Chapter 108: Deep-Sea Dinner
After Cheng Shi jumped off the spaceship, he saw Oldman and several alien humanoids chatting while eating from a distance, so he walked over curiously.
"Yo, big one, this is making new friends again? What do you think? Are you still used to eating? Cheng Shi looked up at the giant beside him and said happily.
"Landlord, I just saw your ship hovering above my head, and just as I was about to say hello to you, the ship flew forward," Oldman said, taking a bite of the deep-sea prawns he was holding in his hand, "I can't get used to this, I don't have to work hard, and I eat well." ”
Cheng Shi sighed, thinking that this was another right-hand man who had no material requirements, so he began to think about keeping him in his team.
"Big man, I see that you don't need body language to speak now," Cheng Shi said and looked at a few alien businessmen beside Oldman, and they smiled at Cheng Shi, "Are these your fellow countrymen?" ”
Oldman haha: "My hometown is so far away, where can I meet my fellow countrymen so coincidentally, they speak a common language in this universe, I also learned it hundreds of years ago, although it is a little rusty now, but listening to them chat for a while will gradually become familiar, and now it is no problem to chat with them normally." ”
Cheng Shi nodded, thinking to himself that this giant Oldman, who was rough on the surface, didn't expect to be a social expert.
"......" Cheng Shi couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Oldman just eating shrimp in a big gulp, but he didn't see him spit out his shell, "Big one, don't you spit out your shell when you eat shrimp?" ”
Oldman was stunned: "The species structure on the planet Tanagh is relatively simple, and you can't eat this kind of mollusk, so isn't this shell able to replenish calcium, why do you want to vomit it?" ”
Cheng Shi wondered if his biology hadn't been learned well? Are shrimp really mollusks? Is there a difference between eating lobster shells and eating stones? There should be no shortage of stones on this planet Tanaji, right? Although the taste of the stone is not good, it is not faster to eat some stones directly if you want to supplement calcium.
"As long as you don't get too scared, just eat it, anyway, I can tell you, humans on our earth don't eat shrimp shells much," Cheng Shi said, scratching his head and grinning, "If you have indigestion at that time, don't bother with mermaids." ”
Oldman smiled loudly, then put a shrimp claw in his mouth, and the bite was crunchy like eating potato chips.
It is said that Cheng Shi's cute pet owl beast never sticks to its landlord when facing food, and as soon as he jumped off the spaceship, he disappeared, and Sister Monkey, as another guardian of the big bird, may have followed to supervise her eating, and she didn't know where she went at this time.
Cheng Shi ran around the Provence spaceship several times in a row, and he was already hungry, and when he saw that the people around him were talking and laughing and eating a deep-sea feast, he also casually walked to a table to prepare for dinner.
"Mr. Cheng Shi, are you coming over for dinner?" Cheng Shi had just taken a sea crab and was about to put it to his mouth when a familiar voice came into his ears.
Cheng Shi turned his head to look over and found that Joyna, the chief engineer of the mermaid spacecraft, was greeting him.
"Oh, it turned out to be Qiao Gong," Cheng Shi put down the sea crab in his hand, looked at the mermaid in front of him and smiled slightly, "How is it?" The move went well, right? ”
Joyna nodded, "Hmm...... Although the work habits of these people you find are not very good, they are generally quite professional, and they have a lot of advanced technology that we can't understand, which makes us more confident in their abilities. ”
"That's ...... There are not many races in this universe that can be as highly self-disciplined as you mermaids," Cheng Shi said with a smile indifferently,
To be honest, I really admire you, if you were to change to another race, hundreds of years of space exile may have been extinct long ago. ”
"Maybe it's all forced to survive," Joyna said and sighed, then smiled confidently, "When our mermaid race was on the mermaid planet before, it wasn't exactly like this, it was a good era, although there were occasional conflicts within the mermaid, but on the whole we were indisputable, but I didn't expect to encounter a force majeure catastrophe." ”
"It's all over now," Cheng Shi said with a sigh of relief, "When you go back, it's still your mermaid planet, and this time I will help you take care of it, and there will be no more world-destroying disasters." ”
Joyna smiled with satisfaction: "Actually, I have also lived on the shore of the earth for a long time, to be honest, the human beings on the earth do not give me a good impression, they seem to not cherish this planet very much, and they are dying in various ways all day long," she sighed as she spoke, and then looked at Cheng Shi with some seriousness in an instant, "Thank you, Your Excellency the Watcher, you saved our entire race." After speaking, he bowed to Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi thought to himself that it was not your bad luck, the two large-scale landings caught up with the human world war, but he was a little unaccustomed to Joyna's new name for him, so he hurriedly stepped forward to support the mermaid who bowed and saluted.
Although the chief engineer of the mermaid didn't know what the powerful power behind Cheng Shi was, as an adult mermaid who had experienced strong winds and waves, she could still see that Cheng Shi was selfless to help them, because during the whole process, Cheng Shi was racking his brains to find a way, and he never asked for any remuneration in the middle.
"Qiao Gong, you don't have to be so polite, this is really my job, I will ...... in the future" Cheng Shi was stuck halfway through speaking, thinking that he couldn't let her know what he was doing in the future, so he smiled awkwardly, "Anyway, you don't have to think about it so much, there is a big surprise on the mermaid planet now, and you will know soon." ”
Joyna smiled mysteriously when she saw Cheng Shi finish speaking, but since Cheng Shi didn't want to say it now, she didn't ask.
The little mermaid North not far away wanted to come over to say hello after seeing Cheng Shi, but unfortunately happened to see the scene of Cheng Shi helping Joyna, so he was stunned for a while and observed the behavior of the two, but muttered in his heart that his sullen brother seemed to be suspected of soaking fish.
"Brother......" North still couldn't help but lean towards Cheng Shi, but he hurriedly closed his mouth in the middle of the conversation, "What are you talking about?" ”
Cheng Shi was a little stunned for a moment when he saw his mermaid sister, he was about to ask Joyna about North's whereabouts, but he didn't expect her to find it by herself.
"I'm looking for you, let's go, find a quiet place, I have something to tell you......" Cheng Shi said and felt that his tone was a little wrong, so he took a half step back and immediately became respectful, "Lord Principal, there are still some details that need to be discussed with you separately regarding the move of your race, are you free now?" ”
North was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Joyna on the side knew the image of North when he was a bear child before, and she thought that her boss might have been exposed when she followed Cheng Shi, so she could understand Cheng Shi's occasional insulting words to North, only to see her shake her head, and then pointed to a corner of the hall: "There is a separate small room over there, you can go there to talk." ”
Cheng Shi followed the direction of Joyna's finger and found a small closed door there: "Thank you," and then turned his head to look at the mermaid sister, "Please move, Lord Principal." ”
I don't know where Cheng Shi learned these polite words, but it is speculated that it may be that he has watched too many human TV series, and he will naturally learn it after hearing and seeing it
It's just that the social level I was in before was too low to be used, and now I suddenly say it, it seems a little abrupt.
The little mermaid followed her brother to the hut in the corner of the hall, and just halfway through the road, she met Yang Yang, who was full of food and drink.
"What are you doing?" Yang Yang looked at his landlord and the little mermaid and asked.
The corners of Cheng Shi's mouth twitched: "I have something to say to her, what about Barbara?" ”
Yang Yang looked left and right: "I don't know, I was still with me when I was eating just now, maybe I went to the toilet," he said and smiled suspiciously, "What are you talking about about national affairs?" Let me hear about it? ”
"Not this time, I'm going to talk to her alone." Cheng Shi immediately replied, thinking that he was going to close the door and educate the violent children about blowing up the statue of their mother, which belonged to the internal struggle of the family, although everyone now knows about this matter, but it is also necessary to make the family ugly in the form not public.
Yang Yang nodded: "Landlord, then are we going to live in the spaceship today or go home to sleep?" ”
"Let's sleep in the spaceship, Rita has already arranged a room for you, and the second sister can go to the second floor to find her now." North interjected, and then pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor not far behind.
Yang Yang then walked towards the stairs, according to the living habits of the big bird, after a hearty dinner, the next thing is naturally a beautiful sleep.
Cheng Shi took the mermaid girl to a small house in the corner of the hall, and the furnishings in the room were a bit like the temporary hut when Cheng Shi first met the mermaid, with a table and four chairs.
"North, why didn't you blow up your mother's statue without saying hello? What do you think? Cheng Shi stared at the mermaid sister with a questioning tone and said.
The little mermaid saw that her brother was obviously not very happy, so she began to mumble: "Such a big statue can't be taken away, and it's easy for us to build another one." ”
"Then there's no need to demolish it by such violent means, right?" Cheng Shi spread out his hand, looking surprised, "What if the spaceship blows up?" Besides, if you can't take it away, you can cut it into several pieces and move it away, and why did the white marble statue in front of the palace blow it up? ”
In other words, the operation of this corpse splitting statue that Cheng Shi thought of was also strange enough, it may be that seeing the giant statues on the earth are transported like this, which has an impact on his worldview.
"Joyna said that it could be blown up directly, and it would have no effect on the spaceship," North frowned as if his eyes lit up, "I remember, it's because my mother doesn't like the statue and can't move it back, yes, that's it." ”
Cheng Shi had an epiphany, and in an instant, the ruins of the mermaid kingdom on the mermaid planet came to his mind, as if he had indeed not seen the statue of the mermaid queen there, but she still wanted to ask more.
"Why doesn't Mom like statues? No, it's not a question of whether her old man likes it or not, why didn't you tell me when you blew up the statue of your mother? What should I know as your older brother? ”
"Low-key, mom likes to be low-key," North replied immediately, and then looked at Cheng Shi in surprise, "It was my brother who said that he wouldn't let me disclose your identity, and that was an internal matter of our mermaid race, so I didn't tell my brother." ”
Cheng Shi sighed, thinking that this was indeed an internal matter of the mermaid race, no matter how he counted, he was an outsider, if according to the laws of this universe, the mermaid queen was not his mother at all, not to mention that the current mermaid queen did not know that she was once her son.
"Master, this ship has noticed something unusual, and I think it is necessary for you to talk to the merfolk." The sound of the information bridge suddenly came to Cheng Shi's brain.
