While deep in thought, the Old Turtle slowly emerged from the sea, a white light flashed in the sky, and Nancy flew over too!
Chun decided to hold a conference right here: "Everyone's here, great! I want to discuss something big here..."
So he explained the plan to bury the Old Turtle under the island, with the task of supporting the entire Evil Spirit City.
The Old Turtle was quite pleased: "Seeing the atmosphere of this island, I feel a strong sense of belonging. I'm more than willing!"
Nancy had no objections either: "Actually, I've been troubled by the day-night cycle changes. Perhaps this approach is the best, but the amount of work is surely enormous. Even if all the island's citizens act, it would be hard to finish in a short period, right?"
The Old Turtle said, "Leave the excavation to me."
Though the Old Turtle's limbs weren't very agile, Chun completely believed it could manage: "It would be best if we finish before dawn, can you do it?"
The Old Turtle was confident: "Actually, it won't take that long, but since I've been given so much time, I'll try to dig more precisely."
Great! Chun then brought up his concern about unloading the cargo.
The Siren laughed: "I don't mind."
Aziza said, "Your concerns are valid. On the surface, the five star mages of the Main City are cultural ambassadors for the Golden Empire, but behind the scenes, for reasons unknown to many, it's best if fewer people know the big secret about my grandfather."
Nancy said, "In that case, let's wait until the Turtle God buries himself, then unload the cargo on the beach."
The Siren laughed: "I mentioned earlier, to ensure this mission, I'm willing to let the Turtle God take on the role of Guardian God!"
Chun was anxious: "No, no! Try not to let Fafnir know about the Turtle God's existence either."
Nancy also said, "Siren sister, the citizens have already built a shrine and statue for you, you can't give up the position of Guardian God."
The Siren instantly got enthusiastic: "Alright then, I'll just park my ship here, Bai, look after the ship, I'm flying to the island!"
The Turtle God said, "Then I'll start moving! I'll find a suitable entry point first."
Chun, aboard Aziza's ship, was cautious about triggering any alerts and didn't dare approach port: "Aziza, shall we follow the Turtle God then?"
"Sure."
But the next moment, a disgruntled shout came from the trade channel from the Siren: "Ahhhh!! Is this supposed to be me?"
Chun remembered the statue was commissioned to Pinocchio the Puppet Master: "Doesn't look like you?"
The Siren was distressed: "Not at all! Nancy, little sister, give me an explanation!"
Nancy sighed: "Pinocchio couldn't remember sister's exact appearance, so he made me a model. He mixed a batch of mud in a box, had me lie in it, closed the box to bake it dry... that's how he made the mold. I worked hard for you, sister!"
Holy Shit! A loli and a big sister, how can both be models?
Chun was shocked: "Are you sure this is a mold, not a torture device?"
Nancy said, "I don't have a physical form, so it's not that uncomfortable for me."
The Siren sighed: "I have a body, so forget it, let's just add a pair of wings to the statue..."
Nancy laughed: "Alright! Actually, I think Pinocchio's craftsmanship is pretty good. Since the mold is made, why not make statues and sell them?"
Chun suddenly felt Nancy's grand scheme, somewhat helpless: "Can it really be sold?"
"Then we'll give them away!"
Holy Shit! Giving away instead of selling is truly scheming!
Chun still wanted everyone to get their share: "Goddess, don't run around tonight, just quietly be a model and let Pinocchio make a mold for you. Even if we give them away, it should at least be a pair!"
The Siren was dumbfounded: "I don't want to go into the mud box to bake!"
Chun persuaded: "Bear with it!"
The Siren thought for a moment: "Alright, I'll bear with it!"
As they spoke, the Old Turtle quickly circled the island, then found a position it deemed suitable and started diving.
Chun was also very curious to see how its limbs would excavate, only to see the Old Turtle facing away from the island, head forward sucking in water!
Holy Shit! The water jet excavation is out of this world!!
If it used its head to spray water, Chun could accept it, but it used the rear!
Amazing! Not to mention water jet is the strongest metal and stone cutting tool, this move could twist even space, drilling a hole under the island is nothing!
For the next period, Chun could only watch with nothing to do.
Looking at the time, it was 6 am. Alright, leave it to Aileen to manage, logged off to have breakfast. Speaking of which, the cleaning lady yesterday wanted crab roe dumplings, so let's try them.
The more the streaming stars began to notice themselves, the more one should maintain their usual routine—not for the streaming stars, but for the brothers in the internet cafe, to show their resilience! As for one's own state, it needs proper tidying, not to appear disheveled after an all-nighter...
Then he headed downstairs, and the internet cafe's attendant rushed over to greet: "Brother Chun, here for breakfast!"
Chun laughed: "Then I'll be unreserved!"
The attendant joyfully said: "Brother Chun, don't stand on ceremony!"
Chun waved to greet the internet cafe's masters, then saw many streaming stars still across the street outside, with even female streaming stars dancing!
Chun was surprised and asked the attendant: "They came so early?"
The attendant snorted: "They're streaming all night! The viewership is quite high..."
Overnight outdoor streaming! As Chun knew, this was a strong point of Shachang City... It seems they are planning a protracted battle?
Arriving at the back, the cleaning lady and the front desk young lady, along with security, brought out a towering stack of trays and two soup pots: "Crab roe buns are here!"
"Brother Chun, do you want winter melon rib soup, or tomato tofu soup?"
Chun immediately noticed the trays were brand new bamboo, instead of the common metal ones. So these trays were just bought?
This hospitality left Chun at a loss for words: "One bowl of each, I want to try them all!"
The attendant also cheerfully said: "I'll have one bowl of each too!"
To be honest, Chun hadn't eaten buns in years, mostly because of the news about bun fillings. The trays before him, emitting a fresh bamboo fragrance and steaming aroma of white dough, instantly awakened his long dormant appetite.
Picking up a small bun, looking at it from the sides, its roundness and sturdiness were evident. A gentle bite, and the mouth filled with juicy crab roe flavor—rich but not greasy. Chun found the taste indescribably delightful!
The cleaning lady laughed and asked: "Does it taste good?"
Chun could only give a thumbs-up: "Good!!"
Then sipping a mouthful of winter melon soup, the freshness was unmatched...
...
At that moment, Zhou Qing behind the surveillance also swallowed half a bun with great satisfaction.
This was taught by my aunt overnight, working until 2 am! But it was just practice with the dough, the real dough used was old sourdough from an outside bun shop, which can't be prepared overnight. So even though an entire tub of dough was wasted during practice, this old dough couldn't be messed up.
Now it looks like it works! Even I find these buns particularly delicious. How did I never get it before?
The true delicacies might not be in those high-end French or Italian restaurants. In life, missing out on such real food, no matter how much money one makes, feels like a loss...
