Chapter 52: Using Aliens to Fish for Food

Paul felt that Ares was telling a ghost story.

He sneered: “Even if you go bankrupt, I still have money.”

Ares had a blank expression on his face and pointed in the direction of Sheng Jiu: “Young boss, we don’t accept credit points here.”

Boll:?
He turned his head in confusion, met Sheng Jiu’s curious gaze, and asked subconsciously: “Then what are you collecting?”

Sheng Jiu thought about this question for a while before nodding: “Star mushrooms, thorn peppers, mutant octopus claws, green radish whiskers, exploding lotus seeds… I’m not picky.”

Boll:

What a good sentence! You are not picky!

Just ask me in my current state, which of them do you think I can beat?
Bol lay flat on the spot and sneered, “Then just die of thirst.”

Ares smiled after hearing this and said, “That’s fine. There just so happens to be another field of jujubes coming up behind us. They may need fertilizer.”

Bol was so angry that his blood boiled. He wanted to compete with Ares, but found himself tied up.

Only then did Boll realize that he was tied up tightly: “You…”

Ares repeated his previous question: “So, do you have money?”

Paul said nothing.

Ares didn’t care: “If you don’t have money, you can have sleeping soothing agent, gene repair liquid, or nourishing liquid. If it doesn’t work, you always have nutrient liquid, right? What about nutrient cream?”

Bol didn’t want to move at first, but he couldn’t bear to hear Ares going too far, so he sneered, “I have a used AI, do you want it?”

Ares heard that the things were coming, so he nodded quickly: “It’s OK.”

Bol sneered: “Do you think I’m stupid? If you had an intelligent computer, you would have gone back long ago. Why are you still staying on this desolate planet?”

Ares spread his hands indifferently: “If you don’t want to give it to me, I can only use you to catch mutant octopuses. They like the smell of humans. If I use you to catch them, the mutant octopuses will definitely come out.”

Thinking of the terrifying touch of the mutant octopus’ tentacles and the sticky feeling, Bol shuddered violently. He roared, “Commander Sayle, don’t go too far! We prisoners have human rights too!”

Ares: “Oh.”

Boll:?
Damn it, when I get out of this predicament, I’ll kill you first!
Boll finally assisted and handed over an abandoned intelligent computer.

Sheng Jiu poured him a glass of jujube water.

Drinking the vaguely familiar taste, Bol frowned and said, “Are there really star dates around here?”

Ares nodded: “It’s a high-level mutation, the star date vine is so big that it covers the sky and the earth.”

Paul licked his lips and said nothing, just drank the water in big gulps.

After drinking a glass of water, Bol looked up at Sheng Jiu and asked, “Anything else?”

Sheng Jiu was in no hurry to speak and turned to look at Ares.

Ares understood immediately: “Do you have money?”

Boll:?
If he wasn’t tied up, he would have jumped three feet high: “Don’t go too far! My brain is discarded, is it worth only the price of a glass of jujube juice?”

Ares nodded: “You also know that yours is a discarded intelligent brain, right? Don’t you think about how difficult it is to kill Xingzao and how difficult it is to take him?”

This is true.

Although Boll looked unhappy, he did not refute anymore. He just looked at Sheng Jiu with an unpredictable expression.

A question mark appeared above Sheng Jiu’s head?
What are you looking at?
If you look again, I will strip you!
Sheng Jiu rolled his eyes at him and poured another glass of jujube water, but did not rush to give it to Bol. Instead, he turned to look at Ares.

Ares quickly spoke up: “Let’s use you to catch mutant octopuses. The boss wants to sell spicy fried octopus claws tomorrow.”

Boll:?
He immediately went berserk: “Are you crazy? Eating mutant octopus? That thing is poisonous!”

After hearing this, Sheng Jiu vaguely understood Ares’ previous evaluation of Bol.

It has a bad reputation, but it is not necessarily bad in nature.

Sheng Jiu was about to explain, but Ares was one step faster than him: “The young boss can handle it, you just act as bait.”

Paul: Damn it!
Boll finally compromised by keeping silent.

Sheng Jiu fed him two more cups of jujube water.

Then Ares took the man away.

The door to the balcony was closed again.

Sheng Jiu stood there, still holding an empty cup in her hand. After a long while, she muttered quietly: “How come the guests came, but I didn’t feel that I was making money?” After muttering, Sheng Jiu realized something else: “Now that Ares and the others have an intelligent computer, can they leave?”

[Theoretically it is possible. 】

Sheng Jiu:?
Although the reality may be a little different.

But, I should be able to go back, right?

Sheng Jiu felt a little empty inside, thinking that he didn’t know how long it would take before he would meet new diners after they left.

However, the effect of star jujube tea is still very good.

Sheng Jiu fell asleep after cleaning up.

In the dream, Sheng Jiu vaguely thought that he seemed to have forgotten something.

It wasn’t until he woke up the next day that Sheng Jiu realized…

They didn’t clean up yesterday!
As soon as Sheng Jiu realized what had happened, he was ready to rush downstairs.

I didn’t clean up last night, so there won’t be cockroaches, right?

No wow!
She is afraid too!

I had just come downstairs and hadn’t even washed my face when the door was knocked.

Sheng Jiu hurriedly rubbed his face, tidied himself up, and then went to open the door.

Ares stood at the door wearing a colorful outfit, holding a colorful person in his hands.

Sheng Jiu:?
Oh~
Seeing Sheng Jiu get up, Ares breathed a sigh of relief.

He also knew that it was a little early to knock on the door.

But he didn’t clean up last night!

He wants to get up early and clean up!
After seeing Sheng Jiu, Ares signaled to her: “Please turn on the water, boss. We will deal with it first.”

Sheng Jiu uttered twice and boiled the water quickly.

After waiting for more than half an hour, there was a knock on the door again.

Ares, who had cleaned up, came in carrying Paul.

Boll is now in a coma.

It would be strange if anyone was in good condition after being used as bait for a whole night.

Besides, he is a patient!
Is there anyone who cares? He has a wound half an arm long on his body!

Bastards!
Before he fell into coma, Boll was still cursing.

Unfortunately, it’s useless.

After putting the men aside, Ares began to report the results of that night’s battle into the house.

A cup of exploding lotus seeds.

The green radish ginseng has six roots.

Four large barrels of mutant octopus claws.

A bucket of thorn pepper.

Two barrels of star mushrooms.

Two buckets of unknown wild onions.

As for the last two barrels, Ares was not sure whether Sheng Jiu needed them.

He just happened to see them at that time, and thought since he was already there, he might as well just grab them all.

Seeing Sheng Jiu’s eyes on them, Ares smiled embarrassedly: “I saw they were all green, so I got them together, I don’t know if they will be useful.”

[Interstellar wild onions, no special effects, but taste good, and the wild onions on the deserted planets are almost pollution-free.]

The system explained it in a timely manner, and when Sheng Jiu heard it, he realized that there were even sautéed onions, which was great!

She hurriedly thanked Ares and asked the system to process the ingredients directly. Then she cleaned up the place with Ares.

After cleaning up, Sheng Jiu touched his empty stomach and muttered quietly: “What should I eat in the morning?”
