Gu Yumian worked in a public institution, living a stable life. Until one day, he transmigrated to the interstellar era. This interstellar era was different from what he imagined.
Weibo hot s...
After the live broadcast ended, Gu Yumian still felt a bit like he was dreaming.
——He had indeed not expected the popularity to be so high.
"We're really rich now," Gu Yumian said as he carried the little snow leopard to the balcony to bask in the moonlight. He began to fantasize, "Tuantuan, when the time comes, I'll move to a bigger house, give you a special entertainment room, and hire two chefs. We'll want the best in everything we do."
Gu Yumian really wanted to move house. The little snow leopard was full of energy and needed plenty of space to move around. But he was worried about the lack of recreational facilities and areas outside, not even a park.
As a breeder, Gu Yumian doesn't really have any lofty ambitions. As long as the cubs he raises grow up healthy and happy, that is his greatest satisfaction.
The little snow leopard looked at him lazily with its gray-blue eyes, and its long tail swept across Gu Yumian's neck and stopped at the human's earlobe, with a very subtle sense of intimacy.
Gu Yumian was a man of action. When he heard about changing houses, he immediately checked Star Network for prices of houses over 500 square meters. After a livestream, he had over 10,000 Star Coins on his Star Card, which he considered a huge sum.
Five minutes later.
Gu Yumian said woodenly, "Why am I so poor?"
Little Snow Leopard: “…”
It glanced at it and felt puzzled. Isn't it just a mortgage of 100,000 star coins a month? It's not a lot of money.
In the interstellar age, land utilization is extremely high. Even on the remote planet of Tak, it's no exaggeration to say that every inch of land is worth a fortune. But in the eyes of a monarch who owns an entire interstellar system, this is indeed not a lot of money.
Gu Yumian sat on the windowsill, pinching the little snow leopard's paw pad, and said a little depressedly:
"I'm so useless. My cub is so cute, but I can't even live with him in a big house."
The little snow leopard put its claws on Gu Yumian's face, and suddenly became worried that this human was crying, so it looked into his eyes.
Gu Yumian's eyes were beautiful, a clear light brown that looked like flowing honey in the moonlight. He looked at the little snow leopard from a very close distance, his eyebrows slightly raised, and after a moment he lowered his head to kiss its forehead.
The young man's lips were clean and soft, with a faint scent of bamboo leaves, gently landing in the night.
The tip of the little snow leopard's tail stiffened.
It took two steps back in panic, subconsciously raised its right paw to touch its forehead, and then quickly put it down.
Gu Yumian: “?”
The little snow leopard sat solemnly, then stood up and walked around twice, suddenly jumped onto a higher flower pot rack and glanced at Gu Yumian.
It seemed that only by looking down at this human from above could it bring a little peace to it and cool down the burning heat in the tips of its ears.
Gu Yumian: “???”
Cubs all need caressing, kissing or stroking, which can give them a sense of security. This is a habitual action for them, and when they are without their parents, it is necessary for the breeder to play this role.
"Okay, if you don't like it, I won't kiss you next time," Gu Yumian scratched its chin and begged for mercy, "It's ten o'clock, let's go to bed."
It seems that this incident had a great impact on it. The little snow leopard didn't want to let Gu Yumian carry it away. It lay down on the newly bought small bed by itself without looking at Gu Yumian.
Gu Yumian left a light on in the living room, stood at the door, sighed, and went back to his room to sleep.
That night.
After Gu Yumian's breathing gradually became even, the half-closed door of the bedroom was gently pushed open, and a small black shadow jumped onto the bed with ease, looking down at the sleeping human.
Gu Yumian was obviously immersed in a sweet dream. Even when she was asleep, there was a shallow dimple on her lips.
"Eight hundred square meters... isn't big enough," he muttered. "I need one thousand square meters. No, it has to be in the school district with a sea view. My child needs to go to the best school."
Little Snow Leopard: “…” School district sea view apartment?
As usual, it wanted to find a comfortable position in the young man's arms, but its gaze stopped on his lips and it suddenly hesitated.
The white gauze curtains were gently rolled up by the wind, and the air in the room was still for a moment.
The next second, the little snow leopard disappeared.
In his place was a man in a double-breasted military uniform and combat boots. His tall, slender figure was perfectly accentuated by the lines of the uniform. His eyelids were drooping, his gray-blue pupils bathed in moonlight, and his thin lips were slightly pursed.
He leaned over and stretched out his hand, sliding his index finger from the corner of the young man's eye to the corner of his lips, and suddenly pressed the pale lips with a little force——
It was at this time.
The child's light brain, which had taken the shape of a watch, began to flash rapidly.
The man frowned, his expression immediately tinged with displeasure and impatience at being interrupted. He paused for two seconds before finally picking up the ridiculous laptop and leaving the room.
Downstairs in the residential building, a custom-designed hovercraft was already waiting. Its streamlined, gold-titanium design stood out from the aging surroundings. Grand Duke Finnick, already waiting nearby, leaned forward and presented the custom-designed computer, identical in appearance to a child's.
The monarch strode onto the hovercraft, followed by Grand Duke Finnick, who said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, regarding Duke Rick, we have been working hard these past two days—"
The monarch interrupted him impatiently:
"I don't want to hear excuses."
Finnick lowered his head, a trace of sweat trickling down his forehead. They'd been so busy searching for His Majesty these past two days that they'd indeed slacked off, giving the other side a chance to linger.
Thankfully, the monarch did not pursue the matter further.
"What is a school district sea view apartment?" Finnick suddenly heard His Majesty's voice.
Finnick: "Huh?"
“…”
The monarch also seemed to think the question was stupid, and with a gloomy expression, he did not repeat it.
Ten seconds later, Finnick heard the monarch's low voice again, indifferent but with a hint of secret concern:
"material."
"Oh, information," Finnick remembered. He operated on his computer twice, and a light screen immediately unfolded in mid-air. "All the information you asked to find is here. This is the third son of the Gu family..."
The screen displayed all of Gu Yumian's information, from birth to school, adulthood, and then to his solo journey to Tak at the age of nineteen.
The monarch's brows furrowed slightly.
The next morning, when Gu Yumian woke up, the little snow leopard was sleeping soundly on his chest.
Gu Yumian: "..."
It turns out that this little ancestor sneaks over here every night, and I finally know the reason why my chest feels stuffy when I sleep.
The little snow leopard always wakes up earlier than Gu Yumian and has a very stable schedule. I don’t know what he did last night, but he hasn’t woken up yet.
Gu Yumian pinched its paw pad and suddenly discovered that there was a stack of cards under the little snow leopard's right paw.
Gu Yumian: “?”
He picked it up and took a look.
——Access cards for Floating Light Island Villas 1, 2, and 3, and the penthouse duplex access card for Haiyi Yueju…
A thick stack of various permission cards lay in the air, all of them high-end housing permission cards for Tuck and Capital. In the interstellar era, permission cards were like a combination of a key and a property deed.
The most terrifying thing was that Gu Yumian remembered what he had seen when he was looking up information yesterday. The 'Floating Light Island' was a newly built villa in the upper city area of the capital planet. It was the most high-end and luxurious residence in the entire galaxy except for the imperial palace. There were only three villas built in total, and each villa was valued at more than 1 billion star coins. The permission cards for these three villas were now in front of him.
Of course, it could also be fake.
But Gu Yumian looked at the simulated image projected in the air by the permission card, which was extremely exquisite - it didn't look fake at all.
Gu Yumian: “…” It’s over. The cub has learned to steal things. Is it too late to bring it to surrender now?
An hour later.
After finally properly disposing of the pile of "stolen goods", Gu Yumian was still preaching to the little snow leopard tirelessly.
"Xuetuan, we will have enough money to buy a bigger house, but a gentleman should earn money in a proper way—"
The little snow leopard listened impatiently, and finally fell asleep in Gu Yumian's arms.
Gu Yumian: "..."
Gu Yumian softened his heart again.
He did seem like a parent who doted on his child without any principles. Gu Yumian conducted a deep self-reflection, and then happily went to cook for the little snow leopard.
Gu Yumian was thinking about taking the little snow leopard outdoors one day. He couldn't keep the child in confinement all the time, but he had to prepare well in advance to prevent danger.
The little snow leopard slept until noon and woke up. Gu Yumian had already prepared lunch.
After lunch, Gu Yumian received a message from the landlord:
"Mr. Gu, my daughter is getting married soon, so I can no longer rent the house to you. Please move out within two days."
Gu Yumian: “???”
He has just settled down here, and he is moving away now?
The little snow leopard casually glanced at the landlord's message, not surprised at all. Gu Yumian was immersed in his own thoughts and did not notice its gaze.
Gu Yumian thought that his house was indeed too small, not even enough space for the little snow leopard to move around. But where could he find a house in such a short time?
He logged onto StarNet to look at houses, and coincidentally, as soon as he logged in, a new house for rent notice popped up.
[Take Star Hai Yi Yue Ju, a duplex on the top floor, with an ocean view and a small garden. The owner is going to study abroad on the Capital Star. Urgently renting. Rent: 500 Star Coins per month.]
Gu Yumian: “???”
Five hundred star coins a month, what’s the difference between that and giving it away for free? Are you kidding me?
It was really too cheap. Although Gu Yumian knew that cheap things were not good, he couldn't help but look at it again and again.
Haiyi Yueju is a high-end residence on Tak Star. The top-floor duplex is a new building with a great environment... There is also a small garden, which gives the little snow leopard enough space to move around. Just for this reason, Gu Yumian was very tempted.
It had already accommodated his every whim, so what else could this human be dissatisfied with? The little snow leopard, annoyed by his hesitancy, glanced up at the details interface, and slammed its paw on the "I Want to Rent" button.
Gu Yumian: "Snowball!"
However, before he could press the cancel button, the homeowner called him anxiously:
"Mr. Gu, right? Are you interested in renting? I'm flying to the capital planet today. If you're willing, you can move in today."
Gu Yumian: "Uh..."
The little snow leopard yawned nonchalantly.
"Are you dissatisfied with the price?" The owner heard the little snow leopard's noise and his voice trembled slightly. "I can lower the price. How about four hundred—no, one hundred star coins?"
Gu Yumian: “…………”
Five hours later.
Gu Yumian ultimately paid the homeowner 10,000 star coins, his entire fortune. Even so, he still felt a pang of guilt for taking advantage of someone. He initially feared he was a scammer, but after a careful inspection, he found no flaws.
Because the original landlord urged him to move out and he didn't have much luggage, Gu Yumian moved with his little snow leopard that afternoon.
High-end housing is indeed different.
The neighborhood is wonderful, a tranquil retreat amidst the hustle and bustle, with rockery and wooden corridors, and the architectural style somewhat reminiscent of a traditional Japanese garden. The property management staff are incredibly professional, showing no discriminatory or perfunctory attitude towards Gu Yumian simply because he's human; they're actually quite helpful.
As for the environment inside the house, it is even more impeccable.
It is a two-story duplex with a living room on the first floor and a study and bedroom on the second floor. There is also a small garden and swimming pool on the top floor. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is the endless blue sea and sky, and the wooden floor is warm even when you walk barefoot on it.
The house has its own smart housekeeping system, which automatically identifies their race as soon as they enter the door, adjusts the air conditioner to the optimal temperature, and opens the curtains.
"Xuetuan, my life is worth it to be able to live in a house like this," Gu Yumian contentedly lay on the sofa with the little snow leopard in his arms, basking in the sun. "Why is it that after meeting you, my luck has been getting better and better?"
First he picked up such a little treasure, and then he picked up a big bargain. Having a child and a house is indeed the life that Gu Yumian has always dreamed of.
He couldn't help but rub his head against the little snow leopard's furry neck, took a deep breath, and felt extremely happy.
The little snow leopard pushed his head in disgust.
In its eyes, this kind of house is just barely habitable. Gu Yumian is so happy now, won’t he be crazy with joy when he goes to the palace in the future?
Of course, Gu Yumian didn't know that a certain emperor had already planned his future in the palace. Thanks to the smart home system, he didn't have to do any housework; even his luggage was automatically collected and placed by the robots. Gu Yumian only had to personally redecorate the little snow leopard's room and nest.
After the arrangement was completed, it was already time for dinner.
Gu Yumian then remembered: I was busy moving this afternoon and forgot to prepare the ingredients for dinner. What should I do? Besides, I haven't started the live broadcast today.
Gu Yumian pondered for a moment and quickly came up with an idea.
"Moving is a happy thing. I can indulge myself tonight and make a delicious meal for my little ancestor."
An hour later.
After all the ingredients were prepared, Gu Yumian went onto the Starry Sky live broadcast platform.
As soon as he logged in, Gu Yumian was flooded with 99+ messages and comments. Some of them were confessions from new fans and urging them to start live streaming. Of course, there were also various insults from animals who discriminated against humans.
There were two messages from the official Starry Sky Platform.
The first one reads: [Mr. Gu, congratulations on being on the newcomer recommendation list. Current ranking: 13.]
This means that his popularity and number of fans have reached the target, ranking 13th among the new anchors on Takstar.
The second one is: [The system has arranged a recommended position for you. Please be sure to start broadcasting at the designated time. The recommended position is: Heavy Recommendation, recommended time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.]
The location of the highly recommended site is not bad, but the time period from 6 to 8 o'clock is really awkward. It is exactly dinner time. If it is a food live broadcast, it is fine, but the traffic of other live broadcasts in the living area is very poor.
After all, who wants to learn how to comb their fur, bathe their dog, and trim their nails while they're eating?
Gu Yumian's famous live broadcast was the one where he was grooming his hair yesterday, and because of this, everyone defined him as a streamer of this type. A little thought would reveal that he had been tricked this time.
But Gu Yumian had no idea about these twists and turns. He made some rough preparations and started the live broadcast.
"Hello everyone," he said, holding the little snow leopard's paw and greeting the camera. "I'm Gu Yumian, and this is Xuetuan. Tonight's live broadcast will focus on food and after-dinner entertainment. You can choose your preferred time slot to watch."
Two minutes into the show, the number of viewers quickly exceeded four digits and headed towards five digits.
A certain anchor who had been waiting to see Gu Yumian's joke: "..."
Wait, where's the promised combing and bathing?
And what's with this number of people?
Of course he doesn't know.
At this moment, it has been exactly half a day since 'Youyunduo' released that video.
Over the past half day, the video has quietly gone viral on Capital Star's social media. Quite a few viewers on Capital Star have found software to bypass the firewall, accessed the Tak Star server, and quietly started following this human streamer...
The ultimate result was that within five minutes of Gu Yumian's broadcast, the number of viewers exceeded 10,000.
