"Aww..."

I'm like a running tap...

Chapter 54, Travel

Under everyone's gaze, Cheng Dahua spat out a mouthful of water. The fish thrashed about twice, and after being drenched in water, it finally stood up and wiggled its tail a couple of times.

"Ah! My fish! My fish, you've come back to life!"

Cheng Dahua spat disdainfully; it tasted so fishy…

It's been a long time since I've had such a fishy smell. Fish definitely tastes better when it's cooked...

Cheng Dahua mentally planned, "Tonight we'll have fish! But should I have it grilled, pan-fried, or stewed? Or maybe a combination of all three?!"

However, it didn't get to eat any fish. After its competition with Cheng Anlang, Zhang Mingyu packed it up and put it on a spaceship to take it on a trip to another planet.

Cheng Anlang sat in the first row, with Zhang Mingyu next to him. Cheng Anlang said awkwardly, "This is a bit rushed... I haven't prepared anything yet..."

"Ouch."

It's okay. Cheng Dahua dug out the mini storage compartment from the soil in the basin, and I took all the barbecue equipment.

Ever since Cheng Dahua got her own miniature storage pod, she'd been urging Cheng Anlang to buy her all sorts of cooking equipment. After getting tired of playing in the advanced combat zone, she and the lizards would run off to the small lake behind the school to catch fish and shrimp, playing house. Of course, the four mutated beasts pushed each other, none of them wanting to go in. Although Duck was good at catching fish, it only did so in Shen Rui's own pond. In the end, Cheng Anlang bought them a large fishing net.

So, couples who come to the lakeside to chat and enjoy the romance can occasionally see four mutated beasts casting a fishing net, catching a large pile of fish and shrimp, then lighting a fire by the lake to grill the fish, sprinkling it with delicious seasoning powder sponsored by a local catering company...

Cheng Dahua provided the barbecue equipment, Ya Ya did the net casting, and Xi Gua and Luo Si Fen pulled it up. Only Cheng Dahua and Ya Ya could grill the fish; Xi Gua was on all fours, and Luo Si Fen, who had no limbs, could only huddle underneath, blowing on the fire and waiting to eat.

Some of the fish and shrimp in the lake were raised by the canteen. For a while, the fishermen noticed that the number they were catching seemed a bit low, and they thought there was a problem with their breeding, until they saw mutated beasts casting nets into the lake...

Actually, mutated beasts often come to the lake to fish, which is nothing unusual, and the staff don't care. But Cheng Dahua and her group don't just catch fish; they cast nets to catch them, and they catch quite a lot. They just set up a barbecue grill by the lake and start eating right away. They come every few days, so it's impossible to ignore them. They all recognize Zhang Mingyu and Shen Rui's mutated beasts and don't dare to stop them. In the end, they reported it to the school.

Ever since Cheng Dahua and the others became obsessed with having barbecues by the lake, Zhang Mingyu has finally been able to spend time alone with Cheng Anlang in peace and undisturbed. He no longer has to worry about a big, dark head suddenly squeezing in and yelling while he's petting Cheng Anlang. Life couldn't be more enjoyable.

That day, Zhang Mingyu was personally instructing An Lang on how to operate his S-class mecha when he suddenly received a call from the school saying that his mutated beasts had damaged the ecosystem of the small lake. An Lang, overhearing this, immediately knew it was because Cheng Dahua and the others had caught too many fish; he regretted buying them such a large fishing net. Before he could even express his remorse for the school's small lake, Zhang Mingyu...

With a wave of his hand, he indicated that he was throwing in money and letting them take whatever they wanted.

So the mutant beasts that came to fish discovered that the number of fish and shrimp in the lake had increased, and many new species with good taste had also appeared.

After wreaking havoc on the small lake, Cheng Dahua and her companions tried to wreak havoc on the cafeteria's vegetable garden, only to be terrified and desperately stopped by the farmers. The ducks had been there before, pecking at a couple of leaves before leaving, and the farmers hadn't bothered. But this time was different; four of them came together, including Cheng Dahua. They couldn't contact Zhang Mingyu directly, and notifying the school first would be time-consuming. Luckily, someone in the group was a gossip enthusiast and went directly to the beginner combat zone to find Cheng Anlang. Finally, Cheng Anlang ran out of class, a duck in his left hand, a flower in his right, followed by a lizard and a snake, leading them out of the vegetable garden.

So they could only wreak havoc on the small lake. Gradually, more and more mutated beasts came to fish in the small lake, and more and more people came to fish. They would grill the fish they caught right there by the lake. The small lake turned from a brothel into a fishing and leisure area... In the end, the school had no choice but to ban humans from fishing. As for the mutated beasts, well, Zhang Mingyu had money to throw at them.

Cheng Dahua and her group also developed a small business: anyone fishing by the lake who could offer half of their fish could use their barbecue grill and seasonings. Half a fish wasn't much for some mutated beasts; it just meant sticking their mouths out of the lake a few more times, and Cheng Dahua's seasonings were very fragrant, so giving it away wasn't a loss. Some mutated beasts' owners weren't very wealthy, and their beast food was limited, so they would come to the lake, catch a few fish, sometimes eat them raw, and sometimes offer half to Cheng Dahua to grill on her grill. Some mutated beasts would even carry the grilled fish back to their dormitories to their owners.

Not everyone can buy good barbecue seasoning. There are many people who want to eat but can't buy it. After hearing that Cheng Dahua was barbecuing by the lake, some people wanted to bring their own fish to barbecue. It was fine once or twice, but later, as more and more people came, Cheng Dahua and her group only allowed mutated beasts to bring fish from the lake to barbecue. Humans were not accepted at all.

Couples who come to the lakeside to be lovey-dovey often smell the smoke and barbecue seasonings wafting from the lake. The smells are quite enticing, and they can't stay romantic any longer, so they head to a barbecue restaurant hand in hand to eat first.

This resulted in Cheng Dahua being as busy as a barbecue restaurant owner for a long time, returning to the dormitory with a strong smell of barbecue and fish. The other mutated beasts were the same. When Shen Rui met Cheng Anlang in the advanced combat zone, he almost scolded him again, but Ya Ya covered his mouth with a wing and he couldn't say anything.

On this trip, Cheng Dahua brought a complete set of barbecue equipment, and Ya Ya brought a basket of eggs.

Looking at the starry sky outside the spacecraft, Cheng Anlang asked, "Where are we going?"

Zhang Mingyu grasped his hand: "Kiss Quanxing."

The planet they were going to was called Kissing Star, and its most famous feature was its hot springs.

Upon hearing the name, Cheng Anlang immediately understood: "Hot spring?"

Zhang Mingyu nodded: "Yes, I have a piece of land on that planet, so I don't have to worry about being disturbed."

Hot springs... Cheng Anlang awkwardly touched his back. Although he had never soaked in a hot spring, he knew that pigs could run, so wouldn't he have to expose his upper body?

Originally, Zhang Mingyu only brought Cheng Anlang and their respective mutated beasts, and had no intention of bringing Ya Ya. However, Xigua let it slip in front of Ya Ya, and Ya Ya got excited as soon as it heard it: hot springs! How could it not come along to a place like a hot spring where swimming, bathing, and boiling eggs are all in one place!

So Ya Ya stole the eggs from the little hen team in her backyard, intending to take them to the hot springs with Zhang Mingyu to boil them. When Zhang Mingyu opened the door today, he saw Shen Rui standing there and forcibly gave him the duck she was carrying.

Chapter 55 55, hot springs

The spacecraft landed on a small island in the southern hemisphere of Kissing Star.

Cheng Dahua was the first to jump out of the window, landing with a thud on the ground. Yaya and Xigua followed behind, and Zhang Mingyu pulled Cheng Anlang down.

Before me was an exquisite villa, with lush trees and grass arranged in a pleasing manner. Occasionally, the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing could be heard from the depths of the villa. The butler, who had been waiting there, came forward.

"Hello, please follow me."

Zhang Mingyu nodded and said to Cheng Anlang, "Let's go, let's put our things down first, and then we'll go to the hot springs."

"Oh, okay." Cheng Anlang let Zhang Mingyu lead him, then said, "But I... I didn't bring any suitable clothes..."

Zhang Mingyu smiled and said, "It's alright, I've prepared everything for you."

Cheng Anlang: "..."

"Gah—"

The duck leaped high from a large rock beside the hot spring and, like a diver, splashed into the hot spring, creating a huge spray of water.

The lizard squinted and transformed into a three-meter-long lizard, floating in the hot spring like a crocodile. On its back were Zhang Mingyu's AI and a miniature storage compartment, as well as Zhang Mingyu's dainty little teapot and teacup. The teacup was already filled with fragrant tea, bobbing up and down with the movement of the lizard's claws.

Cheng Anlang squatted beside the hot spring, rinsing the substrate on the roots of Cheng Dahua.
