"How’s it going with your roommates? You all only ntioned it briefly in the group."
Feng Wansha wiped the sweat off her forehead, "It’s just okay, we keep a moderate distance. Their habits are so different from ours. Every day, they kneel sporadically towards the door, saying that it’s according to their planet’s divine schedule, that’s when the god will listen to them."
Li Leilei: "We’re so scared we have to ask if they’ve knelt today before we go back."
"Hahaha, Wu Qingqing actually wanted to open the door during their kneeling session." Feng Wansha gave a knowing smile: "Fortunately, Xing Miao stopped her mischief."
Everyone burst into laughter, but after a while, they all restrained themselves.
One cannot easily shake soone else’s faith. You might not agree with devout people, but you can’t truly make them a laughingstock.
However, it’s fine to curse at sothing like the All-Knowing Sect.
Wu Qingqing’s idea was indeed a bit foolish, daring to challenge divine power.
Those people just indulge in indoor devotion, just kneeling without doing anything else annoying, at least they understand so social etiquette.
But if they were extre believers, they’d place a shrine inside the dorm, chant scriptures, and expect everyone to comply with their rules, not doing anything blasphemous in their presence.
From food to clothing, they’d regint everything about you, which is just absurd.
Feng Wansha and Li Leilei both felt the sa way, it’s already quite good; you can’t exactly ask your roommates to give up their faith.
When the cha was barely fixed, the two were too tired to move.
"Next ti, they’ll have you repair their chas. Practice more; a few professors are coming tomorrow, think about which one you want to follow. You might have to learn from them in the future."
"Can’t it be you?"
"Don’t even think about it, I haven’t graduated yet; I’ll have to go back for exams next sester."
"Caicai, I’m going to miss you so much; can’t you not leave? You go beco an Admiral, and to the stars and sea we go." Li Leilei was reluctant to part after the finals, really couldn’t bear it.
"We will eventually have a day when we part. I hope when you return, you will still be young at heart, don’t lose your dreams."
Li Leilei’s eyes filled with tears. Although she hadn’t known Su Xiaocai for long, she was completely captivated by Su Xiaocai’s charisma, feeling very attached to her. She felt she probably couldn’t do anything well without Su Xiaocai.
"From a crybaby to a better now, truly thank you. I will rember your words."
Though the parting was sowhat premature, Li Leilei wanted to express it first, afraid of forgetting to say it later.
Su Xiaocai watched them leave, standing under the porch, looking at the large piece of land in front of the house.
War is always cruel, they are reluctant to leave her.
She also felt a bit unwilling, if friendship is to last long, how could it hinge only on daily companionship?
So, Su Xiaocai hoped more that the Vegetable Farrs could survive every future war.
To live, that is friendship; if dead, it could only be rembrance and mourning.
...
The mother creature she had killed lay inside a makeshift converted cold storage.
She took out a newly made red cha, an inexplicable sense of crisis swelling in her heart.
Apparently, one cha isn’t enough.
Humans’ fear of the unknown usually stems from lack of firepower.
Su Xiaocai nodded to herself, it was ti to show real skills.
That night, Su Xiaocai continued to stay up, first conducting so research on that cooking oil.
She first placed it into an analyzer to examine its composition.
The spoiled cooking oil had all sorts of things in it. She first separated out the dust, sand, and other large impurities.
Then she took a slightly active mother specin slice to experint.
To see just what effect those cooking oils have.
Inserted into a specialized magnification instrunt, examining the slice structure.
Inside the Insect Man’s tissue, there was no similar animal cell structure; it was very different from normal cells, at least in shape.
When exposed to air, they still acted like predators, being aggressive, continually extending tiny stingers to try and capture nutrients from the air.
But their energy was very small, too small to complete feeding.
The attack was instinctual, could only be considered a feint.
Absorption had to go through other organs and tissues.
With the slice taken, they could only maintain their resilience.
Su Xiaocai dripped a little sample oil onto it.
Sothing magical happened: once the oil touched the slice, the "cells" began to proliferate, but it wasn’t a recovery, rather an indiscriminate proliferation.
Much like cancer.
When the oil disappeared, it continued to proliferate, but the speed clearly slowed down.
Then the activity completely vanished, replaced by a layer of yellow liquid.
Su Xiaocai was stunned, was it really that simple?
No wonder it could trap the Greed; this spoiled cooking oil could actually accelerate recovery speed then deactivate.
