Chapter 63
After hearing Su Ci's words, not only did the nanny robot's electronic eyes turn into two question marks, but even A Yan looked at him in confusion.
However, A Yan soon realized something.
He blinked. So... that little golden monkey just now was actually number six?!
A Yan was a little surprised.
Because the little monkey gave him a completely different feeling from No. 6. The little monkey was much cuter and more well-behaved.
But this also makes sense. Why did the keeper just give the little monkey a fruit when he asked for food?
It turned out that his share was given to him in advance!
But how did Number Six turn into a little monkey and escape from the nursery? He even ran so far away from the plantation and then disappeared again...
4586 was much more direct. It asked Su Ci, "Why is there only one Six Six Treasure?"
Su Ci was also very direct, "Because I've already given one."
Now that you have given, there is no reason to give more.
"I see."
The simple-minded nanny robot quickly accepted this reason, and its voice became full of energy again.
"Then give it to the babies along with their dinner. They'll definitely be super happy to eat such high-quality Star Chain Fruit!"
4586 just scanned it and found that these Star Chain Fruits not only do not have any pesticide residues, but also have a nutrient content far superior to the fruits delivered before. They have even reached a high-quality level and are not inferior to those grown on agricultural planets.
The nanny robot's electronic eyes have turned into two rotating small flowers. Although it is just a lump of iron, people can clearly feel its emotions.
Even Su Ci couldn't help but sigh that this puppet was becoming more and more like a real life, even... more like a human being than those people in the research institute. No wonder No. 5 had such deep feelings for the nanny robot.
"Susu, let's go, let's prepare dinner for the babies!"
At the urging of the nanny robot, Su Ci slowly followed it to the kitchen.
A Yan followed closely, but when he stepped into the corridor, he accidentally caught a glimpse of something and couldn't help but look back at the door.
A golden figure flashed by.
A Yan couldn't help but tilt his head. Could it be that Number Six came back with him?
While Su Ci was away, the three wolf cubs stayed together and nothing happened.
Originally, when the little white deer saw the keeper leaving, he was a little nervous. He didn't expect the keeper to leave them in a room.
Although his relationship with Xiao Langze has improved, before today, they were still incompatible, and Xiao Langze almost strangled him to death.
But as time went by, Xiaolu Jiao slowly relaxed.
Little Langze was particularly serious when teaching, and this seriousness gradually infected him, making him forget his fear and completely immersed in the joy of learning to play the flute.
The flute music that the keeper played for them before leaving deeply moved the little deer Jiao.
He had never imagined that real flute music could give people such an amazing experience, and it simply brought them into a new world.
The beautiful scenery and the real feeling are like entering a fantasy world, where there is no danger or fear, only the vitality that makes people linger and deeply intoxicated.
Xiaolu Jiao's wish to play the flute music in his dream has not changed, but he undoubtedly has another goal in learning to play the flute - he wants to use the flute to play a song full of vitality like the breeder!
And this is probably also the goal of Xiao Langze and Xiao Zhengxing.
When you are studying seriously, time always passes by very quickly. The little white deer clearly remembered that the keeper had just left, but a short while later, he brought dinner over.
Is it dinner time so soon?
The little white deer's heart was filled with nostalgia. The pleasant experience in the afternoon made him feel similar to the little wolf cub - he didn't want to go back to the room and didn't want to be alone.
However, when the little white deer reluctantly stood up and prepared to go back with the breeder, he saw...
The little wolf cub stood up and rushed out happily. In less than a blink of an eye, he rushed back again with a food box in his hand.
"Little star, this is your dinner!"
Little Langze placed the food box in front of number three, then rushed out again, bringing in two more food boxes. "Hey, this is yours."
The little white deer watched him put the food box in front of him, then put another food box aside, then rushed out again and came back with a basket.
"Susu said, this is today's fruit, two for each person!"
The energetic little wolf cub didn't mind helping the breeder to distribute dinner. After all, this way he could continue to stay in Zhengxing's room and go back after dinner!
When the little deer Jiao saw the big, bright red fruits that smelled particularly sweet in the basket, his eyes widened and he couldn't help swallowing.
This fruit must be delicious!
However, although he wanted to eat the fruit very much, he still resisted the urge to reach out for it. Instead, he said to the little wolf cub, "Langze, thank you."
In fact, when the little wolf cub ran out for the third time, he had already realized something, but Langze's mobility was so strong that he ran back again as soon as he stood up.
Little Langze scratched his hair, chuckled, and began to divide the fruits. "One for you, one for Little Star, and then one for me..."
The six fruits were distributed quickly. He squeezed little Zhengxing to sit down, helped him peel the Star Chain Fruit, and then stuffed it into his little hand.
"Xingxing, this smells so sweet! Come and try it." After saying that, he picked up his own fruit, without even peeling it, and took a bite with his mouth wide open.
"Wow, that's really sweet!"
Listening to his admiration, Xiao Zhengxing couldn't help but sniff, smelling the fruity fragrance of the Star Chain Fruit in his hand. Finally, he opened his mouth and took a small bite.
As the wonderful taste melted in his taste buds, the pair of small ears on the little boy's head popped out uncontrollably.
Really delicious!
Watching the two figures, one large and one small, eating together, Xiaolu Jiao lowered her head, looked at the portion in front of her, then looked at the metal door that had been closed again, and couldn't help but ask, "Can we continue to stay in Xingxing's room?"
As the real owner of this room, Xiao Zhengxing just shook his ears slightly when he heard his question, and continued to chew the fruit attentively.
Because...even if he expressed his disagreement, would it be of any use?
Little Langze answered for him: "Yes! We can have dinner together. Susu will come to pick us up in half an hour!"
Little Langze had already eaten two-thirds of a fruit that was bigger than an adult's fist. Juice was all over his hands and even his face was covered with juice, which did not look like the elegant and handsome little Zhengxing at all.
Xiao Lujiao frowned as he watched, then reached into his pocket, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.
"Do you like to eat fruits too?" He looked at little Langze taking the handkerchief to wipe his face, then opened his lunch box and asked curiously while eating the vegetable jelly.
"The fruit is delicious!" Little Langze nodded, then looked at Little Zhengxing.
Noticing the other two strong gazes, Xiao Zhengxing pursed his lips, nodded slightly, and said "hmm".
Who doesn’t like fragrant and sweet fruits?
Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Lujiao was inevitably surprised, feeling that her past cognition had been refreshed again.
"I thought carnivores only liked to eat meat..." he murmured.
Hearing this, the little wolf cub took another bite of the fruit and said in a vague voice: "Yoyo, what are you talking about? We are not animals!"
Although he was proud of his Night Wolf bloodline, Little Langze never considered himself an animal. He was much smarter than animals! Animals couldn't even speak!
Xiaolu Jiao was slightly startled, then he nodded, "You're right, we are not animals."
Just like Dr. Gu told him, although he has the blood of the silver elk, he is still human in nature, and the wolf cubs are the same as him.
Since we are all human beings, we can eat anything, including meat, fruits and vegetables, but we just have different taste preferences.
Essentially, they are all the same.
Xiaolu Jiao felt that a layer of shackles in his heart were untied by the little wolf cub's words. His thoughts became clearer than before, and he felt like he had been enlightened.
What he didn't realize was that the aura around him had also become a little purer.
Little Zhengxing tilted his head towards him, but quickly regained his focus and began to chew the fruit in his hand wholeheartedly.
It’s sweet and delicious.
On the other side, Su Ci came to the door of Room No. 6 carrying a lunch box.
When he passed the verification and the metal door opened, as expected, another cup of water was thrown towards him.
Su Ci reached out to take the cup of water, then walked into the room.
"Why are you here again? Where's 4587?"
The blond boy raised a chair high, as if ready to smash it towards the door. When he saw that it was Su Ci who walked in, he was obviously stunned.
Su Ci looked at him. He hadn't noticed it before, but after observing carefully this time, he discovered clues on the child.
Number Six's soul is incomplete.
The little monkey that appeared in the plantation and asked him for fruit was indeed a part of his lost soul.
It was obvious that after the little monkey returned to the nursery, it did not return to the room, nor did it return to its original body.
Su Ci had never encountered such a situation before. Although he had lost part of his soul, No. 6 did not seem to be affected at all. He was not only lively and energetic, but also very powerful.
If I really have to say what was affected... maybe my personality and mentality?
Although he is about the same age as the wolf cub, he seems very difficult to communicate with. He looks heartless and has no empathy for his companions or the things around him.
While Su Ci was thinking, the young boy had already thrown the chair to the ground. The chair hit the floor with a loud bang and broke into pieces.
Number Six clapped his hands nonchalantly, but at least he didn't throw the chair at Su Ci.
I don’t know if it’s because he lost a part of his soul that made the child’s senses more acute, so that from the first time they met, No. 6 has not had any aggressive behavior towards Su Ci.
It seemed as if his instinct was telling him that if he attacked the breeder in front of him, something bad would happen.
After throwing away the chair, Number Six suddenly twitched his nose and said, "What's that smell? It smells so good!"
Soon, he noticed the source of the fragrance.
"Is it my dinner?"
He suddenly jumped to Su Ci, curled his long tail, and snatched the food box from the breeder. Then he sat down on the spot and skillfully opened the lid of the food box.
When he found the Star Chain Fruit placed next to the plate, he couldn't help but cheer.
"Hahahaha, it's weekly fruit time!"
The child picked up the star chain fruit, opened his mouth and took a bite. When he tasted the sweet juice, an expression of enjoyment appeared on his face.
"It's delicious!" He looked at Su Ci, having already forgotten the unpleasant experience in the activity room. He asked, "This fruit is better than the previous ones!"
"Um."
Su Ci responded casually, then squatted down beside the child, and his spiritual consciousness swept over No. 6.
There was no sign of damage to the child's soul; the damaged part even showed signs of regeneration, which was why he failed to notice the child's abnormality at the first time.
It’s amazing... So, is this the ability of No. 6?
Su Ci touched his chin. Even though he was being stared at like that, No. 6 didn't feel any discomfort. He held the sweet fruit and ate it bite by bite. The way he gobbled it up was not even half as polite as a little monkey.
A Yan, who was following behind him, also followed Su Ci's example and used his spiritual sense to observe No. 6. He vaguely saw something wrong, but he couldn't explain what the phenomenon was specifically.
When A Yan saw that No. 6 had almost finished all the fruit in no time, he thought of something and quickly pulled Su Ci's sleeve.
Su Ci then remembered to remind him: "Don't eat it all, leave the core for me..."
However, Su Ci's words were a little late. As soon as he finished speaking, the little monkey had chewed and swallowed the remaining fruit, including the core.
It was obvious that he swallowed with great difficulty, but in the end, he still burped contentedly, and then looked at Su Ci with a bit of pride and provocation.
“…”
Looking at the smirk on the child's face, Su Ci sighed softly and told himself in his heart that there was no need to get angry with a little brat with a broken soul.
But in the end, he couldn't help but raised his hand and flicked the little monkey on the forehead.
"Ouch!"
The blond boy glared at him dissatisfiedly, his round, light red eyes flashing with violence for a moment, but when he met Su Ci's eyes, his body stiffened slightly, and the ferocity on his face subsided.
He curled his lips, picked up his plate and moved it aside, then continued eating with his back to Su Ci.
Su Ci looked at him and whispered, "Be quiet at night."
Although the little monkey didn't dare to do anything to the keeper, he still snorted loudly in response to the warning, and it was obvious that he was not prepared to obey.
Su Ci didn't need his cooperation. He always had a way to calm the cubs down anyway.
Then he took A Yan and left room number six.
Dinner for No. 2 and No. 5 has been delivered by 4586, and it is now staying in No. 5's room, coaxing the little girl to eat.
Su Ci went straight to Xiao Zhengxing's room.
When passing by room number two, he paused slightly, causing the red-haired boy in the room who was observing him with his mental power to reveal an expression of anticipation.
Is the keeper ready to come in and collect the lunch boxes?
Number Two stared at the young man, feeling a rare sense of nervousness in his heart.
If the breeder really came in, he would have to hurry up and propose a deal to him, otherwise it would be difficult to find such an opportunity to be alone again.
When No. 2 thought of this, his palms began to sweat.
This was really a cross-border thing for the young man who had never bowed his head to anyone and was especially full of disgust towards this base. Even though he had done a lot of psychological preparation, when this moment really came, he still felt extremely entangled and humiliated.
How on earth could that little wolf cub be so shameless?
However, just when No. 2 was trying to convince himself again and was ready to risk it all, he saw—
The breeder's footsteps only paused for a moment, and then... he walked straight past the door of his room!
"etc!"
The red-haired boy shouted subconsciously. When he opened his eyes and wanted to catch up with the keeper, he found that he was still in the room and the keeper could not hear him at all.
Why didn't he come in? Did he really have to wait until tomorrow's event to find him in front of the other cubs?
Number Two was extremely frustrated, angry and annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.
Why didn't he come in? Did he do it on purpose? The boy thought angrily, but he had no evidence.
And Su Ci...
He did it on purpose.
How could the noise in Room 2, so close to him, be hidden from his eyes and ears? However, he didn't want to pay attention to it for the time being.
Su Ci was very clear about his identity. He was not a real keeper of the nursery. His care for these children was more out of the instinct of the spirit of the earth.
The recovery of the earth does indeed require these creatures, so he cannot bear to see them get hurt or go astray. However, it is impossible for him to take care of everything like an old mother.
So, Su Ci just paused slightly, then continued forward and went straight into room number three.
A Yan did not follow in.
The room was too crowded and he would be easily noticed, so he waited obediently in the corridor - he could hear the sounds in the room anyway.
However, A Yan still felt curious when he thought of the scene of No. 3, No. 7 and No. 8 staying in the same room and living together in harmony.
They stopped fighting and arguing!
Moreover, they all have names now, Zhengxing, Lujiao, Langze... they are all very nice names.
As for who gave them their names, it was easy to guess. Who else but the breeder? His name was also given by the breeder.
A Yan did not feel unhappy about this.
Because no matter what, he is the first cub to get a name from the breeder, and now he lives with the breeder, and the breeder always takes him with him when he goes out.
The breeder's favorite is still him! As long as he thinks of this, A Yan feels very satisfied.
He waited in the corridor, and soon the keeper came out with the wolf cub and the white deer, and then they took the elevator to the fifth floor together.
In room 402, when room 2 found that the little white deer had also walked out of room 3, room 2, who was still angry, was stunned.
He stared at them blankly, watching them enter the elevator together, until he felt a dull pain in his head, and then he gathered his mental strength.
so……
Did even Number 7 get a tail pat from the keeper? No wonder Number 7 and Number 8 seemed a little unusual in the activity room. So this is the reason!
Number Two still had a dazed expression, probably because Number Seven was closer to him. Although he didn't really regard him as the boss, but... seeing Number Seven's sacrifice, he actually felt a little sad.
The red-haired boy gritted his teeth, and his eyes, which had been flickering, suddenly became firm.
Tomorrow, I have to negotiate with the breeder no matter what!
And Number Seven...was he also planning to escape the base by making a deal with the breeder? Otherwise, given his personality, how could he possibly make such a choice?
Perhaps, he could really go to him and discuss escaping from the base...
Su Ci naturally had no idea what was going on in Number Two's mind. He successfully sent the two children back to their respective rooms and then returned to the dormitory.
All the seeds that were soaked in the can of spiritual water when I left in the morning have grown tender green tips. The one that has grown the best has even sprouted a new shoot as long as my index finger.
Su Ci was naturally very satisfied with this progress.
He replaced the seeds with fresh spiritual water and decided to soak them overnight so that they could be transplanted into the soil tomorrow.
However, including the Star Chain Fruit, there are nearly twenty seeds here, and the piece of land he has opened up in the yard is obviously not enough.
When we transplant tomorrow, we need to clear more soil.
Su Ci put the can of spiritual water back to its place, then went to the yard to check on the plants and watered and fertilized them.
The growth of the two small spiritual buds is similar to that in the morning. The lazy little thing is still sleeping soundly. The delicate thing, which was originally a little listless, is full of energy again after being nourished by spiritual water and fertilizer.
"Together—grow! grow! grow!"
I don’t know if it was inspired by it, but in just one day, the revived star chain fruit vines sprouted several new buds, and the one that sprouted first even grew its first tiny leaf.
The tender green color makes people feel good just by looking at it.
After seeing this result, Su Ci's evaluation of the spoiled child became slightly higher.
He stretched out his finger and gently touched the small spiritual bud with his fingertips.
The pampered kid, who was already full of energy, suddenly gave off an emotional wave of joy and happiness, and then shouted even more vigorously, and even the lazy little guy who was sleeping soundly started to speak.
“Long…long…long…”
Although it sounds a bit perfunctory, it is indeed a huge improvement compared to before!
A Yan's eyes lit up as he watched, his dark red pupils full of anticipation.
Xiao Lingya will definitely grow better and better!
Su Ci placed his palm on the ground and injected the light golden soul power into the land again, helping this small piece of soil to recover its fertility and prepare for the growth of more plants.
After finishing all this, Su Ci took A Yan back to the dormitory. However, when he was packing up and getting ready for bed, he suddenly realized something and looked at the prototype of the book spirit on the wall.
After repeatedly hitting a wall, the prototype of the book spirit has become extremely well-behaved and rarely shows any emotional fluctuations. Especially when Su Ci is around, it is always quiet and tries hard to reduce its presence.
However, no matter how hard it tried, it still attracted Su Ci's attention.
The young man waved his hand lightly, and the work manual left the wall and flew in front of him.
Su Ci didn't bother to turn the page, but asked directly: "According to the base regulations, can the research institute take away the cubs for experiments without the breeder's consent?"
The prototype of the book spirit wanted to give up, but facing this big guy who could beat him up at any time, he finally chose to compromise.
The entire workbook glowed with a faint red light, and then the pages automatically turned, and after a quick flip, they finally stopped at one page.
The text on this page of the book was originally in ordinary black font, but what appeared in front of Su Ci and A Yan was red bold text.
Su Ci took a quick glance and was too lazy to continue reading.
He said directly: "Just answer me, yes or no."
The workbook paused noticeably, and finally, the writing on the page disappeared, leaving behind three bold, red letters filled with frustration:
Can't! ! !
