11 Little Foodie, Can You Beat a Shark?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chen Changan was already very happy to be able to get his hands on the barbecue grill. The addition of chili powder and 13-fragrance was a pleasant surprise.

For three whole days, Chen Changan had never eaten food with seasonings.

The bloodline power of the Foodaholic Empire prompted Chen Changan to immediately take out a burning piece of wood from under the sealed pot and place it under the grilling net. Then, he took out the squid that he couldn't bear to eat and put the tentacles with suction cups on the branch.

Apart from that, there were scallops, dogfish, flipfish, sea prawns, as well as some strange fish species that seemed to be unique to the Deep Sea World.

Seafood barbeque feast!

Chen Changan placed more than 20 skewers on the grill and chuckled. "Holy flames, roast my delicacies!"

When the seafood was gradually cooked, Chen Changan carefully tore open the packaging with 13-fragrance and meticulously smeared the condiments on the surface of the seafood. Then, he turned it and smeared it over again. He was extremely meticulous.

Chen Changan could guarantee that the quality of the barbecue this time was definitely comparable to the barbecue stall in the university. The only flaw was that eating barbecue alone was too boring. He sighed and said, "It's rare for me to make a delicacy, but I have to eat it alone. I don't even have any alcohol. It's really hard to live alone."

The seafood barbecue emitted waves of fragrance… Chen Changan hurriedly picked up a charcoal-grilled squid and took a bite, filling his mouth with fragrance.

"Obtained clean water and cooking equipment, hidden conditions satisfied."

"Doomsday Survival System—Achievement: No Worries About Food And Drinks. Obtained one lucky draw ticket."

'Double happiness!' Chen Changan was overjoyed; he immediately put down the squid in his hand and washed his hands clean with the water. Then, he immediately said, "Lucky draw!"

A colorful wheel suddenly appeared and floated in midair.

"This is the lottery wheel?" Chen Changan curiously examined it for a moment and found that there was a line of words carved on the wheel: "Life and death are determined by fate; richness and honor are determined by the heavens. There is a divine spear used to slay evil dragons, and there is also a deep-sea evil creature that loves flesh and blood. I wish you good luck!"

The seven colors of the fortune wheel represented seven different prizes: treasure, evil creature, pet, material, achievement points, fate, and 'thank you for participating.'

Seeing the 'thank you for participating' at the back, Chen Changan felt a little helpless. He was famous for not winning any prizes. He had reposted the lottery many times at Station B but had never been a lucky person.

Grief turns into a river…

"Should I forget about it? What if I draw a deep-sea evil creature? Although I don't know what it is, it sounds terrifying! Forget it; don't. It won't work."

Chen Changan turned the wheel without any hesitation.

A man's mouth was a liar!

The wheel began to turn very fast, but it inevitably slowed as time passed.

The pointer stopped at the yellow zone.

'What is yellow?' Chen Changan stuck his head out to take a look. He only had time to see the word 'object' before the wheel vanished like smoke. "I was too careless. I only remember that 'treasure' is red and that 'thank you for participating' is blue.

"What's yellow?" Chen Changan panicked.

Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of rushing water came from behind Chen Changan. It was as though something was rushing toward him.

He hurriedly turned around! He was so flustered that his legs were twitching!

Chirp chirp~

Just as he turned his head, a blue-and-white little cutie suddenly appeared.

Surprise flashed across Chen Changan's eyes as he exclaimed, "Dolphin!?"

Chirp chirp~

A blue-skinned dolphin with a round scar on its head poked out of the water and called out happily.

Cheng Changan clearly felt that the dolphin didn't have any hostility towards him. Instead, it shook its round head charmingly.

He stretched out his hand and touched the little dolphin's round skull. The dolphin rubbed its head against the back of his hand.

"Is it a pet or an evil creature?"

The system notification appeared at the right time and dispelled his worries.

Name: Unnamed

Status: Growth Period

Creature Description: It is a dolphin-like creature that lives in the ocean. It is kind and can understand human language. It had a horn on its forehead but was forced to break it off to escape after encountering a powerful evil creature.

Ability 1: Rapid Diving. Its tail has a tight muscle structure. After stimulating the tail muscles' potential, the diving speed will exceed 150 kilometers per hour. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown: 5 minutes.

Ability 3: Unknown.

Ability 4: Unknown.

Evaluation: It's a good kid, your good helper.

Chen Changan was surprised. This was the first time he had seen the word 'unknown' in the system prompt. Then, he saw the scar on the dolphin's forehead and realized that the latter two abilities should be related to the horn.

As the dolphin had lost its horn, the latter two abilities couldn't be used.

"No name?" Chen Changan looked at the light-yellow scar on the little dolphin's forehead. For some reason, he suddenly felt that there was an orange on its head and smiled. "My name is Chen Changan. From now on, your name is Orange!"

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"

Orange shook its round head merrily as if acknowledging the name.

This was the first time Chen Changan had a pet; he felt like a father.

He smiled and said, "Orange~ Orange~ Orange~"

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp chirp~" Orange responded cheerfully.

Chen Changan's eyes were gentle as he smiled and said, "I'm finally not alone anymore. I can finally have someone to talk to…"

As he spoke, Chen Changan's eyes teared up slightly as he laughed. "I'm laughing so hard that my eyes are watering!"

A man doesn't cry easily, just not to the point of sadness… Hot tears flowed down Chen Changan's face, and his tone gradually became choked.

After arriving at the Deep Sea World… Chen Changan faced the boundless sea by himself. For the past few days, he had been busy distilling, barbecuing, and collecting information. He had always thought that he wouldn't feel uncomfortable when he was busy, but…

He had no family, nobody to talk to, and no friends who could communicate with him. He searched for information regarding his roommates on the forum, but it was drowned out by the sea of information sent by eight billion people.

Really, he was left without a single friend.

But at the moment when Chen Changan was conversing with Orange, his chest—which previously felt as though it was being pressed down by a huge rock—felt a little better.

Chirp chirp~

Seeing that its master was sad, Orange tried its best to wiggle its tail, causing more of its body to surface.

Its little round head stuck to Chen Changan's palm.

Rub rub~

It was going to rub its master's face until he was beaming with joy.

Chen Changan patted Orange's head and said gently, "It's fine. I'm just crying from joy."

Orange cupped Chen Changan's palm and shook its head happily.

"What a silly fellow." Chen Changan remembered that dolphins loved to eat squid. He didn't even look at the price and directly bought a few squids from the market and fed them to Orange.

Orange ate the squids happily.

Chen Changan imitated the tone in the TV drama. "Orange, I'm willing to cover the entire fish pond for you."

In the end, Orange was still hungry and begged for more food.

Chen Changan laughed as he touched Orange's round skull, not realizing the seriousness of the matter at all.

Eight big fish were sent out.

Chen Changan said boldly: "Yes, go ahead."

It was just a dolphin. How could it eat him poor?

Orange was still not full when all eight big fish were finished. It swam around the raft and opened its mouth again.

Cheng Changan's smile faded. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, taking out a whole five kilograms of shark meat from the trading market.

What was frustrating was that even after the shark meat was eaten, Orange still looked like it hadn't had enough.

Chen Changan took out four small fishee from his inventory but did not feed them to Orange immediately. He smiled awkwardly. "Little foodie, can you beat a shark?"
