Chapter 37: A can of fish is missing.
Qin Zhuo's gaze fell on Youxiang, who was sitting on a rock, and saw her carefully washing her hands and face with her supernatural abilities.
"Go dig for crystal cores!" Qin Zhuo raised an eyebrow and said loudly.
Yu Xiang shook her head like a rattle-drum, muttering with disgust, "No, that's disgusting."
She took out a small mirror and looked at herself from left to right.
Yes, it's all cleaned up.
Qin Zhuo sighed helplessly, "Never mind, I'll do this."
Yu Xiang watched the other three digging for crystal cores with utter boredom, and soon she felt extremely bored.
Her eyes darted around, and she happily started playing a farming game.
Wow, the fish we raised are ready to eat! Didn't Brother Chen want some today? Wait, this little workshop can also make canned goods—fish preserves, fruit preserves, they make everything…
Half an hour later, all the crystal cores had finally been found.
Everyone handed all the crystal cores to Yuxiang.
Yu Xiang first washed each crystal core thoroughly, then stuffed them all into her little yellow duck bag.
Unexpectedly, the bag was too small and couldn't hold it all.
Yu Xiang was overjoyed, having so many crystal cores to eat.
She stored most of the crystal cores in the game's inventory and kept a small portion in her bag.
The four men emerged from the ravine and continued their journey.
But it was already late, and there was no time to reach the next town, so they had to find a clearing in the woods to rest there.
Chen Yunfei rubbed his slightly hungry stomach. "I'll just cook some instant noodles tonight."
At this moment, Youxiang walked up to Chen Yunfei carrying a bucket and placed it in front of him.
Chen Yunfei looked closely and saw a large fish in the bucket, jumping and splashing water everywhere.
"My God! Live fish, where did you get this?"
Chen Yunfei stared in surprise.
Yu Xiang puffed out her chest. "I raised it."
Qin Zhuo and Qiao Yan heard the noise and came over, looking curiously at the fish in the bucket.
Qiao Yan raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Raised?"
Yu Xiang nodded vigorously, her little face full of pride: "Yes, yes, I also raised it for a while."
Qin Zhuo stroked his chin. "Little Youzi, so your space can hold living things too."
He subconsciously thought that Yu Xiang probably just stuffed live fish into the space and then casually made up that she was raising fish, without thinking anything of it.
After all, Yuka was abnormal after turning into a zombie.
He never imagined that what Yuxiang had always possessed wasn't a space at all, but a magical farming game!
Chen Yunfei jumped up excitedly, "This is incredible!"
Yuka tilted her head, her little head full of questions.
Something seems off.
Chen Yunfei praised, "Little Youzi must have heard that I wanted to eat fish today, so she brought out the fish. How thoughtful of her!"
When Youxiang heard Chen Yunfei's praise, her eyes instantly curved into crescent moons, and she felt very happy.
She's so thoughtful!
Chen Yunfei rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "I'll cook some fish soup tonight."
Qin Zhuo glanced at the surrounding trees. "Then I'll go find some firewood nearby. Little Yuzi, would you like to come along?"
"I'm not going."
She's already been "fighting" with her fellow zombies for two hours now, and she doesn't want to be told to do any more work.
Yuxiang took out two small stools from the game inventory, sat down steadily on one of them, patted the other, looked at Qiao Yan, and said sweetly, "Yan Yan, sit here quickly, let them go and do their work."
Qiao Yan frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation on her face. She thought to herself that it seemed a little inappropriate to leave everything to them.
As a zombie, Little Yuzu doesn't need to eat, so it seems like it doesn't matter if she doesn't do any work.
But if I don't do it myself, it just doesn't feel right.
As if sensing Qiao Yan's thoughts, Chen Yunfei immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, you girls can just relax here. We'll take care of these chores."
Qin Zhuo added from the side, "Just keep an eye on Xiao Youzi for me, so she doesn't do anything weird or strange."
Upon hearing this, Youxiang immediately became unhappy. She pouted and said angrily, "I've never been naughty! I've always been super well-behaved, okay!"
Seeing this, Qiao Yan sat down next to Youxiang, gently patted her head, and said in a stroking motion, "Yes, little Youzi has always been very well-behaved."
It has to be said that Qin Zhuo's words are really reasonable; Xiao Youzi really needs her to keep an eye on her.
Yu Xiang hugged Qiao Yan like a kitten and rubbed against her, saying, "Yan Yan is the best!"
Qin Zhuo couldn't help but glance at Youxiang.
Yu Xiang met Qin Zhuo's gaze and immediately made a mischievous face, secretly mouthing to him, "You're a bad person."
Qin Zhuo shook his head helplessly and turned to look for firewood.
Hmph, what a heartless little brat!
But I don't know why, I just happened to fall for this heartless guy.
Yuka took out a small mirror again, looked at herself from left to right, and muttered to herself, "Why do I feel like I've become even prettier?"
She brought her face close to Qiao Yan's, blinked her big eyes, and asked, "Yan Yan, have I really become prettier?"
Qiao Yan looked at it carefully, "It really is true, you really have become more beautiful."
Qiao Yan wasn't just giving You Xiang a perfunctory answer; she could genuinely see some subtle changes in her.
Is this because of the crystal nucleus?
She had some guesses in her mind.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiang's eyes lit up with joy.
Suddenly, she noticed that her hair was a little messy in the mirror, so she took Qiao Yan's hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Yan Yan, can you help me tie my hair up?"
Qiao Yan then came to her senses and replied with a smile, "Okay."
Yu Xiang quickly put away the small mirror, then took out a small comb, various colorful hair ties, and cute hair clips from the game storage and handed them to Qiao Yan.
"Yan Yan, do whatever looks good to you."
Qiao Yan skillfully combed Youxiang's hair, and in a daze, she felt as if she had returned to her childhood.
At that time, she and her sister sat under the osmanthus tree, and she was combing her sister's hair in the same way.
"alright."
Qiao Yan put down the comb in her hand.
Yuxiang couldn't wait to pick up the mirror and look at herself. She said happily, "Yan Yan did a super nice job. I love it so much!"
"Thank you, Yan Yan. These are for you."
As she spoke, Youxiang took out some canned fish and canned fruit from the game workshop and stuffed them into Qiao Yan's arms.
Qiao Yan looked at the cans in her arms and casually put them on the ground. "Dinner will be coming soon, so we can eat these later."
Around the campfire, the three of them drank delicious fish soup, and Youxiang ate crystal kernels, enjoying a wonderful meal.
After the meal, Qiao Yan looked at the canned food still on the ground and said to You Xiang, "Little You, I'm full. I won't eat these canned foods anymore. You can put them away."
Yu Xiang nodded, "Okay~"
She ran to the cans, squatted down, and carefully counted them. Her little face immediately scrunched up.
Huh? 【ヘ】
The quantity is wrong; there's one can of fish missing.
