Chapter 3: People mock the anchor
[……
If I could go back in time, I would definitely be in great shape, open that door in the best possible condition, and greet Carol in the most cheerful and friendly voice.
Trying to make the best friendly impression on Carol should be like actively answering every question in high school sex education class about how to make a good first impression on male insects.
I regretted it many times in the countless nights that followed. If I could go back in time, I would really want to pull out the tongue of my younger self.
But I didn't know this when I was young. When I looked at Carol, who had already occupied a good seat by the window in the shabby dormitory, my first words were, "Hey, you weakling who is as skinny as a female. Free up that bed!"
After all, he was in my dorm, wearing an Ottoman cadet uniform, tall, and a little thin, but there was nothing wrong with him, so I naturally assumed he was a freshman as well.
Later I found out that he was so thin despite his tall stature because he wanted to hide his tail in his pants, and being thinner would make it less visible.
I still can't imagine how a male insect could come here to experience life, but there he was.
He appeared in my life as a freshman, in my dormitory, and faced me when I was the poorest, the most unlucky, and the one with the least ability to contribute.
In the face of my provocative words, Carol was not angry. A gentle smile appeared on his soft white face. His blue eyes were as beautiful as Lake Mobile. He said to me gently, "Hello."
I swear on my marriage certificate, I was so terrified that I once suspected that my brain was twisted by a smile and my sexual orientation changed to female.
……]
Shi Cunjin first blocked the barrage and comments, and wrote a story of nearly a thousand words in one go. All the details about the military academy were shared by the original owner's brother in a letter.
The demolished haunted building, the place where you can take a break from the instructors, and the famous Mobile Lake on the third campus.
Shi Cunjin seized on those details that only the insiders of the academy knew, added bold imagination, and mixed in the classic plot of women disguising themselves as men to go to school. The details were interspersed with hints and explicit indications, which were enough to make the female insects who came in for the title and then saw the warning patiently read it to the end.
He paused here and estimated the word count. Is this about the end for tonight?
But after the blocking was turned off, the barrage of comments rushed out like the Yangtze River bursting out of a dam, directly filling up the anchor room screen, and the most prominent comment was: [Insect shit!!! ! ! ! ]
Shi Cunjin: “…”
[Please! Can you use some brains when making up a story? It is well known that male insects hate dating female military insects the most! Even if they were to experience life, they would never choose a military academy!!]
[Oh my god, it turns out this anchor is a psychopath, go check his brain! ]
[Perhaps it’s because you’ve been rejected for multiple dates, and the excess glandular fluid from the estrus period has burned your brain! ]
[Hey man, listen to my advice, go to the hospital now to check the glandular congestion, and let the doctor give you two injections of sedatives. ]
[It's so funny, you can think of anything when you're horny. No way, no way, you're going crazy because you can't get a male insect, right? ]
[How disgusting! What a level! Don't use Ottoman as a gimmick! ]
Shi Cunjin took a quick look and found that most of them were attacks and ridicules of this kind, but he didn't get angry. He began to scroll up thoughtfully and read the other comments that were posted.
These sarcastic and humiliating comments are not all rubbish, some of them even provide Shi Cunjin with some 'social common sense'.
It turns out that male insects dislike military females the most, and mostly prefer to marry sub-females that are of similar slender body size.
It turns out that male insects do not appear in public because they marry early on with people of high social status... Female insects are kept at home and do not have to do anything but spend money to buy happiness.
It turns out that 95% of the victims of divorce and abuse cases are female soldiers.
These are common sense that the original owner who was born in the borderland did not know. The original work in Shi Cunjin's hand was in offline mode with missing pages, and it was accidentally typed and accidentally created. Neither of them knew these.
Several key words lit up in Shi Cunjin's mind and connected to form an outline network, which extended vertically and turned into several detailed chapters.
It was late at night. Shi Cunjin sat in the messy and cramped living room, turned on a small dim light, and looked at these emotionally charged comments, and chuckled.
Inadvertently, this sound is like a sigh of victory, a slight sigh that only an old hunter who has seen millions of routines will have when seeing new prey.
Look how smooth and shiny the fur is, and how green the leeks are!
Shi Cunjin decided to slightly change the direction of the text and turn the melodramatic campus story about a girl disguising herself as a boy into an absolutely impossible and counterintuitive pure love story.
Taking into account that the Zerg are more Westernized and have no literary background, Shi Cunjin also specialized in simplifying the writing style, writing in the format of translated novels, and using a single perspective and dual-line narration for the main characters.
Shi Cunjin continued to think, and the pixel man mimicked by the system started typing again.
[……
Soon, my dissatisfaction and anger disappeared with the college life. Mecha repair, mecha practice, and mecha maintenance classes made me very happy.
I gradually forgot about picking on my roommate. After all, I was studying the college's top subject, and Carol was studying auxiliary computer engineering.
To be honest, when I was young, I thought, come on, who can get into Autonoma University and study computer engineering?
The increased intensity of training made me forget about him. The next time we came into contact was when I came back to get something and saw that he didn't go to class, so I asked him a question.
…
…
He said that he was having trouble keeping up with the coursework. The project assigned by the college required him to collaborate with a mecha student, but the student he had made an appointment with gave him a break, and he and another classmate submitted the assignment a week before the end of the project.
Hey, I said I'm a bit of a muscle guy, but sometimes I get a flash of inspiration, especially when it comes to something I'm passionate about.
I am also a mecha student, so I know what this kind of behavior means. Probably wanting to laugh at him, I told him some common gambling tricks among mecha students.
Your School of Engineering is recruiting second-place female candidates. We are most annoyed by second-place female candidates and like to tease you with assignments. Anyway, as long as you don't hand in your names, you can cancel the appointment at any time.
I really deserve a beating. Now that I think about it, I want to beat myself up.
But Carol was sitting by the window and smiled at me and said, "Yes. I know, so I came straight back."
Then Carol turned his head back to continue reading. The sunlight came through the window, casting a layer of gold on his black hair and making his skin look almost white and translucent.
Even though I was slow to react at that time, I finally understood something. It was as if Cupid tapped my forehead and told me, "Do you know why male insects prefer sub-females?"
Sometimes they are so beautiful as flowers that one can't help but stop and look at them.
Carol is that kind of flower that makes me dazed.
I thought at the time that his turning his head was to say, I know your tricks and I don’t care.
That kind of seeing-through attitude really made me angry when I was young.
Or... I really don't know what to do, I was really fascinated by him for a few seconds.
He is a very kind, calm and gentle insect.
If it was me who got fooled and my graduation project was scrapped, then when I saw the bugs in the same courtyard again, I would rush up like a mad scorpion and beat them up first.
The sunshine that day must have cast a spell on me. I blurted out: "Will you cooperate? I'll help you?"
Every day since then, I have no regrets.
The way Carol smiled at me at that time is still vivid in my memory.
…
…
We worked hard together and finally his project received 6 Ss and 3 A ratings!
Hey, this is all my fault!
Well, at least half of it belongs to me!
I was so happy! The graduation results of the Mechanical Engineering Academy had not come out yet, but I went to Carol with a beer and a cigarette to celebrate. I talked to him about graduation and the future.
Later, when I was drunk, I made a promise that if I could join the 7th Division after graduation and become a vice-captain before the age of 30, I would definitely choose Carol as my auxiliary engineer.
I was excited and my head was swelling, as if my body was fully charged and could burst into even more intense happiness at any time.
6 S's and 3 A's, my god, even if it's a collaboration, this is my best result ever!
I said: Hey, man, you are awesome. If you don't pass the mecha assistant engineer exam in the future, come to me. I promise to take you to the stars! Together! Just like today! We can definitely become the best partners!
That's when Carol suddenly kissed me.
I didn't react at the time and just stood there stupidly, like a moth-wing being hit by a mercury lamp bomb.
So he kissed her again.
The beer we drank was White Stag, cold, sour, and bubbly, but Carol's lips were warm and sweet, with a sweetness that I couldn't understand.
He sucked on my lower lip gently, in a way that…oh my god, I could take a Scorpio's fist on my face, but he cautiously thought it was a flower.
I immediately jumped down from the abandoned balcony on the fourth floor and ran away in fear.
I didn't go back for several days. Carol was very nice, but I just wanted him to be my brother!
The relationship changed again when I was in heat. The inhibitor I prepared was in the dormitory, and I couldn't hide it. If I was in heat in public in the college, I would be deducted credits.
I had no choice but to go back and get it, but it was a little too late, and I rushed into the dormitory just like the first time we met, confused, frenzied, and full of suppressed anger.
The thick fluid from my cervical glands is burning my brain.
I think everyone has experienced this feeling to some extent. If the inhibitor is injected late, the glands on the side of the neck will continue to get hot, and the heat will gradually rise to burn the brain nerves, and the female insect will feel as uncomfortable as if it were being boiled.
I don’t remember how I got into the dormitory that night. I pushed the door open and fell on the cold, hard floor of the dormitory, curled up and twitching.
I was very desperate at the time. I thought about the excellent grades I had worked so hard to get, and the place in the government-sponsored military academy that I had fought hard for among thousands of classmates. My father-in-law died early in the Alien War, and I grew up in a relief institution. Every success of mine required my utmost effort.
If my grades drop in the first semester due to the deduction of serious warning credits, my government-sponsored study abroad quota for the next academic year will be given to another classmate.
I am in pain. I have never prayed to any false existence because I know that my insect life started from the mud of a lower planet and I cannot get the hope of those who only care about their higher races.
But I was already confused by then. I was twitching on the ground like a dying animal, mumbling hoarsely and incoherently begging for hope and luck that had never favored me.
I hope the college patrol doesn't find me.
I pray that I will be lucky enough to wake up in human form.
It was at this moment that I felt footsteps approaching, perhaps it was the College Patrol?
But it’s not.
Later, Carol told me that it was that night that he was leaving the academy and going back to the Ring Star, where he would continue to be the most popular young master.
But that night I stumbled back, my body burning, rolling on the ground, sobbing and talking nonsense, and it looked like I was about to be strangled to death by the pain.
When Carol recalled this part, he had a smile on his face whose meaning I couldn't understand. Every time he smiled like that, I felt uncomfortable.
I will kiss him, I will kiss him and he will be happy.
Carol said, that's the second time you scared me. It was so frightening and gripping. I was really afraid that you would die in pain.
So Carol stopped and squatted for me.
He is really nice and kind.
Then, I woke up the next day and nothing was wrong with my body. I felt comfortable and relaxed all over, my glands didn't hurt, and there was still enough inhibitor in my closet. My mind was confused.
But when I looked at the time, I had to go to class immediately. I would lose points if I was late, so I hurriedly changed my clothes and rushed out. I felt restless the whole day.
I already have a vague answer in my mind.
But how is this possible?
I know that some male insects have peculiar hobbies and like to travel to various places to experience life, but do they also go there in a big way?
They are welcomed like kings every time they travel, and we love seeing these male insects experience life everywhere.
But...but is this really possible?
I went back very early that day and was extremely nervous while walking on the road, but I had to know the answer.
…
I swiped open the dormitory door. This time, Carol was no longer sitting by the window. Only the sound of water came from the bathroom.
As I was hesitating, the bathroom door opened and Carol came out wrapped in only a bath towel.
And under the pure white bath towel, there is a tail hook that is swaying gently, showing that it is in a good mood.
The carapace is stacked and crocheted to form a cute question mark.
I stood there with my eyes wide open, like a fool seeing the sun for the first time.
Carol leaned against the bathroom door and laughed at me for five minutes!
I couldn't utter a word, it was as if my tongue had been pulled out.
…
At this moment, I couldn't say a word. He smiled at me, just like the first day we met, and said: Hello, my name is Carol.
This time he added one more sentence: I want to pursue you, Fate.
…
…
It was only after we had been together for a long time that I dared to ask Carol why she chose me?
Why are you willing to maintain a one-to-one marriage relationship with an ordinary female red mantis?
Why was he unwilling to take in another female servant despite the pressure from the court and parliament?
Carol called me stupid again.
He sat in my arms and kissed my beard. He actually liked the way I was nervous.
Most male insects don't like the snippy antennae of female insects, but Carol doesn't mind my antennae. Sometimes he bites them on purpose, and I get very nervous.
That's the thing, he likes that I'm worried that he hates my nervous and silly look.
Every time he likes to tease me for a while before answering my questions.
Carol said that at first she thought I was no different from other female insects, with a simple mind but well-developed limbs, treating mechas as lovers, and fighting, swearing and being violent as part of my personality, which really stepped on his minefield.
Carol said, but later I realized that I was just stupid, used to following the trend and gathering together, but my heart was pure.
They will be happy because they have conquered a difficult problem together, and will pay careful attention to every dangerous operation during the test. No matter how many times they fail the test, they will not get angry or give up, and their mentality will always be as full as the morning sun.
There is a kind of cute, silly, vibrant and confident happiness.
Carol said he liked that about me, that I showed happiness, that I was genuine.
It was not until I was 40 that I fully understood this statement.
At that time, my comrades were all of the same age, but a large number of them still failed to successfully apply for a date with Mr. Male Insect. Some of them became negative, and some became obsessive. They watched dating skills videos more and more frequently, dressing themselves up like beautiful thousand-eyed long-winged birds so that they could spread their wings perfectly anytime and anywhere.
It is perfect and exquisite, like one piece of uniformly produced goods in a factory.
At that moment, I suddenly understood.
Carol has lived in this kind of world since she was a child. All the female insects she has seen are beautifully packaged display stands, and their personalities are all the same: gentle, considerate, and cautious.
Carol had seen ten thousand faces like this and he found it horrifying.
So, he always loves me to show my personality and be true to myself in front of him.
Take him racing, swimming in the wild sea, chasing lightning and strong winds, and doing anything that makes me happy.
He loved my silly, wild, free spirit.
Carol said that I made him feel that he could live his life twice, so he loved me, chose me, and spent a life with me that would never be repeated.
……]
Shi Cunjin stopped writing when he thought of this. He used the classic method of first suppressing and then praising in the short essay format, and ended with a finale. I wonder how many insects can hold on to the end?
He clicked the shield button, but was shocked by the gift explosion special effects in the live broadcast room and his body fell back unconsciously.
The comment area of the live broadcast room was flooded with comments! The comments in white, colorful, and fluorescent fonts were so dense that it could make people suffer from trypophobia!
The fireworks light effects created by countless gift special effects that were impossible to see clearly flooded the entire live broadcast room. The real-time dynamic rocket robes exploded with dazzling special effects. The colorful light passed through the bracelet's intelligent brain, turning the messy small living room into a disco dance hall!
The most dazzling of these were the 10 mechanical warships that set sail one after another, awarded by an account with a blank profile picture.
The Mechanical Aviation Giant Ship is the highest-value reward on this live streaming platform, and one costs 100,000 credit points.
[User A567 gifted anchor @菲特 a mechanical battleship tonight, everyone come and draw the treasure chest! ]
The official platform notified this sentence a total of ten times.
[Which idiot is so rich? He destroyed ten battleships in a row? It would cost more than 100,000 gold roubles! ]
Ten warships set sail one after another, which was enough to make @菲特's live broadcast room, which stayed tonight, pull up a celebration notification and dominated the [knowledge] sub-channel for a full 100 minutes! Its influence on attracting traffic is immeasurable!
Shi Cunjin did not sign a contract for the new account he opened. An anchor without a contract will only be on the real-time broadcast list for ten minutes before being removed from the list. The audience traffic is definitely not as good as that of an anchor with a contract.
But the neat thing is that the live broadcast room has a unique name, Catching Insects, and it rubs back and forth between the male insect protection law and proper behavior, like a carefully prepared fishing hook. As long as a female insect who is playing the real-time broadcast list passes by, the hook will fly directly into his mouth!
The audience who are staying in the live broadcast room now, the first batch were attracted by [Roommate’s tail hook…? ], the second batch were brought in by word of mouth from the friends and relatives of the first broadcast audience to watch the jokes and have fun, and the third batch were attracted by the rich user’s reward and treasure chest opening!
During the period with the heaviest traffic, a wealthy person suddenly gave out ten huge gifts in a certain live broadcast room, and 90% of the female insects wandering around the [Knowledge] channel saw the notifications to celebrate the opening of treasure chests that dominated the charts and filled the screen.
At this point, everyone thought that it was some awesome Alliance lieutenant general or admiral who was going to do a live broadcast to review the tactics of the last Star Wars game.
Who else would spend so many credit points at once? If converted into gold, it would be enough to request a date with the male insect!
A group of female military cadets came in with great enthusiasm, and were surprised to see the name of the live broadcast room. They immediately became excited and cursed at the host like bullets - and then saw the ending, it smelled really good... No, is this true? I don't believe it!
The rich people's rewards attracted curious viewers, and the number of insects in the entire live broadcast room suddenly increased, and it was extremely lively. Other female insects who were hooked couldn't help but click to send gifts. The waves of gifts formed a virtuous cycle, repeatedly attracting new viewers. The number of insects in the live broadcast room increased from 7,000 to 50,000! And the number of insects is still increasing!
For a new anchor who has not signed a contract and has no recommended position on the rolling charts, this is simply an incredible super data!
The super moderator who had been on standby in the live broadcast room was shocked by the data!
When the insect count was only a few thousand, the supervisor thought it was okay and decided to observe the situation first. But now the insect count has continued to rise to 70,000 or 80,000, doubling tenfold. It is almost more exciting than buying funds.
The super manager was now getting a little impatient, and he immediately sent a message to his supervisor.
Shi Cunjin hadn't noticed these details yet, and now he only felt pain in his eyes. The light pollution formed by the light effects of countless gifts hit his eyes hard.
No matter how careless Shi Cunjin was, he was still shocked by the scene before him.
He took a deep breath to calm down, clicked on the block column, and chose to block the gift effects and flashing fonts, leaving only the pure and unpretentious white text comments.
The first comment I saw repeatedly was [Fate Wynn is a pseudonym!! I checked the alumni directory and there is no such female red mantis!!]
【Insect poop!!】
[Fuck! Is this true? ? ]
【Anchor 100% Aotuwen Graduate】
[Ten thousand faces... If you think about it carefully, it is true that many of the male insects' marriage partners are high-ranking officials of the alliance, big shots of the older generation.]
[Love my wild and free soul...Mr. Carol is so romantic]
[If you are really a male insect from the Ring Star, it will be no problem for you to use your connections to enter Otowen. ]
[How could a male insect take the initiative to attack a female's tentacles? Is Fate Wynn threatening Lord Carol?!]
[Oh my god, anchor!! Please say more!! Is it true? Mr. Carol really only has one female monarch, Fate Wynn? ? ]
Shi Cunjin leaned back in his chair, his heart pounding. After a while, he smiled with satisfaction, like a novice hunter who successfully hunted his first deer, or like an experienced beast who escaped a dangerous pursuit.
This road is viable and can be walked on!
At this moment, his bracelet vibrated slightly. Shi Cunjin lifted it up and saw that the backstage of the live broadcast room was filled with 100 pages + private messages. Because it had been blocked before, the notifications now came from the super administrator messages of the red ID.
