Chapter 18 Eighteen Nights
After a bite of food, Wu Yan decided to sell himself.
Trouble is trouble, but Yun Wanwan has never been someone who would stand by and watch someone in need, nor is she someone who is afraid of trouble.
Everything in front of her was a new experience and a challenge for her. As for whether the person she saved was good or bad, it was hard to judge for the time being - Shi Kaien seemed like a good person, but Wu Yan didn't look like a good person.
At least not a serious person.
Who would be dishonest as soon as they meet, almost make advances, and even do such ambiguous little moves?
Yun Wanwan turned her head and looked at the person still lying on the ground. He had been unconscious for a day and a night and still hadn't woken up.
The devil vine had faithfully bound him all day and all night, fearing any accidents. Yun Wanwan had noticed that he had indeed been unconscious before. After her initial treatment, he had simply been sleeping soundly. It was unknown whether it was intentional or if he was truly unaware, sleeping so blatantly until now.
After all, this was where she was going to live. A temporary formation made of ore wouldn't last long, and the surrounding pollution situation wasn't optimistic after it failed. Even knowing Yun Wanwan was immune to pollution, Shi Kaien thoughtfully set up a small, newly developed protective shield from the Imperial Research Institute around her. The controller was in Yun Wanwan's hands, so she could activate it whenever she needed it. He even left her several boxes of the energy packs needed to operate the shield and promised to continue sending them.
He delivered it personally.
After picking up Wu Yan yesterday, Yun Wanwan opened the protective shield and took off the tattered but barely usable helmet on Wu Yan's head. Looking at the red warning energy bar on it, she couldn't help but laugh.
I guess this person must have been really desperate, so she took the risk and rushed to him. I don’t know what he was thinking before he made this decision, and why he felt that there would be a glimmer of hope with her?
"Get up when you wake up. There's nothing to eat if you lie down. Aren't you hungry?"
Wu Yan: “…”
He did wake up.
He had been lucid for a moment before, and his mental strength was surprisingly calmer than ever before. Although the torn wound had not healed, the pain that had been bothering him was gently soothed by a magical and gentle power and was no longer unbearable.
It was this feeling that made Wu Yan choose to give up, give up on investigating what had happened, and simply lie down and fall into a deep sleep.
It's already like this, there's no point in struggling anymore.
At this moment, Wu Yan, who had no ambition at all, quickly accepted the reality and had a good sleep.
When he woke up again, the first thing he found was that his helmet had been removed, but fortunately he was still alive, and even the restoration of his mental power was not an illusion. The mysterious power that relieved all his pain was still there, repairing his torn spiritual consciousness bit by bit.
Such power only existed in human dreams. There were also people in the Star Pirates who had evolved the ability to heal mental power. Wu Yan had also tried it, but the feeling of being better than nothing was worse than scratching an itch through a shoe. Wu Yan gave up after trying it once. It would have been better for him to be honest and wait for his mental power to recover on its own!
After all, in order to carry out treatment, you have to allow the other person's mental power to enter your own sea of consciousness, which feels very bad.
But this time he didn't feel extremely uncomfortable. Instead, Wu Yan had a delusion that if possible, he could have more.
"If you keep pretending to sleep, you won't have any food."
Rice? This concept is quite novel.
As Yun Wanwan finished speaking, a strange fragrance came into his nose and Wu Yan suddenly opened his eyes.
What is this? Why does it smell so good?
This magical smell was completely beyond Wu Yan's imagination and cognition, and instantly aroused an illusion called appetite. His stomach, which had not eaten for a long time, even made a completely uncontrollable noise.
Gurgle!
A very loud chirp.
Wu Yan: "..." Don't bully him for being ignorant, he also knows what this sound means.
Yun Wanwan: Phew.
She didn't want to laugh, after all, it wasn't nice to laugh like that, but Wu Yan's expression was too funny. Yun Wanwan couldn't help herself after witnessing his expression change. Although she didn't laugh out loud, she couldn't hide the deepening smile.
Wu Yan felt uncomfortable for a moment, then he accepted his current situation. His expression changed and finally became calm. The corners of his evil fox eyes were slightly round and soft, making him look contradictory and full of temptation.
He also looked like someone who was not easy to deal with. He was the person Yun Wanwan disliked dealing with the most. He was a scheming and intelligent person, but most of the time he was stubborn and stubborn. To put it bluntly, he was paranoid. Adding to the impression from their first meeting, this guy was very reckless when it came to provoking people, making him very difficult to deal with.
"Eat now, or your stomach will protest again."
Yun Wanwan placed the steaming bowl in her hand in front of Wu Yan. A few delicious little mushrooms were floating in the clear soup. These little mushrooms were the ones that were being bred the most recently. After all, no matter how much she bred them, it would not be possible to completely break the laws of biological growth. The spiritual power she could provide was just to make these new little mushrooms pure and pollution-free. Mushrooms themselves grow fast, but for other plants, it was unknown how long it would take for them to bloom, bear fruit, and mature.
Yun Wanwan tried it and found that only the completely new plants in her hands could shed the pollution and become pure and harmless. No matter how much spiritual power she injected into the mutated plants that had already merged with the pollution, they would only produce pollutants.
Of course, the sapling in the small pond was an accident. It was on the verge of a breakthrough. All Yun Wanwan did was to give it a little spiritual power to help it break that boundary and finally take that step successfully.
Wu Yan had never seen such a thing in his life. As a space pirate wandering around the starry sea, the best he could do was to exchange a few more nutrient solutions that suited his taste. For Wu Yan, cooking was just a fairy tale he had heard when he was a child. He had never believed in it.
What Yun Wanwan placed in front of him exuded the fragrance of food, something he had never experienced or imagined before.
Something edible actually appeared before him in this state. He could clearly tell that the aroma of the food was not an illusion; the soup itself was purer than anything he had ever tasted before.
Just a few mushrooms, plus a little soup, just enough to replenish Wu Yan's water.
Wu Yan didn't say anything, and his carefree smile disappeared. His calm expression gave him a different aura. He was already very good-looking, and now that he was quiet, he seemed even better.
After Wu Yan finished eating, he was very respectful, even a little pious, looking at the clean bottom of the bowl, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
"Thank you very much."
"No need, it's just a convenience."
Yun Wanwan's spontaneous actions shocked Wu Yan and reorganized his worldview. Especially this kind of life and this pure food were things that everyone dared not even dream of.
He actually met him on such a deserted garbage planet full of mutant creatures.
Wu Yan twitched his lips, unable to help but think of Shi Kaien. How could that stinky soldier have such good luck, being the first to meet Yun Wanwan? The bowl in his hand was provided by Shi Kaien's army. Wu Yan looked familiar with it; he had also grabbed this kind of supplies before.
It is not easy to survive in today's society. Wu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with robbing other people's things. After all, only people with ability can survive. If you don't want to be robbed, then defeat him. If you can't beat him, then just be honest.
The law of the jungle is the basis of Wu Yan's survival.
But this bowl of soup today opened the door to a new world for Wu Yan, as if all the decades of his life in the past had been wasted.
What does it mean to be alive? Only when you can have a bowl of soup like this every day can you be called alive!
The days before were just a struggle to survive!
Yun Wanwan's eyes widened in surprise. She saw clearly, but after a moment, those beautiful fox eyes actually turned moist and red. No way, just a few mushrooms, and they made me almost cry?
Shi Kane didn’t have this reaction when he ate it?
If she hadn't been sure that the mushrooms she had grown were safe and non-toxic, Yun Wanwan would have suspected that something unexpected had happened.
Then Wu Yan's clear, magnetic voice rang out from afar, choking and stiffening with frightening intensity, "Miss Yun, what should I do to get this kind of food every day?"
After a bite of food, Wu Yan decided to sell himself.
Originally a space pirate, perhaps he once longed for a free life, but now he finds that settling down, drinking a sip of soup, chewing a mushroom, and enjoying the pure air around him, how can he achieve such beauty in life?
Yun Wanwan: Ah?
I never thought the result would be like this.
But considering the situation in this world, it's understandable that Wu Yan made such a choice. Just like Shi Kaien, if he didn't have more responsibilities on his shoulders, he would have chosen to stay and witness the rebirth of this world with his own eyes.
"It's not impossible." Yun Wanwan stroked her chin, seriously considering the possibility of Wu Yan staying, "But what can you do?"
Wu Yan: ...
"I can do everything!" He has learned a lot from childhood to survive, "and if I don't know something, I can learn it!"
"That's not necessary."
In today's world, most operations are now handed over to machines. Take, for example, the little robot Shi Kaien gave Yun Wanwan, which can perform most daily tasks. Aside from its lack of innovation, it can perfectly replace humans in various tasks. Even if it encounters something it doesn't know how to do, it can input a new program to "learn" it, which is faster and more reliable than the human learning process.
Just like the legions of the Fiklan Empire, the mechas fighting on the front lines are all unmanned, which greatly reduces human casualties. Many areas that are not suitable for humans to set foot in can be explored by unmanned mechas.
Mechas like the one Shi Kane drives are the high-end models of the legion. Driving a mecha requires too much mental strength and physical fitness from humans. Everyone who meets these requirements is a treasure of the empire, and sacrificing any one of them is a huge loss.
Ah, I’m getting off topic.
Seeing Wu Yan sincerely requesting to stay and learn anything just to have a bite of the mushroom, Yun Wanwan felt pity from the bottom of her heart.
The most pitiful thing is that even if Wu Yan is left behind, his usefulness may not be as great as that of the little robots working hard outside.
Yun Wanwan was thinking this when a familiar voice sounded like a voice-over:
"Your learning ability isn't even as good as the housekeeping robots out there. How can you have the nerve to stay here?"
Although it was a gentle and soft voice, the words that came out of it were like an icy blade in the cold winter, piercing Wu Yan's heart.
At some point, Shi Kaien came back and stood not far away, looking indifferently at Wu Yan who was still holding the bowl and reluctant to put it down.
That look has already stirred up a storm.
The author has something to say:
Devil's Ivy: Fight, fight!

[Column Pre-collection No. ①]: "Who is not a little princess?" is waiting for the column——
Yun Sangqian never imagined that one day she would be summoned by the God of Story, enjoy the pleasure of time travel, and become an important character in a Shura Field novel that was disguised as an interstellar science fiction but was actually full of melodrama.
The hero in the story, who has extraordinary blood, rises from an insignificant role little by little, endures all kinds of twists and turns and hardships, suffers countless slaps in the face along the way, and achieves success in both love and career, reaching the pinnacle of life.
She was originally a little princess of the empire who was loved by everyone, but she ended up being deserted by everyone and ended up in a miserable state.
When Yun Sangqian realized this, she was holding the plate that the lackey had just brought from the cafeteria. According to the original plot, she would personally put the plate on the male protagonist's head and trample on his self-esteem.
Looking at the male protagonist who was pinned to the ground by his lackeys and unable to move, and smelling the fragrance of food coming from the plate, Yun Sangqian felt that it was not good to waste food.
"I'm hungry. Aren't you hungry?" Yun Sangqian placed the plate in front of the male protagonist very considerately.
It is wrong to bully classmates, it is wrong to fight, and it is even more wrong to waste food.
You are the group’s darling little princess, can’t you just live a good life?
These lackeys around me are simply idle, so they do nothing good all day long and can only play tricks on people - it's all because they don't have enough homework.
Physical training: If fifty laps doesn’t work, then five hundred laps!
Theoretical test: If memorizing it three times isn’t enough, then memorize it thirty times!
Mental Development: ...
Turning around, I saw that when did the lackey team become the imperial idol group?
As for the male protagonist, who has time to remember that poor little thing - wait, what's up with this follower who always sticks behind the little princess?
Brothers, grab your weapons, someone is robbing our house!
——
He was born in darkness and never longed for light. When that ray of light fell before his eyes, he instinctively stretched out his hand and never wanted to let go.

Tsundere·No compensation for cheating·Energetic coward little princess: I can only kiss you once! I don’t care about my face!
