Chapter 157 The 157th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person
"It's okay, Little Feather, we've got you covered. It's normal for girls to have delicate skin." Xinghe patted Li Xingyu's shoulder to comfort her, seeing her somewhat dejected look.
Xinghe had a clear understanding of Li Xingyu's strength. After all, he could barely lift him up shortly after awakening, and he didn't feel any strain when he carried Che in the morning. It was impossible for him not to be able to break the Demon Thorn Fruit. He knew his own weight quite well.
"Little Star, does your finger still hurt? Xinghe is right, we'll be by your side, you don't have to do these things yourself." Tian Shu agreed with Xinghe's words. Little Star is so pretty and delicate (?), she just needs to enjoy their services.
Tian Shu has an 800-meter-thick filter for Li Xingyu, firmly believing from the bottom of his heart that Li Xingyu is delicate and fragile, a girl who needs to be carefully protected in every way.
"I'm fine now. Thank you so much, Grandpa Zi'an, Xinghe, Tianshu, Liyue, Youfennar, Che, and Cain. I have enough to eat in front of me. You don't need to open any more Demon Thorn Fruits for me. I want to eat some more dates later. If I eat too many, I won't be able to eat any more later." Li Xingyu swallowed the Demon Thorn Fruit flesh in her mouth, nodded to show that she had heard what they said, and then looked at her band-aided fingers and the Demon Thorn Fruits on the coffee table that had been opened and whose thorns had been trimmed. A smile appeared on her lips.
Seeing Li Xingyu's nonchalant expression and the fruit on the coffee table in front of her, Si Zian and the others stopped discussing the topic and instead ate the Demon Thorn Fruit earnestly and harmoniously.
Because they also planned to collect seeds of the Demon Thorn Fruit for planting, Li Xingyu and the others ate it very carefully.
Although the devil's thorn fruit is quite large and its surface is still dark purple, its flesh is a whole crystal clear light pink sphere.
The seeds of the Demon Thorn Fruit are hard, off-white grains about the size of pearl rice. They can appear randomly anywhere in the flesh, either in the center or near the skin, so you have to be extra careful when eating them, or you might accidentally swallow them.
'By the way, Qingyao, Hanqing, why isn't there any information about the Demon Thorn Fruit in that plant encyclopedia?' Li Xingyu spat the Demon Thorn Fruit seed that had accidentally pierced her teeth onto a tissue, wiped it off slightly, and called out to Qingyao and Hanqing in her mind.
When Li Xingyu first saw the Demon Thorn Fruit, she subconsciously recalled the Interstellar Flora and Fauna Encyclopedia that Qingyao and Hanqing had given her, but she couldn't find any relevant information in it.
When Yufinal showed them the Demon Thorn Fruit Tree, Li Xingyu was genuinely puzzled and surprised. She had originally planned to put on an act, but it turned out she had overthought things.
'Little Star Feather? Huh? This fruit? Oh, I see.' Han Qing felt Li Xingyu's call and called her to show that he heard her. Seeing that Qing Yao was still engrossed in reading the data, he gave her the idea of going to talk to Li Xingyu. Then he turned his attention to Li Xingyu.
Sensing Li Xingyu's puzzled expression, Han Qing focused her gaze on the Demon Thorn Fruit in front of her, let out a soft "Eh" in surprise, and then began to scan the Demon Thorn Fruit with the system.
"Little Xingyu, this Demon Thorn Fruit isn't just a simple plant; it's a hybrid of energy and plant, which is why it's not included in the Plant Encyclopedia." Han Qing looked at the results and data from the system scan and slowly explained to Li Xingyu using the simplest and most understandable language possible.
'Oh~ I see. Is this Demon Thorn Fruit really that magical? As for energy? Is it the effect that Grandpa Ryan and Nar mentioned?' Although Li Xingyu was chatting with Han Qing, she didn't stop herself from putting the Demon Thorn Fruit into her mouth.
"According to the scan results, that's right. By the way, Little Xingyu, can I scan a copy of this Demon Thorn Fruit? It looks delicious." Han Qing agreed with Li Xingyu's opinion and then asked if a copy could be scanned into their space.
"Sure, this Demon Thorn Fruit is really delicious. The taste and texture are both great, and it's even a little bit fun." Li Xingyu nodded, indicating that it was fine. Anyway, it was just a scan, and then it would be materialized with energy points. It wouldn't affect her reality, so it didn't matter.
"Okay, Little Xingyu, do you need us to compile all the biological data in this world for you?" Han Qing first scanned the Demon Thorn Fruit, and then asked Li Xingyu.
'Did you guys compile all this information? Including the previous encyclopedia of flora and fauna?' Li Xingyu took a bite of the last magic thorn fruit that Si Zian and the others had given her, feeling both curious and puzzled.
"Well, actually it's mainly the small system on the Time Management Bureau's side. Qingyao and I are just responsible for telling them the big information like the coordinates of this world. They are responsible for organizing the other data." Han Qing used her current perspective to observe how Xinghe and the others ate the Demon Thorn Fruit while chatting with Li Xingyu. Anyway, there was nothing else to do, so chatting was nice.
"Oh, I see. Well, thank you all for your hard work. We don't need this encyclopedia of biology; it's too much trouble. If I come across something that others don't know, I can ask you. Life always requires exploring the unknown." Li Xingyu shook her head and declined.
Besides, isn't this a great opportunity for communication? No matter who it's with.
"Okay, does Xiao Xingyu have any other questions?" Han Qing nodded, then remembered that Li Xingyu couldn't see them now, and said something else.
They could sense Li Xingyu's thoughts to some extent, and it had to be said that it was a very reasonable and thoughtful idea.
"It's all right for now. I just suddenly thought of this problem, and since it was still quite early, I called you guys. Han Qing, thank you for your help." Li Xingyu's voice was light and a little embarrassed.
"It's alright, no need to be so polite. Since Xiao Xingyu is alright, I'll log off now. Remember to call us if you need anything." Han Qing's gentle voice softened considerably. Xiao Xingyu was quite polite; it was the first time she'd encountered a host like this.
"Oh well, I don't want to think about these things anymore. I've come across something new and interesting today. Let's go find Qingyao to eat with, and let her rest a bit." Han Qing thought to herself, and her mood improved considerably.
"Okay, bye-bye, Han Qing." Upon hearing Han Qing's words, Li Xingyu finished eating the Demon Thorn Fruit in her hand, picked up a washed jujube, and said goodbye to Han Qing.
When the system logs off, it's similar to exiting the chat interface. If you want to find someone, just send their name or @ them.
After saying goodbye to Li Xingyu, Han Qing went to find Qing Yao, while Li Xingyu ate dates while reading... "The Adventures of Little Carp"?
"Hmm? You guys chose this animation? You have good taste!" Li Xingyu gave Xinghe and the others a thumbs up. Although she didn't know who chose it, she liked watching it.
"Hehe, we just didn't know what to watch at first, and Little Star seemed to be thinking about something, so we didn't want to bother you. Then we thought this name was very special, so... but it's quite good. Is this also a re-enactment of... an animated film??" Che explained to Li Xingyu somewhat embarrassedly. Actually, he wanted to know how the carp would go on its adventure.
Because everyone else felt it didn't matter what they looked at, since they had never seen anything that Li Xingyu had restored before, let alone guess what it contained. The names of those documents were just too broad.
The group was having a great time watching cartoons and eating fruit in the living room.
To Li Xingyu's surprise, Si Zian actually enjoyed watching the cartoon quite a bit, watching it much more attentively than she did. Although the others were equally enthusiastic, Si Zian was just too focused.
'Sure enough, men are boys until they die, Wuhu, Xiao Meimei, ah~ she sings so well, I love listening to her.' After watching a few episodes, Li Xingyu saw Xiao Meimei appear and immediately started cheering for her.
"Oh dear, what's this song called again? Lullaby on the Blue Waves? That should be the name, right? Let me see if I've recorded it." Li Xingyu was watching cartoons while simultaneously searching for the song on her personal computer.
"Xingyu, this song is so nice. Is the name the 'Azure Wave Lullaby' you mentioned? Can I cover it?" Before Li Xingyu could finish speaking, Che's voice rang out.
As a purebred merman, Che is completely powerless against beautiful and melodious songs, and his own singing skills are not low. Especially after transforming into his original form, with the blessing of his bloodline and merman voice, he can sing with a soul-stirring effect.
This isn't an adjective, but a factual verb; that's the power of a god-level merman.
"Ah~ if I remember correctly, it should be this name. Covering it is no problem. Che sings very well. But let me check if I have the sheet music and the song. If not, I need to get the sheet music and the original song first." Li Xingyu nodded. She hadn't made a special effort to remember these things, and a lot had happened these past few days. She had almost forgotten when she had uploaded "The Adventures of Little Carp," let alone the background music.
Memorizing names and associating them with specific things is an area where Li Xingyu is extremely bad at.
The reason she was able to remember this name was thanks to some bloggers online. Li Xingyu often saw some compilations online, and she watched a lot of themed compilations of songs and cartoons. Sometimes, while scrolling through short videos, she would end up on a music app.
So it was quite a coincidence that Li Xingyu could remember the name of this song. After all, "The Adventures of Little Carp" is a childhood memory for a generation, and people's understanding of the characters is different at different ages.
"Ah~ I found it. There were so many files and pictures that it was a bit difficult to find. I haven't finished recording the song yet, but the sheet music and lyrics are here. Che can practice first. I've posted it in the group. Others can take a look if they're interested. You can not only sing it, but also play it on an instrument. I have almost all the instruments in my room." Li Xingyu finally found what she wanted, posted it in their group of ten people, and smiled at everyone.
"Ah~ in Xingyu's room? Is that inappropriate?" Che paused for a moment as he turned on his personal terminal to look at the sheet music.
Euphemia and Cain reacted similarly, with surprise, astonishment, and a touch of shyness.
"It's okay, it's not in the bedroom. My room has many functional rooms, similar to the previous craft room." Li Xingyu knew what they were worried about and waved her hand to explain.
Yufinal and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, so that's how it is. They had been overthinking it.
Xinghe and the others kept glancing back and forth between the projection wall and Yufinar and his group, looking like they wanted to watch both an animated film and a live show.
Li Xingyu already knew that Yu Fenar and the others had been watching his live stream, so he gave a simple example.
Once you get used to a room, it immediately comes to mind as a place to rest and sleep. It seems that most other people's homes don't have a similar layout.
"Did we introduce the basic layout of the rooms in the Li family ancestral home to Yufinal and the others before?" Li Xingyu suddenly thought of this and turned to ask Xinghe next to him.
"Hmm... I don't think so. I got too engrossed in our conversation, which was something I overlooked." Xinghe carefully recalled their afternoon together, paused for a moment, and then showed a somewhat annoyed expression.
"Oh yeah, we forgot to tell them when they chose and arranged the rooms, but it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it?" Tian Shu's expression first showed sudden realization, then turned into confusion.
"Haha, it's alright, it's not too late to find out now." Che scratched the back of his head, somewhat awkwardly changing the subject.
“Che is right, there’s no problem. Let’s talk about it in a few days. We need to dry the herbs, complete the relevant tests and scans, and input the data in the next two days. There might not be much time, but I will try to record the song when I have some free time.” Li Xingyu nodded and followed Che’s lead, explaining the arrangements for the next two days.
"Okay, Little Feather, do you need to prepare some things that we don't have at home?" Xinghe asked Li Xingyu, holding a half-eaten date in her hand.
"Besides the bamboo baskets for drying herbs, we also need some stone mortars and pestles to grind the herbs into powder. We should have plenty of scissors at home, and the kitchen should be able to process them..." Li Xingyu and Xinghe talked about the tools they would need while thinking about the specific steps for processing the herbs.
"Okay, then I'll prepare the necessary items according to Little Feather's request. I'll trouble Little Feather to draw some tools that we haven't seen before. I'll discuss it with Grandpa Foxy." Xinghe nodded in understanding and arranged things according to their previous habits.
