Chapter 14
Margery was dumbfounded.
...Well, should he report Wen Ji and His Majesty anonymously?
As guardians of humanity, Wen Ji and Your Majesty need to always pay attention to the physical and mental health of the wards and provide certain financial support. Not to mention anything else, pocket money is essential, right?
Which adult would not want to buy some delicious food and fun things when logging into StarNet?
Not to mention the humans who have just awakened.
Besides, Your Majesty is not short of money.
But now, this little human was obviously too greedy to do this.
——Before this, he must not have had a penny in his pocket!
No matter how you look at it, this is all Your Majesty's fault!
He Xile had no idea what Maggie was thinking.
He is in a dilemma.
The delicacies sold at various snack stalls on the Star Network are completely different from the special snacks on Earth. Although some cooking methods seem similar, the ingredients are very different, so the taste is also different after it is cooked, and it is very regional.
He Xile smelled the aroma of various foods and wanted to try each one, but unfortunately his stomach was so small.
hateful!
But it's okay this way.
He Xile thought that this way, every night when he lay in bed, he could think about the delicious food he had not eaten yet, fall asleep with anticipation for the next day, and then wake up to greet a new and beautiful day.
He Xile finally chose to pick his soldiers and generals, and finally returned to Maggie with two freshly baked bags of snacks.
He handed over one of the packets: "This is for you."
Maggie was stunned. He didn't expect that humans would actually buy him food.
He had originally intended to decline the human's kindness, but when he saw this human, who was much younger than him, standing like a straight tree, with beautiful pupils gazing at him, eyes as bright as stars, he finally reached out to take it and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
He Xile stood beside Maggie and took a bite of the snack.
I don’t know what ingredients this dim sum is made of. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The surface layer looks like caviar. When you bite it, the small particles burst immediately. The meat inside is very soft, tender and delicious. Combined with the sweet and sour thin layer of sauce, it is a real enjoyment for your taste buds.
Woo.
So delicious!
It is worthy of Hai Xinna that after solving the problem of food and clothing, she began to pursue higher enjoyment.
He Xile was moved.
Margery stood nearby, feeling a mixture of emotions.
He'd suffered a severe blow today; all the Star Coins he'd saved were gone. Now he didn't dare go home to face his daughter. He had no appetite and didn't feel like eating. Besides, Margery had grown up in Haixinna and was a frequent visitor to the Star Network. He didn't think these snacks were anything special, but they were, after all, gifts from humans.
He turned his head and his eyes met the human beside him. He noticed that the latter was eating very seriously. He took a bite, and while chewing, his body and cheeks shook slightly, and his whole body exuded a happy atmosphere.
This emotion completely infected Margery, and he couldn't help but lower his head and look at the food in his hand that was still steaming.
He thought to himself, is this thing really that delicious?
Margery took a big bite.
He Xile quickly finished the snack in his hand, and when he looked to the side, he saw that Maggie had just finished his last bite.
Really good!
He Xile took out the tissue given by the store owner and wiped his mouth carefully: "I'm done eating."
Margery hesitated and said, "Uh...is there anything else you want to eat? I can buy it for you."
"Need not."
He Xile shook his head and said, "I have money now, I can buy it myself." He turned and looked at Ma Jieli seriously, "Do you have any plans for the future? I mean, work-related."
Margery was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe I'll find a job."
He gave a wry smile. "Don't worry, I won't do this again. I was just... too anxious before. And as you can see, I'm not really cut out for a sales job."
He Xile nodded: "I see."
He said, "There are too many people around here. Let's find a place to continue chatting."
Margery was stunned.
ah?
Isn't this human here to ask for money?
Now that the goal has been achieved, is there anything else we need to discuss with him?
Before, after knowing that the person who contacted him was this human, Margery guessed that the "business" the other party mentioned was probably an excuse to call him out, so he no longer held out hope.
Could it be...
He was dazed for a moment and hurried to catch up.
He Xile had been browsing StarNet for the past few days and was already familiar with several of the streets here. He walked directly to a shop that looked like a teahouse and pushed open the door.
Can't push it open.
He Xile had a blank expression on his face. He took a step back and looked up at Majieli.
Seeing this, Margery couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, revealing his first genuine smile of the day. He took a step forward and pushed the door open easily.
He Xile pretended nothing had happened, walked in, picked a seat in the corner and climbed up to sit down.
The two ordered basic drinks and desserts.
He Xile slowly explained his purpose.
"What! Authorization? Are you really willing to authorize me?!"
Maggie was stunned. He subconsciously leaned forward and wanted to hold He Xile's hand, but when his eyes met the other's delicate and white skin, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
——Human skin looks so delicate, completely different from their rough and thick skin. Margery always feels that the other party will be hurt if he touches them even a little.
Moreover, the human looked so small and had little strength, and could not even push open the door of this store. He must not get excited and hurt the other person.
But Margery was too excited.
He finally understood what the other party meant by "business" in the previous communication.
There was finally some light in Margery's eyes, full of hope.
He Xile nodded seriously: "Yes. From now on, every penny you earn will be clean."
He Xile was originally just too poor, and when he was studying, he saw the relevant laws of Hai Xinna and thought of the copyright issue, so he came to Majie to ask for copyright compensation.
But after witnessing Margery being arrested and hearing the two bosses mention Margery's "daughter", he softened his heart a little.
Although He Xile is nineteen years old and looks like an adult, he actually went to the hospital for treatment before finishing high school. His mental age is not really that old, and he can only do his best to deal with many things.
In this matter, He Xile believed that Maggie had already paid the fine and received the punishment he deserved. As long as he did not commit the same crime again in the future, the previous incident would be over.
The most urgent matter is the other party’s daughter.
"Don't be so happy."
He Xile's expression was serious. "Next time you sell it, don't use those... weird words to mislead people. The price can't be so high. And don't continue until you have earned enough money."
"Of course!"
Margery nodded repeatedly, "It was all my fault before."
His eyes were slightly red.
Before, Margery could earn more than 10,000 star coins by secretly selling photos and videos in just a few days, not to mention selling them openly with the authorization letter given by humans themselves -
Margery could already foresee the days when he would make a fortune.
Very good!
His daughter finally has money to treat her illness!!!
Margery danced with excitement. "Thank you so much! Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely cherish it." He paused. "You just said you've earned enough money... what did you mean?"
He Xile said softly, "I've heard about your daughter before."
A grown man, upon hearing this, finally couldn't hold back his tears.
He quickly covered his face with his hands and wiped away the tears: "Excuse me. I just..."
He choked.
He Xile shook his head: "It doesn't matter."
It’s also good to vent your emotions.
Ma Jie Li listened to He Xile's soft voice and felt like a warm cloud caressing his soul. He calmed down and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will stop as long as I earn enough money for my daughter's medical treatment."
"By the way, Your Excellency, there's one more thing I want to discuss with you. Since you've already authorized me, can I do something else? Photos or videos are too ordinary and aren't really suitable as paid products. I've always had a bold idea, such as making a small pendant, terminal sticker, or small doll with your image—"
He Xile was stunned.
He listened to Margery talking, his face confused.
ah?
Ah this.
Originally it was just an authorization, He Xile felt that it was nothing and would not affect him. Besides, after the live broadcast was started, no one would buy these photos and videos anymore.
But if you sell peripherals...
Ahhhh.
The thought of someone playing with a toy or doll that looks just like him, or putting his picture on a terminal...
Isn't this too shameful!?
He Xile immediately stood up and said, "No!"
&
The next morning, He Xile was called by the guards to eat.
With messy hair, he struggled to get up from the bed.
Last night, Ma Jie Li got He Xile's authorization. He was so excited that he couldn't help but kept talking to He Xile. He also said that he would definitely turn over a new leaf this time and be a good person. He would never abuse his power for personal gain. Therefore, they had to draw up a contract between the two of them first, agreeing that he would not continue once he earned enough money for medical treatment, otherwise he would pay He Xile ten times the amount. This way, everyone would feel at ease.
The two of them briefly compared the various terms of the contract.
The result was that He Xile slept late.
"Sir, no matter how fun the Star Network is, you can't play too late."
The guards were a little worried.
Even after washing his face, He Xile still felt tears welling up every time he blinked. He hadn't slept well, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He said with deep conviction, "Yes, I promise I won't do it again."
The guard showed a relieved expression when he heard this.
Oh my god.
Humans are so well behaved!
The two walked side by side to the restaurant. When they arrived, they saw Wen Ji and His Majesty were there.
He Xile was stared at by the other party's cold gaze, and he immediately shuddered, much more awake than before. He glanced at the black lines on the other party's neck, bowed slightly, and greeted, "Good day, Your Majesty."
The noble Wen Ji and His Majesty sneered: "Is this all you will ever say?"
He Xile: “…”
Something terrible has happened. Your Majesty is not in a good mood today.
