Chapter 102 Less Energy



Xie Sen and Maine quickly disappeared from the sight of the students who were watching. The students who fell to the ground were confused: "What's wrong? What just happened?"

The students outside only felt a tightening around their waists, and then they were pulled to the side by a force, and then fell to the ground.

The students in the inner layer shouted, "Why are you pushing? Can't you stand steadily because of your lame leg?" They felt that they were almost squeezed into a flat surface, and then they were crushed by the students in the outer layer. "Hurry up and get up, your leg will break."

The vines moved so quickly that many people didn't see it. The student who reacted quickly hesitated and said, "I just seemed to see a green line."

"Are you dazzled?" someone asked.

Back at the apartment, Xie Sen frowned and sat on the sofa with his chin supported by his hand. Maine tapped his forehead and said, "Don't worry."

Xie Sen raised his eyes to look at him: "Tell me, if they are really Xie Sen's parents, how should we deal with them?"

Maine thought of the black-haired female's words, and a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, which he quickly covered up: "Whatever you like."

Xie Sen leaned back on the sofa and said, "No matter what, the Xie family has never concealed Xie Sen's identity for so many years. If they really wanted to find him, they wouldn't have found him now."

Maine: “I’ll take care of it.”

In the evening, when Xie Sen was watching the news, he was stunned. He was not surprised to see news about his "biological parents", but he did not expect that his "biological parents" would become four more couples.

The four couples all had black hair and black eyes. They all said that Xie Sen was their biological son. Their words were sincere and emotional, which was particularly touching.

It would be fine if there was only one pair, but if suddenly four pairs appeared, all these touching things became funny.

Some people were originally discussing whether what Xie Sen said at school was too cruel, but after seeing this situation, they immediately turned to ridicule.

"How hilarious. What a waste of my expression. These people are just trying to take advantage of the host because he's famous!"

"I said it couldn't be the anchor's parents. Something must have happened to the anchor's parents. Otherwise, how could they give up their child? The child is so precious!"

"Yes, if they are really the parents, then there is something wrong with that person. Even if the child was lost, they wouldn't have found him just now. The fact that the anchor is an adopted son has always been public!"

"It's really disgusting, a bunch of stinky bugs, do you think the anchor is young and easy to bully?"

"Speaking of which, the first couple were brought by the host's adoptive father's parents. They had made the host have nowhere to go before. He didn't want anything from his adoptive father and severed ties with the Xie family. They wouldn't be tempted to get benefits from the host now, right?"

"I think that's it. He is just ungrateful. If the anchor hadn't awakened, I don't know how I would live now!"

Maine put his arm around Xie Sen's shoulders and said, "They won't bother you again."

Xie Sen looked at him in surprise: "Did you arrange the other people?"

Maine nodded.

Xie Sen pointed at the screen: "Are you setting the pace?"

"No," Maine smiled, "Netizens are smart and don't need to be led by others."

Xie Sen gave a thumbs up: "This is good, it saves trouble." Anyone who wants to recognize their relatives in the future will be rejected. Thinking of the school, he said with disdain, "Father Xie is really annoying."

Maine put his arm around his shoulders and said, "I won't bother you again. If you do, I won't show mercy."

Seeing him say this, Xie Sen asked curiously, "What did you do?"

Maine: “Just publicizing some of the things they did.”

Xie Sen searched for the Xie family and indeed saw a hot post, "I have never seen such a shameless person." The post dug deep into many strange behaviors of Xie's father and Xie's dad, and the targets of the behaviors included their son and Xie Sen.

The specific time when Xie's father took back Xie Sen's residence and the distribution of his adoptive father's inheritance were clearly stated in the post.

"This is too shameless. Xie Sen was just discharged from the hospital, right?"

"Hey, I remember it clearly. Xie Sen was already working at Gold Medal around here."

"It's amazing that such a person could raise someone as good as Xie Sen's adoptive father. If Xie Sen wasn't strong, he would have been sleeping on the streets a long time ago, right?"

"Yes, if you ask me, the reason why Xie Sen awakened only after he became an adult must be that he was abused by them!"

"It's a shame. If we had evidence, we could have charged them."

In addition to Xie Sen, the post also revealed the affairs of Xie's father and neighbors. The two of them loved to take advantage of others. When Xie Sen's adoptive father was around, he often cleaned up their messes.

A neighbor saw this post and became excited. He scolded the two people and gave examples of small but disgusting things that happened in his daily life, making the onlookers hate them even more.

I don’t know if the neighbors were angry, but not long after, another neighbor said that when Xie Sen was a child, the two men were particularly mean to him, always beating and scolding him. Xie Sen’s adoptive father quarreled with them many times because of this, and later lived separately.

Xie Sen read through it all, and later on, netizens had dug up all the people related to the two people, and they all said that since they could chat with them, they must not be good people.

"I won't even look at this kind of person!"

"Remember their faces. If I accidentally talk to them, I can't relieve the nausea even if I rinse my mouth ten times."

"Xie Sen is so pitiful. If only there were surveillance cameras at that time, child abuse is illegal!"

Less than three hours after the post was published, it had already caused heated discussion and was reported on the news. Xie's father instantly became a black man in Star City and was truly hated by everyone.

Xie Sen thought back to his previous life's diary, which did indeed mention being beaten, but it was definitely not as exaggerated as in the post, such as "a slap from the door to the next door" and "a kick until vomiting blood", which were very exaggerated.

Xie Sen turned his head and nudged Maine with his elbow: "Are these neighbors related to you?"

Maine said: "Well, I sent a message to let them watch the fun, and also notified Xie's father and mother."

Xie Sen laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, they must be pissed to death."

Just as Xie Sen expected, Xie's father couldn't bear to read halfway through. Apart from the posts digging up their deeds, all other replies were scolding them. Reading the post completely really tested one's mental endurance.

What's more, people keep replying and I can't read them all in a short time.

"Who sent this? Damn it!" Dad Xie was so angry that his face turned red, his chest heaving violently, and he slapped the sofa heavily.

Xie's father's forehead was bulging with veins, and his face was grim: "Report it quickly, report it until the post is blocked!"

As the two were angrily reporting, two message alerts sounded at the same time, and the same message appeared on their respective bracelets: "According to reports from the public, the two of you have abused children, and the circumstances are serious. We are currently collecting evidence. The two of you should not leave Star City this week, and please cooperate with the investigation at any time."

"What are you investigating? If it weren't for my son, that bitch would have died long ago. What's wrong with me hitting her?" Father Xie shouted in a sharp voice.

"Shut up!" Xie's father yelled in a deep voice and slapped him in the face, "This is all your fault!"

Father Xie covered his face in shock, then pounced on him and scratched him randomly, crying: "Are you blaming me now? It was you who hated him first. It was you who said that all our pension money was used to support that brat. If you hadn't told me to make a scene and make my son throw him into an orphanage, would I have done it?"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, scratching Xie's father's face until it bled: "You blame me now, huh? You blame me?"

Father Xie felt pain on his face, grabbed his wrist and pushed him back: "Get lost, it was you who did it!"

The 'biological parents of Xie Sen' who were sitting opposite the two of them looked at each other, slowly moved to the door, and quickly slipped away. The male looked depressed: "What rubbish, I must be crazy to be persuaded by them, they are the only ones who want to make a lot of money?"

After walking a few steps, the female noticed that someone was pointing at them, and quickly took out a mask and put it on: "We can't stay on Brandt Star anymore, let's go."

"You two," they were stopped as soon as they arrived at the spaceport, "you have been reported by someone, and after investigation, there are problems with your identities. Please come back with us for investigation."

Before going to bed at night, Maine received a message and stroked Xie Sen's ear: "There is no blood relationship."

Xie Sen laughed: "I knew it."

Maine kissed him on the lips: "I checked the adoption records of you... Xie Sen's parents. Both of his parents should be gone."

All the children on the planet are precious, and unless something really happens, there are very few parents who would abandon their children.

Xie Sen half-lay on him, closed his eyes and rubbed his head against his shoulder: "Yeah, not surprising. Having you is enough for me, and there will be a baby in the future. We are a family."

Maine hugged him, his eyes full of warmth, and kissed him on the forehead: "Yeah."

When he got up the next day, Maine was no longer in the bedroom. Xie Sen got up and stretched, but was startled by Adam's sudden shout and almost twisted his waist.

Dan: "Asen, the energy is getting less! Less!"

Xie Sen immediately opened the energy panel. After yesterday's morning sickness, he thought that since he couldn't eat meat, his vegetable consumption would increase. He checked the energy value and subtracted the consumption of dinner. He still had 8352 energy left. Now, it was only 8351.

But now it's morning, and every day when Maine wakes up and sees him, he gives him 9 energy back, which means that he suddenly has 10 less energy!

"Why did it suddenly become less?" Xie Sen asked.

A Dan: "I don't know. If I wasn't awake, I might not have noticed it. I wanted to wait for you to wake up and say good morning to you, but I suddenly felt that my energy was reduced by 10. I checked and there were no new plants activated, and there was no exchange record today." It said to comfort him: "Don't worry, I'll go check now to see what's going on."

Xie Sen thought of its loud yell just now and wanted to laugh for some reason: "Well, I'm not in a hurry."

While he was brushing his teeth, Maine walked into the bathroom, hugged him from behind, and kissed him on the side of his neck: "Good morning."

Xie Sen narrowed his eyes and said vaguely, "Good morning." He glanced at Maine's energy value, 9/10, which means that Maine's 9 energy has been returned to him, so there is indeed 10 energy missing.

Breakfast is vegetable porridge with eggs, corn, and apple juice. Except for the eggs, the rest are all exchanged by the system. The colors are particularly beautiful, which makes people look very appetizing, and the taste is also very good.

Xie Sen likes to eat corn very much. The corn kernels are plump and golden, and taste fragrant and sweet. Each corn kernel is still moist and is especially delicious.

He ate two corn cobs in a row, threw the corn cobs into the trash can, and drank apple juice slowly. Maine reached out and wiped his lips with his fingers. Xie Sen subconsciously tilted his head and saw the yellow corn in Maine's hand.

He took a piece of paper and wiped his mouth roughly, then raised his chin slightly and tilted his face to Maine: "And..."

Seeing Maine lick the crushed corn on his fingers into his mouth, his "me" got stuck in his throat, his face slowly turned red, he coughed lightly, and said righteously: "Don't tease me during the day!"

A smile flashed in Maine's eyes, the corners of his lips curved slightly, his handsome face was perfect to 360 degrees without any dead angle: "What do you mean by flirting?"

Xie Sen glared at him: "Don't play dumb."

Maine chuckled, the sound shattered in the air and reached Xie Sen's ears, making his heart beat inexplicably. He knocked on the table: "Now, laugh if you want, hahaha, don't lower your voice like this."

Maine's smile deepened, and he laughed a few times as he said. Xie Sen held his forehead speechlessly and said, "Forget it. He's still handsome, but a little silly."

Maine: "Don't worry, I'll pay attention when someone is around. I know you're thin-skinned."

"Who said that? I'm not a girl!" Xie Sen snorted, "I'm just being conscious and creating a harmonious environment."

Maine laughed again, and couldn't help pinching his chin and kissing him. He lost control for a moment and broke into his mouth, ready to entangle with him for a moment, before he probed into Xie Sen's mouth. His face twisted for a moment, and his head retreated: "Hiss... Why is it so sour?"

Xie Sen laughed, hooked his neck and said, "Do you want to continue the deep kiss?"

Maine pinched his cheeks lightly: "Ah, open your mouth and let me see, it's so sour, can your teeth bear it?"

Xie Sen inexplicably wanted to laugh again, his eyes curved, and he opened his mouth to let him see, because this action made his voice very unclear: "My teeth are very healthy, haha, you make me feel like I'm seeing a dentist."

Maine made him close his mouth and frowned, "Have the plants gotten worse?"

Xie Sen kissed him on the corner of his lips and said, "No, when I exchanged the apples, I decided the sourness. When I exchanged them, I suddenly wanted to eat something very sour, so I chose the medium sour taste. I like it very much."

Maine: "It was pretty sweet a few days ago."

Xie Sen patted his belly: "Because the baby has grown a little bit!"

Maine held his hand helplessly: "Don't shoot like that." He touched his stomach, "Will it be uncomfortable if it's too sour?"

"No, don't worry," Xie Sen said with a smile, "If I feel uncomfortable, I will definitely tell you. I am not the kind of person who is afraid of seeing a doctor. I believe that the sooner you treat it, the better."

After breakfast, Xie Sen took a walk outside the apartment door. The contracted beasts were jogging in the morning. When they ran near him, they greeted him and deliberately slowed down.

Xie Sen smiled and waved, telling them to go to the accommodation area later.

Just as he put his hand down, he heard Adam say, "I found the reason!"

Xie Sen paused, leaned against the fence, and looked at the contracted beasts: "What's going on?"

A Dan: "I feel energy in your abdomen. I guess it's the baby absorbing it. The last time I used plant energy to sense the location of water energy, I felt a slight pulling force. Now it seems that it was the baby who was absorbing the energy at that time. The energy formed a pulling force between me and the baby."

Xie Sen sorted out his thoughts and put his hand on his abdomen: "You mean, the baby can absorb the system plant energy and gratitude energy obtained by activating plants?"

"Well, actually, the two are similar. System plant energy is also grateful for energy conversion."

Xie Sen was puzzled: "Then why did it suddenly absorb the energy of gratitude?"

A Dan explained: "Because no plants have been activated recently. Every time a new plant is activated, in addition to the energy added to the system, there will be overflow energy, which can be used and absorbed. Without plant activation, there is no system plant energy to absorb, so we can only absorb gratitude energy."

Xie Sen lowered his head and looked at his stomach: "Will it be bad for his health?"

"Of course not!" A Dan said proudly, "The baby will definitely be healthy. He must have found that these are good things, so he absorbed them on his own."

Xie Sen: "Doesn't that mean he has to absorb 10 energies every day? Or activate new plants for him to absorb plant energy?"

A Dan pondered, "Well, now it's 10 energy, maybe it will be more when it grows up. Don't activate new plants. When you activate new plants, most of the gratitude energy will be transformed into system energy. The energy that a plant can absorb is limited, so it's better to absorb the gratitude energy directly."

Xie Sen calculated the remaining energy and the energy Maine gave back every day, and began to worry: "In this case, the energy is not enough." Xie Sen patted his belly: "I eat so well every day, even if the baby doesn't absorb energy, it will be very healthy!"

A Dan: "...Asen, people say that pregnancy makes people stupid for three years, you are not the same, right? The baby absorbs energy autonomously, and will stop absorbing energy only when there is no energy."

Xie Sen curled his lips: "Who told you that? I'm very smart. Aren't you a system? Can't you just seal the energy and let me exchange for plants?"

A Dan's baby voice was filled with anger: "Asen, you still can't accept the baby? Are you going to abuse him?"

Xie Sen: ...

He said confidently, "I like him and look forward to him. I'm just worried that he won't have enough energy. After all, vegetables and fruits are necessities. It's not necessary for him to absorb energy. Other babies can grow well without absorbing energy."

A Dan: "I can sense his affinity for plants. He is probably a plant-type beast master like you. He has a need for energy. If he absorbs more in your stomach, he might be able to awaken sooner in the future."

Xie Sen suddenly thought of Gu Luo's words. The reason why the plant-type beast masters disappeared had a lot to do with the disappearance of plants. They did not have enough plant nutrition intake.

Thinking of the suffering his predecessor had to endure because he awakened too late, Xie Sen immediately said, "Well, if he likes it, let him absorb it, as long as it doesn't affect his body."

A Dan said, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him. Asen, keep collecting energy! You can never stop collecting energy, it's very useful!"

Xie Sen felt the same way: "Well, I will try my best."

He turned back to his apartment, ready to start his plan to earn energy from delicious food. Maine, who was leaning against the door, asked, "What happened just now?"

Xie Sen estimated that he communicated with Adam for a while. He stood there motionless, and Maine probably watched the whole process.

He went over and grabbed Maine's hand. The two returned to the living room and he explained the situation: "Energy is indeed very useful. I plan to collect more energy before my movements are affected."

He went on to talk about his food plan: "Let's still make boiled fish. Chili peppers are already available. But in order to make it taste good, ginger, garlic and other condiments must also be used. Tie them up with gauze and put them in the soup base so that no one can see them."

Maine was a little worried: "Will you be unable to stand the smell of fish?"

Xie Sen said, "It's okay. Didn't I cook fish last night? I'm not afraid of the smell. I just don't have to eat it. And maybe I can eat it even though I have a strong taste."

Last night, in order to verify whether he could eat fish, he asked Maine to make a portion, but it was not spicy enough. Just like the meat, he had no reaction to the smell. After all, the side dishes were exchanged by the system and had a strong aroma, but he would feel nauseous when eating.

Maine was relieved when he heard this: "What are the requirements for the venue? I'll choose the location."

Xie Sen thought for a moment and said, "In crowded places, we still need security to maintain order."

Maine nodded: "I'll arrange it. When will it start?"

"As soon as possible, collect as much energy as possible while the moon is small." Xie Sen hugged him: "That's great, it's really worry-free to have you around."

Maine held his face and kissed him, rubbing his smooth skin with her fingers: "You are the one who is really worry-free. You provide all the food. I can't help with the food."

"Who said you can't help?" Xie Sen tilted his head and rubbed his fingers. "I cook publicly just for food. You arrange most of the work. What's more, you've been cooking since I got pregnant."

Maine looked at him intently: "I want to do more for you."

Xie Sen hugged him tightly: "It's already a lot, you are really super good! You don't even know how good you are!"

Maine worked very quickly and booked the venue in the afternoon. He showed Xie Sen the picture of the venue and explained: "The address is in Xingcheng Mall. This is the largest mall in Xingcheng and has a large flow of people. The location I reserved is a booth."

Xie Sen looked at the screen. The open-air exhibition stand was a bit like a classroom structure. The front was slightly higher, there was a large wall at the back, and the rest of the ground was slightly lower. It covered a large area.

Maine pointed to the empty space and said, "I have agreed with them that there will be a queue railing here, one person wide, repeating in a circle, so that people can line up neatly, all in this area, and smell the fragrance."

Xie Sen immediately recalled the scene of queuing at the amusement park in the past, and praised: "This is a good idea." He thought for a while, "But this is not suitable for drawing lots. If the audience inside draws, it will be inconvenient for too many people to come out."

He nodded his chin. "I'm going to make an announcement in the live broadcast room right now. Tasting is a benefit for fans. Tomorrow, you will taste the peppers in the order you line up, from the front to the back. If you can't eat them, just smell the fragrance. On the day the peppers are released, when the fragrance is released, there will also be energy feedback. Although it won't be as good as the people tasting the peppers, if there are more people, the harvest will not be bad."

Maine rubbed the top of his head and said, "Okay, I'll have someone fillet the fish in advance. Give me the ginger and garlic, and I'll take care of it now."

Xie Sen went to the kitchen with him, and Maine divided ginger, garlic and some spices into portions and wrapped them in gauze.

Xie Sen exchanged for a super spicy pepper and let it explode in the seasoning jar. In fact, anyone can prepare the seasoning, but Xie Sen had to do it himself for energy.

After the preparations were done, Xie Sen posted an announcement in the live broadcast room: "Fan benefits! Tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, at the booth near 108 on the A1 floor of Xingcheng Plaza, we will make boiled fish on the spot and offer free tastings. PS: You need to queue up and try the food in order until it's all gone. Guardians who have time, don't miss it."

The live broadcast room has stopped broadcasting during the day for several days in a row. Fans also know that the monsters need to receive treatment recently and the situation is special, so they don’t have any objections and just watch it at night.

Although the show does not air during the day, loyal fans have set up reminders for the live broadcast and announcements. After all, the host has a history of suddenly starting broadcasts and making sudden announcements.

Especially since it’s already the end of the month, they are all looking forward to the contracted beast meeting in early August!

When the notification sounded, fans were already ready to swipe their iPhones and grab tickets for the fan meeting. But when they looked, they realized it had nothing to do with the fan meeting. Then they looked again and were shocked!

Many fans jumped up and said: "This is definitely the best fan benefit I have ever seen in my life!"

"Anchor, I have read the announcement. I kneel down and beg you to withdraw it!"

"Yes, yes, withdraw the notice immediately!"

"I'll go prepare the floor mat right away!"

"I just want to ask, if I leave from home now, will I still have time to queue up?"
