Ning Xiaoyu likes to play single-player games like farming. Once a game was connected online, it was necessary to do this and do that. If one didn’t spend a lot of time doing things, they wouldn’t be able to progress. Not only would they be unable to defeat monsters, they’d fail even the most basic quests.

But single-player farming games were different.

One could play it anytime, anywhere. There’s no need to worry about being robbed or falling behind if they didn’t play for one day. Relaxing, entertaining, and easy were simply the best choice for Buddhist players.

After listening to Ning Xiaoyu’s explanation, the audience felt that farming games were good and worth getting into.

The director said with a complicated expression, “Then I’ll tell the person in charge of the farming game. She’ll contact you at that time.”

Ning Xiaoyu nodded while eating sweet potato. “Okay.”

———

In the evening, the exhausted guests returned to the guest house. Taking children to play in the amusement park was more tiring than filming all night.

As soon as they came back, they heard about Ning Xiaoyu receiving offers from game companies.

But after they learnt that Ning Xiaoyu had actually rejected the olive branch thrown by companies such as XT, and instead chose an unheard of farming game, the guests had mixed moods for a while.

There’s envy, there’s gloating and there’s incomprehension.

Mu Jiajia couldn’t help but whisper to Ning Yuwei, “Do you think Ning Xiaoyu is stupid? She actually rejected XT!” If it was her, she would choose XT right away and wouldn’t even consider any other game companies.

Ning Yuwei sneered. “With her birth like that, what insight can she have?”

Out of all the choices, she chose the least well-known company. This kind of thing could only be done by someone with no eyes like Ning Xiaoyu. She couldn’t even do such a simple choice right.

However, the more Ning Xiaoyu does so, the better it was for Ning Yuwei.

She didn’t want to watch Ning Xiaoyu get increasingly popular.

Before dinner, the director announced the last activity of the day. After completing it, it was time for the children to rate the guests.

This activity was to interact with the live stream fans.

After all, variety shows needed audiences and popularity. And where did the popularity come from? Of course, from the support of the audience.

Interaction between the guests and the audience was essential.

As far as conditions permit, guests could also fulfil small requests from the audience.

Most of the celebrities present weren’t newcomers. For this kind of thing, it was naturally easy to handle for them.

Soon, each guest turned on the live stream through the mobile phones in front of them and entered the interactive session.

Unlike other guests, it was Ning Xiaoyu’s first time interacting with the audience. She followed the prompt and randomly selected a lucky audience to connect with.

The first lucky one to get picked was a guy who has a nice deep voice.

“Hello, is this Xiao Yu?”

With the sound of this voice, the barrage in Ning Xiaoyu’s live stream suddenly became very lively.

【A deep voice! Nice!】

【Are you speaking close to the microphone? Your voice seems to ring in my ears!】

【Hateful! To actually address Xiao Yu directly, that’s too intimate.】

【I’m sour, of course, I’m sour because of this male fan who can talk to Xiao Yu.】

Ning Xiaoyu hummed.

She wasn’t really used to talking with fans, plus the ones in the live stream weren’t necessary all her fans. If she encounters an antifan, she’d have to kick the person out.

The male fan suppressed his voice and continued, “Xiao Yu, it’s going to be colder soon. Since the weather is cooling down, be sure to keep warm.”

【Ahhhh, using a deep voice to say such caring words is really great.】

【I’ll follow this person! My ears are hot, really hot.】

【Is he a voice actor or anchor? His voice is amazing.】

The fans in the live broadcast room watched the excitement enthusiastically, but the love system was so angry with the voice talking to its host.

Anyone who wants to tear down its CP was a bad person. What was this person trying to do? To flirt with its host like this as if the movie king was dead!

The love system on the side muttered while pointing. Ning Xiaoyu hummed, indicating that she understood.

There’s no need for the other party to tell her that she should keep warm.

She wasn’t a three years old child that didn’t know how to add on clothes when it’s cold. With the recent drop of temperature, she immediately changed into a thicker coat.

She answered with a hum twice in a row and it was very short. The male fan chuckled and said, “Xiao Yu, is there anything you want to say to me? You can say whatever.”

【Tsk, tsk, this male fan is really proactive.】

【It smells like a sea king.】

【Interacting with a salted fish king like Xiao Yu, we fans should naturally take the initiative! 】

【If the fan didn’t take the initiative, this interaction would have ended long ago, hahaha. Eating melon.jpg】

Ning Xiaoyu rubbed her ears and said slowly, “Are you supressing your voice?”

Male fan: “???”

Audience: “???”

Ning Xiaoyu considers herself to be a female star who loves her fans. She thoughtfully suggested, “If you’re tired, you don’t need to supress it. You can talk as you usually do.” Anyway, she didn’t care if the fans’ voices were good or not.

It must be very tiring to talk while clenching your throat all the time, right?

Moreover, if one talked like this often, it might not be good for one’s throat.

Male fan: “……”

The male fan was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond. At this time, the fans in the live stream reacted and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

【As expected of our Xiao Yu. Marvelous.】

【Xiao Yu, the unromantic salted fish king. This is the evidence!】

【What? Deep voice sounds great? Isn’t this talking while deliberately clenching the throat? Must be exhausting.】

【Ning Xiaoyu: You don’t have to work so hard, just use your normal voice. Dog head.jpg】

【Brothers and sisters, when chatting with Xiao Yu, remember not to use voice clip! You think it sounds good, but in Xiao Yu’s view, it’s just one word: Tiring!】

【Laughing to death. In the entire entertainment industry, probably only Xiao Yu will have such a reaction.】

The male fan wanted to say that he wasn’t tired, but wouldn’t it prove that he was really suppressing his voice?

It would be even stranger if he said he was tired. This normally invincible voice of his was defeated for the first time by Ning Xiaoyu.

Thus, the male fan could only bid a hasty good night and cut off the connection.

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t take the male fan’s hasty departure to heart and soon got connected to the second lucky audience.

The love system on the side breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seems that meeting an insensitive host wasn’t without benefits. At least its salted fish host didn’t even know that the male fan was flirting with her with his voice just now! But when it comes to voice, how could this male fan compare to the movie king’s deep and magnetic one?

The voice of the second fan was much more natural.

Coincidentally, the second one was also a male fan.

“Xiao Yu, I’m so happy I got connected with you.”

Ning Xiaoyu hummed.

The male fan’s voice sounded very young, it’s probably not too long when he became an adult. He was selected all of a sudden and he didn’t know what to talk about, so he could only make an awkward conversation, “Xiao Yu, you…… what are you thinking about right now?”

Ning Xiaoyu said honestly, “I’m thinking about eating.”

When the interaction was over, there would be a segment where the children would rate the guests. She guesses she would have to wait for a while for today’s dinner.

However, Ning Xiaoyu had always been a person who eats meals on time.

Letting her work without even a meal had led her to think only of food.

【Hahaha, it’s indeed a salted fish answer!】

【Hateful! Why is the program team starving our Xiao Yu?!】

【It’s indeed time for the salted fish king’s meal!】

The male fan continued to chat, “Then what do you want to eat?”

Ning Xiaoyu wasn’t picky. “I can eat whatever the crew gives me.”

【Salted Fish King is really honest, hahaha!】

【But these days while the two variety shows are collaborating, the food provided by the program team is really good.】

【Laughing to death. Our Xiao Yu is so not picky. Won’t the program team add a chicken leg for our salted fish king?】

Perhaps because they saw the comments from the audience, after the interaction ended, the program team did not mention anything about continuing. Instead, they let the guests have their meal first before moving on to the last segment.

The children weren’t that hungry but the program team gave them an extra egg custard, which was nutritious and healthy.

After eating, it was finally the final part. After the scoring ended, they could go back to their respective rooms and rest.

The director smiled and said, “Three days have flown by so quickly and it’s now time for everyone to part ways.”

Three days wasn’t long or short but it was enough for the children and guests to get familiar with each other.

However, children were very forgetful. Maybe they were still sad due to today’s parting, but after a few days or months, they wouldn’t even remember the person.

“After getting along during this time, do the children like the brothers and sisters who played with you? If you like them, you can give them a score between 0 and 100. I believe that the children have already learned arithmetic and know that the higher the score, the better. So now, please give the guests a score.”

【The scoring part is here!】

【Let’s see if any surprising scores come up.】

【There will probably be one, after all, the child assigned to Mu Jiajia is really difficult to deal with.】

【The little princess has been spoiled by her family since she’s a baby.】

【Speaking of little princesses, is that little girl better than Xiangxiang? But Xiangxiang is very well-behaved and sensible.】

【They’re different, completely different. Xiangxiang is President Huo’s only successor, how can she be bad?】

Under the eyes of the melon eating audience, the children gave their scores one by one.

And what they gave greatly exceeded the expectations of the audience.

【Baby Xiangxiang is really sweet! She actually gave two full marks!】

【Xiangxiang will definitely be an excellent domineering female president in the future! She’s really good!】

【I’m dying of laughter. Compared with Xiangxiang, what are the people next door doing? The little princess actually hit Mu Jiajia with a duck egg^[1]zero. Absolutely amazing.】

【The little princess’s temperament is really big and Mu Jiajia’s eyes are red with anger.】

【Ning Yuwei’s score is actually not high. This Xiao Wei looks well-behaved and polite, but I didn’t expect him to be a schemer.】

【Schemer +1. I always thought he got along well with the two guests, but I didn’t expect him to give a 60 passing score in the end.】

【Why are you talking about Xiao Wei? Isn’t it possible that Xiao Wei has seen the true faces of the two guests?

Ning Yuwei seems to treat Xiao Wei very well, but most of the time, she has no patience with Xiao Wei. Children are the most sensitive type of people. They know who is really good to them and who is insincere.

Honestly, I’m not surprised that Xiao Wei gave this score.】

【So our Xiao Yu is sincere to Xiangxiang and Xiangxiang also dotes on Xiao Yu? Perfect!】

Seeing the scores, the director was surprised.

So, not only was there someone who got a duck egg, but also full marks?

This gap seems a bit wide?

In view of the large gap of the guests’ scores, the director couldn’t say too much. In the end, he said a few words and this time, the dream collaboration of the two variety shows was brought to a close.

When returning to their room to rest, Shen Yueyue gossiped in Ning Xiaoyu’s ear, “Did you see the expressions of Ning Yuwei and Mu Jiajia? They look like they’ve eaten raw garlic. Their faces are extremely ugly.”

Ning Xiaoyu shrugged nonchalantly. “They don’t like those two children, and those two children don’t like them either.”

Although on the surface, Ning Yuwei and Mu Jiajia seem to be very fond of the children assigned to them, a closer look would reveal that the kind of niceness they’re showing was superficial and was only to give a good performance in front of the live camera.

Shen Yueyue glanced at Ning Xiaoyu in surprise.

She knew that Ning Xiaoyu was a salted fish, but she didn’t expect her to be a fully alive salted fish who could see through the essence of things at a glance.

Shen Yueyue joked, “So you dig a sand pit with Xiangxiang, make a hammock with her, and ride a tricycle together because you like her?”

Ning Xiaoyu said truthfully, “Half and half. Half is because I want to be lazy and the other half is because I think she has never been exposed to this kind of things so she should like it.” There’s no harm in experiencing new things.

This was taking into account both oneself and the children’s experience on the show. Although their presence wasn’t high, the final score of the two was the highest. Shen Yueyue couldn’t help but think that the salted fish king was indeed an insightful salted fish.

———

The next day, the guests and the children separated. Most of the guests of 《Hi, My Friend》 returned to Friends Lodge while Ning Xiaoyu went to the game company to discuss the endorsement of the farming game with the person in charge.

Both parties were satisfied with each other. Ning Xiaoyu was satisfied with her favorite game and the person in charge was satisfied with Ning Xiaoyu’s image and character. Therefore, the two parties signed the contract right away and chose to take endorsement photos on the second day.

Unlike the previous endorsement for the cosmetic brand Qingxin, this time, as soon as Ning Xiaoyu finished taking photos, the game company’s official Weibo immediately posted them.

In it, Ning Xiaoyu was wearing a salted fish hair accessory while holding a napa cabbage in her hand with carrots, cucumbers, papayas and other fruits and vegetables at her feet. Once it was released, it was actively forwarded by countless people. Looking at it, it seems that it has entered the public eye!
