Xie Sen heard Maine's hum and moved closer curiously, just in time to see the next message sent by Huo Feng. Huo Feng: "Don't be nervous, I'm not interested in your man, I just want to ask him about the giant wolf beast."
Xie Sen remembered the name Huo Feng, the boss of the robot manufacturing company that Maine was working with. When Huo Feng mentioned the giant wolf beast, he asked Maine, "Is he the 'Feng' in the live broadcast room?"
Maine nodded: "Yes, he is the master of the giant wolf beast."
Xie Sen thought, no wonder: "He gave a lot of gifts in the live broadcast room, and I even asked him to customize an alloy ball."
"I saw it," Maine said. "I watched the live broadcast."
Xie Sen was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Maine would still be watching the live broadcast when he went to deal with Rui Luo. Maine's fingers slid from the side of his face to the side of his neck, and he looked at him intently: "I want to watch you all the time."
Xie Sen's heart moved, and he couldn't help laughing. Maine's cheesy love words became more and more natural. He raised his hand and grabbed Maine's hand, pinching his knuckles and playing with them.
He thought for a moment and asked, "How is he? If he's good, I can help him ask the giant wolf beast what he thinks."
He had asked the contracted beasts about the issue of forming a contract before. The main reason they did not form a contract was that they could not find a suitable beast master, not that they were truly opposed to it.
Maine said: "Reliable."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "Then I'll help ask tomorrow."
Maine sent Huo Feng a message: "Wait for reply."
The two chatted for a while and continued to watch the news. A lot of negative information about Rui Luo was exposed online. Even though he was a victim, he did not arouse sympathy from passers-by. Some people even replied anonymously that it was a relief.
"All the major families should take a good look at the consequences of spoiling a child. Raising a child to spoil not only harms others but also yourself."
"Yeah, commoners are fine, they can't make any waves, but wealthy second-generation rich people are really scary, they are simply a disaster."
Xie Sen quickly flipped through the comments and looked at the rest of the news. He didn't see anyone specifically pointing out Maine's suspicion, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He pinched Maine's fingers and said with some concern: "Although the Internet says so, Rui Luo is a member of the Kes family after all. All suspects will definitely be investigated. Have you thought about what to say?"
Maine held his hand with his backhand: "Don't worry, I'm prepared."
His tone was very affirmative. Xie Sen looked at him and did not continue asking. He changed the topic to the live broadcast room: "Can the live broadcast room design titles and avatars?"
"Sure, I will also complete some of the functions. We were pressed for time and some of them are not finished yet."
Xie Sen looked at him in surprise: "Didn't you plan to open a live broadcast website before?"
Maine nodded. If Xie Sen’s live broadcast room had not been suddenly blocked, he really would not have had such thoughts.
Xie Sen couldn't help but admire: "You are really amazing."
Maine chuckled. He liked Xie Sen praising him. He reached out and embraced Xie Sen. Xie Sen subconsciously wanted to hide, but was worried about touching his wound, so he let him embrace him and just reminded him, "Don't use force. Be careful not to tear the wound."
"It's okay, just a minor injury." Maine didn't care.
When they both washed up and lay in bed at night, when Maine wanted to do something, Xie Sen firmly refused. Maine became particularly concerned about the injuries on his body.
The next morning, Maine sent Xie Sen to work at the Gold Medal, and did not return to the apartment until Xie Sen disappeared from sight. As soon as he walked out of the parking lot, two men in police uniforms stopped him.
"Maine, right? We are investigating the murder of Rui Luo. You are a major suspect. Please come with us."
Maine was very obedient and followed them back to the police station. He sat in an interrogation room opposite two policemen.
"Where were you yesterday afternoon?"
Maine said: "Gold medal, and then went to the forest to hunt."
"So you were also in the forest when Rui Luo was killed?"
"I didn't know he was in the forest, I didn't see him, I go hunting in the forest almost every day," he paused and added, "to earn a living."
The two police officers who were interrogating him looked at each other and said, "We suspect that because the difference in treatment between the two of you was too great, and because Lieutenant General Meier only had two sons, you developed a murderous intention towards him and wanted to replace him."
Maine shook his head: "No, I have never thought about it. I don't want to have anything to do with the Kes family. I have no motive to kill him."
The police officer said, "The Kes family is the best motive. Without Rui Luo, you might be recognized as the Kes family."
"No need." Maine looked at the other person without dodging his gaze. "I want to go back to Kes's house, and Ruiluo will not be an obstacle."
"Are you so confident? As far as I know, you had a conflict with Rui Luo at Rui Luo's birthday party, and then you were expelled from the Kes family. Obviously, he is much more valued than you."
Maine said: "I don't want to be taken seriously. I've been used to living outside since I was a child. I don't want to have any contact with the Kes family."
"How dare you say that? Even if you wanted to, the Kes family might not value you. I doubt you are saying that to clear yourself of suspicion. You have to know that your words are not credible at all."
Maine looked at him, raised his hand, and slowly unbuttoned his shirt. An officer immediately shouted, "What are you doing?"
Maine said calmly: "Increase credibility." He unbuttoned three and then stopped, revealing the fair skin on his chest.
After a while, the two police officers opened their eyes wide at the same time and looked at the beast pattern on his chest in disbelief: "Aren't you the owner of the giant lion beast?"
Maine buttoned up his shirt: "Second awakening."
The police officers looked at each other in surprise. It turned out to be the second awakening! The legendary beast master favored by the beast god!
Maine said: "You should know what the Flying Lion Beast Master means to the Kes family. If I want to be taken seriously, I don't have to attack Rui Luo at all. I can just reveal my identity directly."
He sneered as he spoke: "If I really hated him, I wouldn't kill him. Going back to the Kes' house and letting him see me being valued would be torture for him."
This is indeed the best way to deal with Rui Luo, to make Rui Luo live in jealousy every day and torment him slowly.
But Rui Luo was not worthy of him, not worthy of him having to deal with the Kes family for Rui Luo. He hated the Kes family.
The two police officers were silent. They had to admit that what Main said made sense. His words completely dispelled his motive for murder.
The importance of the Flying Lion Beast Master to the Kes family is self-evident. In fact, all S-level beast masters are born to be valued in the family.
Although Main had no motive for killing Rui Luo, the two officers carefully questioned him about the time he entered and exited the forest, the amount of hunting animals he sold, and the people he came into contact with during that time.
"We will investigate further, and if there are any doubts, we will contact you again at any time."
Maine said, "I will cooperate with your work." He paused, "Can I ask you to keep it a secret for me?"
His attitude impressed the two police officers. After listening to his request and thinking about his experience, they couldn't help but feel some sympathy: "We will try our best to keep it confidential, but we may not be able to hide it."
"Thank you." Maine thanked them and left the police station.
After he left, a police officer shrugged and said, "See, this is the result of a romantic life! I'll have someone check if what he said is true. If it is true, considering the amount of time he spent in the forest and the amount of game he sold, he simply doesn't have time to do anything else."
"When I saw his animal pattern, I felt that he was not a suspect."
"Whether there is a suspicion or not, the investigation must be cautious and see who the next suspect is and continue."
When Xie Sen clocked in for work, Sun Mao had already been waiting for him at the clock-in counter. When he saw him, he immediately walked over with shining eyes and put his arm around his shoulders: "I watched your live broadcast, it was amazing!"
Xie Sen smiled and said, "The contracted beasts are indeed very popular."
"Well, I have several friends who want to come and see them, is that okay?" Sun Mao looked at him expectantly.
"Want to make a pact?"
"Well, high-level contracted beasts are too rare. They dream of forming a contract with them. Especially after watching the live broadcast, they have a better impression of contracted beasts. Knowing that you are in the gold medal, they asked me for help."
Xie Sen thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure that the people are reliable? If someone tries to do something and angers them, I can't be sure of their safety."
"They are reliable. If they were not reliable, I would not have brought them up. There are only three people I am close to. One of them is over 40 years old and he has been looking for a contracted beast for a long time." Sun Mao said.
Xie Sen asked: "What beast master?"
"Giant rhinoceros."
Xie Sen thought of the flying rhinoceros of the Yanqi family and wondered, "Are there very few rhinoceros beasts?"
"All A-level and S-level contracted beasts are rare, but there are actually quite a few A-level beast owners, so many people are particularly excited when they see high-level contracted beasts. Before this batch of contracted beasts came, I had seen less than ten A-level contracted beasts in total."
Sun Mao sighed as he spoke: "A-level beast masters are in an awkward situation now. Although they have a good foundation, they don't have a contracted beast to form a bond with, so their strength is not as good as that of a B-level beast master who has a contract. There are many more B-level contracted beasts than A-level ones."
Xie Sen suddenly realized, no wonder the live broadcast room is so popular.
"I'll go check on their condition at noon. If they're in good condition, I'll make some arrangements." Xie Sen said.
When it was almost lunchtime, Xie Sen went to the fourth and fifth coalition areas and asked the contracted beasts for their opinions: "Do you want to meet the beast masters and try to form a contract?"
"I want to see him." Xie Sen looked at the giant wolf beast in surprise. He didn't expect it to be the first to express its opinion. The giant wolf beast's voice continued to ring in his mind, "My tribe is used to living in groups. When our mental state improves in the future, we will separate. I don't want to be alone. I want to try to find a partner."
"I want to try it, too," said the giant tiger beast. "The forest is boring. If there is a suitable beast master, I will choose to form a contract. If not, can I continue to stay here? I also want to go into the forest to play occasionally."
Xie Sen said: "It doesn't have to be here, but if you want to stay, we can arrange a place for you."
Giant Tiger Beast: "That's great! I'll try and see if we can form a bond. It depends on the ability of the beast master."
Spotted Giant Leopard Beast: "I don't want to form a bond. I want to be with my brother."
Black Giant Leopardmon: "No knot, I will go back to the forest when my mental state improves. There are no trees here and I want to climb a tree. We will come back to see you."
Giant rhinoceros: "I'm fine with it."
Giant Lionmon: "We'll make a pact if it's suitable. I've heard many glorious stories of our ancestors fighting bloody battles with their human companions. Now that there's no war, it's not bad to do something else."
Two giant elephant beasts: "We will form a contract if there is grass to eat and we are strong enough."
Xie Sen wrote them down one by one. Except for the two giant leopard beasts, the rest of the contracted beasts basically took a casual attitude.
"Then I'll arrange for someone to come take a look. If the synchronization rate is less than 50 percent, there's no need to try."
As we were talking, the cushions and bathtub we ordered yesterday arrived.
The cushion is five meters long and wide, and five centimeters thick. It will feel like it is sinking when you press down on it, and is extremely comfortable. As soon as the staff laid it out, Little Spot immediately jumped on it and lay down, then rolled from side to side.
The staff was startled and took several steps back, only to be relieved when they saw that it had no intention of attacking.
The black giant leopard beast and giant tiger beast had glowing eyes and rubbed against it one after another, then began to push and squeeze each other, all trying to occupy the soft cushion, and soon the giant lion beast also joined them.
Xie Sen thought about it, discussed it with the giant rhinoceros, and started the live broadcast.
Viewers who had set the broadcast as a special reminder saw several big cats fighting for the cushion as soon as they opened the live broadcast. They were pushing and shoving each other and making all kinds of small movements, but they did not really fight.
"Wow! It's suddenly on air. I'm so happy!"
"Host, you are so stingy. Buy some more cushions. They are all so thin!"
Xie Sen glanced at the barrage casually, smiled, and walked to the big bathtub.
The staff, followed by two giant elephants, installed the bathtub with trepidation. Seeing Xie Sen coming over, they breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the connecting pipe you want. Connect it to the faucet and you can directly fill it with water."
Xie Sen thanked them, sent the staff away, connected the connecting pipes, and started filling the bathtub.
It was called a bathtub, but it was five meters long, five meters wide, and two meters high, which was equivalent to a small swimming pool. Xie Sen stood beside the bathtub with a depressed look on his face. Even if he tiptoed, he couldn't see clearly how much water was in it.
He gave up and touched the giant elephant beast's thigh: "How much water is there? Remind me if it's almost full."
After he finished speaking, the giant elephant beast's trunk dropped and then wrapped around his waist: "I can lift you up." As the giant elephant beast spoke, Xie Sen's body suddenly rose.
He was startled and quickly held onto the trunk of the giant elephant beast. Another giant elephant beast stretched out its trunk to support him and let him sit on it: "Don't be afraid, you won't fall."
Xie Sen sat steadily, the trunk wrapped around his waist like a solid backrest. He immediately felt relieved and looked at the bathtub. The water in it was less than one-fifth full.
“Ahhh…the anchor is so happy!”
"I want to be lifted up high, too!"
"Host, please develop an amusement project and let them play with us!" There were a lot of envious voices in the barrage.
The giant wolf beast looked at the cushion, then at the bathtub, and finally ran to Xie Sen's side, lowered his head to look into the bathtub, and stretched out his claws to probe inside. The water level rose soon, and its claws were wet. It quickly retracted its claws and lowered its head to drink a few sips of water.
Xie Sen patted his trunk and said, "I'll go turn off the faucet."
The giant elephant beast put him down and he ran towards the faucet. The giant wolf beast turned its head to look at him and followed him. After a while, it surpassed him and swept his body with its big fluffy tail.
Xie Sen wiped his face and grabbed its tail. It stopped, turned its head and called softly to Xie Sen.
The fur on its tail was white and fluffy, and looked particularly beautiful. Xie Sen couldn't help but touch it several times. A bunch of envious screams appeared on the barrage: "Let it go, let me come!"
"Does the water flow from over there?" The giant wolf raised its paw and pointed at the faucet.
Xie Sen nodded and walked over with the giant wolf beast. He turned off the faucet, removed the connecting pipe, and explained to the giant wolf beast the uses of the faucet and the connecting pipe.
After putting away the connecting tube, he patted the giant wolf beast's front legs and said, "Go back and play with them. I'll buy a few more cushions. They seem to like them very much."
"I want a big bone-shaped toy to grind my teeth." The giant wolf beast blinked its beautiful green eyes and looked at him, "Is it okay?"
Xie Sen said: "Okay, I'll see if there are any products made of materials with good toughness." As he spoke, he walked towards the big cats that were fighting.
The giant wolf turned its head to look at him, then turned its head to look at the faucet, raised its paw, and the next moment, extended a sharp and thin claw and touched it lightly.
Water suddenly flowed out from the faucet, splashing on the ground, instantly wetting the front half of the giant wolf's fur.
It screamed in panic and quickly took a step back. Xie Sen heard the noise and turned around to see that the fur on the beautiful giant wolf's head, neck and front legs was wet and drooping, making it look in a miserable state.
He ran over and turned off the faucet. The giant wolf beast growled at him, lowered its head, and drooped its tail, looking pitiful.
"So cute! Please don't be mean to it! It's just a little curious."
"That's right, don't be mean to it!"
Gift announcement: "'Feng' gave the anchor a watermelon rain." The gift special effect barrage was followed by the words, "Don't be mean to it!"
The special effects barrage was announced along with the gift. Xie Sen's mouth twitched when he heard it. How could he look like a ferocious giant wolf beast?
He patted the giant wolf beast's front legs and consoled it, "It's okay, it just wasted a little water."
"It's so ugly." The giant wolf beast said dejectedly, "Am I ugly like this?"
Xie Sen: “…” Are all furry animals obsessed with looks?
"It's not bad, just dry it in the sun."
The giant wolf beast still lowered its head. Xie Sen thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll help you blow it."
He took a hair dryer specially used for the bathing area and soon helped the giant wolf beast to dry its white fur. The giant wolf beast finally raised its head and rubbed against Xie Sen affectionately.
“It’s so cute!”
"I can use a hair dryer too, let me do it! Rub me!"
After rubbing his face, the giant wolf beast ran towards the bathtub. Before he ran in, he saw two giant elephant beasts playing in the water. He quickly ran away for fear of being splashed by the water.
The little spots seemed to like it very much, climbing up from the cushion and scampering around the giant elephant beast, which had already been lying next to them, enjoying the feeling of being caught in the rain.
Xie Sen looked at the time. It was time for dinner. He said goodbye to his contracted beasts and asked for their opinions on not shutting down the live broadcast for the time being. After all, people kept sending gifts.
He was about to leave when a giant black leopard beast lay on the cushion and wrapped its tail around his calf. He paused and turned to look at it: "What's wrong?"
"Collect money!" said the black giant leopard beast, "People who come to see us are like fans meeting, we have to charge tickets! Buy cushions! One is not enough."
Xie Sen laughed. This guy is just a money-grubber. The giant rhinoceros responded, "Yes, I will charge you. It would be better if the bathtub is installed on the ground so that I can lie down in it. I also need to buy other things, which will cost a lot of money."
Xie Sen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can just charge admission to my friends. If I charge admission to the live studio, there will be too many people coming. Let's try another method."
He said to the audience, "To thank the audience for their support, a fan meeting will be held this Saturday, the 9th. By midnight on the 9th, the top eight fans on the fan list will automatically receive tickets. In addition, there will be two draws to select two audience members, a total of ten. The fan meeting will be broadcast live."
Suddenly, the gift announcements kept ringing, and Xie Sen inexplicably felt like he was a scammer.
He left Area 4 and 5, bought three more cushions for lunch, and switched to the live broadcast interface. The contracted beasts were eating, so he turned off the live broadcast and took a nap.
On the other hand, after investigating Maine, the police determined that he was not lying, ruled him out as a suspect, and informed Meier of the result.
Meier glanced at Soria, who was constantly clamoring to investigate Maine, and said, "According to the police, the suspicion has been eliminated."
"How is this possible!" Soria yelled, "They are all rubbish. He is obviously the murderer. How can he be ruled out?" He grabbed Meier's arm and said, "Let me talk to them!"
Meier pulled his hand away and said in a deep voice, "For the last time." He dialed the number.
As soon as the call was connected, Soria immediately questioned: "Why can Maine be ruled out as a suspect? He is the murderer!"
"We investigated his schedule that day and it was consistent with what he said. He did not have enough time to commit the crime, and... he had no motive."
"How could he not have a motive? He hates us, he's a bastard, he's jealous of Rui Luo! He's a devil with a dark heart!"
The police officer said, "Killing Rui Luo would not do him any good, and jealousy is just speculation. What's more, if he is really jealous, there are other ways. There is no need to commit a crime."
Soria screamed, "Waste! Why are you defending him? He is the murderer!"
Meier glared at Soria in a warning tone and said to the officer, "I'm sorry, Rui Luo's death has hit him hard, and he's not in a good mental state... What do you mean by other methods?"
The police officer hesitated for a moment, and Meier said seriously: "I want to know all the reasons why he is not a suspect."
"He is the master of the flying lion beast."
Meier clenched his fingers into a fist. "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. If he wanted to gain the attention of the Kes family, he could have revealed his identity. Rui Luo would have been even more shocked. So we think he has insufficient motives."
"Nonsense, he is not! He is a giant lion beast!" Soria shouted, looking panicked.
Meier said, "Thank you, it's hard work." After hanging up the call, he looked at Soria sharply and asked, "When did you know?"
"I don't know, he is the master of the giant lion beast!" Soria gritted his teeth. He was extremely hateful. What he was most worried about was that Meier would find out. He knew very well that Meier would not do anything to Maine.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have let that bitch Maine grow up!
Meier glanced at him, stood up and walked out, instructing his adjutant to collect all the information about Maine and pass it to him.
When Xie Sen got off work, Maine picked him up again. As soon as he got on the shuttle, Maine pushed him against the seat and kissed him for a long time. He panted lightly and leaned against Maine's shoulder: "Is your wound healed?"
Maine's voice was slightly hoarse: "It's okay."
Xie Sen felt his body getting hot from his fiery gaze. He coughed lightly and pushed him away: "Go back first. I'll check and we'll know."
Maine looked at him deeply and sat back down.
Xie Sen opened the live broadcast room and saw the contracted beasts lying down to rest. He took a look and opened the anchor's backstage. When he saw the reward income, he was stunned.
He pointed at the numbers one by one, counted them several times to make sure he hadn't made a mistake, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Today, there are more than two million rewards in one day."
Maine had been following the live broadcast, so he knew what was going on: "Fighting for a spot in the top eight."
Xie Sen looked at the fan list. The number one fan was worth more than 10 million, which meant that he alone had given gifts worth more than 1 million.
Next up is 'Qiao Ke', with a fan base of over five million.
These two people accounted for more than half of the rewards.
Maine added: "There are still people waiting and watching. The peak period for gift giving is near the deadline."
Xie Sen: "...Is there anyone who reported me for cheating?"
"No, if we can successfully form a bond, this little money will be worthless."
When Xie Sen thought about the price of an A-level contracted beast, he stopped thinking about it and went online to customize an oversized bone-shaped toy for the giant wolf beast.
On the morning of May 7, Xie Sen was sitting in the shuttle on his way to work at Jinpai when he received a call from Ma Qun, the director of the Botanical Research Institute.
Ma Qun said excitedly: "The peppers have sprouted! All the seeds have sprouted successfully, a few days earlier than expected!"
Xie Sen immediately thought of the delicious fried pork with peppers and swallowed his saliva: "That's great." He remembered the tomatoes that Li You brought back, "Where are the tomatoes?"
Ma Qun sighed, "It didn't work. Some of them were frozen and preserved, and the rest are still being studied."
Xie Sen frowned. Logically speaking, after the red energy was taken back, all red plants could be planted!
Ma Qun hung up the phone after informing him of the good news. Xie Sen pondered for a moment and called out to A Dan.
