Chapter 439 - Unexpected Harvest (1/2)

Chapter 439: Unexpected Harvest

It was another morning when the Old Task Force knocked on Xiaochong’s apartment door, bringing with them the latest portable computer that contained all kinds of games and some ingredients.

This time, it wasn’t Slumber Cat who opened the door but Xiaochong himself. As if he had long known that the visitors were Shang Jianyao and the others, he eagerly asked, “What games are there?”

After asking the question, he seemed to find it inappropriate and added, “What’s there to eat?”

Jiang Baimian smiled and introduced, “We’ll be making you four dishes and a soup today. It’s a home-cooked meal for Ashlandics.”

Shang Jianyao quickly introduced the games on the computer and sighed regretfully. “It’s just that the hard disk isn’t large enough to fit everything.”

“I’ll swap them out when I’m sick of them.” Xiaochong looked at the portable computer and then at the ingredients in Long Yuehong and Bai Chen’s hands. For a moment, he didn’t know if he should take a gander at the games or wait for lunch.

“You have about an hour.” Jiang Baimian rolled up her sleeves and walked to the kitchen.

Xiaochong watched her figure disappear around the corner and whispered, “If only my mother were that open-minded back then.”

“Because she’s not your mother,” Shang Jianyao replied seriously.

Xiaochong fell silent for a few seconds. “That’s true…”

Shang Jianyao didn’t continue the topic. He pulled Xiaochong to the side and tried different games.

At noon, braised pork, steamed fish from the lake, fried chicken cubes, stir-fried vegetables, and tomato omelet soup were served on the dining table. Compared to last time, there was plenty of food today because the four carbon-based Old Task Force members also planned on having a meal together to create a harmonious and sweet atmosphere.

It was easy to talk at the dining table!

Xiaochong first lowered his head and ate for a while before sighing. “It’s been a long time since I ate these…”

Jiang Baimian smiled. “Hurry up and eat, or he’ll finish it.”

‘He’ was referring to Shang Jianyao.

Xiaochong stopped talking and ate seriously.

After everyone was almost done eating, Jiang Baimian smiled and said, “We’ve been fleecing Wu Meng recently.”

“Huh?” Xiaochong looked at her in confusion and curiosity.

Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to mention how she and the others had recorded the Dao and Electrical Appliance Repairs broadcast and talked about the various interesting experiences gained from the effects.

Finally, she sighed. “Unfortunately, we can’t get Wu Meng to say what we want. We can’t get the preset effects.”

Xiaochong held his chopsticks and looked at the leftovers on the table. He then looked back at the portable computer on the other side and hesitated for a moment. “Why don’t I record it for you?”

“Huh?” This time, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen were surprised. Their original goal was to see if Xiaochong could come up with a solution, but the other party had ended up volunteering.

Shang Jianyao had a gratified expression as if his ‘befriending’ of Xiaochong hadn’t been in vain.

Jiang Baimian fell silent for a moment before agreeing. She didn’t pretend to be polite. “Alright.”

She was afraid that Xiaochong would take it seriously and give up on the idea.

B-but can you influence others through electronic products like Wu Meng? Can you achieve the goal of making Marcus have the urge to go to the bathroom? These two thoughts subconsciously flashed through Long Yuehong’s mind.

Xiaochong then glanced at him.

“Let’s finish eating first.” Jiang Baimian restrained her impatience.

After having their fill, they washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. The five Old Task Force members and Xiaochong then gathered at the dining table again.

During this process, Genava—who had been charging himself at the sofa—Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen returned to the safe house they had stayed in last night and brought over a portable recording device.

Xiaochong sat up straight and eagerly said, “I’m going to begin.”

At this moment, Slumber Cat—who was sleeping on the balcony—stood up with a whoosh. It gently jumped onto the shed below and disappeared into the alley behind.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Baimian subconsciously considered covering her ears.

The next second, Xiaochong opened his mouth and whistled. “Shh…”

“Shh…”

“Shh…”

Amidst this commotion, Long Yuehong’s expression suddenly turned odd. He felt his lower abdomen swell as the pressure on his bladder increased.

In just a few seconds, he had the urge to rush to the bathroom.

It’s really effective… Long Yuehong moved his thigh, wanting to hold it in for a while longer to prevent himself from embarrassing himself.

At this moment, Bai Chen suddenly stood up and walked to the bathroom.

Amidst the whistling, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao lined up behind her.

Long Yuehong almost cried when he saw this because he didn’t know if he could hold it in until they were done.

If it really doesn’t work out, why don’t I water the plants on the balcony? But will I get beaten by Slumber Cat if I do that… Long Yuehong tried his best to divert his attention.
