Chapter 5
After the banquet ended, Fu Le was taken back to Yu Zhang's bedroom as if he were a rare species. It was a cold, square room with a table and bed made of square stainless steel.
Fu Le: This world has shattered her worldview. Doesn't it feel cold?
“My little fairy, come, have a cup of honey. It’s all fresh and good honey, picked by my mother’s maid herself. Drink more, maybe it will help you grow taller.” Yu Zhang took the honey pot that the maid brought, poured half a cup for Fu Le, and pushed it in front of Fu Le.
In Fu Le's vision, what she saw was this giant who picked up a large cauldron with a spout with two fingers, poured half a jar of water into a large water vat that was about a meter tall, and pushed it in front of her so that she could drink it.
Fu Le: !!!
She was about to burst from overeating.
Fortunately, the giant didn't watch her drink the honey. Instead, he suddenly remembered something, walked out, and made sure to close the stainless steel door tightly, as if afraid she would run away.
Although Fu Le wasn't as tall as the cup, she could smell the aroma inside—a light, fruity fragrance, like fruit juice? It was something nice, but she couldn't drink it.
I want to put it away, but I don't have a container yet. If this cup disappears, it will be discovered.
Fu Le sat under the cup like a well-behaved child and sighed.
Not long after, Yu Zhang returned and saw his little toy with a long face, looking unhappy. He couldn't help but wonder, "Hey, little elf, why aren't you drinking?"
The maids following behind Yu Zhang brought over all the prepared fruit on large silver platters; apparently, there were platters here after all.
In no time, the large table, which was about 100 square meters, was filled with fruit platters. "Little elf, look at these fruits, do you like them? They're all yours. You can put them in your folding device so you can eat them whenever you want. This is nutrient solution, you can put it away yourself. My folding device is full of weapons, it can't hold any more." In addition to the gifts from everyone, he went to his mother to ask for another batch, hoping that the little toy would grow taller after eating them.
In Yu Zhang's opinion, being too small must be related to insufficient nutrition. Even if the Little Toys are a special group, eating a nutrient solution to strengthen their bodies will definitely make them grow stronger.
Fu Le watched helplessly as Yu Zhang placed a bunch of test tubes on the table, seemingly out of thin air.
Fu Le: !!!
"Hurry up and put them away. There's more, meat and wildflower honey. I'll have the servant bring them to you. Pack them all up."
Fu Le, whose eardrums were throbbing from Yu Zhang's voice, finally understood what Yu Zhang meant: she was being told to put it away.
So, she tentatively touched the large cauldron containing the 'juice' and put it away, but her eyes never left Yu Zhang's eyes. Only when she saw him smile happily, revealing his white teeth, did she breathe a sigh of relief, confirming that she had not misunderstood Yu Zhang's meaning. So, she didn't stand on ceremony and put the cups on the table into the cauldron as well. Then she had Yu Zhang put her on the table full of fruit platters and continued to put away the fruit, plates and all, leaving nothing behind. She did the same with the medicine.
How can someone be so kind? Giving her so many good things, they're trying to make her want to stay forever!
What Fu Le didn't know was that this fish octopus simply treated her as his pet. Giving a pet food would be perfectly normal on Earth.
Next, Yu Zhang sent over a bunch of bland cooked food. Fu Le didn't want it, but since Yu Zhang wanted to send it, she accepted it. And the 'juice' in those big cauldrons turned out to be honey! What a steal! What a huge profit!
Having received piles of food and drinks, Fu Le grinned from ear to ear.
No one knows how big her shuttle space is; it has never reached its limit. This time travel is like a dream; except for the beginning, everything afterward is wonderful.
After delivering the gifts, Yu Zhang summoned a maid to take her measurements. It was obvious that the maid was going to make her clothes.
That night, Fu Le slept in Yu Zhang's hair, and tossed and turned to sleep amidst Yu Zhang's thunderous snoring. She eventually drifted off to sleep, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already the next day. There were only nine hours left before she left this world.
Fu Le received a pile of silver robes that she could wear, as well as specially made toy bows and arrows. In order to please Yu Zhang, the servants even asked the tribe's craftsmen to make small toys suitable for Fu Le to play with. However, these small toys were only seen by the giants, but for Fu Le, they were extremely lethal weapons.
What kind of good family would give a bow and arrow with a range of thousands of meters as a toy to their 'friend'? It even has a scope, and the accuracy can be manually adjusted, zoomed in or out, and the image is so clear that it's as if it's right in front of you, at a distance of nearly ten miles.
Fu Le: !!!
On both of her wrists were small silver bells. Fu Le belatedly realized that she seemed to be treated like a little pet.
Breakfast consisted of fruit, animal milk, and meat, but no staple food. The animal milk was very fishy, but had a rich milky flavor. If it were processed a little, it would taste much better.
Fu Le took the initiative to ask Yu Zhang for a lot more beast milk from the cauldrons, which he then put away. Seeing that Fu Le liked it, Yu Zhang took him directly to the dairy farm and milked the animals on the spot.
Fu Le sat on Yu Zhang's shoulder and saw an endless grassland and countless giant beasts of all kinds, all of which were animal carcasses from the junkyard. Needless to say, most of the animal carcasses in the junkyard, if not all, came from here.
On the grassland, there was a large expanse of silver animal huts, spacious and bright, where giant milkmen carried buckets five or six meters high and were manually milking the animals. The milking animals were somewhat like deer, but without antlers. They were fat and strong, with black skin covered with a layer of fish-scale-like skin. In short, they looked strange no matter how you looked at them. Their swollen milking cavities were full of milk, and the buckets were always gurgling.
"Little elf, come here, these are all for you, they were all freshly squeezed today." Fu Le was led to another room that looked like a large factory. It was filled with large silver square vats, hundreds of times larger than buckets, filled with snow-white animal milk that gave off a sweet aroma.
Fu Le swallowed hard. Good heavens! She could never finish drinking so much animal milk in her entire life.
"Little elf, take them all. If we can't finish them today, we'll have to feed them to the beasts, which is a waste." Yu Zhang smiled, revealing his white teeth.
Although Fu Le couldn't hear, she could roughly understand Yu Zhang's actions.
Since he was so enthusiastic, it would be ungrateful of her to refuse, hehe.
If the suspicious crystals at the corners of her lips weren't so obvious, Fu Le would look more reserved.
Another batch of beast milk was collected, and the shuttle finally showed 'one-tenth of the space remaining'.
Fu Le: ...Why is it so small?
A red exclamation mark appeared on the shuttle, as if protesting Fu Le's inner thoughts.
Fu Le: Okay, one shouldn't be too greedy.
It seems they've discovered a way to make the little toy happy. One dares to give it away, and the other dares to accept it. The two, one big and one small, happily head off to their next destination: the orchard.
Even the giants' gardens, though artificially cultivated, left Fu Le in awe.
Have you ever seen an edible mushroom with a diameter of more than four meters?
Have you ever seen a pear the size of a washbasin?
Have you ever seen a strawberry with a diameter of more than three meters?
Have you ever seen a vegetable that's over ten meters tall?
Fu Le strolled through the giant's orchard, testing and picking along the way, with Yu Zhang accompanying him with great interest, until the timer itself showed the remaining time: 00:59:22, and the shuttle was also telling Fu Le that there was not enough space.
"Let's go back!" Fu Le finally had a change of heart and asked Yu Zhang to lead her back.
Yu Zhang was puzzled and didn't know why his little pet suddenly became unhappy and looked very heavy-hearted.
Fu Le was actually sighing, lamenting that he would never see these things again.
Although she could probably eat enough of this stuff for a lifetime, she still wanted to come to such a magical place.
The air was so rich in oxygen that she didn't get oxygen intoxication; it made her feel comfortable all over. Even though she could only stay there for about twenty hours, she loved it.
Fu Le led Yu Zhang into the kitchen, a place Yu Zhang would never go into before.
Yu Zhang personally ground the nuts, which tasted somewhat like almonds, into powder. The servants turned on the stove and placed the large bucket on the raging fire. Fu Le directed the process step by step, cooking the animal milk in the pot until it boiled, and then adding honey and almond powder.
About half an hour later, the finished product appeared. Yu Zhang drank the first cup of the finished product, and it only took a few seconds for his eyes to widen in surprise and uncertainty!
"My fish god above! Little sprite, you have created the most delicious drink in the world!! My God! I must go to my mother, these can be used to trade with other beastmen for the finest wines! And can also earn countless white crystals!! Little sprite, you are truly my treasure, I love you so much, Bai, come here, you personally escort the little sprite back to her room, I'm going to my mother's place!" After giving these instructions, Fish Octopus rushed out, making a loud thud as he ran.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Even though Yu Zhang had already gone far away, Bai still bowed respectfully.
Fu Le left on the Bai's shoulders, and behind him came continuous exclamations of joy.
Food is scarce in this world. Fresh milk with a clean, creamy flavor, even after the fishy smell has been removed, may be common in the modern world, but here, given the current situation, it should be able to bring benefits to the giants.
In the last ten minutes, Fu Le was taken back to his room. The servants brought him honey, fruit, and meat, which was the highest quality food they could provide. A table full of food was the greatest show of their sincerity.
Fu Le packed everything away and quietly waited for the time to end. As he waited, he fell asleep.
"Hey, Fu Le, Fu Le, are you alright? Fu Le?!" Someone was calling her?
Fu Le scrambled up from the bottom of the pit and discovered that the person who had called her earlier was her elementary school classmate, Wu Liu.
Tsk, her childhood friend from elementary school, who was all smiles but not really, was watching her with schadenfreude. She knew without a doubt that once she got back, the whole village would know that Fu Le had fallen into a trap.
Several elderly women were nearby, commenting on how careless the woman was and asking if she was hurt.
Fu Le gave a few perfunctory replies, and with the help of the kind-hearted grandmothers, the bicycle was lifted out of the ditch. "Thank you, grandmothers, I'm off."
Fu Le skillfully got on the bike and rode off.
Wu Liu: ...
Just left like that? Are you blind? She's a grown woman standing right here, can't you see her? You didn't even bother to say a word to her.
