The fur of the Iron-eating Beast, neither too soft nor too hard, feels extremely comfortable when touched on the beast, but once shed, most of it is the softer down fur, making the fur balls formed very soft and pleasant to touch.
Du Xixi just gave a gentle squeeze, and felt that the black and white fur ball in her hand was incredibly soft, almost uncontrollably squeezing it again to feel its softness, her expression becoming more relaxed.
Although she couldn’t Cuddle the Iron-eating Beast itself, Du Xixi really liked the fur ball made from its shed fur!
Seeing Du Xixi’s expression, Rob knew that this "specialty" had won Du Xixi’s favor. He secretly thought that maybe next time he visited the Iron-eating Beast Empire, he could thicken his mecha face and ask for more similar "specialties."
Far away in the Iron-eating Beast Empire, the Iron-eating Beast, clutching several small fur balls, suddenly felt the new fur on its body shiver: ... A bad omen!
"Miss, I shall take my leave now." Rob bowed to Du Xixi, seeing her distractedly nodding at him while playing with the fur balls, and left with a smile.
Rob needed to go to the south of CD-0329 Star to find some fresh bamboo and bamboo shoots to send to the Iron-eating Beast Empire. Since he could finish it sooner, why delay it until later?
Rob returned just after noon, Du Xixi had just finished lunch and was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, playing with three varying sized fur balls, thoroughly enjoying herself — this was her home on CD-0329 Star, and she had no intention of maintaining a graceful image.
Since she wasn’t outside, with no one constantly watching her, why should Du Xixi painstakingly act in an elegant and dignified manner?
"Miss, the parcel has been sent out and is expected to arrive by tomorrow night." Rob poured Du Xixi a cup of warm water, and after she took a sip, he gently took it back from the table and spoke softly.
Upon hearing, Du Xixi nodded, placed the three fur balls in the box prepared by 2569, got up and stretched briefly, then started towards the kitchen.
In Rob’s understanding, Du Xixi going to the kitchen usually meant she was cooking delicacies. So, following her, he asked respectfully, "Is Miss going to the kitchen to cook delicacies?"
Du Xixi chuckled without answering, yet 2569, who was tidying up inside, slid out responding for her, "Rob, ma’am is going to live stream in the kitchen!"
"Oh?" Seeing Du Xixi nod with a smile, Rob smiled too, "Miss’s live streaming is quite effective now?"
When Rob left for the Iron-eating Beast Empire, Du Xixi had her first failed live stream. Yet upon returning, she appeared very confident, indicating her live streaming had significant results while Rob was away.
Du Xixi saw the tidy kitchen, gave 2569 a approving look, picked up a knife and gently sharpened it on the whetstone, explaining to Rob, "After you left, 2569 and I watched quite a few streams and discovered a common trait among popular ones..."
"Their hosts are all children of nobility, or they have noble backing!" 2569 pulled out a stack of data from its chest pocket and handed it to Rob, "Ma’am had me search the entire Star Network’s data, finding over ninety percent of hosts are in this situation."
Rob took the data, looked it over, and his mecha face appropriately showed a ponderous and solemn expression. Clearly, Rob realized the current predicament in the streaming world wasn’t promising.
Du Xixi, without exposing her identity, was like a newcomer, entering an industry where almost all hosts had unshakable backgrounds. Even if her stream content had highlights, it couldn’t attract the audience’s attention.
It’s not just because of the hosts’ backgrounds but also due to current audience preferences leaning towards these backed hosts.
In pursuit of profit, a newcomer hoping to use her skills to gain popularity in streaming was almost impossible.
Seeing Rob silent, Du Xixi turned and chuckled, taking up the knife to inspect the edge, "You know, I inherited the estate, and I’m a shareholder in the largest streaming platform."
With these words, Rob didn’t need to think further, everything became clear.
