"Hmph!" Lin Zhenzhen raised her chin and raised her eyebrows smugly. "That's more like it."
Remembering what she hadn't finished saying, she asked, "By the way, do you have any bowls here?"
Gu Zhongsheng frowned and looked at her with an expression that said, "You're really smart."
What do you think?
That's true, zombies eat raw meat, so they don't need bowls and chopsticks at all.
"Where did you get all this rice and salt from?"
“Taken from the people in the city.”
Take? It's more like stealing.
Gu Zhongsheng remained calm, seemingly not finding anything amiss.
He thought for a moment and added, "There are no bowls, but there are similar things."
-------------------------------------
Lin Zhenzhen looked at what she was holding and fell silent for a moment.
"What is it now?" Gu Zhongsheng frowned. "Aren't they all the same thing?"
Lin Zhenzhen's lips twitched; she meant exactly what she meant.
But isn't using a skull to serve porridge a bit too hardcore?
"Okay... then."
Lin Zhenzhen bent down, scooped up a spoonful of scalding hot porridge, poured it into the unidentified animal skull, and then handed it to Gu Zhongsheng.
Gu Zhongsheng looked at her in surprise: "This is for me?"
"Mmm." Lin Zhenzhen smiled at him. "Want to try it?"
Gu Zhongsheng stared down at the bowl of porridge for a long time before finally raising his hand to take it.
He brought his nose close to the rim of the bowl and sniffed it gently, then took a small sip, his movements more refined than ever before.
After tasting the meat porridge, Gu Zhongsheng's eyes flashed, and he was momentarily dazed.
Lin Zhenzhen looked at him expectantly: "It should be alright."
Gu Zhongsheng slowly swallowed the meat porridge in his throat and murmured "Mmm".
[Ding! Heart-stealing progress bar +5, current progress 76.5/100, reason for affection increase: unknown]
[Congratulations, host! You have collected all 50 points of strategy points related to Gu Zhongsheng. Hooray!]
Lin Zhenzhen blinked, not expecting that Gu Zhongsheng's final power level would end with a bowl of meat porridge.
Am I really a culinary genius?
Lin Zhenzhen quickly scooped some out for herself to taste.
The saltiness was just right, and the taste was indeed good, but it wasn't so delicious that it would make him secretly fall in love with her, was it?
It seems this child has never eaten anything good.
Lin Zhenzhen's gaze towards him gradually softened into one of affection.
"Would you like some more?"
Gu Zhongsheng raised his head, his pupils bright and glistening, like a puppy's eyes.
He glanced at the remaining amount in the jar: "Is this enough for you?"
Lin Zhenzhen also realized: "Right, where is General Gu?"
Gu Zhongsheng was silent for a moment, then reached out and pointed behind her.
"Okay~" Lin Zhenzhen said cheerfully, holding the jar. "Then I need to hurry up and find him, lest the porridge get cold."
Watching her retreating figure, the smile on Gu Zhongsheng's lips gradually faded, eventually coalescing into a desolate straight line.
"Oh wait, I almost forgot." Lin Zhenzhen suddenly turned back, "Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Gu Zhongsheng looked into her eyes and remained silent.
Lin Zhenzhen said with a grin, "Just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you!"
Gu Zhongsheng lowered his eyelids: "...Okay."
After calming Gu Zhongsheng down, Lin Zhenzhen turned to find Gu Bosheng.
Now that we know we have 76.5 points in the strategy guide, the remaining 23.5 points are all on Gu Bosheng's shoulders.
Lin Zhenzhen sighed.
Gu Bosheng is great in every way, except that he's too slow at navigating the game.
And for some reason, his thought process seems to be naturally different from ordinary people, so it's really difficult to get to the bottom of his mind.
The system sensed her thoughts and immediately popped up to encourage her: [Host, keep it up! A huge amount of contribution points are beckoning you! Heave-ho!]
Lin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes: [Anyone can be a smooth talker! Even a scumbag would send flowers to a cheating boyfriend, but you, all you do is offer verbal encouragement. You piece of trash system.]
The system was speechless at the inexplicable addition of new titles.
Their bickering was interrupted by a soft, rustling sound.
Lin Zhenzhen glanced to the side and saw countless dark brown tree roots swimming on the ground in front of her.
As if they were consciously moving, they rushed headlong in one direction.
Lin Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes; that figure looked like... Gu Bosheng!
These tree roots, like winding, crawling snakes, will soon completely envelop Gu Bosheng's body.
They were still climbing upwards, and were about to completely cover his face.
Lin Zhenzhen threw down what she was holding, took a step forward, and shouted.
"General, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you!"
The tree roots immediately receded like a receding tide.
Lin Zhenzhen rushed forward immediately: "General, are you alright?"
Gu Bosheng put one foot on the ground, opened his eyes, and shook his head with a smile: "I'm fine. The giant sequoia was just playing with me."
"It can even play with people?"
"That's right. Although the giant sequoias are huge, that's all due to mutation."
"It has only been growing for a few decades. If we convert it to the age of the tree, it is only a few years old."
"Moreover, the evolved consciousness has also influenced it."
Seeing Gu Bosheng extend his hand, the tree roots that had been cowering in the corner began to peek out restlessly.
Lin Zhenzhen asked somewhat uncertainly, "What impact?"
Gu Bosheng lowered his eyes and gently stroked the tree roots, saying, "Sociality, or rather, the emergence of a need for emotions."
"Emotional needs?" Lin Zhenzhen initially found it unbelievable.
But as she watched the tree root slowly and gently rub against Gu Bosheng's palm, it really did look like a little pet begging for attention.
"Trees were once called solitary guardians because once they take root in a piece of land, they will never change their position in their lifetime."
“But the mutated giant sequoia told me that it felt lonely and bored, and wanted the company of other creatures.” Gu Bosheng paused, “and wanted friends.”
Lin Zhenzhen looked up. Was this terrifying behemoth really thinking about these things?
Why do I feel a strange sense of cuteness from the contrast?
Lin Zhenzhen squatted down and reached out her hand towards the tree roots.
Perhaps sensing her kindness, the tree root also came closer to her, wriggling its body to tickle her.
"Hahaha, no, stop, it itches!" Lin Zhenzhen jumped into Gu Bosheng's arms to avoid the tree roots. "General, General, please make it stop scratching."
Gu Bosheng waved his hand to disperse the unruly tree roots and said softly, "Don't be afraid, come down."
