Chapter 021 He Xile decided to forgive the other party unilaterally.
He Xile was completely baffled and could not comprehend what Wen Ji and His Majesty had just done.
Eat more?
Why do you say that suddenly?
He ate a lot before, didn’t he?
When I looked back, the chefs were already working hard.
He Xile hurriedly stopped them, saying, "No, no, this food is more than enough. You know I can't eat that much, and it will just be wasted." He said seriously, "Waste is a bad habit."
——After a few days of getting used to each other, the chefs have become very familiar with He Xile's appetite.
However, their hands did not stop moving.
The leading chef smiled and said, "It's okay. This is something His Majesty specifically instructed."
As he spoke, he turned around, looked He Xile up and down, nodded, and said in agreement, "Indeed, you look too small. You should eat more and try to grow taller."
More dishes were pushed in front of He Xile.
He Xile leaned back.
He is an Earthling, 1.78 meters tall, which is not considered particularly short among men. If he were just two centimeters taller, he would be a superior man.
Besides, you can't grow taller just by eating more.
Generally, if you eat too much, your body will not grow vertically, but horizontally.
But the chef made it with so much care, and He Xile felt embarrassed not to eat it.
He had no choice but to pick up the cutlery and eat a few more bites slowly.
So, what's going on, Your Majesty?
He Xile was puzzled and thought, could it be that the other party knew that his express delivery was damaged and felt bad, but didn't know how to show concern for others, so he had to let He Xile "eat more"?
He thought to himself that this method was indeed very characteristic of His Majesty.
However, it was not Your Majesty who damaged the express delivery.
He Xile knows what's going on and of course he won't blame His Majesty.
As for that giant octopus...
Maybe it's because I feel so uncomfortable and my behavior is out of control, right?
The other party would have everyone in the palace on high alert, preparing in advance. They must be someone in a high position of power. He Xile speculated, perhaps it was His Majesty's brothers or sisters? Or even an elder.
It is normal for Your Majesty to express apologies on behalf of the elders.
Besides, the courier is just a small baby, so it’s not a big problem.
The chef was very skilled, and every dish he made was very much to He Xile's taste. However, He Xile's stomach was very small, and could only hold a limited amount of food.
He took two more bites, but couldn't eat any more. He couldn't help but touch his stomach. He Xile secretly looked at the chef and whispered, "Sorry, I really can't eat anymore."
The chef had a meal.
...This little human was actually apologizing to him, simply because he couldn't eat the food he made?
Oh my god.
What kind of cute species are humans?
The chef's eyes became gentler as he looked at He Xile.
He kindly reminded her, "Don't worry, Your Excellency. If you can't finish it, don't eat it. The leftover food won't be wasted. There are other ways to deal with it. Besides, His Majesty hasn't stipulated that you must finish it."
He Xile understood.
Because Wen Ji and His Majesty had already instructed the chef to make more food for He Xile, so they would definitely make it regardless of whether He Xile wanted to eat it or not.
This is His Majesty's order and they cannot disobey.
He Xile was completely relieved when he learned that the food would not be wasted.
He looked at the table full of dishes and said goodbye to the chef because he couldn't eat anymore.
The guard said, "It's a nice day today. Would you like to take a walk around?"
He Xile nodded.
He had just eaten and drunk his fill, so his pace was slower than usual. The guard took two seconds to reach He Xile for each step, but neither of them was in a hurry, and they walked slowly forward.
The sun shines on my body, and I feel warm and sleepy.
A burst of shouting could be heard not far away.
"Move this way—yes, that's it."
"Plant it there."
He Xile looked over and saw that a group of guards were dealing with a tree that had been knocked over. He was shocked.
The amount of damage caused by the giant octopus in these three days is truly astonishing.
When He Xile was taking a walk, he could see evidence of the other party's existence by just looking around.
——Traces of crawling on the soft ground.
The green plants in the small garden were crushed, and a wide path was clearly created.
The building not far away originally had a conical spire. He Xile loved that design and couldn't help but admire it several times every time he passed by, so he remembered it clearly. However, it was now semicircular. He guessed that the top must have been broken off by a giant octopus, and that some of the design had been changed during emergency repairs.
Even the wisteria flowers on the corridor in front of me had a large patch of baldness, as if they had been violently squeezed.
From this we can see that the giant octopus's fighting power is indeed amazing.
After walking around, He Xile seemed to be playing a game of spot the differences, recognizing many places that were different from before.
After a while, He Xile was tired.
The two walked back.
After entering the door, He Xile went straight to the soft chair.
He was just about to log on to the Star Network to surf the Internet when he saw that the guards had not left yet.
He Xile blinked.
The guard came over and whispered, "Sir."
He Xile: "Hmm?"
"I've already consulted His Majesty. Regarding this martial law, the situation is as follows." The guard thought for a moment and asked, "You logged into the Star Network after waking up. You must know that the warriors on Hexinna used mechas when fighting the Zerg, right?"
He Xile nodded: "Yes."
He said, "I've seen a recent history of the palace in the Starnet library before. It included a video of His Majesty repelling the Zerg, as well as a mecha battle on the Starnet. But I didn't finish watching it both times."
——Every time he was halfway through watching, he was forced to log off by the terminal.
So pitiful!
The guard nodded: "That's exactly what I wanted to tell you."
"The Star Network simulates human data and projects it into the virtual world, so even if you get injured there, it won't affect reality. Real-life mecha combat, on the other hand, is connected to the human nervous system."
At this point, the guard's expression grew serious. "During combat, the pilot of a mech needs to maintain complete concentration for extended periods, without the slightest distraction. This takes a toll on the human spirit. Injuries sustained in combat can also have a negative impact on the nerves... This is the inevitable damage that comes with using mechs in combat. Therefore, almost all soldiers experience mental trauma after combat. This is especially true for those with higher mental strength and greater mech piloting abilities."
He Xile was shocked.
This reminded him of the giant octopus's previous behavior and he guessed something.
"The person who appeared outside your window before..."
The guard hesitated for a moment before sighing, "That man's mental strength was incredibly strong, so he was severely damaged after the battle. He didn't intend to enter the room and attack you, but rather the intense mental pain that caused him to want to strike something. His actions were uncontrollable, and he simply happened to be outside the room you were staying in. Therefore, it's best that you don't leave your house for those three days."
He Xile was silent for a while: "So that's how it is."
Some of the books he had read in the library before mentioned the Zerg.
——The Zerg are a race with almost no thinking ability. They have strong reproductive capacity, huge numbers, and are almost everywhere. So far, the people of Haixinna have still not found the Zerg's true nest.
They love to eat meat, especially the flesh and blood of the people of Haixinna. They are also very powerful in combat. It seems that the purpose of their existence is to devour and expand. Therefore, every few years when they rest, the Zerg will organize a large-scale war of aggression.
Haixinna is so vast that, in the past, the outer planets were inevitably invaded by the Zerg. Whenever the Zerg appeared, the people were in constant fear and could not sleep or eat.
The purpose of soldiers' existence is to protect the people from being attacked by Zerg.
Therefore, the pain caused by the giant octopus's second characteristic is not itself, but he becomes like this in order to protect his homeland and his people.
He Xile suddenly felt uncomfortable.
He decided to unilaterally forgive the other party for opening his express delivery without permission and for torturing his baby.
After the guard finished explaining, he reached out and rubbed He Xile's head soothingly: "Alright, sir, that's basically it. If this happens again in the future, please relax and don't worry. Now, you can go about your own business."
He Xile nodded: "Okay."
The guard closed the door considerately.
He Xile sat on the soft chair and looked at the bright sunshine outside the window.
He thought to himself, it seems that no matter what era, life can never be smooth sailing.
The reason why people can live comfortably in such an environment is entirely because there are people who carry the burden and shelter them from the wind and rain.
He Xile was very fortunate to come to such a planet.

After logging into StarNet, He Xile received a system message as soon as he opened the live broadcast room.
"Hello, I'm Yu Zhuo, the editor of Yixunyuan's live studio. After watching your live stream, I think you have great potential. Would it be convenient for me to meet you? I'd like to discuss signing a contract with you."
The news was released on the live broadcast platform, so it shouldn't be false.
He Xile was a little surprised.
Yixun Garden is the largest live streaming platform in the empire, with tens of thousands of streamers and extremely high traffic, rumored to have tens of billions of users. He Xile had only live streamed a few times since registering, and the number of viewers each time was small. How could an editor have proactively approached him?
He was a little confused, but he didn't intend to miss this opportunity.
Signing the contract with the platform is He Xile’s first step towards self-reliance.
The two quickly agreed on a place to meet.
He Xile pushed open the door of the shop with great effort and saw a familiar figure sitting inside.
The man who had previously queued up with He Xile to buy the doll and carried He Xile on his shoulders was now sitting at one of the seats in the beverage store. He was facing the store door and waved to He Xile the moment he saw him.
"Come."
He Xile looked around the entire store, but failed to make eye contact with anyone else. After reaching a secret signal for contact, he walked over first.
The man stood up: "Hello, I'm Yu Zhuo."
"ah."
He Xile opened his mouth wide, "You are the one who sent me the message..."
"right."
The man smiled brightly. "I'm Yu Zhuo, the editor at Yixunyuan who sent you the message. Oh, and by the way, the recipient's name on the mailing address I gave you earlier is my wife's. She's a freelancer and is usually at home, so it's more convenient for her to receive packages, so the name is different."
He Xile sat opposite Yu Zhuo and was still a little bit in disbelief until the two of them ordered drinks.
He couldn't help but say, "I'm so surprised. I didn't expect you to be the editor."
Yu Zhuo laughed. "It's not really a coincidence. The camera design of each live streaming platform is different. When I saw the cameras around you while waiting in line, I knew you were live streaming from Yixun Garden."
He Xile blinked: "I see."
No wonder.
Before that, after Yu Zhuo carried him on his shoulders, he also gave him some knowledge about live streaming.
At that time, He Xile thought it was common sense and didn't think much about it.
"Speaking of this, thank you for the small gift you sent me before. My wife is very happy. You bought it from someone else at a high price, right? Tell me the price and I will transfer it to you." Yu Zhuo opened the terminal and looked up at He Xile.
He Xile shook his head: "I didn't buy it at a high price, so there's no need to transfer money."
He looked at the man opposite him, hesitant. "You want to sign me because I bribed you with the doll?"
Young and innocent people always have some strange persistence in certain aspects.
Yu Zhuo was stunned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "What bribe? I chose to sign you because I truly believe you have the potential to become a livestreaming sensation. I'm very clear about the separation between work and personal matters. You know, Yixunyuan is currently the largest livestreaming platform and is incredibly popular. There are countless people who want to sign us, and many have offered gifts, but so far, no one has been able to successfully bribe us. You only gave us a little doll, and it's not even a rare item. How could that be possible?"
He Xile thought about it and agreed.
Margery had already mentioned on StarNet that it would be reprinted.
Those who didn’t buy the dolls are waiting for the second batch.
Yu Zhuo placed a contract in front of He Xile: "This is what I have secured for you. You can take a look at it first."
He Xile lowered his eyes.
He looked over the entire contract.
Compared with some of the content He Xile had found before, the benefits of this contract are already very good. Although the basic monthly salary is very low, the commission share is still pretty good, and the contract is only for one year. After one year, Yixunyuan will revise the contract benefits based on the host's current situation.
Very fair.
This may also be one of the important reasons why Yixunyuan has been able to reach its current scale.
After thinking about it, He Xile nodded and said, "Okay."
This contract can be renewed after one year, and he will definitely get better benefits at that time.
"Okay, hand me the terminal so I can see your identity information."
Yu Zhuo reached out and grabbed He Xile's thin wrist, muttering, "If a minor like you wants to sign a contract, you need the consent of your guardian, so I'll also check your guardian's identity..."
After saying that, Yu Zhuo put the two terminals together and paused.
Um?
Guardian: Wen Jiyu.
Did you hear about it? ?
His Majesty? ? ? ? ? ?
