The cub sat at a table, his bun-like face was very serious and his lips were pursed in a straight line.

The stone table was filled with food. The grilled meat slices, set against the backdrop of large green leaves, looked mouthwatering, with red and red fruits dotted around them.

Tao Shushu became even hungrier as she poked the fruit with her fingers, which at a glance, seemed both sour and sweet.

A few prompts appeared on the screen:

[Congratulations to your cub for independently obtaining three energy balls.]

[Congratulations to your cub for finding the companion plant of blood-eating grass—Bloodflower X2.]

[Congratulations to your cub for discovering a cave where he found some machinery. It seems that someone lived here before, but now every corner is covered in spider silk.]

[Your cub found a map in the cave.]

[Your cub has checked the cave, and it’s suitable for an overnight stay.]

[Your cub hunted a mutant rabbit and picked many wild fruits, but he was slightly injured.]

[He returned to the cave and placed the food on the table.]

[He waited for a while and finished grilling the meat.]

[He brought the meat to the table and cut it into pieces.]

[He arranged the plate.]

[He adjusted the layout.]

[He adjusted it again.]

[He looked towards the entrance of the cave.]

[He lowered his head in disappointment.]

[The meat has cooled down; he grilled some again and replaced the cooled meat.]

[He grilled it again.]

[This is his third barbecue.]

Tao Shushu was stunned when she saw the end.

The round little fruit on the cub’s table was poked, and it rolled forward.

The cub immediately looked ahead with a burning gaze.

Tao Shushu paused. Was the cub waiting to eat with her?

The perspective of the screen was facing the cub, and Tao Shushu could clearly see the expression on the cub’s face and a bunch of exclamation marks popping up from his head.

Tao Shushu tentatively pushed the fruit on the table again, and the cub suddenly stood up and pushed the meat towards the opposite side.

So, was the cub really waiting for her?

Tao Shushu suddenly felt a sense of relief; it was like her son had grown up and learned how to be filial to his mother.

She pushed the meat towards the cub, gesturing for him to eat.

The cub sat still.

Tao Shushu patted the cub’s round face and forcefully placed all the meat in front of him, then she struggled to grab a piece of meat and brought it to the cub’s mouth.

Watching the cub take the meat and eat it, Tao Shushu clapped in satisfaction.

Then, she busily scavenged the meat that had already been roasted by her cub, preparing to reheat it for him to eat.

The light on the screen was very dim, Tao Shushu quickly realized that it was already dark on the other side of the cub.

When helping the cub burn the blood grass, the sun was at its strongest, probably at noon, and now it was already dark. That meant the cub hungrily waited for several hours to eat with her.

Tao Shushu’s heart was filled with sourness. How could the cub be so sensible? There was obviously so much meat, it was okay for him to eat it first.

But he stubbornly waited for so long.

But she didn’t seem to dislike this feeling.

Nan Yuan ate while looking towards the bonfire. His face couldn’t help but turn red again.

That person seemed to be able to see through everything; even the meat he deliberately hid at the beginning was found and heated over the fire.

He still couldn’t see the figure of that person and didn’t know their identity.

However, he was willing to believe that that person wouldn’t harm him.

Nan Yuan ate somewhat urgently.

He hadn’t had a good meal for a long time.

He always had to remain vigilant, guarding against mutated plants and animals. Only when the solar radiation was strongest could he barely find a place to rest.

But today, because of the insulation suit given by that person, he was able to find a place to live while mutated animals and plants were avoiding solar radiation, and he even found a cave.

Nan Yuan was eating when suddenly a bright red fruit was handed to him.

Nan Yuan paused, took the fruit, and whispered, “Thank you.”

Tao Shushu watched as her little cub obediently took the fruit, and her heart became even more filled with maternal love. The cub was really obedient.

Judging from the young cub’s aesthetic sense of arranging dishes and the hurried yet elegant eating movements, it seemed that the cub used to be a well-mannered, wealthy young master, but now that the apocalypse had arrived, he had to suffer on a desolate planet.

Tao Shushu couldn’t help rubbing the cub’s head and caught a glimpse of the cub’s face turning red.

Tao Shushu suddenly became nervous. Could it be that he was feeling unwell? The prompt indicated that the cub had suffered minor injuries.

Tao Shushu touched the cub’s forehead with her fingertips through the screen, but of course, she couldn’t feel his temperature.

She clicked on the cub’s health points. It was originally 63, which dropped to 55 during his hunting and exploring and increased to 60 as he ate.

The system didn’t indicate illness, so she had to wait until after dinner to check again.

Tao Shushu watched the cub eat with great interest.

Coincidentally, her parents had also arrived. Tao Shushu greeted her parents, and they had lunch together.

She placed her phone on the table; it was like she was eating with her cub, which made the food taste even better.

Tao Shushu, who was focused on eating, didn’t see that Nan Yuan’s expression changed again and again. He reached out, rubbed his ears, and pretended not to care as he asked, “Can you please not rub my face like that?”

Without receiving a response, Nan Yuan’s heart sank as he stuttered and explained, “What I mean is, can it not be too sudden?”

Nan Yuan sat quietly at the dining table as he wondered what that person was thinking. They must be very powerful, perhaps they treated him so well because he was the only human on the barren planet. Did his words anger them?

If it was just touching his head, it wasn’t impossible. Although he always felt like the mysterious person was treating him like a child.

After taking the exam all morning and being tempted by her cub’s delicious food, Tao Shushu ate an extra half a bowl of rice.

Mother Tao asked, “Shushu, are you still feeling unwell? Don’t take the test this afternoon. Let’s go to the hospital.”

Tao Shushu shook her head and gently responded, “I’m not feeling uncomfortable; I just missed you guys.”

“You should still get checked out; we’ll go on Saturday.” Father Tao interjected.

Tao Shushu took her parents’ hands: “I’m fine; I just missed you guys, and I had a feeling that the contract you wanted to sign today wasn’t quite right, so I just wanted to check up on you.”

Usually, Tao Shushu often came up with a few business ideas, so her parents always listened to her opinions, “As Shu Shu said, it really isn’t right.”

“Yes, when we got the call this morning, your mom and I suddenly couldn’t think of anything else. All we could think about was signing the contract.”

“We seemed to have lost our minds at the time. We didn’t even consider how an order worth hundreds of millions of yuan could be so urgent. The other party didn’t even allow us to bring a lawyer.”

Her parents came to a unanimous conclusion: they were immediately brainwashed upon receiving the phone call.

Tao Shushu comforted her parents, “Mom and Dad, how can you be so superstitious?”

Father and Mother Tao were both scared for a moment. “Fortunately, Shu Shu called us and helped us regain our sanity.”

“No one will try to cheat you anymore.” Tao Shushu snapped her fingers, her eyes grim. She had to deal with this heroine who gained wealth through cheating.

Tao Shushu looked at her watch and realized that it was getting late. There was an English exam in the afternoon; she had to go see whose English scores Su Momo had stolen this time.

Tao Shushu grabbed her bag: “Mom, Dad, I’m going back to school. Please pay attention to your safety.”

As soon as Tao Shushu left, her parents quietly discussed, “No matter what, we can’t be deceived so easily and let our daughter worry about us. We can’t burden our daughter.”

Father and Mother Tao had also been working in the business industry for many years and had a certain network of contacts. They immediately decided to teach the company a lesson.

Tao Shushu returned to the classroom but she didn’t see Su Momo.

Her friend Li Anyu shouted from a distance, “Shu Shu, you’re back.”

Li Anyu ran up to Tao Shushu: “Shushu, the return banquet for the daughter of the Su family is on Sunday. Shall we go buy a beautiful dress together?”

“I heard that the daughter of the Su family just transferred to our school this morning. After taking the chemistry exam, she ran away crying. I don’t know if the banquet can still be held, but buying new clothes doesn’t require a reason,” Li Anyu quietly added.

Tao Shushu hugged Li Anyu tightly; in the plot of the heroine, the Tao family was used as cannon fodder, while Li Anyu was brutally slapped in the face for helping her fight the heroine.

“Okay, “Tao Shushu said. How could she not surprise the heroine on such an occasion?

After talking for a while, Tao Shushu took her mobile phone, found a corner where she could see the school gate, and blocked the heroine’s path and continued playing the game.

The cub had already eaten and tidied up the cave neatly.

He spread some dry grass beside the bonfire to create a place to rest.

There was a pile of red fruits next to the hay, just the kind that Tao Shushu liked as soon as she saw them. There were still water droplets hanging on the fruit, indicating that the cub had carefully cleaned them.

This could be considered a gift from her cub to his “mother.”. Although she couldn’t eat it, Tao Shushu happily took a screenshot as a souvenir.

And the cub was setting up a trap at the door to prevent wild beasts.

Tao Shushu stared at the cub as he stretched out his short legs and dug the ground with a grunt. Seeing that the cub was moving the large rock that was blocking the entrance to the cave, Tao Shushu also reached out her hand to help the cub reduce the weight.

“Are you here?” Nan Yuan asked.

Just now, he couldn’t get a response no matter how much he tried, so Nan Yuan had to accept the fact that the mysterious person had already left.

But now, he was absolutely certain that the mysterious person had appeared again.

Tao Shushu saw clearly this time, behind the exclamation mark on the cub’s head, a row of ********* numbers followed, as if it were a large encrypted scene.

Tao Shushu tapped at the number ********* in this row.

[Do you want to know what the cub said to you? The voice pack is on a limited-time special offer of 1000 gold coins. Would you like to purchase it now?]

Tao Shushu expressionlessly declined. She only had three gold coins left, and the damn system couldn’t recharge yet.

The currency system was also different. Tao Shushu didn’t know how to earn gold coins.

Whatever one thought would come true.

Jumping on the screen, a task flashed: [Main quest 2, Full Moon Night, Beast Tide Uprising. Please help the cub find a base that can resist the Beast Tide before the next full moon arrives. Task reward: 500 gold coins, spaceship X1, Advanced Awakening Card X1.]

Tasks with more rewards also represented greater difficulty. Tao Shushu closed the task and scolded the system for not being able to recharge.

[Player, I cannot solve the problem of the cosmic currency system, but it can be recharged through energy conversion.]

[Oh?] Tao Shushu asked.

A document popped up on the phone screen, an agreement that most people would blindly agree to when registering for software.

The system was still typing: [Simply put, the female protagonist’s system can absorb energy from her own plane, because her system is a god-learning system, so correspondingly, as long as you study hard, you can also obtain a certain amount of energy, which you can recharge and exchange for a consciousness card.]

System Reminder: “The player’s consciousness card has only two hours left.”

Tao Shushu retrieved the agreement from the album; [But how come I saw in the “Explanation of the Foreign System in the Plane” that as long as I, as the target of the plunder, am more studious than the heroine, I can destroy the heroine’s system?]

[This morning I made Su Momo fail the chemistry test. She won’t have the aura of a protagonist for 24 hours.] Tao Shushu thought to herself, no wonder her parents returned to normal after the test.

The system was silent for a while. [The agreement text was so small; how did you read it all?]

[Because I took a screenshot,] Tao Shushu said as she enlarged the picture.
