The mother star secretly transformed itself from us

Chapter 2582 Food on the Plate

The workload of just four days of non-stop work was practically negligible compared to the intensity of work that His Excellency the Magician had previously imposed on his beasts of burden. Even Old Wang felt a sense of unreality, as if he were in another world.

"hiss!"

"Got it! I've fallen for it again!"

"This is hypnosis! This is a hallucination! This is a fucking, despicable psychological attack!"

Beneath the stilted house, Loki, the ancient Greek god of the hearth, was idly tending to a large, round-bottomed soup pot, occasionally spitting out flames. Suddenly, he seemed to smell the scent of his own kind, flicked his tail, and turned to look at Li Cang and the others, his gaze increasingly puzzled.

"Damn it, this smell! Take it away, take it away! When the hell did you put this thing back on the shelf? I knew the alien tide couldn't have come this fast!"

"Before coming."

"Grass!"

The energy winds distorted the sub-domains and all sorts of incomprehensible force fields, forming a mesmerizing and dazzling aurora belt outside the sky island, with ebb and flow, continuously bombarding people's visual system.

Tai Xiaoyi subconsciously rubbed her eyes. The eye she usually used the sniper scope with was noticeably bloodshot, and even the size of the pupil was slightly different. She smiled and said, "It's rare that Teacher Cang had a change of heart and let you guys come back. Zhong, you'd better watch your attitude, language~"

"I fucking still—"

"Miss, I'll clean this up in a bit and simmer it in the broth for a day or two. Crocodiles are fish too, and they're good for the eyes!"

"Huh?" Tai Xiaoyi looked at Li Cang: "Oh, so you're so happy because you found what you were looking for. This is from the embryo?"

After a moment's contemplation, Li Cang declared confidently, "We'll start with the raw materials, and keep working on the prototypes!"

Tai Xiaoyi took a moment to react, then widened her eyes: "Could it be that we can have another rebellious son??"

Old Wang scoffed and sneered, "Listen to his bragging. In this godforsaken place, he's going to use a hammer to pray, or sell his ass to some little bastard?"

"Emmm, I heard you fattened another crocodile to death?"

“I @#￥%…”

Old Wang's spittle flew like a waterfall. Li Cang grabbed a black dog to shield him, saying, "When I was chasing this one, there must have been some people coming over outside!"

"Why the hell are you being so kind as to let me rest?" Old Wang just chuckled and asked, "How far did you chase after them anyway?"

Li Cang held up two fingers: "It took twenty hours to get back!"

Li Leisi asked suspiciously, "A person? I didn't sense anything. How come your three-phase anchoring is more sensitive than my martial artist's intuition in this kind of disturbed environment?"

Li Cang scratched his head somewhat awkwardly: "It wasn't a three-phase anchoring... cough... the five sappers we deployed exploded."

Corpse Pulse Radar, no problem.

Old Wang said, "That doesn't make sense either. If he were really one of ours, wouldn't he recognize Wu Gouzi?"

"That's why only one is missing!"

"What do you mean?"

------

"You're finished! You dared to make a move on Teacher Cang!" A group of people stared at the unlucky guy with schadenfreude: "Just wait to die. Is there anything else you need to say? Five cents for a last word, and you can carry it out yourself for a different price!"

The guy whose fighting prowess was directly proportional to his bad luck turned green: "This thing flies so high, how can I tell it's his bloodline? This...this..."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. Anyone who has done business at Base 3/7 knows that Teacher Cang is a very kind person. Even a random old lady tailor on the street would dare to hit him with a ruler, and he would just smile!"

"We'll pay compensation, but how many spare coins do you have left?"

"Hold the grass!"

The unlucky fellow was greatly startled and instinctively covered his left arm. Upon seeing this, the group of unreliable messengers burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Someone shouted, "I may be unworthy, but I have a plan!"

There were also those who loved a good show and didn't mind a big funeral: "What's the plan? Tell us quickly!"

"Hey you, do you have a wife? Introduce her to Master Wang and let him whisper sweet nothings in Teacher Cang's ear, that'll solve the problem. It's better to guide than to block. As the saying goes, reform and relief can resolve the dilemma!"

"This is a great plan!"

"Damn, this is a combination of reform and disaster relief!"

"A true plan to wipe out the entire family!"

At this moment, a five-dog creature, like an atmospheric being, hovered in the void above the clouds, almost invisible to the naked eye. Its gaze fell downwards, staring calmly at everyone below and at the corpses of the five-dog companions. Only occasionally, it would symbolically flap its wings to barely prove that it was alive.

Faced with this rare human resources leave, Mr. Wang expressed his full respect: "I don't care about anything else, I'll just wash your feet!"

"Hoo~" Old Wang sat by Jinping Lake, put his feet into the foot bath tub, and let out a long breath: "I said, you son of a bitch, do you not trust my character? What's the meaning of sending this black-skinned lackey? Only a fool would let this kind of thing massage his feet. Watch your attitude, right now, immediately replace him with San Gouzi, you hear me!"

"Aren't you going to ask the young lady's opinion?"

"No need, I'm a professional in this area, it's great, no need to say more!"

The young lady appeared behind Old Wang carrying a frying pan: "What's your major?"

Old Wang next door immediately stood at attention: "Environmental Science and Engineering!"

Li Cang, quite satisfied, held a raw ham that wasn't quite ready yet, slicing off pieces and eating them. How to describe it... the smug feeling was gone; it seemed even the young lady's ham-curing skills weren't quite as refined anymore. He sighed, "It really is lacking."

The young lady sneered: "Is that so? You still have to eat it secretly, huh? In the end, all that's left are shells and bones, and then you hang it back on the rafters of the drying room?"

"Cough cough cough cough."

"Li Cang?"

"What?"

"You damn scoundrel, you're going to boil me alive! Get the hell out of here!"

"Hehe." As soon as Li Cang got up, the water stain on his back immediately evaporated into a vertical line, and the heat was visible to the naked eye. When he lay back down, the line immediately became like a pot of boiling water, with fine and dense blisters floating on the surface of his skin.

Old Wang muttered to himself, "Oh right, that's perfect, then give me some more hot water!"

Tai Xiaoyi said worriedly, "Didn't you say last time that you wouldn't give it overload? How did it turn out like this again? Teacher Cang, you'll damage your nerves... uh... brain like this. After all, the brain is connected to the spine, isn't it?"

Li Cang's lips twitched: "Young Miss, you've really changed. You would never joke like this with me before!"

Tai Xiaoyi winked playfully: "So, do you prefer me now or me before?"

Li Cang cautiously turned back towards Li Leisi: "I don't like any of them! I, Li Cang, will always cherish our comrade Da Leizi, whether in the past, present, or future!"

Li Leisi raised her eyelids slightly, the ferocious dragon blade beside her dissolving in the water: "Tch, you're boring. Young people should be taking risks!"

Hehe, haha~

The adrenaline hadn't completely subsided, and it wasn't too late to avenge the grudges that couldn't be settled on the battlefield. Li Leisi, Li Cang, and Lao Wang were all secretly plotting something, and they were all waiting in the dark. Even on an island like this, it wasn't appropriate to just casually drag people out to offer blood sacrifices. To be more respectable, there had to be a somewhat decent excuse, right?

"Look at them, look at you, look at Old Li next door!" Perhaps it was because the laning phase wasn't too intense, or perhaps it was because helping the first and second tiers get rid of the Zerg to some extent put the innocent young lady at ease, but in any case, she was speaking fluently: "Hey Wang, you don't seem very bright today. Your attitude is making things difficult for me!"

Old Wang's pupils dilated, his expression grave with a hint of despair. He slowly turned to look at Li Cang: "Who arranged it like this, you surnamed Li, give me back my little miss!"

"Bang!"

Old Wang got a tap on the head, and the young lady, with her hands behind her back carrying a pot, skipped off humming a song as she went to cook.

Li Leisi picked up the wine glass from the floating plate, took a big gulp of it as usual, exhaled a puff of cool air, and said, "I like the young lady now!"

Old Wang nodded in agreement, scratching the back of his head: "How to describe it? These days, young ladies are fuller-figured and more dynamic!"

"Oh~"

"You fucking bastards! Of course, not in a fucking biological sense!"

"Uh-huh!"

"wipe!"

After soaking in the lake for a while, Li Cang climbed ashore, adjusted the stone ring around the fire pit, added meat, water, and seasonings to the large pot, and brought over various dried goods. He sat on a rock and slowly began picking them: "Later, you can pick a few lucky viewers to slaughter and roast. How about some sand liver, hmm, and horse sausage?"

"Horse intestines are good! This is great! Great!" Old Wang kicked over the foot bath tub in one swift motion: "It's been a long time since I've had this stuff. Damn it, I'm still furious about it. The last time I ate roasted horse intestines before the Great Cataclysm, I ripped up that bastard's stall and smashed the storefront. Trying to fool me with your mother's beef intestines? Do you really think I'm fat and easygoing?"

Li Lei frowned upon hearing this: "Why do you only eat those strange and unusual things? Horse intestines? Cow intestines? Do they even have those in Yanchuan?"

"Yes! Of course we have it!" Old Wang was extremely serious: "Take off the head and tail of the large intestine, just keep the middle part that's easy to grill, and you can eat it like soy sauce tendon. The taste and the meatiness are amazing. But beef large intestine is no good; it's too fat and makes people shudder!"

Li Lei was stunned when she heard "soy sauce tendon," and asked cautiously, "Dude, you don't want that stuff cooked medium-rare, do you?"

Old Wang chuckled: "You know what, you really do know, I actually saw pork intestine sashimi at the Japanese's place, it's a true testament to Master Yu's skills!"

"?"

Li Lei couldn't stand it anymore. She put down the fruit plate, put on a bath towel, and sat down next to Li Cang to help pick vegetables, which was quite unusual for her. She chatted idly while playing around. Even so, this was a scene that had never been seen before.

In Yanchuan, the standard for wild vegetables and dried mountain produce is dried vegetables and dried mountain products. However, normally they can only catch a few wild boars during the annual hunting season, and they have to rely on connections with local big shots like Lao Wang.

"What, is the rate at which the dogfish are breeding too fast to keep up with the supply rate of the blood food?" Li Leisi said casually, rubbing a small dried mushroom. "Your spine could be grilled into a skewer of deer blood!"

"A little," the mage said shyly, "but it's not a problem. It's good that they're here, it's good that they're here!"

Old Wang clicked his tongue and said, "You think that thing is a person? So when they come, those big animals can finally rest, right? And you, old man, can fucking open the Abyss Well?"

Li Cang said expressionlessly, "Otherwise, are we just going to hand over the bugs for free?"

Li Leisi tossed a small, dried mushroom that had been washed until it peeled and faded onto the bamboo strips: "A colony, the Americans call that a colony. What do you think they'll call the base and the old residence here?"

"Hey, you can't say that, my friend!"

"The first group should all be legitimate messengers, but those who arrived at this hour are probably just third-tier natives."

"Anyway, if you tell me you've never seen a third-tier military unit at the America Base, I don't believe you!" Old Wang grinned in disgust. "Busy, everyone's busy. It's good to be busy. I wonder if those old Dengs will be able to make the list in the future!"

Li Lei raised an eyebrow: "It's strange, apart from Yang Ze's time, we seem to have never encountered anyone who was properly on the list?"

Old Wang shrugged nonchalantly, took a large wild boar from a few dark-skinned lackeys, and Kuci delivered a fatal blow with a single stroke: "Who the hell knows?"

"Soak those little mushrooms before washing them. How can we eat them if you rub them so badly?" Li Cang said, "As far as we know, apart from the former residence, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly decent in the second tier. Old Wang, do you think there's anything that can give you the template of a protagonist with a lucky destiny?"

"They have a der!"

"That's right. The main body of the America Confederation is on the front line, the main body of the base is on the front line, Du Niu, the Corpse Weaver, the High Priest, and the Sunset River are all on the front line. Almost everyone with a name and a surname is on the front line. No matter how much of an ELO mechanism there is, the little coin kid can't possibly put all the random stuff on the front line, right?"

"Huh? You can explain it like that?"

"Just a guess, nothing to do with it, just for fun!"

"But you're right about one thing!" Old Wang slapped his own chest with his bloodied hand, his body trembling wildly: "I'm the main character, you bastard!"

"Pfft~" Li Lei looked Lao Wang up and down: "You've worked so hard! How many beatings did you have to endure to become a star!"

Li Cang, extremely disappointed, blurted out, "Take it easy. This inexplicable weakness of the bug can't last long. The two main forces of the three lines have arrived, and it's about time for the Nest Master to step in!"

"Not the Nest City?"

"That's absolutely not the case!"

"emmmm"

"Sizzle!" While they were chatting casually, Old Wang had already covered the sand liver with caul fat and put it on the grill: "Little Miss, did you see that? I'm an expert at grilling this stuff. It's on par with the deer blood skewers from Licang. Let me tell you, this sand liver is strange. You want to grill it until it's all oily and crispy, but the outside still has to keep getting oily. Otherwise, it won't be as fragrant, it'll lose its soul!"

Tai Xiaoyi looked up, her tone tinged with a helpless "oh yes, yes yes," and muttered, "If you don't oil it, won't the outside burn?"

Old Wang: _

Hey no, this is fucking idiot, you guys have no idea what I'm trying to do. Bad luck, bad luck indeed.
