It has the texture of fresh octopus, oh no, I mean it's cute.
Zhou Jinze relaxed a little and once again offered the apple puree to Qian Yuan's lips.
This time, Qianyuan finally managed to eat it.
I only ate about a spoonful.
The original transparent blue color has turned into the pale yellow of apple puree.
Zhou Jinze could see the food inside the baby octopus at a glance.
"Eating so little."
Zhou Jinze couldn't help but whisper.
Qian Yuan's eyes widened. Considering his size, it was already impressive that he could eat so much! And she was complaining that he wasn't eating enough? Wasn't she afraid of stuffing him to death?
But no matter what Qian Yuan wanted to say or how angry he was, he always kept staring with those beady eyes.
It looks like an octopus toy.
Seeing that Qian Yuan had finished eating, Zhou Jinze put him back and then went to attend to his own business. However, two hours later, his researcher came to find him again.
"Captain Zhou! The little octopus is hungry!"
"Didn't you just eat...?" Clearly, he didn't know that newborn cubs eat small meals frequently, digesting quickly, and need constant feeding from their caregivers.
Zhou Jinze had no choice but to put down his work and go again.
Sure enough, two hours later.
"Captain Zhou, the little octopus is hungry again!"
Zhou Jinze was getting annoyed. He wasn't just focused on C-036; there were so many containment objects that he was constantly busy.
"Wait a while, the monster won't starve to death so easily."
Since he had already said that, the researcher had no choice but to remain silent. When Zhou Jinze finished what he was doing and went over, he saw a thin, shriveled octopus larva hanging by the fish tank.
Qianyuan was starving.
A deflation in a physical sense.
Actually, if he had just not eaten, his body might not have been so plump, but the hunger was unbearable for Qianyuan, so his two beady eyes kept brimming with tears, almost draining all the water out of his body.
And so it became a dried octopus seedling.
Zhou Jinze took emergency measures, forcibly soaking the dried octopus back into the tank. Only then did Qianyuan slowly absorb the water, like being inflated, and regain its bouncy body.
Zhou Jinze now really has to consider the possibility of starving himself to death on C-036.
"Fine, if there's no other way, I'll just keep C-036 with me. So far, he hasn't shown any aggression, so if any problems arise, I can deal with them promptly."
"However, there is no precedent for bringing containment objects with researchers, which could lead to others being unknowingly contaminated..."
“I can detect contamination.” Zhou Jinze touched his scarred left eye with one hand. His eye had been contaminated by an S-class monster, so it had turned somewhat gray.
But he also benefited from this misfortune; if any other monster were to try and corrupt Zhou Jinze again, he would suffer greatly. His left eye would serve as a reminder.
Since Zhou Jinze has already said this, no one else has any reason to stop him.
Zhou Jinze then stepped forward and took away Qianyuan's fish tank.
Chizuru in the jar: Wait...
He had always thought that he lived in at least a bomb-proof tank for imprisoning monsters, or at the very least a large, luxurious fish tank. How come in Zhou Jinze's hands, it was just a small fish tank?
Qianyuan, whose nose is a bit big, sees everything as big and has no concept of his own living tank. It was only when he saw Zhou Jinze pick up the fish tank that he realized how simple and unimpressive his living space was.
He's a mutated monster, after all!
But Qianyuan couldn't speak or express his feelings, so he simply crawled out and lay on Zhou Jinze's hand again.
Zhou Jinze glanced at the octopus hatchling, seemingly unmoved.
So Qianyuan deliberately acted mischievously and bit Zhou Jinze.
Before he even grew teeth, Zhou Jinze felt a slight itch on the back of his hand, and then he simply "popped" the octopus seedling off.
A small red mark was left on the back of his hand.
"You want to eat people? You're so useless."
Qianyuan, who had been mocked, returned to the fish tank, turned her back to Zhou Jinze, and got angry.
Perhaps because Zhou Jinze had angered her too many times, Qian Yuan couldn't hold back any longer. When Zhou Jinze went to see her again, he saw that the octopus seedling, which was originally just a little round, had completely turned into a round and bulging octopus balloon.
Even the tiny tentacles are round and short.
Qianyuan was unaware of his own changes. He was angry as he floated in the water, and it was clear that he was about to suck the water in the fish tank to the bottom.
Zhou Jinze paused for a moment, finally revealing a hint of surprise.
He never imagined that monsters could have the same emotions as humans.
But no matter how well Qianyuan disguises himself as a human, he is still just a monster.
Zhou Jinze took the fish tank back to his room and placed it on his desk: "If you keep sucking water, I won't add any more later, and you'll turn into dried octopus again."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yuan scrambled to the edge of the fish tank and, with a "plop," sprayed water all over Zhou Jinze's collar, using himself as an octopus water gun.
Zhou Jinze: ...
Qianyuan: O. O (Evil God's Gaze)
In the end, Qianyuan still managed to obtain a tank of clean water.
However, when Qianyuan was filling the sink, he saw Zhou Jinze's bathtub next to him. He felt that only a large and luxurious bathtub could highlight his noble status, so he stared at that bathtub with great longing.
But Zhou Jinze didn't receive any of his hints and ruthlessly pushed him back into the water.
Zhou Jinze has started working again.
While idly blowing bubbles in the water, Qianyuan secretly observed Zhou Jinze's house through the transparent glass.
Actually, this isn't really a home; it's more like an employee dormitory.
Moreover, Zhou Jinze was clearly a rigid and boring person. Apart from basic furniture, there was no decoration in the room. It was so clean and tidy that it looked like no one lived there.
This is so boring...
Chiyuki is still a cub.
After all, he has nothing else important to do except eat and sleep.
This time, Zhou Jinze did not feed him apple puree.
Instead, they simply brought the entire fish tank to their dining table and let the baby octopuses choose their own food.
He wanted to see if C-036 could eat all the foods that humans could eat.
Xiao Qianyuan clearly smelled the aroma of food. He whimpered and crawled out, but without a hand to catch him at the edge of the fish tank, he stepped into thin air, turned into a ball of fish, and rolled down into Zhou Jinze's creamy mushroom soup.
Qianyuan: !
But when the little evil god surfaced covered in mushroom soup, the fish was bewildered and didn't know who to be angry with. Since they were already there, they could only drink a bellyful of mushroom soup.
At this point, it was no longer the pale yellow of apple puree, but had turned into a creamy octopus seedling, which looked rather tender.
