Chapter 56 Am I Not Cute?



“…”

Jian Luo looked at the word and deeply understood its meaning.

Lu Shifeng said: "Have you learned it?"

"I'll try my best." Jian Luo leaned back and said, "I don't know why I, who still has a few decades left to live, should learn all this."

Lu Shifeng threw the book to him: "Did you say you can only live for a few decades?"

???

Jian Luo was shocked. He sat up suddenly and looked at Lu Shifeng, stuttering a little: "W-What do you mean?"

Lu Shifeng leaned against the bed and looked at him lazily: "In March, I was also injured. Did you smell it?"

Jian Luo scratched his head, recalled it, and said honestly: "No."

Lu Shifeng nodded. "The flesh and blood of the dragon race has healing properties. While you are nurturing the little dragon, its bones and blood are also fusing with your genes. All functions of your body will be improved, including your lifespan."

? ? !!

Jian Luo subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, shocked in a rare way.

He thought the dragon cub was just teasing him all day long, but he didn't expect that he was also the beneficiary!

Lu Shifeng curled his lips and smiled: "Do you still think they are a burden?"

“…”

Don't be so blunt.

Jian Luo coughed lightly and calmed himself down: "No, I never felt that way. I'm going to take a shower!"

Lu Shifeng frowned: "Walk slowly."

"I know, I know. Why are you as nagging as my mom?"

“…”

The next day.

Today is the day Jian Luo finishes his online classes and has to go back to school, no, it’s the day he goes back to Phoenix Terrace for classes. He put on his small schoolbag early in the morning and was still memorizing words in the car.

While correcting his pronunciation, Lu Shifeng said, "I won't blame you if you don't do well on the test."

"I know." Jian Luo bit the end of the pen. "But since I've learned it, I'll study hard. You said I can live a hundred years, so I must have a skill. Maybe in the future I can not only broadcast live on Dark Star, but also on the Universe Live Network!"

Lu Shifeng slapped his hand down: "Live a hundred years? Are you cursing yourself?"

“…”

Damn Dark Star people, what’s the big deal about living longer?

Jian Luo decided not to bother with him and continue to struggle with foreign languages. He was not a complete loser in this aspect of learning. Sometimes he still had a little bit of talent. It was divided into wanting to learn and not wanting to learn. If he really made up his mind to study hard, he would definitely learn it well.

Arrived at Phoenix Terrace.

Lu Shifeng said: "I'll have someone pick you up for lunch at noon."

"No need!" Jian Luo pressed his storage button and pointed to the lunch box inside: "This is a homemade insulated lunch box. It's very reliable. I can just heat it up and eat it at noon."

Lu Shifeng frowned and looked at the small box: "That's all."

Jian Luo's mouth twitched: "There are two layers inside, and my staple food is holy dragon fruit, so the other ones are enough!"

Lu Shifeng wanted to say something, but Jian Luo was afraid of his nagging, so she quickly found an excuse and left.

Didn’t he say that the noble and cold Marshal is now more and more like his mother? Could it be an illusion?

He went to work to punch in.

The staff member said, "Are you Jian Luo?"

Jian Luo went through security check. Everyone who entered the seed research base had to go through security check. He nodded: "Yes, what's wrong?"

The staff member smiled and said, "You are the one who grew the peppers. You are so amazing!"

The application for mass production of chili peppers was rejected before.

Jian Luo was surprised: "Do you like spicy food?"

"I'm fine, but my wife loves it." The staff member smiled and said, "She's a dragon, and dragons love this taste."

Do dragons like spicy food?

Jian Luo thought about it and it was true. It seemed that the dragon clan especially loved hot pot. After he made hot pot last time, Secretary Jin asked him every few days when he would eat hot pot next time.

It seems that if he wants to expand the market, he still needs to do a good job of researching various races. After all, each race has different taste preferences. Thinking of this, Jian Luo asked curiously: "What flavor do you prefer to eat?"

The staff was stunned and a little embarrassed.

Jian Luo said tactfully, "It's okay if it's inconvenient."

"No." The staff member said seriously, "Because I mostly drink nutrient solution, I don't know much about your food. If you need, I might have to go home and buy a few batches to try. I'll give you a report later."

“…”

Are all Phoenixes so strict?

Jian Luo was scared: "Don't bother, it's okay, the nutrient solution is pretty good. Okay, I'll go first!"

He slipped away quickly, mainly because he didn't want to owe the other person such a big favor. He wasn't familiar with the person before, and he couldn't suddenly ask the other person to give him such a detailed report.

State of the art shed.

Wang Hengyi saw him and waved: "Come here quickly."

Jian Luo walked over curiously: "Why, what did you cultivate?"

"This seed hasn't sprouted yet." Wang Heng pointed to the seed in the nutrient chamber. "The temperature I gave it was accurately predicted. According to my calculations, it should have sprouted by today at the latest, but it still hasn't."

Jian Luo was nonchalant and casual: "What kind of seed is this?"

Wang Heng said to him, "Watermelon."

???!!!!!

Originally, Jian Luo was a bit casual, but when he heard that these were watermelon seeds, he really couldn't sit still and rushed over: "Let me take a look."

You don't know until you see it. Once you see it, you will feel disappointed. The seeds are obviously not good. Judging from their condition, they are already ruined. The whole seed shows a morbid and decadent feeling.

Jian Luoxin was worried: "Do you have any spare seeds?"

Wang Heng knew Jian Luo had a solution when he saw his attitude, and he immediately said, "There's only a small batch left."

Jian Luo thought for a moment and asked, "Would you like to try soil cultivation?"

One bad thing about the Phoenix Clan is that they are too stubborn. They are too rigorous in doing things and stick to their own opinions. You can't say that being rigorous is a bad thing, but sometimes being too inflexible is not a good thing either.

Wang Heng had a strong prejudice against soil cultivation, but since Jian Luo cultivated peppers, he has obviously become more restrained: "Before, seeds were cultivated in nutrient solution."

Jian Luo leaned against the table and said, "But I only know how to cultivate it in soil. I have a way to grow it. We want the same result. Since we can't grow it with nutrient solution now, why not give it a try? We are colleagues, not enemies."

Wang Heng glanced at him a few times with a hint of inquiry.

Jian Luo is open and honest.

Finally, Wang Heng said, "Let's give it a try."

Jian Luo curled her lips and smiled, wanting to pat Wang Heng's shoulder and say something comforting, but sadly found that she was too short to reach him.

Wang Heng sighed meaningfully: "I think you have changed."

Jian Luo was curious: "How have I changed?"

"I've gotten fatter."

“…Let’s not talk about this kind of change.”

"OK."

Jian Luo walked to the side and began to organize his thoughts about growing watermelons. In fact, he could only remember a rough range of many temperatures and it was impossible for him to remember them in great detail, but it was no problem to make a rough guess.

Planting watermelon is different from growing peppers. Watermelon is a plant that is very prone to disease. It requires a very high level of environment and proficiency in cultivation. Even if Wang Heng doesn't choose it today, he is ready to try it himself. After all, it is easy for people without experience to fall into the ditch.

When he is busy, he forgets the passage of time until someone calls him.

Wang Heng said, "It's time for lunch break."

"Well, okay."

Jian Luo was still looking at the data. Now that he had some ideas, he wanted to devote himself to it and finish it as soon as possible.

As I was watching, a voice came from behind: "What are you doing?"

!!

Jian Luo was startled and turned his head to look over, only to see the high priest in a white divine robe standing behind him. Because he was close, he could clearly see the golden phoenix pattern on the robe shining brightly in the light.

Jian Luo pointed to his data board, which was probably the data analysis of the watermelon seeds: "I'm preparing the data for other seedlings. Um, is there an exam? Now let's go."

Zhan Wentai said, "No hurry, eat first."

Jian Luo followed Zhan Wentai outside. In fact, Fenghuangtai was sparsely populated. This was Jian Luo's latest discovery. It was almost impossible to meet anyone while walking on the small path.

Following Zhan Wentai, Jian Luo was very curious: "I noticed, why are you always calling me to eat?"

Zhan Wentai paused, turned around, and met Jian Luo's eyes filled with curiosity. The High Priest paused and said, "According to the data, humans will suffer if they don't eat for a single meal."

???

well enough.

Jian Luo suddenly wanted to ask: "Who came to this conclusion, a human?"

Since the topic has come to this, the upright and rigorous old cadre priest said honestly: "It's written in the WeChat Moments public account."

Jian Luo was surprised: "What public account?"

Next, he, a country bumpkin, finally learned about a new function of the information terminal address book, which is the circle of friends and public accounts.

The high priest adjusted the panel to: visible to outsiders.

Jian Luo leaned over and saw the title above:

[Shock! There are more things humans can do!]

[Five major differences between humans and Dark Aliens that you must know]

[Nutrient solution left overnight cannot be drunk]

[These things you often have at home may be closely related to humans. Have you discovered? ]

“…”

Jian Luo looked at these tweets in silence: "Where did you find all these?"

Zhan Wentai put away his message terminal. "Your Majesty and Nie Yan share their social media posts every day."

Jian Luo felt that he had to refresh his brief understanding of the emperor, the richest man, and the Dark Star people every day!

These little essays on the WeChat Moments page are simply unbelievable. They've harmed so many children. Jian Luo struggled to clarify, "Actually, it's not that hard for humans to go hungry. You know, humans aren't that fragile and incompetent. We have strong learning abilities, and we're not just good at farming."

Zhan Wentai glanced at him sideways: "Really?"

Jian Luo admitted generously: "Of course!"

"Well." Zhan Wentai said, "I hope you can get a good score on today's test."

I was offended.

Jian Luo decided not to talk about these sad topics with the high priest. Since he was not hungry yet, he decided to eat a holy dragon fruit first and then go to take the exam.

Zhan Wentai: "Actually, you can eat first."

Jian Luo shook his head and sighed: "You don't understand the torment of a poor student. If you don't let me take the exam first today, I won't be able to eat at all."

“…”

The high priest did not stop him.

After Jian Luo studied hard, his exam speed was different from usual. He finished the paper quickly, and when he encountered questions he didn't know, he filled them all out in the mentality of not handing in a blank paper.

When Jian Luo handed in the paper, he graded himself: "At least 80 points."

Zhan Wentai took the paper and said to him, "Let's eat."

"good."

Jian Luo took out his lunch box. Actually, he was already a little full after eating one holy dragon fruit, but he could still eat a few more bites.

The priest opposite was still reviewing the questions.

Jian Luo opened his lunch box. Today, he packed the meal he had made in the cafeteria yesterday, with some chicken soup, some braised pork, and a generous portion of rice. He was definitely not going to be able to finish it. Seeing that the High Priest hadn't even had a sip of water since then, he took the initiative to ask, "Are you hungry?"

Zhan Wentai said calmly, "Eat it."

"Oh." Jian Luo didn't force it anymore.

Zhan Wentai glanced at the food in his lunch box and asked, "Can't you eat it?"

Jian Luo only ate a little. He didn't like to eat much recently. Instead, he liked some small snacks. "Well, I'm full. Holy dragon fruit is quite filling."

Zhan Wentai thought for a moment and held out his hand: "Give it to me."

Jian Luo handed him the lunch box. The test paper had just been corrected, so he took the test paper and checked the questions he had made mistakes. The first thing he saw was the score, 74, which was worse than expected. He frowned subconsciously and began to mark the papers.

Zhan Wentai, who was sitting opposite, said, "Correct your own questions first, and I'll explain the questions to you later."

Jian Luo nodded: "Okay."

Jian Luo got the questions wrong on a few big ones. Before coming here, Lu Shifeng had pointed out some minor problems to Jian Luo. Jian Luo guessed almost all the questions he pointed out correctly. The points he lost were because he didn't listen carefully. Now he regrets it.

Jian Luo revised the paper carefully and finally fixed all the wrong questions. Then he put down his pen respectfully and was about to talk to Zhan Wentai about the questions, but he found that the priest had almost finished all the braised pork and had hardly touched any of the other side dishes.

Jian Luo was very curious: "Do you like braised pork?"

Zhan Wentai paused with his chopsticks. The strict priest seemed a little embarrassed for a moment, but he still admitted honestly, "It tastes good."

!!

Jian Luo smiled. He suddenly had an idea and asked, "Is it because the braised pork is sweet?"

Zhan Wentai hesitated for a moment and nodded: "The sweet taste is indeed very suitable."

Ah, it turns out that Phoenix likes sweet food.

Jian Luo felt that he had discovered the truth and had to write this information down in his notebook. If he wanted to open a food processing factory, he must have a business chain and research on the tastes of different groups of people.

Thinking of this, Jian Luo smiled: "Okay, if you like it, I'll bring you some next time."

Bring more and do more research, and you will definitely be able to find the flavors that Phoenixes like best. Then, will you still be worried about low sales?

Zhan Wentai paused when he heard this. Inexplicably, the priest's originally cold and hard face suddenly softened. He said, "No need to be so polite."

Jian Luo said simply: "It doesn't matter, you are my teacher!"

“…”

Zhan Wentai nodded silently.

Jian Luo smiled. He was about to continue looking at the questions when he received a message on his information terminal. He opened it and saw that it was from Jie Yue:

[Luoluo, when you finish cultivating the peppers, you must come back and clock in, because you are a Yuese employee~]

Yes.

Jian Luo almost forgot about this.

Thinking of this, he quickly replied: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, can I go there in the afternoon or evening?"

Jie Yue was very generous: "Of course!"

Jian Luo finally felt relieved. He said to Zhan Wentai, "Boss, can I take a leave this afternoon and go back to Yuese?"

Zhan Wentai: “Okay.”

Jian Luo heaved a sigh of relief. The High Priest was truly generous, not even asking why. Just as he was thinking this, he heard Zhan Wentai say, "He must be asking you to go back and register. It's about time, considering the date."

“…”

He was the only one in the world who had forgotten about it.

Jian Luo felt deeply guilty. After finishing the questions at noon, he took an in-class test before going back. Because the watermelon seeds had not been planted yet and there was nothing for him to take care of in the shed, he simply came out and went directly to Yuese.

It was Jieyue who answered the phone again: "Luoluo, long time no see."

Jian Luo gave her a small hug: "Long time no see."

"Why are you gaining weight again?" Jie Yue chuckled, "That's good. You were too thin before. You can actually eat the custom meals at our hotel. They're very nutritious."

Jian Luo's mouth twitched: "Am I really that fat?"

It's so heartbreaking, my friend.

Jie Yue looked at him with a smile. In fact, when she first saw Jian Luo, he could not be described as thin. He could be described as malnourished. However, he was very energetic. Although he was a human being, it was obvious that Jian Luo worked very hard.

Now Jian Luo is different from before. His face has become fatter and he seems to have grown taller, as if his whole body has grown up. Moreover, this change is very fast and sudden, as if it happened suddenly in a few moments without noticing.

Jie Yue smiled and said, "No, you are not fat. You are just right."

Jian Luo also said: "Let nature take its course. Gaining weight is a matter of fate. Please don't be surprised if you see me gain weight in the future."

"How could that be?" Jie Yue thought he was joking: "How could you easily get fatter?"

Jian Luo smiled but said nothing.

The two walked in. The moonlight was still as magnificent as usual. The first floor was almost full of upper-class white-collar workers. As they went up the elevator, they could almost smell the scent of money.

Jie Yue said to Jian Luo, "The contract you signed with the boss before was only for the time you spent cultivating peppers outside. If you want to stay at Phoenix Terrace any longer, you may have to renew the contract. I'll take you to see the boss."

Jian Luo nodded.

He arrived at Nie Yan's office with familiarity. He knocked on the door and only opened it after hearing a familiar male voice. The richest man was sitting on the sofa, wearing a golden robe, with his legs crossed, looking at the white jade in his hand through a magnifying glass.

Jian Luo said: "Boss."

"Well, sit down." Nie Yan said slowly, "I left Dark Star a few days ago to discuss business elsewhere. What's up? I see you've gained some weight."

“…”

This life is unbearable.

Jian Luo sat down depressedly: "Yes, I have gained weight."

Nie Yan was a businessman, and the most important thing for a businessman was to read people's expressions. He could roughly guess what made Jian Luo unhappy in just a few thoughts.

Placing the white jade on the table, he raised his eyebrows noncommittally: "Your contract at the Phoenix Terrace Seed Base is about to expire. Are you planning to come back?"

Jian Luo said, "I still have a seedling that hasn't been cultivated yet. Can I postpone it for a while?"

Unexpectedly, Nie Yan agreed: "Okay."

Jian Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

"But you'll have to call it a day after you finish this batch." Nie Yan lifted the tea on the table with his slender fingers and took a sip. "Calculating the time, you should be six months pregnant by then. You'll be too pregnant to go out, so it will be inconvenient. To make the most of your time, you should learn from me."

? ? !!

Jian Luo was shocked. He knew Pixiu liked to calculate the value of money, but he hadn't expected it to this extent. He asked cautiously, "What are you mainly learning?"

Nie Yan said calmly, "You want to open a factory? Do you know the process? Do you know what's needed? Do you know how to manage people? Do you know where to get the equipment?"

Jian Luo shook his head honestly.

Nie Yan curled his lips and lazily leaned back on the sofa: "Then why don't you study?"

Makes sense!

This is a teacher who comes to your door, and he is the most successful teacher!

Jian Luo has no other advantages, but he knows when to stop. Anyway, these people make the decision, so he can only enjoy it if he can't resist: "Study, study, thank you teacher."

Nie Yan responded lazily.

Jian Luo thought about giving the teacher a gift, but he hadn't prepared anything. He just stole some freshly grown Chinese cabbage from the seed base. Thinking about it, it was a new product after all, so he took the cabbage out of the storage space and said, "We just grew a new product. You can try it if you have time. I'll send it to the kitchen later and teach them how to eat it."

Nie Yan raised his eyes and glanced at it before saying, "No need, just leave it there."

Jian Luo felt very strange, but didn't say much. He put the cabbage on the table and signed a contract. That was the end of it.

The other side.

Lu Shifeng discussed the recent alien situation with the emperor in the palace, mainly talking about the expansion of military forces. In addition to the dragon clan, whether the military needs to train more foreign police, mainly to maintain peace in other small places on the dark star.

The meeting was halfway through and there was a break.

The little emperor opened his social media and scrolled through it. "Hey, Master Priest and Minister Nie are posting updates!"

Lu Shifeng was not interested.

"Oh~" The little emperor looked at him meaningfully, "They all met Luoluo!"

The uninterested marshal twitched his ears, slowly opened his information terminal, and opened his circle of friends. The first and latest post was from Nie Yan:

[The cabbage Luoluo gave me, thank you for your concern, I will keep it. ]

The attached picture is a lush green cabbage.

“…”

Lu Shifeng continued to scroll down and soon came across a message from Zhan Wentai. After opening it, he saw the updates from the Priest:

【Lunch, thank you Luoluo for your thoughtfulness.】

The attached picture shows red and green dishes, and you can tell at a glance who made them.

There aren’t actually that many people in Lu Shifeng’s circle of friends, so basically one can tell what’s going on at a glance. The two messages, one above and one below, are connected together, and at first glance, the green color is a bit unsettling.

The key point is that the little emperor was still beside him, saying, "Luoluo is so nice. I must have given you a lot of things before. I'm so envious. I don't have any. Is it because I'm not cute enough?"
