Chapter 157

After watering and fertilizing the plants and picking the new fruits, and waiting for the cubs to process the ingredients for today, everyone received a small bowl of soft, sweet and fragrant lotus seed soup.

They came out of the kitchen holding lotus seed soup and sat in a row on the steps in front of the lobby on the first floor of the nursery.

Ran Lie also went back to his room, changed back into human form, put on new cub clothes, and then put some scattered things into the spirit storage bag.

He didn't have much "property". Apart from two sets of cub clothes, there was only the tea he got from Xuewei, and paper and pen for practicing writing.

Although there were not many things, he was no longer as extreme and stubborn as before. He held a peaceful and stable mood, looking forward to one day in the future, he could fill the spirit storage bag given to him by his brother A Yan.

After processing the ingredients, the boy held his bowl of lotus seed soup and sat in a row on the stairs with his friends.

The freshly cooked lotus seed soup was emitting bursts of hot steam. It was stewed until it was soft, sweet and melted in the mouth. When the cubs tasted the first bite, they all showed expressions of enjoyment.

It’s so delicious!

Even Xuewei had never tasted such delicious lotus seed soup.

She didn't know if it was because time had changed or because she had worked on all these foods, but she felt that except for the nutritious frozen dishes, everything was delicious.

It was better than anything she had ever eaten before!

and……

Thinking that her wife had recovered and would soon come to the brooding center to see her, she felt relieved and found imported food even more delicious.

As for this planet being dangerous...

The master is so powerful, he will definitely protect the lady! What's more, Xuewei stole a glance at Xiao Lihua and Xiangyang beside her. If the lady and the master knew of their existence, they would definitely rush over regardless of everything, right?

Little Lihua didn't know what Xuewei was thinking. She scooped up the lotus seed soup with a small spoon and ate it with a red face, looking very satisfied.

"Brother!" she cried crisply, "This soup is so delicious~"

Rong Heng nodded, scooped a mouthful from his own bowl and fed it to her. After his sister had finished it, he continued to eat the rest of the food in the bowl.

Lu Jiao and the others were concentrating on eating their own portions. Even Xiao Zhengxing was holding his bowl and eating slowly with a small spoon.

When Guo Hui, escorted by the action team, braved the red fog and arrived at the nursery, as she walked in from the gate, she saw the cubs sitting in a row in front of the nursery building, holding small bowls and eating quietly.

I have to say, this is really...

So cute that it makes your heart melt!

Who wouldn’t like a cub that looks so well-behaved and cute?

After yesterday's battle, the children in the brooding house were considered to have become famous, so when they saw that they did not stay in the room but sat freely on the steps to eat, no one thought there was anything wrong.

Of course, when the cubs saw so many unfamiliar adults appear at the door of the nursery, their originally relaxed state suddenly became tense.

They quickly finished the lotus seed soup in their bowls, then put down the bowls, stood up one by one, and looked at Guo Hui and the others vigilantly.

This was the first time so many strangers came to the nursery.

It was Xun Xiaoyu, who came with the team, who took the first step. She walked out of the team, squatted down next to the children, and looked them in the eye.

"Children, where is Zookeeper Su?" she asked softly.

"What are you going to do?" Ran Lie considered himself the oldest among them, so he took a step forward and stood in front of all the cubs in a protective posture.

Although they had just fought side by side yesterday, if these adults wanted to harm the cubs, Ran Lie would not hesitate to show his sharp claws to them.

Seeing Ran Lie's hostility and the uneasiness of the other cubs, Xun Xiaoyu quickly said, "Don't get me wrong, we're here today to discuss the matter of permanent employment with Keeper Su."

In the past, it would have been impossible to make such a big fuss about a trainee breeder becoming a regular employee, or even being admitted early as an exception. But after what happened yesterday, no one dared to neglect breeder Su anymore.

Naturally, they must also show due courtesy and sincerity to the strong.

"Convert to a regular employee?"

Upon hearing this, the cubs' eyes lit up.

The keepers have a probationary period, which the cubs all know. In the past, it was rare for a keepers to stay in the nursery for the entire probationary period.

They have also been worried that Susu will leave the nursery and leave them in the future.

"Are you going to let Susu stay?" The little white deer raised his hand and said, "After becoming a regular employee, can Susu stay in the nursery forever?"

Xun Xiaoyu was inevitably a little surprised to hear the children calling Su Ci so affectionately, but she nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, we came here this time to persuade Keeper Su to stay at Base 24."

Of course, several other departments are eager to recruit Su Ci, especially the cultivation garden and the action team, but it still depends on Su Ci's own wishes.

At least this breeder Su did teach the cubs in the nursery very well.

After understanding the purpose of Xun Xiaoyu and the others' visit, the cubs instantly lost their hostility and even smiled.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you must convince Susu to stay. Please!"

The little white deer even grabbed Xun Xiaoyu's sleeve and acted coquettishly to her in a soft and sweet voice.

Just tell me, who can resist such an adorable cub!

Xun Xiaoyu tried hard to control herself, but her voice couldn't help but become choked. She said, "Don't worry, I will try my best to convince him."

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu!" said the silver-haired little boy sweetly.

Under his lead, other children followed suit. Xun Xiaoyu felt so happy that she fainted when she heard the calls of "Sister Xiaoyu" one after another.

Of course, what surprised her most was the cool and domineering red-haired boy who, after his companions finished speaking, folded his arms and said reluctantly, "Thank you."

Although I was already touched by the Red Flame Tiger yesterday, I didn’t expect there would be a surprise today!

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Xun Xiaoyu had a silly smile on his face, and there was no sign of the decisiveness he had when facing the monster yesterday.

This made the team members behind her feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course, the main emotions are envy and jealousy, because... they also want to be surrounded by so many cute cubs and be called brothers and sisters!

Look at their furry ears and tails, they look so good to be rubbed.

"Captain Xun." Deputy Captain Ji Yuan reminded.

Xun Xiaoyu finally came back to his senses and quickly got down to business, asking, "So where's Keeper Su? Can you take us to see him?"

The cubs, who had originally looked welcoming, now looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, it was the little white deer who said, "Susu is sleeping. You can wait a little longer."

Xun Xiaoyu couldn't help but be surprised. It was so late, and Keeper Su hadn't even gotten up yet? Who was taking care of these cubs? A nanny robot?

Thinking back to how well-behaved they were sitting in a row on the steps eating, Xun Xiaoyu was even more surprised.

Even ordinary children who don’t have the problem of berserker behavior are not as well-behaved as them!

So how did breeder Su manage to make these cubs change so drastically? Is this the difference between a big boss and an ordinary person?

"So... should we wake him up?"

Xun Xiaoyu had just finished speaking tentatively when she saw all the children shaking their heads in unison, except for Ran Lie and Xue Wei who were a little slow.

"No." Little White Deer said seriously, "Don't wake Susu up."

Seeing this, Xun Xiaoyu hesitated and turned around to look at Guo Hui and another colleague from the administrative department.

"It's okay, then we'll just wait a little longer."

Guo Hui pushed her glasses. She understood Su Ci's value, and she came here in person today with sincerity.

It's just a matter of waiting for a while, and they don't mind taking that little bit of time.

"Since Keeper Su's matter cannot be dealt with immediately, let's talk about yours first."

Guo Hui looked at the cubs and spoke in a solemn voice.

Even when facing so many adorable cubs, apart from a slightly softer look in her eyes, there was no change, just like when she faced anyone else.

The cubs couldn't help feeling nervous, even the most carefree Langze couldn't help swallowing.

Then, they saw Guo Hui open her briefcase and take out a few small boxes from it.

"Number two."

When reading this number, Guo Hui paused noticeably. She felt a little strange. Why didn't they start numbering these cubs from number one, but number two?

Of course, this doubt only flashed through her mind and was soon forgotten.

She looked at the red-haired boy who was walking towards her with a wary and hostile look on his face. She said nothing and just handed him the small box with the number "2" printed on it.

Then she continued, "Number three."

Zheng Xing, who was hiding behind Langze, shrank his body back again.

The little white deer ran over and helped him take the small box from Guo Hui, and also got his own box at the same time.

Soon, all the cubs received their own little boxes from Guo Hui.

Guo Hui closed her briefcase and looked at the cubs. A smile finally appeared on her face. She said, "Open them all and take a look."

Langze couldn't wait any longer, but he suppressed his curiosity only after seeing that the other cubs didn't move.

Hearing her say this, he quickly opened the small box.

With a series of small clicks, the small boxes were opened. Inside each box, there was a small nameplate with their names engraved on it.

"This is my name, I recognize it!" Langze said loudly.

"Yeah, I remember that too."

Lu Li took out the nameplate and looked at Guo Hui and the other members of the action team. He followed their example and pinned the nameplate on his chest.

Although he had been given a new name for a long time, at this moment, he had an inexplicable feeling.

From today on, he truly said goodbye to the name "Number Six".

The other children looked at their nameplates and happily followed suit. Only little Lihua, who was standing next to Rong Heng, frowned at her nameplate, as if she had recalled some bad memory.

What was written on the nameplate was, of course, her full name: Fuqiu.

My hands suddenly felt a little sore qaq

Rong Heng didn't notice his sister's complicated mood. After pinning the nameplate on himself, he squatted down to help her put it on.

I don’t know what material this nameplate is made of, but once it touches the clothes, it automatically sticks to them and can’t be shaken off.

"There are two copies of this nameplate, please be sure to keep them properly." Guo Hui told them the precautions for the two nameplates. At the same time, she had other things to announce.

"Kids, your performance yesterday was truly amazing. I never thought you would have grown to this point without realizing it. Thank you very much for your contribution to protecting the base."

Guo Hui's tone was calm, but sounded extremely sincere.

It was the first time that the cubs heard such direct praise from other adults in the base. They all broke away from the joy of receiving the new nameplates and focused their attention on Guo Hui, staring at her intently.

They felt waves of strange feelings surging in their hearts, almost drowning them.

Behind Guo Hui were members of the action team and a few guards who had come to join in the fun. They had all participated in the battle yesterday, and the look in their eyes when they looked at the children now showed not only admiration and gratitude, but also—

Recognition.

That’s right, this is the attention and recognition they have never received before!

From today on, they are no longer little monsters in the nursery. They have their own names and nameplates, and are recognized by everyone in the base!

"In recognition of your heroic performance in this battle, your achievements have been recorded."

Guo Hui continued.

Perhaps these children don’t understand what this means yet, and she doesn’t intend to explain it now—everything about Prison Star and their life experiences will be known when they grow up.

At that time, they can use this military achievement to directly obtain the permission to leave the Prison Star. If they want to join the army, this will also be their best stepping stone.

Even if you do ordinary work, you can still get a certain amount of Star Alliance subsidies.

And now, the oldest of them has just turned ten years old!

This is truly a promising future!

Guo Hui looked at the children, her voice becoming increasingly gentle. "In addition to the recorded military exploits, the base has also given you corresponding points as rewards according to regulations..."

It was bustling here, and in dormitory 303, Su Ci had already gotten up and was eating breakfast.

Whatever happened outside naturally could not be hidden from him and A Yan.

He acted like he had no interest, and only A Yan, who was sitting opposite him, could see that the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a curve, with relief and pride.
