Chapter 042 "After all, it's a prototype, so it's not convenient to show up during the day. I don't like going out."
This boss who gave out 100 million in tips had a very provocative ID, and his profile only had seven words: Hai Xinna, the strongest king.
"Hiss, this guy actually dares to call himself the strongest in Hai Xinna? Isn't he afraid that His Majesty, with his SS mental power, will rush to Dark Shark overnight?"
"Be careful, His Majesty's big eyes are watching you——"
“Hahahaha, I have a vivid picture!”
"If you ask me, someone with an ID like that is probably some kind of elementary school student, right?"
"How can you say that about a big shot? How can a bronze-level student give out 100 million in one go?"
"That's true!"
There was a hint of smile in He Xile's eyes.
He clasped his hands together and said, "Thanks for the tip from a guy I'm not worthy of challenging, but 100 million is too much. Could you please add me as your terminal friend? I'll contact the staff after the live broadcast to see if I can refund it?"
"No need. Just pocket money."
The boss replied in the barrage, "I damaged your coral last time, so this is my apology."
He Xile was stunned.
His eyes immediately lit up.
ah!
Damage the coral!
It’s a giant octopus! It’s so easy to get!!!
He Xile simply reached out and clicked on the other party's ID, sending a terminal friend request.
"...Oh my god, I thought the big guy would ask for something after giving me 100 million, like a blue terminal friend status or something, but it turns out it's just ordinary pocket money?"
"How inhumane!"
"Damn it! When will I ever be that rich?"
"Is it just me who's wondering if they broke some coral? So, does that mean Big Boss and Lanlan have met before?"
He Xile's eyes curved when he saw his terminal friend passing by.
— His Majesty, who speaks one way and means another, must have told Big Octopus that he wanted to add him as a friend, right? Otherwise, how could Big Octopus have happened to show up in his livestream?
Looking up again, He Xile saw the comments and nodded, saying frankly, "Yes, he is my friend in real life. We know each other, but he has never been to my live broadcast room before, so I didn't recognize him."
He Xile paused, then added, "Also, when you're watching the livestream, don't imitate him. Just give according to your means, especially if you're a student. Buy yourself some good food. As long as you stay with me in the livestream and leave more comments, I'll be very happy."
"Wow, Lanlan looks so pretty when she smiles, her dimples are so cute!"
"The voice is really nice, too. Speaking of which, I was watching Lan Lan's livestream in front of my grandfather once, and as soon as he heard Lan Lan's voice, he said he was going to download an app for a livestreaming platform to watch Lan Lan's livestream, hahaha. He used to be so conservative and never wanted to touch that kind of thing!"
"Blue is awesome!"
"So the boss is Lanlan's friend."
"Okay, okay. I won't imitate his behavior!"
"Sister, you don't have money even if you want to learn."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Actually, the money I tipped Lanlan before was all earned by helping my parents with housework. Hahaha, don't worry, Lanlan! I don't have a job yet, so I won't spend money recklessly."
"Me too."
"Wow, we're all the same then. Back on the Blue Planet, I also earned pocket money for snacks from my parents by doing chores," He Xile exclaimed in surprise. "But aren't there robots on Hai Xinna? I thought they did all the housework."
Since robots already exist, why don’t you lie down and free your hands?
But speaking of it...
He Xile realized belatedly that he had never seen any robots in the palace.
——Now the ones who take care of He Xile’s daily life are all guards.
“Robots do exist, but they are not widely used.”
"I bought a robot butler, but my baby was so scared he wouldn't come out from under the bed for two whole days. I dug around for a long time, but in the end, I had no choice but to return it."
"Many citizens of Haixinna are robot-phobic. Even adults would be frightened to death by the sight of a robot... For the sake of their physical and mental health, we rarely see robots here."
He Xile: “???”
Good job.
So scared that you flew up?!
No wonder. Except for the time when He Xile first came to the palace and was transported by a shabby robot, he had never observed a robot up close.
There is actually such a reason.
After the little episode, He Xile continued to introduce his room.
After seeing He Xile's current life, the people watching the live broadcast finally felt relieved.
As soon as the livestream ended, He Xile immediately turned off his camera and sent a message to Big Octopus: "Did His Majesty tell you about my livestream? That's great! I finally added you as my terminal friend. What's your name? You also live in the palace. Are you a relative of His Majesty? Why haven't I seen you before during the day? Let's have dinner together next time. The chef in the palace cooks really delicious food!"
The message was sent, but there was no response.
Is the other party busy?
Or was it that the message he sent seemed too enthusiastic and scared the giant octopus?
He Xile was thinking about this when he received a message from Maggie.
Margery: "Sir, I'm ready to sell the second batch of dolls. I set up a stall on Star Online to test the waters. This time, unlike last time, I've opened a store directly on the shopping app and will take pre-orders. I'll make as many as the number of orders. Do you need me to make a few extra for you?"
He Xile thought for a moment and said, "I can keep some as souvenirs. About ten, right? That should be enough."
Margery: "Okay. I'll mail it directly to you when the time comes."
He Xile: "Okay."
"Your Excellency He Xile."
Margery seemed a little hesitant and did not send the rest of the message.
He Xile: "What's wrong?"
Seeing that the other party still hadn't responded, he simply made a video call.
The video was connected quickly.
Margery on the other side looked embarrassed: "Sir...I'm very sorry."
He began, "Here's what happened. My daughter likes you very much. After learning that her father knew you, she made a fuss about wanting to meet you... This is a personal matter on my part, and since I've already troubled you so much before, I've been a little hesitant. You're still young and haven't become a parent yet, so you might not know that parents always want to satisfy their children's wishes."
"Although I didn't agree to her immediately, I still thought about asking you for your opinion. What if you agree..." At the end, Maggie's voice was a little difficult.
He Xile blinked: "Of course."
This was not a big deal for He Xile.
"Really? Really?"
Margery asked two questions in succession.
His eyes instantly turned red. "Sir, thank you so much. You are really..." He seemed to be at a loss as to how to describe He Xile. After a long search, he finally settled on a word, "an angelic figure."
He Xile scratched his head: "...You don't have to say that."
He couldn't help coughing lightly and blushed a little.
Angel or something...
This is the first time someone has described him like this.
And he just agreed to go see a little girl.
He Xile felt embarrassed.
It was getting late today, so it wasn't a good time to go out. He Xile and Ma Jieli agreed on a time and place to meet the next day. After hanging up the video, He Xile looked again and found that Big Octopus hadn't replied to his message yet.
Hmm.
From these points of view, the giant octopus and Your Majesty are quite similar.
——Everyone likes to give a reward, so just give 100 million directly.
We are all very busy and sometimes we cannot reply to messages in time.
But it's not a big problem.
He Xile was not in a hurry.
He then began to think, going out to see the little girl from Margery's family tomorrow would not be good to go empty-handed, so what gift would be appropriate to bring?
How about making a Chinese knot?
There is a kind of Chinese knot called the auspicious knot, which sounds very auspicious and is very suitable as a gift!
Just do it.
He Xile immediately opened the terminal, clicked on the shopping app, searched for keywords, and began to select the thread for the Chinese knot.
There is no such thing as Chinese knots in Haixinna, and of course they do not sell the No. 5 thread specially used for making Chinese knots.
He Xile had no choice but to figure it out on his own.
In the end, he carefully selected and decided on a thread with a diameter of nearly 4 mm, which looked very smooth and pretty.
——This kind of thread is thicker than the approximately 2.5 mm thread on Earth, and it will definitely be larger after being braided. But for Hai Xinna's people, it should be just the right size?
Just try it and you’ll know.
About half an hour after He Xile placed the order, the system prompted that the package had been delivered.
This is too fast!
It was faster than He Xile ordering a takeaway on Earth.
This is indeed an interstellar world!
He Xile immediately ran out and asked the guard to help him pick up the express delivery.
The guard used the terminal to contact his companions.
Soon, the package arrived.
"Thank you, and thank you for your trouble."
He Xile said this and returned to the room.
After opening the package, He Xile took out the thread he ordered.
After a quick calculation, it only took forty-five minutes from the time I placed the order to now.
Looking at the thread in my hand again, it is exactly the same as the one in the previous promotional picture, and the glossiness is also very good. It is still more suitable for making Chinese knots.
He Xile placed the bright red thread on the table and began to recall the techniques of weaving Chinese knots.
When I was in high school, several girls in my class, after knitting scarves and gloves, started studying Chinese knots. At that time, we would compete with each other to see whose knitting was the best and most beautiful.
He Xile was popular with girls and got along well with them. By watching them perform, he learned several Chinese knot weaving techniques.
I didn't expect it would come in handy now.
They can also export their culture to the people of Haixinna, allowing Haixinna to better understand China.
Really good.
He Xile was in high spirits and was about to start working when the terminal suddenly rang.
He raised his hand and saw that the giant octopus had finally responded.
"It's a prototype after all, so it's not convenient to show it during the day. I don't like going out."
He Xile: “?”
He Xile was stunned and read all the messages he had sent before. He realized that the big octopus replied to He Xile with "Why didn't I see you during the day" and "Let's have dinner together next time."
oh--
He Xile suddenly understood.
That’s right.
Although streaking is allowed at home, unlike ordinary people, there are many guards in the palace, and countless patrols. If it comes out in broad daylight, and the giant octopus is so big, everyone will see it clearly at a glance...
Cough cough.
It’s indeed not very good.
