Chapter 180 the family hot pot meal

Edited by Esperanza

To hold an animal Olympics, the stadium and the athletes are essential, but there is another important element that needs to be present, and that is the commentator. And in mini Luhua village, there was already a villager whose profession was a host.

Mini Luhua village had a prison and two bounty hunters, Firefly and Dean. Occasionally, they would catch some criminals or extreme fans in the amusement park. Extreme fans were often sent back to the fallen city, while criminals were sent to the prison to reform. After they served their time, they would become the villagers of the ACG world.

However, not all villagers of the ACG world had professions.

Apart from the stalker and the black witch, who was caught in the beginning, for a while, no one else that was released from the prison, had a profession. They also lived in the little kingdom, but because they didn’t have any profession, they had to rely on other people’s help, these types of people were also known as “refugees”.

At present, mini Luhua village had 33 unemployed refugees.

However, after some time, “probability” this kind of thing would still appear.

A week before Zhou Yu decided to hold the animal Olympics, Luhua village was quiet after night fell, except for the small amusement park where the lights were still on.

There was a birthday party in the fantasy city. All kinds of local luxury cars were gathered in the park at the gate of the amusement park, which was a really spectacular view.

However, in one of the rich man’s cars, there was an uninvited guest, The Copycat Wang. Hiding among the crowd of guests, he slipped into the amusement park and hopped all the way to Zhou Yu’s house.

The copycat Wang was a class-d criminal with the ability to ‘copy and paste’, which allowed him to attach a portion of his cells to the brain of the goddess of creativity, thereby stealing all of her ideas over time. If the goddess of creativity was not cured in time, she would die of inspiration exhaustion.

So, his goal was very clear. It was the goddess who lived in the creative tree.

At this time Zhou Yu was eating a hotpot meal by himself in the real world, but in fact, in the ACG world, he was surrounded by his children and a thick-skinned foodie. The twins, Firefly, Yang Kuai, little Muli, Bai Mo, plus the chubby foodie, the third dragon prince.

To Zhou Yu, it was just an ordinary size hot pot, but for the small people, its size was like the size of a small swimming pool. The cutleries that were specially made from the potted plants that Zhou Yu planted, were just as big as the size of their bodies, but they seemed to like using this kind of cutleries to eat a lot.

Maybe they were imitating their old man.

The table was slightly chaotic, the twin chefs were carefully preparing the hotpot sauce, but Firefly, who has been drinking near them, was making trouble while shouting “hotpot should be all about boiling meat!”, and then she would put a lot of sliced meat into the pot, completely ignoring the angry shouts of the twin chefs.

“Firefly, just sit there and stop making trouble! Otherwise, I’ll throw away the alcohol!”

After Zhou Yu shouted, Firefly finally quieted down. To her, if she couldn’t drink while eating hotpot, the meal would be tasteless. The hateful old man always liked to take advantage of her weakness, it seemed that she should save a little more money, so the next time, she could just bring her own drink.

Yang Kuai and little Muli were relatively quiet. It was only Bai Mo who had a little problem. As the curse had not yet been removed, he still had to wear women’s dresses. And every day the dress would be different. Today, to Zhou Yu’s surprise, it was actually Sakura Kinomoto’s costume. It was so girlishly cute that Zhou Yu didn’t even dare to look at him. All he felt was that if he was holding a magic wand, then the cosplay would be perfect.

Because of this, Bai Mo was extremely angry. He was just sitting there, constantly emitting cold air. It was obviously a hot day in July, and they were also eating hot pot, but they could feel the cool air in the room as if the air conditioning was running. Actually, it was a good way to save some electricity.

His son was in a bad mood, so Zhou Yu held a small family gathering in the hope of easing Bai Mo’s anger a little.

Zhou Yu also felt helpless. He still had not found a way to break the curse.

The chubby prince was holding long chopsticks, sitting on a big bench with the same height as the hot pot, constantly stirring the hot pot, hoping to find the ACG world’s fish that he put in the hotpot. Because of the excellent performance in the food program, the chubby prince has become a regular guest of the program, but because he was eating delicious food every day, he became an extremely fussy eater. Normal food was not able to satisfy him now.

Unfortunately, Firefly already got the fish. This bratty girl’s manly temperament was vividly displayed while eating the hotpot. The long chopsticks were moved like a Shaolin staff technique, and very accurately stabbed the ‘white orange fish’ that the chubby prince was ready to take out from the pot.

The fish was round and shaped like an orange. And its meat was tender and tasty. It could be considered as the most delicious one-star fish.

“Ah! That’s my fish! It took me a lot of effort to catch one! Give it back to me!”

The dragon prince’s Chubby face was filled with sadness. In order to catch this fish, he had spent a lot of effort, but he didn’t expect that someone would take it from his hands.

Firefly’s face was filled with smug smiles while she was quickly eating the fish. At the same time, she didn’t forget to wave the chopsticks at the chubby prince and provoked, “people who are faster will get everything. Have you never heard of this sentence? If you want, take it yourself.”

The chubby prince, of course, would not accept it. Two people instantly began to use chopsticks as the weapon to perform all kinds of martial arts moves around the hotpot, but, unfortunately, the chubby prince was not a professional martial master. He was no match for the bounty hunter Firefly. In the end, he lost the fight in tears.

“Mu ha ha ha, wanting to snatch meat from my hand? Too naive!”

Firefly’s mischief, Zhou Yu really didn’t know what to say to her anymore. Whenever they had a meal together, there would be a fight that was caused by her. It has already become a common occurrence. The most troublesome was Bai Mo, this guy’s extremely cold body was really a big problem. Whenever he used the chopsticks to pick up something from the bowl, the food in the bowl would be immediately frozen into popsicles. Seeing Bai Mo eating the icy food that was supposed to be hot, Zhou Yu did not know how to feel.

In the end, it was Muli who solved this problem. She offered her help to feed her little brother personally. With that, the temperature in the room finally slowly returned to normal.

Zhou Yu was enjoying the hotpot with his children, but he did not know that a small shadow outside was quietly lurking into the small forest, moving closer and closer toward the creative tree.

Although it was already night time, the goddess of creativity Luo Shui has not gone to sleep. At the moment, she was combing her hair and humming songs happily in the tree. It seemed that she was in a good mood.

“Hey, the beautiful girl in the tree, I am a new villager of mini Luhua village, I wonder if I can become your friend?”

Luo Shui was a simple and innocent girl, playing in the creative tree every day. Perhaps she had spent too much time in the temple of creativity, she did not have any wariness towards other people. She was easily deceived by the copycat Wang’s words and was ready to come down from the tree to play with the strange ‘uncle’.

The idea of the copycat Wang was very beautiful, however, he did not expect, there would be someone protecting Luo Shui. And there were two of them.

The worst part was that both of them were very violent.
