Discussions about Xie Sen's contracted plants are abuzz online. Although the military has intervened to control the news, there has been no more explosive news to divert attention in recent days, and the topic remains hot.
Especially when it comes to plants and covenants, they are most likely to spark discussion.
Xie Sen was not affected at all staying in the apartment. Qi Shao kept his word and took his men to install security equipment without asking anyone to follow him.
The military equipment was very advanced and the protection was comprehensive, not only around the walls but also in the air. The rays emitted from the walls formed a large arc that enveloped the entire land.
Except for the recorded shuttles and flying beasts, any other flying tools and creatures will sound an alarm as long as they pass through the sky. The alarm is connected to the military, Xie Sen and Maine's bracelets, which is particularly safe.
On the afternoon of the 28th, Xie Sen went to the hospital where the alien beast had surgery according to the address sent by Bai's father. In order to communicate smoothly, he specially brought Tuan Tuan with him.
Today is the first surgery for the alien beasts. The giant bear had been taken away in the morning. The other alien beasts were affected by this. Xie Sen had been comforting them before leaving the apartment.
Not long after the shuttle left the apartment, Xie Sen turned his head and frowned, "Someone is following us."
Maine glanced in the rearview mirror and said, "It's someone from the military."
Xie Sen contacted Qi Shao, who said, "In order to ensure your safety, someone needs to be outside the apartment to protect you."
Xie Sen felt uncomfortable when he thought about someone following him wherever he went. "No need for that. It makes me feel like something bad is going to happen at any moment, which is very depressing. If you are worried about my safety, you should start with the inspection of people entering the camera and the public security."
"This is an order from the military."
Xie Sen frowned even more tightly: "I provide plants, not for me to be followed by real-time surveillance! I hope I can have absolute civil liberties. If not, I will make myself ordinary."
Qi Shao immediately understood what he meant: "I will convey your opinion to the higher-ups. Until there are other orders, my men will follow you."
Xie Sen emphasized: "To put it bluntly, if someone follows me all the time, the plants I can provide will only be the ones you know about."
Qi Shao: "Even if you don't emphasize it, I understand what you mean."
After hanging up the call, Xie Sen muttered something troublesome, and Maine looked back at him: "Don't you like people following you?"
"Yeah, I'm not used to it." Xie Sen looked out the window and saw the tall buildings on both sides rapidly receding.
When he was in college, he was an ordinary college student, wandering around freely. Later, when the end of the world came, he would go out of his way to find others, hoping to keep warm and feel safe, but later he became afraid of encountering any living creature, especially humans.
If there was someone following him, he would be even more nervous, as if something bad was about to happen. He hated having someone following him when he went out.
Maine: "What you just said will work. They will agree to your request."
Maine's words were soon verified. After the two arrived at the hospital, the shuttle that had been following them did not stop, but drove away.
Xie Sen received a message from Qi Shao: "Contact me immediately if there is any danger."
Xie Sen replied: “Okay.”
He got off the shuttle and stretched his arms: "Comfortable!"
Bai Jiao waved at them at the intersection leading to the surgery department. The two walked over quickly. Bai Jiao said as they walked, "The surgery was very successful. The anesthesia will wear off in half an hour."
Several people came to a very large room with carpet in the room. The giant bear was lying on the carpet against the wall. The fangs in its mouth were gone, and a lot of the hair around its mouth was shaved off, revealing the wounds that had been sutured.
Xie Sen put his hands on the transparent wall with a look of joy. The giant bear beast had returned to its original appearance!
Father Bai pointed to the hole in the wall and said, "You can reach your hand in from here and touch it. It's made of special material. Even if it goes crazy, it can't destroy the wall. If the situation is not right, you must quickly withdraw your hand."
Xie Sen: "Okay." He reached out and touched the side of the giant bear beast's hind half. Maine hugged him from behind and stared at the giant bear beast.
After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, the giant bear raised its head and screamed. Its breath was weak, but anyone who heard it could feel the pain in it. It shook its head wildly and slowly stood up.
Xie Sen shouted, "Don't move, you'll get hurt!" His hand had already slid to the giant bear's hind leg, and he rubbed it hard, "Lie down and rest."
Tuan Tuan yelled, flew in from another hole, and landed on the giant bear's forehead: "Don't move, you're injured!"
Xie Sen's touch made the giant bear beast feel particularly comfortable. The swelling pain in its head didn't seem as unbearable as when it opened its eyes. It moved its body, turned its head and looked outside the wall. When it saw Xie Sen, it called softly.
"Asen, it said thank you." Tuantuan translated.
Xie Sen breathed a sigh of relief: "The wound will be very painful, be patient, don't move, lying down will make the wound heal faster."
The giant bear beast lay down again and continued to look at him.
Father Bai was pleasantly surprised: "You really can calm it down. Its reaction is much better than we expected."
Xie Sen asked: "How long will it take for the wound to heal?"
Father Bai: "The contracted beast has a strong ability to recover. It will be able to move normally in about a week. If it wants to fully heal, it will take about 20 days, provided that it does not get worse."
Xie Sen stayed with the giant bear beast for an hour, left Tuan Tuan to chat with the giant bear beast, and returned to the apartment.
On the way, he was worried that the contracted beasts would behave abnormally because of the departure of Giant Bearmon, so he checked the situation through the surveillance in the live broadcast room and saw that everything was normal, so he cut off the screen and read the private messages from fans.
He flipped through several letters and the contents were almost the same, reminding him not to forget the lottery. August was coming soon and he had to start preparing for the meeting at the beginning of the month.
Xie Sen slapped his forehead. He really had forgotten. But it might not be possible at the beginning of the month. From today on, there will be a strange beast performing surgery every day.
He calculated the time and thought about getting his diploma on the 13th, so he issued a notice: "Sorry, the contracted beasts in the laboratory are in a critical period of treatment. The meet-up in August is cancelled and two meet-ups will be held in September. As compensation, a food event will be held on the 10th. Twenty lucky audience members will be drawn to have lunch together. The lottery rules remain the same and the deadline is 8 am on the 9th."
He now has plenty of energy and does not need to hide the existence of various foods. There is no limit to the food. When he wrote about food activities, he suddenly thought of hot pot and decided to make hot pot. With so many people, it must be super lively to eat together.
As soon as he released the announcement, a bunch of fans started sending gifts, and the live broadcast room was flooded with gift notifications.
"Oh my god, lunch! A meal, not a piece of fish!"
"I'll go wash my face first, then come and give the gift."
"I really want to go, I am possessed by the Emperor of Europe!!!"
Xie Sen looked at it for a while, and the constant gift notifications and comments made him dizzy, so he turned off the bracelet.
In the next few days, Father Bai re-planned the surgical plan, performing two operations every day, and operating on two contracted beasts every day. By the morning of the 6th, all the operations on the exotic beasts were completed.
After discussion, the contracted beasts who had undergone surgery were sent to Xie Sen. Their mental state was too poor and their bodies were too weak to be sedated. Living with their companions and being close to Xie Sen would make it easier for them to recover.
The accommodation area has become even more lively. There were originally ten contracted beasts, and now there are eighteen more, a total of twenty-eight, plus the big crab and the little silver, thirty intelligent creatures in total, and it is bustling every day.
There are many duplicate contracted beasts among them. In order to distinguish them, Xie Sen calls them by their special characteristics, such as Little Spot, and calls the rest in the order in which they were known. For example, the giant bear beast brought back from Bruce Star has now become Big Bear, and the first giant bear beast that underwent surgery has become the Second Bear.
The contracted beasts didn't care about the names at all. When the two giant bear beasts heard Xie Sen's distinction between their names, they happily started dancing on the spot. The big bear was the protagonist of the dance, and the second bear was only responsible for clapping and screaming because his body had not recovered yet.
After Giant Lionmon and Giant Wolfmon, Xie Sen discovered another good candidate for the audience - Erxiong.
The contracted beasts have different personalities, some are taciturn while others are talkative, some are gentle while others are irritable, but they all have linear thinking, are very simple, and sometimes even stupid, and there are unexpected jokes every day.
Xie Sen's chair was moved outside from the accommodation area again, and Maine got him a parasol, but it was broken by the contracted beasts who wanted to get close to it in less than a day.
Maine was about to get another one, but Xie Sen stopped him and told him what Black Panther said: "No need. If you don't want to be exposed to the sun, just call a contracted beast to block it."
A-level contracted beasts are all over three meters tall. He sits on a chair, and the contracted beast lies next to him. As long as the position is right, his sunlight can be completely blocked, and the position can be moved at any time, which is much smarter than a parasol.
On the morning of the 9th, Xie Sen had breakfast and took a walk, then sat on the recliner as usual.
The contracted beasts had completed their treatment, and there were three days left before the last contracted beast underwent surgery, so he directly turned on the live broadcast and checked the list of lucky viewers.
The big lion, the first giant lion beast, was lying behind him, shielding him from the sun. The seats were full of contracted beasts, who had just finished their morning run and were lazily wagging their tails and chatting.
Except for the last few that underwent surgery and were resting in the dormitory area, almost all the contracted beasts were outside, which was particularly spectacular. Xie Sen was surrounded by half, and the two sides of the dormitory area and the apartment were empty. Xie Sen could see the situation on both sides when he looked up.
"The anchor suddenly started broadcasting again!"
"Oh my god, this is so spectacular. If it were someone else, they would be scared to death when surrounded by wild beasts."
"I think this is heaven. I envy you..."
"Oh my god, why am I so unlucky? I can't get tickets for the fan meeting, and I still can't get tickets for the food event!"
"Don't remind me of this sad thing!"
"Wow, the injured contracted beasts seem to be recovering well, that's great."
"'Ajian' gave the anchor a watermelon rain: anchor, anchor, there will be a food event tomorrow, begging you to watch!"
"Yes, I won't eat it. Can I just stand far away and smell it?"
Xie Sen heard the system announcement and stopped writing the private message with the notification address and time. He glanced at the contracted beasts and said, "They are still in the recuperation stage and cannot be disturbed. The venue I chose is not suitable for onlookers."
"Not here? What about live streaming? You can't even live stream it?"
"Don't do that. It's fine even if you use a bracelet to broadcast live."
"Host, I can provide a seat! I'll book a concert hall for your event, and you must let me watch!"
When Xie Sen saw this comment, he held his chin and thought for a while, thinking that buildings like concert halls are indeed more suitable for hosting food events.
But thinking of this event, he laughed: "This time it's called an event, but it's mainly to make up for the delay of the meeting. We had lunch together, and it felt a bit strange to watch people eating together."
"Not strange, not strange at all!"
"Yes, besides, the compensation is only for twenty people, what should we do? Beg for live broadcast and onlookers."
Xie Sen looked at the copied and pasted words and thought for a while: "Okay, I'll see if I can rent an open-air concert hall. If I can, I'll rent it. I don't have to worry if I can't rent it, at least I can broadcast it live."
"Someone big guy come and provide the venue!"
"I can't rent it, I want to watch!"
Xie Sen smiled and said, "I can't take advantage of the fans. I will try my best to contact them and will make an announcement if there is any news."
He thought about it and contacted Huo Feng. Huo Feng was indeed the big boss and he knew someone there. With Huo Feng’s help, he was able to get in touch with the owner of the club directly.
The owner of the club was very enthusiastic: "My son likes your live broadcast very much. He contacted me before we started communicating. He doesn't want you to pay rent, but just let my son have lunch with him. Is that okay?"
Xie Sen thought for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate not to pay the rent, just give me a discount."
"That's fine," the other party said quickly, "I'll ask someone to help you sell the tickets. What's the price?"
Xie Sen didn't quite understand: "Are there tickets for outdoor venues as well?"
"Of course, it's outdoors, not open. The prices are different for different locations. There are three sizes. What do you think?"
Xie Sen pondered for a moment: "How many seats are there?"
"Twenty thousand."
"So many?" Xie Sen was shocked. It seemed too much to just make a hot pot for lunch. "Is there a smaller venue?"
"Not much, not much. With your popularity, there isn't enough space." said the club owner.
Xie Sen: "Okay, the price is one hundred, fifty, or thirty, just give it a try." Xie Sen felt a little embarrassed, after all, not everyone who came in could eat, and they could just watch him eat.
"This is too cheap. You can't even make up for the rent. Half of the rent is three million. You don't need the lighting effects, security and other small details. It will cost at least five million." The owner of the club advised, "I think 500, 300, 200 will be enough. It will still be full."
Xie Sen: "Forget it, this is compensation for the event. When we do special food events in the future, we will set a different price."
In the past, five million would have been a sky-high price for him, but now he doesn’t care so much about it. The money from the gifts given away in the raffles these days is far more than five million.
After negotiating with the owner of the club, Xie Sen issued a notice: "The food event will be held at the Hongfu Concert Hall, starting at 11 o'clock, and tickets are sold on the official website of the club."
He got up and went back to the apartment. Maine came down from the second floor: "Do you want to go to the club first?"
Xie Sen walked to the kitchen: "No, there's still time to check it tomorrow. Did you hear what I said?"
"Um."
Xie Sen walked into the kitchen and counted the food. In addition to the food directly exchanged by the system, there were also many processed ones. For example, a few days ago, he exchanged a lot of wheat and corn, ground them into flour, and made some fish balls and meatballs. He also exchanged soybeans and made bean sprouts and tofu.
In addition to the system's food, there are also various kinds of meat, all of which are sliced into thin slices and cooked in a few strokes in the hot pot.
Maine said, "Everything is ready. The ten tables you mentioned and the matching shabu-shabu pots are also ready."
Xie Sen nodded, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva while watching. He could finally eat hot pot again! He activated the star anise and peppercorns a few days ago, so he was particularly looking forward to the hot pot. This time the hot pot was even richer than the previous hot pot, with many varieties of meat.
Maine put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Want to eat? Have some lunch?"
Xie Sen was a little tempted, looked at his stomach, and shook his head: "No, eating too much will easily cause irritation, save the surprise for tomorrow."
Xie Sen counted the number of people and found that there were twenty spectators. Although the boss only asked his son to come, he decided to ask the boss to come anyway. Since there was a lot of food prepared, he also had to ask Long Teng and Bai Jiao to come. Including him and Maine, there would be a total of twenty-six people.
"A double-flavored pot will only require seven people. Bring them all with you tomorrow, just in case." Four people share one pot, otherwise it will be too crowded.
Maine said: "I've put them all in my backpack."
Xie Sen checked the large bones and ingredients used to cook the soup again, and after making sure that there was no problem, he and Maine left the kitchen.
Early the next morning, he and Maine went to the club. The boss and his son came to pick them up personally. The boss's son was a 16-year-old freshman, a very outgoing boy, and was very excited.
The boss smiled and said, "The tickets were sold out in less than an hour, and some people even asked us to add seats! If you want to organize a food event in the future, come to my place!"
Xie Sen: "Okay, you can have lunch with us at noon."
The boss' eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"
Xie Sen nodded, and the boss hesitated: "I won't go, can I let my partner come?"
Xie Sen: "Come all together. It's not good for any of you to be left alone at home." There are still empty seats anyway.
The boss laughed and said, "Okay, I haven't tasted the chili yet, I've only smelled it."
The boss's son wrinkled his nose and said, "I can never get anything from Rich Supermarket!"
The four of them came to the backstage while talking, and the boss said, "The stage can be raised and lowered, so if you have any preparations, you can do them downstairs."
Maine had the kitchen utensils brought over and used a large round barrel to cook bone soup. After that, he took out seven tables and matching simmering pots, and placed the pots on the holes in the tables, with the edges of the pots almost flush with the tabletops.
The boss and his son watched with great interest. They were both very curious, but they didn't ask any questions. Seeing them busy, they saw Xie Sen asking Maine to put the tables together, and they quickly reached out to help.
The seven seeds were arranged in two rows, with two benches on each side of the table, for a total of twenty-eight seats.
Xie Sen looked at the untidy seats and asked Maine to bring out another table. The two neat rows looked much better, with a total of thirty-two seats.
"Thank God, there are so many seats. Will there be a lottery on the spot?" the boss's son asked curiously.
Xie Sen: "I have friends coming over." He had agreed with Long Teng and Bai Jiao yesterday to have dinner together, but there were only twenty-seven people at the moment, and there were five extra seats.
He contacted Xu Da, and when Xu Da heard that he was going to have lunch, his voice rose: "When? I'm still on the spaceship."
Xie Sen suddenly realized, no wonder Long Teng didn't mention him: "Noon, if it's too late, another time will do."
"Then it's settled, let's eat together tonight."
After the agreement was reached, less than three minutes after the call was disconnected, Xu Da contacted him again: "No, I want to have lunch together! That brat Ateng didn't tell me such an important thing. Fortunately, I saw the news when I turned off the bracelet just now."
Xie Sen: "Aren't you on the spaceship?"
"I'll have them speed up and get there at eleven o'clock! Ateng's father and dad are also here, can they go with us?"
"Yes, there is still room."
Not long after Xie Sen and Xu Da finished their conversation, Mu Lin contacted him: "I just happened to have some free time after a busy period, and I want to see your food event. I tried to buy tickets through various channels, but failed, so I came to you. Do you have tickets for friends and relatives?"
Xie Sen smiled: "The seat tickets are sold out, but the stage tickets are still available, exactly two."
"Really? That's nice!" Mu Lin laughed.
Now, all thirty-two seats have been arranged.
Long Teng and Bai Jiao arrived before ten o'clock. By then, the bone soup was already very fragrant, and twenty lucky audience members were all backstage, craning their necks to watch.
“Why isn’t the soup I usually cook so fragrant?”
"I'm looking forward to it! This is definitely the luckiest time in my life."
The backstage wall showed the number of audience members entering the venue from various intersections. At half past ten, the seats were almost all occupied.
At eleven o'clock, the stage rose, and Xie Sen, Maine, and various tools appeared in front of the audience. Xie Sen glanced around and saw that the screens around the audience were all showing the scenes on the stage.
Wearing a headset, he greeted the audience, and then Maine scooped the cooked soup into the clear soup portion of the double-flavored pot.
Xie Sen lit a fire to fry chili oil and added a lot of spices. The aroma instantly spread out, and the audience in the front immediately shouted, "What a nice smell!"
Xie Sen stood aside while Maine scooped some soup into the pot. A sizzling sound was heard and the aroma became more intense. When the pot calmed down, Maine scooped the soup into the spicy hot pot.
After the base of the pot was ready, Xie Sen signaled to Maine, who placed the various prepared foods on the food rack next to the table. There was a lot of food, and it didn't look like a group of people eating hot pot together, but rather like a serving table in a hot pot restaurant.
He introduced to the audience: "This time we had hot pot, all the food was cooked in the pot, the pot had spicy and clear soup bases, although the chili was delicious, not everyone was used to the spicy taste."
He smiled and said, "The preparations are ready. Next, I would like to welcome all the friends who are coming to have lunch together. They are my good friends, and there are also lucky viewers in the live broadcast room. Let's welcome them together."
The platforms on the left and right sides slowly rose up, with fifteen people standing on each. Xie Sen greeted Xu Da and Long's father. Xu Da smiled very happily: "Haha, I finally made it. It smells so good. Wow! What are these dishes?"
Long Teng also rushed to the food rack: "Asen, should we put it in and cook it directly?"
Xie Sen pointed at the seats and said, "Please sit down first." More than thirty people were a lot, and standing together would take up quite a bit of space.
The two outermost seats were reserved for Xie Sen and Maine, and the rest of the people took their seats and looked at Xie Sen.
Xie Sen said, "There are plates under the food rack. Use the plates to take what you want to eat. There are more people, so each table can have one person serve the dishes. Take as much as you want and don't waste. These kinds of meatballs are more difficult to cook. You can eat them after they float. The rest of the food is easier to cook, especially the various meat slices. You can eat them after they change color after a few dips. Cook them too long and they will become tough. This is tofu, which breaks easily, so be gentle when you pick it up."
He introduced the dishes while pointing at them, and smiled after he finished speaking: "You can take the dishes now." He sat back in his seat, and Maine picked up the dishes with a plate. Bai Jiao and the audience in the live broadcast room were also at his table. He smiled and said: "Wait for Maine to bring the dishes over."
The Long Teng family had exactly four seats, right next to them, and next to them was Mu Lin and Gu Luo. Long Teng and Mu Lin were both very fast, and after Xie Sen finished speaking, they jumped up and went to pick up the food.
Each of the other tables also sent a representative, all of them were tall males with very agile movements. After a while, some people started eating.
"Oh my god, it's so delicious!"
"Hey, this tofu is too tender, isn't it? It breaks when you pinch it."
"I usually feel like throwing up when I eat meat, but this is the first time I've discovered that meat is so delicious!"
The faces of the people on the stage were glowing red as they ate. Steam rose from the hot pot and spread, spreading the aroma to all parts of the audience. The surrounding screens showed close-ups of the scenes inside the pots. The soup pot and the spicy pot were filled with all kinds of food. Although most of them were new, they looked delicious.
The tender cabbage was picked up from the hot pot, a mixture of white, green and red, with a layer of oily sheen under the light, which looked particularly delicious. The tender tofu was scooped up with a spoon, trembling slightly, and you could imagine the texture of melting in your mouth at a glance.
At first the people on the stage had time to praise the food, but after the food was cooked and they had more to eat, they all buried their heads in the food without saying a word, using their actions to show how delicious it was.
"It's so painful and happy at the same time." The audience stared at the stage with distorted faces.
Viewers before the live broadcast left comments: "Kind people, please tell me what it smells like. I'm crying. I can't imagine it!"
"Why can't I even get a ticket for the audience?! I fainted in the toilet crying."
"Anchor, tell me! How can I be your friend? What kind of person do you like? I will definitely make it happen!"
"I want to be friends with the anchor, this is so happy!"
