Befriending the Most Powerful PersonCh13 - Feeding

Although he had already prepared himself, Shao Ci couldn’t take it anymore by the next day.

Because he had been soaking in the ability elixir the entire time and he felt as though he was going to soak into a prune, Shao Ci found a place at the side of the pool to put his feet and sat down directly. fR57dU

The biggest problem was that there wasn’t any food here! Other than the ability elixir, the only things left were the plants on the wall.

Shao Ci couldn’t drink the ability elixir, and he was so hungry his head was spinning. He could only lean against the wall, looking at the mutant plants on the wall, considering whether or not he would die of poison if he went straight to gnaw on the plants. No, before that, the plants would have already whipped him to death.

In contrast, Yu Shao was laying on Shao Ci’s lap, as though he didn’t understand why Shao Ci wouldn’t play with him.

Suddenly, the wall began to shift and the vines began to creep out. There was a sparkling crystal tangled in the vines. The crystal looked like it had come from an especially powerful zombie. It was colorful, like a piece of candy… Of course, it was much too hard to be a piece of candy. Normal zombie crystals were simply ordinary, but the researchers at S City’s base had done experiments on mutant zombie crystals before, and it was almost even harder than diamond. 8M5lRn

The crystal was sent to Yu Shao. He automatically took the crystal, took a bite, and swallowed the crystal cleanly in a few mouthfuls.

“Fuck.” Shao Ci recalled how he had been bitten yesterday and his blood ran cold. Yesterday, he had almost been ended just like this zombie crystal.

Although he knew zombies could advance using other zombie crystals, gnawing at a crystal so carelessly was still too cruel… And what was up with these mutant plants? Why did they listen to Yu Shao?

Shao Ci couldn’t figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. And he was hungry enough to faint.

A hand brought a crystal in front of him. Shao Ci looked over in shock and met with Yu Shao’s wide, red crystalline eyes. He raised a hand to send the crystal into Shao Ci’s mouth.

He wanted to give it to me to eat? Shao Ci felt moved. “Thank you, but I can’t eat these things…”

Yu Shao tilted his head, then put the crystal in his mouth. This was normal, but then he brought his head over, holding Shao Ci’s face, and pressed their lips together.

Shao Ci was stupefied. “!?” Fuck, wait, what was happening. 5RdZ8I

Yu Shao pushed the crystal into Shao Ci’s mouth with his tongue. Shao Ci struggled furiously. If he swallowed it down, he would really die!

Though Yu Shao looked small, he was too strong for Shao Ci to resist. He reached out to pinch Shao Ci’s chin, keeping him still, and he had no choice but to let Yu Shao’s tongue run wild.

He could only hold down the crystal with his tongue to stop himself from accidentally swallowing it. He didn’t know if he was imagining it, but he felt like there was a sweet taste in his mouth.

He actually ate the crystal by accident!!

Shao Ci felt uncomfortable all over. There wasn’t anyone who had eaten a zombie crystal, was there! Those ability users all absorbed them in their hands. Maybe he would just be forced to go die.

But Yu Shao looked content. SkMxqs

Shao Ci looked at him with tears in his eyes, feeling like he’d be driven to his death soon, but Yu Shao just stared curiously at the liquid sparkling in his eyes. He leaned over, lapping it up, then as though he had gotten addicted to it, grabbed onto Shao Ci and licked the rest of his tears up.

Shao Ci: “QAQ.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Unexpectedly, after a long time, Shao Ci still didn’t feel anything strange in his body, and his stomach didn’t feel weird either. Only his hunger had disappeared, and he was full of energy again.

“Could it be that crystals are edible?” Shao Ci let out a breath of relief. “Whatever, in any case I’ve managed to keep my little life.” t6HdwE

There wasn’t any light here, so Shao Ci just slept when he was tired. Luckily, the crystal he ate earlier was really filling.

The next day was the same. The vines sent over a few crystals.

It seemed the vines were in charge of sending crystals. He just didn’t know why it had bundled him inside. Shao Ci felt like he was too unlucky… Wait, maybe this was all because of Yin Han’s protagonist halo. In the original novel, something would happen to all the people close to Yin Han when they went out on assignments. Wasn’t he the same now? He was just a little luckier than them. He didn’t get offed, but rather he became the zombie king’s rations.

After Yu Shao ate his crystals, he brought the last crystal over to feed Shao Ci. He probably didn’t know what kissing meant yet, and just thought it was fun. GajXnY

Although Shao Ci felt ashamed, he couldn’t refuse… otherwise he would starve to death.

After he experienced the same crystal feeding play as yesterday, Shao Ci choked into tears again.

Yu Shao immediately scooted closer, licking the tears clean. Looking satisfied, he pecked Shao Ci on the cheek.

Shao Ci: “…Wait, this isn’t anything that can be eaten!” This was bad, Yu Shao seemed to have adopted some weird interests. eMQAbW

In the next few days, Shao Ci tried to correct Yu Shao’s habits, but it was completely useless. Sometimes, when he didn’t cry, Yu Shao would cling onto him for the entire day and even bite his shoulder, aggrieved. Although they were gentle bites, Shao Ci had been scared silly.

Because it was too boring staying there all day, Shao Ci would inspect the surrounding walls when he was bored. It was definitely man-made, and since it was man-made there should be an exit… Of course, if the exit had been blocked off by the mutant plants, he couldn’t do anything about it.

When he sat down to rest, he was stunned to find that there was a hidden crack at the wall where he was sitting. Shao Ci immediately searched the wall and unexpectedly discovered that there was a place that needed authentication. He didn’t know whether it could still be used after so long, but there was doubtlessly another space.

It was as though Shao Ci had been told a huge secret, but he didn’t dare to do anything. If he opened the door and provoked Yu Shao, it wouldn’t be good. WzvRAF

But a voice in his head said that the truth must be hidden behind the door.

On the other hand, Yu Shao seemed to be growing up. He was growing visibly bigger day by day, and the liquid in the pool was quickly depleting. The pool had become much more shallow than before.

At first, he didn’t know how to speak, but by the second day he could make basic noises. On the third day, he could say full sentences.

During that time, he never stopped feeding Shao Ci. As he watched Yu Shao growing bigger and bigger, the pressure on Shao Ci also became greater and greater. Several times, he was kissed until he almost fainted. Mj12vB

When Yu Shao’s IQ returned to its original level, would he realize that he was a zombie and Shao Ci was a human, then kill him directly? Shao Ci worried until his hair was about to fall out.

Finally, Shao Ci woke up one day and unexpectedly couldn’t find Yu Shao. Instead, there was a cocoon the height of two people in the center of the pool. The ability elixir in the pool was being sucked up by the cocoon at a frightening rate… Without a doubt, this was Yu Shao’s complete maturation.

“I only have this chance.” Shao Ci gritted his teeth secretly. He wasn’t thinking of escaping. His capture target was Yu Shao, so if he escaped and couldn’t do his task, then he was done for. But he cared a lot about what in the world was going on here.

Shao Ci came to the hidden door, thought for a moment, took out Yu Shao’s employee ID that he had hidden on himself, and placed it onto the scanner. DgKTn2

The door opened.

A laboratory appeared before Shao Ci’s eyes. Unexpectedly, the lights were on, but the exit was sealed. Shao Ci walked straight in. There was a large pile of data on the table, but he couldn’t understand it at all.

Luckily, there was a thick journal laying on the table. If this was a game, this would be the most important item… Shao Ci sighed deeply, sitting on the chair and flipping the journal open.

Yu Shao was the owner of the journal. When others were using the zombies to research an ability strengthening ability, Yu Shao was researching mutant plants. He wanted to think of ways to use the mutant plans, and specially applied for a laboratory hidden underground. 9fJRWx

Later, because they miscalculated the effects of the ability elixir, the entire research institute sank down to hell when they used the elixir on the zombies. Because Yu Shao was in his hidden laboratory, he wasn’t affected, but he was fairly clear about what had happened outside.

Yu Shao was indeed a genius, but while he had high IQ, he was apathetic. He only cared about his own research. When the research institute was destroyed, he wasn’t affected very strongly, and he didn’t think about running away. Instead, he began to research furiously.

He began to research how he could create the most powerful zombie. He even improved the ability elixir that the other researchers had created and added in the method he had discovered to control mutant plants. In the end, he created a frighteningly strong ability elixir.

The zombie created with this ability elixir wasn’t entirely a zombie. It could be considered a new hybrid of a mutant plant and zombie. 5ox1np

By then, the laboratory’s rations were running low. Yu Shao thought of a new method. He would make himself the first experiment.

The journal ended there.

Shao Ci’s eyes went wide and his jaw dropped. “!” He really felt like this story was full of holes. And this wasn’t in the original novel at all, right? This zombie king seemed to be much stronger than the original, could he be even better?

He didn’t know if he had caused the plotline to change because of the butterfly effect or if this world had never followed the original novel to begin with. 4bnKx

“Suddenly I’m beginning to worry that Yin Han won’t be able to be stronger than Yu Shao.” If Yu Shao was stronger, he’d have no way to leave.

Shao Ci sighed, standing up and planning to see how the situation was outside.

Suddenly, something cold crawled onto his waist. He looked down, and it was actually a vine that had come out of nowhere and wrapped itself around him.

Shao Ci: “!!?” Wait a second, what kind of tentacle play was this! Gatu8e

In moments, Shao Ci was completely tied down by the vines. He couldn’t move an inch or even struggle in the slightest. He looked over wildly, and spotted a tall figure slowly walking over.

The beautiful teenager had completely matured into a young adult. His face was as exquisite as it had been before, and his pale red eyes had a hint of laughter. He wore a white lab coat that had come out of nowhere, one hand placed lazily in a pocket and his other hand pinching a gorgeous red crystal.
