Lu Xiaoqi wasn’t aware that he was cursed, but he did know that there was something wrong with his body.
Sitting backstage, he could clearly feel a strange heat surging up in his body. A voice appeared in his ears, saying, “Don’t you like him? Then take him and hide him. He shines. If you don’t do it now, he will escape from the palm of your hand and become someone else’s.”
Lu Xiaoqi lowered his eyelids and looked at Mo Gungun.
His face was expressionless, but his fingers trembled slightly when he touched the tiny panda ball. He nearly pinched the panda’s neck several times.
Lu Xiaoqi took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to normal, only a little more awe inspiring in the deep pupil.
Fifty contestants were backstage, including the chef in second place. They had all become the foil between the panda and the marshal.
People looked at this warm scene and couldn’t help crying.
The host had already started. Mo Gungun laid in Lu Xiaoqi’s arms and took out a fruit from his small bag.
Although it was a virtual platform, some of the panda’s real behaviors were caught and replicated. So the bored panda found his small backpack. This small backpack was exactly what he used at school, except it was completely different from other students’ bags. It was used to hold food.
Mo Gungun pulled out a fruit. Although the fruit wasn’t big, he couldn’t hold it with just one of his small paws.
With two furry little claws holding the fruit, Mo Gungun lifted it to his mouth and bit into it with a crisp crunch.
The people backstage could even vaguely smell the fragrance of the fruit.
The live audience couldn’t currently see the situation backstage, but they were still immersed in the scene from just now.
“I want to know what the little guy is doing now!”
“Did you hear that? What the marshal called him? I didn’t know his name until the marshal appeared.”
“I remember, he’s called Gungun! ~”
“His name is so cute. It's really true to him hahaha. Do you remember when the live broadcasts just started? Xiaoxiao always liked to roll around on the ground. His round little body was really like a ball! I didn’t expect the Marshal’s naming sense to be so humorous!”
“I didn’t expect to encounter the Great God. Come on, the Great God is going to perform! I wonder if I can roll up my tongue today. ”
“Ah ah! Is it the Great God? Hahaha, come on, support God Gungun! I want to cheer you on with my 1.8 meter long neck, Great God! May the Great God stay in first place! One meter eight, one meter eight! ”
“Pfft. This 1.8 meter long neck, why are you everywhere? Didn’t your neck break long ago? Why did the spring breeze blow again? Really. ”
The host of “Star” was still making his opening remarks in full spirit.
The director had been paying attention to the show’s ratings.
When he learned that their ratings had reached a new high, he fell into ecstasy.
The host announced, “The moment you’ve all been waiting for! The new rankings!”
The host dramatically raised his hand, “I declare that…” He paused. Seeing that everyone was nervous, he said, “You didn’t actually think I’d announce something did you?”
The audience, who were holding their breaths: “…………”
The host was amused as he adjusted the atmosphere. He didn’t say much and merely announced that the program was starting.
Names and photos began scrolling across the large screen.
In just 20 seconds, the order of the knockout round was decided. The audience craned their necks and up as they searched for th.
“Where is first place? Which one?”
When the screen began to scroll, Mo Gungun sat up straight and examined it attentively.
He searched through it all and found himself in the corner.
In the past he was the first performer, but this time he was the last.
The chef was in the middle, neither at the top nor the bottom.
After seeing when Mo Gungun was performing, many contestants let out a breath of relief and felt that their opportunity had come.
There were many opinions on this.
The ghosts had a very big opinion on it.
“What the hell! How come you’re the last to perform? It’s a waste of time. Just eliminate those people ahead of you! I have to go back to the building so I can jump down to scare people. I’m afraid I won’t make it if this show doesn’t hurry!”
“To think he’s the last one. I think my neck will become hemp rope by the time he performs.”
“Scare a few, make a few go crazy, find a couple of scapegoats, stick some beautiful ghosts to some contestants, and have some wronged ghosts pester others. Swallow the rest directly. Oh, I bet the ghost baby could eat a few pretty quickly.”
“……No one is going to listen to you.”
“Star” was considered an entertainment show, but it didn’t limit the contestant’s playstyles. It could be said that the contestants’ performances were diverse, and it was precisely because this diverse program broke convention that it attracted the attention of countless people. This program was the first of its kind to identify animals as contestants. The director had worked very hard to make sure the show was full of innovation and boldness.
During the last performance, Mo Gungun sat in the arms of the big monster.
He was very interested in the big monster’s fingers. His small paws pulled at the other’s fingers. If the big monster gently pinched his small paws, Mo Gungun would softly shout in complaint. His discontent appearance tickled the heart.
If the big monster ignored him, Mo Gungun would continue to play with his fingers for a while before he would take the initiative to rub against them.
After attracting the attention of the big monster, he would raise his head in a manner that screamed ‘I did nothing wrong’.
Even the contestants who previously held certain opinions on the animal contestant couldn’t help but soften their expressions when they saw such a clever little cutie. They especially couldn’t hold in their laughter when they saw the little guy using his little, human-like intelligence to play tricks.
Even the contestants who had some opinions on the animal contestants before could not help but soften their expression when they saw such a smart and cute little cute. Especially when they saw the little guy playing tricks and using his little intelligence, the contestants couldn’t help laughing.
Afterwards, when the reporter interviewed the contestants, several contestants gladly spoke up. After they saw Mo Gungun, they were attracted by his charm and became brainless fans of the panda. They not only supported him, but also openly showed their support for him to their own fans.

Mo Gungun looked at at him.
The chef felt his gaze. He glanced at him and couldn’t help laughing.
The chef said, “Little guy, I’m going on stage.”
Mo Gungun widened his eyes and nodded, “Mm! Mmm!”
His little body twisted and turned as two furry little claws waved, cheering him on with his unique movements.
The chef’s eyes flashed before showing a light smile, “Alright, I’ll do my best. When I come back, I’ll bring you delicious food, okay?”
Mo Gungun’s two black round ears shook as he gazed at him with his little round face.
Mo Gungun called to him a few times, as if urging him to go to the stage.
The chef laughed at the sight of the panda’s fluttering ears. He then politely nodded to Lu Xiaoqi before taking the box onto the stage. The necessary stage props were already set up in advance. The chef’s neither humble nor arrogant bearing as well as his appetizing food attracted many people’s attention.
Mo Gungun really liked the chef. The whole time the chef prepared food with a unique rhythm, the panda intently watched him without blinking.
Lu Xiaoqi pretended to be calm as he touched the panda’s ear with his fingertips.
Mo Gungun just shook his ears.
Was that it?
Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes darkened, and his unhappiness could nearly be seen.
He took a deep breath, removed an evil thought from his mind and prodded the ear again.
Gungun, why are you focusing on others?
Mo Gungun stared at the screen and salivated. His little paws pulled at the man’s disorderly fingers as he stared at the food.
Lu Xiaoqi’s fingers were pushed aside. His face darkened.
The feeling of depression suffocating his chest failed to dissipate and instead became stuffier.
Lu Xiaoqi poked him for the third time.
Mo Gungun turned a couple of times before laying down in a comfortable spot. He finally tore his eyes off the chef to the man.
Eyes full of confusion,Mo Gungun tilted his head and asked, “Mm mm?”
What happened?
Lu Xiaoqi was carefully observing the little panda. He found that the other’s eyes were still as clear as water, so naturally he had nothing to say.
Lu Xiaoqi gently kneaded the little ball’s round belly.
Mo Gungun went from confused to more confused.
But when his stomach began to feel comfortable, he narrowed his eyes and began to enjoy the big monster’s service. Even the chef’s performance was forgotten. The pressure of the message was just right, causing Mo Gungun to hum softly.
In everyone’s eyes, he was just too cute.
But Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes were dark, like two vortexes that would devour people.
Lu Xiaoqi thought of the human version of his family’s charming young man. If he touched the other’s belly, the other party would hum softly.
Thinking of this, the tips of Lu Xiaoqi’s ears flushed red undetectably.
His breath quickened. He loved him so much it hurt.
At the end of the chef’s performance, he went backstage and saw such a blinding picture of people being force fed dog food.
The other contestants stealthily glanced at the two with consternation in their eyes. The so-called stone-cold admiral was actually capable of such tenderness. It was completely unexpected.
The chef narrowed his eyes. A faint smile quickly formed on his lips.
After he sat down, he looked straight at the panda, his tone a little more brisk and expectant, “Little guy, I’m back.”
Once Mo Gungun heard him, he immediately opened his eyes wide.
A pair of black pupils stared at the chef. He couldn’t help licking his lips as he salivated.
Eagerness was written all over his face.
Lu Xiaoqi: “…………”
Lu Xiaoqi’s face turned black again, and his cold eyes swept towards the chef, but his unfavourable cold gaze didn’t affect the other.
The chef smiled and nodded to Lu Xiaoqi.
Lu Xiaoqi’s cold eyes sank.
The chef didn’t care about Lu Xiaoqi’s attitude. He lowered his head and gently stroked the little panda ball. “Little guy?”
Mo Gungun responded.
The chef handed the small box to Mo Gungun, “Here you are. It tastes good. If you like it, how about I make it for you next time?”
Mo Gungun’s eyes shining like the scattered stars in the night sky.
Lu Xiaoqi’s lips pursed into a straight line.
Mo Gungun was so happy that he could hardly set down the box in his arms. He sniffed it carefully and became even happier.
The chef smiled. “Do you like it?”
Mo Gungun nodded seriously.
As if the chef didn’t notice the low pressure emanating from Lu Xiaoqi, he smiled, “Then taste it.”
Then he turned to Lu Xiaoqi, “If your owner permits.”
Mo Gungun was taken by surprise and looked up at Lu Xiaoqi.
Lu Xiaoqi’s face was tight.
Mo Gungun finally realized that the big monster was in a bad mood. He tilted his head in doubt.
Mo Gungun’s little paw hooked onto the corner of his clothes, “Mmmm?”
Lu Xiaoqi couldn’t maintain his taut expression. He looked at the clueless panda and sighed.
His sigh was mixed with a trace of helplessness.
Mo Gungun had question marks floating above his head. Huh? Big Monster, what’s the matter?
Lu Xiaoqi stroked the panda and watched him swallow his saliva, but finally clenched his teeth and gave him the box, so he was not angry.
Question: What love is in the world?
Answer: Everything has it’s vanquisher.
At least in Lu Xiaoqi’s heart, he couldn’t refuse any requests from the little panda. As long as Gungun stared at him with his watery eyes, he would nod no matter how difficult the task was.
The big monster acquiesced.
Don’t roll. His pupils twinkled in an instant. He opened the small box and looked inside with his small head.
He was lovely.
Everyone backstage thought so.
The chef smiled and watched the two eat his virtual food.
Mo Gungun’s mouth wasn’t big, so he ate slowly. After some time passed, he finally ate the majority of it.
Because it was sweet, Lu Xiaoqi only tasted it symbolically.
The chef smiled, then let out a sigh, “It seems that my food can still be considered successful.”
Mo Gungun nodded again. It wasn’t just a success, it was amazing!
While they were eating, Moron 38 went on stage with a belly full of anger. He sullenly took a deep breath. Just you wait for him to be popular, then who cares about some marshal!
“Idiot 38” was still singing and dancing with a good rhythm.
The performance was commendable, but the audience’s mentality towards him had completely changed from before. It was thanks to the panda that he was still standing on the stage.
Yet he bullied the panda.
Even if you weren’t the panda’s fan, it wasn’t okay to bully the weak.
Moron 38, who enraged the general public, had a bleak support rate, no matter how good his performance was.
“Hehe, does he think I will support him? It would be too nice if I didn’t go into his computer and suddenly scare him to death! Wait for this Moron, get out of here Moron 38.”
“Although his performance is okay, in the entertainment industry, it’s nothing at all. It’s too unprofessional. Look, his voice cracked. The previous note wasn’t properly raised. What’s wrong with him? To think he still wants to be promoted, dream on.”
“I supported him only because the panda supported him. He bullied our little ball! In the future, as long as this bastard appears on the Internet, I’ll scold him at once!”
Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the monkey-like horse prancing around on the stage. The look in his eyes became increasingly obscure.
Mo Gungun took a big bite out of the sweet.
Lu Xiaoqi soothingly touched the panda’s head, “Don’t worry.”
He waved his hand, and the fierce ghosts who had been staring at the screen immediately understood.
Xiao Wen’s scarlet eyes held a cold glint, “It seems that there will be another interesting toy. The admiral just agreed that we can play with him at will.”
Sun Xiaoquan sneered, “Tut, what use is there in playing? Just get rid of him.”
Xiao Wen smiled, “Do you think the admiral will allow him to escape so easily after bullying Boss Gun?”
Sun Xiaoquan was rendered speechless.
He scratched his face, looked at the ghost baby and said, “Since we can’t openly beat him, just make him have bad luck. Throw that frog at him, and I don’t believe he will come back happily.”
The frog Sun Xiaoquan was talking about was the magic-devouring frog which had been placed under the watch of Zhang Lan.
Xiao Wen thought for a moment before looking at Zhang Lan.
Zhang Lan nodded. “It’s not a bad idea.”
And so, the future unlucky fate of Contestant 138 was easily determined by a few fierce ghosts.
The performances of the next few contestants were commendable. They weren’t amazing, but they all had their own advantages.
Mo Gungun was blissfully eating and watching the performances. Time flew by.
The chef smiled and said a word to the panda from time to time to get the panda’s head shake in response.
Lu Xiaoqi narrowed his eyes and looked at the chef. He was silent.
The chef asked, “Do you like baby bamboo shoots? What color?”
While Mo Gungun was trying to convey himself, the excited director came over, “Cough, Contestant No. 1, please prepare.”
After the director finished, he took a look at Lu Xiaoqi.
Lu Xiaoqi didn’t respond. The director couldn’t understand what he meant, so he asked, “Pardon me for asking Marshal, are you going on stage?”
Lu Xiaoqi was silent for two seconds. “Afterwards, I will bring Gungun back.”
In other words, he was only here to show his face, but he wouldn’t participate in the performance. The director nodded when he figured it out.
It made sense. After all, he was not only an interstellar hero, but also an honorary admiral and the successor of the last generation’s marshal. Him participating in the program wouldn’t be so much as pleasant as it would be grandstanding. The losses outweigh the gains, but if he just brought the panda back, there would be no such embarrassing situation.
He was merely supporting his panda as its owner.
Mo Gungun carried himself onto the stage with his short legs. He looked back at the man on the lookout stage.
Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes softened.
He nodded slightly.
Mo Gungun was greatly encouraged and flew to the stage, his small buttocks twisting as he ran.
When he reached the middle of the stage, the background changed, and it became a green bamboo forest.
Before it was a display counter full of all kinds of toy props, such as a rocking horse, slides, and other things.
In the most conspicuous place was also a fire ring.
Looking at the ring of fire, Lu Xiaoqi’s face turned black.
Although it was virtual, something as dangerous as the ring of fire should be thrown aside.
The chef smiled and shook his head. “The marshal raised the little guy well.”
Lu Xiaoqi was silent as he ignored the chef.
The chef didn’t care. He acted like he didn’t see the look in the other person’s eyes as he continued to say, “The little guy is very sensible.”
Lu Xiaoqi snorted coldly, but thought in his heart: What’s it to you?!
The chef continued to praise the panda. Lu Xiaoqi’s face had tightened to the point where he was on the verge of exploding.
Lu Xiaoqi truly felt uncomfortable. His panda was so intimate with a stranger for the first time. It shouldn’t be like that.
The chef smiled, “But with all due respect, you aren’t suitable for the panda.”
Lu Xiaoqi’s pupils constricted and his eyes flashed scarlet.
The chef was stunned and then said, “Marshal, your eyes…”
Lu Xiaoqi cast a sidelong glance at him, with a look so fierce it was as if he was looking at a dead man.
The chef’s expression became serious. He looked at Lu Xiaoqi and said, “Please give him up. I think there is something wrong with your body. You may injure him.”
Lu Xiaoqi’s low air pressure instantly sprung out.
Lu Xiaoqi coldly uttered, “Please, shut up.”
The chef wasn’t afraid of him. He didn’t even take the air conditioner seriously as he said, “He should stand at the top of the world.”
A trace of nostalgia flashed in the chef’s eyes.
He turned his head, “If you insist on not letting him go, please be prepared to be the enemy of the world. You know, your panda…”
The chef lowered his head and said softly, “Your panda is a miracle.”
Lu Xiaoqi’s pupils shrank.
He turned suddenly and stared murderously at the chef.
The chef’s voice chuckled in his ear, “Tell the panda for me, Admiral. Your body should be solved as soon as possible. Don’t let others exploit your weakness. Alas, the old man is urging me to go back and cook.”
Lu Xiaoqi’s eyes were cold and he looked in the direction where the chef was disappearing, his face gloomy.
The chef smiled lightly, “Don’t be angry with me. You are the one who is sick and needs to be treated.”
Lu Xiaoqi: “…………”
Ever since he first laid eyes on this man, he thought he was very annoying. Lu Xiaoqi had never hated a person so much.
The chef smiled and said, “Don’t get me wrong, what I said is true. Your disease is a terminal disease. No one can help you.”
Lu Xiaoqi: “…………”
It felt like this person was set up by someone. When facing the panda, this person wasn’t nearly this insufferable.
He’s too annoying.
Lu Xiaoqi took a deep breath and glanced at the chef. He wasn’t simple.
Him contacting the panda must have a purpose. His sight blurred.
He must kill all hidden dangers. Whether he was an enemy or a friend, he must have come to this program for some purpose.
And he knows something about Gungun.
Who was this person? What did he have to do with the sudden appearance of his evil thoughts?
Sora: I am dead and dying. See you tomorrow
Sora: I am dead and dying. See you tomorrow
See you tomorrow!
👋
Hahaha, the fate of contestsnt 138 was decided at the start. For bullying the panda, get out of the enterntainment cycle! I think the chef has some supernatural abilities, to see that Lu Xiaoqi was cursed and it may take his life. BUT that doesn’t mean that out Marshal will give the little cutie up!
Thank you for the chapter!!!

Thank you very much for the translation
Even the contestants who had some opinions on the animal contestants before could not help but soften their expression when they saw such a smart and cute little cute. Especially when they saw the little guy playing tricks and using his little intelligence, the contestants couldn’t help laughing. <- it’s kinda twice i the text.
Okay chef, who are you really? :’D
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
Alas, the old man is urging me to go back and cook.”
Old man? I hope this chef is good and the ‘old man’ he is referring to (sounds like his master) isn’t an enemy. And LXQ just misunderstood him since the chef said GunGun should shine so he should be an ally? And he is giving LXQ makes this for him to be aware that there is something wrong with him since the enemies think that LXQ still isn’t aware of his illness (curse).
A trace of nostalgia flashed in the chef’s eyes.
I think he should be a person of supernatural world or that he is actually also the same as GunGun as a yao (demon)? He seems to know about the pandas and said ‘top of the world’ meaning that the pandas before must been famous or something and this ‘chef’ witnessed it. Thus he must be an ally
