Married a Big Cat After Transmigrating to the Interstellar Era – CH12

Chapter 12

[A big shot has appeared! These gifts together are worth half a year of my salary! Here to pay my respects!]
[Why are there only hands? Isn’t the streamer showing their face?]
[What’s this livestream even about?]

As more and more people gathered, Shi Xiaowang adjusted the camera and appeared on screen.

“Hello everyone, I’m a new streamer in the plant category. Here, I’ll share with you the entire process of plants growing and blooming. The livestream will be open all day. The plant I’m growing this time is a rose, and I hope we can witness its blooming together.”

Shi Xiaowang curved his eyes in a smile, made a brief self-introduction, and then imitated what he had seen other streamers do:

“Many thanks to Brother M for the gift. It’s my first time seeing such a beautiful special effect—I really like it.”

[Wait, what did the streamer say? Bloom? Has he lost his mind from receiving the gifts? Not even the research institute would say this.]
[Who gave him the courage? The little duke?]
[The little duke never said he could make plants bloom either. Riding the plant category’s popularity isn’t supposed to be like this.]

The chat was still filled with skepticism, but occasionally some comments wandered off-topic:

[Well, dreams are dreams. He didn’t promise it would bloom. Compared to that, I just want to see this gift effect. I’ve watched many livestreams, but it’s my first time seeing this holographic gift.]
[I’m different. I just want to see the streamer’s face. My instinct says someone with such beautiful eyes can’t have an ugly face. Why wear a mask! Not friendly to face lovers!]
[Hand fetish satisfied, plan to stay permanent.]
[Voice-controlled permanent +1.]

Those few comments made Shi Xiaowang laugh.

“I’m not planning to show my face for now, but maybe later I will.”

[Later? When?]

“Hmm… when the flowers bloom.”

Shi Xiaowang blinked, tilted his head, and said, “So everyone needs to have some faith in our little rose baby, so we can all see what we want to see.”

[Ah! Has the little rose sprouted today?]

Soon, some viewers played along in the chat.

“No, today the little rose baby is still backstage, getting dressed up, preparing for a grand debut.”

Shi Xiaowang laughed and played along.

[Then can the streamer make a grand debut in place of the little rose baby today?]

“Nope.”

Shi Xiaowang feigned a serious sigh, raising his hand to gently pat the flower pot.

“Today, the streamer still has to coax the child to go out and meet people.”

The chat erupted with laughter, softening the initial skepticism and mockery, slowly turning the atmosphere harmonious.

Watching the interaction on screen, Jian Mo also smiled.

Then a few more gifts were sent, along with a couple of red envelopes, and the chat was filled with “The boss is generous!”

Shi Xiaowang, overwhelmed by the wealth, couldn’t remain calm.

“Brother! You don’t have to use divine powers! No need to spend so much!”

[Don’t like these gifts?]

M sent a chat message.

“No, no, I really like them!” Shi Xiaowang quickly explained.

“But they’re too expensive; you don’t need to send so many at once.”

After all, he wasn’t here to make money.

[Oh, then forget it for today.]

M said.

[Continue tomorrow.]

Huh?

Shi Xiaowang froze.

No, that’s not what I meant…

[Hahaha, I thought the gifts were the streamer trying to boost the channel himself. Now I see, it’s a real big shot. The kid is stunned.]
[The streamer really won’t show his face? Brother M sent so much, there has to be some benefit, right? I’m securing benefits for him.jpg]

Shi Xiaowang wagged his index finger.

“Nope. I can’t steal the little rose baby’s spotlight. On the day she makes her grand debut, I’ll definitely show my face!”

[I’m looking forward to that day.]

Seeing M’s comment, Shi Xiaowang paused. That sounded familiar.

[Wow!]
[Just because of Brother M’s comment, I’m staying! I want to see how this develops.]

A bunch of hype comments flew by, pulling Shi Xiaowang’s thoughts back.

“Then let’s all look forward to it together.”

Shi Xiaowang smiled and said,

“Okay, I need to continue tending the little rose baby. During work, I might not respond to comments immediately, but I’ll mark the time periods and chat with you during free time. Hope you understand.”

The livestream went smoothly, putting Shi Xiaowang at ease.

Aside from midday and evening breaks, he rarely spoke. He was either tending to the newly planted roses or preparing uncontaminated nutrient soil.

Keeping this routine for several days, viewers seemed unbothered by his quietness.

Some treated it as an online chatroom, moving from topic to topic. Others used it as background white noise for studying or working, saying that seeing Shi Xiaowang’s focus improved their own efficiency.

Some viewers came specifically in the evening, waiting to see “What new gift effect has Brother M developed today?” and chatting playfully with Shi Xiaowang.

With steady growth in followers and substantial gift income, it wasn’t long before the platform noticed Shi Xiaowang and sent a contract offer.

That night, back in his second-floor residence, Shi Xiaowang finally looked at the contract.

The contract didn’t conflict with his purpose for streaming, so after some thought, he signed it.

After all, independence was inevitable. It was like giving himself a job—so that later, leaving the Marshal’s Mansion, even without a duke’s stipend, he could support himself.

Thinking of this, he remembered Brother M at the top of the leaderboard.

During recent livestreams, whenever Shi Xiaowang appeared on camera, Brother M was always in the room. He never missed a gift, and seemed to be a reserved person who didn’t speak much, even after sending gifts, he didn’t ask for anything from Shi Xiaowang.

Shi Xiaowang couldn’t help feeling spoiled, even though he hadn’t shown his face.

Brother M was a great philanthropist, he thought. Just like the Marshal of the house.

Remembering Jian Mo, Shi Xiaowang realized he hadn’t contacted him for a long time.

Opening Jian Mo’s chat, the last message was still “He has money.”

He has money. M has money.

He was surrounded by wealthy big shots.

Tsk tsk. Lucky him.

Looking up, he saw Jian Mo’s last message:

[I’m looking forward to the day the flowers bloom.]

Shi Xiaowang paused.

Hadn’t Brother M said something similar?

Jian Mo… Brother M…

…Hmm?

Could it be?

Shi Xiaowang hesitated for a while, then tentatively messaged Jian Mo:

[It’s been a long time since we last spoke. Sir, have you been busy lately?]

[I’ve already conducted several experiments. There’s no mistake—the nutrient extract from those plants you provided can completely control mental contamination. Previously, I could only slow the pollution, but this can fully suppress it. Do you know what that means?]

In the study, Meng Zhan was excitedly video-calling Jian Mo.

“I plan to conduct clinical trials next and include you on the test list. You won’t refuse, right?”

[Of course.]

Jian Mo’s expression was equally intense.

After the war victory, this was probably the most shocking news across the galaxy.

The soldiers, the federation’s future, and the old marshal…

Jian Mo thought of many things, but most of all, he felt respect and pride for Shi Xiaowang.

Seeing Shi Xiaowang’s message pop up, Jian Mo’s eyes softened with joy.

[Good timing, I just video-called Meng Zhan.]

Jian Mo replied, sharing the good news he had just received:

[He extracted from the plants you gave him a solution that completely suppresses mental contamination. He’s planning to use it clinically. This effect has never existed before.]

[Really!]

Seeing this, Shi Xiaowang instantly forgot about M, and got excited too.

[Then can it also suppress Berserk Syndrome?]

[Of course. They’re essentially the same issue.]

Jian Mo confirmed.

Hearing this, Shi Xiaowang jumped for joy in the greenhouse.

[Great!! I’ll send all my future plants to the research institute. This way, everyone will get better, right?]

[Yes.]

Jian Mo looked deeply toward the greenhouse and said sincerely:

[You’re a miracle, Xiaowang. Knowing you is my luck.]

Reading this, Shi Xiaowang couldn’t hide his smile. The Marshal really knew how to compliment.

If he had a tail, it would be spinning like a propeller.

But he still politely replied:

[Not at all. Sir, you’re the strongest! Without you, I wouldn’t have awakened this ability. I’m just glad to help.]

Jian Mo smiled.

[I’ll cooperate with Meng Zhan from now on. I hope we won’t disappoint you.]

[No, no! How could I be disappointed? If I can’t help, that’s my problem!]

Shi Xiaowang chuckled and continued agreeing, then seriously added:

[I’ll also work hard to cooperate with everyone!]

[Good.]

Shi Xiaowang collapsed on his bed, a smile lingering on his lips.

After a while, he remembered why he had messaged Jian Mo today.

It seemed Jian Mo had been busy with Meng Zhan on the potion experiments and probably hadn’t watched his livestream at all.

So Brother M must be someone else.

Thinking this, Shi Xiaowang sat up.

Since they were supporting him unconditionally, he needed to respond in kind.

Growing flowers didn’t require staying in the greenhouse all the time. Once everything was in order, he only needed to water and care for them daily; the rest could be left to the little roses. Even with mental power support, plants needed space to grow.

Originally, he planned to take a two-day break after establishing a routine to visit Jian Da Meow, but now, with a signed contract and Brother M’s extravagant support, he needed to be more serious.

Luckily, some wood had been left over from building the greenhouse. Shi Xiaowang measured the pieces, selected a few suitable ones, and brought them to the livestream hall downstairs the next morning.

Looking at the screen, Brother M was already in the livestream room.
