"Kid, don't leave in a hurry. Do you want to try this again?"
"This is a new flavor in our family. The sales volume is very good at present. I personally think it is quite delicious. You can try it."
"How's it going? Is it delicious?"
He Xile's chicken pecked at the rice and nodded: "It's delicious!"
"Hahaha, as long as you think it tastes good. Okay, hurry up and get in line."
He Xile said goodbye to the stall owner.
Woohoo, StarNet is such a great invention!
You can eat so much delicious food without leaving home!
And the people on Hexinna are really nice.
He Xile walked all the way and was praised many times by people here!
After stuffing the last mouthful of food into his mouth, He Xile let out a long sigh of relief.He spread his fingers and patted his belly gently. He looked down and looked at it carefully. It was very good. It was not bulging. It was completely impossible to tell that he had just eaten five snacks of different flavors, two grilled sausages, and three servings of oil.Fried food, a soy product, and two drinks...
If you feel it carefully, there seems to be a gap!
He Xile walked to a stall without hesitation.
In front of you, macaron-colored ice cream is lined up, and every one of them looks delicious.
He Xile once again fell into difficulty in choosing.
"Which one is better to choose..."
hateful.
It's all because his stomach is too small!
"Eat the rainbow-colored ones. All flavors are included."
A line of words suddenly floated past my eyes.
He Xile scanned the ice cream sample in front of him: "But there doesn't seem to be any rainbow colors..."
After speaking for a moment, He Xile subconsciously looked up and saw the clear blue sky in the virtual world of Star Network. Looking closer, he discovered that the number of viewers in the upper right corner of the live broadcast room had changed from the monotonous number "1" in the past.It became a full "132".
Huh.
Did anyone actually watch his live broadcast?And there are still so many?
He Xile was shocked.

"There are rainbow colors."
The stall owner spoke up at the right time, attracting He Xile's attention. He smiled and said, "Although it's not displayed, as long as you ask, I can make it for you, but the price is a little more expensive than ordinary ones."
He Xile nodded immediately: "Thank you, I want a rainbow color."
After paying the bill and taking the beautiful colorful ice cream, He Xile suddenly stood upright. He wiped away his previous lazy look, faced the camera seriously, and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is He Xile.."
"Haha, did the host just react now? He looks so good, but he looks like a minor? Does this live broadcast room belong to you? Or did you steal your parents' accounts to log in to the live broadcast?"
He Xile whispered back: "I am an adult, but I am shorter. This is my own live broadcast room."
"You're still such a small one even when you're an adult? What kind of race is it?"
"The voice is nice too, so let's pay attention first."
"I have been watching you eat before, and I watched you for more than half an hour without realizing it. It made me a little hungry now, so I couldn't help but dig out a pack of biscuits to eat. The biscuits tasted so-so, which made me even hungrier now...."
"The anchor is really good at eating, and he never stops eating."
He Xile's face turned red when he saw this comment.
What?
Did he actually eat non-stop for more than half an hour?
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The food on the interstellar world is very different from the food on the earth, both in terms of raw materials and preparation methods.
There are some foods that He Xile really can't get used to, and they taste weird, but most of the foods are very delicious. Moreover, although these foods are cooked just like in reality, they are just data.You won't gain weight either.
Who can bear this!?
He explained in a low voice: "The snacks on this street are all in line with my taste. I can't help but eat more."
But He Xile was still a little embarrassed by that person.
He thought to himself that after eating this ice cream, he really couldn't eat any more.
The rainbow ice cream was always in his hand, and it was cool. He Xile took a bite. The taste was sour and sweet, and the texture was silky and dense. It melted in the mouth without feeling greasy at all.
He Xile couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "This is also delicious."
"Watching the anchor eat is really a pleasure. It feels like eating delicious food, and all the cells in the anchor's body become excited."
"Damn it, I can't wait to log into the Star Network on the spot to try out how delicious the snacks the host mentioned are."
"...Whew, I always feel that after following the anchor, there will be a lot of extra expenses."
"Why do anchors wear masks when doing mukbang broadcasts? You can only hear the sound of eating, but you can't see whether you are actually eating. Now I wonder if you are pretending to eat and came here specifically to advertise."
He Xile swallowed the ice cream in his mouth and explained: "I don't specialize in mukbang, I just happened to be eating at this time."
"You are overthinking the previous one, look at the house number above your head, it says, broadcast as you like, and there is no gourmet food in the category."
"I'm laughing to death. How can anyone think that this anchor is a food broadcaster? Every time he eats delicious food, except for eating a lot, he only says "yummy" and "yummy".""It's so delicious." As you said, the host is wearing a mask, so who can see his expression when eating? This is not what a mukbang should look like. "
"But you're all here, why don't you try our famous Kennett meat here? It's very chewy! The more you eat it, the better it tastes! I guarantee you'll want to eat it again after you finish it!"
He Xile: "..."
Thanks for the invitation.
I can't bite it.
"So, it seems like the kid didn't eat much meat during the whole journey?"
"It's not nothing, it's just that he hasn't eaten at all. He said before that he was an adult, but I haven't seen the second characteristic on him so far. It may be on his face. I guess he is herbivorous, so he doesn't eat meat?"
"Yes, that's what I think too. I wear a mask because it's on my face... To be honest, if it were me, I'd wear a mask too."
The number of barrages gradually increased.
He Xile couldn't explain his identity yet, so he had to pretend not to see the discussion about his second characteristic on the barrage.
It was still noisy around me.
There was a young man and woman who were very excited.
"We're finally here, woohoo!"
"Fortunately, we were well-informed and came just as the queue started. Otherwise, you would have seen the darkness behind here - we don't know how many are limited this time and how many are in line in front."
"That's right. Oh, please don't wait until our time..."
"Shut up, shut up!"
"Huh? Are you here, the anchor, lining up to buy a limited edition doll? I'm queuing up too, and it's almost my turn, hehehe."
He Xile looked confused: "What limited edition doll?"
"Huh? Don't the relationship anchors know?"
Just as he was saying this, shouts from the front came: "The only genuine human authorization, for only 16 star coins, you can purchase human photos and videos, and give away a limited number of human image dolls! Now there are only 100 dolls left.!”
"Ahhh, there are only a hundred left! Chongya——"
The crowd suddenly jolted forward.
He Xile was still immersed in the shock and shame of being a "little doll in human form". Before he could react, he immediately jumped forward and landed on the lap of a tall and powerful man.
The man was obviously a regular member of the gym, he was burly and as strong as an ox.
He didn't even shake his knees, and said "tsk" impatiently: "I'm warning you, if someone from the Security Management Office catches this kind of harassment, you will be jailed for more than a year -"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and turned around, as if he wanted to catch the person who dared to take advantage of the crowd around him in an attempt to molest him. However, when he stretched out his hand, he missed it. When he lowered his head again, he saw a man who had just reached him.The child on the thigh was holding the back of his head, raised his head, and looked at him with tears in his eyes.

The two looked at each other.
At the same time, the person behind him was still pushing forward, and the child immediately followed the force and bumped into his leg again - obviously, the child, whose face was already red, did not do this on purpose, but was pushedThe crowd pressed on and they were forced to move forward.
Men understand.
He grinned: "Let me tell you, how could anyone dare to extend their claws to someone like me."
After that, the man stretched out his hand, picked up He Xile and put it on his shoulder, "Are you here to buy a baby too? I finally understand, this human being is popular at any age."
He was so big that he carried He Xile directly on his shoulders, and it didn't look out of place at all.
He Xile was shocked.
How could you sit on a stranger's shoulder!?
He was anxious and wanted to get off the man.
However, as soon as He Xile moved, the man reached out to help him, and with a little force, he firmly fixed the former on his shoulders: "Be careful, there are many people below, if you really want to fall, there may be some short-sighted people."Step on you.”
He Xi had a great meal.
There were people around. As soon as He Xile was picked up, someone immediately hit him on top of where he was originally standing. It would be a bit unrealistic to get off the man now.
He thought for a while, and after weighing the pros and cons, he stopped adding to the chaos and sat down calmly.
Seeing the cameras floating around, He Xile said hurriedly: "By the way, I'm live broadcasting now."
"I know." The man said directly.
He Xile thought for a while, the man should be able to see the camera next to him.
Now that the eldest brother knew, He Xile stopped talking and looked around curiously.
Since coming to Hexinna, He Xile's field of vision was so broad for the first time - from the countless legs he glanced at before, to the countless heads he glanced at.But at this time, He Xile discovered that he had been walking forward with the team and had already reached a very front position in the queue.
As for the back, it was so dark that it was worthy of being a tourist attraction during the May Day holiday.
"Wow"
He Xile couldn't help but let out a small exclamation.
"Why, have you never seen so many people before?" The man's voice was loud.
He Xile nodded: "I just got the terminal not long ago."
"No wonder."
The man laughed heartily and introduced, "In the past celebrations, there were more people on the Star Network than now. The terminal had to open many branch lines to barely supply. This time is a special situation. There is only one line, so it is so crowded. AndWho made the human who just woke up from the museum so popular? No, everyone who is even remotely interested in humans is here."
So that's it.
He Xile nodded.
He came here with the idea of watching the fun, but now that he knows that he is selling his own peripherals, he wants to back down. But in this situation, the man has been carrying He Xile forward, so it is inconvenient for him to leave.
"By the way, this is your first time to do a live broadcast, right? You don't have to worry about copyright issues in the future. People on the Star Network will know that you are live broadcasting when they see your status bar. Those who don't want to be broadcast live can already do it themselves on the Star NetworkCheck the options that will not be entered. If nothing else, our Star Network is very smart."
This is so!
So convenient and fast!
He Xile suddenly realized it and said, "Thank you, I just knew it."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
As he said that, the man pursed his lips and said, "Look, we'll be waiting in line soon."
He Xile looked to the front.
Isn't the person who set up the stall not far away the same Margery?
Margery's face was red and she looked very excited, and the "Didi" terminal could not help but make a transfer sound.
He Xile was now in a relatively high position and could clearly see the appearance of the human doll next to Margery.
The little doll is very cute. It is similar to what He Xile had imagined before, or even better. It is a Q-version image, with a third-size body and a big head, soft black hair, big round eyes, and simple clothes.
It should feel soft to the touch.
This was the original agreement between He Xile and Margery.
——After Margery proposed to sell dolls, stickers and other items, although He Xile denied it on the spot, he later felt that it was a bit weird to only sell videos and photos if it was officially authorized.
At that time, He Xile thought about it and suggested making the little doll into a Q version.When this type of doll is made, the recognition will be relatively low, which is more acceptable to He Xile.
Margery certainly wouldn't disagree.
The two settled on the spot.
But they never expected that just two days after they signed the contract, Margery would start selling.
Interstellar's work efficiency is so high.
"There are ten left—"
"Five!"
"Okay, this batch of doll giving activities ends here."
After Margery wrote down the address of the last buyer, he stood up, clasped his hands together, and said apologetically, "Everyone in line behind me, I'm sorry, the gift doll is gone. Please spread the news."Go to the back and tell them to stop lining up. Thanks!”
"Ah? How could this happen..."
"Isn't it? I've been waiting in line for a long time, is it really gone?"
"Oh, it's just that we weren't well-informed. There were already so many people lined up in front of us when we arrived." The people behind were dejected. Although they were a little sad, they gradually dispersed.
The man holding He Xile on his shoulders was just two places away from being ranked.
He let out a long sigh: "Oops, I thought the seats were about the same, but I didn't make it. I'm going to be beaten by my wife again when I get home."
He Xile: "?"
He Xile looked at the man's size and hesitated to speak.
"It's too real to be beaten by my wife..."

"Okay, since everything has been sold out, I have to go offline first, kids. See you again later." The man raised his hand and put He Xile down.
He Xile raised his head and asked, "Can you add your contact information?"
"Of course." The man said while exchanging contact information with He Xile, "I'm quite familiar with Xingwang. If you don't understand anything in the future, and your parents are not here, you can ask me."
He Xile: "Yeah."
He looked at the man seriously and said, "Thank you."
After the tall man in front of him went offline and disappeared, He Xile turned around and saw that Margery had closed the stall and was standing not far away looking at him.
He Xi was happy and did not move.
He waved to everyone in the live broadcast room: "Everyone, I'm going offline too. Goodbye."
"See you next time."
Before closing the live broadcast room, He Xile added: "Goodbye little robot."
The live broadcast room is closed.
"Your Excellency." Margery saw He Xile's condition changed and walked over quickly.
It was inconvenient for the two of them to stay where they were, lest anyone guess He Xile's identity.He suggested, "I know there is a bakery on Xingwang. The snacks they make taste pretty good. My daughter especially likes them. Come over and sit down?"
He Xile: "Okay."
This store on Xingwang is not big. As soon as you enter the door, you will be hit by a sweet smell.The display cabinets are all filled with beautifully made snacks that will make you want to eat.
How awesome.
Why are there so many treasure shops in Hexinna!?
...It's a pity that I ate too much today.
He Xile silently wrote down the coordinates here.
When he has time later, he wants to eat them all at home!!
"Your Excellency, the first batch of goods I ordered here is one thousand copies, and it is currently sold out. Because the price is relatively low, after factoring in the cost, the profit is actually not too much."
Margery began to settle accounts.
As he was calculating, he suddenly thought of the scene when he set up the stall today.
Before Margery, no one could obtain the genuine authorization from humans.
He is the only one in the entire empire.
So when Margery started selling it openly and explained that after purchasing photos and videos, the gift would be a small human doll, many people were moved, but they were hesitant.
——The price of these things is probably a few hundred at least, right?
Nowadays, the asking prices for even some not-so-popular celebrities’ peripherals are already very expensive, let alone those for recently popular humans.
But after careful questioning, everyone realized that all the items added up only cost sixteen star coins!
For a moment, everyone's faces showed uncontrollable smiles and joy.
"Oh my god, is it really that cheap?"
"Ah, ah, that's great. I've always liked humans. They look small and very cute. Every time I have free time, I go to the museum to see them. But when I wake up, I can't see humans anymore... WuwuwuNo, I want to buy ten! No, twenty! Put them all on my bedside...wait, or forget it, just one, I can't monopolize the happiness of those nineteen people."
"Yes, if they can buy a little doll for only sixteen star coins, they will be happy for at least a week, right?"
"Be bold, if it were me, I would be happy for a month."
"Ha ha ha ha."
That kind of emotion is very contagious.
Margery couldn't help but look at the human opposite.
Probably influenced by the businessman's thinking, Margery initially felt that the gift this time was a doll in the image of a human being, and of course the price was much higher than before, which was natural.
But during the discussion, He Xile disagreed and chose the path of small profits but quick turnover.
He initially disagreed, but now it seems that He Xile's choice was also very good.
"Sir, the factory I contacted here can lower the unit price to about 8, and now it is tentatively decided to be this one. Of course, you can rest assured that the quality can be guaranteed. The factory information has been sent to you at the terminal. Please come back.You can take a look.”
He remembered every account clearly and gave it to He Xile to review.
He Xile looked at the account book: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It should."
Margery said, “Actually, I’ll only be busy for a while.”
soon.
It can be seen from today's sales that as long as the factory can keep up, he will soon be able to save money for his daughter's medical treatment, and every money he has now is clean.
——It was He Xile who stretched out his hand and pulled him out of the quagmire.
Margery's eyes were a little moist.
His lips trembled, and when he was about to say something grateful, He Xile across from him suddenly remembered something: "That's right!"
Margery: "Huh?"
"Now I want to use my power for personal gain."
He Xile coughed lightly, "Do you have an extra doll in your hand? Can you give me one more?"
"sure."
"Great." He Xile cheered.
Margery smiled helplessly.
It's really easy for humans to be happy.
&
The sun sets.
Just like what the guards said before, martial law suddenly began in the palace. Everyone was in a hurry and running around telling each other. Even the guards in the palace were prohibited from walking around at will.
Soon, the entire palace became quiet.
He Xile sat at the window holding a book. He had already read a quarter of the book, but still did not see the patrolling guard walking through the long corridor not far away.Usually they pass by about once every half hour.
He didn't even need to go out to the restaurant, the waiter had already delivered dinner to his room.
"Your Excellency, just call me after you finish eating." the guard said softly.
He Xile nodded: "Okay."
He smelled an unusual scent from it.
——Even if a banquet is held, even the patrolling guards will not disappear.

After dinner, when the guards came in to pack things, He Xile said worriedly: "I accidentally heard someone mention in the evening that they are no longer allowed to walk outside. Are you still standing guard outside the door?"
The guard whispered: "Your Excellency, this is exactly what I am going to tell you. In the next three days, I will only appear during your meal time. Please do not leave the room. It is very dangerous outside. If you need anything, you can contact me directly on the terminal, and I will prepare it for you during the next meal time."
When He Xile heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly and he nodded.
The guard packed his things quickly, as if he was in a hurry.
Before leaving, he emphasized again: "Please do not leave the room."
He Xile: "...Okay."
The door to the room was gently closed.
He Xile was a little depressed.
He originally thought it would be easy to just stay in the room for three days, but now that the guard said this, he suddenly felt nervous, as if he had entered some kind of horror script.
God.
If I leave the room, will I be swallowed by some monster?
Or maybe there would be something watching him outside the door when he was in the room?
Ahhhhh!!!
He Xile didn't dare to think too much.
After washing, he lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he got up and opened the terminal, searching for keywords such as "strange things in the palace" and "not allowed to move around the palace", but found nothing.
...How about asking the guards?
Just as He Xile was thinking about it, the whole room suddenly shook violently!
What?
earthquake??
He Xile was originally sitting on the bed, but was shaken so much that he almost fell over.
The next second, another low, mournful cry like that of an ancient giant beast was heard, overwhelming the sky.
He Xile: "!"
Oh my God!!!
He Xile instantly picked up the quilt, covered himself tightly, and quickly tucked the four corners of the quilt into a ball.
