Chapter 537: Chapter 537: Secretly Had Another Son?
Ancient Earth decided to do a live stream with a food theme tonight, something she had never done before.
That is, delicacies specially made for children.
However, some preparations needed to be made for the live stream, and so Ancient Earth asked Vermilion Bird to contact suppliers for the ingredients, while she herself reviewed the order of the broadcast content.
By the time Ancient Earth was almost ready, she saw her daughter, Xiaoyan, rubbing her eyes as she came downstairs.
"Mommy, what are you doing?"
"Mommy has decided to do a cooking live stream. Xiaoyan, tell me what you want to eat, and Mommy will make a few dishes that you like."
"Sure!" The little girl yawned.
She had just woken up to find that Brother Little Mushroom was no longer by her side; he must have left earlier for some reason.
Moreover, now that Mommy was back, the little girl was especially clingy to her mother. Seeing that Mommy was going to do a cooking live stream, she became particularly curious.
So after choosing the dishes, she didn’t leave but squatted beside her mother, watching her wash and prepare the vegetables.
Seeing that her daughter was interested in the live cooking, Ancient Earth didn’t have the heart to send her away. But she didn’t want her daughter to appear on camera, so after some thought, she had Vermilion Bird bring the mask she had always worn.
After putting on the mask, which could be adjusted manually or set to random, the beautiful Xiaoyan turned into an ordinary-looking... little boy?
But the child was still too young, and the appearance set by the mask was common, so at first glance, it was difficult to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.
Xiaoyan didn’t care about her own appearance; she was more curious about how Mommy would cook on the live stream.
Once everything was ready, there was no need for promotion. As soon as the word got out that the Food God was going to do a live stream, the whole network was abuzz.
After all, it had been more than half a year since Ancient Earth had done a live stream. Her old fans could only watch her previous live stream videos, longing deeply, or go to the Su Family restaurant to order a few dishes to satisfy their cravings.
Just as Ancient Earth was about to start the broadcast, Little Gu Yu also woke up. He came downstairs and saw his mother preparing for the live stream in the kitchen; he was quite unfazed because he knew his mother loved to cook.
But why was there another little boy beside Mommy... and one almost the same age as him!
The golden-tailed little mermaid suddenly became alert, wondering how he was no longer Mommy’s only little son. He dashed over like a cannonball and plunged into Ancient Earth’s arms.
Ancient Earth was startled for a moment, relieved that she hadn’t started broadcasting yet. She wrapped her arms around her son and asked, "Xiaoyu, what’s wrong?"
"Mommy! When did you secretly have another son!?"
Little Gu Yu could accept having a sweet, soft sister, and he could accept that Mommy doted on her sister more.
But he couldn’t accept that Mommy had another son his own age!
Ancient Earth had no idea about her child’s strange jealousy. She turned her head and saw Xiaoyan with a strange face, looking a bit bewildered at her little brother. Realizing belatedly, she laughed and said, "Xiaoyu, this is your sister Xiaoyan. Mommy gave her a mask because we’re going to do a cooking live stream soon."
"Xiaoyan?"
Xiaoyu looked confusedly at his side. Ancient Earth took off Xiaoyan’s mask, revealing the little girl’s beautiful face, and then put the mask back on again.
Little Gu Yu finally understood!
He was no longer jealous or sad and excitedly said, "Mommy, I want to wear a mask too!"
"No, Mommy only has one of these masks. But your daddy also has one. When he gets off work, you can ask him to lend it to you to try on."
Little Gu Yu: "..."
Ask him to borrow something from dad? Better not, he thought. He could wait until Xiaoyan got bored and borrow it to play with then.
Little Gu Yu obediently crouched out of camera range, without coming closer, and only then did Su Wan let Vermilion Bird turn on the live broadcast camera.
In the camera, Su Wan had already changed out of her military uniform and was wearing a beige leisure suit with an apron tied around her waist, giving off an exceptionally gentle aura.
The netizens hadn’t seen her for a long time and were excited.
However, their attention was quickly drawn to the child beside Su Wan!
"Oh my god, whose child is this? Only three or four years old, right? Could this be the elder brother of Su Wan’s twin Dragon and Phoenix babies?"
"Impossible, with the looks of Su Wan and Commander Gu, their child’s features couldn’t possibly be this ordinary."
"I’ve seen the little brother from the twin Dragon and Phoenix babies before, and he definitely doesn’t look like this!"
"Then, whose child is this, a relative’s?"
"Why would she bring a relative’s child on a live stream?"
The netizens were in a hot debate, with some even directly asking, but of course, Su Wan wouldn’t reveal the truth. She continued slowly explaining that today’s main topic was children’s meals, specially suited to the diets of little ones.
"No matter if your child is a beastman or a pure human, it’s best not to let them eat Insect Beasts for now because their bodies contain certain toxins. We adults can handle it, but it might affect the children’s physical development if they consume them."
"Try to choose non-mutated vegetables as raw materials."
There was still some time before Su Wan’s appointment as Probationary Commander, so one of the two things she needed to do beforehand, finding a suitable place to grow vegetables, was now on her agenda.
This had been troubling Su Wan for a long time.
However, as she looked down and saw her daughter playing with a small white mushroom, a spark of inspiration struck.
The best place to grow vegetables had to be Ancient Earth, where now, one could only simulate the environmental conditions necessary for cultivation.
If she wanted to plant a large amount of vegetables, she would have to build a super-giant simulation greenhouse. Not only was this very challenging and costly, but at this time, fruits and vegetables were extremely important resources—no less significant than energy itself.
But now, Su Wan had finally found a place that was absolutely suitable for planting fruits and vegetables!
That was none other than Virtual Landis City, which they had mistakenly entered before!
The reason it was called Virtual Landis City was that it was actually a virtual space developed by Brother Little Mushroom, modeled after Landis City.
Back then, the city lord and his ancestors stumbled into it by chance and began capturing beastmen to use their spiritual power as the energy to sustain that world.
Those strange stones.
It wasn’t long ago that Su Wan confirmed she had indeed taken one of those strange stones, and now, she could also summon Little Mushroom.
The only uncertainty was whether she could re-enter Virtual Landis City, and once inside, what would be used as energy to maintain its basic functions.
But, if this really worked out, that place would be the safest and most suitable location for growing fruits and vegetables!
Su Wan was a bit excited, but she pushed down the excitement in her heart for the moment and continued to finish the rest of the live stream. After the broadcast ended and Gu Jue got off work, Su Wan immediately brought up the matter with him.
After explaining, Su Wan looked at Gu Jue with anticipation, "Ajue, what do you think about this idea?"
