"Okay, brothers, it's time for Duoduo to go off today."
"The poll that the anchor held before said that everyone would rather see Duoduo play a horror game, but I am not good at this. I am going to turn off all the sound effects tonight and try out a few games to be mentally prepared."
"My family is looking forward to my performance tomorrow, bye!"
The protective cover of the game cabin popped open, Su Yuluo took off the two brainwave remote sensing patches on her temples, and sat up from her "little nest".
Su Yuluo had a great time playing the battle royale game live in the virtual world for most of the day, but when she left the game cabin, she was inevitably a little top-heavy.
She simply leaned against the game cabin, slid down on the cool floor, and unbuttoned two more buttons of her pajamas to let some air in.
"Erya, drink."
Erya is her smart butler. It looks like a cylinder, but has two robotic arms. It also wears cat-ear hairpins on its round head. It can make various cute emoticons on the display screen.
Soon, two bottles of ice-cold carbonated drinks were delivered to Su Yuluo.
After she took a big gulp, she was satisfied with the sensation of stimulation in her mouth. After a while, she took a breath and felt completely refreshed.
Carbonated drinks are the best at the first sip.
The cold stimulation made her clearer. She put down the drink can, touched Erya's head, and looked back at her game cabin.
“I’ve been using this model for several years, and I feel like it’s time to get a new version. I heard that the latest version of the game cabin now has the function of protecting the brain and body. Even if you play in the virtual world 24 hours a day, you can still play it. Give your body adequate rest.”
"But it's so expensive, ah ah, Erya, why am I not a wealthy lady who can wake up from a bed of 500 square meters every day?!"
Su Yuluo ravaged Erya's cat-eared headdress, and began her routine of delusions and complaints after get off work every day.
In fact, on the planet she lives on, there are already very few young people whose monthly income is close to ten thousand star coins.
Since she started doing live broadcasts part-time when she was a student, her live broadcast account "Shu Yuduo" has accumulated a lot of fans, and now she has a stable income of more than 30,000 yuan a month.
Occasionally, I come across events on live broadcast websites, and if I catch a wave of east wind, my monthly income may be close to 100,000, which is enough to make many my peers envious.
If Su Yuluo was a child, she would probably be very happy if she knew her monthly income could reach this level.
But as she grew older, she realized that money really comes without planning. Once she plans to plan her family life, her current savings are simply not enough.
Her grandparents are from the countryside. Now they are old and have little income. Instead, some common diseases among the elderly have come to her doorstep. The money to buy medicine every month is okay, but if it worsens, surgery will be necessary. The fees might eat up all her savings.
Dad is an employee of a large enterprise and his income is pretty good. However, he likes to smoke and drink. He suffers from cough all year round and is reluctant to see a doctor. He is afraid that the doctor will ask him to quit smoking, which makes Su Yuluo very worried.
In order to take care of the family, my mother found a job closer to home. The working hours were very stable, a real nine-to-five, but the salary was meager.
When she thought about these things, Su Yuluo didn't feel as free and unrestrained as her peers imagined that such an income should be.
In addition, at Su Yuluo's current age, her family has a faint tendency to let her go on a blind date, but she really doesn't want to get married and become a family member with a stranger. She feels uncomfortable thinking about this kind of thing.
Because her income is now the highest in the family, her speech is relatively useful and she can bear it, but it is conceivable that if this situation continues, she will not be able to bear it for a few more years.
To solve these troubles, the only way Su Yuluo can think of at present is to make money.
Make more money and make more savings.
But apart from game live streaming, some of her other attempts have not yielded very good results.
Su Yuluo got up from the ground, walked to the balcony, sat on a lounge chair, and projected the screen of the horror game while enjoying the suburban wind.
The combination of the master's sound effects and the well-rendered pictures is indeed very atmospheric.
But Su Yuluo just carefully recorded some of the key points, making some outlines on the electronic notes next to her, thinking about where she could properly show shock or even explode in front of the audience during the live broadcast tomorrow. Use foul language to improve the effectiveness of the program.
For things like live broadcasting of games, if you just rely on luck, you can't guarantee that every show will be effective. After all, the status of the anchor is sometimes relatively sluggish, so in addition to real reactions, this kind of "script" seems very It's necessary.
After mentally preparing for tomorrow's live broadcast, she turned off the game and stayed in a daze for a while.
"After the live broadcast tomorrow, let's go to the village and have a look."
Su Yuluo thought of the poverty alleviation video she had recently made after discussing with colleagues in the group.
To be more precise, it is just to buy some things and visit the lonely elderly people.
To be honest, before I talked about this with people in the group, I actually went to a poor village to shoot a video.
Although Su Yuluo often read related news on the Internet, she never thought that in this day and age, there would still be such poor, lonely, and miserable elderly people.
Among the families she often visited, there was a hunchbacked old woman who didn't know how to shop online. Her only source of livelihood was to pack home-grown vegetables and eggs in plastic bags and sell them at the market. If you don't go out and want to eat meat, you can only find a way to exchange eggs with the butcher shop owner.
But that's not the most uncomfortable thing.
There is also a blind old man who lives on village relief. Sometimes he helps the villagers do some physical work in exchange for food, and lighting a fire to cook is the most primitive method.
Soak a plastic bag with kerosene in a plastic bucket, move it to another corner, throw it on the firewood, and then light it with a lighter.
He had to touch the fire with his hand to know that the fire had been lit, but this method was the least dangerous way to start a fire for him.
This is an interstellar society. The communication technology of the Interstellar Alliance connects civilization after civilization and spans galaxies after galaxies.
Slightly more powerful civilizations all use stars as their energy source, and regard transforming planets and creating new livable planets as common major projects.
Looking at the great civilizations on the Star Network, and then seeing the scenes of those elderly people, Su Yuluo felt a sense of disparity in her heart that was indescribable.
Her first attempt to shoot a video was in vain because she couldn't get the camera up there.
But later, she still went to take pictures.
She couldn't help so many people, and her savings had to be considered for her family. No matter how much she couldn't bear it, she couldn't use them all on strangers.
But the income from the video shooting, plus some spare money she posted, would at least allow her to visit the elderly with some food, drink, and daily necessities every once in a while.
"Why am I not super rich?"
Su Yuluo sighed again.
In the interstellar age, all disabilities and illnesses can be cured, it just requires more money.
Even if the super rich can't save everyone, they can at least give the elderly people nearby a better old age.
While thinking about these things in her mind, Su Yuluo's hands were not idle. She browsed some news on Xingwang, looked for some popular videos on her live broadcast platform, and checked to see if there were any new memes in the comment area recently. .
She quickly discovered a trending search.
"Human Immortal Taoist Seed"!
It seems that many media are reporting on this thing. Even my own live broadcast platform, which obviously focuses on games, animations and ghost videos, has such a hot search term.
What kind of big company's products are being marketed to build momentum?
Su Yuluodian opened a product review video.
What is recorded above is the change of a vegetative person whose family did not have money for brain awakening treatment in one week after swallowing the "Human Immortal Taoist Seed".
In the video, the efficacy of this "human immortal Taoist seed" was so miraculous that the comments from the audience were still dubious. However, when the price came out, all the comments became funny and questioning.
Su Yuluo almost took a sip and spit out the carbonated drink.
With only ten star coins, you can buy a "Human Immortal Taoist Seed" and it will be delivered to your door with free shipping.
Even those big promotions that are known as jump sales are not promoted to this extent. They are so cheap that even a fool would not believe it.
Moreover, this thing does not follow the path of small profits but quick turnover, because the exclusive manufacturer of this thing, "Karen Kingdom", claims that everyone only needs to take one Immortal Dao Seed.
Most diseases in the interstellar era can be effectively alleviated or even cured in a short period of time as long as a Tao seed is taken into the stomach.
And if you eat more, there will be no additional benefits.
"Is this kind of marketing method another performance art gimmick?"
Su Yuluo shook her head, not taking this matter to heart and continued to browse other news.
After the live broadcast ended the next day.
She drove her second-hand aerostat to the village a hundred and thirty kilometers away. As soon as she landed in the village and before she could even take out the contents of the aerostat, she heard the bad news.
The kerosene barrel in the blind grandpa's home accidentally overturned. When he used a lighter to light a fire for cooking, he ignited the kerosene. Although he escaped and was rescued by neighbors and sent to the hospital, he suffered extensive burns on his skin.
Now the hospital is putting him in a cryogenic convalescing cabin, breathing heavily, and has checked him out for signs of organ failure, which should be caused by his daily barren life.
This situation is not impossible to save. With only 1.7 million star coins, his whole body can be cured within two months.
And if he doesn't force a cure, but just saves his life so that he can barely return to his previous living conditions and wait to die with symptoms of organ failure, it will only cost 900,000 star coins.
It’s not that there are no kind people in the village, but the village simply can’t afford the money.
Su Yuluo had the urge to try all her savings for a moment, but she couldn't make up her mind and her savings were not enough.
She went to the hospital to see the blind grandpa and stood there for a long time.
At first, she just gave the blind grandpa a piece of mutton, and she heard a hearty laugh.
It's really amazing that a person who has been blind since he was young, with dark and rough skin, scars on his hands, and a very weak body can actually laugh so loudly and happily.
Because of that laughter, Su Yuluo had the idea to continue making videos like this, and had the courage to visit the village regularly.
But now, the old man is wrapped in a blue bandage and lying in the cryogenic treatment cabin. He can't see any inch of skin on his body, nor can he see those wrinkles... In fact, with large-scale burns, those wrinkles are not visible in the first place. Bar.
"The village means...that's it."
The village chief squatted on the flower bed of the hospital, smoking an old-fashioned cigarette, frowning, "The doctor said that if no other treatment is provided, let him fall asleep in this cryogenic treatment chamber. He will sleep for three or four days before leaving." There won’t be any pain, I can sleep comfortably and walk comfortably.”
"When the time comes, I will take him to be cremated and give him a cemetery. Xiao Su, you can also come and see it then."
Su Yuluo couldn't tell what she was thinking, but she vaguely felt like she hummed.
She was unwilling to leave just like that. She walked slowly around the hospital, turning around, pulling out the projection screen with her hand habitually, and absently watching the news and videos.
She didn't even pay attention to what was playing on the screen.
She didn't know how long it took, but when she wandered to the outpatient department again, she suddenly heard a worn-out background music and the word "burn" in her ears.
Su Yuluo suddenly raised her head and looked at her screen. What was playing on the screen was not a burn video.
She turned around blankly and found a child sitting in the outpatient department watching a video.
In the video, it is exactly what happened to a patient with extensive burns on his body after taking the Immortal Taoist Seed.
With bad background music and passionate commentary that has no meaning, I don’t know what the person who made this video wanted to express.
But Su Yuluo suddenly had an idea.
'I can't use all my savings to fight, but ten yuan, ten yuan can't I gamble? '
She quickly placed the order, and within five hours, the courier arrived at the hospital.
Su Yuluo took it to the doctor, but the doctor in the village was also skeptical about this kind of thing. He just suggested that she should not use this kind of thing in the hospital unless she signed a few procedures to ensure that it had nothing to do with their hospital. .
Su Yuluo didn't know what she was doing, so she dragged on for more than two days.
Seeing that the blind old man was really dying, he finally signed the formalities and gave him the Immortal Taoist Seed to swallow.
………………
Two months later.
As if Su Yuluo had detected a keyword, when the group of friends mentioned the Immortal Dao Seed, she suddenly went online and started promoting it to everyone crazily.
"Okay, okay, Duoduo, you have said it a hundred and eighty times in recent times. It is so outrageous that it makes people wonder if you are possessed."
"Speaking of Duoduo, don't always recommend this thing to your fans during live broadcasts. I feel that you have repeatedly recommended it too many times. If it causes any negative impact, the platform may ban your live broadcast room."
"Really, haven't you noticed that you have a lot of fans who are a little disgusted with this topic recently?"
"Because it's really good. I also have many fans who agree with me. There are even people who have also used this and are attracted to become my new fans! The blind grandpa I often visit..."
"I know, I know, I've heard you say this a hundred and eighty-one times."
"Extensive burns and organ failure can all be cured. Even the eyes that have been blind for decades are getting better. I beg you, whoever mentioned this just now, jump out and let Duoduo stand at attention and get beaten!"
"My, my, it's all my fault this time."
"Brothers, let's change the topic. I almost vomited when I read the entry on human immortality. Why are there such things everywhere?"
"No, brothers, I'm serious. Duoduo is right. My second aunt's grandma also uses this thing at home, and it really works wonders."
"Good guy, here comes another one."
"Hey, don't you know? Just now Galaxy Eye, Shandu Company, and several biomedical institutions affiliated with large companies have issued statements one after another, believing that there are great hidden dangers in human immortality species."
"I saw it. Please forward the link. Galaxy Eye has applied to the Alliance Headquarters to temporarily ban the sale of such products in the Karen Kingdom, pending a thorough research and investigation."
Su Yuluo, who was outside the screen, quickly clicked on the link and looked at it.
She has been very energetic recently.
The blind grandpa's vital signs have completely returned to normal, except for his eyes, which have not fully recovered. The hospital's tests found no side effects or hidden dangers.
Even the hospital couldn't detect the existence of the Immortal Dao Seed at all, and couldn't figure out how that thing operated, but what was certain was that the effectiveness of that thing was still there.
Blind Grandpa's human body magnetic field has been producing wonderful and benign changes.
After repeatedly confirming and taking her blind grandfather to the big hospital, Su Yuluo now has a large number of human immortality seeds at home.
If the elderly people in the village encounter something again, she can confidently go to rescue them.
Just thinking about it makes me happy, hehe.
There are many kind-hearted people in the world, but people's abilities are limited, so the amount of goodwill that can truly be realized is pitiful.
Even in the interstellar age, with such advanced technology and so many prosperous civilizations, it seems that no one can change this situation, or in other words, they have not thought about making such changes.
But now, it seems that such a miracle has happened!
Everyone's small kindness can be magnified to the point where it can save lives.
And I heard that with this human immortality seed, you don’t have to wait until you are sick before you treat it. Even people who are not sick can benefit from swallowing one pill and can prevent and treat all kinds of diseases.
Su Yuluo didn't hold it back. She had already taken one. If she went for a detailed examination after more than half a year, and found that there was really nothing wrong, but positive changes, she would have enough strength to convince her family. , and they all ate this thing.
Su Yuluo's eyes were sharp and she scanned the notices issued by Galaxy Eye and Shandu Company's organizations.
Banned! Banned! Everyone is calling on the Star Alliance headquarters to ban the Karen Kingdom from continuing to sell human immortality seeds!
She originally wanted to seek proof, but when she looked at the words and sentences of those guys, those false accusations that were so outrageous in the eyes of those who had used them, she only saw half of them, and her gums were bleeding from biting them.
"You, mother, damn!
These bitches don’t look down on you at all, okay? ! "
In the moment of rage, her fingers tapped on the comment box, and two tiny rays of lightning flashed at the end of the girl's eyes, fleeting but leaving dazzling traces.
That is the awakening magnetic field, and it is also... the blooming true spirit!
………………
The Embassy of the Kingdom of Karen in the Alliance Headquarters.
Queen Karen on the screen was talking to Guan Luoyang about the recent situation.
"Many biotechnology industries in the interstellar world have recently begun to consciously boycott us. Moreover, there are more and more framed images and materials claiming that our human immortal species will have terrible side effects. Public opinion on the interstellar network has already Not optimistic."
The Queen said, "Teacher, although your method of creating human immortality seeds is extremely clever, our cost is so cheap that it is almost negligible."
"But if the price is so low, the counterattack will be too fierce. Should we make more adjustments in price and sales volume to temporarily confuse them so that we can win more allies?"
Guan Luoyang also had a small screen in his hand, and he was also browsing the comments that resisted them, but he just smiled indifferently.
"Do not worry."
He said, "If we can't even withstand this counterattack, how can we be qualified to win truly valuable allies?"
The Queen was slightly puzzled.
Seeing her expression, Guan Luoyang said, "The supreme governor of the Interstellar Alliance, do you have any reaction to the fact that the Karen Kingdom was willing to completely surrender to him in your previous report?"
"They did reprimand the First Core and the Beyond City in writing and gave us a lot of convenience, but when it comes to matters of deeper cooperation, they behaved... politely and in a leisurely manner."
The Queen said thoughtfully, "Or to put it more bluntly, they have a lukewarm attitude."
Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "It seems you understand."
"Indeed, although I understand the power of the Interstellar Alliance, I am still in the middle of the game, and sometimes I still cannot completely put the Karen Kingdom in an insignificant position."
The queen looked calmly and said clearly, "In fact, even though the Karen Kingdom has abundant resources, a good military, good governance, and a good reputation, if it does not show a sufficient attitude, then all it can get in exchange is A lukewarm, insignificant feedback.”
The Queen couldn't help but say, "Have the conflicts within the Star Alliance reached this point?"
Only when the contradictions become acute to a certain extent and the different factions are almost completely opposed to each other, will those neutrals who have certain strength but not clear enough attitudes be subject to more stringent scrutiny.
If this was a period when everyone could still compromise with each other, then each faction should treat neutrals with more tenderness.
"Perhaps for some people, conflicts within the alliance have always been tolerated. Even if the situation is a hundred times worse than the current situation, they can tolerate it."
Guan Luoyang said, "But now the supreme governor still has some ideas."
Queen Karen has a lot of achievements and is well-informed, but she will not buy secret information from the alliance headquarters like Guan Luoyang did.
Therefore, unlike Guan Luoyang, she can feel the true character of certain figures in interstellar society from the clues revealed by those secret intelligence.
"Let me go for a walk."
Guan Luoyang stretched his neck, stood up and said, "In short, everything regarding human immortality and Taoism remains as usual."
"I think soon, the subordinates of the supreme governor of the Interstellar Alliance will come looking for us."
He left the Karen Kingdom embassy and wandered outside.
The size of the Star Alliance headquarters planet is just the size of an ordinary planet, and is not too bizarre.
However, the resources held by the alliance headquarters are immeasurable. They can use various technologies of the interstellar era at will. No one knows how many places on this planet use high-end technologies such as space folding and space expansion. .
But one thing is certain.
Even the most common and ordinary buildings on the surface of this planet, every floor in each building has been expanded to the size of a city after being affected by space technology.
It has always been like this for thousands of years, with intelligent creatures from all civilizations thriving here.
After Guan Luoyang left the embassy, he walked around a few floors and went to the famous food building.
All the floors in that building, after the expansion, are still used for making and selling various delicacies.
Countless food streets are in that building, experiencing changes with the times, and the skills of generations of chefs have also kept pace with the times.
Guan Luoyang casually walked into a noodle shop. The restaurant had a very simple design, with no screens, only square tables and seats.
However, as long as you tap on each menu with a pen, an advertisement will be projected, allowing people to have a certain understanding of this type of food and avoid some intelligent creatures with unique tastes from mistakenly ordering items that they cannot eat.
The chef behind the counter has a head like an onion, three eyes, eight arms, a slender body, and blue skin without any pores. He looks delicate and neat. He wears black trousers on his lower body and a white apron around his waist. .
Guan Luoyang ordered a pasta dish similar to grilled Mosasaur meat with ramen, and the chef's eight arms began to move, making it on the spot.
Just watching the process of making this delicious food is pleasing to the eye.
Guan Luoyang truly followed "fate" to this point, so when the chef's eight arms were operating, it was normal for him to reveal his seven-star elementary martial arts attainments.
He just watched calmly and asked casually: "What is the name of this technique?"
"This unique skill is called infinite cooking."
Before the chef opened his mouth, another voice answered Guan Luoyang.
A tall, silver-haired man wearing a black sports vest sat next to Guan Luoyang.
This man seemed to be a regular customer, and he snapped his fingers at the chef: "Here I am again, still the same as the third one."
The chef had already finished making the portion he was holding. He glanced at him and sent the noodle bowl to Guan Luoyang. He bowed politely and said, "Please."
Guan Luoyang had already whetted his appetite and said with a smile: "Thank you!"
The silver-haired man clicked his tongue and said, "Brother, you are discerning. This Kunalong Ramen is the second most delicious set meal under Lao Xu's hand, second only to the one I just ordered."
"Oh? I'll have another set meal of that kind later."
Guan Luoyang touched the edge of the bowl lightly with his fingers, knowing that this noodle was at its most delicious, so he stopped talking to him and tasted it directly.
The Interstellar Alliance, or the most powerful person in this era in the entire universe.
The Grand Consul, Dumont, gave another thumbs up.
"The timing is perfect. He is really a good man who knows the art of gourmet food!"
