I will never give in to Miss Death

When I stepped on it, I suddenly slipped. The cart gained momentum and potential energy and launched itself out of the underwear section. After a beautiful drift, the N2O nitrogen accelerated it and it hit the glassware counter like a missile...

"..."

No, you absolutely cannot use this cart to get your clothes yourself.

In this situation, even if it is embarrassing, I can only go to the supermarket staff.

Pouting a little unhappily, I pushed the cart out of the living area in a depressed mood. I looked around and walked towards the two female staff members wearing supermarket uniforms who were chatting while sorting the shelves.

"Hello."

When I got closer, I said to one of the waitresses despite the fever on my face: "I...I want to buy the clothes over there, but I can't reach them."

"Little sister, you are so cute!"

The young lady whose attention I attracted instantly looked like a fangirl, as enthusiastic as a profiteer selling health products for the elderly who saw an old man in a wheelchair at the entrance of the community: "What clothes do you want to buy? Can't you reach them? Let me take you to have a look?"

Another young lady also looked at me in surprise: "This child is so cute! My God! Little sister, are you alone?"

"there……"

I pointed to the daily necessities and women's clothing area not far away.

"Then sister will take you there."

I waved to my companions with some pride, and the waitress I called took the initiative to help me push the cart: "Little sister, what's your name?"

Uh……

Name or something...what should I say?

You can't just do like in Detective Conan, pick up a book in the corner and say something like "My name is Conan, and I'm Bald Qiang who delivered letters to Black Tiger on the Green Grassland?", right?

"..."

Since I couldn't think of a name at the moment, I chose to remain silent.

"Are you here alone? Shopping for mom and dad?"

The waitress next to me didn't seem to mind that I didn't say her name, and she was still very enthusiastic: "Buying clothes?"

"Ah... yes, clothes."

I can totally understand how this young lady feels.

All jobs are boring. Whether you are a salesperson, a waiter or a programmer, your daily work is basically repetitive.

Imagine that if you are a salesperson and your daily task is to stand in front of the counter and watch the customers coming and going, suddenly one day a very cute little girl comes to ask you for help, or if you are a programmer who has been writing code in front of the computer for several months, a little girl comes to you and asks you about your work. I believe that no matter who you are, you will be fully alert at this moment and serve this little girl wholeheartedly.

It’s no problem to change the little Lolita here into a cute little cat. You can chat with cute girls and slack off for pay. Anyone will be happy.

Damn...that's why I didn't get this treatment before.

"I want to buy that."

I took the waitress to the women's underwear section and pointed to the children's underwear on the top and said, "The one on the far left, I want two."

That one has the lowest price, 12.8 yuan per piece.

After buying clothes, shoes and socks using the food delivery app, I still have about a hundred yuan left in my bank card. I will probably have to spend another seventy or eighty yuan to buy underwear, socks and some spare clothes later. The remaining thirty or forty yuan will probably be enough to last me a week.

Even if a novel is signed, it cannot be converted into cash immediately. All novel websites pay royalties once a month, and if you apply for withdrawals in the previous month, the money will be paid this month. That means if I sign a contract this month, I will have to wait until next month to get the money.

So, if tomorrow’s “rights protection” action fails, not only will I not be able to pay the rent, but even eating will be a problem.

"Come."

At my request, the waitress quickly helped me take down the two pieces of underwear, and also helped me check the model and size: "It is suitable for children between 1.3 and 1.5 meters tall...Is it this model?"

I nodded. “Yes.”

Although I can't reach there, my eyesight is still fine and I can clearly see the clothing sizes marked on it.

“And then there’s this side.”

I took the clothes and put them into the cart in front of me. Seeing that the waitress still looked expectant, I simply took her to the fat area on the other side.

"I want two... this, thank you."

"..."

No. 015 A bright smile rises in the rental house

I bought more than 80 yuan worth of goods in this big supermarket on the commercial street.

Two sets of underwear, two pairs of panties, and a set of changing clothes.

For panties, I chose a basic children’s style. It’s light pink and very cute. It has a small bow in the middle and the fabric is very soft.

Although as an "uncle" I am very resistant to such cute clothes, the cutest panties in the supermarket are the cheapest, so I have to endure it to save money.

Then for the top, I bought a T-shirt similar to the one I'm wearing, pure black with a white heart on the chest, very simple. For the pants, I chose a very ordinary pair of women's overalls jeans, for no other reason, just because they were cheap.

Maybe they had been in stock for a long time and couldn't be sold, so both the T-shirt and the pair of overalls were 40% off in the supermarket. When I saw the price, both pieces were only over 30 yuan, so I put them in the shopping cart without hesitation.

The rest were some small props and food that I thought I might use. There was a sale on noodles in the supermarket today, 10 packs for 3 yuan. I thought about buying fish to steam tonight, and the juice after eating can be put in the refrigerator and used as soup base for noodles tomorrow. Besides, noodles can be stored for a long time, and are a strategic material of almost the same status as rice, so I bought some.

In addition to these, I also bought a comb suitable for girls, shampoo and shower gel that were slightly less inferior, soft slippers suitable for my little feet, and so on. When I checked out, the total bill was over 80 yuan.

"Thank you for your patronage."

Coming out of the supermarket, I walked along the familiar path back to the urban village at the end of the commercial street.

At this time, the small village has returned to its former tranquility. The owners of snack bars, grocery stores, grain and oil stores, and fruit stores are hawking their wares on the street in various ways, mixed with many loudspeaker announcements such as "Two yuan for everything, only two yuan", "The boss has jumped off the building! Clearing out all stock!" and "Last day, only selling for the last day".

Ah...a little tired.

Carrying a large supermarket bag, I walked in this bustling urban village, occasionally transferring the items in one hand to the other to relieve the fatigue of that hand.

Girls’ bodies… I’m really not used to it.

If it were a man, let alone such a small amount of things, even carrying three more bags and running around would not be a problem at all.

Now I feel tired walking and carrying things.

This body is too weak...

Yes, it all comes down to the bad taste of the Grim Reaper.

Her purpose must be to see me being totally unaccustomed to a girl's body, and then complaining or looking sad, while she secretly laughs behind my back.

So I have to cheer up no matter what.

With this mood, I pretended to be indifferent and walked all the way from the pedestrian street to the urban village with a bunch of newly bought things. Then, in this small village, I left the alley with the crowds of people on electric bikes and bicycles who were going home from work. I waited for the traffic light for a while and returned to the third-floor apartment opposite.

Get ready to cook!

I used the password to open the door of the house, sorted out the things I bought, and roughly checked the quality. After confirming that there was no problem, I put on the newly bought girls' slippers, and then took my previous large slippers and casual shoes outside the door and placed them in front of the door very arrogantly.

I have turned into a little girl now. Although this apartment has security guards patrolling 24 hours a day and there are many cameras at the door, there will not be any security problems under normal circumstances. But I dare not bet on this probability - now this little Loli's body is so cute that I even want to push myself down, let alone those restless guys.

Putting oversized shoes outside the door is a warning to potential bad guys that there is a man in the house.

After doing all this, I closed the door, locked it, and went to the kitchen.

The blood of the fish I bought in the afternoon has been almost drained, and the cooking wine and ginger have been marinated. I processed it briefly and put it on the plate, then poured in the chopped tomatoes, added some salt, soy sauce, water, covered the lid and turned on the fire.

While steaming the fish on the induction cooker, I also washed the rice. After washing, I put it in the rice cooker and pressed the cook switch.

Roughly process the chayote seedlings and crush some garlic for later use.

Now all we have to do is wait for the steamed fish and rice to be cooked, then stir-fry the chayote sprouts, and heat up the cucumbers and tomatoes that we didn’t finish eating at noon.

After finishing all this, I wiped the sweat off my head, washed my hands, unpacked the clothes, pants, underwear and socks bought from the supermarket, took them to the bathroom and started rubbing them by hand.

It would consume too much electricity to use a small heater for clothes and pants. I will wear this outfit to the offline rights protection meeting for authors tomorrow. New clothes can be hung outside to dry directly after washing.

As for underwear... I'll find time to dry them with a small heater later like I did at noon.

It took me some time to wash all the clothes and hang them on the rack outside the window. I looked at the cute girls' clothes, thought about it, ran to the closet and took out a few shirts and trousers of the uncle and hung them up.

In this way, others from the outside will know that this rental house is occupied by "an uncle and his sister".

After washing the clothes, the steamed fish and rice were ready. I stepped on a small stool, put on special large gloves, moved the plate of fish to the dining table in the living room, sprinkled some chopped green onions, then picked up a small spatula and started to stir-fry the chayote seedlings.

Finally, I put the melon sprouts on a plate and the rice in a bowl. I heated up the cucumbers and tomatoes left over from lunch and brought them to the dining table. I put my phone on the phone holder that had been there for a long time, opened a video website, randomly searched for a video on how to write a "cool" novel, picked up my chopsticks and started eating.

This has been my habit for several years, watching some science videos on my mobile phone while eating.

Sometimes I watch Little John Khan and listen to him talk about some small African countries and the Tongliao universe, sometimes I watch Infinite Small Liang debunk the water monkey rumors, sometimes I watch Fanstaff explain the history of biological evolution, or Smart Roadblock's money-making gaming experience, or I watch Kaisa brag about his one-on-three APEX victory in the Starry Sky Cup, or watch Sion steal a tower in League of Legends.

——Brother, I'm giving away this wave, the kills are given to you brothers... I still have zombies, I still have zombies! One knife, two knives, three knives... eighty!

Occasionally I would click on some learning videos, such as learning to draw, learning how to make RPG games, learning how to edit photos with PS... Anyway, I can't be idle while eating.

"Before writing a book, you must first have a correct mindset. What is the biggest purpose of writing a book? To make money, to be happy! So is it shameful to cater to the market? It's not shameful. Look at those authors of niche literature. Some starve to death, some change careers, and in the end, aren't the ones who are left the same kind of white-sweet writers?"

"Just like businessmen, when they purchase goods, do they need to investigate the market? Do they need to study what the people need? You are a businessman, so you must do whatever business makes money, right? No businessman would go against money, right?"

"Okay, after getting your mind right, let's go straight into the first lesson, which is about establishing the character of the protagonist, arranging the plot conflicts, and creating the so-called 'cool points' and 'sense of anticipation'."

"Recently, many authors have come to me and asked me to help them with the golden three chapters. I want to say that there is no such thing as golden three chapters. Nowadays, readers will run away if they don't see the golden finger in the first chapter. You have to arrange the conflict in the first chapter and let the protagonist create a thrilling moment. In addition, the title and introduction of the book are the top priority of the whole book..."

"..."

I quickly finished dinner by listening to the video tutorial, rubbed my belly, took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them, and packed the leftovers back into the refrigerator.

I still didn’t finish my dinner this time.

I intentionally controlled the amount of chayote seedlings I bought, so I only had a little bit, which was just enough to satisfy my hunger. I also almost finished the remaining cucumbers and tomatoes from lunch, but as for the fish... I only ate one side.

But it doesn’t matter. You can put the other side of the fish and the juice into the pot to cook noodles tomorrow.

I turned on my computer and immediately opened the browser. I clicked on the author background of "Mi Gua Bao Light Novel" and a pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of me.

[Dear author, your work has passed the review and you can upload the chapters now]

Great, passed!

The next second after seeing the notification of passed review, I opened QQ, found the avatar of the "Rabbit" editor, and double-clicked it.

[Editor, my novel has passed the review]

Although the editor should have gone off work at this time, the rabbit editor still replied to me quickly: "Okay, I'll send you the signing link, go through the online signing, authenticate your phone and bank card, take pictures of the front and back of your ID card and upload them, and finally pass the facial recognition, then you can sign your name, it's very fast."

What?

Still need facial recognition?!

When I saw this message from the editor, I froze in front of the computer.

——Oh no, it’s over.

No. 016 Together here and there

[The camera is broken? Are both the front and back broken? ]

[Face recognition does not require high resolution, you just need a camera to work]

Less than ten seconds after I sent the message “Dear editor, my phone camera is broken and cannot use face recognition”, the editor’s reply came on the screen:

[Or you can borrow a mobile phone, either from your parents or friends, and just pass the verification]

With the development of the times, traditional paper contract signing has gradually become online signing.

For example, the apartment I am renting now does not even have a paper contract. After you find a house, the property manager will directly send you the website address for signing through the Internet. The website contains the contract they have drafted. After the tenant checks the contract and confirms there are no problems, he or she can just sign it with his or her mobile phone.

If you want to review the contract or request a paper copy in the future, you can also ask them to send the signed document to your email and print it out yourself at a printing shop.

Novel contracts were signed on paper a long time ago. The general process was that once your novel was noticed by an editor and the contract was confirmed, the editorial department would print out all the contracts that needed to be signed in the recent period on a certain day of the week, and then mail them to the author in duplicate. The author would sign both contracts, keep one for himself, print both sides of his ID card, and mail them back to the editorial department together with the other contract. After receiving the contract, the editorial department would notify the backend to change the status of the work to "Signed".

The first book I wrote on the Yaedo novel website several years ago was signed in this way.

However, there are two big problems with the paper contract signing method. The first is that it is very expensive. A large website can sign 50 to 60 authors a week, so they have to print 50 to 60 thick contract documents. It costs money to use a printer or go to a printing shop. These documents have to be mailed out separately. In order to prevent the contract from being lost, they usually send it by more expensive express delivery, which costs a lot of money again.

The second problem is that it is very time consuming.

The editorial department sends the contract out to the author. After receiving the contract, the author has to print his ID card. After printing, he has to spend money to send it by courier. If the round trip is slow, it can take half a month. If the item is lost, he has to sign the contract again.

So at that time I thought that online signing would definitely replace paper express signing in the future, but I didn’t expect that this thing also had the step of facial verification.
