It was already noon when I got home.
Shi Xiaoxing hurriedly stuffed half a bag of dry food left over from the morning and took it as lunch.
She lives in a small studio in an apartment building with a living room and a bedroom. There is no separate bathroom, kitchen or balcony. The only thing is that the window in the living room is big enough and the light is good.
Shi Xiaoxing lives and eats in the small bedroom, and she has simply transformed the living room into a small indoor garden for growing fruits, vegetables and green plants.
In fact, when Shi Xiaoxing first arrived at Sin Star, her savings were enough for her to rent a single-family house with an outdoor courtyard in the inner city.
At that time, she did rent such a small villa, and she converted the yard downstairs and the balcony upstairs into a small vegetable garden and a sky garden respectively.
But over the years, her career has been going downhill. Not only did she not make any money, but her savings were also quickly gone.
At first, Shi Xiaoxing could buy some high-quality seeds soaked in nutrient solution in the inner city, but now she has to bargain with the boss even when buying the lowest quality seeds, and even has to share the order with others for the free benefits.
As for the reason, it is very simple, because she suffers from Alpha Syndrome. Her disease is very special, called supernormal ability disorder.
To put it simply, the superpowers will weaken little by little until they finally become an ordinary person without superpowers.
Shi Xiaoxing did not give up. Even if she didn't have plant-related abilities, so what? It was just that she didn't have abilities. It wasn't like all the plants in the world would become extinct. Her love for farming would not disappear just because of the disappearance of her abilities.
However, the reality is that the soil quality of Sin Star is too poor. Without plant-related abilities, it is almost impossible to grow anything on Sin Star.
At the beginning, Shi Xiaoxing's supernatural power had not completely dissipated. Relying on that little bit of supernatural power, she could still grow some things, and she made a name for herself in Zuixing Live and became a fairly famous anchor.
But just half a year ago, she could no longer feel the fluctuations of supernatural powers in her body.
Since then, her live broadcast room has been filled with ridicule and abuse, and her popularity has rapidly dropped. More than half of the people who stay in her live broadcast room every day are there to laugh at her.
Shi Xiaoxing knew that there were definitely some people from the Shi family among those people who were leading the charge, but she couldn't slap them in the face with her strength now.
The Shi family is one of the ancient families in the empire, specializing in botany and planting. There are many plant-related mutants and botanical experts in the family.
Shi Xiaoxing is the eldest daughter of the Shi family of this generation. Her parents have placed high hopes on her since she was a child. However, during the period when the average awakening age is between three and eight years old, she has not yet awakened.
The expectations and love her parents placed on her were therefore transferred to her younger brother, who was only two years younger than her and awakened his plant-related abilities at the age of eight.
Shi Xiaoxing became the neglected one. Her parents ignored her, and the words of her relatives and elders were full of disappointment in her.
Even other people of the same generation were used to currying favor with her younger brother by belittling and bullying her, simply because her younger brother Shi Youchen didn't like her, and Shi Youchen had been tacitly regarded as the next person in charge of the Shi family.
Xiaoxing has gotten used to these things.
Until she was sixteen years old, she suddenly awakened her plant-related supernatural talent.
This is how the world is. It gives you a little light of hope when you get used to the darkness, but quickly takes it back before you can grasp that light.
Less than half a month after she awakened her superpowers, Shi Xiaoxing was diagnosed with Alpha. Her newly awakened superpowers began to slowly weaken and dissipate, and at that time she didn't even have time to go to the Imperial Superpower Bureau to register her superpowers.
It only took a dozen days from hope to despair.
Shi Xiaoxing drank a glass of water. The dry food he had just eaten expanded in his stomach and quickly satisfied his unbearable hunger.
The afternoon task is to sow the newly purchased seeds.
The not-so-big living room was filled with earthen pots of all sizes, almost all of which were empty. Only in a small pot near the bedroom door, there grew a withered and blackened tomato vine that could hardly be called alive.
That was a batch of tomatoes she had planted half a year ago. Now there was only this one plant left, half-dead and hanging on to its last breath.
Shi Xiaoxing watered the tomato vines and began to sow the seeds carefully and little by little.
The virtual camera was hanging beside her, and her pretty profile was reflected in the live broadcast room. The girl's movements were skillful and gentle. Even if the side of her face was accidentally stained with mud, it did not make people feel dirty at all. Instead, it revealed a sense of tranquility and peace.
However, the comments in the live broadcast room were still chaotic and eye-catching.
Shi Xiaoxing had long learned not to read the barrage of comments. She quietly did her own thing until it got dark outside and her stomach made loud protests. Only then did she finally complete today's sowing task.
There was a small flowerpot left in the corner of the living room, with nothing planted in it. Shi Xiaoxing took out the daisy seeds from his pocket and buried them in the small flowerpot.
The movements were so gentle that it felt like caressing the face of a loved one.
After watering the daisy seeds, Shi Xiaoxing's terminal suddenly beeped.
Shi Xiaoxing turned sideways to block the virtual camera, opened the terminal and took a look, his expression suddenly froze.
There was an internal text message lying in the backstage of her Sin Star, from Chang Feng, her agent during the three years she was a host. The title of the message was four big bold words: [Notice of Termination of Contract].
Shi Xiaoxing opened the text message and stood there in a daze for a long time.
Yes, she has been on Zuixing for three years. The contract she signed with Changfeng was for three years. Now that the contract has expired, it seems natural to terminate the contract.
Three years ago, Chang Feng was still a new agent. It was after Shi Xiaoxing became famous through farming that Chang Feng's career was boosted, making him the current veteran agent.
Shi Xiaoxing still remembers that Changfeng once said that she was his lucky star and he would never terminate the contract with her even if it expired.
Now that times have changed, the promise made back then has become a joke.
Shi Xiaoxing lowered his eyes, signed the electronic termination form without hesitation, and sent it back to Changfeng.
So be it, she thought.
After all, there is a gap between reality and dreams. All these years of willfulness must come to an end. She should wake up from her dream and return to reality.
Shi Xiaoxing closed the bedroom door and buried his face deeply in the pillow. His body wrapped in the quilt was trembling slightly.
The virtual camera that was forgotten outside the bedroom was still hanging in the air in the living room, diligently photographing the earthen pots of all sizes.
As night fell, the virtual camera seemed to sense something and aimed at the smallest flower pot.
【Why is the camera not moving?】
[Huh? Is there something in the soil of the small flower pot? [Rubbing eyes gif]]
[It seems to be green...]
[Some garbage may have floated in, don't make a fuss]
[First exclude the germination option [dog head jpg]]
…
[Wait! Holy shit!! It seems to have really sprouted!!!]
Lin Anan pulled Feng Wu and Xiong Yingjun to hurry up and work. The wolf, the bear and the cub frantically struggled in the yard for an entire afternoon and finally buried all the newly bought seeds in the soil before dark.
After a whole day of hard work, Lin Anan finally recovered some of her supernatural powers, and she had almost used them up.
The little cub lay limply on the wolf's back, holding a small rabbit-shaped biscuit in its little tentacles, slowly replenishing its energy.
The comments in the live broadcast room swished by, and at first glance, they were all attracting attention, and it seemed like a peaceful and tranquil life.
After eating the biscuits, Lin Anan waved his tentacles goodbye to the virtual camera, ending the whole day's live broadcast.
After the live broadcast room was closed, Lin Anan suddenly noticed that a small red light was flashing in the background of his Sin Star, and someone sent him an in-site message.
During the live broadcast, Lin Anan's terminal remained silent, so she was unable to detect the text message immediately.
The moment I saw the title, I rubbed my eyes subconsciously——
【Signing invitation.】
Xiong Yingjun, who had transformed back into human form, curiously poked his head out and said in a somewhat strange voice: "Didn't I reject your application before? Why are you actively inviting me to sign a contract today?"
Lin Anan clicked on the message and read: [It’s not the same agent. The one who rejected me yesterday was ‘Chang Feng’, and today it’s an agent named ‘Ying You You’. ]
Xiong Yingjun didn't quite understand: "What impact does this have?"
Feng Wu searched the discussion area and said, "Chang Feng is an old agent, and Ying Youyou is a new agent. They have different qualifications and different resources from the ranking units. The old agent's resources must be better."
Xiong Yingjun said, "Then don't sign that thing. The resources are not good and there is no future if you sign it."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Anan quickly signed her name on the contract.
The little cub blinked innocently: "Bingji!"
Never mind, just sign it first!
