At first, Shi Yan refused to be sent down to the small world. Because the small world was full of mortals, and mortals were destined to have many troubles, which Shi Yan found troublesome.

There was nothing he could do about the trouble. Yuebai had already made up his mind, and he was too lazy to resist. So he entered a small world and temporarily became a mortal.

This little world is very peaceful. The person he became is a shut-in who became depressed and listless after his parents died in a car accident. He lived off the small inheritance left by his parents and just waited to die.

As for the cause of death of this man named Shi Yan... he had almost run out of his inheritance and was depressed and withdrawn, so he simply committed suicide.

Shi Yan lay lazily on the comfortable double Simmons mattress. The ordinary-looking otaku began to change his appearance the moment he became this person, and it only stopped when he became Shi Yan's appearance.

With her messy, frizzy, half-length hair, Shi Yan clutched her stomach, which was growling with hunger. After hesitating for a long time between lying there and starving to death and searching for something to fill her empty stomach, she finally got up reluctantly, slowly found her keys and wallet, and wandered out the door like a lost soul.

He was wearing summer clothes, and a blast of freezing cold air hit him the moment he opened the door. Shi Yan leaned against the door and thought about the trouble of going back to change his clothes, so he decided to just walk out of the room in his flip-flops, shorts, and short-sleeved t-shirt.

It's snowing outside, everything is covered in silver, beautiful and cold.

Shi Yan's exposed arms and legs were pale from the cold snow. From a distance, the boy walking lazily in the snow, even though he was wearing an ordinary t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops and his hair was messy, still... no buts, no matter how pretty his face was, he couldn't pull off this look.

Shi Yan walked slowly for a while until he reached the small shop. He bought a bunch of junk snacks and frozen food, paid for them, and casually opened a bag of potato chips, took out a chip, and put it in his mouth.

The boy, who was about to push open the door and leave, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

At that moment, the boy, who was so lazy that you wanted to beat him up to wake him up, suddenly exuded a frightening aura.

It's as if my life has been illuminated!

It was as if the will to fight had finally been ignited!

It's as if the whole person has come alive!

Shi Yan slowly chewed the potato chips in his mouth. The crisp texture and crunching sound were transmitted to his ears through his nerves, and the slightly spicy taste spread to every taste bud on his tongue.

Shi Yan has transcended!

He never knew that food could be so delicious!

Shi Yan, who has never needed to eat and has never eaten before, found his purpose in life at this moment!

The shop owner was startled as the boy, who suddenly seemed to have been injected with adrenaline and was now boiling over, turned around, swept his messy, shoulder-length hair that was covering his face back, revealing a delicate, enchanting, androgynous face that resembled a fairy. Flames flickered and burned in his black eyes as he strode confidently to the shelf.

Then... all the food was completely devoured.

They didn't even leave a single pack of instant noodles.

Having spent all his money, including his savings, Shi Yan felt refreshed and energetic. He became much more diligent, so much so that his relatives didn't recognize him. He made about ten trips back and forth, bringing a pile of food home, which he stacked into a small mountain in the living room.

He sat right there in the mountains and started eating like crazy, his eyes sparkling, his mouth moving rapidly, his cheeks bulging. Remarkably, he didn't leave a single food scrap, and he even sucked all the seasoning off his fingers.

Its momentum was overwhelming and unstoppable, as fierce as if it hadn't eaten for eight hundred years.

...

No, Shi Yan has indeed never eaten, not just for eight hundred years.

There was a pile of snacks. When Shi Yan couldn't eat anymore, he would lie on the floor with his belly protruding to digest and rest. When he could eat a little more, he would immediately sit up and continue. He finished everything within ten days.

He doesn't mind frozen food at all. Even things like noodles, he eats them happily after boiling them in water with a little salt.

It's remarkable that although he seems to be a mortal now, he is still a dragon at heart, and he doesn't gain any weight even though he eats so much.

After finishing what he had bought, Shi Yan wiped his mouth, grabbed his wallet, and was about to go out to buy some more when he discovered a tragic fact.

He spent all his savings on his last shopping trip.

If we don't make money, not only will we not be able to eat, but the water, electricity, and gas for this house will also be cut off.

...

This is terrible! This is terrible!

How could Shi Yan tolerate this! Depriving him of water, electricity, and gas is one thing, but not being able to buy food?! To let him experience the pleasures of dragon life and then take them away again is inhuman!

A single penny can drive even a hero to his death!

No! He needs to earn money! So he can eat better!

But I'm so lazy... I work myself to the bone all day and only earn a little money in a month. It's not enough to solve my immediate problem.

Oh, the nightmares, the worries, I'm pulling out handfuls of hair!

Frustrated, he went online and messaged one of Shi Yan's friends, asking him how to make money from home.

My friend said: "Just become an internet celebrity, post ads on Weibo, and if you can sing or have other talents, you can open a live stream and get lots of tips."

Shi Yan thought it was a good idea.

After learning about the path to becoming an internet celebrity, Shi Yan did not intend to make a living by posting advertisements. In fact, his family all have excellent voices, and their singing has a unique magic that makes people unable to resist.

He borrowed 500 yuan from a friend and reluctantly decided to rely on it to get through the days until he could earn money. He figured three meals a day would be enough... So he opened a Weibo account and a live streaming room and started his journey to becoming an internet celebrity.

Shi Yan pointed his camera at the keyboard, then pulled out Shi Yan's old guitar to try it out, quickly mastering the playing techniques.
