Chapter 46
However, Su Ci was not too worried about whether the fruit vine could survive.
With the blessing of the magic of "Dead Trees Resurrecting to Spring", plus these spiritual waters that can promote plant growth, it should not be difficult to make it survive.
A Yan looked at the fruit vines that had returned to green, and there was no sadness in his heart anymore. Moreover, he didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually found that
after the breeder buried the fruit vines in the ground, the little spiritual seed that had been sleeping soundly seemed to have finally "woke up".
Of course, it was not like the one in the clay can, which would shout slogans hard, but fell into a strange silence, as if... it was holding back a burst of energy and accumulating strength.
A Yan tilted his head, not knowing whether his perception was wrong, but he couldn't help but look forward to it.
Is the little spiritual seed about to sprout?
He stared at the fruit vines, and Su Ci ignored him. In his opinion, A Yan's learning speed was already fast enough. If he worked too hard, he might not have the energy to teach him.
Therefore, it is still necessary to combine work and rest, and rest when it is time to rest.
Su Ci stretched and went back to the bedroom to sleep.
He had clearly slept for 100,000 years, but after waking up this time, he became more sleepy than before. This was probably related to the weakness of his spiritual body.
He needed to use sleep to restore the consumed soul power.
Although No. 3 and No. 8 were practicing the flute and were inevitably a little noisy, Su Ci was really too sleepy. He fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, and he didn't stop the two children.
The bedroom was quiet. The work manual that was still in the wall became well-behaved after Su Ci returned.
Not to mention any noise or disturbance, even its presence was minimized, as if it was just an ordinary work manual. It was not
until the evening that Su Ci woke up slowly, and then...
"Gurgle--"
The stomach made a series of empty sounds, and the empty city plan was played again.
That's right, Su Ci was awakened by hunger.
At this time, a strong smell of meat wafted in from outside the bedroom door, which brought Su Ci out of the hazy state of just waking up, and his consciousness was completely restored to clarity.
He sat up and took a deep breath.
The next second, Su Ci appeared at the dining table, and at this time, A Yan had just put the prepared dinner on the table.
There were already four plates on the table, each filled with hot delicacies that had just come out of the pot.
Seeing the keeper suddenly appear, A Yan was stunned at first, and then a happy smile appeared on his face. He pushed a plate close to him in front of Su Ci like a treasure, and then picked up the fork and handed it to him.
Su Ci's eyes stayed on the plate pushed by A Yan.
Judging from the texture, this should be made of canned beef cubes, but it seems that something else has been added -
Su Ci carefully identified it and found that it was the flesh of the star chain fruit. After adding it to the beef cubes and stewing it, it became a brand new dish.
Although I don’t know how it tastes exactly, it smells quite fragrant.
Su Ci took the cutlery, picked up a piece of beef cube, put it into his mouth without hesitation, and then closed his eyes in enjoyment.
The beef cubes cut into cubes have been marinated and are very tasty. After stewing, they did not become dry. They are chewy and soft, and paired with the sweet and refreshing taste of the star chain fruit, it is indeed an amazing combination.
If it could be poured over the fragrant white rice, Su Ci felt that he could eat two or three bowls in one go.
Unfortunately, there was no rice now.
Su Ci suppressed his regrets and began to feast. He ate most of it in a row, and after alleviating the hunger in his stomach, he looked at the plate next to him.
This was naturally meat, but it was not beef or chicken, but... Su Ci sniffed it gently, and then came to the conclusion:
it was mutton!
The mutton was also cut into granules. After being roasted, the surface was golden and slightly burnt, and the oil that flowed out was bright in color and steaming. Coupled with spicy spices, it was delicious.
Su Ci couldn't wait to taste it.
A Yan also sat down at the dining table, drinking his mixed vegetable-flavored nutritional liquid while watching the keeper happily.
He liked watching the keeper eat, and it seemed that he would never get tired of watching.
The portions prepared by A Yan were quite large, with a total of four plates. Su Ci drank the nutritional liquid and ate about 60% of the food in the end, but he still didn't finish it completely.
But Su Ci didn't continue.
He moved a plate in front of A Yan and said to the child, "A Yan, you eat too."
The young man's eyebrows curved, and even his gentle voice was filled with an obvious smile. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this meal, and he didn't feel reluctant even when he shared it with A Yan.
Or, Su Ci, who always ate alone, has become accustomed to sharing food with A Yan.
A Yan looked at the dozen or so pieces of meat left in the plate, and then saw the smile on the breeder's face, so he did not refuse, and picked up the fork and ate all the meat in the plate.
The meat was fragrant and soft, so delicious!
Su Ci drank the nutrient solution to quench his thirst, and then saw A Yan's satisfied look, and he felt in a good mood.
"A Yan, how do you know how to cook these foods?" he asked.
A Yan thought for a while, then showed a confused expression. He took out a pen and paper from the space button, wrote the words on the paper, and then showed it to Su Ci.
[I can do it at a glance.]
So he couldn't answer how he knew it specifically.
Su Ci nodded and fell into thought.
Generally speaking, only when A Yan was born did he come into contact with these things and form memories in his subconscious mind, so when he came into contact with them again, he would remember these knowledge again...
If this is the case, A Yan's consciousness should have been born before the red mist formed on the Hell Star and it began to become desolate, but it took him a very long time to grow into a real spirit.
Of course, A Yan is a cub in the nursery, and theoretically, he should be a spirit born on an alien planet.
But Su Ci felt that this theory was not valid.
He could sense in A Yan a kind of familiarity that came from the same origin, and as A Yan mastered the power of the divine text, this feeling became stronger.
A Yan was definitely a spirit born on this land.
Perhaps it was because of this sense of familiarity that he became more and more soft-hearted towards this child - of course, more because this child was indeed likable.
Then, there was another possibility.
A Yan was a rule-based spirit, and the rules he mastered allowed him to quickly acquire this kind of knowledge.
Both possibilities were very likely, but if it was the latter, then what kind of rules could have such characteristics?
Even the knowledgeable Su Ci couldn't think of the corresponding thing for a moment.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Su Ci didn't bother about it. Anyway, as he got to know A Yan more and more, he would know it one day.
At least such characteristics would be beneficial to A Yan's future growth, and at the moment, A Yan had already begun to display his talents. The more
Su Ci looked at A Yan, the more satisfied he felt, but...
as long as it is a living being, it has a lifespan.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Su Ci couldn't help but think deeply about it.
Even if A Yan could live for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, for him, it would be just a moment in his endless life...
After all, he would be the only one left in the end, and the smile on Su Ci's face faded.
A Yan looked at the keeper a little helpless.
He could feel that the warmth in the keeper's eyes was fading quickly, until finally, those eyes were hidden behind the thick fog again.
A Yan's heart ached for some unknown reason.
A lonely figure vaguely emerged in his mind... A Yan couldn't help but open his mouth. He wanted to make a sound. He felt that he had a lot of things to say in his heart, as if they had been buried for a long time, hazy and about to break out.
Unexpectedly, when he tried hard to mobilize his vocal cords, the notebook in his hand suddenly began to turn pages automatically.
"Swish, swish, swish-" " Swish
, swish, swish-"
The paper turned over, making a rapid sound, and finally stopped at the penultimate page.
There was a complete divine text written on it-it was the result of A Yan's practice for an afternoon while Su Ci was sleeping.
The divine text was flowing with a light golden spiritual charm. With the blessing of this spiritual charm, A Yan uttered two words smoothly.
"Su Su..."
The child's voice was still dry and hoarse, but it sounded much better than before.
A Yan looked at Su Ci deeply, and the figure of the young man was reflected in his black and red eyes, as if he had been looking at him like this for many, many years...
and after he said these two words smoothly, the spiritual charm on the divine text quickly dimmed, and finally even the ink was blurred.
After that, A Yan could no longer make a sound.
Su Ci was also surprised by this change.
He stared at A Yan in a daze, watching his little hand reaching out to him, as if he wanted to touch him.
However, in the end, Su Ci did not choose to hold that hand back.
He avoided A Yan's sight, not looking at his gradually dimming eyes, and said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you not to be stubborn?"
Looking at the blurred traces of the divine text on the notebook, Su Ci had to admit that A Yan was indeed a genius. He had just learned the divine text and was able to use its power.
Of course, he might have done it unconsciously, but this also shows his genius.
"Please suspend the study of the divine text today." Su Ci said, "I will teach you the formation tomorrow."
Then he stood up, waved his hand, and the dishes on the table went into the dishwasher and started to wash automatically, and Su Ci left the dormitory.
From beginning to end, Su Ci never looked at A Yan again, and seemed a little indifferent, but looking at his back as he hurriedly left, it seemed more like he was fleeing.
However, A Yan did not notice this.
He slowly lowered his head, and his eyes were dimmer than ever before.
Su Ci walked up the stairs to the fourth floor, and the nanny robot 4586 was also coming out of the elevator.
After discovering Su Ci, it greeted happily: "Su Su, it's dinner time for the babies! Come over and help deliver the food, otherwise the babies will be too hungry!"
Su Ci did not refuse. He picked up the number 3 portion and entered room 403.
Number 8 was still in Number 3's room. He had been practicing flute with Number 3 for the whole afternoon. When he smelled the aroma of food, his stomach started growling.
However, he didn't want to go back to his room.
He liked staying with Number 3. Although Number 3 didn't like to talk and didn't let him touch his ears, when he talked, Number 3 would listen quietly and didn't find him annoying at all.
This was much better than Number 5!
"Number 8, you should go back." At this time, he heard the keeper say this.
Number 3, who was standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wanted to learn to play the flute, he would have no flute after Number 8 left, but he had been learning for an entire afternoon and he felt that he could take a break.
However, Number 8 obviously didn't agree with him.
The next moment, the young boy opened his arms and hugged No. 3, frightening the child so much that his whole body stiffened.
"I won't go back!" No. 8 shook his head and said in a naughty way.
No. 3, who was tightly hugged by him, became more and more tense, and his pale little face seemed to be about to disappear at any time.
Su Ci gently put the lunch box on the table. He didn't say a word, but just looked at No. 8 quietly.
The young boy, who had a savage look on his face, slowly began to wander his eyes, and then gradually became confused, and the savage look on his face was replaced by guilt.
He pursed his lips, and finally let go of his hand reluctantly.
"Just go back... why are you looking at me like that?"
As if he was not trustworthy...
If he didn't need Su the keeper to teach him how to play the flute, he wouldn't be controlled by him like this! How annoying!
The little wolf cub grumbled, and beside him, the stiff body of No. 3 finally relaxed a little. He quietly moved to the side, but he didn't dare to move too much, for fear that No. 8 would notice him and he would come over again.
At this time, the hair on No. 8's head suddenly fluttered again. He thought of something and said excitedly: "Then I will go back after dinner!"
He argued, "You just said you would pick me up at dinner time, but you didn't say before or after dinner."
Su Ci thought about it and it was indeed the case.
He looked at No. 3 beside him, but before he could ask, as if he had guessed what No. 3 would say, No. 8 had already said, "No. 3 also agreed to let me stay!"
He looked at the little boy with a burning gaze, "Right, No. 3?"
No. 3 held the bamboo flute tightly in his hand, his lifeless and out-of-focus light blue eyes revealed a bit of pity. But in the end, he still nodded very slightly and said "hmm" weakly in his baby voice.
Since No. 8 had been staying here for the whole afternoon, it didn't matter if he stayed a little longer.
"Hehe, No. 3, you're so nice!"
Then, he shook his big tail with a beaming face, grinned at Su Ci, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, so big that his teeth were visible.
Although Su Ci felt that No. 3 probably agreed reluctantly under the pressure of No. 8, it was not a big deal, and it would not hurt to agree.
"Okay, then you stay a little longer." Su Ci said.
"Great!"
The little wolf cub cheered, and then took the initiative to follow Su Ci, saying happily: "I'll go with you to get the lunch box! By the way, can I go see No. 5? Is No. 4 back?"
No. 8 has the best relationship with No. 4 and No. 5, but today he played with No. 3 all day, and he felt a little guilty.
Hearing No. 8's question, Su Ci paused slightly, and he turned his head to look at the metal wall that separated No. 4 and No. 5's room.
No. 5...
She might not want to see No. 8 now.
The metal door opened, and 4586 slowly floated into room 4 and 5, carrying a lunch box.
The nanny robot placed the lunch box on the table, and then, with the electronic sound spinning, it finally found the little girl huddled in the shadows with her knees hugged in the gap between the bed and the wall.
"Little baby 55, come and eat!" it said softly.
The little girl raised her head and looked into 4586's eyes, which were as swollen as light bulbs. She sobbed and said in a tearful voice, "Where's my brother? I want my brother..."
"Si Si is still recuperating in the medical purification center."
4586 coaxed softly, "Wu Wu must eat well, so that your brother won't worry. Brother loves our little baby Wu Wu the most!"
Number Five sniffed and hummed softly, but soon her mouth swelled up again.
"4583... can't come back?"
"It was because it was trying to save me... that it was thrown against the wall by No. 2... and it was killed..."
As she spoke, the little girl burst into tears, "And my brother... my brother also had a fight with No. 2..."
Seeing her crying so sadly, 4586 suddenly became anxious. It struggled to squeeze into the gap and clumsily hugged the little girl with its not soft but slightly warm body.
"Don't cry, Wuwu, 4586 will always be with you." It comforted her gently.
Number Five sobbed, hugged 4586's plump metal shell with her little hands, and rubbed it with attachment. After a long time, she calmed down and said softly but clearly: "4586, you have to hide."
"Little Five, what are you talking about? 4586 doesn't understand." The nanny robot switched its mechanical arm to a soft sponge, gently patting the little girl's back to help her breathe.
"When I encounter danger, you have to hide."
Number Five, who is usually not very articulate, clearly expressed her meaning at this moment, "You can't get into trouble, you can't die like 4583."
There is obviously no such setting in the nanny robot's program, and it has no way to respond to Number Five's feelings.
It could only continue to comfort her based on the triggering keywords: "When little baby Wuwu encounters danger, 4586 will protect you at all costs, so you don't need to be afraid."
Number Five suddenly became angry.
"I don't need it!"
As she roared angrily, the linen-colored lion ears on the little girl's head appeared again, and her eyes quickly turned to the beast.
"I don't want your protection! You need to hide, do you hear me?"
The electronic eyes of the nanny robot flashed, and a line of text appeared in its AI program:
[It has been detected that the emotions of cub No. 5 are out of control and are entering a frenzy. The sedative No. JH05493 will be released in 30 seconds to control it. To avoid being attacked, you need to leave room 404 immediately.]
[Countdown starts: 30, 29, 28...]
The mechanical arm of 4586 slowly let go of No. 5.
However, in the crazy flashing of the electronic eyes, the mechanical arm of the nanny robot fell on the little girl's back again and patted her gently.
"Five-five... baby, be... good..."
The intelligent program of 4586 seemed to have a malfunction. The sound became intermittent, and even the sound of electric current could be heard.
Number 5, who had been in a rage, was suddenly startled.
A light flashed in front of her eyes.
She saw a light golden spot flying towards her. Before she could react, the spot of light fell into her brow. Number 5's brain, which had fallen into chaos, regained a bit of clarity.
"Five-five... zizi... baby... zizi..."
She heard the voice of 4586. The zizi sound of the electric current made her shudder. She seemed to remember something. The expression on Number 5's face was replaced by panic and fear.
“4586...4586..."
"What's wrong with you? Please...please don't die...wuwuwu..."
Tears as big as beans rolled out of the little girl's eyes again. As she cried, her brown and yellow beast eyes returned to normal.
[Ding ding - Detected that the frenzy state of cub No. 5 has been interrupted, stop releasing the sedative No. JH05493, and comfort cub No. 5 immediately]
As this paragraph of text appeared, the flashing current in 4586's electronic eyes disappeared, and its voice returned to its soft and smooth voice again.
"Why is baby Wuwu crying again? 4586 is a robot, and robots will not die."
The electronic eyes of the nanny robot turned into a smiling pattern, "Are you hungry, baby? Let's have dinner! After dinner, 4586 can draw with you."
Seeing the nanny robot return to normal again, No. 5 wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, pursed his lips, and hummed softly.
"Little baby, you are so good!"
4586 was generous in his praise. He gently pulled the little girl out of the shadows and let her sit on a chair. "Do you need 4586 to feed Five-Five?"
Five shook her head, wiped her face with a tissue, and then picked up a small spoon to scoop the jelly into her mouth.
4586 did not leave. He stayed by her side, staring at the little girl with his electronic eyes. Every time she took a bite, he would exclaim in exaggeration.
It was as if the little girl had accomplished something incomparably great.
Unconsciously, a smile appeared on Five's face, and his mood seemed to be completely stable.
In the next room, Su Ci took his hand back as if nothing had happened. He lowered his head and said to No. 8, "Let's go and get your dinner."
Seeing that the keeper ignored his words, No. 8 curled his lips.
Of course, he didn't dare to disobey the keeper.
He discussed a lot of ideas with No. 3 this afternoon, and also encountered a lot of problems. He was waiting for tomorrow's activities to ask the keeper.
As for No. 4 and No. 5...
it will be the same when they meet again tomorrow! Then he will show them how he plays the flute!
Thinking of this, the little wolf cub suddenly forgot all his unhappiness, followed Su Ci happily, and started chatting about food.
"Oh, oh, do you have any more chips?"
"Yes."
"I want some..."
"No."
"Don't be so stingy, give me some more." No. 8 didn't realize that he was getting more and more skilled in responding to Su Ci's pleading and acting cute.
"Or what do you want? I can exchange with you!" He hesitated for a moment, then said, "In addition to ears, I also have a tail!"
