Crowdfunding to Raise Chicks: If Line

As the only little one on Earth, Ling Lu was born from the planet's core in a blaze of fire. He was a bona fide concrete chubby chick, a total landslide of cuteness.

Unfortunately, his daddy Earth was flooded by the sea. Before Ling Lu could grow up enough to boast about his dad, he had no choice but to freeze the planet and sit tight on Earth.

A chubby chick left behind, waiting until his eyes nearly fell out.

Then one day, his System was turned into a "Crowdfund a Chick App" and launched onto the brain-computers of interstellar citizens... From then on, Ling Lu lived a lazy little chick's life, getting "handouts" every day.

In the snow, the chubby "white chick" was buffeted by the cold wind and went splat... landing face-first in the snow, then rolling around until he was covered in slush.

The interstellar public: So pitiful! Add funds! Buy the chick the thickest winter clothes! Pour your money in!

The chubby chick struggled to his feet and patted his belly with a wing.

A band of space pirates: The chick's hungry. Raid an interstellar hotel, got it?

The chubby chick huffed and puffed as he dragged a sled full of stuff back to his cave.

Ding! The Interstellar God of War has air-dropped a luxurious home and a reindeer sled for you, and sent a video call invitation.

Ling Lu stretched out a wing and poked hard at the answer button, tilting his head to look at the screen.

The next second, a man in a pure black military uniform, far away among the stars, frowned slightly and stared at the... round, chubby chick sitting on his bottom in the snow at the center of the screen. After a second's thought, he said casually, "Lulu, you forgot to dye your belly."

"QAQ!" Ling Lu, who had forcibly dyed himself white to hide that he was a little fireball, hurriedly covered his magma-colored belly and clumsily turned away, trying to hide himself.

The 7.8 billion chick-raisers: Well, well! Who did this? Who gave the chick such a terrible idea? How dare you dye my baby!

[This story is an alternate timeline of the author's older work, Crowdfund a Chick App. In this version, the chick stays on Earth and is raised through supply drops from interstellar people. The male lead isn't injured or confined to a wheelchair, and the story focuses on daily life raising the chick.]
