officer, is it possible that he is a lost child? How can we contact his parents without an optical computer?"
The police inspector heard half of it clearly, then shook his head. "He will not be a lost child."
Gu YuMian, "What do you mean?"
The police inspector told him a cruel fact, "If he doesn't have an optical computer, he's not a lost child."
In the interstellar age, the optical computer, which integrated ID cards and mobile phones, was of great importance. The optical computer could not be easily damaged. As long as it was not damaged, it would automatically follow the owner, so it would not be lost.
If someone wanted to destroy the optical computer, they must attack it for a long time using mental power above SS level.
"In all the stars, only His Majesty has a higher level of mental power than SS. So, in theory, without an optical computer, he should be a homeless child who has been abandoned since he was born. In addition," the police officer sent a document to his optical computer, "this is the child's report."
Gu YuMian looked at it:
【Race: Albino Leopard. 2
Mental rating: Not awakened.
Difficulty of awakening: Extremely high.]
"No," Gu YuMian frowned. He was a student of animal science and he couldn't be mistaken. "He's a snow leopard."
The policeman shook his head, "Snow leopard? I haven't heard of this race. It's hard for albino species to awaken their mental power, they have low intelligence, have no language communication ability, and can't obtain a human form… It's normal for them to be abandoned. Well, in a word, what you want to do, sir, please think about it. We understand your choice. After all, it's not easy for everyone to live their own lives."
Across the waiting room on one wall, the snow leopard sat on the seat, his grey-blue eyes flashed a little mockery.
It was a consensus in the world that albino species were equal to waste. The abandonment rate of albino species was very high, and few were willing to adopt albino species. 3
It was familiar with all the world's comments on albino species—
"How could the royal family produce an albino? A waste came out."
"Bastard."
"Your Majesty, don't even bother to give it a name. The Queen plans to strangle it. What do you think such a thing was born for?"
"What are you afraid of? Albino's are mentally retarded. Anyway, it can't be understood — Hey, right, little bastard?"
"…"
"I want to let him grow up with me."
The little snow leopard's eyes suddenly opened.
The voice of the youth was clear and yet fuzzy like a little oxygen was injected into the frozen deep sea of thousands of kilometers, faintly shining.
He said I want to let him grow up with me.
For a moment, the leopard couldn't hear anything else.
In half an hour.
Gu YuMian took the snow leopard to leave the police station. There was a Q version baby optical computer around the little guy's neck. Gu YuMian just made some money yesterday. After buying an optical computer, he became a pauper again.
The Q version of the optical computer was a collar with a small bow-tie shape. It was specially designed so it wouldn't feel uncomfortable. The little snow leopard looked like a little gentleman with a bow tie. Gu YuMian liked it very much.
But the little snow leopard despised the optical computer and tried to lose his temper at Gu YuMian.
"We don't have any money, my little ancestor. Let's make do with it first," Gu YuMian comforted him. "We've spent all our money all of a sudden. How can we give you delicious food, right?"
The little snow leopard still looked unhappy, with a calm face.
Gu YuMian suddenly felt it was more lovely.
Throw away the snow leopard? Gu YuMian couldn't do it. After the formalities, he became the guardian of the little snow leopard and he would be inspected regularly. If he failed to fulfill his duties as a guardian, he would be legally responsible. Of course, this was not an adoptive relationship, because he and the snow leopard were not a species, just a kind of guardianship.
"I'll take you to buy some necessities first," Gu YuMian said. "By the way, I should give you a name… How about Xue Tuan? TaunTaun?" 4
Gu YuMian's talent for naming his pandas 'Big Wok' and 'Second Wok' was not very good, but Gu YuMian liked the name very much.
Snow Leopard, "…"
He pressed his paw on Gu YuMian's lips, and his face was gloomy, expressing strong protest.
"It seems you like it too," Gu YuMian said in a lie. "That's up to you."
Little snow leopard, "…"
Then Gu YuMian took the snow leopard to the store to buy its daily necessities. Because of his poverty, he couldn't afford to go to high-end supermarkets. Gu YuMian went to a private shop with high customer evaluation, that still maintained the business model of ancient earth.
The owner was a golden retriever. Outside the shop, two little golden retriever puppies 5 were lying in the sun. The shopkeeper greeted him, "What can I do for you, sir?"
"I need to buy daily necessities for a child," Gu YuMian said. "Is there a cat section?"
Gu YuMian looked around and asked for a small bed, quilt and pillow, all kinds of medicines and special bath props… It was quite a lot.
"Yes, I will show you."
The two little goldens woke up. One of them moved his nose, walked askew to Gu YuMian's side, grabbed his pants and climbed up. The other called out at Gu YuMian's feet two times and began to climb. Gu YuMian's heart melted. He had no resistance to these small animals and wanted to reach out and pick up the two puppies. Suddenly, the little goldens were stiff.
Gu YuMian, "?"
Gu YuMian couldn't see it. The snow leopard, who sat on his shoulder, had looked at the two puppies indifferently. His tail loosened and he wrapped it around Gu YuMian's neck. He put this human into his own sphere of influence and had no interest in sharing him with other creatures.
The little goldens trembled with fear in their eyes, and after a few seconds, they fled.
Gu YuMian, "?"
This was a situation that had never happened before.
In order to support himself and the snow leopard, Gu YuMian had to work harder to make money. If it was just him, he could be frugal and live on his guaranteed wage. But now that he had a child, the cost of living expenses had increased dramatically.
Although the police said that the snow leopard could not wake up mentally and intellectually, Gu YuMian didn't care about it at all. Since the child would be raised by him, he should give it the best of his ability.
That evening, Gu YuMian carefully analyzed his live broadcast from yesterday. As an anchorman, he was neither talented, good-looking or outgoing, and he couldn't tell stories. To be fair, Gu YuMian didn't think he was outstanding in any aspect.
However, in the end, the audience's response was good. What was the key?
He was not a cook. Even if he could make some delicious food using his cleverness, he was not qualified to be a food anchor. Gu YuMian analyzed yesterday's video and the situation of the bullet curtain and finally found out where the hole was.
It was only when the second half of the live broadcast was switched to the first angle of view of the snow leopard that the curtain began to warm up. He had some ideas about how to do his next live broadcast.
"TuanTuan," Gu YuMian picked up the snow leopard and asked, "would you please help me with the live broadcast tomorrow? I promise it won't make you tired at all."
Snow Leopard, "…"
He stared at the human with great displeasure. Who had such a stupid name?
In the past, when he showed this look, the internal ministers and various officials would have already knelt down and shivered, but the human did not take it seriously.
He shook his little snow leopard's paw and said, "Agree, ancestor, please."
Snow Leopard, "…"
And so, the human used this kind of entreaty, said many good words, and the little snow leopard just pretended to calmly, barely, nod.
The next day, the little snow leopard was sleeping late. Gu YuMian spent the whole morning doing all kinds of preparations, and then logged into the Star Live platform again at two in the afternoon, intending to start the live broadcast.
Then he was startled by the number of fans he had.
One, two…. It wasn't zero?!

Gu YuMian counted it again.
Six hundred and fifty-seven fans.
Other hosts may dismiss this number, but Gu YuMian was already very surprised. He only broadcasted live for less than an hour yesterday. He didn't have a recommended audience, and, at the end of the day, he had a single-digit number of viewers, but suddenly, he had hundreds of fans overnight.
What was going on?
The little snow leopard just finished lunch and was lying lazily on Gu YuMian's shoulder. Gu YuMian was a little excited and said, "Xue Tuan, we are famous. There are hundreds of fans."
Snow leopard, "…."
It had an empty account on the Star Network that had 20 billion fans. Was a few hundred something to be this excited about? The little snow leopard glanced at Gu YuMian with a little disdain and yawned.
Gu YuMian held the paw pads of the little guy and explained the precautions again. The little snow leopard listened absently.
A few minutes later, Gu YuMian took a breath and opened the live broadcast. He adjusted the parameters ahead of time, and this broadcast did not immediately shift to the first angle of the snow leopard. As soon as the live broadcast started, dozens of viewers continued to pour in.
"Hello, I'm Gu YuMian, the host," Gu YuMian waved to the camera holding the front paw of the snow leopard. "This is Xue Tuan, my little ancestor. Please take care of us in the future."
The Emperor never showed people his animal form, and except for the old steward who took care of the Emperor's daily life since childhood, no one, from the courtiers to the secretaries, had ever seen the animal form of the Emperor, let alone his young form. The little snow leopard glanced at the camera lazily, didn't say hello, and continued lying on Gu YuMian's shoulder, looking a little bored. But even so, the beauty of the man and the cute cub attracted a lot of excitement from the audience.
After Gu YuMian said hello, several viewers who were watching his live broadcast yesterday immediately sent out a bullet curtain.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: It's beautiful.】
【Cat's Meow: I've broadcasted and recommended this treasure all over the world! What's on the air today? Will you still make delicious food?】
【Silk White Moon: +1】
【An Ice Cream: As Cat's Meow recommended, the host is so handsome!】
That's why, Gu YuMian thought, no wonder the fans have increased so much.
"Thank you," Gu YuMian sincerely thanked, and then said with a smile, "today's live broadcast is relatively long and has a lot of content. I have listed the project schedule beside it. People who want to eat can come back in three hours."
Gu YuMian had studied that, in addition to talent and popularity, the anchor of a live broadcast needed a long duration. This was the natural disadvantage of live broadcasting in a living quarter. Singing, dancing, and games could be broadcasted for a long time, but what about inside the living quarters?
Grooming, breast-feeding and delicious food could be done in an hour or two at most. In order to mix the time, many anchors would chat with the audience. Gu YuMian was not good at chatting and he pondered for a long time and changed his own mode.
【Silk White Moon: A lot of content.】
【Cat's Meow: It doesn't matter. Anyway, I stay at home during winter vacation and will accompany the anchor for as long as possible!】
"We'll switch to the first view of Xue Tuan," Gu YuMian said.
The little snow leopard disliked the name very much. 1 He pushed Gu YuMian with his right paw and signaled him not to talk nonsense. Gu YuMian held his paw and pressed his paw pad to satisfy himself, "Okay, let's not talk about it. Let's start."
After a brief moment of darkness, the screen switched to the first view of the snow leopard.
In just ten minutes, the number of online viewers had risen to 102, and then it remained at this number. Yesterday, there were four people watching Gu YuMian'slive broadcast. The 'South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date' happened to be from a very wide social circle. His real name was Lin Lin.
Lin Lin was born on Takk and had just finished college — at least four or five hundred of Gu YuMian's six hundred plus fans came from him. After watching the live broadcast, he immediately sent his long circle of friends the recording of Gu YuMian, saying: The immortal food, although he is a new man, and also a human, the live content is really interesting, and the cooking is also delicious.
Because he used to be the Student President at his University and also studied media operation, Lin Lin had a very wide circle of communication.
【Lin Lin, blink if you were kidnapped!】
【Ah? Human?! Are they qualified to be anchors these days? Go away.】
【I really can't stand humans. They all stink and speak badly.】
【Looking at the president's face, I want to pay attention to him.】
Some of the people who paid close attention to Gu YuMian were touched by Lin Lin's words and wanted to know what it was like to taste "immortal food", but there were still many who wanted to challenge him with disdain.
After all, no matter which group, most people discriminated against humans. It sounded absurd to watch the live broadcast from a human.
People who were familiar with Lin Lin knew that the old nanny in his family happened to be human, so he was naturally fond of humans. This time, Lin Lin touted the human anchor 'Gu YuMian' to the sky. The credibility of it was questionable.
For example, Lin Yun, Lin Lin's cousin, thought it was fake.
Lin Yun was a blogger from a good family. She lived on Capital Star and recently visited Lin Lin on Takk for a holiday. Takk's technology had developed and flourished in the eyes of Gu YuMian, but for Lin Yun, who was used to living on the Capital Star, Takk was a very rural area.
The suspension devices were slow, the traffic was underdeveloped, and there were few kinds of food — the most important thing was that the entertainment here was too… nothing, it was only chatting and so on!
As a blogger from the Internet, Lin Yun usually liked to explore all kinds of fun things, and she also liked watching live broadcasts. Capital Star's live broadcast projects were various, exciting and interesting, while Takk's live broadcasts were described as 'barren.'
If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't connect to the Star Network in the distant capital, she would never have watched the live broadcasts on Takk. Even if Takk had a popular anchor, Lin Yun couldn't feel better after seeing it. What's more, Gu YuMian was a human anchor without any fans.
With a skeptical attitude, when her cousin Lin Lin said that the anchor was on the air, she clicked into his studio. There were a few people with the same mentality as Lin Yun.
It was all dark and in the next second, they switched to the first view of the snow leopard.
The little snow leopard was lying lazily on Gu YuMian's shoulder, with its right paw on Gu YuMian's neck. The young man's skin was delicate, warm and clean. Almost immediately, the audience, who shared the visual angle with the little snow leopard, could experience that feeling.
This was a spring afternoon, the white curtain couldn't cut off the strong light from the outside, hazy as it penetrated a little. Gu YuMian had a very light smell of bamboo leaves and seawater. When around him, it seemed that time slowed down for a second, and everyone just wanted to roll and sleep in his arms.
The bullet curtain was quiet for a moment. No one wanted to break the quiet atmosphere. It took a long time for someone to say:
【Cat's Meow: Feeling inexplicably comfortable.】
【One Ice Cream: I know why Xue Tuan is so sleepy all the time. I don't want to do anything but sleep in his arms when I stay with the host!】
Gu YuMian looked at the barrage and thought it was funny. They could feel the slight vibration from his chest. The laughter was very light and it overflowed from his throat. It rang in their ears and it was so beautiful.
As promised by Gu YuMian yesterday, the little snow leopard didn't need to do anything for this live broadcast.
—His live content was [Taking care of the baby at home.] This happened to be what he was good at, and in this way, while taking care of the snow leopard, it could also be broadcasted live, killing two birds with one stone.
"TuanTuan, come," Gu YuMian took the snow leopard off his shoulder and held him in his arms. "Massage for you."
Later, he would give the snow leopard a bath. First, he would help it relax. Gu YuMian's strength was well controlled, first by gently pressing his chin, then slowly transitioning to his back. The little snow leopard was very satisfied with the service of the human. His gray and blue eyes narrowed, and his long tail circled Gu YuMian's wrist.
The audience could feel that the slender hands seemed to light a warm and harmless fire, letting all four limbs immerse in the relaxing rhythm.
A massage was defined as an 'appetizer' by Gu YuMian, but unexpectedly, the reactions in the bullet curtain exceeded his imagination.
【Twilight Goat: What's the matter? It's so comfortable and drowsy!】
【Blush: + 1.】
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: WTF!】
"…"
【There's a Cloud: You are exaggerating.】
This 'There's a Cloud' was Lin Yun. 2 She admitted that she was really lost in the last few seconds and this human seemed to be a little special. She had no bad feelings for him and wanted to be close to him. Especially when he was touching the back, he had some abilities.
But soon she woke up again. It was good, but why was there such an exaggeration on the bullet curtain? What's more, other humans were disgusting. Why would they like this host? She was a materialist who didn't believe in the things she did not see in person.
【There's a Cloud: Isn't what some people are saying too much? He's not a fairy anchor. What can he do that other hosts can't?】
This remark was immediately echoed. Among the more than one hundred audience members, many of them were originally looking for trouble with the word 'human', and finally found an opportunity.
【There Are Deer in the Forest: + 1. I don't think he's good enough.】
【I Like Combing MaoMao's Hair: The anchor should have some skills, but there is no such magic to boast about.】
【Floral Water: What kind of boast is this? Any anchor in the Capital Star living quarter will kill him. I'll tell you straight, the lower races are not qualified to broadcast live. Go away.】
The words from 'Floral Water' involved racial discrimination, which was soon detected by the machine, but the original harmonious atmosphere of the barrage was also broken. The audience who liked Gu YuMian were not happy.
【Silk White Moon: The Qing Dynasty is long gone! 3 Why hasn't racial discrimination died yet? How about the human anchor? I just like the human anchor. Can you stop?】
【Cat's Meow: Is the Capital Star so amazing? Please go back to your Capital Star. Our tiny Takk temple can't hold a big Buddha like you.】
The sense of crisis grew stronger and the 'relaxed and comfortable' atmosphere that Gu YuMian was trying to create was destroyed. There were a lot of audience members who came in to relax and have fun. Looking at the bad atmosphere that was about to start, the members started to think about whether to leave or not.
The situation was somewhat urgent.
The little snow leopard broke free from Gu YuMian's arms and watched the barrage flying by line after line.
That was the expression of the Emperor when he was impatient with something. With a little indifference, such a small snow leopard seemed to be standing against the barrage. The indoor temperature suddenly dropped two degrees, and a layer of frost formed on the windows, and began spreading around. 4
Lin Yun's words were also impulsive. Seeing the bullet screen saying more and more, she began to regret and feel guilty. Just thinking about how to make it up, she heard Gu YuMian speak with a smile, "Humans are not a lower race."
Everyone thought he was going to say something against those people. Gu YuMian rubbed the snow leopard's little head, pacified the little guy first, and then made up the second half of the sentence, "I'm 1.8 meters, and quite tall." (5'9")
Because there were all kinds of races, including small animals, whose average height was only 1.5 meters (4'9"), Gu YuMian's 1.8 meters was not 'inferior.'
Everyone: "…"
【Cat's Meow: Pfft, yes, you are the tallest.】
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: 1.8 meters is above average? I refuse to believe this since I'm 1.9 meters. (6'2")】
【One Ice Cream: Is he really tall? I'm 2.8 meters (9'2"), a Giraffe girl you know?!】
Gu YuMian, "Sister Giraffe has fouled."
This kind of popular comment appeared, and the curtain began to be filled with 'hahaha.' A lot of people began to share their height and tell stories related to their height. The topic suddenly diverged, and the air was cleared.
Many people were actually quarreling with the wind and once they calmed down and thought about it, the massage just given by Gu YuMian was actually very comfortable. Moreover, with the special temperament of Gu YuMian, even if they didn't do anything, being around him could make them relaxed and comfortable.
Besides, if they wanted to leave the studio, they could do so easily.
Originally, a very sharp topic was brought up because of Gu YuMian. Lin Yun had to admit that Gu YuMian had very strong control and adaptability.
After observing the barrage for a while, the little snow leopard lazily nestled in Gu YuMian's arms. The frost on the French windows dissipated as if nothing had happened.
Of course, there were still viewers who were dubious.
【There Are Deer in the Forest: If the anchor can only do this, it's not enough.】
Gu YuMian saw the barrage and only smiled.
"Let's continue then," Gu YuMian picked up the snow leopard and said, "I will give Xue Tuan a bath."
A wild snow leopard did not need to take a bath and even the domestic cat did not need to take a bath often. Gu YuMian checked the data and found that the animals in the interstellar age had the habit of bathing, but the frequency and manner were slightly different.
After the incident, Lin Yun had a good feeling for Gu YuMian, but when she heard that he was going to help the snow leopard bathe, she doubted him again.
—They were born as cats who did not like baths. No matter how exquisite their techniques and facilities were, they didn't like baths. Lin Yun thought that the little anchor might have a fall again.
Gu YuMian carried the snow leopard into the cleaned bathroom. The bathroom was originally a humid and dark environment, but it was transformed into another shape by Gu YuMian. Warm yellow light, not too much moisture, the ground was covered with cartoon printed anti-skid blankets; the translucent frosted glass was not too dark and didn't give the feeling of a narrow space, but appeared bright.
Lin Yun thought Gu YuMian would use a bathtub to hold water like other anchors, which was the 'bath' that many people highly praised. This kind of 'baths' were the most popular and common way to take a bath in the live broadcast in the living area, but Lin Yun didn't feel comfortable at all.
But Gu YuMian did not do as she thought he would.
"A lot of cats don't like water very much," Gu YuMian said as he sat on a small stool and asked the snow leopard to step on the soft non-slip mat. "You can try to change to a bright environment. Don't use a bathtub. Just wash it with warm water."
Suddenly pushed into a small humid environment, many animals would feel very afraid, which was the reason why bathtubs were not suitable. The water temperature Gu YuMian used was a little higher than what people normally used when taking a bath. The average temperature of a snow leopard was about 38 degrees (100F), which was a suitable temperature for them.
"What would you like to eat later?" Gu YuMian asked as he scratched the back of the snow leopard's ear. "Fried mutton was yesterday. Do you want something new?"
The little snow leopard stepped on Gu YuMian's knee, pushed Gu YuMian to sit on the ground, and found a position in Gu YuMian's arms, so he was satisfied.
The live broadcast was in the first perspective of the snow leopard, and the audience had a strong sense of substitution. With the previous massage, many people were completely relaxed, because some of the burdens and fears raised by 'bathing' were completely diluted by the relaxed atmosphere created by Gu YuMian.
In addition, Gu YuMian didn't say anything serious but talked about dinner, which made people look forward to the next thing.
Then, a stream of water with just the right temperature fell on the skin. 5
The feeling of wet fur didn't make people feel uncomfortable. The host's hands washed gently along with the water flow. There was a unique scent of warm water in the air, mixed with a little fragrance of sea salt. The sense of hearing and smell reached the most comfortable state at the same time, making people squint their eyes.
It seemed like they were transported back to a moment during their most young and ignorant time, lying by the stream or river for a nap, letting the warm stream flow over their skin, taking away all the dirt, and flowing to the sea.
Gu YuMian saw all kinds of bath solutions for cat children at the shop yesterday. He analyzed the ingredients and didn't feel very good about using them. Later, he started to mix his own by himself.
He knew the most comforting scent and touch for the little snow leopard. He bought materials on Star Network and created a small bottle of body wash.
Now, it was good.
The little snow leopard squinted and unconsciously rubbed his head against the palm of his hand.
"After the bath," Gu YuMian whispered to him as he washed, "let's get in the sun, brush your hair and eat delicious food. I made jasmine tea and I'll give you a taste later."
Listening to Gu YuMian's clear and gentle voice, many people suddenly came up with a variety of scenes, which was their feeling of 'home.' There were frozen watermelons on a Summer afternoon, lying by the fire in the Winter, and basking in the sun when sleepy in Spring and Autumn.
Surrounded by warm water, the temperature seemed to flow into the blood vessels, and the pores all sighed. That water did not flow to the ears and nose, the strength was just right, was not weak, and would not bring pain. Gu YuMian was very slow. He never seemed to be in a hurry. People couldn't help trusting him and relying on him. They wanted to be closer to him.
The curtain was quiet for a long time. Everyone was absorbed in the experience. It was a loss to miss a second. It wasn't until near the end that the barrage began to increase.
【Cat's Meow: Absolutely lovely.】
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: If only the host was my older brother or younger brother, I would be homesick! QAQ】
【Silk White Moon: Really, really, really good! The smell of this shower gel is very light, but it smells good. The way the host helps to bathe is also very comfortable, and the overall atmosphere is very comfortable! Ah ah ah, I don't know what to say, in a word, it's very comfortable!】
【One Ice Cream: Immortal host!】
【There's a Cloud: Well, I have to say that the anchor has some abilities.】
Even Lin Yun, who came to watch the live broadcast with a provocative attitude, couldn't say anything bad at this time. She admitted that even though she had seen so many live broadcasts, there had never been a live broadcast like Gu YuMian's.
Washing away the tiredness of the whole body and mind, he let people completely relax and step into the simple and warm rhythm of life.
One after another, the special effects of gifts exploded on the screen. They were just trying to watch the live broadcast and never expected to get so many surprises. Several viewers even clicked 'give all' directly.
And 'There's a Cloud' also gave the most expensive gift, 'Fireworks.' After the huge special effects, it directly triggered a lottery for the whole platform. Countless people poured into the studio to draw prizes, and then they were attracted by the live content and stayed.
Gu YuMian didn't like to be distracted when he focused on one thing. He helped the little snow leopard take a bath carefully, wiped away the water with a towel that was heated to a warm temperature, and said, "Okay, let's lay in the sun and comb our hair, okay?"
The bullet curtain began to brush up pieces of "okay" and "I'll listen to you".
Gu YuMian, "…?!"
Wait a minute, wasn't it just a hundred people? How could he brush looking through thousands of messages on the bullet screen?
Now that the draw triggered by the gift 'Fireworks' was over, the number for the live broadcast was still soaring!

Chapter 7: The Ancestor of Their Family is a Human
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Editor: Sulo
What Gu YuMian didn't know was that it was 5:30 p.m. on a Friday, and most people were off work at this time. Many people were tired out after a week's work, sitting on the suspension device, watching the live broadcast to kill time.
The cover of Gu YuMian's studio was a random photo taken by the optical computer yesterday. The young man in the picture was wearing an apron, with clear and handsome eyebrows, and a tall and slender body. The warm sunset in the corner of the room was spreading its color. The hot water was releasing white steam into the air. The whole picture had a kind of comfortable and warm beauty.
The image was full of the meaning of 'home,' and it immediately stabbed at the hearts of countless people. 1
They were either alone in a big city, or tortured by Party A's customers all day, and they were very tired at this time. Now the most popular song and dance games on the platform were live, fast-paced and noisy, but many people were reluctant to click to join.
One hour after the live room was opened, there would be a recommendation list called [Latest live broadcasts]. In this recommendation position, one could increase their audience by more than one hundred, but Gu YuMian… he went up by three thousand.
In addition, the 'Fireworks' gift from 'There's a Cloud' attracted many people from the whole platform to draw prizes. Thousands of people who came to draw prizes were attracted to stay by the content. Now, there were more than eight thousand people in the live broadcast room hosted by Gu YuMian.
This data was still increasing.
【Matcha Mousse: Is this a bath? Ahh!】
【Spin, jump and close your eyes: My God, what kind of immortal anchor is this? I want to hold his thigh.】
【Lu Lu Can't: I like the anchor so much because he doesn't talk much, and doesn't ask for gifts and is concerned, and it's very decompressing and relaxing.】
【Merlin: I was waiting for the live broadcast from Cigarette at six o'clock and I wanted to have a look. Now I don't want to go?!】
Gu YuMian was surprised by the audience at the beginning. He thought there was a bug in the system, but he soon calmed down. He didn't change the rhythm because of the increase of heat, but introduced it briefly and continued to follow the plan.
"Let's bask in the sun," Gu YuMian took the snow leopard to the living room. "The light is comfortable at this time."
This was not the outdoor balcony, but the living room window. The curtains were rolled up, and there were several cushions that Gu YuMian had already arranged on the floor beneath the window. A pot of hot tea was warming on the stove and Gu YuMian covered the floor with wool-like carpets. It was comfortable to step on them barefoot and the air was filled with the fragrance of jasmine tea.
Without turning on the lights, the natural glow of dusk settling in spread all over the room and from the window. It was the city lights that lit everything up.
Gu YuMian had set a time for tonight's food, which was now steaming, and the food would be delicious.
"This is jasmine tea." Gu YuMian poured himself and the little snow leopard a glass. He half-closed his eyes and sniffed the tea. He also relaxed completely. "Good smell, TuanTuan, try it?"
The tea was in a small bag that he found when cleaning. Gu YuMian was surprised that the tea had not expired. He liked tea and thought there was no tea in the interstellar era. This package of small tea leaves let him establish a kind of delicate connection with the past.
The little snow leopard sat on the cushion and looked down at the cup as if to see what it was. A few seconds later, he reached out his paw and pulled the teacup.
Gu YuMian wanted to laugh a little bit. He put the cup in front of him and let the little guy smell it.
The snow leopard's nose moved. After a while, it narrowed its eyes and looked at Gu YuMian.
"Does it smell good?" Gu YuMian held up his little paw pad, pressed it on the edge of the teacup, warmed his paw, and let him lick it to taste it.
A large number of audience members had just come in. Many people didn't understand what this live broadcasting was at the beginning. There were many kinds of talks. But gradually, tens of thousands of people became quiet and Gu YuMian took them to his rhythm.
Such a comfortable atmosphere and environment, from soft cushions to steaming hot tea to the dusky sunset, all flowed into the body along with the temperature of the palm, making all the cells that were exhausted for a whole week relax.
In such an atmosphere, one's worry was packed up and thrown into the night. There was no need to worry or think about anything.
Maybe they could sleep well tonight. Many people had this idea in mind.
Bullet screen comments:
【Mustard Potato Chips: The first time I saw this kind of bath, I love it very much. But what is jasmine tea?】
【Cat's Meow: Yes, yes, I just wanted to ask, what is jasmine tea?】
【Silk White Moon: Am I ignorant?】
【There's a Cloud: I haven't heard of it, but I tried it. It's very special.】
Gu YuMian, "?"
Wait, he seemed to have made a mistake. He thought that there was tea culture in this era. Was it just a misunderstanding?
"It's, er, a drink from my hometown," Gu YuMian said vaguely. "People drink more there. Mn, I'll comb TuanTuan's hair. It's almost time for dinner."
'Grooming' immediately aroused everyone's interest and they soon forgot about the jasmine tea.
Just now, although Gu YuMian paid attention to his movements, he had just taken a bath after all. After drying, the fur of the snow leopard was a bit disordered. Gu YuMian didn't dare to take a high-power hair dryer out in case it frightened him. He just took a small hairdryer and dried off the water slowly.
Snow leopards used to live in the snow mountain on the plateau. They were very resistant to the cold, which meant their hair was long and thick. Many cats had the same trouble and it was very difficult to comb them.
Fortunately, Gu YuMian had the experience.
"If there is a knot in the fur, it must be combed slowly from the inside out," said Gu YuMian, though the fur of the little snow leopard was not knotted. "It can't be combed directly, or it may be pulled off, which is very painful. You can only cut it off if it cannot be combed properly."
He sat cross-legged on the cushion and let the snow leopard sit between his legs.
When Gu YuMian went to buy daily necessities yesterday, he was surprised to find that although there were special combs, they were all sharp-toothed and very dense. People often complained about the pain of combing and now he saw there was a big part of the reason for it.
He carefully selected a suitable wide-toothed comb and spent most of the evening grinding every sharp tooth to a smooth and round blunt.
The way Gu YuMian combed the leopard's hair was very similar to the massage. First, he combed his neck and throat gently and spread to his back, accompanied by a massage with the same rhythm and frequency. The special touch of the blunt head comb was very comfortable, with a little light wood fragrance.
Soon, the little snow leopard half-closed his eyes comfortably and lay drowsily in Gu YuMian's arms. His tail swept down to Gu YuMian's ankle, then circled to show its appreciation and affection for the human.
The old audience who watched the live broadcast of Gu YuMian lay flat and enjoyed it, while the new audience who just came in a few minutes ago was completely shocked!
【Mustard chips: !】
【Bankrupt Sister: WTF! WTF is not enough to describe my mood!】
【Bruce Lee: ah ah ah ah ah! What kind of immortal is this? Scalp numbness!】
【Teddy Tweet: I spent three thousand star coins yesterday to go to a professional shop to comb my hair… No match to the anchor! It was killing me! The shopkeeper also lied to me that the hair combing all over the world was just as painful!】
Many people found that the anchor was human. In fact, they were with a dubious attitude but, at this moment, they were completely convinced that despite his race, this anchor was brilliant.
In the warm dusk, the tea fragrance rippled in the air and the young man's fingers were clean and warm. He had a very light smell of sea salt and bamboo leaves, which made people want to rub up in his palm. When the comb slowly passed through the hair on the body, it seemed to be washed over and over by the warm seawater. It was not too abrupt, but it was very, very comfortable.
In fact, in the face of a strange animal, Gu YuMian couldn't guarantee that he could comb it well.
Combing really depended on the mood of the animal. Some cats were wary of strangers, unable to trust and relax. Even professional grooming could make them feel pain. But in the interstellar age, the lack of information was a big problem, as could be seen from the fact that all combs had pointed teeth.
On the screen, there was another wave of gifts.
Several spectators were lavish, two or three fireworks exploded at the same time, which activated the whole platform lottery, and a large number of spectators swarmed in again.
By the time Gu YuMian was done, the number of viewers had risen to thirty thousand, while his number of fans had broken eight thousand. This was a very good result for a newcomer who had just broadcasted live for two days, which Gu YuMian didn't expect.
At the time of broadcasting, many people advised him to take advantage of the high popularity and broadcast more for a while. Why not earn money?
But Gu YuMian declined.
He prepared so much content himself that he would not disturb his pace because of high or low popularity.
Now that he started to raise a child. Gu YuMian developed a good routine, turned off the light and went to bed at 9:30 p.m. What he didn't know was that, because the audience recommended him spontaneously, his number of fans had been rising, and he soon made the top new list.
On the new talent list were the top thirty newcomers in accordance to their popularity in Takk, who were expected to compete for the only place left for Takk's 'new talent support project'.
Overnight, countless attention was focused on the new human anchor.
The host, Cigarette was also one of them.
He was the first in the rookie list and the one who was most likely to win. Cigarette started at six o'clock every night. According to common sense, within half an hour of his starting time, his audience would rise to more than 100,000, and more on weekends.
But today was an exception. His numbers were cut.
He looked at the far lower than expected number and finally heard the name 'Gu YuMian' from others.
Originally, the quota for viewers had been basically settled, but Gu YuMian, a newcomer with great potential, had become a hot topic in the Takk live circle this weekend.
"It's just a human anchor," he said. After the broadcast, Cigarette could no longer suppress his anger. "It's too much."
The next day, afternoon.
It was Saturday, when others had dinner and had nothing to do, they hung out on the Star Network and tweeted. Suddenly, many people swiped to an entertainment blogger they were following who had just posted a long microblog.
"There's a Cloud V 2: I found an unexpected surprise when I went to Takk this time. [Video] The immortal host is Gu YuMian. As long as you watch his live broadcast, we will be good friends!"
'There's a Cloud' had been doing self-media for many years, focusing on exploring food, drinks and play on various planets, doing tutorials and strategies, etc. Because her evaluation was very pertinent, and the number of things she vouched for was very small, so over the years, she had accumulated a large number of fans.
After she sent this microblog, the response was very warm, and of course, the content was mixed.
【Wife, have you been stolen?】
【YunYun, how much advertising fee did you charge? Do you think so many fans can't support you?】
【I'm not good at human physiology!】
'There's a Cloud' had previously hinted at her aversion to humans. Therefore, when she sent this microblog, many people thought that she either charged advertising fees or said the opposite of what she was thinking out of curiosity.
For many years, out of the stereotype of human beings, many people praised her as a courtesy. But some of them, out of curiosity, clicked on the video. Her recorded holographic video only showed an excerpt of less than two minutes.
Dusky, soft cushions, warm water on the stove bubbling, the rippling smell of food fragrance, the wide teeth comb gently running along the skin.
The video was too short. Many people watched it for the first time and some of them were confused. They watched it for the second time and gradually felt a little bit. The third time—
It was all over.
Though the microblog from 'There's a Cloud' didn't gain popularity, since it involved a human, the video was spread out by dozens of people, from microblogs to friend circles.
Just as the video was quietly spreading in the friend circles of Starry Sky City, an auction was going on in the upper urban district. The Capital Star of the empire was divided into three urban areas, i.e. upper, middle and lower. The people in the lower urban areas were the most lively, while the upper urban areas gathered all the dignitaries of Capital Star. The heart of the upper city was the palace.
Entering the upper urban area was a sign of identity, and a place many people wouldn't see in their whole lives.
In the past month, due to His Majesty's tour, the atmosphere in the Upper City had obviously relaxed a lot — it was natural that one didn't need to carry their head high every day, the dignitaries had to keep their backs straight and breathe, and the stage performance auction had been set up.
"The next auction, a box of tea." The auctioneer took a small hammer and said, "The starting price is 50,000-star coins."
Fifty thousand star coins maybe a whole year's living expenses for the common people, but it was nothing for these powerful people.
They all knew a little about this tea, which was just unearthed from Ancient Earth last month. Because of its rich quantum energy, it had been praised for a while. The energetic kind, that if absorbed by the intake, it may enhance the mental strength.
'Tea' contained the highest known energy. When it was first unearthed, a small batch of tea leftover from the royal family was sold for tens of millions of star coins in the upper district. But soon the beautiful bubble burst. It was found that tea contains a lot of energy, but it couldn't be absorbed at all.
Scientists had tried various methods, such as consuming it directly, grinding for medicine, etc., but in the end, the abundant energetic particles were all gone the moment it entered the mouth. The price of tea had been devalued a little bit, and even now, with a 50,000-star coins start, few people were willing to buy it.
"Two hundred thousand." The treasurer raised his hand in a languid mood.
"Five hundred thousand." Another simple voice said.
The chief financial officer didn't expect someone to rob him. After thinking about it, he continued to follow, "Six hundred thousand." For a pile of useless dry leaves, 600,000 was a lot.
It never occurred to the audience that when the auctioneer was about to strike the hammer, the voice that said 500,000 sounded again, "10 million."
There was silence.
Even when tea was most sought after, 10 million coins was a high price.
People couldn't help but wonder, they all wanted to see who this stupid rich second generation was, and then they looked—
A black and white, round creature. It was chubby, looked very simple and honest, looked like a bear, but it was much more lovely than ordinary bears.
Seeing it, everyone understood.
Those who entered the upper urban area, more or less, had an official at home. But their homes were not the same and there was only one panda family left in the whole galaxy. They entered the Upper City area because of their money.
They had been big stars since many generations ago, and they had accumulated enormous financial resources. In order to commemorate their ancestor, they even bought a whole newly developed planet.
"Mr. Guo," the man beside the panda couldn't help asking, "I've always wondered why your family is so persistent about tea? The Academy of Sciences has announced that the energy in tea can't be used by us?"
"Our ancestor liked tea," said the panda, who was called 'Mr. Guo,' replied cheerfully. "My father said that all the tea must be bought by us."
For this reason, tens of millions of star coins were probably nothing.
After the auction, Er ShiSi Guo (24th Wok) left early, but the dignitaries behind him began to gossip.
"The Guo family is too rich!"
"What is this," said the senior, "for the sake of the ancestor, they spent more than that. I don't understand. Those people have been dead for thousands of years."
"There are so many strange things in the Guo house." Another added, "Haven't you heard of those two things?"
"What two?" People were curious.
"First, the way of naming is strange."
The name of this family of pandas all ended with 'Wok'. It was said that the first generation was called Big Wok, and the children of Big Wok were called Second Wok and Third Wok, and then it continued from there.
"What about the other point?"
"Another point—" The man deliberately paused and then said, "It is said that the 'ancestor' of their family is a human being."
Chapter 8: Heavyweight Recommendation
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Editor: Sulo
After the live broadcast, Gu YuMian felt a bit dreamy.
—The viewer rate was so high that he didn't expect it.
"We really have money," Gu YuMian said, holding the snow leopard on the balcony to bask in the moonlight, and began to fantasize. "TuanTuan, I will change my house and have a special entertainment room for you. We will have two chefs. We need the best in everything."
Gu YuMian really wanted to change his house. The snow leopard was full of energy and needed enough space for activities. But he didn't see any amusement facilities and areas outside, even a park, which made him very worried. As a zookeeper, Gu YuMian really had no ambitions. As long as his cubs grew up healthy and happy, it was his greatest satisfaction.
The little snow leopard's grey-blue eyes lazily looked at him. His long tail swept over Gu YuMian's neck and stayed on the human's earlobe, which had a very inconspicuous intimacy.
Gu YuMian was very active. When it came to changing houses, he immediately went to the Star Network to check the prices of large houses above five hundred square meters. Just after the single live broadcast, he had more than 10,000-star coins on his star card, which he thought was a huge sum of money.
Five minutes later.
Gu YuMian said, "Why am I so poor?"
Snow Leopard: "…"
He glanced over and felt puzzled. Wasn't a month's loan 100,000-star coins? It was not a lot of money. In the interstellar age, the land utilization rate was very high, even in the remote Takk, it couldn't be too much to say that there was not a lot of land left. But this was not a lot of money in the eyes of the Emperor who had a whole star to himself.
Gu YuMian sat on the windowsill, holding the paw pads of the snow leopard, and said with a little frustration, "I'm useless. My baby is so cute but I can't even take him to live in a big house."
The little snow leopard pressed his paw on Gu YuMian's face, suddenly worried that the human was crying, and went to see his eyes.
Gu YuMian's eyes were beautiful, clear and light brown, like flowing honey in the moonlight. He looked at the little snow leopard from a very close distance, raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a moment, he lowered his head and kissed his forehead.
The young man's lips were clean and soft, with a light scent of bamboo leaves, falling gently in the night.
The little snow leopard's tail turned stiff. He hurriedly retreated two steps, subconsciously raised his right paw to touch his forehead, and quickly put it down.
Gu YuMian, "?"
The little snow leopard sat solemnly, then stood up and circled twice, suddenly jumped to the higher flowerpot rack, and looked at Gu YuMian. It seemed that only looking down on the human from the top could bring it a little peace and let the burning heat of his ears go down.
Gu YuMian, "?"
Cubs needed to be caressed, kissed or touched, which could give them a sense of security. This was a habitual action for him. When there were no parents, it was necessary for the keeper to play this role.
"Ah, you don't like it. I won't kiss you next time," Gu YuMian said, scratching his chin. "It's ten o'clock. Let's go to bed."
This matter had a great impact on the little snow leopard and he didn't want to let Gu YuMian carry him away. He lay down on his own with the newly bought little bed and didn't look at Gu YuMian.
Gu YuMian left a lamp switched on in the living room, stood at the door, sighed and went back to his room to sleep.
Same evening.
After Gu YuMian's breathing became more and more even, the bedroom door which was slightly ajar was gently pushed open, and a small dark shadow jumped onto bed with ease, looking down at the sleeping human.
Gu YuMian was obviously immersed in a sweet dream. When he fell asleep, there was a half shallow dimple near his lips.
"Eight hundred… Ha… It's not big enough," he muttered, "to get a thousand square meters, no, it has to be by the school district seascape room. My cub has to go to the best school."
Snow Leopard: "…" School district seascape room?
As usual, he wanted to find a comfortable position in the young man's arms. His eyes stopped on the young man's lips and he suddenly hesitated.
The white curtain was gently rolled up by the wind, and the air in the room was still for a moment.
Next second, the snow leopard disappeared.
Instead, a man in a double-breasted uniform and military boots, with a tall and slender figure highlighted by the lines of uniform stood next to the bed. He lowered his eyelids, his grey-blue pupils dipped in the moonlight, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. He leaned over and reached for the human's hand. His index finger slipped from the young man's eyes and trailed to the corner of his lips. Suddenly, he pressed on the pale lips slightly— 1
It was just then.
The baby's optical computer in the shape of a watch blinked rapidly.
A frown on the man's brow immediately showed his displeasure and impatience. He paused for two seconds and finally stopped the funny optical computer and walked out of the room.
Downstairs, the special suspension device had been waiting for a long time. The design with a streamline body and gold titanium alloy was different from the old furnishings around. Fennick, who had been waiting for a long time, bowed forward and presented the customized optical computer with the same shape as the infant's optical computer.
The Emperor stepped up to the suspension device, followed by Mr. Fennick, who respectfully said, "Your Majesty, as for Duke Rick, we are also working hard these two days—"
The Emperor impatiently interrupted him, "I don't want to hear excuses."
Fennick lowered his head, cold sweat sliding down his forehead. These two days, they had been busy looking for His Majesty. They were really slacking over the case of the Duke and gave the other a chance to linger. Thankfully, the Emperor did not pursue it.
Fennick suddenly heard His Majesty's voice, "What is a seascape room in the school district?"
Fennick: Huh?
"…" The Emperor also seemed to think that this problem was stupid. His face was gloomy, and he never repeated it again.
Ten seconds later, Fennick heard the low voice of the Emperor again, and there was a very secret hint of care in his indifference, "Information."
"Oh, that data," Fennick thought of this. He operated on the optical computer twice and immediately opened a light screen in the middle of the air. "All the data you ordered for is here. He is the third son of the family…"
On the light screen, all the information about 'Gu YuMian' was shown. From birth to school, adulthood to the age of nineteen, then how he came to Takk alone.
The Emperor's brow furrowed a little.
The next morning, when Gu YuMian woke up, the snow leopard was sleeping soundly on his chest.
Gu YuMian, "…"
It turned out that the little ancestor snuck over every night and now he finally knew the reason why he slept with a stuffy chest. The little snow leopard would usually be up earlier than Gu YuMian, and his working and rest time was very stable. He didn't know what he had done last night, but the leopard still hadn't woken up.
Gu YuMian pinched his pad and suddenly found that the little snow leopard was stepping on a pile of cards under his right paw.
Gu YuMian, "?"
He picked up the cub for a look.
—Floating Light Island Villa 1, 2, 3 permission cards, Haiyi Yueju top duplex permission card.
All kinds of access cards were piled up together, all of which were the most high-end housing access cards of Takk and Capital Star. The interstellar age authority cards were a combination of a key and real estate certificate.
The most terrifying thing was that Gu YuMian had seen these places yesterday when he looked up the data. 'Floating Light Island' was a new villa in the city of Starry Sky, the Capital City. In addition to the palace, the most high-end luxury houses in the whole galaxy were built there, with each building valued at more than one billion star coins. The authority cards of these three buildings were now in front of him.
Of course, it could be fake.
But Gu YuMian saw that the simulation image projected in the half-space by the authority card and saw that it was extremely beautiful — it was not fake.
Gu YuMian, "…" It's over. The cub had learned to steal. Was it time to turn himself in?
In an hour.
It was hard to deal with the 'stolen goods,' but Gu YuMian was still preaching to the snow leopard, "Xue Tuan, we'll have money for a big house, but gentlemen need to earn money."
The little snow leopard listened impatiently. At last, he even listened and fell asleep in Gu YuMian's arms.
Gu YuMian, "…"
Gu YuMian was soft again. He was really like a parent who doted on his children without any principles. Gu YuMian made a deep self-reflection and then happily cooked for the little snow leopard. Gu YuMian pondered which day he would take the snow leopard outdoors. He couldn't always be bored with the cub inside, but he had to be prepared in advance to prevent danger.
The little snow leopard didn't wake up until noon. Gu YuMian had made lunch.
After lunch, Gu YuMian received a message from the landlord, "Mr. Gu, my daughter is getting married soon. The house can't be rented to you anymore. Please move out as soon as possible in the next two days."
Gu YuMian, "?"
He had just settled down here, and now he had to move?
The little snow leopard glanced at the landlord's news at random, not surprised at all. But Gu YuMian was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't notice his eyes. Gu YuMian thought that his house was too small for the snow leopard. Just, where was he going to find a house in such a short time?
He logged onto the Star Network to look for a house. Coincidentally, as soon as he logged on, he refreshed and saw new house rental news.
【Takk Haiyi Yueju building on the top floor, with a small garden and a sea view room. The room is up for rent as the owner is leaving for Capital Star to study. Rent: 500 star coins/month.]
Gu YuMian, "?"
What was the difference between 500-star coins a month and free delivery? Are you kidding?
It was really too cheap. Gu YuMian couldn't help but look at it again and again even though he knew it might be fake.
Haiyi Yueju was Takk's high-end housing. The top duplex was a new building, the environment was very good and there was also a small garden, which provided enough space for the snow leopard to move around. Gu YuMian was very excited about this.
Didn't it coincide with his ideas? Was the human dissatisfied? The little snow leopard was impatient with his grinning and chirping. He looked up at the details interface and clapped his paw on the [I want to rent] button.
Gu YuMian, "Xue Tuan!"
However, before he could press the "Cancel" button, the owner of the house there called in a hurry, "This is Mr. Gu right? Would you like to rent it? I'm flying to Capital Star today. If you like, you can move in today."
Gu YuMian, "Er…"
The little snow leopard yawned indifferently.
"Is the price unsatisfactory?" The owner heard the little snow leopard's voice, slightly shaking."I can lower it, 400 — no, how about 100-star coins?"
Gu YuMian, "…"
Five hours later.
Gu YuMian finally paid the homeowner 10,000-star coins, which was all of his current wealth. Even so, he still had a sense of conscience about taking advantage of others. He was afraid of being a liar, but after careful investigation, he found that there were no flaws. Because the original landlord urged him to move away, and he didn't have a lot of luggage. That afternoon, Gu YuMian moved with the snow leopard.
High-end housing was really different.
The environment of the community was very good; it was quiet in the middle of the noise from the outside world. The rockery and wooden corridor were a bit like a Japanese courtyard. 2 The property management personnel were very professional, not showing obvious discrimination because Gu YuMian was a human, but they were perfunctory, even very helpful.
As for the internal environment of the house, there was nothing to say.
There were two floors of the duplex, one floor had the living room, and the second floor had a study and bedroom, with a small garden and swimming pool on the top floor. There was a boundless blue sea and blue sky outside the large bay window. The wooden floor was also warm when walking barefoot. 3
The house had its own intelligent Butler system, which could automatically identify one's race as soon as they entered the door, adjust the air conditioning to the optimal temperature, and open the curtains.
"Xue Tuan, it's worth my life to live in such a house," Gu YuMian said contentedly, holding the snow leopard on his back on the sofa and basking in the sun. "After meeting you, my luck has gotten better and better."
First of all, he found such a little baby, and then found a good job. It was the dream life of Gu YuMian to have a cub and a house. He couldn't help but rub his head on the fur along the neck of the snow leopard and took a deep breath, which made him feel happy.
The little snow leopard pushed his head away in disgust. This kind of house, in its eyes, was just barely liveable. Gu YuMian was so happy now but he would go to the palace in the future. Wasn't it crazy to be happy about this?
Gu YuMian, of course, did not know that a certain Majesty had planned for him to enter the palace in the future. Because of the smart home system, he didn't need to do any housework. Even his luggage was automatically collected and placed by the small robot. Gu YuMian only arranged the room and nest of the snow leopard himself.
After the arrangement, it was time for dinner.
Gu YuMian just remembered: I was busy moving this afternoon and forgot to prepare the ingredients for dinner. What should I do? Moreover, there was a live broadcast today.
Gu YuMian thought for a moment and soon had an idea in his mind. "It's a pleasure to move. Let's indulge tonight and make delicious food for our little ancestor."
In an hour.
All kinds of food materials had been processed, Gu YuMian logged into the Star Live platform. As soon as he logged in, Gu YuMian was overwhelmed by 99+ messages and comments. Some of them were advertisements and new fans urging for a live broadcast. Of course, there were all kinds of abuse from animals that discriminated against humans too.
There were two official messages from Star Live Platform.
The first one was: Congratulations, Mr. Gu, on your new rank. Current rank: 13.
This meant that his popularity and the number of fans reached the target, ranking 13th in the new anchor list of Takk.
The second one was: The system has arranged the recommended spot for you, please be sure to start broadcasting at the specified time. Recommended position: heavyweight rank, recommended time: 6:00-8:00 p.m.
The recommended position for heavyweights were not bad but between six and eight… It was so embarrassing as it was during the time most would be eating. If he was creating live food, it would be okay, but the other live traffic in the living areas was very poor. After all, who wanted to learn to comb, bathe and cut nails when eating?
Gu YuMian's popular live broadcast was where he combed hair yesterday. Therefore, everyone had defined him as a lifestyle kind of anchor. If he thought about it a little bit, he had been blacked out during this time.
But Gu YuMian didn't understand the twists and turns at all. He made a general preparation and then turned on the live broadcast.
"Hello, everyone," he said, holding the paw of the snow leopard up for the camera. "I'm Gu YuMian, this is Xue Tuan. Tonight's live broadcast is about food and entertainment after dinner. You can choose your favorite time to watch."
Two minutes into the broadcast, the number of viewers quickly exceeded four figures, moving towards five figures.
One of the viewers, who had been waiting to see Gu YuMian, thought it was a joke, "…"
Wait, what about the agreed grooming and bath? And what about the massage?
Of course, he didn't know this.
At this moment, it had been just half a day since 'There's a Cloud' released the recorded video.
In this half-day, enough videos quietly fired back and forth in the circle of friends of Capital Star, enough viewers of Capital Star found the server climbing software, connected to the Takk server, and quietly paid attention to the human anchor.
As a result, Gu YuMian started broadcasting for five minutes, and the number of viewers directly exceeded ten thousand.
Chapter 9: Live Barbecue
Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
Editor: Sulo is a Slave to the Little Ancestor Snow Leopard
Unprepared, Gu YuMian was shocked by the sharp rise in the number of people.
Of course, 10,000 people was not a huge number as it was a hot broadcasting time. The most popular live broadcast could reach 100,000 or even millions of viewers, but Gu YuMian was satisfied.
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: Clock in! Scatter flowers! Put me to sleep!】
【Brother Flathead: Secretly, I came over from the Capital Star to explore! QAQ】
【I love rolling: Over the wall + 1, I'm secretly watching a live broadcast of a human anchor, saying so would have me laughed at by my classmates… But that little video is really on top!】
【Meinianda: Can the host cook? Looking forward to it.】
Gu YuMian watched the barrage for a while before he realized that the increase in his audience was because of a fan who sent the footage of his last live broadcast to the Capital Star. Many of the audience said that they hated humans. But in fact, they quietly played the video in a circular way and finally touched the Takk Star Network to explore.
He was in a bit of a funk.
"Ah, I won't talk much nonsense, Xue Tuan is hungry," Gu YuMian scratched the chin of the snow leopard. The little ancestor was impatient when he waited for him to greet the audience. Then he went to the prepared tools. "Let's start."
The line of sight went black. Then, the audience switched to the view of the snow leopard.
Many people hadn't noticed it from the God's perspective earlier. Only then did they realize that the live broadcast location of the anchor was outdoors. It was a garden with a large space and one could see the sea and sky in the distance at dusk. There was also a swimming pool beside it. Haiyi Yueju's duplex was the most expensive new building in Takk and only a few people recognized it and couldn't help admiring it in their heart.
Gu YuMian set up small wooden tables and stools, a square box, an iron bar, a metal net, and a pile of black things. He neatly stacked raw materials aside and prepared a wooden sign.
Looking at this fragmentary pile, the audience couldn't help wondering. What was the host going to do?
Gu YuMian prepared synthetic mutton, Kobe beef, rabbit and chicken offal, as well as vegetables and fish. He washed his hands and put on transparent gloves. He held a knife in one hand and cut raw materials into small pieces neatly. His long, white fingers moved flexibly and strung small pieces on wooden sticks.
"It's a way of eating in my hometown. It's called barbecue," Gu YuMian said with a smile. "It's very convenient. You can try it when you don't have time to cook for a long time. It's delicious, but it can't be eaten often since it's not good for the body."
The audience looked at the pile of dark things and couldn't help wondering, was this really delicious? Because Gu YuMian had only broadcasted delicious food once, and there were only a few viewers at that time, so most of the viewers were a little worried.
【Melinda: Are we going to eat the black one? Help!】
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: I'm an old viewer. There's nothing bad to say about the cooking skills of the anchor. Please feel at ease!】
【I love rolling: Still a little afraid…】
However, Gu YuMian was well organized and comfortable to watch. Even if they just watched him doing things, they didn't feel bored.
But the little snow leopard didn't like him to focus on the food and ignore his appearance. From time to time, he sniffed Gu YuMian's fingers, or jumped on his shoulder and disordered Gu YuMian's hair.
Gu YuMian, "…" He had to hold the snow leopard so that he could continue to concentrate on the ingredients.
Soon, all the ingredients were strung on the skewers. Gu YuMian marinated them in the prepared sauce and began to process the charcoal.
"It's called 'charcoal,'" Gu YuMian said helplessly. "I bought it online — no, of course, it's not for eating, it's for making a fire. What do you think?"
There was no such eating method as 'barbecue' in the interstellar era. The charcoal Gu YuMian had found was used by some noble clubs in the winter when they were trying to use a retro theme. He bought it and found that the material was the fruit charcoal once used for a barbecue on Earth. He took the safety detector and checked it to make sure it was non-toxic. Gu YuMian used it and the charcoal was neatly stacked in the pit. He lit the fire and poured a little white wine to help the fire and improve the flavor.
Putting the barbecue on the net rack, he put more than a dozen skewers on it, brushed them with oil and brushed them with a little barbecue sauce made by Gu YuMian himself. 1
He had no ultimate pursuit of food and this meal was mainly for the little snow leopard.
The barbecue sauce he made only had a little salt so the taste was not strong, and a child's stomach could stand eating it. The main purpose of this sauce was not for seasoning, but to eliminate the sourness and elevate the freshness of the meat. He had confirmed that Xue Tuan could eat a little spicy so he sprinkled a little pepper on them to improve the color and flavor.
As for the synthetic fish, he did not marinate it in the sauce, but brushed them with the oil, and then squeezed a small amount of lemon juice on them at the end. The fresh lemon was slightly sour and complimented the fish well. 2
Some cats hated citrus, but there were also individual differences. Gu YuMian found that the snow leopard was not very exclusive, even liked it — but he still paid attention to controlling the amount.
Soon a delicious smell of barbeque spread.
Barbecuing was very primitive and simple, but it was undeniable that it was really delicious. Roasted to a slightly burnt golden skin, brushed with a thin layer of honey, the inside was still fresh and delicious meat. Gu YuMian believed that the love of barbecue was written in all biological genes.
【One Ice Cream: AAH! Good smell!】
【I love rolling: Well, I admit it's really fragrant. I almost bit my tongue.】
【There's a Cloud: Good host, I'm late since I had to deal with something today. What is this? It smells delicious. Can you feed it quickly to the leopard?!】
【Meinianda: Group photo with Cloud goddess! In addition, please quickly eat! 5555]
Like the mutton before, Gu YuMian did not roast it completely and only added one layer of honey.
It was the evening, the best time for live food was now. Gu YuMian happened to be in the recommended position of 'heavy recommendation', coupled with novel and high-quality content, the number of audience members was soaring.
The Star Live broadcast was divided into 'living area,' 'game area,' 'entertainment area' and other regions. Each region had a heavy recommended quota, which would be directly displayed on the homepage. Generally speaking, the heavyweight recommendation in the living area was the most vulnerable at this time.
However, the background data records showed that in the past twenty minutes, with the top live broadcasts of all eight districts put together, the audience growth of Gu YuMian's cast had far exceeded that of his peers. So far, he had increased his audience by more than ten thousand, and next to him, the biggest increase was Cigarette who was only at four thousand.
What's more, the two of them made delicious food, and Cigarette was older and had his own traffic, which made the contrast more obvious.
This confirmed the previous rumors: the appearance of Gu YuMian, a potential player of the top newcomer, was likely to shake the position of the new king, Cigarette.
It was a fact that Cigarette could no longer sit still. He wanted to see Gu YuMian, but he didn't expect to lift the stone and hit his own foot.
Cigarette sent a gloomy message to his agent, "Brother, didn't you say you would limit the exposure of that human before? Can you remove his recommendation now?"
Because of the special identity of humans, there were also their own considerations in the Starry Sky Live broadcast. Originally, Gu YuMian signed the contract to test the water. Unexpectedly, the response was so warm. Now it was divided into two groups: one group did not want humans to be too prominent and advocated suppressing him, the other group thought that all the anchors should be fair and speak up according to their strength.
Cigarette's agent was, of course, the first type. At this moment, he was standing in the office of their department head.
"Boss," the agent rubbed his hands, "what are you thinking? Ah, Cigarette is not happy. The human robbed him of his fans. I want to withdraw his recommendation."
The supervisor stared at the light screen, and after a while replied, "I recommend heavyweights, right? Cigarette wants to get rid of him? Okay."
The agent saw him promise so happily and immediately doubted it.
The live broadcast interface showing Gu YuMian was open on the director's light screen, as he casually said, "I just think the recommendation of heavyweight is too inferior. I'll withdraw Gu YuMian from there and move him to the strong recommendation list."
A 'strong recommendation' was the most exposed recommendation position of the whole platform. Only a top-level anchor was qualified for it. Even Cigarette hadn't been offered that seat.
Agent: …
The agent's boss's chair turned around, and the agent saw a fluffy fox tail behind his ass. His eldest brother was staring at the 'barbecue' in the human's live broadcast on the screen, and his eyes were drooling.
Agent: …
After brushing on the honey, he roasted it for a while. Gu YuMian filled the tray with the finished skewers, and put new ones on to continue to roast them. Gu YuMian didn't feed the snow leopard immediately because it was very hot just after roasting. He let the wind cool it first.
He was afraid that the little snow leopard would be burned if he were to eat now, and he was afraid that he would be impatient, so he held the little snow leopard. Gu YuMian stroked his throat and neck from the back of the snow leopard, and gently touched his chin with his index finger bent on the side of his neck.
Gu YuMian's hand just touched the lemon. The fresh and slightly sour fragrance mixed with the sea salt and poured into the nose. The shirt pulled to the elbow showed the white and beautiful arms. There was a kind of nostalgic temperature and touch, just like the audience said, they wanted to be held high by him.
A lot of viewers came here and only watched it secretly. They still felt ashamed to watch the live broadcast of a human.
It was not until this moment that the burden was laid down.
【Wizard of Oz: Absolutely a God! The host is so gentle! 555!】
【I don't like taking a bath: I regret not knowing about this until today. How much did I miss before?!】
【Crak: All the gifts have been given to the host. QAQ It's so carefree and comfortable. It seems that I came back to my childhood.】
Even more remarkable was the food behind the leopard.
Just then the kebab was at proper temperature — not cold, but not too hot. Gu YuMian carefully fed the little snow leopard some mutton.
The audience, from the first angle of view with the little snow leopard, could immediately feel the entrance of the kebab. The outer skin was roasted to a crisp, and the specially prepared sauce washed away the fishy smell of the meat, leaving only the pure fragrance, and then he took a bite inside. The inside was the texture that was fresh and tender to satisfy the taste buds.
The aroma of the fruit charcoal, with its fleshy texture, was not greasy at all. And because it was on a stick, they were not finished after eating only one.
【Silk White Moon: Although I have eaten the food made by the host before, I still think the taste is amazing! Great!】
【Cat's Meow: WTF! It's really delicious! 5555】
【Catalogue Love Letter: The new audience is totally shocked by the host's technology! WTF, what kind of immortal host is this?!】
【There's a Cloud: Thank you, host. I think I'm living the emperor's life.】
The Emperor, "…"
At this moment, the barrage was completely crazy, all kinds of gift effects exploded, and the audience swarmed in like a tide. Gu YuMian limited the interval between the two rounds, but it didn't help. He simply gave up and concentrated on serving his little ancestor.
Lamb kebabs were followed by grilled fish. Lemon juice dripped on the golden surface, inside was soft, no fishy smell, and delicious enough to swallow your tongue.
Although the little snow leopard didn't say anything special, the speed of eating gradually increased, and the long tail swept over the human's wrist to express appreciation. Gu YuMian observed the response of the little snow leopard. After feeding a few kebabs, he picked up the lemonade and handed it to the little snow leopard's mouth at the right time. 3
He added a small piece of ice to the water, which would not be too cold for the stomach. It had a refreshing feeling as it washed away the greasy taste with the lemonade, and it was a wonderful match with the barbecue.
The night wind blew, from here one could overlook the sea at dusk, with the unique fragrance of seawater in the wind. From the view of the little snow leopard, the audience seemed to be able to hear a distant song in their ears. The night flowed by quietly, and they could see the tiny stars above their heads.
The delicious food in their mouth was not too greasy, and Gu YuMian's gentle and patient company was beside them.
—As some viewers thought it was really a fairytale-like day!
Countless barrages and gifts directly put Gu YuMian's live studio on the 'Hot List of the Day'. At this time of the day, when the traffic was the largest, Gu YuMian's popularity was growing higher and higher with this wave of wind, and new audience members were constantly pouring in, and soon he was in the top ten list.
Gu YuMian took good care of the little snow leopard. It took him more than ten minutes until he could look up.
Wait.
150,000 people were watching?!

Gu YuMian had been on the air for a little over an hour, and the number of viewers had exceeded one hundred and fifty thousand and was still rising. One after another, they could hardly see each comment clearly. They had so many things to say.
One hundred and fifty thousand viewers had broken Cigarette's record.
Although Cigarette's average audience could be maintained at one hundred thousand, his peak was only one hundred and forty thousand. At the same time, the same recommended spot, the same food live broadcast, but the number of people in Cigarette's live broadcast room was only one hundred thousand.
To this end, Gu YuMian's response was…
No response.
When the audience number exceeded a certain limit, it was only a number in his eyes, and he couldn't connect this number with the actual one hundred and fifty thousand people. Gu YuMian looked for a while, simply said hello to everyone, and then still did what he planned to.
"Full?" He touched the little snow leopard's head. "Rest if you're full. We can eat salad later."
When feeding the little snow leopard the kebabs, he was stared at by the little ancestor and ate a little. At this time, he was almost full. Gu YuMian prepared a light lemonade for the snow leopard, but quietly mixed himself a cocktail.
This era's light rum, mixed with lime juice and soda, plus mint and micro sugar, created the classic mojito. 2 After eating a little greasy barbecue, he took a sip of the mojito and thought it was delicious.
The little snow leopard glanced at him suspiciously, reached for the edge of the cup and sniffed, then pushed Gu YuMian on the cheek with its claws.
"Want to drink?" Gu YuMian shook his head, "No, alcohol intake will—"
The little snow leopard yawned absentmindedly. Just as Gu YuMian was preaching, he took a sip of the drink in the human's hand from the position he had just drunk at. After a moment, he squinted happily.
The little snow leopard moved too fast. Gu YuMian had his drink sipped from before he could take it back. His heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat!
A snow leopard, after all, was in the cat family. On Ancient Earth, alcohol intake was not good for a cat's liver and brain, and excessive consumption would even lead to death. Gu YuMian panicked until his heartbeat violently and he was short of breath. After a long time, he slowly realized that this was the interstellar era.
The animals had evolved physically and the alcohol, which once killed cats, was now completely harmless, but he still dared not let the little snow leopard taste it.
The little snow leopard looked at him in a strange way. He hesitated for a moment, stretched his paws and gently pressed it on the forehead of the human. There was imperceptible tension and regret in the gray and blue pupils.
Gu YuMian held his little paw tightly and breathed out a sigh of relief.
It all happened so fast that he didn't even notice that his audience was discussing the cocktail they had just tasted with the little snow leopard.
【Soft: Good drink! It's such a good drink! What kind of cocktail is this?】
【Short Giraffe: My roommate heard that I was watching a live broadcast of a human and was enjoying it. He thought I was crazy.】
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: Ah! The host! I have kissed him indirectly!】
The little snow leopard was stunned, and the color was slightly heavy after a moment, "…"
He had forgotten that the audience was watching from his perspective.
"You really can't drink it. Just now I almost — forget it, you little drunkard." Gu YuMian sighed, shook his head and arranged his mood. He put the glass away and began to make a salad.
It was a salad, but cats didn't need to eat too many vegetables, so he chose a Caesar salad since it was mainly chicken breast with lettuce, onion, and carrot. The synthetic chicken breast had been cut and Gu YuMian added new charcoal, put tin paper on the barbecue net and began to roast the chicken. 3
"It's a salad," Gu YuMian explained. "It's refreshing. It's good after a greasy meal or before a meal."
He poured a little olive oil on the foil, then added the chicken breast, salt, and pepper. Gu YuMian turned it over from time to time and squeezed a layer of lemon juice on both sides of the chicken to make the skin turn a golden yellow.
This process took a long time, and the chicken breast was quickly cooked. Gu YuMian wrapped the chicken breast directly in foil and chilled it for a while.
Lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes were washed, sliced, and neatly stacked on one side, and glass bowls were readied. Gu YuMian mixed the chicken breast with a proper amount of vegetables and put another sauce on it instead of salad dressing.
At this moment, the barbecue tasting was over, and the bullet curtain was quieter. Normally speaking, when a food live broadcast entered this kind of 'intermittent moment,' the audience number would inevitably fall. After all, it would normally be over.
However, Gu YuMian's studio was the opposite, and his audience was growing steadily.
Due to the high amount of viewers, Gu YuMian's live studio had now been on the 'Most Popular of the Day' list, which was also a highly exposed recommendation. The live studio on this leaderboard would be randomly displayed on the homepage, not only with the title of the cover and the live studio but also the content of the live studio could be previewed directly by the audience.
And the content of Gu YuMian's studio was so special and attractive. There was no deafening background music, no dazzling advertisements.
—The sky was a very beautiful golden red 4 with the sea breeze passing over the ear. From the preview, the audience directly followed the little snow leopard sitting on Gu YuMian's shoulder, their ears touched the human's soft hair, and their heartbeat began to slow down with the youth's even breathing, entering a gentle rhythm.
Gu YuMian was very organized. Even if he was just frying chicken breast and making a salad, it gave people a sense of familiarity and attachment. Just looking at it was a kind of enjoyment.
Ten seconds later, many viewers couldn't help but click [Enter Live Room.]
"The vegetables in the salad can be matched to your taste," Gu YuMian said as he filled the bowl. "Ah, so can the sauce."
The snow leopard sat on Gu YuMian's shoulder, with a serious and elegant manner, waiting for Gu YuMian to feed him. Gu YuMian took the chicken breast and tomato and fed the leopard two mouthfuls. At first, the snow leopard was a little reluctant to eat vegetables. After chewing two mouthfuls, he opened his eyes slightly.
—This was a way of eating that had never been seen before.
The roasted chicken breast meat was tender and crispy, mixed with the flavor of the sliced tomato, it cleaned the greasy feeling left in the mouth after the barbecue. And the sauce was the finishing touch, solved the contradiction so that the delicious chicken breast meat and tomato complemented each other.
There were many complicated cooking methods in the interstellar era because there were many cooking books handed down from Ancient Earth, but they were all written by human cooks. The simple things, such as barbecue and salads, were lost.
Since the beginning, new audience members had been pouring in. After tasting the flavor of the salad, this group of doubting new audience members had been completely won over.
【Marshmallow: Ah, ah, delicious! I don't like vegetables but now they seem good to eat!】
【I love Immortals: This taste is awesome! So refreshing and not greasy at all!】
【Liang Feng: I was looking forward to it when the anchor was doing it. It didn't disappoint me.】
【Pink Envelope: I'm sorry, I have no culture, but I can only say that it's really delicious!】
Immediately, the audience began to give gifts, and the barrage was piled up again.
At this moment, Gu YuMian took a look at the number of audience members and was a little surprised. He remembered a line said for weekend traffic, "Don't send too many gifts, if you want to, it's okay, but it's not needed…"
Since everyone was so supportive, why didn't he show a little?
Gu YuMian fed the snow leopard salad, thought about it and said, "Thank you for your appreciation. I'll draw ten viewers in a moment, and each of them will be sent a salad."
After hearing this, the little snow leopard suddenly became unhappy. Grey and blue eyes stared at Gu YuMian unpleasantly. It was made for him. What was with the lucky draw?
Gu YuMian, "?"
However, the audience and the little snow leopard's mood was exactly the opposite, the bullet curtain had exploded!
【South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date: Ah! I can finally eat the dishes made by the host!】
【There's a Cloud: Fool, wake up, ten out of 170,000 people?】
【Puff: What if? What if? I really want to get it! 555】
What Gu YuMian didn't know was that there was a rule in Star Live. According to the rules, people who gave more gifts to the audience in the live room were also more likely to win the lottery. As a result, the special effects of various gifts occupied the light screen for a while.
After all, everyone wanted to increase their chances of winning.
The little snow leopard was even more displeased. He looked at the special effects of the gifts and narrowed his eyes slightly. After a while, where Gu YuMian couldn't see, a light screen unfolded, and the little snow leopard reached out and pressed something on the light screen.
The next moment.
—An extremely gorgeous special effect occupied the whole interface, first there was a Firework that exploded, and then a Meteor Shower fell!
【User 'Shuo' presents 100 Fireworks to the anchor Gu YuMian, triggering a half-hour platform lottery. Everyone is welcome!】
Gu YuMian, "?"
One firework was worth ten thousand stars, one hundred was a million stars.
Almost all online viewers and anyone on was shocked.
Takk was just an edge satellite and this was the first time since Takk's live broadcasting platform started that this happened.
Cigarette waited for a long time. He was waiting for Gu YuMian to be removed from the recommended position, he waited for the news, and his face turned green with anger with every passing moment.
Although, his idea was very simple.
The little snow leopard glanced at Gu YuMian. In this way, he was the most likely to win the prize. Maybe even ten of them were, so—
Gu YuMian stared at the screen, but before he knew it, the screen was still occupied by the special effects of the gift, and the bullet curtain could not be seen.
"It's too expensive," Gu YuMian was worried about whether the audience was shaking their hands and pressing the wrong button. "Is this a bug in the system? A hundred fireworks?"
【Liang Feng: To be honest, I am as shocked as the host.】
【Marshmallow: This is a real big guy!】
【YuYu's Stomach Rumbles: The host should move quickly! I can't wait! I want a salad, ah!】
Gu YuMian waited for a long time but didn't see the audience member who smashed one million-star coins come out to say anything. Unable to help the audience's various urges, Gu YuMian released a light breath and clicked the button to draw ten audience members.
The results showed up quickly.
Gu YuMian looked at the light screen and said, "Congratulations There's a Cloud, South China Tiger Will Never Blind Date and the others who have won a salad."
The special effects of the present finally passed, and ten lucky people were soon envied and hated by everyone. And every time Gu YuMian read a name, the face color of the little snow leopard got darker.
Why didn't I get it?!
Capital Star.
Lu Xue walked into the studio contentedly holding the tightly wrapped express box.
The little anchor was so considerate. After asking about her as a giraffe, he made a whole vegetable salad and sent it back. Now that the traffic was well developed. It took less than a day to send it from Takk to Capital Star.
"Hello, Miss Lu," the passing staff greeted her one after another. "Mr. Guo has already started to have lunch first, and will start shooting after eating."
Lu Xue nodded, "Okay."
She was a model and was lucky to shoot a public service short film with the most popular superstar in the whole star, Er ShiSi Guo. She was also very nervous and couldn't eat when she was nervous — until yesterday when she saw the live broadcast.
Just thinking about the taste yesterday, Lu Xue couldn't help drooling. She went backstage and several familiar models came around to talk to her. They were going to start shooting in a while and everyone was feeling the pressure.
Lu Xue wanted to save the salad from Gu YuMian for later, but she hadn't eaten for a long time, so she couldn't help unpacking it.
"Ah Xue, you can still eat?" The models were surprised. "What is this? Is this something new from Elbet?"
"This is from a human. Well, in a word, I won the lottery."
After the bumpy road, the salad was not as good as it was when plated, but because of careful packaging and various protective measures, the taste was not different. Lu Xue couldn't wait to take a bite and put it into her mouth. It was so delicious that her scalp was numb!
"Human?"
After hearing the word, everyone frowned a little uneasily.
Gu YuMian had just become popular recently. He was not widely known on Takk, let alone the distant Capital Star. Here, the stereotype of humans was still very deep.
"It's delicious. Would you like some?" Lu Xue said.
"Ah, I still can't eat, thank you."
"That, I can't either. Ah Xue, eat it yourself."
"Eat less. After work, we'll treat you to Elbet restaurant. It must be better than this. Cough."
Several models watched Lu Xue eat the plate of "grass" that looked a bit bad, and couldn't help but feel sad. See what it was like to starve the child? How dare Lu Xue eat this kind of food?
She said it was made by a human. Didn't humans stink? What's more, wouldn't humans secretly add something bad to the dish?
There was a growing concern.
Lu Xue didn't care about her companion's idea. It may be a vegetable dish and she usually ate other things herself, but what Gu YuMian made was so delicious! Gu YuMian had spent a lot of time on the collocation and cuisine of vegetable dishes.
The proportion of tomato and lettuce was just right. All the vegetables were clean and tasty, with the specially prepared sauce… What's more, she could feel a trace of energy flowing into herself after eating a few mouthfuls!
As a model, her ability in adulthood was 'posture.' Her spiritual power rating was not high, but now she can feel her spirit was abundant, and the power had the potential to upgrade.
"…!" Lu Xue murmured, "I don't believe it, it's really delicious, and I feel—"
She would like to recommend this salad to her friends and recommend the host with this treasure she found. However, her friends all declined, which made Lu Xue feel sorry. Just then, she was patted lightly on the shoulder.
"Is it made by a human?" The one who patted her smiled and asked, "If you don't mind, can I have a taste?"
Lu Xue's eyes widened slightly and stuttered, "Of— Of course!"
Black-and-white fur, round ears, chubby body, two big black eyes that were more and more lovely, just like a plush doll. 5
It was Er ShiSi Guo!
