I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 307

Chapter 307: Three Cans of Fermented Soybean and Mandarin Fish Can Catch a Catgirl

 

With the two “little ones” who are three or four times my age, I returned to Ai Luodi’s rental house. While Xiao Mo was in the bedroom explaining Earth knowledge to Dolly and Yueyue, I took the nightgown that I had “borrowed” from the office of Mr. Lu Xinjian, the ex-owner of Yae-Do, who had recently gone bankrupt, and went into the bathroom while Xiao Mo was in the bedroom explaining Earth knowledge to Dolly and Yueyue.

 

At this time, Ai Luodi went to work at the café, Lan Jiajia took leave to go home for the Dragon Boat Festival, and Gabriel said she would battle in the underground e-sports center of the café until late at night. Fei Luo, on the other hand, came back obediently. Except for me, the house was filled with “people from other worlds,” so it didn’t matter what they did.

 

“It feels like Gabriel has completely fallen, but she’s really good at mastering the games here.”

 

“Do you know, Xiao Mo? Gabriel is playing that new game, called League of Legends. As soon as she started, she read through all the hero skill data and equipment data, memorized them, spent more than an hour simulating the best strategy, and then quickly defeated her opponents in practical training. Those boys thought she was cheating.”

 

“Humanity is defeated, they don’t stand a chance. Gabriel’s mind has always been running in energy-saving mode before, and at best, she’s just reached a balanced state here. She’s still far from reaching high-performance mode. The games here are not challenging for her…”

 

“This child Yueyue, why does she look like that cat mother… is she really the cat mother’s child? It’s nothing, but when your mother was as old as you, she came to me and asked for dragon milk…”

 

“……”

 

Seeing Dolly and Yueyue getting along well with Xiao Mo, I closed the bathroom door with relief and turned on the water heater.

 

“Splash—”

Suddenly, a warm stream of water poured down from above, enveloping the entire world in a mist.

 

“Mmm…”

Enjoying this moment of tranquility, I couldn’t help but hum softly as I let the hot water drench me completely.

 

I felt like elves would also enjoy water, and the sensation of bathing at this moment was similar to the human mode.

 

Until my entire hair became damp, I took some conditioner from the small shelf nearby, tilted my head slightly, and applied it to my long hair.

 

This small shelf was bought online by Xiao Mo, who had just learned how to shop online. It could be magically attached to the smooth bathroom wall to hold things.

 

The principle was very simple: first, stick the fixed straps with built-in buckles, two to four of them, then fix the metal shelf’s buckles on top. It was said to be able to hold at least ten kilograms of weight and was very cheap, only 9.9 yuan with free shipping.

 

It can be said that the development of industries such as takeaway and express delivery in modern society has really made the world more colorful.

 

And then…

 

Temporarily wrapping my hair in a shower cap, I took the body wash and applied it all over my body.

 

Logically, I wouldn’t actually encounter any awkward problems even if I didn’t bathe now. The body of an elf even naturally emits a certain floral or woody fragrance. But bathing and sleeping on time every day had become my habit, just as… a formality.

 

Xiao Mo actually follows my lead in this. Unlike Fei Luo and Gabriel, these two really don’t care at all about bathing or sleeping. They don’t even sleep.

 

Washing hair for twenty minutes, taking a shower for about ten minutes, and then another ten minutes for skincare and finishing touches – compared to guys, girls really spend a lot of time in the bathroom.

 

And this is under the premise of me trying to save time as much as possible. If there’s a girl with hair as long as mine and particularly keen on cleanliness, it’s estimated that she would have to spend an hour bathing before going to bed every day.

 

“Isn’t that amazing?”

 

“Wow! I love the setting of this world, meow.”

 

After changing into pajamas and leaving the bathroom, in mine and Xiao Mo’s room, I saw Dolly and Yueyue, who had been looking at Xiao Mo’s “Dream Archives,” both looking like they had almost understood everything. Both of them had red faces.

 

Before, Xiao Mo told me that the succubus’s “Dream” ability was originally used for their “predation.” This modus operandi is somewhat similar to some blood-sucking bats, which release some paralyzing saliva into their prey’s body before biting them, making the prey completely unaware that they’ve been bitten.

 

When succubi “prey,” they also do this. By forcibly putting humans to sleep, they unleash the dream setting predetermined by the succubus, and then die in happiness, having their energy drained.

 

Later, as the evil demon king wreaked havoc everywhere, causing misery among the people and even threatening to destroy the world, the succubi couldn’t bear it anymore and joined Xiao Mo’s side. Their unique ability to “create dreams” also spread.

 

Later, people discovered that this ability, besides being used for “predation,” had a much broader function. For example, succubi could package their own knowledge into a dream, creating a dream world full of information, allowing people to gain a large amount of knowledge and experience just by dreaming. It could also be used to treat patients with sleep disorders. Xiao Mo and Fei Luo both possessed this ability to control dreams.

 

In other words, while I was taking a shower just now, Dolly and Yueyue had already entered the dream world set up by Xiao Mo, where they had seen the introduction to Earth and learned a lot of basic knowledge about this place. With a few more visits, they should be able to learn the language and other things as well.

 

In dreams, time doesn’t synchronize with the outside world. Information that would take several hours or even a day for people in the real world to read through could be consumed in just ten minutes to an hour in a dream.

 

By the way, the way Dolly and Yueyue speak is quite distinctive…

 

I looked at the two of them in the room and walked over to Xiao Mo.

 

“Have they understood everything by now?”

 

Although Dolly is not as tall as Xiao Mo, she gives off a rather mature vibe overall. Her voice leans towards the mature side of a teenage girl, like the kind of girl who tries very hard. The first impression is that she emits an aura of “she may not necessarily succeed, but she will definitely strive to surpass success.”

 

As for Yueyue, she is the epitome of the “loli catgirl” that most people would imagine. Her voice is very childish, and she sometimes speaks unclearly. Although she doesn’t add “meow” to every sentence, you can still hear a vague “mew” at the end of some words, which is quite amusing to listen to.

 

“Brave hero!”

 

“The Brave One is here!”

 

For example, Yueyue’s phrase “???????” (y?ngzh? dàrén lái le ya) “The Brave One is here!” has a kind of “???????(??)” (y?ngzh? dàrén lái le ? (y? y?o))” feeling to it. It’s a retroflex sound, like the sound of “meow,” but on closer analysis, it also sounds like a little girl pronouncing her words incorrectly.

 

“Hello there.”

 

I waved to the two girls. “You don’t have to call me the brave hero. I don’t have his memories at all. Just think of me and him as two different people. Are you hungry? Shall I make something for you?”

 

“I ate before I came.”

 

“Dolly ate a lot of fruit when she came! I want meat. Is there any delicious meat here?”

 

Yueyue leaned in directly. “Preferably fish… this world should have it, right? The ones swimming in the water? Fish… It’s late at night, it might be hard to find fish for you.”

 

“There are canned fish.”

 

I remembered some canned fish I bought when stocking up on food before. “Canned fish okay?”

 

“Canned fish… is it fish that’s been sealed in a can?”

 

Yueyue seemed to not fully understand the language here, hesitating for a moment. “Is it fish?”

 

“It’s fish.”

 

I stepped out of the room. “Just wait a moment.”

 

It’s quite miraculous how Dolly, being a vegetarian centaur, and a cat girl who eats fish, could come together and become friends.

 

Canned fish, canned fish… found them.

 

I brought over a small stool, stood on it, and rummaged through the top cabinets in the kitchen. I retrieved two cans of silver carp from among them.

 

The advantage of canned food is that it can last a long time, usually with a shelf life of over a year. Some can even last for three years without spoiling, providing an emergency option. So, when I went shopping earlier, I bought a few cans as a backup, but ended up not needing them for emergencies and now they were to feed the cat.

 

However, canned foods have a major drawback for me now, which is…

 

*Click.*

 

“Ugh…”

 

With effort.

 

*Pop.*

 

Finally, it opened.

 

The current me really has no way of dealing with those cans that require a lot of strength to open. If the pull tab breaks, I’ll have to use a knife, and then I’ll have to call Xiao Mo over.

 

“Thanks for waiting!”

 

I poured the contents of the two cans of fish onto a small plate, heated them up in the microwave, then took some watermelon from the fridge, sliced it, and brought the plate to the bedroom. “Here’s the canned fish for little sister Yueyue, and Dolly’s watermelon.”

 

“Wow! It smells so good!”

 

Yueyue pounced over, deeply inhaling the aroma of the fish on the plate. “Is this the fish from here? What kind of technique is this? Steamed? Grilled? It looks so delicious!”

 

“It’s prepared in advance by the factory and stored, I just heated it up a bit.”

 

I handed the plate to the cat girl. “Give it a try.”

 

“Is this fruit called watermelon?”

 

In contrast, Dolly appeared more ladylike. She took the plate. “Thank you.”

 

“No problem, you can stay here tonight. Tomorrow, we’ll take a look at where we work.”

 

I gestured to Xiao Mo. “She’s already told you roughly about the situation here, right?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

After taking a bite of watermelon, Dolly showed a surprised expression. “The brave one has been kind to my mother, and it was her idea for us to come here this time. She hopes we can get some training here, which will be the most precious experience of our lives. Yueyue also came after learning about this…”

 

“Wow! This is so delicious! It’s amazing! Just as Xiao Mo recorded in her dream journal, this is truly a gourmet paradise!”

 

Dolly was interrupted by Yueyue, who was devouring the fish eagerly, her face filled with anticipation as she looked at me and Xiao Mo.

 

“Shouldn’t we get a reward for working here? If so… um… can my reward be… three cans of fish every day?”

 

Xiao Mo twitched her mouth slightly. “Are you sure you read the dream content I gave you just now?”

 

“Is that too much?”

 

Yueyue seemed a bit disappointed, then quickly perked up. “Then, two cans will do!”

 

It’s not about two or three cans, kid. I silently did some calculations in my mind. The maids at the café currently earn over 10,000 yuan a month on average, which is around 300 yuan a day. And the locally produced canned fish, even the expensive large cans, are only 9.9 yuan each. Even the 300g cans are just 15 yuan each, so three cans would be just over 40 yuan, which is not even close.

 

“You don’t need to worry about the reward. The salary here is sufficient, and meals are provided. Don’t worry.”

 

Xiao Mo smiled and said, “Instead of that, after you finish eating, come with me to the other side to check the beds, see if there’s anything you need, like pillows, blankets, and so on.”

 

“I want to sleep in that one!”

 

With lightning speed, Yueyue finished off the two cans of fish, hopped off the small chair, and dashed towards Xiao Mo’s previous room across the hall. In no time, she emerged carrying a large cardboard box.

 

I recognized it as the box Xiao Mo used when she bought her computer. We even played the “relaxation game” together, hiding inside it. That’s how the Tongmeng net ID “Little Xia Nuo Does Not Hide in the Cardboard Box” came about.

 

“I noticed this as soon as I came in earlier.”

 

Yueyue held the cardboard box, her cat ears twitching continuously.

 

“I want to sleep in this tonight!”

 

“……”
