Chapter 78
When Su Ci walked away, A Yan was not distracted.
He had a feeling that what he was doing was very important - of course, more out of enjoyment, he liked to touch the soil with his fingers, which gave him a very familiar and intimate feeling.
There were more than thirty seeds in the can of spiritual water.
Yuxue, Yingcuidou, and Huangjintaro, these three ordinary seeds obtained from Zhuang Shisong, only three of each, and the rest were seeds of star chain fruit.
The seeds of star chain fruit were collected from the star chain fruit eaten before. After soaking in spiritual water, they also broke the skin and sprouted. The sprouts were tender green and full of vitality.
A Yan left a gap for walking, and then planted these seeds neatly around the two small spiritual buds.
When he buried the last seed and stood up, although his body was dirty, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Then
A Yan returned to the dormitory, took fresh spiritual water, and poured the appropriate amount on each seed.
He didn't need to measure at all, just one look at the green seedling, he knew how much water and fertilizer this little sprout needed, just like he knew how to use a food processor when he saw it.
It was a very wonderful feeling.
A Yan knew that this should be his ability, just like the ability of No. 2 is the red flame and the ability of No. 3 is to control machinery, he also has his own ability.
Although his ability does not seem to be strong, he can help Su Su, and he thinks that such an ability is just right!
After pouring the nourishing solution on the two small spiritual buds, A Yan finally finished his farming work. When he came to his senses, he found that Su Ci had disappeared from his surroundings.
He was not in a hurry, but extended his spiritual consciousness.
The next second, he came to the left side of the front of the building and appeared beside Su Ci.
The young man stood in front of the remains of the giant spider, his eyes showing thought.
The giant spider is worthy of its name - the spider body alone is five or six meters high. If the eight legs stand up, it should be as high as two or three floors.
It was in the process of climbing the wall, and it collided head-on with several wind blades and was chopped to death by the wind blades. The cut surface of the spider leg alone is taller than A Yan.
The wind blade released by Su Ci in anger was extremely sharp, and it also made the cuts on the spider's legs smooth and flat. The thick spider meat was flowing with a crystal clear beauty under the sunlight.
Of course, the only flaw was that the transparent leg meat exuded a light red color. I don't know if it was the meat of the giant spider itself, or if it was frozen by the bloody frost last night.
After taking a few glances, A Yan turned his head and looked at Su Ci beside him.
He seemed to be able to guess what the keeper was thinking...
Sensing his gaze, Su Ci lowered his head and met the child's dark red eyes. He pursed his lips slightly and said tentatively: "Ayan, what do you think it would taste like if you roasted the spider meat?"
Ayan thought about it and took out a pen and paper from the space button.
You can try it, he wrote.
Although he knew that the child should support him, when he really saw what he wrote, Su Ci couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and rubbed the top of the child's head.
"Ayan is so nice." He said.
Ayan blinked, and then a happy smile appeared on his face. Looking at the giant spider, his eyes instantly became full of fighting spirit.
He will definitely work hard to make the spider meat delicious!
Su Ci couldn't help laughing when he saw his expression, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise again.
Although he had never eaten it and didn't know how it tasted, it wouldn't be a big deal to try it...right? The courage to try is a very precious quality.
Of course, Su Ci didn't mean to shirk his responsibilities. He patted the child's head and said, "If you need my help, just tell me."
Su Ci really didn't have any talent in cooking, so the human technology product he had come into contact with so far was probably the food processor.
"Yeah!"
A Yan nodded, then carefully approached the giant spider and began to study it.
Su Ci looked at the child's back and suddenly thought of something.
"Xiaozhi." He called.
The next moment, a transparent light screen appeared in front of Su Ci, and at the same time, the voice of the base's intelligent computer sounded: "Hello, Su Ci, the trainee keeper of the brooding center, how can I help you?"
Yes, Su Ci gave the base's intelligent computer a name, and it now seems to have accepted it well.
"Is there a tool that can convert text into sound?" Su Ci asked.
A Yan can't speak, although he can write in words, it is not very convenient. If there is such a tool, it will be much simpler.
"Communicators and optical computers have similar functions." The intelligent computer replied.
Su Ci turned on the communicator and completed the conversion of a paragraph of text into sound under the guidance of the base's intelligent computer.
In general, it is still not as efficient as instant communication, but it is undoubtedly much better than simply communicating with text. Once A Yan becomes proficient, the speed should be able to be further improved.
"Does the Logistics Department have any extra communicators?" Su Ci asked.
"The number of communicators remaining in the Logistics Department is 58. Among them, 100 points are required to redeem a primary communicator, and 200 points are required to redeem an intermediate communicator..."
Listening to the points required to redeem the communicator, Su Ci's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a little painful.
"As the owner of the highest authority, you should be able to directly call for supplies, right?"
"In an emergency, the owner of the highest authority can directly call for base supplies." The base's intelligent computer said without any emotion, "Please tell me the name of the emergency supplies you want to call for."
Su Ci opened his mouth slightly, and after a little hesitation, he still shook his head: "Forget it, use the points to exchange for a primary communicator and let the robot deliver it to me."
"Received."
"Points deducted successfully, remaining points: 152, robot delivery has been arranged, please wait."
Originally, robot delivery also required points, but as the owner of the highest authority, this convenience can still be given, after all, Su Ci used points to exchange for a communicator.
After confirming that Su Ci had no other questions, the voice of the base's intelligent computer disappeared again.
Su Ci looked at his remaining points and couldn't help but sigh.
Since he has decided to stay in the nursery for the time being, he still has to abide by the rules. This is not only a moral issue, but also a very important point -
the rules will become stronger only when more lives abide by them.
Now the earth is in a state of near disorder and in ruins. In this situation, he should try not to do anything that breaks the rules.
Of course, when the situation is desperate, he will have to do what he has to do.
A Yan didn't know that Su Ci had prepared a gift for him. After carefully observing the giant spider, he ran back and expressed his intentions to Su Ci with gestures.
According to A Yan's perception, the meat of the giant spider is edible, but because it contains extremely high concentrations of pollutants, it needs to be purified.
At his request, Su Ci dug another pool next to the reclaimed mud land, and then drew a series of small and medium-sized clean water arrays at the bottom of the pool.
Pour clean water, and then move a giant spider's leg over.
Su Ci did not throw the spider leg directly into the pool, but at A Yan's suggestion, he first removed the spider leg's shell.
The giant spider's shell is very hard and can withstand the shooting of laser guns. It is a very good material.
It was originally a very difficult task to cut such a hard shell, and it might require the use of a mecha to do it, but this did not stump Su Ci.
He just tapped it lightly with his finger, and the hard shell on the spider's leg broke apart, revealing the crystal clear, thick and plump spider meat inside.
The spider meat wrapped in the shell also had a faint red glow.
Su Ci snapped his fingers again, and the spider meat flew out of the shell and fell gently into the pool. The pollutants released from the spider meat quickly dyed the pool water red, and then were purified by the water purification array on the bottom and wall of the pool.
The giant spider's legs are very long, several times the length of its body. The exact length is difficult to judge, but the spider meat picked out from the first three sections of this spider's leg alone has filled the entire pool. The
rest will have to wait until later.
Looking at the spider leg meat soaked in the pool, Su Ci's eyes almost lit up. He hadn't been so excited for a long time!
He squatted beside the pool, staring at the meat in the water, and looked at A Yan from time to time, urging him with his black eyes that seemed to be able to speak:
Is it ready to eat? When can you eat it? Will it taste good like this?
Facing his eyes like this, A Yan is now very calm.
While staring at the pool water, he patted the young man's head soothingly, and occasionally took out potato chips to satisfy his gluttony.
After soaking for about half an hour, A Yan finally felt that the outer part of the spider meat was completely purified and dried. Only then did Su Ci cut out part of the outer leg meat, and the rest that had not been completely purified continued to soak in the water.
"Wah-la-la--"
The spider meat flew out of the water and landed steadily on the picnic blanket that A-Yan had spread on the ground.
After being purified and soaked in spiritual water, the original light red color was no longer visible. The whole piece of spider meat was white and transparent, with a soft texture like gel, and it glowed in the sunlight.
This piece of meat was about one meter long and half a meter thick, piled on a dark blue picnic blanket. After being cut and soaked, no one could tell that it was actually a piece of spider meat.
Su Ci looked at this piece of semi-processed meat and couldn't help but look forward to the finished product.
Unfortunately, they had no charcoal, and on this now desolate planet, they couldn't find firewood to burn, so in the end they had to move back to the dormitory.
It was lunch time, so A Yan took the piece of meat back to the dormitory kitchen to cook, while Su Ci stayed outside for the time being.
The waiting process was too painful, and he had to find something else to do.
If it was confirmed that the spider meat was edible, then the remaining meat would need to be stored - he and A Yan both had space buttons, but the space was limited and full of supplies, so it was impossible to free up space to store the meat.
Fortunately, after some exploration, he found that there was still some space in the cold storage of the brooding house, so it should not be a problem to store the spider meat.
So Su Ci dug another pool, picked out the remaining meat from the spider leg, and then got the second spider leg and did the same thing.
Soon, another pool was filled, and Su Ci nodded.
Spiders have eight legs, and the meat from these legs alone should be enough to sustain him for a while - of course, the premise is that the dishes cooked from these spider meat are delicious enough.
When the second pool was filled, the spider meat soaked in the first pool had also been purified.
Su Ci waved his hand, and all the spider meat in the pool disappeared and went directly into the cold storage. When he drained the pool water and replaced it with clean water, preparing to continue purifying the spider meat...
a faint fragrance came from the direction of the nursery building.
Almost the next moment, Su Ci put down all the work in his hands and flashed back to the dormitory.
As soon as he returned to Room 303, he smelled a strong meaty aroma, which was completely different from the beef and mutton he had eaten before. It was another wonderful spicy aroma.
Just as he expected, when he arrived at the restaurant, the table was already filled with steaming dishes.
In addition to using the seasoning packets in the space button to make grilled spider meat, not only grilled, black pepper, and spicy flavors, A Yan also used the garlic sprouts and garlic cloves brought back from the cultivation garden to make garlic sprouts and meat, as well as grilled spider meat with garlic flavor.
In addition, there was a large pot of juice squeezed from the star chain fruit, and the remaining pulp and peel were steamed with the spider meat, and then seasoned with pepper and salt, and finally became a very special dish.
The dining table, which was more than one meter long, was filled to the brim, and there were still a few plates that could not be placed, so they were temporarily placed on the kitchen stove.
Su Ci almost couldn't wait to take a seat.
Ah Yan sat opposite him, looking at him with a little trepidation, watching him pick up chopsticks, pick up a piece of garlic-flavored roasted meat, put it into his mouth, and then chew it carefully.
When he saw the young man slightly close his eyes and show an expression of enjoyment, Ah Yan knew that his meal was not a failure!
He slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
And Su Ci, no longer knew what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.
Finally, he got to eat fresh meat!
After the spider meat is roasted, it is no longer a gel-like texture, but becomes milky white. It has a light fresh taste, and is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It has no strange smell and is very similar to the crab meat in Su Ci's memory.
Moreover, this giant spider has been corroded by red mist for a long time, and red mist is a kind of spiritual energy after all, so this giant spider can barely be regarded as a spiritual beast.
After the pollutants are purified, the spider meat contains a light spiritual energy. With the blessing of this spiritual energy, it not only tastes more delicious, but also has a nourishing effect, which is also helpful for Su Ci to restore his soul power.
When Su Ci thought about how much spider meat there was, he was immersed in joy. He no longer restrained his appetite and directly opened his belly to eat all the dishes on the table.
Seeing how fast he was eating, A Yan couldn't help but wonder if he needed to cook more. This table of meat didn't seem to be enough for Su Su to eat...
Just when he was about to slip outside and get some more spider meat, Su Ci finally stopped.
He gulped down a whole cup of Star Chain juice, and when he put the cup down, he couldn't help but burp with satisfaction.
This was the first full meal Su Ci had after waking up!
It was really not easy!
Su Ci, who had eaten his fill, looked at the child sitting opposite him. The more he looked at him, the more satisfied he felt. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He couldn't help but say, "Ayan, you have to cultivate well."
You must grow up well, live a long, long time, and don't... disappear so quickly.
Ayan looked at Su Ci and nodded vigorously.
At this time, he saw the young man flip his palm, and saw a bracelet that looked like a communicator appeared on his palm - when Su Ci was eating, the delivery robot had already delivered the communicator to him.
In order not to be disturbed, Su Ci directly took the object through the air, and then sent the delivery robot away.
He pulled Ayan's little hand, put the communication bracelet on his hand himself, and then exchanged communication numbers.
"You should know how to use this thing." Su Ci said to him, "It can convert text into sound. When you want to speak, just use it to express yourself."
A Yan was stunned.
He looked at the communicator on his wrist. With just one glance, he knew all the functions of this communicator, and the function mentioned by the keeper...
He called up the panel in the communicator and began to fumble with it.
It was just that when he was setting the voice, his movements paused slightly, but he quickly continued to operate.
Finally, input the text.
A Yan clicked to confirm and set the voice conversion.
"Su Su."
A strange voice rang in room 303.
The male voice coming out of the communicator was clear and childish. He called Su Ci in a brisk tone, as if the last note was full of joy. He sounded about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Su Ci was slightly stunned, and then heard the voice continue: "Is this for me?"
He lowered his head and looked at the child in front of him.
Although the voice was very pleasant, it looked like a child of no more than four or five years old, and it felt a bit incongruous to speak with such a voice.
"Well, this communicator is for you."
Su Ci nodded, and after a moment's hesitation, he couldn't help but say, "Ayan, do you want to change your voice? This voice seems a little too mature for you..."
Su Ci didn't say the rest, because he saw the disappointment on Ayan's face.
Ayan... should like this voice very much, right?
"It doesn't have to fit your age." Su Ci changed his words and said, "This can also be used as a means of disguise, so that others can't guess your true situation, and it is also a kind of protection for you."
Hearing this, Ayan's face showed a smile again.
He operated the communicator, and then the gentle male voice rang again: "Well, Susu, you are so nice."
Su Ci listened to this voice, but still felt something was strange.
He originally thought that the voice coming out of the communicator would be an emotionless electronic voice like the base's intelligent computer, but unexpectedly it was an emotional voice like 4586 and the others...
Looking at A Yan's sparkling eyes, Su Ci finally decided to ignore this strange feeling.
Anyway, no matter what, A Yan is A Yan, and this will not change because of other forms.
A Yan continued to operate the communicator.
"Su Su, thank you for the gift you gave me, I like it very much."
Unlike the space button that was just lent to him, the communicator was really given to him! And it can also let him speak... Faced with such a precious gift, A Yan was extremely happy!
Su Su is so good to him! He must make more delicious food for Su Su in the future!
"Ah, as long as you like it."
Although A Yan is A Yan and will not change because of a different voice, this voice... is quite different from what Su Ci imagined, and he still needs some time to adapt.
Next, Su Ci took A Yan to the outside of the brood house building to continue processing the remaining spider meat.
Although he wanted to sleep after eating and drinking, Su Ci was not sure how long the spider meat could be preserved in this environment, so he had to finish processing it first.
He removed the remaining spider legs and carried them to the water purification pool.
The restaurant on the second floor.
Because the cubs were in a stable mood, and Su Ci had said that there was no need to restrict the cubs' behavior in the nursery, 4586 readily agreed when the cub asked to eat in the restaurant.
Unexpectedly, the permission was obtained so easily. The cub was a little confused at first, but soon he came to his senses and rushed to the restaurant with Xiao Zhengxing and Xiao Lujiao.
And No. 6, who had been secluded in the corner, followed them after hearing their movements.
The restaurant had been repaired after the last damage, but there were still traces of the red flames on the wall.
Although only a few days had passed, when they returned to the restaurant to eat, they felt as if a long time had passed. During this period, both their relationship and their mental outlook had changed.
The most obvious change was probably the wolf cub and the white deer.
Under the guidance of 4586, they all sat down in their seats obediently, without making any noise or noise, and tried to keep their voices down.
When lunch was served, the little wolf took his own portion and squeezed in next to Xiao Zhengxing to sit down, and then called the little white deer over.
"Yo Yo, have you thought of the answer to the homework that Su Su gave me?" The little wolf said while eating, full of distress, "If you can't think of the answer, Su Su won't teach us the flute!"
Xiao Lu Jiao was also very worried.
No matter how smart he is, he is just a child under six years old. There are many things that he can't figure out by himself.
He took out the star chain fruit left over from yesterday and thought while chewing it, while Xiao Zhengxing, who was sitting on the other side of the little wolf, also had a thoughtful expression.
The three children huddled together, thinking while eating, and they looked very harmonious.
Number Six, who was two tables away from them, was also eating, but his eyes kept glancing at them from time to time.
Finally, he couldn't help but snorted heavily.
Looking at the plate in front of him, he suddenly wanted to pick it up and smash it, but just as he picked it up, Number Six's hand couldn't help but stutter, and he seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye...
Number Six turned his head.
Next to him was a glass window, through which he could see the scenery outside the nursery building.
Then, he saw -
the frail keeper, lifted a huge spider leg with one hand, and shook it in his hand.
Number Six: "..."
He swallowed, and gently put the lifted plate back on the table.
