Chapter 24

Number One stood up somewhat helplessly, holding the glass, and returned to Dormitory 303 in an instant.

In the dormitory, Su Ci had already stood up and walked back to the dining table, unpacking the nutrient solution and pouring it into the glass, while the spirit seeds in the clay can were still releasing the signal of "grow-grow-grow-grow-grow". It

was obvious that he was working very hard, not like the lazy kid in the yard at all.

Number One affirmed the spirit seeds in the clay can, then walked towards Su Ci holding the glass, tiptoed and put the glass back on the dining table with great effort.

He put it down very carefully, and although his calves were short, he did not knock over the glass and break it.

After putting the glass away, the child stared at Su Ci and forgot about the two spirit seeds.

Su Ci poured the nutrient solution powder, added hot water into it, stirred it evenly, and then placed the cup of green nutrient solution in front of the child -

yes, it was another mixed vegetable flavored nutrient solution. He redeemed five boxes of nutrient solution powder today, so he got 15 servings of mixed vegetable flavored nutrient solution.

This is great and can be used as food for children.

Number One looked at the cup of steaming nutrient solution in front of him, then looked at the keeper, his black and red eyes were bright, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

The keeper gave him the nutrient solution first!

He still remembered the reluctant look of the keeper in the morning. He didn't expect that now he would prepare food for him without asking him...

Number One was very happy and climbed onto the chair and sat down. Then he saw the keeper put a box next to him.

"This is your nutrient solution. When you are hungry in the future, just make it yourself..."

Su Ci paused. He looked at the child's thin figure sitting on the chair, which was not much higher than the table, and then looked at the height of the automatic water dispenser.

Although the child in front of him was not an ordinary human cub, the "common sense" about parenting that appeared in his mind from time to time still made Su Ci hesitate. It

didn't seem good to do this. The cub still needed care.

"Forget it..."

However, just as Su Ci put his hand on the box of pure mixed vegetable flavored nutrient solution, the child stretched out his hands and hugged the box of nutrient solution tightly.

He looked directly at Su Ci. Although he couldn't speak, his firm eyes conveyed his will to Su Ci very well: I can do it!

Number One is indeed not an ordinary child. Although he enjoys the care of the keeper, he also hopes to do something within his ability, because...

he hopes that the keeper can like him.

When this idea emerged in his mind, the child's eyes flashed slightly, and the fingers that were clinging to the box couldn't help but clench.

He was a little shy, but the look in his eyes when looking at Su Ci was still so clear, full of trust and desire.

Looking at such a pair of eyes, it is really hard for people to say no to him. Su Ci hesitated for a moment, but seeing that the child was so persistent, he finally let him do it.

Anyway, ordinary hot water can't hurt the spirit. If the child really can't do it, it won't be too late to take back the box of nutrient solution.

"Well, let's do it this way for now."

After Su Ci finished speaking, he saw a brilliant smile on the child's face. Such pure joy even infected him.

Is it worth being happy about this?

He didn't understand, but the corners of his mouth still curled up involuntarily.

Because he had just exchanged five boxes of nutrient solution from the logistics department, Su Ci did not save on lunch. He drank ten servings of nutrient solution, plus five boxes of canned beef, before he stopped.

Even after eating so much, he felt only about four-tenths full.

However, Su Ci was not as melancholy as he was in the morning, because he had found a new source of food.

He recalled the image that appeared in his mind when the big spider attacked him. If this image was true, then this big spider... must have a lot of meat on its body.

Su Ci swallowed his saliva.

The memory was too long ago, and Su Ci didn't remember it very clearly, but in his impression, charcoal-grilled spiders seemed to be a good delicacy...

Even if he didn't have the skills of the human race and couldn't replicate the taste in his memory, as long as it was meat, it could replenish nutrition, and Su Ci felt that there should be no food in the world that was more unpalatable than cooled jelly.

So...

Su Ci looked out the window and saw that the sky had become bright again, but it was still filled with red mist.

When will that big spider appear again? Must it wait until the next extreme weather?

Or... is there any way to find it?

Su Ci's mind moved, and the "Keeper's Manual" that he had thrown into the space button appeared in front of him, lying quietly on the dining table.

A drop of Su Ci's blood was stained on the cover, making the originally ordinary book faintly blood-red.

Speaking of which...

Su Ci looked down at his pierced finger. Although it had healed and no scars could be seen, he actually got his finger pierced by a spider silk?

His body is too fragile now.

Su Ci sighed.

As the spirit of this planet, the earth is closely connected to him, and the state of the earth will have a profound impact on him. His current weakness should be related to this.

Therefore, we still have to find a way to prevent the planet from continuing to deteriorate.

Su Ci thought so and opened the work manual in front of him.

He still did not change his mind just now. After all, getting rid of the evil big spider is also contributing to the recovery of this planet...

However, when Su Ci unfolded the work manual, he turned it page by page from beginning to end, and finally even the whole book flew into the air and shook, but nothing fell.

Not to mention spider silk, there was not even much dust.

Su Ci looked at the work manual in front of him and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Did it fall into the space button?

The spider silk was very thin, and the color was also transparent with a faint red. It was a short piece, and it fell in a corner. It was really not easy to find it.

Su Ci took out the space button again and scanned it. Then, when he saw the messy space button, he decisively retracted his gaze.

It really makes me feel bad to look at it for one more time.

Forget it, let it go. Next time when the weather is extreme, I will stay and have a good taste of the big spider when I meet it. After all,

the people in the action team know the characteristics of the big spider so well and must have fought it many times, so there will still be opportunities in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Ci casually threw the work manual on the coffee table. At

this time, No. 1 had also finished his cup of nutrient solution. He sat obediently and quietly, looking at him with his round eyes.

Kind of cute.

Su Ci reached out and took his glass, put it into the automatic dishwasher, and then with this little tail, continued to place micro-water purification arrays on several water outlets in the dormitory.

After the attempt just now, Su Ci has become very skilled in drawing water purification arrays. He can draw a water purification array with just one stroke, which is convenient and quick.

Each of these miniature water purification arrays is only the size of a child's finger. It is attached to the inner wall of the water outlet and is very hidden.

Because the array is small, even if it is used every day, the energy consumed is not much. Su Ci can maintain it for about half a month with one energy injection.

When Su Ci was drawing the magic array, No. 1 was watching curiously beside him. From his surprised little expression, it seems that he can understand the role of these miniature water purification arrays.

Su Ci was very focused when he was working. He ignored No. 1's onlookers, dealt with the water outlet in the kitchen, and went into the bathroom again.

The shower head and the water pipe are integrated, so it is not easy to carve it on the inner wall. He can only do the next best thing and carve it on the back of the shower head. Fortunately, the circle is very small and most people can't notice it.

However, usually no one would come into this room.

Su Ci finished carving the last miniature water purification array. When he turned his head, he saw that the child was looking at it very seriously.

"Do you know what this is?" he asked.

Number 1 shook his head. He had never seen this in the base. He had seen some drawings of machine parts, but none of them looked like this.

He could sense a weak energy from it, tainted with the strong breath of the keeper, but a bit like the purification power he felt from Doctor Gu, which made him feel very comfortable.

Su Ci turned on the water valve.

"Hua La La -"

Water gushed down from the showerhead, and the miniature water purification array carved on the showerhead also emitted a faint light as the water rushed out.

Although Su Ci carved a total of three miniature water purification arrays on the showerhead, the light they emitted when they were running was too inconspicuous, close to the natural light flowing on the surface of ordinary metal under the light.

Unless you get close and look carefully, it is impossible to detect it.

However, even with such a tiny magic circle, the water sprayed out from the shower became very clear after being purified by it, and the presence of pollutants was basically undetectable.

Encouraged by Su Ci's eyes, No. 1 stretched his little hand under the shower and let the cool water fall on his palm.

So comfortable!

The water sprayed out was actually purified... No, it was not just purified, there was also an unknown thing in the water. It was

very subtle and could not be detected without careful feeling, but No. 1 knew that it really existed, and his body was still longing for it.

The child looked at Su Ci, his black and red eyes full of surprise and admiration.

He knew that purifiers were very important to the base because they could purify pollutants, but even purifiers couldn't make such a device!

How amazing! How did the breeder do it?

Su Ci seemed to understand what he meant, and with a slight smile on his face, he whispered temptingly, "Do you want to learn?"

When the miniature water purification array took shape, Su Ci knew that this was a good thing.

Water is the source of all things, and all living things cannot live without water. He wanted to restore the vitality of the planet, and this array would definitely be used frequently in the future.

One more person who masters it means one more helper.

And who would be more suitable than the child in front of him who is also a spirit?

Number One did not disappoint Su Ci's expectations. After hearing what Su Ci said, he nodded his head vigorously. His big, bright eyes fully showed his enthusiasm for learning.

"Very good, this kid can be taught."

Su Ci curled his lips with satisfaction and reached out to touch the kid's head.

Number One, who was suddenly touched on the head, blushed slightly. Although he didn't know what "kid" was, he understood the last three words.

The keeper can teach him!

Then in the future... can he become as good as the keeper? Then, will the keeper like him more?

There are eight cubs in the brooding house now, including himself, and more cubs will be sent here in the future, so the keeper is not just his keeper.

Number One understood this from the beginning.

However, the gentle and attentive look of the keeper when taking care of Number Eight still gave the child a strong sense of crisis.

Although it was inevitable to share the keeper with other cubs, he still wanted the keeper's eyes to be more on him...

With desire, there was naturally motivation.

Su Ci closed the shower, and when he lowered his head, he saw the child tilting his head back, looking at him eagerly.

Who wouldn't like a proactive, serious and enthusiastic student? Anyway, seeing the child's eager expression, Su Ci's mood suddenly became good.

He rarely bent down, picked up the child, and brought him to the living room.

Having the opportunity to get close to the keeper again, No.1 was nervous and happy, his face turned red, and at the same time, he became more determined

to study hard, so that the keeper would like him!
