Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 53 The Magical Mermaid Veil

"Shi Qing, you've eaten so much, yet your stomach doesn't even look bulging." Long Yangyang looked at Shi Qing, who seemed to want more, and couldn't understand how the tall and thin Shi Qing could finish a meal that was almost as tall as him.

"These foods are low in energy, I can finish them no matter how much there is." Shi Qing savored the aroma of the food in his mouth and thought that making a contract with someone was pretty good. Now he found Yun Cangshu and the other two weak little shrimps very pleasing to the eye. Not bad, for the sake of the food, he could barely protect them.

"Moreover, a divine beast like me can satisfy its own needs by focusing on cultivation, and it doesn't even need to eat." These ordinary meals are just for tasting.

"Shall we continue tomorrow?" After just one meal, Shi Qing had completely fallen in love with human cuisine. He felt that although he had some bad impressions of humans from his inherited memories, these delicious dishes alone could change his prejudices against the human race.

Thinking about the other person's appetite, Long Yangyang couldn't help but complain, "Since you don't need to eat, why eat so much? We need to store some in case of emergency. Just eat less tomorrow and have a taste."

After learning from Shi Qing that he and Yin Zhu didn't need to eat food every day, Long Yangyang directly reduced their meals and instead gave them more than two thousand crystal cores.

The shark and the snake instantly felt they were being severely neglected. What happened to the promised all-you-can-eat meal? They wanted to protest and defend their right to choose their own food.

Do crystal cores smell as good as delicious food? Even purified crystal cores won't do.

Long Yangyang, worn down by the mermaid and snake, finally agreed to provide them with meals equivalent to human portions each day. If they wanted to continue eating, they could provide their own ingredients. Yun Cangshu and Bai Zhi could help with the cooking, or they could learn culinary skills directly from the two of them.

She simply couldn't afford to feed these two big eaters. Besides, her cooking skills were limited, and she couldn't bear to have Fu Muyu cook for them.

"Yangyang, what are we eating today?"

Long Yangyang looked at the mermaid and snake that had come close to her again and really wanted to roll her eyes. It had been days, and the first thing they said to her every day was this. They hadn't said enough, and she was tired of hearing it.

Long Yangyang casually took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "It's so hot, can't you eat less? Don't you know it's even hotter cooking in the kitchen?"

"Hiss—" Silver Candle flicked its tongue and tilted its head, clearly not understanding why the other was hot; it felt perfectly fine.

"What I'm wearing is mermaid gauze, which is impervious to water and fire, swords and spears, and spotless. It doesn't need washing, and it adjusts to the appropriate temperature based on your body temperature. Feeling hot? That's impossible." After saying that, Shi Qing even turned around to show Long Yangyang his mermaid gauze from all angles.

Long Yangyang seemed to sense the other person's grand Versailles-like atmosphere. Damn it, she was so envious and wanted it so badly. "Can I trade with you? With Miao Miao's rose dew?"

Miao Miao's rose dew is an excellent beauty product. Shi Qing, the vain mermaid, discovered the wonderful beauty effects of Miao Miao's rose dew and kept asking Long Yangyang for it.

However, when Long Yangyang suggested that a bottle of rose syrup could replace three dishes, the other party refused without hesitation. Long Yangyang couldn't help but mentally criticize the other party as a seasoned foodie.

“No problem.” Shi Qing took out three bolts of silver-white mermaid silk from his spatial ring and stuffed them into Long Yangyang’s arms. “Here are the mermaid silk. In return, you give me three bottles of rose dew.”

Long Yangyang was in a good mood after receiving the mermaid silk, and she found the two big eaters much more agreeable. "Not bad, you can eat an extra plate of food today."

After saying that, she took the mermaid yarn back to her room and enthusiastically studied how to make clothes from it. Soon, Long Yangyang was dumbfounded when she pulled on the silvery-white mermaid yarn. It was so strong that scissors couldn't cut it at all. Long Yangyang tried a Swiss Army knife, but that didn't work. She even tried a chainsaw, but that didn't work either.

If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, Long Yangyang simply takes out a machine gun from her spatial storage and fires two shots. Looking at the intact Jiao Sha, Long Yangyang gives up completely.

"Yangyang, what happened?" Hearing the gunshot, the person preparing food in the kitchen quickly put down the ingredients and rushed to Long Yangyang's room, thinking something had happened.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to make some clothes, but I just can't break the silk gauze," Long Yangyang explained.

Looking at the scissors, knives, and even a chainsaw scattered all over the floor, and then at the intact silk gauze on the bed, Fu Muyu thought of a crucial question, "Yangyang, can you sew clothes?"

Long Yangyang was struck dumb: ...She forgot, she wouldn't.

Fu Muyu patted Long Yangyang's cheek, took a few steps with his long legs to the bedside, picked up the mermaid silk on the bed and returned it to Shi Qing: "You can help make clothes out of this mermaid silk. From now on, whenever you cook on the cruise ship, you can have three more dishes."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qing's eyes lit up, and a wide smile spread across her androgynous face: "No problem, boss, leave it to me, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Oh dear, it's just making clothes, and I can eat three more dishes every day, how wonderful!

The naive little mermaid completely overlooked the fact that Fu Muyu was confined to the cruise ship, and that he had not guaranteed to cook for her every day.

The next day, everyone received Shi Qing's silk outfits: Yun Cangshu received a silver-white tracksuit, elegant and sophisticated; Bai Zhi received a well-tailored silver-white suit, cool and stylish; Qiu Ling received a silver-white sweatshirt with blue cargo pants; Fu Muyu received a silver-gray shirt with silver patterns with black casual pants, understated yet luxurious; Long Yangyang received a silver-white A-line skirt with puff sleeves, elegant and sophisticated; and even Yin Zhu received a silver hat.

Before the first time, he even gave Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu each a silver-white embroidered fairy dress and a retro robe, clearly knowing who his benefactors were.

"Your mermaid gauze comes in other colors?" Long Yangyang asked curiously, looking at Fu Muyu and Qiu Ling's black pants.

“There are special seaweeds for dyeing.” Shi Qing took out several seaweeds that Long Yangyang and the others had never seen before and placed them on the table. “I don’t have many in my collection, so I can’t dye all the clothes.”

Long Yangyang picked up a small water plant and placed it in front of her. The water plant was small and looked a lot like the orchid grass before the apocalypse. After finding that the roots of the water plant were intact, Long Yangyang used her wood-type ability to try to promote its growth and actually harvested a new water plant.

"What do you plan to do with the remaining mermaid gauze?" Shi Qing had only used one bolt of mermaid gauze after making clothes for everyone, and the second bolt was not even a third of its original length.

"Then please make a few more clothes for us, for my family and Brother Fu's family, six people in total, four men and two women. Do you have any other relatives who need clothes?" Long Yangyang asked, looking up.

Qiu Ling shook his head. His family had died long ago at the Rose Hotel. Bai Zhi was an orphan with no relatives. Yun Cangshu thought of his own parents, who were worse off than nonexistent, and shook his head.

Fu Muyu and Long Yangyang did not miss the strange expression on Yun Cangshu's face when he mentioned his family, but they did not ask. Yun Cangshu had never mentioned his family to them before, so they assumed they did not have a good relationship.
