Chapter 400 - Hotpot

Su Ming was typically the sole occupant of the villa.

The housekeeper visited twice a week, and her interactions with Su Ming were minimal.

However, once Su Qiu arrived, the villa seemed to come alive with energy.

That afternoon, Su Ming and Su Qiu enjoyed a movie together, indulging in an array of snacks.

Despite the rabbit being ready for harvest, Su Ming felt no rush to do so.

As evening approached, he took Su Qiu out for a shopping spree, treating her to numerous outfits and pairs of shoes.

They didn't make it back to the villa until around eight or nine in the evening.

Exhausted, Su Qiu was ready to rest.

Su Ming suggested she stay over at the villa, given the abundance of available rooms.

Tired, Su Qiu lay down on the bed and swiftly drifted off to sleep.

With a smile, Su Ming adjusted the air conditioning to the night setting, selecting a cozy temperature before softly closing the door behind him.

He then made his way to the breeding zone.

The rabbit had reached maturity!

The breeding zone was currently the most advanced area in the villa.

Both the control panel and the house had been upgraded to Level Two.

Another upgrade, and Su Ming would have the capability to nurture the progeny of the Three-legged Golden Toad.

The offspring of the Three-legged Golden Toad paled in comparison to the genuine creature. The System had clarified that their lineage was diluted by a factor of ten thousand.

Yet, even a trace of divine beast bloodline was immensely potent.

Su Ming was lost in a sea of dreams and possibilities as he entered the breeding zone.

Upon entry, a potent aroma hit him.

The scent of Sichuan peppercorns was intense.

Curious, Su Ming quickly glanced over to find that the once snow-white rabbits had transformed into walking hotpots.

He rushed over for a closer inspection.

Su Ming glanced at his data panel.

His breeding points had now surpassed one thousand.

He was ready to upgrade his breeding zone.

He could also start raising another group of animals.

With just one more harvest, he could upgrade the control panel to Level Three.

Then, he would have the opportunity to raise a Three-legged Golden Toad.

But for now, Su Ming was focused on enjoying his hotpot.

He carried the hotpot straight to the villa.

He illuminated the entire living room by turning on all the lights.

He then went to the breeding zone and brought back all five boxes.

He took out the ingredients from one of the boxes.

From the remaining four, he removed all the pig brains, a favorite of Su Qiu's.

With the table laden with ingredients, Su Ming concluded there was plenty to enjoy.

Then, holding a glass of milk, he added a Body-stretching Pill to fortify Su Qiu's body and alleviate her fatigue.

He added another drop of the hangover remedy to the milk. In today's society, which still isn't very welcoming to women, it could be quite dangerous for Su Qiu to drink too much. Fortunately, with her ability to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, Su Qiu was much safer.

Hearing footsteps at the door, Su Qiu opened her eyes, unafraid, for it was Su Ming, her brother. They had grown up together.

“Brother?” she asked upon seeing him. “What's up?”

“I've just been in touch with some friends. They've brought us an authentic Sichuan hotpot,” Su Ming said, his smile beaming.

“Really?” Su Qiu's eyes sparkled with excitement. She quickly became alert. “Where's the hotpot?”

“Hold on a second. I tried the hotpot and it's quite spicy. Drink this glass of milk first,” he said, handing her the glass.

Su Ming had chosen not to turn on the light because the milk had taken on a strange color. Su Qiu, unsuspecting, took the milk and drank it down in large gulps. After finishing, she touched her lips thoughtfully.

”Brother, where did you get this milk? It smells amazing.”

”The milk was a gift from a friend. Now, let's go have some hotpot,” Su Ming replied with a smile, leading Su Qiu to the living room.

Su Qiu was delighted. A butter hotpot awaited her, along with a table laden with premium ingredients and a variety of dipping sauces. Perhaps the Body-stretching Pill she had consumed was responsible, but Su Qiu found her appetite had grown. She ate for hours, savoring the food while watching a movie.
