Chapter 128 Harvest
Aunt Li pushed open the door of Xiaozhen's study. She had a strange expression on her face.
"Xiao Zhen, your classmate Wei Jingjing is here again."
The slime mold Wei Jingjing was sitting obediently on the sofa, chatting with An Yuan's mother.
An Yuan asked her with a smile: "Wei Jingjing, are you here to rehearse your lines with Xiaozhen again?"
"Yes, Auntie."
"What kind of play are you going to perform at the school celebration?"
"Uh, it's Romeo and Juliet." The slime mold Wei Jingjing said casually.
"But Xiaozhen told me that it was the White-Haired Girl."
Xiao Zhen was on the stairs. He saw that things were going to get bad, so he quickly sent his brainwave thoughts to the slime mold. The slime mold Wei Jingjing immediately replied calmly: "Ah, Auntie, actually it hasn't been finalized yet. We are just practicing in advance."
“Oh, I see…”
"Wei Jingjing, I have something to talk to you about." Xiao Zhen interrupted the conversation between An Yuan and Wei Jingjing and took him back to her study.
An Yuan stared at them as they went upstairs with a suspicious look on her face, and she specifically reminded Wei Jingjing: "If my son bullies you, you must tell me and I will teach him a lesson."
"Yes, Auntie."
Slime mold, please stop joining my mom in the fun.
Close the door.
The slime mold rolled up his sleeves and showed his arms to Xiaozhen.
At first glance, the skin of her arm was pure white, like flawless white jade. But a closer look revealed a thin mark on her arm, as if it had been cut by a knife.
"I was probably on my way home when I suddenly found that I was missing a piece of my arm. I have just repaired a part of it. But the strange thing is that I have no memory of what happened when I lost a piece of my arm."
Xiao Zhen and Mr. Cat Captain Madara looked at each other and he said, "You have amnesia too?"
"Also?" the slime mold repeated the word.
Xiao Zhen touched his chin and said, "It seems that you have also been involved in the Black Box Club's game console-related incident."
"Game console?"
"Well, we are trying to reconstruct what happened." Xiao Zhen said.
He showed the game console to the slime mold Wei Jingjing, and then explained to the slime mold Wei Jingjing what happened.
"The surveillance shows that Mr. Cat and Captain Ban have been to Gu Yu's home. They have no recollection of the purpose, process, or outcome of their visit. Combined with the characteristics of this game console, I believe that the monitor of the next class, Gu Yu, was previously replaced by the program of this game console, and then this program pretended to be Gu Yu and had some conflict with you, causing your arm to be missing. In the end, I deleted the archive, and this action ultimately led to the erasure of our memories of this incident."
"Is that so..." Slime Mold Wei Jingjing said in confusion, "But why did the fake Gu Yu come to see me?"
Mr. Cat said: "Judging from the characteristics of this program, it wants to replace you again."
"Me?" said the slime mold Wei Jingjing. "Why? Hasn't it already replaced Gu Yu?"
"There are two possibilities. One is that he is not satisfied with Gu Yu's current life, and the other is that he cannot maintain the role of Gu Yu. I think it is the second one. This cross-dimensional technology is very unstable. Once the information is not recognized, it will be rejected by reality."
"Then why did it target me?"
"Rather than you, it's more like you're yearning for Wei Jingjing's definition. A beautiful female student from a wealthy family, who doesn't seem to have any pressure in life or study from an outsider's perspective. Even a program would think it's more convenient to simulate."
"..." Slime mold Wei Jingjing was silent for a while, and then she said, "This program is very pitiful."
"Pity?" Xiao Zhen asked curiously, "Do you also feel pity for someone?"
"It only saw the surface of Wei Jingjing. If it really replaced me to simulate Wei Jingjing, I'm afraid it would collapse in no time."
"oh?"
"Master Yan Zhen, you said that this program will be blocked if it is not recognized. However, the character of Wei Jingjing has always been denied in her family."
"What does this mean?" Xiao Zhen asked, "Did your performance fail? Did her family find out?"
"No, Master Yan Zhen. No matter how I perform, her family won't care. I have always been ignored. Or rather, she has always been ignored."
"What does this mean?"
"Wei Jingjing's mother, Sheng Shihua, hates her daughter. If this program replaces me, I'm afraid it will collapse soon."
"Hate her daughter?"
Xiao Zhen stared at the slime mold in surprise . There was no sadness or anger in the slime mold Wei Jingjing's eyes, just calmly stating a fact: "Yes, she hates her daughter. Well, she hopes her daughter disappears, she hopes her daughter Wei Jingjing has never been born."
Slime mold Wei Jingjing left.
…
Wei Jingjing was still sleeping quietly in the incubator. Because Pupu had not returned, the reorganization and recovery of her body had been stagnant for many days. The incomplete body in the nutrient solution looked weak and pale. At this moment, Wei Jingjing's face did not have the arrogance and hostility that Xiaozhen was familiar with in the past. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her expression was relaxed, as if she was having a peaceful dream.
She looked like the Sleeping Beauty princess from a fairy tale.
Such a girl, her mother actually doesn't love her. Xiao Zhen once thought that maternal love was the instinct of Homo sapiens, but now it seems that he still knows very little about the emotional logic of humans. He remembered the smell he smelled from Wei Jingjing on his first day of school in this body, which was the smell of a strong desire for recognition from others. Is it because of her mother? This young lady's family may have another side that is unknown to others.
…
Xiaozhen turned on the game console and created a game file.
A boy was randomly generated in the game, and Xiao Zhen casually pressed a name, Xiao A. He was a boy with black hair and black eyes. Xiao A greeted him with a smile and asked Xiao Zhen to define his behavior.
The game background shows that this is a cute cartoon farm farming game with bright colors. The boy Xiao A has a warm wooden house. There is a barren grassland in front of the wooden house, waiting for someone to take care of it. Walking along the stone path in front of the wooden house is a red brick grocery store.
Xiao Zhen gave his first order in the game, to demolish the house.
"Tear down the house?" Little A looked very confused.
"I'll define your behavior, and you just have to go and demolish it." Xiao Zhen designated two houses nearby and asked Xiao A to demolish them. Then he put the game console aside and started doing his homework.
After writing for a while, the game console lit up and beeped twice. Xiao Zhen turned on the game console. None of the houses were demolished, and Xiao A was sitting inside in a daze.
Xiao Zhen asked him: "Why don't you tear it down?"
"I don't know how to dismantle it." Little A said sullenly.
"Oh." It seemed that he was going to teach him how to use tools. There were 30 copper coins in the initial currency column, enough to buy an axe. Xiao Zhen instructed him to go to the store to buy an axe, and then taught him to chop down a tree.
"Yan Zhen, I know how to chop trees now! Thank you!" Little A said happily to Little Zhen.
"Okay, you can go and demolish the house."
“…”
Xiao Zhen closed the game console and put it in the drawer. Mr. Cat asked him, "What are you doing?"
"Play games."
Mr. Cat looked Xiao Zhen up and down and decided to keep quiet since he had already told him about the dangers.
Xiaozhen finished his homework and left his study.
After a while, Xiaozhen's joyful shout came from the garden: "My fruits are ripe!!"
Mr. Cat and Captain Ban rushed to the garden upon hearing the news. Little Zhen Zhen watched the great harvest in his orchard with a smile on his face.
The purple-red fruit was seen hanging down between the lush branches and leaves of the fragrant fruit. The fruit was pear-shaped, with a smooth skin and a round body. The leaves at the top of the fruit turned yellow, which was a sign of its maturity. This fruit was the main raw material for the most expensive wine in the Milky Way star region - fragrant brandy. In some star regions, a barrel of fragrant fruit brandy with a long history could even be exchanged for an entire planet.
"My companions, thanks to my hard work, my scented fruit is ripe!" Xiao Zhen said. A group of clay figures lined up beside him and clapped their hands.
Captain Madara said, "But isn't it your clay figure that has been working so hard?"
Mr. Cat added: "I bought all the soil and fertilizer."
"Where would the fragrant-smelling fruits come from without me? It's me who gave them a place to work, it's me who gave the little people the opportunity to create value, it's me who gave their lives meaning." Xiao Zhen said frankly, "It's me who personally created the harvest of the fragrant-smelling fruit orchard." Xiao Zhen looked down at the clay figures, and they immediately cooperated by clapping loudly and in unison.
"What a face you have."
"What kind of black-hearted boss is this?"
"If you say something nice now, I will allow you to eat my fruit."
"Why don't you pick one and try it now?" Mr. Cat said, "The sunlight on this planet is obviously not enough. I doubt the quality of your scented fruit."
Xiao Zhen turned around and reached out to pick a fruit. After peeling off the thick skin of the fragrant fruit, the semi-transparent pink flesh inside was revealed, crystal clear and beautiful. The fruity fragrance filled the nose, making people salivate.
He took a bite.
ah.
“…”
"How is it?" Mr. Cat and Captain Ban asked at the same time.
“…”
"how?"
Xiao Zhen remained in the posture of holding the fruit, motionless and silent, as if he had suddenly turned into a sculpture.
Mr. Cat jumped onto Xiaozhen's shoulder and stretched out his paw to shake it in front of Xiaozhen's eyes. Xiaozhen didn't react at all, not even moving his eyes.
Captain Madara said, "Are you so shocked that you can't speak because it's so delicious?"
Mr. Cat connected his consciousness tentacles to Xiao Zhen, and then disconnected them instantly. "Hiss!" Its reaction was like an involuntary scream after being burned by high temperature. "His physical brain can't bear too much stimulation, and it crashed."
Upon hearing this, Captain Madara also tried to extend his tentacles to sense it.
"I advise you not to do this. Your body can't bear it." Mr. Cat said, "I was connected for a few seconds just now, and it felt like 80,000 organ pipes were singing in unison in my ears, and a thousand battleships were running over me. If it lasts a few more seconds, my host 's head will physically explode into fireworks."
"..." Captain Madara looked at Xiao Zhen with lingering fear, "Is he okay?"
"Well, the worst result is that his host will be burned into an idiot. But his host is already brain dead, so it should be fine."
Two minutes later.
"Ah!!" Xiao Zhen gasped for air. He half-bent over and exhaled. "Ha, ha, ha..."
When the clay figures saw Xiaozhen regain his movements, they immediately applauded together.
Xiao Zhen panted and said, "Why is it so stimulating? It wasn't this strong the last time I ate it."
Mr. Cat said, "I have never eaten the scent fruit directly. Captain Ban?"
"Neither have I."
Mr. Cat asked, "What race was your host body the last time you ate it?"
"Korona Earth Dragon. My host really likes to eat it. I still remember the tingling sensation it had when it tasted the scent fruit. It was truly the ultimate delicacy."
"Are you talking about a giant dragon that's more than ten meters long and five stories high?"
"In local units, it is this big. But when I was living on it, I didn't feel any strong sense of its size."
“…”
Captain Madara shouted, "Look at your body now! What's the size of a Korona Geosaurus? What's the size of an ordinary Homo sapiens? A Geosaurus would be just right for it, but a Homo sapiens would die if it ate it directly!"
Xiao Zhen clapped her hands: "It turned out to be like this!"
Captain Madara said: "You haven't even thought about this kind of fatal thing???"
"I can only say that food can make people forget a lot of things. I've tried the scented brandy, and it's really delicious." Mr. Cat said, "I didn't expect that eating the scented fruit directly would stimulate the senses so much."
Captain Ban sighed, "So, the scented fruit that we worked so hard to grow can't be eaten? This is really sad."
"It's not that bad." Xiao Zhen said, "I have already figured out how to deal with them."
"How to deal with it?"
"On this planet, scented fruits are a truly scarce raw material," Xiao Zhen said. He gave the clay figures a new order to pick scented fruits.
The clay people quickly went to the orchard and started picking . They set up small ladders, picked up special small scissors, and went up and down to pick fruits. In the evening, Xiaozhen got two baskets of fragrant fruits.
He took the fragrant smelling fruits back to his room and instructed the clay figures to squeeze them all into juice. With the continuous work of the clay figures, the two baskets of fragrant smelling fruits were peeled and squeezed into five large bottles of thick juice.
Captain Ban said, "Excuse me, what did you do from beginning to end?"
Xiao Zhen ignored it, he took out the copy box, put the concentrated juice bottle in, and copied 100 bottles of each bottle. From the appearance, these copied juices did not seem to have changed much.
Then he opened a bottle and carefully tasted it again.
After being copied and diluted many times, the current fragrant juice still has some choking power and a slight numbness in the mouth, but it is just right with the special sweet and sour taste of the juice. After the refreshing liquid slides down the throat, it seems that even the body is filled with the fruity aroma.
Xiao Zhen nodded with satisfaction. After adjusting the concentration of the juice, the taste was very close to what he remembered.
"It tastes good." Mr. Cat licked the replica juice in the bowl and nodded with satisfaction. "Although it's not as good as the fragrant brandy, it's not bad."
"It's really good." Captain Madara also praised it. He saw Xiao Zhen turned on the holographic screen, "What are you doing?"
"Sell it for money." Xiao Zhen said, and he hung a sign on the Star Network selling special scented fruit juice.
