Chapter 57 A gift for tough guys to urge them to update
At this moment, Yu Mian was hiding behind the wall at a corner not far away, with his heartbeat speeding up.
"Is this guy really sick or pretending to be sick... He opened the door too fast, right?!"
If he ran a little slower after stuffing the note, he would have been caught by Huo Ting who opened the door.
If he ran faster than me even when he was sick, it would be too outrageous!
[I feel like it's because you haven't walked for a long time, and your legs are a little unskilled. ]
The small system looked at Yu Mian and supplemented silently.
Hearing this, Yu Mian also looked at his legs.
"It seems to be true... But I suspect it may also be because of the growth period."
Just like when you grow taller, isn't it said that bones will occasionally hurt?
When the mermaid grows, maybe the tail scales will also cause some discomfort in the legs and poor balance?
"Hiss... and this time there are still scales on the ankles that haven't completely changed!"
Especially when Yu Mian lifted the robe that the system had conjured for him, revealing two sections of well-proportioned white calves, he found that there was actually a thin layer of light golden scales on the ankles that had not completely disappeared!
But it doesn't look scary, but rather has an indescribable strange beauty.
It's like wearing a circle of glittering crystal ornaments on the ankles, sparkling.
[It looks pretty good! ]
The small system watched Yu Mian raise his toes curiously and a little puzzled, and the scales on the ankles also reflected light-colored fine rays as the movements changed. After watching for a long time, it was indeed a bit fascinated.
"It's just a little itchy..."
Yu Mian bent down and touched the scales on his ankle. He wanted to pick them off, but he resisted the urge.
The scales were already falling off, and he picked off a few of them. Aren't they getting fewer and fewer?
[Don't pick them. They will probably be gone by the time they fall off. It will be more comfortable to go back and soak in the water soon.]
The small system didn't have much experience in raising fish, so it could only stop Yu Mian's itchy hands and give some tentative suggestions.
Yi Yi Tong was completely distracted by the scales on his ankle that had not completely disappeared, so he missed the whole process of Huo Ting picking up the scale that fell during his panicked escape.
When Yu Mian poked half of his head out from the corner of the wall again and looked at Huo Ting's living room door with a little caution and curiosity, he found that his note had been taken away.
"He took it away. Will he reply to me immediately?"
[Maybe, we will check it out soon. Let's go back and have some fun! ]
In the bedroom, the note was unfolded and placed aside.
Huo Ting, wearing a coat, was sitting at the desk, staring at the light golden crystal slice in his palm.
If it is possible to doubt that this is some kind of jewelry from the visitor that fell on the carpet, it is obviously impossible recently.
After all, during this period of time, there are very few people who can enter the second floor.
Qiao Ni never wears any jewelry during work.
Moreover, when Huo Ting observed the crystal flake, his five sensitive senses could even vaguely detect a familiar light fragrance.
It was the fragrance of the bottle of essence he brought back from the mall.
So this is a scale. It
is even very likely that it has just fallen off.
When Huo Ting was sure that his inference this time should be correct, he suddenly felt that the slightly cool scale seemed to be a little hot.
Subconsciously, he put it back on the paper on the table.
After all, in interstellar social etiquette, most races with scales usually care about the collection and preservation of scales.
If you touch it without the other party's consent, or even hold it in your hand, it can be said to be a very offensive behavior.
"He should be very young."
At this moment, Huo Ting was finally convinced that the person who was staying in his study was probably not very old.
It was even possible that he had been separated from the elders of the tribe, so that he did not even have some basic common sense.
The phenomenon of scaling usually occurs in most of the scaling tribes around adulthood, and they will often take leave to go home and rest at this time.
After the scaling is completely completed, they will go out to work or go to school.
"..."
Therefore, Huo Ting looked at the note with "Are you sick?" again, and a very subtle emotion suddenly emerged in his eyes.
He couldn't take care of himself, but he couldn't help but come to care about others.
In a sense, Huo Ting suddenly understood the helpless mentality of Hals and Joni towards him before.
*
"Dingding——"
When there was a knock on the study door, Yu Mian, who was sitting on the wall of the fish tank concentrating on soaking half of his tail, suddenly widened his eyes and turned to look at the door.
The next second, he quickly turned back into a small fish, swinging his tail into the landscape reef in the fish tank.
"Huo Ting is here?"
[Should be! ]
And Huo Ting seemed to have expected that "that person" in the room would probably take some time to prepare. After knocking on the door, he waited for half a minute before pulling open the gilded handle.
Huo Ting pushed open the door of the study, and his eyes inevitably fell on the extremely eye-catching aquarium in the center when he looked inside the study.
A series of extremely colorful fish were swimming around the reefs and water plants, and the shimmering water light added a bit of dreamy color.
The existence that I had not paid much attention to in the past, at this moment, became the biggest suspect of a certain possibility.
So much so that Yu Mian watched Huo Ting leave again, and then emerged from the water, holding the wall of the fish tank and looking at the closed door hesitantly.
The long raven-colored eyelashes were wet and clustered, making the confusion in the bottom of the eyes have a bit of mist, like a morning star covered with dew.
"Why was that guy staring at the fish tank just now?"
I almost thought I was discovered.
[Maybe he thought that no one had come to clean the fish tank for several days? Didn't he leave without doing anything in the end? 】
After all, since Huo Ting seemed to have specifically instructed the second floor not to have anyone come unless necessary, even this luxurious fish tank has been taken care of less frequently.
"Hmm..."
Yu Mian lowered his head and thought for a moment, and felt that what the small system said made sense, and still couldn't help but go to see Huo Ting's reply.
[It's not serious, but don't come over in the next few months, it's contagious and dangerous. - Huo]
"But this is so contradictory."
Yu Mian looked at the note and felt that the first sentence "not serious" and the second sentence "dangerous" were very contradictory.
What's wrong with this guy?
After all, he is his "power bank".
Without contact with Huo Ting, the speed of mental power recovery will be much slower.
Therefore, Yu Mian felt that if Huo Ting had any problems, he still had some obligation to "repair" him.
After all, it was thanks to Huo Ting's help in buying skin care products that my fish tail felt comfortable for a long time.
[It is probably a problem with the spiritual sea. Although your spiritual power has a purifying effect, it must be in contact... Uh]
The small system seemed to have seen Yu Mian's idea, but it did not agree.
As a result, when the small system was muttering, the background prompt that had not appeared for a long time appeared again!
[Detection of daily task release points]
[If the problem is solved within 30 days, the task effect can be deducted from one month's rent and Internet fee at one time. Because the detection of the hidden condition bonus is triggered, the daily task reward will continue to double from this time. 】
"Wow... What do you mean by special condition bonus, double the reward? When did I get a hidden bonus?"
Yu Mian suddenly became alert.
[I don't know where you got this bonus from, it keeps doubling! ? ]
"How strange."
Yu Mian pondered this question while soaking the fish tail. The beautiful fish tail subconsciously created ripples in the water. It's
really more comfortable to soak in the water.
It's just that the fish tank is too small, and the tail can't be fully stretched out.
In fact, if Yu Mian pushed open the door of the study at this moment, he would find that Huo Ting did not return to the bedroom, but stood silently with his eyes closed at the escalator not far away, as if waiting for something. It was not
until Huo Ting vaguely heard the sound of water surging in the study. Although it was very slight, it almost became a kind of final evidence for the extremely sensitive five senses during the manic-depressive period.
"..." However, Huo Ting, who opened his eyes, just looked at the box in his hand. The extremely beautiful scale was finally put into a brocade box. In fact, Huo Ting wanted to return it directly with the note, and sternly reminded the young "resident" to take good care of his scales. He even wrote a second note for this. [During the scaling period, you should pay attention to rest and supplement your nutrition appropriately. ] But in the end, Huo Ting didn't know why, he took it out again. After all, if he sent it back, it would be almost like telling the other party directly what he had guessed. But the other party was very sensitive to surveillance and obviously didn't want to be known... and if he compared the size of the scales in the box with the size of any fish in the fish tank, Huo Ting frowned and realized that something was wrong. The other party could probably change his body shape, so he could hide perfectly in the study without being discovered. But if he could change into the size of an adult, the fish tank in the study seemed too small. All kinds of thoughts emerged in his mind, so Huo Ting didn't realize that for the first time in his life, he had an emotion called "worry". "What? Expand the fish tank..." So when Secretary Hals was called upstairs the next day, almost the whole person couldn't believe what he heard. "Yeah." Huo Ting just looked away in response to Secretary Hals's shocked reaction, pretending to be calm and casual while looking at the document in his hand. After all, Huo Ting had been looking at the scale in the box all night, and it can be said that he was thinking about this problem. Secretary Hals couldn't help but look at Huo Ting several times, but found that his young master had no intention of explaining at all, and could only say "got it". "So what is going on..." After leaving the house, Secretary Hals, who was full of doubts, felt that his young master was really getting weirder and weirder since the surveillance on the second floor was removed. Could it be that the manifestation of this year's mental radiation period is this kind of abnormal behavior and preferences? "Secretary Hals, don't you think this is a good thing? Look, you agreed to let me bring the fruit up today." Joni was in a good mood and thought it was a good sign. "Put it in the study too?" "Yes, after all, I'm just an ordinary person without mental power, and I can't get close to the living room like you." Joni understood this quite well. Sending it to the study and letting the young master take it himself is just an indirect isolation. Secretary Hals's expression became more and more strange. * And just as the serialization of "Eternal Night Rose" was about to end, the wonderful and bizarre story of the third book "Reborn Star Soldier King" was also circulated more and more widely. This new book, which was accidentally published halfway and had no publicity, has become increasingly popular along with this nationwide melon-eating TV series. The number of views of An's live video has even broken the platform record. After all, as a Federation member, watching a group of alien physiques listening to a book with fascination is indeed a perfect live broadcast effect, with the screen full of "hahahahaha" popping up non-stop. The little boy from the deserted planet that An held on his head has also become a small internet celebrity from the alien galaxy. Because when An was returning to the Federation Star on a private starship, he directly stated that he could subsidize all the expenses of the study and training of these little guys on the garbage planet before they reach adulthood. This allows the youngest fans of the fish soup noodle teacher to go to school with peace of mind.
Although Mr. An obviously doesn’t need the money, for the vast majority of Star Internet users, this story about the new book is undoubtedly heartwarming and adorable.
The key is that Mr. An occasionally posts a few pictures of the latest training results of the little guys on Star Blog, which somehow gives people the feeling that they are being nurtured by the whole nation.
The messages urging the update of "Reborn Star Soldier King" are one after another.
What about [Big brother, the little fans in the outer galaxy who are waiting for your new book to be updated are about to graduate from elementary school! Why don’t you update it yet! ]
or [If you don’t update it, I will also graduate from college. Do you think this is reasonable! ? 】
or even [I can only say that "Star Soldier King" is a series that will be released in my lifetime.
If I don't update it, my grandchildren will die soon - [scream]] Yu Mian felt as if he hadn't updated for a few years, but the first volume of "Star Soldier King" was only released not long ago, right? Orz
And in the atmosphere of expectation, the editorial department of Universal also unexpectedly made a big news.
"What, you mean this express delivery was sent to Mr. Fish Noodles by a reader from planet EC580?"
When editor Shax was called to handle the acceptance as the first person in charge, everyone stared at the huge cage with a rough atmosphere in the lobby on the first floor of Universal in amazement.
Inside was a sleeping interstellar alien beast that had been anesthetized!
"Yes, it took a lot of effort to deliver it to you. The interstellar express fee alone is a considerable expense. If you are sure it is correct, please sign for it."
The Star Navigation team in charge of express delivery was obviously quite amazed.
It takes a lot of skill to capture such a rare, giant and ferocious alien beast alive.
"..."
Editor Shax's hand was shaking a little when he signed. As for the deputy editor and a group of editors beside him, they looked at the express delivery in front of them with numbness and shock.
To be honest, since Mr. Fish Soup Noodles’ works became popular, many enthusiastic interstellar readers who don’t know the author’s specific address have indeed tried to contact the author by sending various express mails to the editorial department.
For example, the letter that Lilith sent was also delivered through the Universal Editorial Department.
But the letter sent by Lilith was very elegant and was packed in such a delicate box.
This... this beast, no matter what, can’t be sent to Mr. Fish Soup Noodles!
Where on the Central Star is there a place to raise this interstellar beast?
"By the way, the other party also asked us to convey a message on their behalf, ahem!"
Before leaving, the courier cleared his throat with a note in his hand.
"I can't write, so I asked someone to convey this message for me. As a mercenary who once wandered the universe, I was disabled for a long time after my leg was injured, and I even became a star thief. It
was not until I met Lin Mu, the character you wrote, that I felt that all this seemed to be nothing, and everything could still start over again.
After thinking for a long time, there was nothing special on the deserted planet, so I asked my brothers to catch a star lion monster mentioned in your book as a gift for you. I hope the second volume can come out as soon as possible.
I believe you must be a tough guy like Lin Mu, and you must have wandered the universe before. I really want to invite you for a drink if I have the chance!"
"Over."
The courier also read the note in his hand with a strange look on his face, and directly handed the note and the receipt to the petrified editor Shax.
"Oh - it turns out that this reader was a pirate!?"
After a few minutes of silence, the other editors on both sides subconsciously exclaimed.
Who can give such a wild gift? It turns out that this
reader is a pirate fan!
Has the current readers of Mr. Fish Soup Noodles already covered this special group...
"Oh my God, although it is very touching, this is really a huge misunderstanding."
Only Editor Shax was sweating profusely while holding the message. In his heart, he could not equate Yu Mian, whom he had seen with his own eyes, with a muscular man.
Who told this reader that the author Mr. Fish Soup Noodles was a muscular man?
Speaking of which, isn't this a huge misunderstanding caused by information asymmetry?
After all, these readers in the outer galaxy have only read the book "Reborn Interstellar Soldier King".
And the book describes the life of a mercenary in such a detailed and vivid way, and all kinds of jargon routines can be used vividly.
It seems that it is easy to misunderstand that the author was once an interstellar wanderer who licked blood on the tip of a knife. He processed his personal experience artistically and wrote such a passionate story.
At this moment, Shax was holding this note and looking at the sleeping giant beast in front of him. He had no idea how to contact the fish soup noodle teacher.
[Fish: Huh? This is sent to me to urge me to update? ]
In fact, when Yu Mian saw the photo taken by Shax editor, he was really shocked.
This different group of readers seems to have completely different styles...
Although the main text of the first volume of "Reborn Interstellar Soldier King" does mention that the protagonist Lin Mu accidentally picked up an interstellar alien beast while hunting for treasure.
But at that time, I just described it directly according to the big lion on Earth, and there was no so-called interstellar prototype at all.
I never thought that this Star Pirate Reader is so powerful and real.
He managed to catch an interstellar monster that is similar to the one described in the book and sent it to me.
Is this a request for updates or a threat...
It's so exaggerated that it will eat me if I don't update. Orz
The key is that I feel that the big lion sleeping in the cage is also quite innocent. It was caught and given to me as a gift for no reason.
[Crispy Shark: Well, so, what should we do now? And are you going to reply? The courier on the other side is still waiting for you.]
Shax is also very anxious at this time. Such a big cage placed at the door of the Universe Building is really extremely eye-catching.
What kind of legend is this about a beast and a tough guy? There have been several media outlets trying to interview them. It's hard to keep it secret.
If readers knew about it, it would definitely be a wild new trending search.
[Yu: This... I have to think about this too. Can't I return the goods? ]
Yu Mian didn't know how to respond to the kindness of the readers on the desolate planet.
"How should I deal with this thing..."
Yu Mian was happy because for some reason, a construction team suddenly came to the study yesterday and renovated the entire fish tank overnight.
This time, they directly removed a whole wall of space and turned it into a spectacular dark blue aquarium.
Now Yu Mian can not only soak in it, but even swim.
The fish tail is so happy that it feels much more comfortable.
Yu Mian, lying in the fish tank, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally tried to write a letter back to this reader.
The general idea is that I am very grateful for your gift, but the space in my house is limited, and I really can't keep such a big lion. And I am not a mercenary as you think. It is just because I heard many legendary stories about mercenaries that I thought of creating such a work. I also hope that you can start a new chapter in your life like Lin Mu...
Huanyu was afraid that the reader could not read the words, so he specially sent someone to read the recording and sent it over.
As a result, I received the latest reply not long after.
"He said he knew, it's okay, the gift doesn't need to be returned, you can do whatever you want. I still hope to see the second volume as soon as possible."
The courier who delivered the message this time was obviously in a strange mood.
[Crispy Shark: What should we do... If we keep it like this, it feels like something bad will happen. ]
[Fish: Uh, can it be fostered in the zoo? I can pay for all the feed and labor costs. 】
Faced with the inquiry from editor Shax, Yu Mian thought about it and it seemed that he could only think of this solution.
It would not hurt the kindness of this reader, and it would also allow this innocent big beast to have a good ending...
【Crispy Shark: Eh, it seems that this is actually possible. 】
Shax suddenly felt that it was a bit interesting.
Couldn't it even become a check-in point for readers in the future?
After all, the story behind it is too interesting.
So when the news that this big lion was sent to the Central Star Zoo was reported, it almost caused a sensation in the entire book fan circle in the central city.
【Shocked, this is a gift for urging the book to be updated personally from the alien galaxy boss of Fish Soup Noodles! It's so cool, a beast with a macho man? 】
【So is Mr. Fish Soup Noodles really a muscular macho man? But it is the readers from the alien galaxy who urge for updates. How come we can’t think of that! 】
【Are there any fans who want to go and see the book together tomorrow? There are discounts for group tickets! 】
Just when the book fans were planning to go together to see the update gifts sent by this powerful star thief fan to Fish Soup Noodles, a piece of news came out the next day.
The night after the big lion woke up, he disappeared and ran away...
"Help, I can't do anything if he runs away."
As for Yu Mian, who got the news, he nodded for a while.
After all, he was trying hard to fight with Huo Ting to write new notes.
【I really can't eat anymore, don't let Qiao Ni send more! [Crying]】
Huo Ting has been having problems recently. He always asks Qiao Ni to send a bunch of fruits for him to eat.
Key Yu Mian looked left and right, this so-called nutrient-rich and rare "fruit" in the interstellar space... is clearly broccoli from Earth.
God knows that what he hates most is broccoli!
