Chapter 59 Chapter 59

Mu Mu remembered that when Wen Ming bought him home, he could feel the touch of the thin coil of his fingers every time he applied ointment to the wound on his tail.

Later, he got familiar with the thin coil and only felt that the body temperature of humans was a few degrees higher than that of mermaids, and it was a little hot. Later

, when Wen Ming accidentally brushed against it, the fish tail was as sensitive as if it was burning.

Now, Mu Mu in human form is in contact with Wen Ming, and their body temperatures are close, but a cluster of flames still rise from his fingers, jumping and heating up.

Mu Mu realized that the reason for the heat was not the difference in body temperature between mermaids and humans.

Another piece of evidence of liking the owner was found!

Mu Mu's face under the mask was very excited. He started by holding Wen Ming's fingertips and moved upwards to interlock his fingers.

His fingernails, which were rounder than those of a mermaid, scratched Wen Ming.

Wen Ming shook off Mu Mu's hand and said in a calm tone, "Is there something wrong?"

Mu Mu rubbed the sweat on his palms and felt a little scared.

His master was so fierce outside, and he never spoke in this tone at home...

Mu Mu changed his way and shook hands with him again politely:

"You helped me again, thank you!"

"It's okay."

The two of them shook hands very lightly, and Wen Ming took the lead to withdraw and end the contact: "I'll leave first."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Mu Mu didn't move, as if he had returned to the helpless state of not being able to compete with the person in charge.

"You may not know your fame and status in the star world."

Wen Ming picked up the signature pen that had fallen to the ground at some point and put it in Mu Mu's palm:

"Be more unrestrained, don't be afraid."

He left here after he finished speaking. Mu Mu stayed where he was, with his eyes wide open, repeating in a low voice over and over again:

"Unrestrained... be unrestrained... I want to be unrestrained!"

The person in charge had an uncertain premonition in his heart: "Anchor?"

"Do you have a rubber band?"

"Yes, here you go."

Mu Mu tied up her messy hair: "Okay, the packaging is done, where are we going to receive the award later?"

The person in charge did not dare to say anything else, turned around and led the way:

"I'll take you to the starting point of the red carpet. After hearing the host read out your award, walk across the red carpet to receive the award."

"Red carpet?" Mu Mu asked curiously, "Just walk normally? Or do you have to perform your talent on it, and can you do somersaults and front rolls?"

"No, no, no! Just walk over there, and act cool, like a model."

"Model!" I know that!

The "model fish" clenched his fist with confidence: "Don't be afraid, be more unrestrained!"

Person in charge: ...

*

At this awards ceremony, the best viewing seats on the red carpet were all packed.

"Mr. Liu? Are you here for the ceremony, too?"

"Mr. Li, long time no see!"

The two shook hands as if they were discussing business, with tentative expressions in their eyes:

"You don't usually attend such events. What brings you here?"

"Why did you come? I came for the same reason..."

The two old foxes smiled in tacit understanding and said in unison: "The masked anchor!"

"My company has sent him several invitations for cooperation, but he has never responded once."

"Oh, don't mention it. I've sent him more than ten times. I heard that the masked anchor didn't even respond to Wen's private messages."

At this moment, Mr. Li and Mr. Liu forgot about their competitive relationship and looked at each other like close friends:

"I wasn't planning to come, but when I saw the hot search saying that the masked anchor showed up, I came here to see how cool he is in person. He doesn't even give me any face!"

"Me too!"

During the conversation, the host's tone became excited:

"Next, please welcome the long-awaited winner of the 'Most Influential Anchor' award -

the mermaid language

simultaneous interpreter, the masked anchor!" Everyone at the scene applauded together, with their eyes fixed on the end of the red carpet.

President Li and President Liu leaned forward, almost jumping out of their chairs, silently shouting:

Let me see how confident he is! ?

The sound system switched to music with clear drum beats, as if it was providing background music for the big boss.

Someone stepped on the drums and appeared from where everyone's sight met -

"Hello everyone, I can't get this honor without your support. First of all, thank you..."

Mu Mu stood at the exit, reciting the script seriously.

Audience: ?

"Anchor!" the person in charge reminded him from behind, "You haven't received the award yet. Go through the process before you say your acceptance speech."

"Can't we change the order?"

Mu Mu's voice echoed through the microphone tucked into his collar, echoing the ceremony scene:

"The script you just gave me is too long. I haven't memorized it well. I'll finish it now while I still remember it. I can leave after receiving the award."

The person in charge closed his eyes in despair.

You can't be so willful!

"You, you walk the red carpet first. It doesn't matter if you can't memorize your acceptance speech. Just express yourself freely. And..." "

Okay." Mu Mu raised one hand to interrupt the other party, "I understand. Just walk the runway like a model, right?"

He turned around and stepped onto the red carpet with a reliable look of "leave it to me".

The person in charge tried to persuade him to stay with a trembling hand: "No, I want you to stop talking, your microphone is connected to the sound system of the whole venue..."

I've heard that the masked anchor is "unskilled in life", but I didn't expect him to be so unskilled.

Award ceremony, danger!

Mr. Li in the audience was stunned: "How could he even say something like memorizing the script in advance?"

"No one would say that, unless..." Mr. Liu guessed, "He did it on purpose?"

President Li suddenly realized: "Is he using this method to imply that he is dissatisfied with the organizer forcing him to memorize the script?"

"This is a great trick, the masked anchor is really good!"

The two of them were next to the red carpet.

From this angle, they could clearly see the cameras around them aimed at the red carpet.

The award ceremony was originally just a small event within the live broadcast platform, but when the masked anchor came, it was promoted to a star-level scale.

Inside and outside the venue, in front of the screen of the live broadcast ceremony, the number of viewers reached an unimaginable number.

"Our company is a clothing brand. If we could sign an endorsement with him, we would have made a fortune now." President Li said regretfully.

"With his current popularity, we can't afford the price he would like." Liu sighed, "Which company is he endorsing now?"

The two looked at the clothes Mu Mu was wearing together: "This..."

Basic style that is not available in any brand, it can't be given away for free by the live broadcast platform?

The organizer will symbolically distribute clothes to the anchors, but the anchors all wear their own dresses.

So far, no "weird" anchor has worn it directly on the red carpet.

"What kind of branded clothes is this? He appeared in front of the media, but he didn't accept the endorsement?"

"Don't jump to conclusions yet." Liu pondered, "The masked anchor may want to highlight the details. The largest sponsoring company is not in the clothing business!"

The two turned to look for details -

jewelry, with pierced ears but no earrings;

hair accessories, ordinary rubber bands that can be bought in bundles for five-star coins at street stalls.

Mr. Li was silent for a moment: "...Have you found it?"

"Don't worry! We haven't paid enough attention to the details, a little more detail..."

Mr. Liu said firmly: "Perfume! It must be perfume!"

Mu Mu gradually approached, and Mr. Li and Mr. Liu took a deep sniff:

"This is..." Barbecue smell?

President Li paused for a few seconds: "President Liu, such a strong 'fireworks scent' is too advanced for the perfume industry, what do you think?"

President Liu collapsed on the chair powerlessly: "He really didn't accept any endorsements, he is a 'top streamer' in Star Interstellar, wasting his popularity!"

"He chose to show up publicly today, which is to firmly reject all commercial 'harassment' and show that he is focused on the mermaid language."

"I admire you. Don't send him private messages in the future, otherwise it will be disrespectful to him!"

All the brands in Star Interstellar reached a consensus at this moment and withdrew the invitation to endorse...

Mu Mu walked in front of the crowd with his head held high on the red carpet, feeling good about himself.

Hum~ The model steps are not bad!

He touched the outline of the earring through his pocket: After walking the red carpet this time, he may get an endorsement!

Mu Mu was so happy when he thought of this possibility that he almost jumped up.

He walked straight to the center of the stage, picked up the trophy, returned to the red carpet, and clocked out.

"Wait!" The host was shocked, "Host, it's not time to hold the trophy yet!"

Mu Mu pouted and reluctantly put the trophy back in place:

"Aren't there only three steps: walking the red carpet, receiving the award, and giving a speech? I've already walked the red carpet, and I memorized my speech as soon as I came on stage. The only thing left is to receive the award."

President Li and President Liu in the audience praised again:

"He really is specifically satirizing this kind of procedural activity, he has personality, hahaha."

"Live a free life, we are all role models!"

...

Mu Mu came to the host and asked in a low voice:

"How long will it take before I can receive the award? I want to go home early. If I'm late, I won't be able to catch up with the TV series updated today."

"...very quickly, really."

The host smiled bitterly: "Host, the microphone I put in for you has a very good reception. Even if you speak in a low voice, the audience can still hear you."

"!" Mu Mu nodded to the audience embarrassedly.

The audience burst into applause of encouragement:

"Little host, you are so brave. Anyone can see that the organizer just wants to take advantage of your traffic!"

"I support you. Interstellar needs people like you who dare to speak and act!"

Mu Mu blinked and responded with a few "thank you".

The host glanced at the lengthy process on the cue card, turned on the headset, and asked the person in charge in this way:

Are we still going according to plan?

In order to attract attention to the masked host, the organizer specially designed a number of links to keep the masked host on the stage as long as possible.

But judging from the situation, it is difficult to keep all those links.

"No, we have to streamline the process.

The masked anchor is playing the pig to eat the tiger. He seems to know nothing, but he is actually refusing us to ride on his popularity. How smart!"

The host's earphones rang with the voice of the person in charge:

"If you can't ride on his popularity, don't force it. Change the plan and go for another wave!"

The two most influential topics in the interstellar world are both related to mermaids.

The first is a human anchor who translates mermaid language;

the second is a mermaid herself...

The host nodded secretly and said to the microphone:

"Dear audience friends, I believe everyone is looking forward to who will be the guest presenting the award to the masked anchor?"

Mu Mu turned around in surprise: "Isn't it you?"

"In order to match your unique influence in the interstellar, we specially invited the first mermaid spokesperson in the history of the interstellar who has become popular recently!"

"?" Mu Mu felt more and more something was wrong.

The spotlight was aimed at the mermaid cage that appeared on the stage.

The host said in an impassioned tone: "Mu Mu's schedule was too full and he couldn't come to the scene, but we invited -

Mu Mu's best friend, Mu Mu!"

Mu Mu:...

Can I get this for free?

The host could see Mu Mu's speechless expression through the mask, and said in surprise:

"Uh, host, haven't you heard of the endorsement fish Mu Mu?"

"No, I have heard of it."

Mu Mu paused for a few seconds: "More than just heard of it..."
