Cheng Anlang asked in confusion, "Is there some kind of dietary restriction?"
He always thought that mutated beasts could eat whatever they wanted.
“Mutant beasts are always meant to fight, so their diet needs to be nutritionally balanced to keep their bodies in peak condition. Apart from crystals, almost all mutant beasts eat special animal food and eat less human food,” Zhang Mingyu continued. “Of course, if a mutant beast is really greedy, you can’t stop it. For example, Shen Rui’s duck will peck at every dish that’s served, but the lizard doesn’t care. It’s not greedy and will eat whatever you give it.”
"Croak!"
Lizard rolled his eyes at that rude, deadbeat.
Cheng Anlang nodded: "I see."
Should large-flowered plants be fertilized with chemical fertilizers?
Cheng Anlang glanced at the flowerpot of the big flower, then moved to the big flower's constantly smacking mouth.
But the big flower has a mouth, so it seems it doesn't need to get nutrients from the soil...
It's a bit messy...
Should we buy some nutrient solution for the big flower and add it to the soil...?
Cheng Anlang shook his head: Why am I thinking about such a scientific question? The existence of large flowers is not very scientific in itself, and there is no need to use scientific methods to cultivate them.
Cheng Anlang stuffed the squid tentacles that were dangling near Cheng Dahua's mouth back in, wiped the oil off Cheng Dahua's mouth, and then remembered something else.
Cheng Anlang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Um... could you do me a favor..."
Zhang Mingyu picked out the fish bones, fed the lizard a small piece of fish, and looked up to ask, "What kind of help do you need? Just say it."
"Didn't you say you wanted to buy Big Flower's saliva before? I think you shouldn't give me the money."
Zhang Mingyu asked in confusion, "If you don't want money, then what do you want?"
Cheng Anlang gently rubbed Cheng Dahua's flowerpot with his thumb and slowly said, "I want to give Dahua... a flowerpot made of S-grade materials..."
"Aww?" Cheng Dahua tilted its big head. Was it going to get a new flowerpot?
S-grade materials are extremely rare. Cheng Anlang thought he had to seize this opportunity to tell Zhang Mingyu that if he missed it, he might not get another chance, and the time would drag on and on until he graduated.
"you……"
Zhang Mingyu was speechless for a moment.
Aren't you short of money?
Don't you want to get a new mech?
Do you know how much a tank of fish saliva costs?
You actually want to use this money to buy Cheng Dahua a flowerpot that looks nice but is actually useless?
Seeing that Zhang Mingyu hadn't spoken, Cheng Anlang assumed it was because he didn't have enough money, and quickly said, "I can earn the money to make up for the shortfall."
“It’s not about the money,” Zhang Mingyu said. “If S-grade materials aren’t used in mecha, they’re useless except for being aesthetically pleasing and sturdy. Even so, would you still use them to make a flowerpot?”
Cheng Anlang nodded: "It
The flowerpots I'm using now are just random ones I bought; they're so cheap. I'm always worried they'll break while I'm fighting. S-grade materials, on the other hand, are sturdi enough.
Zhang Mingyu was genuinely surprised that Cheng Anlang would spend so much money on just a flowerpot for Cheng Dahua. It wasn't that he was prejudiced against or looked down on Cheng Anlang. He thought that Cheng Anlang would save the money first, or buy a new mecha, and then prepare things for Cheng Dahua.
Seeing that Zhang Mingyu was silent again, Cheng Anlang assumed it was because of a shortage of S-grade materials: "I'm not in a hurry. I'll make it whenever I have extra."
Zhang Mingyu snapped out of his reverie and coughed softly, "Right now... there really aren't any left. We'll have to wait a while. I'll keep an eye out for you."
Cheng Anlang waved his hand: "It's alright, just make it before Cheng Dahua and I go to the battlefield with Shen Rui. If... we don't finish it in the end, then forget it..."
Given the current situation, a war between humans and the Zerg is inevitable sooner or later, and the unawakened Zerg king is also a potential threat that could explode at any time.
In the future, he and Da Hua belong to Shen Rui, and Shen Rui will definitely go to the battlefield with Zhang Mingyu. He needs to prepare slowly, leave his life on the battlefield, and make meritorious contributions. Only in this way can he have a more hopeful future.
Zhang Mingyu pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I thought you would switch to a different mecha first."
Cheng Anlang shook his head: "Mechs can be bought anytime, but pure S-grade materials are too rare. I have to prepare in advance. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have been able to get access to a source of pure S-grade materials."
Zhang Mingyu: "You're really good to Da Hua..."
Cheng Anlang stroked Cheng Dahua's big head and sighed, "If I'm not good to it, who else can I be good to..."
Cheng Anlang lowered his eyes.
If I don't treat it well, one day someone else will treat it well in my place...
One day...
Chapter 10, 10. Don't eat anymore.
"Huh?" Cheng Dahua tilted her head in confusion.
Cheng Anlang suddenly woke up, withdrew his hand, smiled at Cheng Dahua, and hurriedly picked up some meat from the table, dipped it in the green sauce, and was about to stuff it into his mouth.
Zhang Mingyu was startled and stood up to stop him, the chair scraping against each other with a sharp sound: "Wait a minute..."
However, it was already too late.
"!!!" Cheng Anlang's eyes widened.
In an instant, Cheng Anlang felt a numbing and spicy sensation rush into his nasal cavity, exploding like a bomb inside. Tears welled up in his eyes like a faucet being turned on, and he couldn't hold them back.
