Cheng Dahua was instantly excited. She waved her leaves at the camera above her head while in Cheng Anlang's arms. She even tried to smile. She opened her mouth halfway and tried hard to lift the corners of her mouth. After trying for a long time, she couldn't lift the corners of her mouth. Her mouth opened wider and wider.
"What is it doing? Is it going to eat the camera?"
"Oh my god, that's terrifying!"
"Holy crap, its teeth are so white! I wonder what brand of toothpaste it uses."
Cheng Dahua opened his mouth wider and wider, and drool was about to flow out uncontrollably.
It abruptly closed its mouth and swallowed its saliva.
No, it must show its polite side!
It recalled the third-rate, melodramatic romance drama it watched on Cheng Anlang's smart computer in the dormitory, featuring a CEO who sexually harassed others all day long. It remembered for a moment, then touched its big mouth with a leaf and blew a kiss towards the camera with a "smack".
Unfortunately, the people in the live stream couldn't understand it.
"Why is it slapping its own mouth...?"
"Maybe he wanted to make his mouth look smaller in the photos..."
Cheng Anlang gathered up Cheng Dahua's leaves: "Stop admiring yourself in front of the camera. After we win this match, I'll let you admire yourself in front of it every day..."
"Huh?"
Everyday Beauty?
Cheng Anlang placed Cheng Dahua on the battle platform, just as the opposing team placed their turtle on the platform as well.
Cheng Anlang smelled a fishy, salty odor: This turtle smells terrible! Doesn't it know how to take a bath?!
Xia Qiming glanced at Cheng Dahua: "Just wait and see how that American turtle smashes you to pieces."
Xia Qiming arrived later than Cheng Anlang and had never seen Cheng Dahua's abilities. He usually focused on practicing with mechs and mutated beasts and rarely heard anyone talk about Cheng Dahua. He only knew that someone had contracted with a flower.
After Cheng Anlang put Cheng Dahua down, his trousers were dirty, revealing a large patch of still-wet water.
Xia Qiming was startled: This flower can pee?! That's terrifying...
Once all the contestants had left, a protective shield was erected over the battle platform.
"It's about to begin. It's about to begin."
"How do you use that flower to deal with the turtle?"
As Cheng Anlang had predicted, the tortoise immediately retracted its limbs and tried to crash into Cheng Dahua. Cheng Anlang had expected that its opponent would crash into its flowerpot, but the tortoise spun around and crashed into Cheng Dahua's face instead.
Cheng Anlang: ? ? ?
Cheng Dahua naturally opened her mouth, seemingly tilting it slightly back, and the beautiful turtle swallowed it whole...
Cheng Anlang hadn't said a word yet: "..."
And that's how it ended...
"That's it?"
"Has there been a minute?"
"What's wrong with this flower! How can its mouth open so wide!"
"That's way too fast."
Xia Qiming stared in disbelief: "What happened? It's over before I even had a chance to show my power?"
Cheng Anlang: What kind of divine power could you possibly possess...?
The first match ended quickly amidst cheers from the crowd, with Cheng Anlang earning his first point.
Cheng Anlang thought about the first game...
It could have ended quickly, I didn't expect it to end so quickly!
The Mutant Beast competition is a two-hour period from 1:00 to 3:00 every day, with random matchmaking. As long as you play fast enough to find a match, you can keep matching, with a daily limit of five matches. The scores of the top ten players will be displayed on the big screen.
Cheng Anlang has suddenly appeared in first place; his name is currently the only one displayed on the big screen.
Meanwhile, the other combat arenas were still staring blankly, trying to intimidate the opposing mutated beasts and contestants with their imposing presence: ? ? ?
"Has someone already finished?"
"Cheng Anlang? The one who grows flowers?"
"We haven't even started yet. We haven't finished communicating with our opponents, and our protective shield hasn't been set up."
"Man, no, the mutated beast can't be this fast!"
After the battle platform declared Cheng Anlang the winner, Cheng Dahua spat out the beautiful turtle.
"vomit--"
As the tortoise was vomited out, Cheng Dahua made vomiting sounds, her mouth agape and saliva spraying out like a torrential rain, all of it landing on the tortoise's shell that hadn't yet crawled away.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh."
Cheng Anlang rushed forward in a panic: "What happened? What happened? Did you hurt your mouth? Did you choke? That can't be..."
He pried open Cheng Dahua's mouth to look inside, but couldn't see anything. In his anxiety, he reached out to touch her, but paused just before inserting his hand: "What if I can't get it out after I put it in..."
