My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 641 - 216: Mixed Lamb Soup (Part 1)_2
Turning back into the house, Miao Miao went straight upstairs. Her room wasn’t small, and there were still quite a few books piled up from the luggage she brought back from Blue Star University. She started organizing her room slowly, which would likely take most of the afternoon.
Du Xixi nodded to 2569, and 2569 understood, following Miao Miao upstairs to help her tidy up. When it comes to organizing rooms, it was definitely quite handy, but following Miao Miao probably meant it would just help place some of the heavier items. The specific layout still needed to be decided by Miao Miao herself.
Yiyi and Er Er needed their afternoon nap; it was just the right time after a meal, so Ke Xing took them upstairs. These two kids didn’t really need much coaxing to nap; just having someone accompany them was enough. Thus, Du Xixi suddenly found herself free, leaning on the sofa with a yawn, though not feeling sleepy, just a bit bored.
The movies and TV dramas playing on the TV didn’t interest Du Xixi. The ones she used to find interesting, she had already watched multiple times. The new content seemed unsatisfactory to her in every way, so she simply turned off the TV and switched to her Light Computer.
Du Xixi’s slender, beautiful jade-like fingers swiped a few times on the virtual screen of the Light Computer. Today’s top trending list didn’t have anything explosive. Even Blue Star University’s closing ceremony ranked in the top ten, and quite high up at that. It seemed like netizens really had nothing better to do.
Du Xixi sighed, just contemplating that she might go upstairs to try and induce some drowsiness and take a long nap, when suddenly she noticed a blinking red dot in the friend list at the bottom right—it was a friend request notification.
"Oh?" Du Xixi was a bit surprised. Her Light Brain Number had always been known only to close acquaintances, so her friend list would always hover around less than twenty people. She hadn’t given her number to anyone recently, so how did this newly added person find it? Did one of her friends leak it out? No way...
With a hint of curiosity, Du Xixi went to check who wanted to add her as a friend. Upon clicking, she found it was indeed someone she didn’t know. However, it wasn’t through any of her friends that this person was added—an internal person from the Star Network Planning Department.
Being an insider at the Star Network naturally meant they could easily know anyone’s Light Brain Number. From a completely correct perspective, this person adding Du Xixi on the Light Brain was entirely an act of "using insider connections".
Du Xixi clicked her tongue lightly and accepted this new friend request. The Star Network is essentially a public system of an interstellar nature, not belonging to any one power or organization. Even the sporadic recruitment it does every year has no threshold, wholly selected "at will" by the Star Network.
She remembered seeing a post on the Star Network before. The one now specifically in charge of the Blue Star Empire’s Star Network Area was initially just a janitor at the Blue Star Empire Military Department, sweeping grounds for over a hundred years, mastering the skill entirely with his broom.
Later, this janitor was recruited into the Star Network job. It seemed the notification came while he was sweeping, and he resigned the same day to join the Star Network.
Du Xixi was quite curious about how the Star Network was created, and even more curious about the person behind it, but these weren’t things she needed to think much about. She had already opened the chat box and started a conversation with this Planning Department Head.
"Du Xixi": Hello, may I ask if there’s something you need from me?
On the other side, it seemed they hadn’t expected Du Xixi to be so straightforward. After hesitating for a moment, they sent a response.
"Star Network Planning Department Head": Hello, Miss Xi Xi. I am the Planning Department Head of the Star Network. Adding you as a friend, there is something I hope you can help with.
