Xia Lunong finished a whole bowl of tomato fish head soup with a grunt, patted the bowl wall with his paw pad, looked up at his brother with his green cat eyes, and indicated that he wanted another bowl.

His brother stretched out his big hand, picked him up and gently rubbed his belly.

The kitten's belly is too thin.

When he rubbed it, the elastic and soft belly was full of food, which almost broke his belly.

He felt uncomfortable with the rubbing, stretched out his paw and placed his soft paw pad on his brother's hand, pushed it forward in refusal, raised his head and looked at his brother, "Meow."

If you rub it again, he will vomit.

Xia Huoqu lowered his head, "You know you're full, but you still want to eat?"

The kitten rolled over in his palm and came out, then raised its head and continued to meow, "Meow."

It wasn't too full, and if it tried hard, it could have another bowl.

Xia Huoqu gently pushed the kitten, pushing him sideways more than 20 centimeters away from the tomato fish head soup, "Go play."

The cat's paws pressed on the table, making a slight "slurping" sound when rubbing, and the cat's face was full of resentment.

Xia Huoqu was unmoved.

Xia Lunong didn't know what he was thinking at the time. He looked at his brother's calm face, his brain twitched, his body tilted, and the whole cat fell on the table, belly up, and looked at his brother with his front paws hooked, "Meow."

He acted cute very naturally.

Then, he clearly saw his brother's mouth twitch.

"Puchi——" Yan Xinian laughed at the side, and when he saw the kitten looking over, he put on an expression of trying hard to hold back his laughter.

Xia Lunong was dumbfounded for a moment, and immediately realized what he had done.

A huge sense of shame surged in his heart, and the kitten suddenly turned over and stood up, running down the table on his four short legs, and ran into the room at almost the speed of a leap, and pushed up from under the bedside table and crashed into the cabinet.

Before he could catch his breath in the cabinet, he heard Yan Xinian's laughter from outside, finally unable to hold back: "Hahahahaha!"

The laughter was so loud that it almost shook the ceiling down.

The kitten's head hit the cold drawer, and the expression on the cat's face was shy and annoyed, and he wanted to shut himself off.

The kitten did something stupid and never stepped out of the drawer again that night.

Fortunately, his brother was considerate and didn't care about him.

The next morning, he wagged his tail, pretending nothing had happened, and walked slowly to the kitchen with cat steps.

He smelled a fresh smell of blood, and heard the sound of chopping vegetables.

When he walked into the kitchen, he saw the ribs on the chopping board at a glance. Each rib was clearly visible, and it was covered with pink meat, which looked very fresh and tempting.

His brother was chopping the ribs with a knife, and there was already a small basin in the washbasin next to him.

The kitten was drooling, took a few steps forward, looked up and called to his brother, "Meow?"

"Are you awake?" Xia Huoqu looked down at him, "Eating spare ribs this morning?"

Xia Lunong had no objection, and rubbed his brother's trouser leg with his head, "Meow."

Where did so many spare ribs come from?

His brother didn't understand what he meant, and gently pushed him away with his foot, "You go play, I'll chop the spare ribs and then accompany you."

Xia Lunong was pushed away, and turned around a few times in a depressed mood, ran outside under the tea table, and came back with a paper and pen in his mouth with difficulty.

His brother realized that he had something to say, took the paper and pen from his mouth, opened it and put it on the ground, and patiently asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Lunong held the pen in his mouth and wrote with difficulty: spare ribs, expensive, too much.

"It's rare to have such good spare ribs today, so I exchanged a little more." Xia Huoqu said, "It's not that expensive."

Xia Lunong looked up, her emerald eyes met his, her furry cat face was full of worry, and she lowered her head and wrote again: Life is not going well?

Xia Huoqu realized what he was worried about, and said helplessly: "It's really not expensive. The medicines you found are very valuable. In exchange for these spare ribs, it only took two bottles of vitamins and two bottles of calcium tablets."

These two days were busy and chaotic, and Xia Lunong had forgotten about the pills.

When he heard his brother mention it, he looked at the big basin of spare ribs in the washbasin, and remembered the specifications of the vitamins he found that day. It seemed that there were only 60 tablets in a bottle. He didn't remember the calcium tablets, but it wasn't a big bottle.

This deal is too easy to do.

Seeing that he was in deep thought, Xia Huoqu gently pushed him, "Okay, go play, I'll steam some ribs for you today."

Xia Lunong didn't want to play, he just wanted to watch the ribs in front of him turn into delicious steamed ribs.

He turned around, took a run-up on the ground, and with a leap, he easily climbed to the top of the side of the bowl cabinet, lying on it with his paws tucked in, looking down at his brother.

Seeing that he didn't want to go out to play, Xia Huoqu didn't persuade him much, and chopped the ribs with a machete, cleaned them, took out a plate, grabbed a large plate full of them, added salt, soy sauce, and wine to mix, and then put them in the pot to steam.

"Meow!" Xia Lunong meowed anxiously twice, and tried to jump down with his paws. He wanted to jump down, but it felt a little high. The ground below made him feel timid.

The cat tried to jump down with his paws, but he couldn't jump down. He kept meowing anxiously.

Xia Huoqu washed his hands, wiped them with his apron, walked over and pretended to catch him, "What's wrong?"

"Meow." The kitten jumped into his arms, stretched out his front paws to point at the paper and pen, he wanted to write.

Xia Huoqu rubbed him, held the kitten over, and took the paper and pen to write for him.

The kitten held the pen in his mouth and wrote hard: No, firewood!

There was a big exclamation mark after the word "firewood", it was really anxious.

Xia Huoqu just remembered and curled his lips, "The ribs need to be marinated, right? Okay, marinate for a while before steaming."

The kitten looked up at his brother and continued to write with the pen in his mouth: Add, flour!

He originally wanted to write "potato flour", but the word potato was too complicated.

The kitten's tail moved, revealing his irritation.

Fortunately, his brother knew what he was looking for and reached out to take the seasoning box.

Since Xia Lunong started cooking at home, he has collected a lot of seasonings for the family, and potato flour is one of them.

These potato flours are washed from the sweet potatoes in the base and placed in the seasoning box. They are a light grayish white and will clump. It looks ordinary in appearance, but it is very easy to use and has a similar effect to starch.

Xia Huoqu, after being reminded by him, scooped a spoonful of potato starch and put it in, smiling and asking, "Is it OK?"

The kitten stretched his neck to take a look, nodded, and continued to write: spicy

Xia Huoqu then cut a few pieces of dried chili and put them in

The kitten wrote again: garlic

This meant to put a few cloves of garlic in.

Even if Xia Lunong transformed into a kitten not much bigger than a fist, he still made his brother run around in circles.

Xia Huoqu did everything he was told.

After the kitten finished writing, he put down the pen in his mouth, yawned, showing two sharp fangs, and sighed in a very human way.

This round of command must have exhausted him to death, mi.

His brother mixed the ribs and set them aside to marinate. After washing his hands and drying them, he came over and rubbed the cat's head, "Thank you for your hard work."

The kitten looked at his brother, stretched out his four paws, and lay on the paper on his side, lying flat on his back.

He had not grown much in the past few days. When the cat lay down, his body was not even as big as an A4 paper. Next to his snow-white belly were his crooked big words, which was a great contrast.

Xia Huoqu couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this. He rubbed his elastic little belly, then lowered his head to marinate other ribs and prepare the side dishes.

Yan Xinian walked in from outside and saw this familiar posture at a glance. His mind immediately recalled the scene of yesterday. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he reluctantly retracted his smile when he received his death glare.

Having already lost face yesterday, the kitten swung its tail and lay quietly on the paper. It had no intention of getting up and had no intention of making things difficult for itself.

His brother picked him up along with the paper and put it aside.

Yan Xinian covered his mouth with his fist, "Shall we have steamed pork ribs for breakfast this morning?"

Xia Huoqu said, "And some fried tomato and eggs."

Xia Huoqu's cooking skills were average, but he was very skillful. When he said he wanted to make fried tomato and eggs, he picked up a tomato and cut a large bowl of it with a knife in a few seconds.

Yan Xinian grabbed one that he hadn't had time to cut yet, put it to his mouth and took a bite.

The sweet juice of the tomato splashed in his mouth, making his mouth water.

Yan Xinian gave the kitten a thumbs up.

The kitten's attention was not on him at all, and he was staring at the pot wholeheartedly.

The fire has been lit, and a raging fire is burning under the stove. A light smoke floats out and floats at the nose of the kitten.

The water in the pot soon boils, and the mist of water vapor mixed with the aroma of spare ribs swirls in the house.

Xia Lunong smelled the fragrance, and his heart was almost at ease. He didn't know when, his eyelids drooped, his belly heaved, and he fell asleep on the paper.

When he woke up again, his brother had already started frying tomato scrambled eggs by the pot. Yan Xinian sat by the stove, putting firewood into the stove eye while talking to his brother.

The two of them had low voices, which formed a background sound with the sound of cooking. It was not noisy, but had a hypnotic feeling like the sound of rain.

Xia Lunong scratched his ears with his paws and continued to sleep.

In his half-asleep dream, the smell of ribs kept wafting into his nose, which made his dream very beautiful.

"Get up and eat."

Xia Lunong heard his brother's voice in his ears. He looked up and saw that the food had been prepared without him knowing when.

His brother took him out with the paper, put the paper and pen on the tea table, put the cat on the table, and put a bowl of ribs in front of him, "Eat."

The cat couldn't eat hot food, so the ribs had been served to him and dried.

Xia Lunong glanced at his two brothers and saw that they had already picked up the chopsticks to eat, so he picked up the ribs.

His brother chopped the ribs into large pieces, and they were quite heavy to hold in his mouth. He dropped them and the whole cat lost his balance a little, and staggered on the table.

Despite this, he did not give up and continued to bite the ribs.

As soon as his fangs knocked the ribs, he soon tasted the meat, which was tender, juicy, and full of meat fragrance, with a completely different flavor.

The kitten narrowed his eyes, put down the meat and licked his mouth, with a happy expression on his face.

The two brothers were watching from the side, and they wanted to laugh when they saw his expression was so vivid.

After Xia Lunong tasted the meat, he continued to bite the ribs.

However, he soon found that he couldn't tear the meat off!

"Meow meow meow?!"

What's going on? !

The kitten's face was full of shock!

He stared at the ribs.

Even if the ribs were steamed to be extremely tender, he couldn't tear them off!

This is impossible!

The kitten didn't believe it.

He gnawed from one end to the other, gnawed from the other end to this end, gnawed with his head straight, gnawed with his head tilted, no matter how he gnawed, he just couldn't bite off the meat!

The kitten stared at the ribs in the bowl, his eyes full of resentment. He was unconvinced and wanted to try again, but his teeth were already sore from gnawing.

"Meow."

He raised his head to ask for help, and immediately found that his two brothers were trying to hold back their laughter, and they were trying very hard to hold back their laughter.

Noticing his gaze, Xia Huoqu coughed lightly and covered up, "I forgot to tear it into pieces for you. Eat a few pieces of scrambled eggs first, and I'll take it back and chop it up for you."

As he said that, his brother quickly picked up the ribs and ran to the kitchen.

He clearly saw that as soon as his brother turned his back, a smile appeared on his face!

"Meow." The kitten stared at his brother, and even his voice became listless.

Is there still brotherhood? !

Yan Xinian was still sitting at the table.

Xia Lunong looked at his brother, hoping to get some comfort.

Yan Xinian covered his mouth with his fist, and with his eyes curled up, he picked up scrambled eggs for him, "It will be fine when you are older."

"Meow!" He knew his brother was also laughing!

Xia Lunong didn't look forward to growing up at all now. He just wanted to know when he could turn back into a human and no longer have to live such a hard life.

Cat life is too tiring.

After breakfast, Xia Huoqu wanted to take Xia Lunong to the fields to replay what he experienced yesterday.

Yan Xinian happened to have nothing to do, so he said, "I'll go with you guys. Are we going to bury the fertilizer today?"

"We have to go to the canteen to see if we can exchange fertilizer. All the vegetables have fruits, so we have to bury fertilizer to get a good harvest."

No matter how useful the supernatural power is, vegetables still need certain conditions to grow, such as water and fertilizer.

Xia Huoqu was a little worried that the tomato plant had so many fruits yesterday, overdrawing its potential. If it was not fertilized in time, it would not bear tomatoes in the future.

Yan Xinian said, "I'll ask the canteen to leave some out. It should be enough for us."

Now is the growth period of crops and fruits. If they don't ask and just go there, they may not be able to exchange fertilizer.

Xia Huoqu had no objection, "Then let's go together."

Today Xia Huoqu specially wore a thin sun-proof jacket with a hood, and the kitten curled up in the hood, so that he would not be watched by the people in the base, and he would not have to walk hard.

Yan Xinian personally picked up a load of fertilizer with a dustpan and went to the field with his brothers.

Xia Huoqu had already weeded yesterday, and the field was very clean. Apart from the crops, there was only dark brown soil.

The two people and the cat stood on the ridge of the field and saw the tomato plant that stood out in the field at a glance.

This tomato is just like a tree!

The huge branches and leaves spread to the side, even blocking the sunlight for the tomatoes on both sides!

This tomato "tree" is not only huge, but the most eye-catching thing is the big tomatoes on it.

The big tomato was as big as a big apple, all red, and looked very festive against the green leaves.

Xia Lunong's eyes widened, and he scratched the edge of his hat with his paws, stood on his hind legs, and looked at the big tomato.

Is his ability so powerful?

Yesterday, the tomatoes just turned red, and the tree didn't grow this big!

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian were also surprised.

"Good guy." Yan Xinian looked at Xia Lunong, "Xiao Nong, your ability is so useful."

He turned his head to look at the crops in the surrounding fields, and his eyes fell on an acre of rice.

If this ability is used on rice, how much can a crop of rice increase?

"Meow." Xia Lunong responded in agreement, and his eyes also fell on the rice field next to him, his eyes full of longing.

Xia Huoqu took out the kitten, held it up to his eyes, and asked, "This ability is so powerful, do you feel uncomfortable?"

"Meow." The kitten shook his head, not at all.

Xia Huoqu said solemnly, "Then let's do the experiment again today. If you feel uncomfortable and can't continue, we will stop immediately."

"Meow." Got it.

The kitten was put down.

He ran around the field at a fast pace and finally chose a pepper.

He squatted under the pepper, closed his eyes and imagined what the peppers on this pepper would look like when they were all red. Then they could make stir-fried meat, boiled fish, spicy chicken...

Oh - can't think too much, saliva is about to flow out again!

The kitten licked his lips and collected some of his thoughts.

This time, perhaps he imagined it intentionally, as he could clearly feel the changes in his body. It seemed

as if something had flowed out of his body, perhaps strength, or perhaps something else. When he opened his eyes again, he felt a little tired.

The supernatural power seemed to have been used, and the next thing to do was to look at the pepper plant in front of him.

The two people and the cat stared at the pepper plant intently.

After looking at it for a long time, Yan Xinian suddenly pointed to a small white flower bud among the branches and leaves, "Look here, the flower is about to bloom!"

The six pairs of eyes of the two people and the cat looked at the flower bud at the same time.

The simple white flower bud grew slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and silently bloomed, and then the petals became thinner and thinner, and small green grains formed in the center of the flower.

The speed was very slow, and the eyes of the two people and the cat were sore from staring.

Xia Huoqu concluded: "I'm afraid we won't see the results until the afternoon."

"I guess so, then let's come back in the afternoon, and we'll bury the fertilizer in the morning." Yan Xinian looked down at the kitten at the foot of the pepper tree, "Are you tired? Can we plant another one?"

The kitten shook his head, "Meow."

Very tired, can't do it again.

His eyelids almost drooped as he spoke.

Xia Huoqu picked up the kitten, took off his sunscreen jacket and put him under the tomato tree, put the sunscreen jacket underneath, and rubbed his head with some heartache, "Take a break, I'll take you home to eat delicious food after burying the fertilizer."

"Meow." The kitten rubbed his brother's hand and agreed softly.

Xia Lunong was very tired and drowsy under the tomato tree.

The sunlight was filtered by the tomato branches, leaving only a few golden dots falling on him, which set off his silver-gray fur on his back very beautifully.

Xia Huoqu bent down and took a look. He saw his brother with his eyes closed, his pink nose twitching slightly, and his pink paw pads stretched out on his side. He felt his heart melt.

When he buried the manure, he deliberately walked to the end farthest from the kitten and started burying it. He dug a big and deep pit to try not to let any smell escape and harm his brother.

Xia Lunong slept all morning, went home to eat, and then continued to sleep.

When he was taken to the field again in the afternoon, the two people and the cat found that the peppers on the tree were indeed red.

They planted two-vine peppers, one tree with two-vine peppers dotted among the green leaves, with more red than green, which looked very tempting.

Xia Huoqu picked one and put it in his palm for comparison. The pepper was longer than his palm, full, smooth-skinned, and heavy.

"Meow." Xia Lunong smelled the green and spicy smell of the pepper stems when the peppers were picked, and rubbed his brother's leg to let his brother continue picking.

The two brothers started picking peppers, and the peppers they picked were enough for half a basket.

Yan Xinian weighed it and said, "At least three pounds."

A pepper tree can produce three pounds of fruits in a day, which is a considerable amount.

Yan Xinian asked: "Xiao Nong, can you use your special ability now?"

Xia Lunong felt it and shook his cat head. He felt very tired and had a strange sense of emptiness in his body. He felt that he couldn't get anything out.

If he insisted on getting it out, he felt that he would get hurt.

Xia Huoqu thought, "Xiaonong is still small in beast form, and this ability is estimated to be a growth type. The range of its use will be larger in the future."

"I don't know when it will grow up." Yan Xinian rubbed the cat's head, "Xiaonong's ability is a bit scary, so it should be kept semi-secret and not exposed to everyone."

Xia Huoqu nodded and said, "We have to study how to use it specifically. It would be a waste if we don't use it at all."

Xia Lunong meowed twice.

His brother picked him up and said with a smile, "I guess you're all tired today, let's go home first."

Yan Xinian followed behind the brothers, "It's a good thing that Xiaonong's supernatural power has been confirmed. Let's go back and open a bottle of wine and celebrate."

"Okay, we can't make this chili with our cooking skills, send it to the cafeteria and let them watch and make some stir-fried pork ribs, stir-fried pork or something. Xiaonong, what do you want to eat?"

"Meow." Anything is fine, as long as it's meat.

Xia Lunong is still a little cat-like and can't eat spicy food. The stir-fried pork ribs, boiled fish, and stir-fried pork made in the cafeteria don't put too much chili, just a little.

But even with just this little bit, the three of them tasted the pure spicy flavor of the chili ripened by supernatural power. It's spicy and sweet, and the quality is very good.

As a kitten, Xia Lunong has a very sensitive sense of taste. He loves this taste so much that he eats hard while hissing and inhaling, and his nose is almost running.

At the end of the meal, he had to meow and lick the cool water to relieve the stinging in his mouth.

Even so, he still didn't give up and kept digging at the food bowl to continue eating.

His brother picked him up by the back and stared into his eyes to stop him, "Okay, don't eat anymore. If you have cat-like diarrhea--"

His brother narrowed his eyes at this, with a threatening look in his eyes.

"Meow." The kitten looked at his brother and acted cute pitifully, but his brother was unmoved and carried him away directly.

After the kitten was carried off the table, his eyes were still fixed on the food on the table. He wanted to turn back into a human form and eat heartily!

For the next few days, Xia Lunong was experimenting with his superpowers.

He was almost certain that his superpowers were in the field of planting, but they were still very weak, and it seemed that he could only apply them to plants as big as a tomato or a pepper at a time.

For example, the grapes in the yard did not grow much after he used his superpowers, let alone produce sweet grapes for him to eat.

There seemed to be a cool-down period after the superpowers were applied. For example, except for the first and second times he applied the superpowers, he would have to wait about three days before he felt the effects of each application of the superpowers. After

this experiment, the kitten fell into self-isolation again. He originally thought that he had developed some extraordinary superpowers, but now it seems that they are just ordinary superpowers.

He was very depressed that his superpowers were so ordinary, and his beast form was still so small, and he was not as majestic as his brother.

The kitten was already tired from experimenting with his superpowers, and when he shut himself off, he became listless.

His brother saw that he didn't even want to eat his favorite fish balls, so he was really worried and took him to see Dr. Ou.

Doctor Ou didn't expect to see them again in just a few days, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"Xiao Nong doesn't look very well. I wonder if he has overdrawn his energy from excessive experiments with superpowers."

Doctor Ou showed a worried expression on her face and immediately said, "Let me take a look."

She began to check, and seeing the listless Xia Lunong, she injected another ball of superpowers into him, "No problem, maybe he is really tired, and the weather is too hot now, so he feels a little uncomfortable."

Xia Lunong's cat type is a forest cat, with a thick layer of soft and flowing cat hair on his body. He looks very fairy-like, but it is not comfortable in the hot summer.

He has been outside for a long time, and sometimes he needs to open his mouth and breathe rapidly to dissipate the heat.

"Meow." The kitten rubbed against Dr. Ou's hand to express his gratitude for giving him superpowers.

Dr. Ou unexpectedly understood his cat language and smiled, "You're welcome. Take good care of it and train it slowly in superpowers. When it's trained, it will be no worse than your brother and Captain Yan."

"Meow." Xia Lunong looked up at her. Dr. Ou, were your superpowers so weak at the beginning?

Dr. Ou didn't understand this sentence, but he could roughly guess what he was thinking.

"Both physical and supernatural powers can be improved through training. Xiao Nong, your beast form is still young, so your potential should be great. If you train well now, you should be able to develop it to the maximum extent. However, I don't know much about this. If you are interested, you may have to go to the White Building to ask."

Xia Lunong knew the White Building. Scientists lived there, but his brother had a general impression of scientists and usually didn't let him go there.

Xia Huo said, "Thank you, Doctor Ou. We'll see later."

Doctor Ou smiled good-temperedly, "It's up to you to decide."
