Chapter 78

When Su Ci walked away, A Yan was not distracted.

He had a feeling that what he was doing was important - of course, more out of enjoyment, he liked to touch the soil with his fingers, which gave him a very familiar and intimate feeling.

There are more than thirty seeds in the can of spiritual water.

Jade Snow, Ying Cui Beans, and Golden Taro, these three common seeds were obtained from Zhuang Shisong, there were only three of each, and the rest were Star Chain Fruit seeds.

The seeds of the star chain fruit were collected from the star chain fruit that was eaten before. After soaking in spiritual water, they broke through the skin and sprouted. The sprouts were tender green and full of vitality.

A Yan left some space for walking, and then planted the seeds neatly around the two small spiritual sprouts.

When he buried the last seed and stood up, although his body was dirty, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Then A Yan returned to the dormitory, fetched some fresh spiritual water, and poured the appropriate amount of water on each seed.

He didn't need to measure at all. Just by looking at the green seedling, he knew how much water and fertilizer the sprout needed, just like he knew how to use a food processor when he saw it.

It's a wonderful feeling.

A Yan knew that this should be his ability, just like No. 2's ability is red flame and No. 3's ability is to control machinery, he also has his own ability.

Although his ability doesn't seem to be very strong, he can help Susu, and he thinks this ability is just right!

After watering the two small spiritual buds with maintenance liquid, A Yan finally finished his farming work. When he came to his senses, he found that Su Ci was no longer around.

He was not in a hurry, but extended his spiritual awareness.

The next second, he came to the left side of the front of the building and appeared next to Su Ci.

The young man stood in front of the remains of the giant spider, his eyes thoughtful.

The giant spider lives up to its name - its body alone is five or six meters tall. If it were supported by its eight legs, it would be as tall as two or three stories high.

While climbing the wall, it was hit head-on by several wind blades and was killed by them. The cross-section of the broken spider leg alone was taller than A Yan.

The wind blade released by Su Ci in anger was extremely sharp, and it also made the cuts on the spider's legs smooth and flat. The thick spider meat flowed with a crystal clear beauty in the sunlight.

Of course, the only flaw is that the transparent leg meat exudes a light red color. I don’t know if it is the texture of the giant spider itself, or if it was frozen by the blood frost last night.

After taking a few quick glances, A Yan turned his head and looked at Su Ci beside him.

He seemed to be able to guess what the breeder was thinking...

Sensing his gaze, Su Ci lowered his head and met the child's dark red eyes. He pursed his lips slightly and said tentatively, "A Yan, what do you think the spider meat would taste like if you grilled it?"

A Yan thought about it and took out paper and pen from the space button.

Give it a try, he wrote.

Although he knew that the child would support him, when he actually saw the words he wrote, Su Ci couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and reached out to rub the top of the child's head.

"Ayan is so nice." he said.

A Yan blinked, and then a happy smile appeared on his face. When he looked at the giant spider, his eyes instantly became full of fighting spirit.

He will definitely try his best to make spider meat delicious!

Su Ci couldn't help laughing when she saw his expression, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise again.

Even though he had never tasted it and didn't know what it tasted like, he thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try...right? The courage to experiment was a very valuable quality.

Of course, Su Ci had no intention of being a hands-off boss. He patted the child's head and said, "If you need any help, just tell me."

Su Ci really has no talent in cooking, so among all the human technological products he has come into contact with so far, the food processor is probably his favorite.

"Um!"

A Yan nodded, then carefully approached the giant spider and began to study it.

Su Ci looked at the child's back and suddenly thought of something.

"Xiaozhi." He called.

The next moment, a transparent light screen appeared in front of Su Ci. At the same time, the voice of the base's intelligent computer rang out: "Hello, Su Ci, the trainee breeder at the nursery. How can I help you?"

That’s right, Su Ci gave the base’s intelligent computer a name, and it now seems to have accepted it well.

"Is there a tool that can convert text into sound?" Su Ci asked.

Ayan cannot speak, and although he can write, it is still not very convenient. If there is such a tool, it will be much simpler.

"Communicators and optical computers have similar functions." The intelligent computer replied.

Su Ci turned on the communicator and, under the guidance of the base's intelligent computer, completed the conversion of text into sound.

In general, it is still impossible to achieve the efficiency of instant communication, but it is undoubtedly much better than simply communicating with text. Once Ayan masters it, the speed should be able to be further improved.

"Does the Logistics Department have any extra communicators?" Su Ci asked.

"Number of communicators remaining in the Logistics Department: 58. 100 points are required to redeem a basic communicator, and 200 points are required to redeem an intermediate communicator..."

Hearing the number of points required to redeem the communicator, Su Ci's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt a little painful.

"As the owner of the highest authority, you should be able to directly call for supplies, right?"

"In an emergency, the highest authority holder can directly call upon the base's supplies," the base's intelligent computer said emotionlessly, "Please state the name of the emergency supplies you wish to call upon."

Su Ci opened his mouth slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he shook his head: "Forget it, use the points to exchange for a primary communicator and have the robot deliver it to me."

"receive."

"Points deduction successful, remaining points: 152. Robot delivery has been arranged. Please wait."

Originally, robot delivery also required points, but as the owner of the highest authority, this convenience could still be given. After all, Su Ci had used points to exchange for a communicator.

After confirming that Su Ci had no other problems, the voice of the base's intelligent computer disappeared again.

Su Ci looked at his remaining points and couldn't help but sigh.

Since we have decided to stay in the nursery temporarily, we still have to abide by the rules. This is not only a moral issue, but also a very important point -

The rules will become more powerful only when more lives follow them.

The world is now in a state of near chaos and in need of reconstruction. In this situation, he should try not to do anything that breaks the rules.

Of course, when the situation becomes unavoidable, we will just have to do what we have to do.

A Yan didn't know that Su Ci had prepared a gift for him. After carefully observing the giant spider, he ran back and expressed his meaning to Su Ci with gestures.

According to A Yan's perception, the meat of the giant spider is edible, but because it contains extremely high concentrations of pollutants, it needs to be purified.

At his request, Su Ci dug a pond next to the reclaimed land, and then drew a number of small and medium-sized water purification arrays at the bottom of the pond.

Pour in clean water, and then move a giant spider's leg over.

Su Ci did not throw the spider leg directly into the pool, but at A Yan's suggestion, he first removed the shell of the spider leg.

The giant spider's shell is very hard and can withstand the shooting of laser guns. It is a very good material.

It would be very difficult to cut open such a hard shell, and it might even require a mecha to do it, but this did not pose a problem for Su Ci.

He simply tapped it lightly with his finger, and the hard shell on the spider's leg broke open, revealing the crystal clear, thick and plump spider meat inside.

The spider meat wrapped in the shell also emitted a faint red light.

Su Ci snapped his fingers again, and the spider meat flew out of the shell and gently fell into the pool water. The pollutants released from the spider meat quickly dyed the pool water red, and were then purified by the water purification array on the bottom and wall of the pool.

The giant spider's legs are very long, several times longer than its body. The exact length is difficult to judge, but the spider meat removed from the first three sections of this spider's legs alone is enough to fill the entire pool.

The rest will have to wait until later.

Looking at the spider leg meat soaked in the pool, Su Ci's eyes almost lit up. He hadn't been so excited for a long time!

He squatted beside the pool, staring at the meat in the water eagerly, and looked at A Yan from time to time, urging him with his black eyes that seemed to speak:

Is it ready to eat? When can I eat it? Will it taste good this way?

Facing such a look from him, A Yan is now very calm.

He stared at the pool water and patted the young man's head soothingly, occasionally taking out potato chips to satisfy his craving.

After soaking for about half an hour, A Yan finally sensed that the outer part of the spider meat was completely purified. Only then did he ask Su Ci to cut out a part of the outer leg meat, and the rest that had not been completely purified continued to soak in water.

“Clatter—”

The spider meat flew out of the water and landed steadily on the picnic blanket that A Yan had spread on the ground.

After being purified and soaked in spiritual water, the original light red color has completely disappeared. The whole piece of spider meat is white and transparent, with a soft texture like gel, and it glows brightly in the sunlight.

The piece of meat was about one meter long and half a meter thick, piled on a dark blue picnic blanket. After being cut and soaked, no one could tell that it was actually a piece of spider meat.

Su Ci looked at the semi-processed meat and couldn't help but look forward to the finished product.

Unfortunately, they had no charcoal, and they couldn't find firewood to burn on the now desolate planet, so in the end they had to move back to the dormitory.

It was lunch time, so A Yan took the meat back to the dormitory kitchen to cook it, while Su Ci stayed outside for the time being.

The waiting process was too painful, so he had to find something else to do.

If it is confirmed that the spider meat is edible, then the storage of the remaining meat will need to be considered - he and A Yan both have space buttons, but the space is limited and is filled with supplies, so it is impossible to make room for the meat.

Fortunately, after some exploration, he found that there was still some spare space in the cold storage of the nursery, so it should not be a problem to store all the spider meat.

So Su Ci dug another pond, picked out the remaining meat from the spider leg, and then got a second spider leg and did the same thing.

Soon, another pool was filled, and Su Ci couldn't help but nod.

Spiders have eight legs, and the meat from these legs alone should be enough to sustain him for a while - of course, the premise is that the dishes cooked with this spider meat are delicious enough.

By the time the second pool was filled, the spider meat soaked in the first pool had also been purified.

Su Ci waved his hand, and all the spider meat in the pool disappeared, entering the cold storage. When he drained the pool water and replaced it with clean water, ready to continue purifying the spider meat...

A faint fragrance wafted from the direction of the nursery building.

Almost the next moment, Su Ci put down all the work in his hands and flashed back to the dormitory.

As soon as he returned to room 303, he smelled a strong meaty aroma, which was completely different from the beef and mutton he had eaten before. It was another kind of wonderful spicy aroma.

And just as he expected, when he arrived at the restaurant, the table was already filled with plates of steaming hot dishes.

In addition to using the seasoning packet in the space button to make barbecued spider meat, which has barbecue, black pepper, and spicy flavors, A Yan also used the garlic sprouts and garlic cloves brought back from the plantation to make fried meat with garlic sprouts and roasted spider meat with garlic flavor.

In addition, there is a large pot of juice squeezed from the star chain fruit, and the remaining pulp and peel are steamed together with the spider meat, and then seasoned with pepper and salt, and finally become a very special dish.

The dining table, which was more than one meter long, was filled with dishes. There were still a few plates that could not fit in, so they were temporarily placed on the stove in the kitchen.

Su Ci could hardly wait to take a seat.

A Yan sat opposite him, looking at him with a little uneasiness, watching him pick up the chopsticks, pick up a piece of garlic-flavored barbecued meat, put it in his mouth, and then chew it carefully.

When he saw the young man slightly closing his eyes with an expression of enjoyment, A Yan knew that his meal was not a failure!

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Ci no longer knew what words to use to describe his current mood.

Finally some fresh meat!

After the spider meat is roasted, it no longer has a gel-like texture, but becomes milky white. It has a light fresh taste when eaten. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without any strange smell. It is very similar to the crab meat in Su Ci's memory.

Moreover, this giant spider has been eroded by red fog for a long time, and red fog is a kind of spiritual energy after all, so this giant spider can barely be considered a spiritual beast.

After the pollutants were purified, the spider meat contained a faint spiritual energy. With the blessing of this spiritual energy, it not only tasted more delicious, but also had a nourishing effect, which was also helpful for Su Ci to recover his soul power.

When Su Ci thought of there was still so much spider meat, he was immersed in joy. He no longer restrained his appetite and opened his stomach directly, clearing out the whole table of food.

Seeing how quickly he devoured the food, A Yan couldn't help but wonder if he needed to make more. It seemed like this table of meat wasn't enough for Su Su to eat...

Just as he was about to slip outside and get some more spider meat, Su Ci finally stopped.

He gulped down a whole glass of Starlink juice, and when he put the glass down, he couldn't help but burp with satisfaction.

This was the first full meal Su Ci had after waking up!

It’s really not easy!

Su Ci, who had eaten his fill, looked at the child sitting opposite him. The more he looked, the more satisfied he felt. The more he looked, the more he liked him. He couldn't help but say, "A Yan, you must practice well."

You must grow up well, you must live a very long time, don’t... disappear so quickly.

A Yan looked at Su Ci and nodded vigorously.

At this moment, he saw the young man flip his palm, and a bracelet that looked like a communicator appeared on his palm - while Su Ci was eating, the delivery robot had already delivered the communicator to him.

In order not to be disturbed, Su Ci directly took the item through the air and then sent the delivery robot away.

He took A Yan's little hand, put the communication bracelet on his hand himself, and then exchanged communication numbers.

"You should know how to use this thing." Su Ci said to him, "It can convert text into sound. When you want to speak, just use it to express yourself."

A Yan couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked at the communicator on his wrist. With just one glance, he knew all of its functions. And the function the breeder mentioned...

He called up the panel on the communicator and began to fumble with the operation.

He paused slightly when he was setting up the voice, but soon continued.

Finally, enter your text.

Ayan clicked confirm and set the voice conversion.

"Susu."

Only a strange voice was heard in room 303.

The male voice coming from the communicator was clear yet a bit childish. He called Su Ci in a brisk tone, as if the last syllable was filled with joy. He sounded like he was about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Su Ci was slightly stunned, and then heard the voice continue: "Is this for me?"

He couldn't help but lower his head and look at the child in front of him.

Although the voice was pleasant to the ear, it was a bit awkward for a child who looked no more than four or five years old to speak in such a voice.

"Well, this communicator is for you."

Su Ci nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say, "A Yan, do you want to change your voice? This voice seems a little too mature for you..."

Su Ci didn't say anything else because he saw the disappointment on A Yan's face.

A Yan...you should like this voice very much, right?

"It doesn't have to be appropriate for your age," Su Ci said, changing his tone. "This can also be used as a disguise, preventing others from guessing your true situation. It's also a form of protection for you."

Hearing this, A Yan's face smiled again.

He operated the communicator, and then the gentle male voice sounded again: "Well, Susu, you are so nice."

Su Ci listened to the voice and still felt something was strange.

He had originally thought that the voice coming out of the communicator would be an emotionless electronic sound like the base's intelligent computer, but he didn't expect it to be as emotional as 4586 and the others...

Looking at A Yan's sparkling eyes, Su Ci finally decided to ignore this strange feeling.

Anyway, no matter what, Ayan is Ayan, and this will not change because of other forms.

A Yan continued to operate the communicator.

"Susu, thank you for the gift you gave me. I like it very much."

Unlike the space button that was just lent to him, the communicator was a real gift to him! And it even allowed him to speak... Faced with such a precious gift, A Yan was extremely happy!

Su Su is so nice to him! He must make more delicious food for Su Su in the future!

"Oh, if you like it."

Although A Yan is A Yan and won't change just because of his different voice, this voice... is quite different from what Su Ci imagined, and he still needs some time to adapt.

Next, Su Ci took A Yan to the outside of the nursery building and continued to process the remaining spider meat.

Although he wanted to sleep after eating and drinking, Su Ci was not sure how long the spider meat could be preserved in this environment, so he had to finish processing it first.

He removed the remaining spider legs and carried them to the water purification pool.

Second floor restaurant.

Because the cubs were emotionally stable, and Su Ci had said that there was no need to restrict the cubs' behavior in the nursery, 4586 readily agreed when the wolf cub asked to have a meal in the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, permission was granted so easily. The little wolf cub was a little confused at first, but he soon came to his senses and rushed to the restaurant with Xiao Zhengxing and Xiao Lujiao.

Number Six, who had been sitting in isolation in the corner, quickly followed after hearing their movements.

The restaurant has been repaired after the last damage, but there are still traces of burns from the red flames on the walls.

Although only a few days had passed, when they returned to the restaurant to eat, they felt as if a long time had passed. During this time, both their relationship and their mental outlook had changed.

The most obvious ones are probably the wolf cub and the white deer.

Under the guidance of 4586, they all sat down in their seats obediently, without making any noise, and spoke as quietly as possible.

When lunch was served, the little wolf cub took his own portion and squeezed in to sit next to little Zhengxing, then called the little white deer over.

"Hey, Susu gave me the homework. Have you figured out the answer yet?" The little wolf cub said distressedly while eating. "If you can't figure it out, Susu won't teach us the flute!"

Little Deer Jiao was also very troubled.

No matter how smart he is, he is just a child under six years old, and there are many things he cannot figure out on his own.

He took out the Star Chain Fruit left over from yesterday's meal and started to think while chewing it. Little Zhengxing, who was sitting on the other side of the little wolf cub, also had a thoughtful expression.

The three children gathered together, eating and thinking, looking very harmonious.

Number six, who was sitting two tables away from them, was also eating, but he kept glancing at them from time to time.

Finally, he couldn't help but groan heavily.

Looking at the plate in front of him, he suddenly wanted to pick it up and smash it. However, just as he picked it up, Number Six's hand paused. Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of something...

Number Six tilted his head.

Next to him was a glass window that looked out onto the nursery building.

Then, he saw—

The frail keeper lifted a huge spider leg with one hand and shook it in his hand.

Number Six: “…”

He swallowed and gently placed the raised plate back on the table.
