Chapter 2: The First Day Live-Streaming
The reason why the original host had to hide and conceal the little cub was precisely because of this.
In the era of interstellar travel, there are extremely few half-beasts, but as long as they appear, they have super powerful combat power, and with a little cultivation, they can become the sharpest blade of the Empire.
However, the training they undergo since childhood is also cruel and inhumane, just to develop their strongest potential.
So on the interstellar network, on the official recruitment website, the price of a half-beast is enough for an ordinary interstellar citizen to spend a lifetime.
This also makes half-beasts sought after, but at the same time accompanied by endless danger.
Ning Yunyi did not know who the little cat cub’s biological father was. The original host had an accident, and when they found him, he was seriously injured and unconscious. When he woke up, he had no memory of that period and didn’t even know he was pregnant.
This also caused the little cat cub to be born prematurely, and being a half-beast, his physical condition was not very good. Fortunately, the Ning family was powerful and wealthy, and they hid it very well, but the original host was greatly affected by this ill-fated child.
Half a year ago, the Ning family had a series of incidents, and he exhausted himself trying to protect the little cat cub’s secret. Little did he know that he would eventually be betrayed by his good friend, and his mental collapse led to his demise, replaced by the current Ning Yunyi.
The little cat cub’s claws gently gripped the doorframe, not daring to move. He was awakened by the strange scent.
This scent he had never smelled before made him unconsciously get out of bed, and he even opened the door with some courage, but his father had told him not to casually walk out of the room, so he froze at the threshold, only managing to cling to the doorframe.
However, the strange and domineering aroma kept wafting into his nose. His round, bright green eyes widened, and the scent seemed to be coming from the plate his father was holding.
The little cat cub instinctively opened his mouth, swallowing hard, just staring at his father without daring to move.
Ning Yunyi looked at the little cub amusedly. He was obviously so hungry that he was about to cry, yet he was still so obedient and didn’t dare to come over.
The original host was afraid he couldn’t protect the little cub, so he didn’t dare let him wander out of the room, and he didn’t even know the secret of the little cat cub’s half-beast nature from the friend who betrayed him.
It was evident that he had protected him very well.
Ning Yunyi put down the plate and walked straight to the little cat cub.
Ning Xiao-miao quickly retracted his claws, squatting there obediently and looking up at his father, his furry little head tilted back, his beast eyes filled with adoration and dependence.
At first, Ning Yunyi was worried that the little cub would notice the difference between him and the original host, but somehow, this body seemed to be the original host’s, and the little cub didn’t notice any difference.
Even when Ning Yunyi picked him up, he just dependently rubbed his little head against Ning Yunyi’s chest.
Ning Yunyi couldn’t help but pat the little Miao-miao’s head, feeling very satisfied as he went back to the bedroom to get a onesie, urging the little cub to change back.
Ning Xiao-miao obediently rolled over, and the next moment a frail little boy appeared on the bed, obediently putting on the pajamas Ning Yunyi handed him and about to climb off the bed on his own.
Due to slow development or the special situation of being a half-beast, Ning Xiao-miao hasn’t spoken yet, but he can obviously understand, he just doesn’t know how to vocalize.
Or his vocal cords may be different from normal people, but he must be fine, because in his beast form, he can meow.
In Ning Yunyi’s memory, Ning Xiao-miao was thin, but he didn’t expect him to be this thin. The impact of seeing it with his own eyes made a strange melancholy emotion well up in his heart.
Ning Yunyi didn’t think much of it, guessing it was the lingering emotion of the original host in his body.
Ning Yunyi quickly scooped up Ning Xiao-miao and brought him to the table. “Can you use a spoon?”
Ning Xiao-miao tilted his head, his beautiful green eyes sparkling, his soft hair swaying slightly with the movement, revealing a natural curl. When he saw Ning Yunyi holding a spoon, he instinctively nodded.
Ning Yunyi smiled and didn’t mind, serving two bowls of rice, one large and one small, then covering the rice with tomato scrambled eggs and pouring in a spoonful of broth, making the color instantly captivate Ning Xiao-miao’s eyes.
The clean, frail little face was full of curiosity, but the aroma was even more intense, and he couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the little spoon, looking up at Ning Yunyi eagerly.
Ning Yunyi took his own big spoon and demonstrated: “Eat like this, try if it suits your taste. If not, we’ll change something else next time.”
As a descendant of a culinary family, although it’s been so many years, his cooking skills shouldn’t be lost.
There must be a dish that the little cat cub will like, to make him a chubby cub.
Thinking of the round, fluffy ball, Ning Yunyi took a big bite of the mixed rice, feeling that the texture must be super good.
Ning Xiao-miao kept stealing glances at his father, following his actions and taking a small spoonful, putting it in his mouth. Suddenly, the whole mouth was filled with the strange, fragrant flavors of the food, a very unfamiliar feeling, but it instantly intoxicated the little cat cub.
At first, he was a bit clumsy with the first few spoonfuls, but soon he buried his head and hurriedly devoured the rice.
Ning Yunyi was afraid that eating too much would make Ning Xiao-miao sick on his first time, so he didn’t give him much, but he wasn’t worried about him getting full. He quickly finished his own large bowl while Ning Xiao-miao was eating.
Sure enough, this tomato scrambled egg mixed rice is an enduring classic. This is what a person should eat.
Ning Xiao-miao unknowingly finished it all, feeling like he had just swallowed it whole, even eating the last grain of rice clean, still looking a bit dazed.
Ning Yunyi rested his chin on his hand, smiling and patting Ning Xiao-miao’s slightly raised hair: “Was it good?”
Ning Xiao-miao quickly nodded his head.
Ning Yunyi pushed over a cup of warm milk: “Drink this too.”
Ning Xiao-miao looked at the drink that looked similar to the nutritional supplement but smelled different, and after trying a sip, his eyes widened: It’s good, so good!
Ning Yunyi’s eyes smiled even deeper: “Finish it all.”
Ning Xiao-miao looked at the father who was different from before but still as gentle, and also revealed a smile, his two rows of neat little teeth making his sparkling jade-like eyes even more dazzling.
However, Ning Xiao-miao didn’t continue drinking, but pushed the cup towards the father who hadn’t drunk any.
Ning Yunyi pushed it back: “This is for the little cub to drink. Father is an adult, can’t drink it.”
Ning Xiao-miao was very easy to fool, and didn’t think Ning Yunyi’s words were wrong at all. Finally, he happily held the cup and drank it bit by bit, reluctant to finish it all at once.
Ning Yunyi didn’t rush him, first washing the bowls and chopsticks. After all, in this era, even food varieties are simple, let alone dishwashers. He can only be self-reliant.
Fortunately, the bowls and chopsticks for one person and one cub are not difficult, and he has already started thinking about what to cook for dinner.
He plans to live stream while cooking dinner tonight, first making some acquaintances. If he can’t earn any star coins, he’ll check if there are any part-time jobs on the star network.
With his combat power, he can’t take on high-level ones, but low-level ones are no problem.
Changing to a new rental house in three days should be no problem.
After Ning Xiao-miao drank the milk and Ning Yunyi fed him a bit of spiritual energy, he quickly changed back to his original form and fell asleep.
Ning Yunyi put him back, then returned to the living room and opened his wrist device.
The wrist device was the latest model bought before the Ning family’s incident, and since the Ning family’s identity was special, when they bought it back, they had added high-tech features.
It can avoid being tracked, the IP location is untraceable, and even the ID identity information is confidential.
Therefore, Ning Yunyi is not worried that live streaming directly will expose his own information to be known by the dark forces behind the scenes that harmed the Ning family.
Even if he is seen, they won’t think he is Ning Yunyi.
After all, the original host was a young master who never got his hands dirty, and wouldn’t do cooking.
To avoid trouble, Ning Yunyi has been using virtual information since fleeing the main planet. He opened the interstellar live broadcast full channel platform [Star Stream], registered an account with a virtual but certifiable ID.
He went to the background to set up. The camera person in the live stream will be automatically replaced by a virtual cartoon-like proportional human form.
During the live stream, the captured movement will be replaced by the cartoon, without revealing any privacy such as appearance or figure.
The voice is also set to be private, a normal cartoon voice.
He didn’t want to be so troublesome with the background at first, but thinking of that Mr. Xu and the landlord, he also set the background to be blurred.
After everything was set up, Ning Yunyi clicked into the [Food Area].
He first clicked into a live video, and the first thing that caught his eye was a handsome red-haired and green-eyed guy… teaching people to arrange nutritional supplement platters.
Ning Yunyi looked at the various colored nutritional supplements in the exquisite plates.
He didn’t know that nutritional supplements could have so many colors.
The host [Gourmet Nick] occasionally exposed a dazzling sunny smile to the camera: “Today I can be said to have gathered the seven flavors of nutritional supplements. I heard that they have added the flavors that existed in ancient books, and I’m also very curious.”
Nick then picked up a reddish-brown plate, holding it up to the camera and smiling: “I heard this is a strawberry flavor. Does anyone know what strawberry is?”
[I I I I know! My great-grandfather collected an ancient book, and I heard it was a fruit from the ancient Blue Star thousands of years ago, red with black spots, with green leaves at the end, and it’s super refreshing to eat!]
[Ah, will I ever be able to eat strawberries in my lifetime?]
[@Director of the Ancient Research Institute, @Chief Disciple of the Ancient Research Institute, Luke, what’s wrong with you guys? Why haven’t you researched it yet? I’m not short on money, just waiting for you to put it on the shelves!]
[Nini, quickly taste the difference between this 1000 star coin nutritional supplement and the 1 star coin regular one! Does it really taste like strawberry?]
Hearing the word “strawberry”, Ning Yunyi, who had just fished out a plate from the space, was choked for a moment. 1000 star coins per bottle? Damn it!
They can just rob it, but they still sell it to you at that price.
Host Nick had already taken a small spoonful with his exquisite spoon, taking a light taste, and an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face: “So this is the taste of strawberry, it’s really refreshing and quite nice.”
Ning Yunyi threw a strawberry into his mouth, it was indeed refreshing, but this host’s expression… did he just twitch just now?
But soon Ning Yunyi couldn’t see the host’s face anymore, stunned by the rain of tips pouring in, that star coin shower shocking this country bumpkin.
In just a moment, they had tipped over tens of thousands of star coins?
He looked up at Nick’s follower count, over 200,000, no wonder.
Ning Yunyi looked at those seven plates of different colored nutritional supplements again and had an idea, his cooking skills, at the very least… worth a 1000 star coin tip, right?
Even if it’s a 50/50 split like back on the Blue Star, that’s still 500, enough for him to rent a house.
Ning Yunyi was satisfied and closed the Star Stream, going to the side to meditate and cultivate.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark. He looked at the impurities that had been removed from his body through the nourishment of spiritual energy all afternoon, first went to take a shower, dried his hair, and got dressed, and began… his official live stream.
On the first day of broadcasting, just test the waters, and make a braised potato and beef rice.
After pre-processing the ingredients and getting his pot ready, Ning Yunyi took a deep breath, opened the Star Stream, placed the transparent screen in an area where only the cooking could be seen, and had the system voice control it.
Ning Yunyi opened the background, clicked the [Live] button, and was prompted to come up with a name.
Ning Yunyi thought about it and just took a random one, and started the official live stream.
Since he was a new person, he had a 10-minute front page recommendation at the beginning, so he attracted a few people.
These few people who just came in were just a black screen, making Ning Yunyi’s name particularly bright.
When they saw the name, the few people were like: ???
