After Gu Yumian finished his meal and watered the plants, he sat on the balcony, enjoying the breeze and daydreaming.
The first panda he raised after joining the company was named Da Guo. Later, Da Guo gave birth to twins, named Er Guo and San Guo. Before he got into the car accident, the cubs had just been weaned and were chubby and clingy.
I don’t know what happened to them later.
Gu Yumian has been raising pandas for a long time and has developed a personality similar to theirs: gentle and slow, he can be in a daze all day when he has nothing to do.
It was ten o'clock in the evening before he closed the balcony door and returned indoors.
The efficiency of the Xingkong platform is not high. His contract will not be officially entered until tomorrow. After that, he will be a signed anchor. As soon as Gu Yumian stepped into the room from the balcony, Xingkong pushed a message to his light brain.
[See you this spring! The Starry Sky Live platform's new anchor support program has officially launched!]
Gu Yumian clicked to see the details.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of Star Live, and the platform has launched a series of events and competitions, including a new anchor support program. This program offers a range of benefits to qualified new anchors, including recommended spots, bonuses, upgraded contracts, and even endorsements, making it a significant investment.
Less developed satellite planets like Tak have only one spot. New anchors who secure a spot can participate in the Newcomer Competition held on the Capital Planet to compete for the Star Popularity King.
Shortly after the event began, many streamers had already signed up. Gu Yumian opened the newcomer support program section on the Takstar server and saw that the most popular newcomer was doing a food livestream, with a whopping 40,000 viewers.
"Forty thousand people..."
Gu Yumian was stunned. Tak had a small population to begin with, and many people were asleep at this hour. Forty thousand people, this new anchor was truly remarkable.
With only one in a million chosen, it seems I'd better not even dream of this new talent support program.
Gu Yumian hadn't had high hopes, so he wasn't disappointed. He watched other people's live streams for a while, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Inside the hovercraft, the secretary was apprehensive. Their position had a high casualty rate, and their safety depended heavily on the emperor's mood. And right now, he couldn't tell whether the emperor was happy or unhappy.
Since the human youth entered the room and could no longer be captured by the camera, the projection on the screen automatically ended.
The levitation vehicle had already reached its destination, but the monarch had no intention of leaving.
He lowered his eyelids and stared at the back of his hand boredly.
The secretary's forehead was covered with sweat. "...Your Majesty?"
The monarch's skin was so pale that the blue blood vessels beneath the skin on the back of his hand could be seen. But now, visible to the naked eye, the color of the blood vessels began to turn from blue to red, as if they were about to burn.
The secretary's mental strength was not weak, and he could clearly feel the oppression at this moment - an extremely terrifying pressure that completely surpassed all living beings.
This is definitely not normal.
The monarch looked at the dark red blood vessels, was silent for a moment, and sneered: "Atavism?"
In a flash, the secretary caught on to this word. Atavism is unique to the royal family, typically occurring in adulthood, triggered by certain special circumstances...
Before he could think any further, within half a minute, the emperor's overly powerful and majestic mental power gushed out without any concealment. The secretary clung tightly to the corner of the levitator, feeling unable to breathe.
A layer of ice quickly formed in the levitator, the intelligent system was damaged by the biological wave attack, and the temperature dropped sharply to below zero.
Dark clouds quickly gathered over Tak, brewing a rainstorm.
Half an hour later.
The adjutant carefully knocked on the levitation device's door. The entire levitation device's intelligent system was damaged, reduced to a pile of scrap metal. Finally, they had to forcibly cut the door open, revealing the scene inside.
Thick ice filled the entire space. The secretary fainted on the spot. There was no sign of His Majesty. There was only half of a damaged computer on the ground.
Several people present were startled, their expressions varied. Some panicked, others began to secretly calculate. Finally, it was Grand Duke Finnick, who had assisted the monarch for many years, who made the final decision:
"Block the news and send someone down to look for it immediately."
The next day.
If nothing unexpected happens, Gu Yumian's contract will be recorded today. Gu Yumian continued to watch the live broadcast. Today, he was no longer just watching, but taking notes while watching to learn how other anchors dealt with various emergencies.
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
After logging out of StarNet, Gu Yumian stretched and went to the supermarket to buy some groceries. Takeout here was quite expensive, but thankfully the supermarket's prices were relatively reasonable. His guaranteed salary from StarNet hadn't arrived yet, and he only had less than two hundred StarCoins left, so he had to save money.
The supermarket was very close to Gu Yumian's residence, so there was no need to take a hovercraft. When he arrived at the supermarket, it suddenly started to rain heavily outside.
The supermarket was almost deserted. The only staff member was sitting in the food section, scrolling through his phone idly. The sound of Gu Yumian entering startled him. The young man looked up at Gu Yumian, his eyes suddenly becoming strange and confused.
Gu Yumian: “?”
"Hello," Gu Yumian said, "Um, I want to buy..."
The young man wiped his hands on his apron and reached out to shake hands with Gu Yumian: "Welcome."
Gu Yumian didn't know why a handshake was necessary even for buying groceries. He hesitated for a moment before reaching out to shake the young man's hand. The next second, the young man's hand transformed into a claw, resting on Gu Yumian's palm. Gu Yumian couldn't pull his hand away and shook the German Shepherd's fluffy forefoot.
The staff sighed: "Great."
Gu Yumian: "..."
"I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it." The staff member reacted immediately and apologized. He was also very surprised by his irrational behavior - and, he was facing a human being whom they always hated.
Gu Yumian waved his hand and said it was okay, and he still said apologetically: "What do you want to buy? I'll help you find it."
This young man was very talkative. Seeing that Gu Yumian knew nothing, he helped him select various ingredients and seasonings while explaining some basic knowledge to him.
Only then did Gu Yumian realize that the raw materials of food in the interstellar age had undergone tremendous innovation, which was natural.
Because animals now possess intelligence, including those originally used as livestock for food, it's impossible to slaughter them. Meat in the interstellar age is entirely synthetic, using highly mature technology. It's identical to traditional meat in every way, meeting a wide range of needs.
After finally buying groceries, Gu Yumian returned home.
The moment he opened the door, he had a subtle feeling.
The rain outside the window was noisy and the interior was quiet, but something seemed to be lurking in the dark.
Gu Yumian took a step back holding the umbrella, his back tensed, and suddenly——
A dark shadow leaped out from the corner, suddenly throwing Gu Yumian to the ground with immense force. The back of his head hit the damp, cold floor, and he subconsciously cried out in pain. The creature stepped on Gu Yumian's chest with one claw and pressed the other on his lips.
The lightning illuminated the sky brightly, and Gu Yumian saw everything clearly in the light:
Soft silver fur, fluffy pads, and narrowed gray-blue eyes looked down at him condescendingly.
It’s a... little snow leopard.
Gu Yumian: "..."
He thought there was a small bomb hidden in his house.
In a previous life, Gu Yumian had participated in a wild snow leopard rescue operation. The mother snow leopard was too seriously injured by poachers to be saved, leaving behind two cubs. Gu Yumian cared for them from two months old to two years old, and he had considerable experience in this area.
When a snow leopard is young, it is just a slightly larger cat.
"Baby, where's your mom?" Gu Yumian pinched the little snow leopard's neck and lifted it up, placing it on the sofa while turning on the desk lamp. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I mean no harm."
The little snow leopard's eyes narrowed into a line and stared at him coldly.
Gu Yumian didn't dare turn on the headlights for fear of scaring it.
Animals in the interstellar age all have high IQs. Gu Yumian thought that this might be a lost child from a family.
The little snow leopard suddenly leaped from the sofa onto the dining table, its claws protruding from its paw pads and rubbing against the wooden table, as if considering where to strike. Its body arched backward in an attacking stance, its gaze locked with the human.
The atmosphere is tense.
After a while, Gu Yumian raised his eyebrows slightly and stretched out his hand.
His hand landed on the snow leopard cub's chin, and he expertly scratched it, gently moving it to its cheeks and ears. According to his experience, this action was very soothing; most of his previous snow leopard cubs wouldn't last more than ten seconds before flipping over and exposing their bellies to his touch.
But the little snow leopard only stiffened and then softened for a moment. It quickly turned around and pawed him, then sat up and stared at him gloomily and angrily.
It's so small, just a little bigger than a kitten, but it has such a serious expression and looks decent and imposing.
Okay.
"Whose child is this?" Gu Yumian scratched his head, "There's no laptop either."
Having said that, he suddenly realized.
Yesterday, Gu Yumian reviewed the basic information about this era. The optical computer is the most important thing for all interstellar residents. It also serves as an identity verification tool. Babies are born with an optical computer, which appears on their bodies in the form of collars, watches, and accessories.
Unless it's a homeless child.
Gu Yumian poured a bowl of water for the little snow leopard. Seeing that it had no intention of running around, he quietly picked up his laptop and walked to the balcony to call the police.
It doesn't necessarily have to be a homeless child. What if the little snow leopard just accidentally lost the laptop? The parents would definitely be very worried.
"Mr. Police, the following is the situation. I live in Building 2 of Residential Area C. Today, a child of unknown origin appeared in my home."
"Excuse me, sir," the police officer said, seemingly overwhelmed by something, amidst the clamor in the background. "Please find its computer and contact the parents. We're very busy right now."
"But……"
"beep--"
The phone was hung up.
Gu Yumian was at his wit's end. He walked back to the living room and saw that the little snow leopard seemed to have gotten bored waiting and had fallen asleep curled up on the pillow on the dining table, having drunk most of the water he had poured out.
To make the little one more comfortable, Gu Yumian turned the air conditioner to 20 degrees Celsius and gently moved the snow leopard and the pillow onto the soft reclining chair. The pillow was something Gu Yumian had just bought on Star Network yesterday.
The little snow leopard sniffed Gu Yumian's fingers in his sleep, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly held his index finger with his two front paws.
Gu Yumian laughed dumbly: "You were tickling me just now, you little snob."
The little snow leopard didn't let go of his hand, and it took a long time for Gu Yumian to walk to the kitchen. He didn't see that right behind him, the little snow leopard closed his eyes in discomfort and displeasure, and finally found the pillow full of Gu Yumian's scent again, and fell into a deep sleep again.
No matter what, you can't let your child go hungry.
The snow leopard at this age has been weaned and can eat, so Gu Yumian decided to make dinner for it first.
"Speaking of which..."
A new message popped up on his computer. It was from the Starry Sky Live Streaming platform. It said his contract had been successfully entered and he could start live streaming today.
Gu Yumian thought, why not today?
He logged into the platform using his livestream account and created a livestream room. The built-in camera in the optical computer floated into the air and began to work. This ultra-micro camera was invisible to the naked eye.
He chose the default cover. As for the room name, Gu Yumian wasn't very good at it, so he racked his brains before finally coming up with 'Making Dinner for the Kids at Home.' In default cover mode, the camera randomly captured a real-time photo and uploaded it.
Everything was ready. Gu Yumian pressed "Create" and nervously began his first live broadcast in his life.
