Chapter 880: Chapter 858: Interstellar Superstar 28
After ending the call with Li Wanwan, Anning called Cui Zhengxun.
Cui Zhengxun has already quit his job and is staying at home to cultivate himself.
He has long thought it through that when Anning goes out to work, he will follow her and serve as her assistant, handling some work-related matters for her.
As for the living expenses at home, Cui Zhengxun and Li Wanwan have saved enough money over the years, which is completely sufficient for living.
Moreover, Cui Anlin and Cui Anning have already been making money, and their earnings are enough to cover their own expenses without needing to ask their parents for money. Sometimes, Anning even buys things for Cui Zhengxun and Li Wanwan.
Cui Zhengxun simply thought of it as retiring early.
Upon receiving Anningās call, Cui Zhengxun smiled: "Ningning, whatās up? Missing home?"
"Yes."
Smiling, Anning nodded: "I miss Dad. Iāll be back in a few days. Dad, I want you to help me find something."
"What is it?"
Cui Zhengxun asked quickly: "Send the information to me. I will definitely find the best for you."
Anning sent some materials to Cui Zhengxunās main computer: "I want to make some musical instruments. These are the main materials needed, Dad, please find the best quality for me."
After receiving the information, Cui Zhengxun looked it over and memorized it: "Alright, leave it to Dad."
After ending the call, Cui Zhengxun immediately messaged some friends asking them to help find the materials.
Cui Zhengxun has many friends, and their networks are especially extensive. Once he started, the speed of finding things was exceptionally fast.
In the interstellar era, everything is fast; even if these things need to be found on other planets, they can be transported within just a day or two.
Anning stayed at the Xiao Family for another two days, and everything she needed was delivered.
Anning then bid farewell to Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Mei.
Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Mei were quite reluctant to let her go.
Especially Xiao Mei, she got along very well with Anning in those days, often chatting for most of the day.
She really liked Anning a lot, and was quite sad about her leaving.
"Sister Ning, canāt you stay for two more days?"
Smiling, Anning patted Xiao Meiās head: "I have some matters to attend to back home. Be good, Iāll come back in a few days."
She also spoke to Mrs. Xiao: "Marshal Xiao is stable now and should be fine for a few days. Iāll come back in a few days."
Although Mrs. Xiao was reluctant, she understood that Anning was a guest and not a member of the Xiao Family. Certainly, they couldnāt prevent her from returning home.
"Alright, give my regards to your parents. They are welcome to visit anytime, and you should come by often if you have the time."
Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Mei together saw Anning off.
Cui Zhengxun sent a spacecraft to pick Anning up.
Anning boarded the spacecraft to go home.
The Cui familyās mansion wasnāt far from the Xiao familyās. It was in the same district, so Anning reached home soon after.
Once home, she didnāt even bother to freshen up or change clothes and went directly to the material room.
The room was already filled with various materials that she had asked Cui Zhengxun to find for her, such as parasol wood for making lutes, bamboo for making flutes, and red spider silk for making strings.
After entering, Anning closed the door and started creating.
She not only created but also started a livestream.
Anning did not hide; she boldly initiated the livestream.
She is very famous now, and as soon as the livestream started, countless fans flooded in. Within minutes, the livestream room was full of people.
The platform immediately expanded Anningās livestream room and pinned it on the Star Network for repeated broadcasts.
With this move, over a billion viewers instantly crowded into Anningās livestream room.
Sitting in the material room, Anning smiled and held parasol wood and some tools: "Hello everyone, itās been a while."
Immediately, fans greeted Anning.
"Sister Ning, what have you been up to these days? We really miss you."
"Sister Ning is awesome, whatās she going to do?"
"Sister Ning, why did you exit the game early?"
Questions flashed across the comment section one after another.
Soon after, fireworks sparkled on the screen, and several starships flew across it.
Seeing this, Anning laughed.
These were starships rewarded by Chu Ming.
After the reward, his name was pinned at the top among the fans in the livestream room.
Chu Ming quickly messaged Anning: "Sister Ning, I couldnāt find you these past few days. I also donāt have your contact info. Can I have it, please?"
Anning privately messaged Chu Ming her contact information.
After Chu Mingās reward, Ma Fendou, Ning Kexin, and He Gang each rewarded a dozen or so starships.
Anningās livestream room became even livelier.
Anning replied one by one and gave them her contact info, then she talked to the fans.
"Iāve read some books excavated from the Mother Star and have always been interested in Huaxiaās ancient musical instruments. Now that I finally gathered the materials, I want to make an instrument. Can anyone guess what Iām going to make?"
As she spoke, her hands never stopped, starting to make the panel.
Anning crafted with great attention to detail, her fingers deftly moving. What seemed to be the repetitive act of carving the panel was turned into something beautiful by her, leaving the fans in the livestream room unfazed by any tedium.
Soon, the luteās panel took shape in her hands.
"What is this?"
"Does any history major know what this is?"
"I just wonder if thereās anything Sister Ning canāt do?"
"With unbelievably high spiritual power, outstanding computer skills, mastering martial arts, medicine, robot-making, skilled with all sorts of tools, excellent singing, superb acting, can dance, play musical instruments, and now makes them too. Sister Ning is truly omnipotent."
"Next to Sister Ning, I, who thought I had some abilities, feel utterly defeated."
"Defeated as well."
"Sister Ning, what on earth is it?"
Looking at the comments section, Anning laughed: "Any history buffs should be able to recognize it by now; itās an ancient musical instrument, the lute."
"Oh my god, itās a lute!"
There were history majors in the livestream room, and once they heard Anning say it was a lute, they couldnāt help but exclaim.
"Expert, tell us more about the lute."
Many fans had little knowledge of history and knew next to nothing about these ancient instruments from the Mother Star.
The history major then began to give a brief introduction, not only about the lute but also other ancient instruments.
The fans were quite interested, constantly messaging Anning: "Sister Ning, we want to hear the lute played."
The history major also asked Anning: "Sister Ning, do you know how to play the lute? Ever since I read some texts, especially after reading āThe Song of the Lute,ā Iāve had a keen interest in lute music. If you can play, could you perform a piece once itās made?"
"Please play."
"Please play."
The comments flooded with requests for Anning to play a piece.
Anning smiled: "Of course, I plan to livestream regularly from now on. Once the instrument is made, Iāll play all sorts of musical instruments for everyone. Iāll also make tutorial videos for those who want to learn."
As soon as she said those words, the screen was filled with various gifts, obscuring her face.
There were starships, spaceships, and many other flying crafts continuously flying by.
Aside from the ships and crafts, there were also endless bouquets.
Some fans rewarded 1,314 bouquets, some 520 stars.
The wave of rewards was so overwhelming that it took several minutes before the screen cleared back to show her face.
