Chapter 2 Directly Starts
The male insect with dull silver hair looked up from the sink, and a thin, sickly face was reflected in the dirty mirror.
This face has good facial features, with natural smiling lips and a pair of dark gray classic almond eyes. Even when not smiling, there is a hint of gentle smile at the corners of the eyes.
But the deep dark circles under the eyes ruined this good-looking appearance. The poor skin, dry and sunken cheeks, and overly long and sloppy bangs made him look like a spent drug addict.
Shi Cunjin used his hands to comb his messy bangs back, revealing his entire face and grey eyes. His eyes were clear and calm, and this quality was like the finishing touch, turning the depressed drug addict into a young man who had just recovered from a serious illness, a little handsome, and a little sick.
And Shi Cunjin had indeed just recovered from a serious illness.
Ten minutes ago, with the help of his twins, he found an injection to heal all his injuries.
The name of the interstellar medicine is well-deserved. One injection can heal all wounds in five minutes.
The rapid healing overdrawn his body. Shi Cunjin took two nutritional supplements that came with the treatment injections and finally came out of his dizzy state.
The healing brought about a burst of exhaustion and sweating. Shi Cunjin couldn't stand the stench of blood and sweat, so the first thing he did after surviving was to go to the toilet to clean himself.
He wiped his face and returned to the bedroom. The twins were squatting beside the bed, clinging to each other like two little kittens, and they didn't dare to get on the bed.
Seeing their uncle coming out, the two of them followed him closely with their eyes, but did not approach him directly like before.
The original body had a bad attitude towards the bug cubs before. The twins are still wearing the clothes they wore on the day they came back. The cuffs are black, which are the stains from wiping Shi Cunjin's sweat and blood.
The last parent of the twin worms is the original body. No matter how much the parent dislikes it, they can only follow it timidly. They hid before and dared not come out, and after coming out, they dared not hide again.
Shi Cunjin turned on the small bedroom light, which was dim but bright. He waved to the two insect cubs and said in a hoarse and gentle voice: "Luo Lai, Luo Li, come here."
The twins looked at each other, stood up awkwardly holding hands, and slowly approached each other.
Shi Cunjin touched the silver hair of the two brothers one by one and praised them, "You did a good job in helping your uncle before."
"I'll help you change your clothes, and then you can take two tubes of nutritional supplements and go to bed, okay?"
After the twins were subjected to cold violence by their parent for two days, Shi Cunjin's attitude became a little better. They blinked their big eyes and immediately nodded and obeyed. They stood close to each other, one in front and one behind, and helped each other take off their clothes.
Can take care of himself and is very obedient.
Shi Cunjin noticed that perhaps the twins did not have much freedom with the original owner's brother either, because they were too good at reading people's expressions.
Shi Cunjin thought of his original body's "good virtues" and smiled sarcastically in his heart. He didn't stop, but took out two pairs of dry clothes from the bedroom closet and gave them to the twins to change into.
The clothes were long-sleeved T-shirts that the original owner wore when he was about 10 years old. They were old but not dirty, and when the twins wore them, the hem of the shirt hung down to their knees.
After getting dressed, Shi Cunjin coaxed the two of them into bed, sat beside the bed, opened two bottles of nutritional supplements and fed them to them.
The nutritional supplements and treatment injections were sent back by the original owner's brother as monthly supplements, and there was still one box of nutritional supplements left.
There are 3 rows in a box, 10 sticks in a row.
Shi Cunjin coaxed the baby insects to eat while calculating, if used carefully, these nutrients can last for 3-4 days.
He thought about the blackmail warnings from the bullies, feeling heavy in his heart, but he didn't show it. After the twins finished eating, Shi Cunjin took away the air tube, covered them with blankets, patted their heads one by one, and reminded them, "Sleep well, your uncle is in the living room."
The twins nodded obediently. This time, their elder brother Luo Lai said softly, "...Good night...We will listen to you."
His younger brother Rowley followed suit a little later, saying, "…Rowley is also obedient."
The baby worm's voice was thin and tender, hiding its panic and timid dependence. In every desperate movement of obedience, there was a fear of being abandoned.
This touched Shi Cunjin's heart.
Shi Cunjin was born in an orphanage and started from a bad starting line. It is easy to imagine how hard it was for him to become a novelist with an annual income of one million.
The hardships he experienced in his youth made him not think about getting married and having children. Now that he suddenly has two more children to take care of, he feels uncomfortable.
But now the twins' cautiousness and flattery reminded Shi Cunjin of a long time ago. He was silent for a moment and pinched the twins' cheeks: "Okay, uncle likes obedient bugs the most."
The twins' eyes were bright and green, and under the dim light they really looked like two little kittens.
"Go to sleep, my babies." Shi Cunjin stood up, turned off the lights, gently closed the bedroom door, went out and turned on the small light in the living room. A ray of warm light poured into the dark bedroom, as if his dear insect had never left.
On the bed, the two insect cubs spoke in a low voice after a long time.
"Listen."
"To be loved."
In the living room, Shi Cunjin cleared the cluttered dining table, sat down, and began to fumble with the smart bracelet on his hand.
The Zerg tribe has advanced technology, and its smart bracelet integrates identity ID, mobile phone, and computer. Although the model is old, it has all the basic functions.
It is considered a luxury item on Border Star and was a 15th birthday present from the original owner’s brother.
Shi Cunjin looked up the commonly used account numbers and went into every website link, almost dazzled by the sight.
Most of the web links are official websites of luxury brands, and the social platform accounts are full of rich white women, famous military women, romance movies, messy shopping discount codes, etc. The image of a materialistic and dreamy user has emerged online.
Shi Cunjin didn't care and directly searched for the most popular social platform. He clicked on the first four portal websites and quickly browsed through them: news, publicity, military, entertainment... entertainment!
He clicked on it immediately. It was an entertainment platform that brought together food, drink, entertainment, major campus forums, chasing male insect stars, and various strategy guides.
In Shi Cunjin's opinion, the combination of L station + W blog + YouTube is the largest platform for young people to socialize in their spare time, without a doubt.
He clicked on the live broadcast area, which had 6 channels.
Mechas, tactics, alien galaxies, games, knowledge, and competitions.
Shi Cunjin looked at the hot list and the live broadcast list. 40% were explaining the actual combat and maintenance techniques of this year's new mechas, 40% were live broadcasts of alien planet exploration, and 20% were miscellaneous games.
Without exception, these anchors are all female, and the content they broadcast is relatively hardcore and technical.
Exactly the same as the original owner's memory.
Shi Cunjin entered male insect in the search bar, and the navigation gave more than one million pages of videos.
His eyelids twitched. It was really... much more than he had imagined.
After a careful look at the first page, as expected, there was no live broadcast room of the male insect anchor.
A quick flip through the pages shows that 90% of the pages are compilations of male insect stars who have starred in romance movies, and a small portion are videos explaining techniques for dating male insects.
Apart from this, there is no further news of male insects appearing online.
There was none of the otaku dance area, chat room, or virtual anchor that Shi Cunjin had seen on L station!
He breathed slowly and kept his mind calm. Shi Cunjin knew clearly that he did not have the qualifications to be an interactive anchor now.
In an age of advanced technology, it is abnormal that there are no active male insects on the most mainstream social platforms!
The original book provided in the system is missing most of the plot, and the original body's memory does not know anything about law. Shi Cunjin doesn't know whether male insects cannot broadcast live or all male insects don't like to show up in public. The lack of key elements makes Shi Cunjin very passive!
Even if he has a vision of a prosperous entertainment industry in his mind, he cannot just ignore the live broadcast on impulse.
He is not the one-in-a-million S-level male protagonist like the original novel. If he shows his true colors right away, I'm afraid the Red Ant Gang will come to break in and pay a visit soon.
You have to think of a live broadcast theme.
In the 21st century, the types of goods that are revitalized by live broadcasts are on the verge of being lost. There are countless strange and bizarre industries, and not all popular live broadcasts require appearances!
Shi Cunjin calmed down and watched the female insect inside talking freely, recounting one interesting and thrilling alien adventure after another. He stared at the lists and thought.
In the insect world, the first choice for the female insects who can most quickly provoke the mainstream social group is definitely the male insects themselves.
Gradually, another tricky method of taking an unconventional approach slowly took shape in Shi Cunjin's mind.
If the most active users of a social platform are all female insects, and male insects are inactive, but all female insects are chasing after male insects... In a world with poor cultural and entertainment resources, where you can neither show your face nor speak, if you want to catch the mainstream attention in one move, what could be more offensive than words?
Shi Cunjin closed his eyes. The dormant system in his mind was working. As long as he thought about it, a pixelated man would appear on his bracelet.
This is the last golden finger the system leaves for Shi Cunjin. He can use part of the system's operating rights. He cannot become a top hacker who can come and go freely to steal all digital information, but it is no problem for him to pretend to be a virtual account and commit fraud.
Shi Cunjin forged an ID for real-name verification by referring to the soldier ID of the female soldier's brother.
Adult, fully coded, active military female, IP coordinates directly virtual positioning to the vicinity of the garrison corps on the border star.
Now it is after the war, the Zerg have won a great victory, and Shi Cunjin applies for registration of a female ID for military construction. This new and privileged identity is immediately approved during the live broadcast.
He looked around the districts and finally chose the Knowledge channel.
After the victory of the Zerg War, there are now many female soldiers on leave live chatting, bragging, and boasting about how many alien beasts they have killed in the [Knowledge] channel, which has the highest traffic among the six sub-channels.
Shi Cunjin got everything ready and opened the live broadcast room. The platform live broadcast prompt popped up, and the line "Give your live broadcast room a resounding name!" gave Shi Cunjin a bold idea.
He looked at the time. It was 8:55 p.m., the time period with the heaviest traffic.
Shi Cunjin began to think word by word, and the system's simulated pixel figures appeared one by one.
【@Fate stay tonight
My roommate always wears thick clothes. One day when I came home early, I unexpectedly discovered that he actually had a tail hook? 】
Shi Cunjin was not in a position to appear in person at the moment, so he flipped through the original book provided by the system and selected a picture of a flower cluster in the style of a college building from the few illustrations that were produced. He placed it in the live broadcast room as a whiteboard, replacing the anchor position.
He was careful and made the input characters very small, so that one board could write 2-3000 characters, and it also created a contrasting effect where the live broadcast name was exaggeratedly large, while the live broadcast content was so small that one had to click in and manually zoom in to see it clearly.
Shi Cunjin clicked to start the broadcast, and the live broadcast room simultaneously entered the real-time update of the ranking changes.
Just in case, some super administrators saw it and blocked it, and also to prevent some excited female insects passing by and calling the police directly, the first sentence Shi Cunjin wrote after the broadcast was a notice:
[The text story narrated in this live broadcast room is adapted from a true story, not in a continuous tense, and no male insect was harmed. All rights of interpretation belong to the original author.]
Shi Cunjin began to write the story:
[This is a story that has already ended. I tell it now to prove that even ordinary female insects have the opportunity to gain true love.
My name is Fate Wynn, I'm a female red mantis, and I was just admitted to the Mecha Department of the Autonvin Military Academy this year.
I guess there are guys like me in every mecha academy on every planet, ordinary, straightforward, and with no other outstanding advantages except strength and the ability to obey orders.
Learn how to become an excellent mecha soldier, get good grades, join the army, go to the front line to win contribution points, and then spend a lot of contribution points to apply for a date with Mr. Xiongzi.
If you are lucky, you can spend a romantic night with a distinguished male insect, but if you are unlucky, your whole life will end like this.
I have always had bad luck. My luggage was stolen right after I arrived at Satellite City. My ID and admission card were inside.
Oh my god! I must be the only idiot who lost my admission card before I even started school!
The series of identity verifications exhausted me, and it took so long that I was assigned to the abandoned dormitory area.
Yes, guys, it is the haunted house in the third campus of Otuwen, your favorite place to avoid surveillance cameras and instructors to smoke and play cards.
The place was still open for occupancy in the last two months before it was demolished, and was allocated to some students who came from border stars for exams.
I could have been assigned to the newly built ninth dormitory area, which is closest to the mecha simulation square, but now I can only live here. My head is filled with resentment, and until I see my roommates, I feel like a shrapnel shell about to explode.
Meeting the love of my life with anger is the most regrettable thing in my life, no doubt about it.
……]
As soon as the name of the live broadcast, which was enough to shock the insects, entered the real-time update dynamic list, it immediately attracted the female insects who were browsing the smart bracelets. This time point was just the leisure time after dinner, and it was also the time when the armies of various colleges had a long vacation after the war, so the platform traffic was terrifyingly large.
As soon as they see the title clearly, no female insect will refuse to click into this live broadcast room. Those who react quickly will even urge the super administrator to come.
But when I clicked in and took a look, huh?
Why is there only one picture playing in a loop? This is not a live broadcast?
Hmm? This picture seems to be a corner of a courtyard in the Ottoman College. If you look closely, isn't the building in the picture the war zone mechanical clock tower that is not open to the public on campus?
Because of this little detail, bullets kept appearing.
[What a big tone! You don’t even need to thank me for calling the police! ]
[Non-current case? Adapted from a true story? What?]
【etc?】
[What did you mean by saying that no male insects were harmed? How did the male insects get to Ottowen? ]
[What kind of roommate is this? Are you afraid of being punished by the instructor for having sex in college?]
[This is about Mr. Male Insect. Aren’t you afraid of getting a lawyer’s letter for talking nonsense? 】
The super administrator ID came in and was about to close the live broadcast room, but when he saw the notice clearly, he didn't know whether to leave or close the room. The worker who was operating the employee account behind him was in a dilemma.
There is no provision in the Male Insect Protection Act that prohibits the spread of male insect news, otherwise many love stories starring male insect stars and dating tips videos edited by them would be banned.
But the law does not allow female and male insects to live together illegally.
It can be said that the name of this live broadcast room is just testing the boundaries between protection law and normal behavior.
Regarding the noble male insect, the super administrator hesitated for a moment and chose to continue observing in the live broadcast room.
As a result of the super administrator's hesitation, many viewers flocked into the live broadcast room within a short period of time, followed by various questions and complaints.
