Yu Yu, who has been in the industry for three years but remains neither popular nor notorious, senses that she might have to quit the circle and go back to manual labor soon.
However, before ...
Yu Yu has always believed that he lives in a scientific society, but he has also thought about the possibility of some inexplicable creatures.
If it showed up, she'd be scared, right? Of course she would. How could she not be? She's a human being, a well-behaved, down-to-earth citizen who loves her country. How could she not be scared when she saw a behemoth like that?!
However, the fact is... when Yu Yu saw those round eyes that did not belong to human late at night, he was indeed frightened.
But when she saw clearly what kind of creature it was that disturbed her sleep, uh, sorry, please forgive the big eater's pursuit of appetite, before she had time to feel afraid of such a thing, she was almost overwhelmed by her mind full of "I want to eat so much".
The octopus has a body of about 1.23 meters tall, and its eight legs are soft and fleshy. The overall color is not the usual dark gray color, but a little lighter than usual, with a fleshy pink feel. In short, in one sentence... it looks very delicious. In just a moment, Yu Yu's mind couldn't help but flash through many delicious cooking methods such as frying, stewing, frying, and deep-frying.
So, when Zhang Meng, who was also taking a light nap nearby, was awakened by the noise, he vaguely saw the man and the giant octopus staring into each other's eyes. Before he could scream, he was immediately deflated by a female voice. She said:
"Brother Zhang, what would happen if I ate this giant octopus? Would the country issue a wanted order for me?"
"No, wait, girl, please don't be so aggressive, okay? First of all, whether the country will issue some kind of wanted order or not, the biggest problem is, you actually want to eat! You actually want to eat?!
Zhang Meng felt his head was in a mess. If it weren't for his family upbringing that made him accustomed to keeping a gentleman's smile, he would have almost lost control and started shouting! He even had some doubts about what he heard.
"No, no... Girl, you want to eat this? It's huge..."
"Octopus? What's wrong? Can't we eat octopus?"
"No, no, octopus can be eaten, but how can you...eat one this huge?"
"Can't finish it? No, I can. I think it'll be enough for a full meal. After eating it, I think I can go hungry for a month. Besides, this octopus looks really delicious. Just those octopus legs, grilled directly on the fire and then smeared with barbecue sauce, will definitely be insanely delicious. And deep-fried ones also look good..."
"Fried? I think it would be better if it's grilled. I also prefer grilled squid. If it's fried, it won't be easy to absorb the flavor. It's also good for braising, stir-frying, or making seafood porridge."
"Hey, Brother Zhang, you're right. Let's not fry it. Let's grill it, braise it, or make seafood porridge. Let's go catch it now."
"Okay, let's go catch... catch? Wait, wait, no! No! This isn't right!"
Damn it! He was led into a trap by this girl without paying attention. Zhang Meng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Now wasn't the time to discuss cooking it to make it tasty, nor was it the time to discuss catching it! Normally, shouldn't we be determining whether such a massive creature was aggressive?
While this is just a giant octopus, haven't you seen disaster movies? Haven't you heard of monster legends? Among them are deep-sea giant octopuses, incredibly ferocious deep-sea monsters, some so terrifying they can devour a human in one gulp! Who knows what kind of octopus this one is? After all, its massive size clearly shows it's no ordinary edible octopus!
As for whether this giant octopus is dangerous or not, he couldn't let the only lady in front of him go. Although he felt that this lady might be more dangerous than the giant octopus to some extent, out of consideration for his gentlemanly education, Zhang Meng took several deep breaths and finally decided that he, a man, would take the lead.
Thinking of this, Zhang Meng pulled Yu Yu behind him, and with his other hand, he tremblingly grabbed the camera stand as a makeshift weapon, and took two steps towards the giant octopus.
But just after he took two steps, the huge octopus that seemed extremely docile suddenly became agitated. One of its tentacle swung out without warning. With a "snap", the tentacle brushed past Zhang Meng's front and hit the reef on the side directly. The force was so strong that the reef shattered into pieces in an instant.
Zhang Meng: What should I do if my legs suddenly feel weak? Should I just pretend to be dead? I hope I won't get whipped.
But in the blink of an eye, the huge octopus directly threw Zhang Meng aside, turned around and moved in another direction, and that direction was none other than Yu Yu's direction.
Zhang Meng was startled and yelled, "Yu Yu, be careful! It's coming towards you. It will attack... people."
However, the next moment, all the sounds stopped abruptly.
The huge octopus that looked ferocious and aggressive in front of Zhang Meng actually acted like a spoiled child in front of the fish.
Don't ask how Zhang Meng knew it. He just watched as the giant octopus' originally pink flesh color suddenly turned red when facing Yu Yu. The eight octopus legs shook excitedly and twisted to form a perfect heart shape.
Not only that, after forming a heart shape, the giant octopus seemed to remember something and stretched its entire body backwards, forming an octopus cake. It then used two of its legs to form a knife and fork, fiddling with it on its own octopus cake, and finally looked like, uh, 'you're welcome to pick it'...
Yu Yu: “…”
Zhang Meng: “…”
Suddenly, there was a moment of silence in the air. After a long while, Yu Yu spoke expressionlessly:
"Brother Zhang, I don't want to eat octopus anymore. I suddenly feel a little nauseous. I feel like I'll get an upset stomach if I eat it."
"..." Is this the point? Is this the point? The point shouldn't be this, the point should be why that giant octopus is so human-like? And it seems to be particularly fond of fish?
Speaking of which, what Yu Yu said was really hurtful. Just then she said that the other person looked delicious and she really wanted to eat him, but then she turned around and said that she didn't want to eat him anymore and that she would get a stomachache.
Is this any different from a scumbag who flirts with a girl and makes her look affectionate, but then turns around and says that she is ugly and not his type?
Didn't you see that giant octopus looking incredibly sad, like it'd been struck by lightning? Look, it's even crying!
Wait, crying? Where did the crying come from? It was just him and Yu Yu here, so where did the crying come from? If an octopus cries... will it make a sound?
Zhang Meng subconsciously exchanged a glance with Yu Yu, and they both saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
Yu Yu was the first to react. After all, although the appearance of this giant octopus looked scary, Yu Yu was not actually that scared.
It wasn't a question of whether she could defeat the giant octopus, but because she vaguely felt that the giant octopus would not hurt her. It was a very subtle feeling, as if she knew that the fish were really acting coquettishly and blowing kisses to her.
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Yu decided to go forward and take a look. He saw the huge octopus that had been spread out like an octopus cake. It was now covering its pair of round octopus eyes with several octopus legs and crying loudly. The sound it made was like that of a **-year-old child, a boy at that. It was crying so hard that the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. Its whole soft body turned red.
Then, the huge octopus's body seemed to evaporate, and it quickly became shorter and smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, it turned into a handsome mixed-race boy about ** years old in a cloud of water vapor.
The boy has fair and rosy skin, brown curly hair, and a pair of round light brown eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is a little boy with great potential in the future, but his eyes are just a little red from crying.
As if he knew Yu Yu was looking at him, the pretty little boy finally stopped crying, burped, and stubbornly stood up. He performed a fairly standard ancient aristocratic Western gentleman's salute, placing his left hand on his right chest, bowing, and said in a sobbing voice, "I am the new leader of the Octopus Clan. My name is Ah Ba. My king, welcome back. I am willing to follow you closely until death. Sister Sea King, are you willing to wait for Ah Ba to grow up and marry him?"
"..." Is there really something wrong with this octopus's brain? It's right not to eat it. Eating it will definitely upset your stomach! What about the Sea King? She is not a fish, where does the Sea King come from? She is also the King of Man! Yu Yu was silent with an indifferent expression.
"..." Sure enough, there's something wrong with this world. Even an octopus can turn into a boy? What else did he hear? Aquaman? Haha—and that proposal and vows just now, which was considered underage? Hmm... Zhang Meng felt that he really needed to read more scientific theory books and salvage his precarious values.
Ah Ba, who felt like he was really ignored by his own king, was serious for less than three seconds before his eyes turned red and he started crying loudly again. He cried so hard that Yu Yu was at his wit's end. It was not until late at night that they finally reached some kind of secret agreement after repeated bargaining.
So, at noon the next day, the production crew came to pick them up by boat. When they saw that the two were completely safe and sound, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, they couldn't help but look at the beautiful, flesh-pink octopus, half the size of a basketball, lying on the fish's shoulder. They couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Yu Yu, what is this, an octopus? Did you catch it? Are you planning to use it as a snack?"
"Snack? No." Yu Yu glanced at Ah Ba, who was clinging to her shoulder and refused to leave, and said seriously, "No, you can't eat this octopus. You'll get sick if you eat it, for sure."

The author has something to say: I'm a bit busy today, so I probably won't update later. If I do, it will be very late. Don't wait. Read it tomorrow.
By the way, I would like to recommend my next-door pre-collected article "It's better to plant a field than to compete for favor":
The seriously ill mother warned him desperately before she died: Wen He, you are my gentle child, the first child of the Gu family, you must fight for your place and get back what you deserve, don't let that vicious woman take away everything you deserve.
The charlatan grandfather, whose time was approaching, sighed again and again in front of his sickbed: Wen He, the Gu family really owes you. Just ask your father for anything. It’s time for you to take back everything you deserve.
Wen He, who was brought back to the wealthy Gu family after many years, felt that her deceased mother and grandfather were right. However, she looked at her hysterical stepmother, then at her biological father who was hesitant for a long time and couldn't utter a word, and then at her so-called half-sister who was sarcastic.
Wen He suddenly thought: Emmm... She'd be stunted if she stayed in a home like this. For her health and to win favor... why not start farming? Grandpa's collection of ancient books seemed to contain a lot of magical planting methods.
So, half a year later, a piece of land that was originally very desolate suddenly became popular. Countless wealthy people and local tycoons flocked to it. It was rumored that the fruits and vegetables there were grown by gods, and eating them could bring good fortune and prolong life!
