Chapter 149 Puppet Theater

The color looks off? Could it be spoiled?!

Lin Yun hurriedly checked the corn in the basket next to Chang Chun Teng, completely unaware that Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan had already nervously slipped into the house.

She picked up an ear of corn and peeled off the husk.

Hmm, this color... it did seem a bit off. Why was it green?

[Grape corn: tastes like grapes.]

"?" Lin Yun thought back carefully. From the time she returned to the shelter yesterday to the time she left this morning, she didn’t seem to have spoken to the mutated corn.

She peeled two ears of corn, one red and one somewhat black.

[Watermelon and Corn: Watermelon flavor.]

[Chocolate Corn: Chocolate flavor.]

"???"

[That... it was Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan who did it.] Ghost Vine said weakly, reporting the two who had already run away.

"..." Lin Yun fell silent again.

Under the bed.

"Sang Biao, you won’t hit us, will you?" Tuan Tuan huddled together with Sang Biao, a little scared.

Today, the two of them had been so engrossed in the smell of the chili peppers that they had completely forgotten about the corn.

A few days ago, when Lin Yun went out again, the two of them had wanted to try other flavors of corn. So, when Ghost Vine wasn’t paying attention, they told the mutant corn to make them.

Because the two of them always ate corn, and Lin Yun ate with them, they had never been discovered.

Who knew they would forget about it today?

They both felt a little guilty.

"Probably not?"

Sang Biao’s airplane ears had already appeared. It remembered what its previous owner had said: cats couldn’t eat chocolate, or they would die.

But it still wanted to try it...

"Sang Biao! Tuan Tuan! Come out and stand in the corner as punishment!"

Lin Yun didn’t even turn her head, continuing to peel off the remaining corn leaves. It was unclear how long the two of them had been doing this.

It’s not that you can’t do that, but these two even added a chocolate flavor, is that right?

Can felines eat chocolate? No, they can’t.

Although they’re essentially still corn, we can’t leave these two alone; what if they eat real chocolate next time?

Lin Yun looked back again and thought, "Good, good, he’s been behaving himself."

"Just eat corn, why make it chocolate flavored? Tuan Tuan might not know, but you know, Sang Biao?"

"The cat was wrong..." Sang Biao obediently lowered his head.

Tuan Tuan stood to one side, looking honest and unassuming.

Lin Yun stared at the colors for a while, trying to understand when the corn had changed. She had not expected to find so unusual flavors waiting in the basket. The discovery was strange, but learning that Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan had secretly asked the mutant corn to change its flavor left her speechless.

She was not angry about wanting to try flavors. What concerned her was the chocolate flavor. Sang Biao knew that chocolate was dangerous for cats, yet he had wanted to try it. That was why Lin Yun had to make the warning. Even if these were still corn, she could not let the two develop a habit of trying dangerous foods.

After leaving a few mutated plants, Lin Yun added the rest to the list.

The contract register could store the fruit produced by mutant species; it’s truly a great invention!

[Shall we make some purchases, dear host?]

"If you give me a discount, I’ll buy it."

[10% off.]

"Okay! We’ll expand the backyard by 5 square meters."

[Oh dear, my dear host, you are truly beautiful inside and out, and incredibly generous.]

[225 points have been deducted. Because the mutated rose is climbing the fence, the system has used a special privilege for you. The expansion will be completed shortly.]

Lin Yun clicked her tongue twice more. "Sure enough, money makes you God."

[Of course, you’re the boss now, you call the shots.]

Lin Yun wasn’t paying attention to the expansion project; she picked up two animals and went inside.

"Do you two want to eat it raw, or steam it first?"

Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan exchanged a glance and immediately blurted out, "Steam it!"

They had been eating raw corn for days now. Although it was tasty, steamed corn tasted even better.

"Okay, just wait."

Ghost Vine returned from its mischief on the Star Tea Tree. When it came in and heard that they were going to prepare corn, it immediately shouted that it wanted some too.

Lin Yun divided the chocolate-flavored corn into three portions, one for each ear, so she wouldn’t miss it again.

She took out the contract list again; she needed to look through it to find a few stems of the mutated roses to take to Lily of the Valley tomorrow.

It took her half an hour to wrap the flowers, and when she looked up, she saw the three of them eating corn.

"You two felines, it’s fine to eat, but you can’t eat chocolate flavored food anymore, or you’ll eat yourselves to death."

The two felines shrank back, not daring to utter a sound.

Lin Yun didn’t plant any new vegetables in the extra space in the backyard; she planned to gradually turn all the vegetables she had into mutated varieties.

In this way, there’s no need to replant.

After moving the vegetables that were crowded together, she handed them over to Ghost Vine.

After dealing with the corn, Lin Yun returned her attention to the plants and the work that needed to be done. The space would make the crowded backyard easier to manage, while the contract list would help her keep track of the mutated plants and their produce.

She had just come out of the bathroom and hadn’t even had a chance to take her clothes to the backyard to hang them up when she heard a loud noise coming from outside the door.

It was the sound of fireworks.

She put the basin aside and ran to the window to look outside.

Several fireworks did indeed explode above the amusement park, which was quite beautiful.

The fireworks seemed to have some patterns, but Lin Yun couldn’t make out what those patterns were.0

Didi.

Song Xizheng: "Sister Lin, there’s another parade of floats today. I feel like the sky has fallen."

Song Xizheng: "And it’s already started! It wasn’t even this early yesterday!"

Lin Yun glanced at the time on the panel again; it was only a little past eight, which was indeed a bit early.0

Or was it that the parade didn’t have a fixed schedule?

Lin Yun asked again, "Are they the same as yesterday?"

Song Xizheng: "Hmm... the process is the same, but today it seems like it’s to celebrate something, and there are fewer people today."

Song Xizheng: "I think it was probably seen by nearby survivors last night, which made everyone more cautious and vigilant today."

Lin Yun stroked her chin again and looked up at the sky; the fireworks were still going on.

She stared intently at the fireworks; the patterns on them seemed to be a little person. What did that mean?

News from Song Xizheng came again.0

Song Xizheng: "It seems like they’re celebrating the completion of the puppet theater; they’ll open for business at 10 a.m."

Lin Yun said, "Is that right? We’ll all be back at the shelter by 10 o’clock. Who are we going to show our business to at 10 o’clock? The tourists are just going to go in by themselves?"

Song Xizheng: "I don’t understand. Let me take another look."

Song Xizheng fell silent; he went to observe from the window.

Lin Yun sighed again. It seemed she would have to rely on Song Xizheng. Her mushroom house was in a corner, so it would be quite difficult for her to find out what was happening nearby.

Unable to see the scene on Song Xizheng’s side, Lin Yun simply went back to hanging up the clothes.0

After turning around, she dragged a chair over and sat by the window.

While browsing the mission center, she also kept an eye on what was happening outside.

The noise from the surrounding tourists gradually subsided, probably drawn away by the fireworks in the sky.0

Task Center.

Daily Task: Enter the haunted house once and successfully pass through it. (Completed)

Task reward: 30 points.

Upon entering the task center, this completed daily task was immediately displayed at the top.

"System, the personal panel has been updated again?"

[Yes, it’s been updated again. From now on, regardless of whether you’ve accepted the task or scrolled down, once you complete it, it will automatically move to the top.]

[However, this only applies to special worlds.]

"I’m taking back a compliment I was just about to say to you."

[Hehe~ It’s a special world, you know, so try to understand.]
