Chapter 31

Dawn. The little yellow chick still chirped and jumped on Zhang Bei’s head, waking him up.

Zhang Bei scratched his head that was now like a chicken’s nest and sighed. He said to the little yellow chick, “If you wake me up so early again, I’ll cook you into chicken mushroom stew.”

The little yellow chick wasn’t afraid. It grabbed Zhang Bei’s head once more, then slowly flew out.

The angry Zhang Bei scratched his head and thought, ‘Am I spoiling it too much?’

Last night, before he went to sleep, he went to the greenhouse and saw many cucumbers and tomatoes with bite marks on them. Zhang Bei immediately thought that it must have been the little yellow chick, so he carried the little yellow chick’s head to the greenhouse and told the little yellow chick that it was only allowed to eat one per day and not take a bite of every single one.

The little yellow chick was angry. It thought that Zhang Bei did not want it to eat the vegetables inside. It pecked the back of Zhang Bei’s hand hard, and soon, a bead of blood appeared on the back of his hand.

Zhang Bei was also angry, so he didn’t give the little yellow chick any instant noodles. Seeing Zhang Bei’s empty kettle, the little yellow chick had felt extremely wronged.

Zhang Bei was about to get up and wash up before continuing to study the mecha blueprint when the detector suddenly emitted a green light.

Eh, it had been a long time since there was a green light. What was it this time? Materials? Zhang Bei thought to himself that it would be good if it could be used to repair the mecha.

Then, he shook his head. Stop dreaming. The materials for mecha repair have to be blue, right?

Zhang Bei immersed his consciousness into the detector.

[Long time no see, Master. How have you been?] It was still the familiar voice.

[700 meters to the northeast. Salt, sugar, and black pepper.]

Zhang Bei scratched his ears in doubt. The detector saw his action and repeated. [700 meters to the northeast. Salt, sugar, and black pepper.]

He thought of the chicken wings, chicken drumsticks, and a series of frozen products in his fridge and was extremely excited. He quickly exited the detector and connected to the asteroid.

He immediately charged towards the northeast. After a few minutes, he arrived at the location indicated by the detector. A box fell in front of him.

Zhang Bei quickly opened the box and was extremely excited when he saw the large jars of salt, sugar, and black pepper. He quickly put them in the tent and took out a bag of chicken wings and a bag of fries from the fridge, placing them under the sun to wait for them to thaw.

While waiting for them to thaw, he opened the world channel to see how everyone was doing.

As soon as he opened the world channel, he saw that the cosmologist was still talking in the group chat. He had observed the activity in the star system today and found no abnormalities. It was a safe day again. He hoped that everyone was safe.

The people below were all thanking him for his work everyday. Thank you. It’s been hard on you again today. Do you still have water? I’ll give you a bottle. After all, it hasn’t been easy for you.

The cosmologist: “Don’t worry, don’t worry. I still have food and drinks. Don’t worry, as long as I live, I will provide everyone with hope.”

“Sigh. I’ve been eating a piece of dry bread for three days. Who knows when I’ll starve to death.”

“I don’t have water, and I am really close to the sun. The amount of sweat I sweat every day is much more than the amount of water I drink. I’m really afraid that I’ll be dried up by the sun one day.”

“I’m really cold. I’m still wearing a short-sleeved shirt. I’m really shivering from the cold every day. Fortunately, I can lick the ice to quench my thirst, but licking the ice in this cold weather is really painful.”

Many people were complaining on the world channel. Zhang Bei looked at the chicken wings and fries he was thawing outside. He wondered if he should use this thing to make a trade with them when it was ready. They had not eaten for so long, they definitely would want to eat something hot and fragrant.

Zhang Bei turned off the world channel and chuckled.

The fries and chicken wings thawed under the sun. Zhang Bei walked over. They had turned soft.

He tore open the packaging and poured the chicken wings and fries into different pots.

He then brought some dried thorny brambles over and took out the flame stick to light the brambles. After that, he used two iron rods to make a stand.

Zhang Bei first placed the pot on the fire, then placed the chicken wings on the pot.

When he placed the chicken skin on the pot, a sizzling sound was heard. Soon, he smelled the fragrance of chicken.

Zhang Bei looked at the golden chicken skin and swallowed. Then he turned the chicken wings over and sprinkled salt and pepper on them.

The moment the salt and pepper were sprinkled, the fragrance became stronger.

Zhang Bei swallowed hard and looked at the chicken wings in the pot.

When it was about time, he took a chicken wing and stuffed it into his mouth.

He stuffed an entire chicken wing into his mouth and chewed hard.

Tears flowed down his face as he chewed on the chicken wings.

The chicken wings were not exactly delicious. In fact, they even had a little fishy smell. However, for people who worked hard to survive in space, this was already a very, very rare delicacy.

One after another, Zhang Bei frantically stuffed chicken wings into his mouth.

After eating about ten chicken wings, he burped and slowly swayed to the tent before lying on the bed.

Ah, the best thing in the world was lying in bed after eating.

Zhang Bei picked his teeth on the bed and opened the Exchange Platform. He had about ten chicken wings left and wanted to see if there was anything he wanted in the Exchange Platform.

After browsing the Exchange Platform for a while, Zhang Bei did not find what he was looking for. Just as he was about to drop the matter, he saw a post about trading a bag of seeds.

He sent a message to ask the seller what kind of seed it was.

The other party: “I don’t know what kind of seed it is. But this seed is very hard and very big. It looks like a macadamia nut, so I’m not sure what kind of seed it is.”

Zhang Bei thought for a long time but could not think of anything like this. Therefore, he asked the other party, “What is the price?”

The other party quickly said that they could make the trade. “I won’t cheat you. Just two days of food will do.”

Zhang Bei thought about it. “Two days is too much. How about this, do you want two grilled chicken wings?”

“You have grilled chicken wings?” The other party was extremely puzzled, expressing extreme disbelief.

“It’s up to you to believe it or not,” Zhang Bei replied. “If you believe me, I will exchange two chicken wings for this bag of seeds. Anyway, you don’t know how to grow them, so it’s not a loss to you.”

The other party thought for a moment and said, “Sure, but I want three chicken wings.”

Zhang Bei thought for a moment and agreed. Then, the two sides made the deal..
