Scientific Travel

Dog Egg tried to argue one more time, "Given our relationship, can't we even have something to eat?"

Dog Egg feigned pitifulness, his expression full of grievance.

"Yes," Deng Yin said understandingly. "But don't worry, you'll starve to death if you don't eat now, and I can't just stand by and watch you starve. I'll give you two potatoes and a cabbage every day. You can have cabbage and potatoes for one meal, so you don't get tired of the same thing."

“Oh, right,” Deng Yin added, “I can also lend you the pot. Just remember to wash it after you’re done.”

Dog Egg looked like a frostbitten eggplant, all wilted.

"Are you really going to be so harsh on me? Didn't we agree that we'd get along well and work together from now on?"

Faced with Gou Dan bringing up old grievances, Deng Yin remained unfazed:

"Is this considered harsh? You can ask around and see which system gets to eat food provided by its host every day like you do?"

It would be hard to find another system as stupid as this one besides his.

Deng Yin wasn't afraid that Gou Dan would make up stories for her. Although he was shameless, he wasn't that shameless.

Otherwise, she would have started making things up as soon as she first started talking about him, instead of waiting until now.

"you......."

As expected, Gou Dan talked for a long time but couldn't come up with a rebuttal.

Seeing that he was silent, Deng Yin delivered the final blow: "Don't even think about sneaking some. I keep track of everything. Even if two strawberries are missing, I'll find out."

Actually, Deng Yin's words were somewhat unnecessary. Given Gou Dan's system quality, he wouldn't do something like stealing his host's food.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Rather than having to eat only cabbage and potatoes from now on, Gou Dan chose to apologize without hesitation.

"What I said before was all my fault, but you have to believe me. My intention was not to say anything bad about you, it was purely for popular science purposes."

Deng Yin: "Popular science, right?"

Dog Egg nodded and said, "That's right, it really wasn't my intention to make you angry."

Deng Yin seemed to have calmed down and said with a smile, "Alright, since you love popular science so much, then please explain to me why you're so weak, and why you were stunned for three days after being electrocuted? Is it considered dereliction of duty if something like this happens at work? If it is, what kind of punishment will there be? If it isn't, then is secretly replacing the host's one-point product considered dereliction of duty?"

Dog Egg was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Deng Yin's smiling expression suddenly turned cold. "I was just kidding."

Dog Egg: "......."

Gou Dan bared his teeth, trying to get away with it, but as soon as he showed them, Deng Yin slapped them back.

"You dare laugh! I knew there were ice cream ingredients in the product. So you added them yourself because you thought mine wasn't good enough? You used my points to buy what you wanted? Have you no shame!"

"Doing such petty theft is one thing, but you don't even know how to stop. What, is my food so bad that you couldn't stand it for a month? You just won the ice cream machine, and now you're changing the ice cream ingredients for me?"

Dog Egg couldn't refute it, so he lowered his head, looking like he was humbly accepting instruction.

Once that was opened up, Deng Yin's thinking suddenly became clear.

This kid seems so guilty; he probably exchanged more than just this one.

"You didn't set up my ice cream machine too, did you?!"

Gou Dan remained silent, only keeping his head down.

really!

"You're really something, kid. Did you tamper with the egg beater and that broken rock too?"

"That's really not me." Dog Egg immediately snapped when he was wrongly accused. "I wasn't even human when you were whipping the egg beater. Even if you managed to whip it, I couldn't eat it, so how could it be me?"

It appears to be a clarification, but it is actually a confession.

"You did that broken rock, didn't you?"

When he hit the nail on the head, Gou Dan muted his microphone again.

! ! ! ! ! !

Deng Yin could tolerate the ice cream machine and ice cream ingredients, at least she could use them, but giving her that broken rock was just too much!

Seeing that Deng Yin was getting angrier and angrier, Gou Dan quickly tried to soothe him, saying, "That's not a broken stone, it's a beautiful stone."

"What's the use?" Deng Yin asked. "Would it look better if I used it to smash your head?"

Deng Yin had a precedent to learn from; she was absolutely capable of anything. Gou Dan shook his head vigorously.

If I don't point out my strengths now, she might actually take action.

Dog Egg quickly said, "That's not an ordinary stone. The liquid inside can strengthen your body after you drink it. After you drink it, you can lift a chess bull with one hand and it can also increase your lifespan." Dog Egg boasted, "I spent a lot of energy to get it."

Gou Dan didn't mention the purpose of that stone back then, just to wait for an opportunity like this.

Deng Yin's temper is unpredictable, and she might anger you at any time. So Gou Dan prepared a get-out-of-jail-free card for himself, ensuring that one strike would completely quell Deng Yin's anger.

Contrary to expectations, Deng Yin did not show any happiness after hearing this; instead, his expression became increasingly unpleasant.

Women’s affair?

Overwhelmed with excitement?

Dog Egg waved his hand dismissively, saying, "No need to thank me. I've already eaten so much of your food, I can't just eat it for nothing. Our system is all about repaying kindness."

"Repay?" Deng Yin pulled out a stun gun. Dog Egg's skin was thick; hitting him might not hurt him, and would only hurt himself. This was more effective.

If he can't be knocked out, he can stay unconscious for another three days; Deng Yin can afford to wait.

"Wait." Gou Dan quickly stepped back, his face full of vigilance. "What are you doing? There's no need to act like this to repay a debt of gratitude."

Deng remained silent, only continuing to approach.

"Don't come any closer, or I'll fight back."

Deng remained silent, only continuing to approach.

"I'm telling the truth. Don't underestimate me. I have power now. If you come any closer and get hurt, I won't be responsible!"

Dog Egg's words were firm, and if he stopped backing down, he would be even more so.

"I was wrong!"

Gou Dan pronounced those three words clearly and forcefully, and he even knelt down.

Humans usually kneel when they apologize, but Gou Dan isn't human, so he naturally can't feel the shame involved.

He just thought it was a way of apologizing.

If he were asked to apologize by sending energy, like the system does, he would feel ashamed.

Besides shame, there will also be heartache and regret.

Although Deng Yin is human, she is not from this planet and does not understand this way of apologizing.

On Heze Star, there are many ways to apologize, but each one is practical: either giving money or gifts. No one ever apologizes by kneeling.
