"And why do you have to do this kind of thing secretly in the middle of the night..."
"Aww..."
I just want to give it a try; if it doesn't work, I'll just pretend nothing happened.
Cheng Anlang didn't understand Cheng Dahua's meaning either: "Forget it, go wash your head yourself, I'll sweep the floor again, and we'll clean up the rest tomorrow, I'm so sleepy..."
"Aww..."
The next morning, Cheng Anlang changed the substrate for Cheng Dahua and explained the difference between white clay and soil again. Cheng Dahua had no choice but to give up.
It seems its own soil won't do; it can only wait for some radish powder to be delivered to it...
After class, Cheng Anlang continued playing matches while holding Cheng Dahua.
This time, the opponent is a snake named Greedy Snake, and its owner is named Wu Ming.
The key point is that this time the scene is actually an edible scene.
Cheng Anlang searched for information about Snake on the school's intranet. Snake is initially only the size of a finger. The more it eats, the longer its body becomes and the greater its attack power. At the beginning, because its body is small, it eats less and its growth rate is slow. But later, when its body gets bigger, its growth rate will increase several times. It is all about the later stages.
When matching in the beginner group, the system will match based on the characteristics of both mutated beasts. The gluttonous snake needs to eat, while Cheng Dahua only needs a place to put flower pots.
In the knockout stage, aside from designating a specific area for mutated beasts that can only swim in water, everyone else is matched with whatever is available.
The scene consists of a huge and complex chocolate maze. The two mutated beasts will only meet if they choose the correct path. Once inside the maze, command is disabled.
Various desserts are placed along the maze path, three of which are simulated bombs. If a mutated beast bites one of these desserts, it will simulate the feeling of a bomb exploding, and the system will immediately eliminate the player after ten seconds, possibly before they even have a chance to meet an opponent.
The dessert made from bombs emits heat from the inside out, and the mutated beasts have to get close and suppress their appetite to feel it carefully.
Previously, if a monster ate a bomb, the bomb would explode inside its stomach. The system would then assess the monster's condition; if it was severely injured, it would lose; otherwise, it would continue. However, after complaints that this was too cruel, it was simplified to this version...
Cheng Anlang mentioned the bomb to Cheng Dahua, and Cheng Dahua nodded.
Cheng Anlang went on stage and placed Cheng Dahua at one of the entrances to the maze on his side. The maze was very high, and Cheng Anlang could not see what was happening on the other side.
The protective shield was erected on the battle platform, signaling the start of the match.
The flying camera captured the entire maze from high above.
Do you think they'll meet before one of the mutated beasts eats the bomb?
"It's hard to say..."
Cheng Anlang: "Dahua, go..."
Cheng Anlang meant for Cheng Dahua to enter through the maze entrance, and Cheng Dahua—
It took a bite right at the chocolate wall, and the chocolate wall was instantly bitten through.
"Aww!"
It's so delicious!
Because it's a virtual scene, the battle arena can focus on the flavor as much as possible, since there's no harm in doing so.
Cheng Dahua excitedly ate one chocolate after another, and the chocolate wall grew bigger and bigger.
"Damn! You can do that?! What's the point of a maze then?!"
"Ahhh, Huahua is so amazing! Mommy loves you!"
Cheng Anlang: How could I not have thought of that...
Cheng Dahua gnawed a large hole in the chocolate wall. After a quick glance, she jumped through the hole and entered the maze.
A cheesecake was right in front of her, covered with a thick layer of mango sauce. Without thinking, Cheng Dahua swallowed the soft cake in one bite.
"Aww—"
This is so delicious! It's heaven!
"How could it eat without even checking? Isn't it afraid there might be a bomb?!"
"Holy crap, holy crap, is there a bomb?"
"No, no, it definitely won't happen!"
Cheng Anlang couldn't see anything, and his request to check on the condition of the mutated beasts inside the arena was rejected. He could only pray silently from outside the arena.
Cheng Dahua showed no sign of distress, continuing to gnaw on the chocolate wall, completely ignoring the maze's layout. It ate incredibly fast, nibbling a hole, jumping across to eat whatever was on the path, then moving on to gnaw on the chocolate wall again, slowly—
"Huahua, you're chewing on the wrong wall! Not that wall! The one on your left leads to the other side!"
"Oh no, Cheng Dahua has fainted..."
"That snake over there is so well-behaved, it's still following the path."
"So what? Going in the wrong direction will only lead you further astray!"
"This snake"
She's eating so carefully! Cheng Dahua has already eaten a third of it…
"There's nothing we can do about it. It eats so carefully, and it has to check for bombs. Besides, the snake is so small right now, it can only eat in small bites. It needs to grow bigger before it can swallow a whole bite, and then it will eat faster and faster. It relies on the later stages."
Cheng Dahua was completely unaware that it was nibbling in the wrong direction; its gaze was fixed intently on the white bean paste and salted egg yolk pastry in front of it.
