Xie Sen couldn't help but sigh that netizens processed the video so quickly!
Maine opened the door, and the four of them entered the living room. Xie Sen sat on the sofa, and Maine patted his shoulder: "I'll go cook."
Xie Sen nodded, thinking about the cabbage that had not been processed yet, and summoned the cabbage. The cabbage was still flat, but much smaller than when it was in the mall. There were many holes on the white petals that were burned black by the drone residue, and it looked miserable.
He pulled over the trash can, picked up a leaf of cabbage, shook it with his hands, and shook the residue into the trash can.
Long Teng extended his hand curiously: "Let me help you."
Xie Sen let go, and Long Teng shook the leaf violently. With a snap, the leaf broke and the cabbage fell down. Long Teng quickly reached out and grabbed it: "Ah, it's broken, I didn't use much force!"
Xie Sen took it back in his hand: "It's okay, the cabbage is very crisp, and the outer leaves are a lot burned."
He held the root of the cabbage with his hands, holding the bottom center, and started pulling out the leaves from the middle. He pulled out the bad leaves and threw them into the trash can. After pulling out two layers, he saw the broken residue on the third layer.
Long Teng didn't mind getting his hands dirty. He grabbed some and looked at them carefully. He pinched a finger-sized piece of white residue and said happily, "Pumpkin seeds!" Then he put it in his mouth.
Bai Jiao grabbed his hand in time: "Don't eat it, it's dirty, throw it away."
Long Teng stared at it with regret for a while, then threw it into the trash can: "Such a big melon seed, what a waste."
Xie Sen also felt it was a pity. If there had been no bombs, the melon seeds would not have been blown to pieces and he could have picked them up and eaten them. But now they were mixed in with the residue and could not be eaten.
He plucked the leaves from the third layer and threw them into the trash can. Many leaves from the lower layers were good. He shrank the cabbage and separated it from the roots. He plucked the good leaves and put them on the coffee table, ready to use them for cooking.
Bai Jiao said: "It's really Chinese cabbage!"
Xie Sen smiled and said, "Yes, it got much bigger before, but now it's normal size."
Although large cabbage leaves can be used to stir-fry many dishes, the taste will become very bland, which he doesn't like very much.
Long Teng squatted beside the trash can, his eyes full of curiosity: "Can it grow bigger and smaller like a potato? That's so cool!"
Xie Sen nodded. Long Teng looked at the sunflower on his left shoulder. "Xiao Kui is also amazing. Her reaction is so fast. When I was watching the live broadcast, I didn't even react!" He tapped the center of the sunflower. "Can you give me some seeds?"
Xiaokui twisted its branches and grew a little bigger. It spat out a handful of melon seeds into Long Teng's hand, then turned its flower disc towards Xie Sen.
Xie Sen smiled and said, "I don't want to eat it." Xiao Kui nodded at the flower, shrunk it back to the size of a finger and continued to stand.
Long Teng was very happy: "Thank you, Xiaokui." He sat back on the sofa, holding the melon seeds in his palm and stretched them in front of Bai Jiao, "Eat."
Bai Jiao did not delay and ate melon seeds with him. Xie Sen smiled and said, "The melon seeds taste better when they are fried. I will stock up some melon seeds and try frying them when there are a lot of them."
Long Teng's eyes lit up: "I want to eat."
After Xie Sen finished processing the cabbage, he patted the residue on his hands and said, "You'll have to do it too." He went to wash his hands, and when he returned to the living room, Maine had already taken the cabbage to the kitchen.
Bai Jiao said: "The video is very popular on the Internet. If you slow it down, you can watch it carefully. I'm sure many people will recognize it."
Xie Sen leaned against the sofa, opened the bracelet and searched for his name. Sure enough, he found a bunch of news about today's activities. At the top was a hot post discussing what the sudden appearance was.
Xie Sen was helpless. He was not going to expose other plants in front of the audience. It was just that the situation was urgent. He barely thought about it and subconsciously summoned the cabbage.
Of course, after thinking about it, he would still do it. There are too many people on the scene. If the debris falls and burns people, it will definitely cause panic. Too many people will easily cause a stampede, which is very dangerous.
He held his chin and thought for a while, then looked at the three people: "Didn't I announce before that my peppers are a kind of mimicry plant? In this case, is it credible to say that Chinese cabbage is another kind of mimicry?"
Long Teng blinked: "Isn't that so?"
Xie Sen really hoped that everyone thought the same as Long Teng.
Bai Jiao smiled and glanced at Long Teng, then shook his head. "It's not very credible. When you attacked with potatoes before, some people doubted it. Mimicry is a change in the basic form. The pepper mimicking potatoes, changing roundness and color can barely be explained, but the cabbage with layers of leaves is too different."
Xie Sen was helpless. He also felt that this excuse was useless. However, his two contracted plants had caused a sensation. If people knew that he had far more than two plants, he had no idea what the consequences would be.
Just as he was thinking, Long Teng suddenly jumped up from the sofa: "What do you mean by what you just said? If it's not a mimicry plant, then..." He looked at Xie Sen with shining eyes, "Aren't the foods we usually eat transformed from peppers?"
"Ahhh, that's so cool, Asen, how many contracted plants do you have?"
Actually there is only one kind!
Xie Sen sighed: "Not necessarily, the variety will increase."
"Asen, you are amazing!" Long Teng shouted, grabbing Bai Jiao's arm, "Ajiao, why aren't you surprised at all..." He paused, his cheeks puffed up in anger, his eyes widened, and he looked sad: "Did you know this a long time ago, but didn't tell me?"
He had a baby face with puffy cheeks, which made him look very cute and funny, but seeing his expression, both of them tried not to laugh.
Bai Jiao was very helpless, and so was Xie Sen. Xie Sen thought it would be better for him to explain this, so he said, "I didn't tell A Jiao, A Jiao guessed it herself. I didn't hide it from you, but it's hard to explain. I don't know why it happened like this."
It was really unexpected that he had a system, and it was inexplicable.
Long Teng's sad look was instantly replaced by a brilliant smile, revealing his white teeth: "Hahaha, you're a good friend. I'm glad you didn't hide it from me."
Xie Sen and Bai Jiao both laughed.
Xie Sen thought, if he didn’t know that Long Teng was a naive person, based on the speed of his expression change, he would definitely think that Long Teng was a talented actor and would even want to suggest that Long Teng go into acting.
After Long Teng finished laughing, he asked in confusion: "Asen, you are so powerful, why do you hide it? If I had a lot of contracted beasts, I would definitely tell others immediately. It's so cool!"
Xie Sen: "Unlike others, I'm afraid of being caught and used for experiments." He lamented, "What should I do? Now that people know about this, will someone come to catch me? Should I run?"
Bai Jiao was surprised: "Why do you think so? I thought... I thought you didn't want to be in the spotlight, and you were afraid that being famous would be too troublesome."
Xie Sen: "That's also the reason. But after the live broadcast room became popular, I stopped thinking about becoming famous. I was afraid of being studied by others."
Bai Jiao asked, "Why are you afraid of research? You don't dare to draw blood?"
Xie Sen shook his head, thinking of the movies he had seen, and shuddered: "I'm not afraid of drawing blood, but I'm afraid of cruel research methods such as slicing, dissecting, and stimulating the brain."
Bai Jiao was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why do you think so? This type of intelligent research is a serious illegal act and is prohibited. No one except criminals would do that."
Xie Sen whispered, "Maybe there is some secret research that has not been made public."
Bai Jiao sighed, "No, plants are precious resources that all planets need. If your situation is exposed, Planet Brant will protect you like a treasure and will never let anyone hurt you."
Xie Sen: "Really? You really won't treat me as a guinea pig?"
Bai Jiao nodded affirmatively: "Of course not." He chuckled, "I'm not sure that those plants are your contracted plants. I just have this guess, but I don't dare to think about it. Even if it's just a guess, I also think that you must not get into trouble - you are hope."
Bai Jiao spoke the last four words very slowly, with each word spoken in a heavy tone. If it weren't for this, Xie Sen would definitely not be able to hold back and complain, saying it was too childish.
Xie Sen waved his hands in shock: "Don't say that, I'm just an ordinary person."
As he was speaking, Xie Sen's bracelet rang. He picked it up and heard Ma Qun's excited voice: "Asen, is this true? Do you have more than two contracted plants?"
Xie Sen hesitated. Bai Jiao's words also made him feel more at ease. If his personal safety would not be affected after the disclosure, he was also looking forward to it. In that case, he would no longer have to hide and could eat whatever he wanted and plant whatever he wanted.
He couldn't tell anyone about the system, so after thinking it over, he admitted, "Yes."
Ma Qun was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his voice: "Great, really great!" He took a deep breath, "You didn't tell me, do you not trust me?"
Xie Sen: "...It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just afraid that someone will catch me and study me."
Ma Qun was surprised: "Why do you think so? Who scared you like that? Is there someone who doesn't want you to tell others? Who is it? I suspect that person has a conspiracy!"
"I myself." Xie Sen felt more at ease seeing Ma Qun's attitude.
Ma Qun choked up and sincerely advised: "You young people, don't always let your imagination run wild. Things that are fictitious have become real because you keep thinking about them."
Xie Sen coughed dryly: "Oh."
Ma Qun asked tentatively: "How many plants do you have now? Are there any fruits? Can you provide some to the researchers? Or should we sign a contract as you requested before?"
Xie Sen: "There are still quite a few. I will send them to you after I sort them out. Some of them are already in the research institute. They are all the plants discovered by Professor Lu."
Xie Sen curled his lips. If he had known this would happen, he would not have bothered Lu Qing and put him in danger. But then he thought again, if this hadn't happened, the research base wouldn't have been discovered. In a few years, the number of alien beasts would increase, and they might attack Star City on their own.
Ma Qun: "You are a good kid indeed. Even though you are scared, you still try to send the plants to the research institute. Thank you for your hard work."
Xie Sen: I don’t have such lofty ideas, I just want to eat openly!
Ma Qun didn't know what Xie Sen actually thought. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Xie Sen had a noble character. He felt so good about himself that he kept praising Xie Sen.
Xie Sen became restless and inexplicably embarrassed, so he had to interrupt his praise, saying that he would send the seeds over when they were ready, and then hung up the phone.
Long Teng laughed and patted his shoulder: "What are you afraid of when I praise you?"
Xie Sen slapped his hand and said, "The compliment is terrible. You know I just want to eat."
Bai Jiao smiled: "It doesn't matter what the reason is. Your act of providing seeds deserves any praise."
Just as he was speaking, Xie Sen's communication rang again. This time it was Mu Lin's voice: "Asen, you kid actually lied to me all along. How many contracted plants do you have?"
Xie Sen rubbed his ears, expressed his concerns, and then said, "Dean Mu, I have always cooperated."
Mu Lin: "Can your imagination get any bigger? No wonder you have always refused to come to work at the Contracted Beast Research Institute. It turns out you are afraid that I will dissect you for research. If you were not a female, I would have beaten you up. You are slandering me!"
Xie Sen: "I'm not going to work because I'm not suitable. I'm not doubting you, otherwise I wouldn't agree to cooperate with you. Am I not afraid of some crazy scientists?"
Mu Lin: "Bullshit, I'll kill anyone who comes my way! Hiss..." Xie Sen vaguely heard Gu Luo's voice, and Mu Lin quickly said, "Okay, okay, be civilized and don't swear."
Mu Lin continued: "I have to give you a full check again. It's amazing. I have studied covenants for so many years, and they are all one-on-one and mutually loyal. Even in historical records, there is no one-to-many situation."
Xie Sen refused without a second thought: "The usual check-ups are very comprehensive, and blood draws are my bottom line."
Mu Lin smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? Drawing blood is enough, are you still thinking about being dissected?"
Xie Sen's mouth twitched: "I didn't think so! I just had my blood drawn not long ago, and there's no change in my body. I don't need to check again for the time being... How are you going to respond to the public's doubts?"
The Contracted Beast Research Institute is an authority on contracts, and people are talking about it, so the institute will definitely have to give an explanation in the end.
Mu Lin said: "Species diversity."
Xie Sen was silent for a moment, then praised loudly: "Good reason."
Mu Lin: "If you are scared, Gu Luo and I will go to your house to check you out. Don't worry, we will never hurt you."
Seeing that he insisted, Xie Sen thought about the last time Gu Luo checked and agreed.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Long Teng looked at him with sparkling eyes: "Asen, can we still have boiled fish for lunch? Is there any watermelon?"
Xie Sen glanced at the time. It was past twelve o'clock. He was a little hungry. There was still plenty of ginger and garlic, as well as plenty of fish from yesterday. He nodded, "Okay, I'll do it."
Maine didn't let him do anything and told him to go and rest. When he returned to the living room, his bracelet rang. It was the doorbell of the front door.
Xie Sen tapped his finger on the bracelet, and a virtual screen unfolded above his wrist, showing the scene at the gate. There were five people standing at the gate, all tall men in military uniforms.
The person at the front crossed his arms and looked up at the wall, staring at the giant python that had stuck its head out. Xie Sen connected to the voice at the door and said in surprise, "Master Qi, why are you here?"
Qi Shao continued to look at the giant python with interest in his eyes: "You have a special identity. The military has issued an order that your safety will be protected by the special forces from now on."
Xie Sen subconsciously wanted to refuse: "No, I'm safe at home."
Qi Shao: "No, plants are precious resources. Once the news spreads, other planets will definitely target you. The military has issued a strict order that your security level is the highest level, and someone must be nearby to protect you."
Xie Sen frowned: "Disguised □□?"
Qi Shao: "You misunderstood. We will not restrict any of your activities. Of course, if you really dislike it, I will not arrange for anyone to be with you when you are at your residence, but the security factor of your current residence is too low, and my people will have to install some protective equipment themselves."
Xie Sen thought for a moment and opened the door: "I don't need anyone around me. The house just needs to have a high safety factor. Come in and go straight ahead. Don't go to the big house on the left, and don't attack the contracted beasts."
Qi Shao nodded: "Okay."
After entering the door, the contracted beasts playing outside looked at the newcomers curiously. Qi Shao raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and walked forward.
His four men's eyes lit up and they said excitedly in a suppressed voice: "It's so cool!"
"Yeah, look at this body shape and muscles, my heart is beating!"
"Oh my god, what a big crab! If I steam it, it will be so delicious!"
As soon as the words fell, the giant python that had been swimming behind them screamed and swept the blond soldier's calf with its tail. It was so fast that the blond soldier shouted loudly, his body swayed, and he turned over and stood firm with the force.
Several roars of contracted beasts sounded in succession, and after the roars, they ran towards Qi Shao and the other four. The big crab held up its two big claws and ran sideways. The big claws opened and closed like a pair of scissors, and the closed part shone silvery in the sunlight.
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qi Shao yelled.
"What should we do?" someone asked in a tense voice.
The giant tiger beast, the giant python beast, two giant leopard beasts and the big crab surrounded the five people, and the flying dragon beast flew into the air to suppress them. The giant python beast kept sweeping the blond soldier who had an appetite for the big crab with its tail. The blond soldier was quite skilled, but he jumped around and looked very embarrassed.
His face turned pale as he shouted, "Master Qi, save me!"
As soon as the other soldiers moved, Qi Shao shouted at them, "Don't move. Didn't you see they are all moving?"
After Xie Sen opened the door, he did not turn off the surveillance camera. He did not hear what Qi Shao's men said. Seeing the giant python beast taking action, he hurried out. Long Teng asked excitedly, "Are they here to cause trouble?"
As long as they are willing to fight and are looking for trouble, no matter what their identity is, it is something to be happy about when they come to Longteng.
Xie Sen: "No, don't do it, they are sent by the military."
When he got closer, Xie Sen heard clearly what the giant python was saying. Every time it attacked the blond soldier, it would say, "Is it delicious? Is it delicious?"
Black Panther stood aside and said, "Amang, scare him, and the rest of you don't do anything. It was Asen who opened the door, and this is Asen's guest."
"Asen." The giant python beast shouted when it saw Asen approaching, and swept the disheveled soldier in front of Xie Sen.
Xie Sen looked at the soldier who fell in front of him, thinking about what the giant python said, and looked at him speechlessly: "You are crazy, you stared at the giant python and said you wanted to eat snake soup?"
The blond soldier got up with a grin: "No..."
Qi Shao raised his eyebrows, glanced at the giant python, then looked at Xie Sen, pointing at the big crab: "He said he would eat it, it's a big one and he's satisfied."
'Crack!' The crab's big claws suddenly closed, making a sound of sharp objects rubbing against each other.
The blond soldier shrank his neck subconsciously.
Xie Sen asked him, "Do you still want to eat?"
"No, I don't want to do it anymore!" The blond soldier wanted to cry but had no tears. He wanted to strangle himself to death a few minutes ago.
Xie Sen walked up to the big crab and touched its hard claw shell: "It's okay, they are just talking nonsense, they won't eat you."
“Oh, if you want to eat me, I will crush him to death. If I wasn’t afraid of going too hard, I would have done it just now.” The big crab said slowly.
Xie Sen laughed: "How clever! Your pliers are too sharp. You can't just use them carelessly."
After calming the big crab, he waved to the contracted beasts: "Go and have fun, they are just joking."
After the contracted beasts dispersed, Qi Shao's men were no longer stiff and became excited again. Following Xie Sen's apartment, the four of them kept encouraging each other with their eyes and talking to Xie Sen.
Qi Shao saw their little movements, clicked his tongue, and looked at Xie Sen inquiringly: "Can you understand what they are saying?"
The matter of the plants has been exposed. There has already been an explosion, so he doesn't care about the other one. Anyway, many viewers have doubts: "Yes, they can understand you, so don't have any bad ideas."
The blond soldier whined, "I just said it casually. I didn't actually want to eat it."
Long Teng laughed and patted his shoulder: "Hahaha, I wanted to eat it the first time I saw it. It's okay to want to eat it."
The soldier looked at him, his eyes even expectant: "Were you hit by it?"
"No!" Long Teng smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
The soldiers felt they were being treated differently and felt very uncomfortable.
As soon as they arrived at the apartment, the rich aroma of food hit them in the face, with the spicy flavor being the most obvious and particularly tempting. Even Qi Shao's face brightened up. Long Teng shouted excitedly and ran in quickly.
Maine walked to the door and frowned when he saw Qi Shao and the others: "What's going on?"
Xie Sen explained to him, and Maine looked at Qi Shao: "It is forbidden to install any monitoring and listening equipment inside the wall."
"Of course, your privacy will not be affected. If necessary, the monitoring control will be placed in your hands."
Maine grabbed Xie Sen's hand and said, "Let's go eat. You must be hungry, right?"
Xie Sen looked at Qi Shao. After all, he was someone he knew. When it was time for lunch, he subconsciously asked, "Did you have lunch?"
Qi Shao laughed, "I didn't eat, they all ate." He turned around and ordered, "Go do your work."
The four subordinates' faces twisted for a moment, and they spread out around the apartment to install various security equipment.
Qi Shao smiled and asked, "Do you mind if I eat a meal with you?"
Maine looked at him and said, "Come in."
"Oh my god, Master Qi is so shameless. He's the only one among the five of us who had two servings of meat at noon!"
"I'm obviously full, but I can't stand the smell. I want to eat."
"Oh, I've been distracted by the scent and have no intention of doing anything."
"Hurry up and wait until Young Master Qi finishes eating. If he sees that we are slow, believe it or not, we won't even have barbecue tonight."
The four people outside the house were working while swallowing their saliva, while the five people inside the house were eating with red faces. Qi Shao and Long Teng were particularly fast at picking up dishes, and they preferred boiled fish. The two of them kept praising: "Delicious!"
Qi Shao ate to his heart's content. After finishing his meal, he quickly installed the equipment with his men and explained its use to Maine and Xie Sen. After that, he led his men to the courtyard wall to add defenses.
In the afternoon, Lu Qingxing came to the apartment with a look of delight on his face: "So those plants are your contracted plants. I want to explain the situation to Dean Ma."
Xie Sen said, "I've already told him. I didn't want to tell him before because I had concerns. Now it seems that I thought too much." He smiled, "I won't bother you anymore. Thank you for your hard work. It took you a long time to process those seeds, right?"
Lu Qingxing smiled and said, "That's good. If you have any problems in the future, you can always ask me for help."
In the evening, when Xie Sen was watching the news, he unexpectedly found that there were fewer discussions about him. Maine said, "It should be for your safety. The military has taken control."
The next day, when Xie Sen woke up, he checked his energy as usual. He was shocked to see that his energy had increased by more than 10,000 and was still increasing rapidly.
He quickly got up and opened his bracelet. The headline of the news was an official announcement from the Botanical Research Institute. He clicked on it and the announcement was like a short essay, announcing the source of the plants discovered by Lu Qingxing and explaining the reasons.
The reason was that Ma Qun himself was moved by his words and described Xie Sen as particularly great.
There were a lot of comments, all praising Xie Sen, and there were also many fanciful and exciting comments about plants.
Xie Sen felt a little guilty, but looking at the rapidly rising energy, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This is not energy, this is delicious food!
