The Last Human In The Empire -
Ch. 18 - Doll
Chapter 18
“Little friend, don't rush off yet, why don’t you try this again?”
“It's a new flavor from our family, and it's selling really well. I personally think it's delicious. You can try it.”
“How is it? Is it delicious?”
He Xile nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice. “It’s delicious”
“Hahaha, as long as you think it's delicious. All right, hurry up and queue up.”
He Xile bid farewell to the stall owner and walked off.
Woohoo! Star Net is really a brilliant invention!
He could eat so much food without leaving home!
And these people were also nice.
He received compliments from those present along the way.
After stuffing the last bite of food into his mouth and chewing it, he let out a long breath. He gently patted his stomach and found it not bulging, making it impossible to tell that he had just eaten five kinds of dim sum in different flavors, two roasted sausages, three fried foods, one soybean product, and also drank two cups of beverages…
Feeling more careful, there seemed to be room for more in his stomach!
Without hesitation, he resolutely walked towards a stall.
The macaron-colored ice cream lined up in front of him, each one looking delicious.
Once again, he fell into a dilemma. ”Which one should I choose…”
Damn it.
It was all because his stomach was too small!
"Let's have the rainbow-colored one. All flavors are included."
A line suddenly floated past his eyes.
He Xile glanced at the ice cream samples in front of him. "But there doesn't seem to be any rainbow colors..."
After speaking, He Xile was stunned, subconsciously raised his head, and only saw the blue sky for thousands of miles in the virtual world of Star Net. He then fixed his eyes, only to find that the number of viewers in the upper right corner of the live broadcast room had changed from the monotonous number "1" in the past to a full "132".
Huh.
Surprisingly, there were people watching his live broadcast? And still so many?
He Xile was shocked.
“Indeed, there are rainbow colors.”
The stall owner spoke out at the right time, attracting He Xile's attention, and he said with a smile, “Although it is not laid out on the display, I can make it for you as long as you tell me, but the price is a little more expensive than ordinary ones.”
He Xile nodded immediately. “Thank you, I want a rainbow color.”
After paying the bill and taking the colorful and beautiful ice cream, He Xile regained consciousness. He swept away the previous lazy appearance, faced the camera seriously, and introduced himself, “Hello, my name is He Xile.”
“Haha, did the anchor just react now? You look so well-behaved, looks like a minor? Is this live broadcast room yours? Or did you steal your parents' account to log in to the live broadcast?”
He Xile replied in a low voice, “I'm an adult, but I'm relatively short. This is my own live broadcast room.”
“Even as an adult, you're only this small? What kind of race is it?”
“The voice is also very nice, I’ll follow you first."
“After watching you eat for over half an hour, I'm a bit hungry now, so I couldn't help but dig out a pack of biscuits to eat, but the biscuits tasted so-so, making me even hungrier now...”
“The anchor really eats well, and he never stops.”
He Xile’s face reddened when he saw this comment.
What?
Did he eat non-stop for more than half an hour?
But it couldn't be helped.
The food in the Star Net was very different from the food on Earth, both in raw materials and in the way it was made.
There were some foods that He Xile really couldn't get used to eating, feeling weird in taste, but most of the foods were very tasty, and, although they were all cooked just like in reality, they were all just data, and he wouldn't gain weight if eating them.
Who could endure this temptation?!
He explained in a low voice, “The snacks on this street are all very much in line with my tastes, so I couldn't help but eat more.”
But he was still a little embarrassed by what that person said and silently thought that after this ice cream, he really couldn't eat anymore.
The rainbow ice cream in his hand looked very attractive. He nibbled a bite, the flavor was sweet and sour, the texture was silky and dense, and it melted in his mouth and didn't feel greasy at all.
He couldn't help squinting his eyes. “This one is delicious too.”
“It's a real treat to watch the anchor eat. It feels like eating delicious food, and the cells in the anchor's body become excited.”
“Damn it, I can't wait to log on to Star Net on the spot to try how delicious those snacks the anchor said really are.”
“...Woooo, I always feel that after following the anchor, there will be a lot of extra expenses.”
“Why does the anchor wear a mask when doing food broadcasts? We can only hear the sound of eating but can't see if you really ate it. Now I wonder if you are fake eating, and you came here to advertise.”
He Xile swallowed the ice cream in his mouth and explained, “I'm not specializing in food broadcasting, it just so happens that I'm eating at this time.”
“The front overthinks it. Look at the house number above your head. It's written as a random broadcast, and there is no specific category.”
“I'm dying of laughter. How could someone think that this anchor is doing food broadcasting? Every time he eats delicious food, except that he eats a lot, he only has a dry sentence of "delicious" and “it’s delicious.” As you said, the host wears a mask, so who can see his expression when eating? This is not what a food broadcast should look like.”
“But it's all here, why doesn't the host try our very famous Kennett meat here? It's very chewy! The more you eat, the more delicious it is! I guarantee you will want more after eating!”
He Xile, "..."
Thank you.
I can't eat anymore.
“Speaking of which, the kid doesn't seem to have eaten much meat the whole time?”
“It's not that he doesn't have much, it's that he doesn't eat at all. He said before that he is an adult, but at present, I don't see the second feature on his body, maybe on the face. I guess he should be herbivorous, maybe he doesn't eat meat?”
“That's right, I think so too. He wears a mask because it's on his face... To be honest, if it were me, I would wear a mask too.”
The pop-up screen gradually increased.
He Xie was not good enough to state his identity now, so he had to pretend not to see the topic of discussing his second feature on the pop-up screen.
There was still noise beside him.
A pair of young man and woman walked down the street very excitedly. “Finally, it's almost here, woo woo woo!”
“Fortunately, we were well-informed, and we came as soon as the line started. Otherwise, you see the blackness behind us—I don't know exactly how many are limited this time and how many are lined up in front of us.”
“That's right. Well, don't come to our time…”
“Shut up, shut up!”
“Huh? Is the anchor here to line up to buy limited edition dolls? I'm also in line, and it's almost my turn, hehehe.”
He Xile was a bit confused, so he asked, "What limited edition doll?"
“Huh? The anchor doesn't know?”
As he was talking, the yelling came from the front, “The only genuine authorization of human beings. You can buy human photos and videos for only sixteen-star coins and a limited number of human-image dolls! Now there are only 100 dolls left!”
“Ahhh, there are only a hundred left! Duckling—”
The crowd suddenly crashed down towards the front.
He Xile was still immersed in the shock and shame of the "human image doll," when he fell directly into the lap of a tall and powerful man.
This man was obviously a regular member of the gym, and he was burly and strong as a bull.
He didn't even shake his knees and said impatiently, “I warned you, this kind of behavior of taking advantage of the chaos and harassing people, if you are caught by the security management department, you will be imprisoned for more than a year—”
As he spoke, he turned his head while stretching out his hand, as if he wanted to directly grab the person who dared to take advantage of the surrounding crowds to molest him. However, his hand reached over, but his grip was empty, and when he lowered his head again, he saw that a small child, who was just up to his thighs, was covering the back of his head, raising his head, and looking at him with tears in his eyes.
The two looked at each other.
Just then the people behind once again pushed forward, and the kid followed the force and bumped into his leg again—apparently, the already red-faced child was not doing so deliberately but was huddled by the crowd and was forced to move on.
He understood his situation, so with a grin, he said, “I said, how could anyone dare to stretch their claws on someone like me?”
Saying that, the man reached out his hand, scooped He Xile up, and placed him on his shoulder. “You are also here to buy a doll? I understand that this human being is popular at any age.”
He was simply too big, and directly carrying He Xile on his shoulders didn't look out of place at all.
However, He Xile was startled.
How could one sit on a stranger's shoulder?!
He was very anxious and wanted to get off the man.
However, as soon as he moved, the man stretched out his hand to support him, and with a little force, he firmly fixed the former on his shoulder. “Be careful, there are many people below, if you really fall, there might be some ungrateful ones stepping on you.”
He Xi laughed.
Surrounded by people, He Xile had just been fished out, and someone immediately topped the position he was originally standing in, so if he came down from the man now, it was indeed a bit unrealistic.
After weighing the pros and cons, he didn't want to cause any more trouble and settled down peacefully.
Seeing the cameras floating around, He Xi said happily, "By the way, I'm live broadcasting now.”
“I know,” the man said directly.
He Xile thought it should be the man who could see the camera around him.
Now that the elder brother knew about it, He Xile stopped talking and looked around the surrounding area curiously.
Since coming to Hexinna, it was the first time for He Xile's field of vision to be so broad—from the countless legs that he glanced at before to the countless heads that he swept across at a glance. It was only at this point that He Xile realized that he had moved forward with the queue before and had already reached the front of the queue.
As for the back, it was so dark that it was worthy of the attractions during the May Day holiday.
“Wow—”
He Xile couldn't help but let out a little exclamation.
“Haven't you seen so many people before?” The man's voice rang like a bell.
He Xile nodded. "I just got the terminal not long ago."
“No wonder.”
The man laughed heartily and said, "In the past, there were more people on the Star Net than there are now, and the terminals had to have a lot of feeder lines to get them to the service. This time is a special case, and there is only one line, so it is so crowded. And who made the human being who just woke up from the museum popular? No, everyone who is even slightly interested in human beings is here."
It turned out to be like this.
He Xile nodded.
He had previously come with the idea of watching the fun, and now that he knew that what was being sold was his own periphery, he was a little tempted to back out, but now that this was the case, the man kept carrying him forward, making it inconvenient for him to leave.
“By the way, this is also your first live broadcast, right? You don't have to worry about copyright issues in the future. When people on Star Net see your status bar, they'll know that you're live streaming, and those who don't want to be live streamed will have already checked the option that they won't be recorded on Star Net itself. Other than that, our Star Net is still very smart."
It was actually like this!
So easy and fast!
He Xile came to a realization and said, "Thank you, I just found out."
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
As he said that, the man pursed his lips and said, "Look, it's our turn."
