Chapter 030 Stay calm, He Xile, don’t panic.
After all, it was the last day of the Wave Festival. Even at the usual sleeping time, He Xile was still online.
On StarNet, a large number of people stayed on the beach.
There was no sense of boredom in the crowded place; instead, everyone had a happy face.
"Happy Wave Festival!"
"The same to you!"
"Ahhh, the fireworks are going to go off soon! So exciting."
He Xile struggled to pull his head out of a big furry tail and said, "Excuse me, excuse me."
He said as he moved forward between countless legs.
As the saying goes, first time is new, second time is familiar. He Xile initially thought that this behavior was not very good, but now after a week-long Wave Festival, he has almost gotten used to this situation.
——Compared to the Haixinna people, the humans on Earth are too short. If they were at the back, they would definitely not be able to see anything.
"Bang——"
With a loud bang, fireworks soared into the sky.
Almost in an instant, beautiful colors exploded across the sky.
"ah!"
“So beautiful!”
The crowd immediately made a sound.
He Xile was still trying hard. Upon hearing this, he quickly looked up, looking in the direction of the sound, but all he saw were countless heads. The sound of excited cheers from the crowd was deafening, and he knew immediately that the fireworks must be spectacular.
He Xile suddenly became very depressed.
——The 101st time I feel disgusted by my own shortness.
The sound of fireworks continued.
He Xile felt itchy and couldn't help jumping up twice.
Before his feet touched the ground, someone grabbed him under the armpits. He Xile's vision was raised completely upwards, and almost the next moment, he saw a brilliant orange firework explode on the other side of the sea level.
"Ah." He Xile let out a short cry.
He couldn't help but look back.
A stranger he had never seen before grinned at him: "Now you can see it, right?"
He Xile: “!!!”
"Yes," He Xile answered instinctively, his face flushing and feeling embarrassed. He couldn't help but struggle, but the man didn't let go of He Xile. Instead, he held the human up with one hand and said, "Don't worry, I lift weights regularly. With your physique, this won't be a big deal to me." He patted his chest with his free hand and commented on He Xile, "Very light."
He Xile blinked.
Terminal Translator even knows the meaning of "lifting iron"?
If this thing were on Earth, wouldn't we have to work so hard to take English exams?
He Xile was envious.
He didn't want to disappoint the stranger's kindness, and it would benefit him, so he stopped worrying and said seriously, "Thank you."
The man laughed heartily: "Hahaha, you're welcome. Normally, when I see short people, I will help them. You are not the first person I have helped, and of course, you will not be the last."
He looked at He Xile and added, "But this is the first time I've seen you so short..."
He Xile: “…”
hateful!
You don’t have to say the latter sentence.
"Bang——" another sound.
They both looked towards the sea at the same time.
Specks of light seemed to rise from the sea. Every time they rose to a certain height, a small firework like an ear of wheat would explode. When they reached the top, a huge golden firework that almost covered the entire sky opened. Each point of light did not disappear, but dragged a long golden tail and fell into the sea together.
It’s like being born from the sea and embracing the sea again.
So beautiful!
This visual feast obviously does not intend to give people any breathing space.
Before He Xile could recover from the fireworks, another firework exploded in the air in a pattern similar to an organ.
Fireworks appeared one after another.
It's confusing.
He Xile, along with the people around him, made "wow" sounds from time to time.
The brilliant light of the fireworks was reflected in his beautiful eyes. Facing this scene, He Xile felt that words were so poor that they could not describe even one ten-thousandth of its beauty.
He Xinna is really great.
Being able to travel here is the second luckiest thing in He Xile’s life!
The fireworks lasted for a full half hour.
When the last firework to mark the end, more than a dozen colorful flowers opened up, filling the entire sky, and then slowly fell down, everything returned to silence.
"See you at the Wave Festival——"
“See you next year!”
"it's over."
He Xile felt lost.
"Alright, kid." The man put He Xile down. "It's too late now. I should log off and go to bed."
He Xile: "Wait."
He rummaged through the Star Network's space package for a long time, pulled out a handful of various candies he'd bought at the Wave Festival, and stuffed them into the man's hands. "This is for you. Thank you for your help today."
If he wasn't a man, He Xile wouldn't be able to appreciate the fireworks at all.
—and will be irritated.
The man was stunned. He didn't expect to have such a gain.
He didn't bother to be polite with He Xile. He reached out and took all the candies. At the same time, he rubbed He Xile's head with his big hand and said with a smile, "Okay, then I won't be polite."
After waving goodbye to the man, He Xile was in a dilemma and hesitant.
It's already late, and it's time to log off and go to bed, but tonight is the end of the Wave Festival, and starting tomorrow, the food stalls won't be discounted...
cough.
Besides, the satiety level on the Star Network is different from that in reality, and He Xile is a little hungry now.
He Xile thought, if he eats a few more hundred, he will definitely log off after finishing.
He hummed happily and walked out to the beach with the crowd.
He Xile always walked at a leisurely pace. He watched as tall figures passed him and walked ahead. Some were alone, while others gathered in groups of three or four, chatting excitedly.
Before He Xile could even think of any emotion, he was hit hard on the shoulder by a tightly wrapped man. He was small and light, and he staggered and fell directly onto the sand.
"Feel sorry."
The man spoke in a low voice and bent down to help He Xile.
He Xile was very agile, and he quickly got up from the ground, waving his hands and saying, "It's okay..."
It's so embarrassing.
He Xile glanced at the people around him, thinking, "Didn't he seem too weak just now? He fell to the ground after being hit by a single blow... Although the gap in strength between the two sides was indeed quite large, it was really embarrassing."
I don’t know if anyone else saw it?
Who knew that the next second, the man would forcibly grab He Xile's hand.
He Xile was startled and quickly withdrew his hand.
In just the time it took to go back and forth, the man had already stuffed something into his palm.
It seems to be a ball of paper.
He Xile looked down at his palm and saw that it was true.
He was a little confused.
What does a man give him this thing for?
When he raised his head again, He Xile was stunned.
There was no one in front of him.
The man had already said nothing, turned around and walked quickly forward. He walked very fast, as if he was afraid of being caught by He Xile, and his cloak rustled in the night breeze.
Almost in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the night and the crowd and could no longer be seen.
“…What’s going on?”
He Xile muttered, opened the paper ball and saw that there were only four words written on it.
——Fall Plan.
What is the Fall Plan?
He Xile looked confused.
He flipped through the paper again and again, even lifting it up to the light beside him, and found that there was nothing on the note except these four words.
Hmm...
It seems that the man knocked him down just now not accidentally, but intentionally.
He Xile immediately lost all affection for that person.
He wondered if this was some new type of scam.
This gimmick is deliberately used to make people curious after seeing the words on the paper ball, and they can't help but search for these four words. As a result, as soon as they finish the search, all the money in the account is gone!
Well, it's 2027 now, and it's time for the fraud gangs to innovate.
People like He Xile, who had just woken up from the museum and didn't know much about Hai Xinna's affairs, big or small, were indeed easy targets for fraud.
Haha, he is so smart, he will never be fooled!

After eating and drinking to his heart's content at the last moment of the Wave Festival, He Xile logged off with satisfaction.
Perhaps because he was too excited before, He Xile felt a little thirsty. He held the cup of water and gulped down a large glass. Then he washed up again and lay down on the bed.
He Xile has always had good sleep quality and fell asleep in a short while.
In a daze, he turned over.
Oops.
Shouldn't have drunk that glass of water.
He Xile opened his eyes a little and found that there was no light in the room. He could only vaguely see the outlines of cabinets and other objects not far away. Obviously, it was still night.
Maybe two or three o'clock.
...urgent need to urinate.
He Xile didn't want to get up, but he had to.
He closed his eyes again, silently cheering himself up in his heart, and at the same time thought casually, is it going to rain? There was no moonlight shining into the room today.
never mind.
You have to get up sooner or later, so a short pain is worse than a long one.
He Xile made up his mind, jumped up from the bed.
The next second, he seemed to be frozen by someone using the sunflower finger technique.
——My eyes have long since adapted to the darkness.
Even without turning on the lights, He Xile, who was sitting on the bed, could clearly see the huge tentacle in front of him that seemed to be frozen.
The tentacle appeared in front of He Xile in a strange posture.
It was curved, forming an S-shape. It was pink overall, but a bit darker, with a hint of orange. From He Xile's perspective, it was almost completely covered with white suction cups, neatly arranged in two rows.
The larger circle further away appears thicker than a 2L beverage bottle, while the one closer to the tail of the tentacle appears smaller. The smallest part is only the size of a bottle cap.
There is a small hole in the middle of each white suction cup, and I don’t know what it is used for.
Slowly, the moonlight came in.
It can be clearly seen that the entire tentacle is shiny and seems to be covered with mucus secreted from somewhere unknown.
He Xile finally understood. It turned out that there was no moonlight in the room just now because part of the tentacle was on the window side, covering the entire floor-to-ceiling window tightly.
It was similar to the last time the tentacles appeared. The distance between the man and the tentacle was very close, and He Xile could clearly see the appearance of the tentacle, but it was completely different.
This time there was no glass between us.
He Xile had no guards around him.
This tentacle actually appeared before He Xile. Even though He Xile knew that the tentacle might not have any malicious intent, at least it had never hurt He Xile before, it was still too big.
It was so big that He Xile was frightened when he saw it and dared not move.
Stay steady.
He Xile, don't panic yet.
——How the hell could I not panic?!
