Chapter 102 It’s great
Cheng Jiaying opened the bag of fish food, took a few grains out and sprinkled them into the glass.
The little fish came over, wagging its tail. It sniffed the fish food that was gradually sinking in the water, and swam away without any interest.
This cute little fish doesn't eat fish food. Cheng Jiaying tried a lot of food, including soft rice grains, biscuit crumbs, torn fruit peels, and orange slices, but the little fish refused to eat any of them. It would only smell them at first, and then never touch them again.
Strange little fish.
But it is really very cute. Every time Cheng Jiaying approaches the glass, the little fish will immediately happily circle and swim to the surface of the water, with its little fins flapping and splashing water. When Cheng Jiaying puts her finger on the water, the little fish will stick its head out and kiss her little finger with its mouth, gently and itchyly. This feeling can make people shout "Ah, I'm dead" a hundred times.
So she would take good care of the little fish no matter what. But right now, the little fish's diet is a big problem. It won't eat biscuits, rice, fish food, or even the mealworms bought by its father.
In one of Cheng Jiaying's unexpected attempts, she tore off a little bit of the braised pork made by her father, and the little fish actually ate it all, which made her very happy. This little fish can eat meat, so now she feeds it a small piece of shredded pork every day. When the little fish sees the shredded pork, it will peck at it carefully and eat it all in a short while.
Now the fish is a little bigger than the size of the little finger when it was first picked up. Cheng Jiaying felt that the glass was too small and it should have a bigger living place. So she begged her father to buy her a glass fish tank, put in some water plants and a few shells, and added a plastic doll. After entering the fish tank, the fish was very happy to inspect its new home and used one of the shells as its bedroom.
Cheng Jiaying was very happy. From then on, every day when she got home, she would rush to the glass tank to see her cute little fish. The little girl felt that her life was full of fun because of this little fish.
Cheng Jiaying's mother felt that her daughter was not doing her job properly.
Her daughter, who had always been among the top five in the class, fell to eleventh place in the latest exam, which made Cheng's mother very unhappy. Unlike her father, who was always cheerful and kind, Cheng's mother was extremely strict with her daughter. In her mind, she had already planned all the life plans for her daughter, Cheng Jiaying, including work.
Her initial goal in her schedule was to have her grades in the top five in the class. Cheng Jiaying had always worked hard and rarely let her down. But after entering this semester, Cheng Jiaying's academic performance began to become unstable. For this reason, Cheng's mother directly shortened Cheng Jiaying's entertainment time of watching animations at night, and she would do right-or-wrong questions with Cheng Jiaying every night as long as she had time. But after a month, Cheng Jiaying's grades not only did not stabilize, but this time they simply fell outside the top ten. Cheng's mother became more and more anxious after reading the discussion in the class parent group, but her daughter not only did not reflect on herself, but she even suddenly raised fish.
Mother Cheng was very angry. She walked into Cheng Jiaying's room and looked at the fish in the fish tank, intending to take the opportunity to vent her anger. The fish saw someone coming and swam to the surface, splashing water at Mother Cheng.
“…”
Mother Cheng stared at the fish in the fish tank for a long time.
Indeed, very cute.
She thought about it seriously and felt that she could use this fish as a bargaining chip to force Cheng Jiaying to study hard.
Xiao Zhen is looking at his furry ranch. The stupid tower furry challenge competition has ended, but the furry kingdom has not settled down yet.
The alliance between the black and brown fur balls won the final victory in the tower challenge and obtained a large amount of food. The other four fur balls naturally got nothing.
After the game, the black and brown fur balls happily ate rice crackers, making a soft crunching sound. The other four fur balls crawled around in their own territories in silence. One was happy, the other was heavy.
Xiaozhen didn't care too much at that time.
The next night, Mr. Cat suddenly slapped Xiaozhen awake.
It was not comfortable at all to have the cat's claws directly hit her face . Xiao Zhen sat up with a look of resentment and asked it what was wrong.
"The fight has begun," said Mr. Cat. Even as he said this, he remained calm.
"What?"
"Fur balls."
Xiao Zhen jumped out of bed, came to his greenhouse box, and opened the lid. There was a war going on in his fur ball ranch, and it was a world war that swept the whole country.
The four families of white fur balls, blue fur balls, gray fur balls, and red fur balls formed an alliance and were attacking the black fur balls and brown fur balls. The battle was very fierce , although in Xiaozhen's eyes it was just the fur balls squeezing each other.
"They actually started a fight."
"Because the black and brown families have a lot of senbei," Mr. Cat said, "and the other four families don't, so they united and went to steal their senbei."
"Sinful Wangwang Senbei."
"Please call it a sinful resource. Especially this kind of resource that is crucial to their survival. When the other four furballs realized that the black and brown families' possession of senbei would only make them stronger, and the four families would be weakened by hunger, it would be an overwhelming disadvantage for the other four families. So the four families united to seize the survival resources."
At this time, the situation of the war between the six countries of fur balls was very clear. Even if the fur balls of the black and brown countries united, their numbers and combat power were completely unable to resist the joint army of the four countries. The fur balls of the black and brown countries were quickly defeated. The white fur balls, blue fur balls, gray fur balls and red fur balls rushed into the warehouses of the black and brown countries, carrying the remaining Wangwang senbei as trophies and retreating to their respective countries. Xiaozhen noticed that they not only carried away Wangwang senbei, but also carried away some egg pods from the black and brown countries.
Mr. Cat said: "Taking away the eggs of the loser is also a very common behavior in insect groups. On the one hand, it can hit the regeneration of the opponent's vitality, and on the other hand, it can also be used as food reserves. The opponent's eggs are good food."
"Yes, that is true."
The war is over.
The furballs of each family returned to their peace. The black furball and the brown furball were cleaning up the mess in their own territory. Xiao Zhen noticed that the other four families did not fight when dividing their own senbei, but took their share in an orderly manner.
These alien species are probably much smarter than we think.
Xiaozhen returned to her bed and continued to sleep.
In his sleep, he vaguely dreamed of an even more brutal war.
That was a scene he had seen before.
At first there was the smell of flames burning away at ashes, and then there was the pain far sharper than tearing limbs apart, which flooded into his consciousness like a tide, burning every one of his tentacles.
He saw many warriors moving forward in the distance, holding guns and power axes in their hands, wearing neatly painted armor, their eyes burning with hatred and anger, and long howls of revenge.
…
…
The next day, Xiao Zhen looked through some documents related to black cockroaches.
He noticed a characteristic of this alien species: the black cockroaches would spontaneously grow a kind of insect fungus inside their nests, which was one of their food sources on their native planet.
At noon, Mr. Cat came to the greenhouse box and was surprised to see some more stones in the pasture. The fur balls were busy at the stones in their respective territories. There was a thin layer of light green fungus on the stones.
"The insect fungus that Fuxiao and I asked for is here," Xiaozhen said from behind Mr. Cat. "The literature says that this is the food from their native planet. I think it's better to let them grow it themselves instead of waiting for us to give them food."
"Wait, you turned my war game into a farming game?"
"That's right."
"..." Mr. Cat glared at him, "If you do this, how are we going to fight the war later?"
"Farming is so good, you can be self-sufficient." Xiao Zhen touched his chin, "You can have a farming competition. Start a live broadcast and let the audience bet on who is the best farmer. This won't hinder your ability to make money."
"No, what everyone wants to see is competition, a life-and-death war, not farming." Mr. Cat glanced at the greenhouse box, "Okay. But do you believe it? These fur balls will not always be peaceful even if they have food."
"Then let them do as they please." Xiao Zhen said, "But let me remind you, remember? They are Pu Pu's food. I don't know if Pu Pu will be able to eat these furry things when he comes back."
"That'll have to wait until Pu Pu comes back. Until then, I think these fur balls will have plenty of opportunities to make money (and plenty of fun to show us)."
Xiao Zhen turned and left the greenhouse box. Captain Ban was sleeping on the bookshelf at this time. The cat-headed caterpillar poked its head out from the feathers and nodded shyly at Xiao Zhen, as if to say hello to him.
Xiao Zhen stretched out her finger and touched its little head, and the caterpillar immediately tilted its head to rub Xiao Zhen's finger.
Stop it, I won't spend money on you.
Captain Ban has been working on the evolution of the Cat-Headed Caterpillar these days, and it looks like the Cat-Headed Caterpillar is still the same as when Xiao Zhen saw it on the first day, it has not changed at all. So he clicked on the data panel of the Cat-Headed Caterpillar, which showed that the experience value of the Cat-Headed Caterpillar was only a little more than half of the gray experience bar.
The remaining distance is still a long way to go.
Xiao Zhen recalled the money Captain Ban had spent on him these days, sighed, and pressed the caterpillar back into Captain Ban's feathers. It was obvious to the naked eye that this cute and charming little pet would still cheat Captain Ban of a lot of money.
Zhu Yifan really wants to die now.
He lost his dad's balls.
This sentence sounded quite misleading. To be precise, he had lost the most important experiment in his father's laboratory, the most important limited product of Ika Toy Company, and his father's masterpiece in recent years.
Out of curiosity, he secretly stole the pet egg from his father's laboratory, wanting to hatch it himself and see it for himself. However, the pet egg is now gone.
He searched his schoolbag, his room, the desk in the classroom, and even the road to school for five or six times. However, the pet egg was nowhere to be found. The worst thing was that not long after he regretted and scolded himself, his father Zhu Zhixue told him that this precious limited edition pet egg would be given as a gift from Ika Toy Company to the distinguished guests of Tianqing Star who came here for vacation.
"...VIP?"
His father Zhu Zhixue nodded, his face solemn, "Yes, he is an important guest from the Tianqing Star System. Did you know that the parliament is trying to bring the Tianqing Star faction to our side?"
"Father, do you mean that the Legion also wants to win over this distinguished guest?"
"Yes. But they won't be allowed to succeed. Because this distinguished guest will be received by the people of the parliament throughout his visit. And our company's products, including the pet egg designed by dad, will be given as gifts." Zhu Zhixue's tone was full of pride.
"..." For a moment, Zhu Yifan was filled with fear and guilt. The pet egg that his father had worked so hard to make had been secretly replaced by an ordinary pet egg. There was no difference in appearance, but the contents were completely different.
Zhu Yifan was sweating all over. This was the most important VIP in his father's company, and that pet was his father's most proud masterpiece. Now that he had lost the egg, it meant that the VIP could only hatch an ordinary pet. What would that big shot think?
This is no longer a matter of shame for his father, nor is it just a matter of the credibility of his father's company. It concerns the reputation of Parliament, and it will be a serious diplomatic incident.
Zhu Yifan wanted to scream loudly, but he couldn't make a single sound.
It's all my fault, he thought, I screwed up everything.
What to do now?
A strong feeling of suffocation gripped his neck and he almost wanted to kneel on the ground and vomit.
"Son, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Zhixue looked at him strangely, "Why is there so much sweat on your forehead?"
"Dad... I..." Zhu Yifan spoke with difficulty. He decided to confess everything to his father. Whether his father beat him or scolded him, he was willing to accept it because it was all his fault.
The communicator suddenly rang.
Zhu Zhixue turned on the holographic communication screen.
"Master Zhu, something bad has happened!!!" a staff member on the communicator shouted in panic.
"what happened?"
Zhu Yifan closed his eyes and thought, it’s over, they know.
"The distinguished guest from Tianqing Star has gone missing!!"
"What?"
"Yes, I heard that he is missing. The senior officials in the parliament are in chaos, and the people in Tianqing Star are also furious..."
Zhu Yifan blinked and thought, Oh, that's great. It's really fucking great.
