The Reborn Honest Beta is a Fishing Beauty - Chapter 6 PT1

Chapter 6 PT1 – “It’s Cute.”

Su Nuo opened the dialog box and a message came into view.

【L: Do you really know a way to repel the zerg?】

The screen before his eyes began to shake vaguely and the image soon became blurry.

Su Nuo wiped his eyes and realised that it was not the picture that had become blurry, but his eyes. Tears filled his eyes, and the depths of his heart seemed to be filled with salty tears.

He struggled to type, his fingers trembling. After a long time, he finally typed out the word “yes”, but he was still hesitant to press the send key.

Lu Yu.

It really was Lu Yu.

Time seemed to reset, and he returned to the world where Lu Yu was still alive. The salty tears deep in his heart turned into puffy marshmallows, enveloping him in strands of sweetness.

He plucked up his courage, sent the message and found Zhan Ting’s account. He couldn’t wait to share the good news with Zhan Ting.

【S: Zhan Ting! Lu Yu accepted my friend request!】

【Z: Oh.】

【S: I still want to thank you. By the way, were you the one driving the blue mecha today?】

【Z: Um.】

Very cool.

【S: Oh.】

Su Nuo closed the dialog box with Zhan Ting and found that Lu Yu had not replied to his message yet. He could not help but pace back and forth in his room, but unfortunately the room was too small and he was almost walking in circles.

More than ten minutes later, Lu Yu replied.

【Lu: Why did you approach to me?】

Su Nuo typed out a paragraph of text in a high-sounding manner, but then deleted it all and kept only one sentence.

【S: Because I want to help you.】

【L: I can’t trust a stranger for no reason. Who are you? 】

【S: Deputy General Lu, I cannot tell you my identity for now, but I will definitely not harm you. Please trust me.】

【L: If you don’t want to tell me who you are, at least let me know what you look like.】

Su Nuo naturally couldn’t send his photograph. Sending his photo would be the same as revealing his identity. He was still a servant of the Yuan Palace. If Lu Yu knew about his identity, he would definitely not trust him.

For a while, he was lost in a dilemma. He was afraid that if he tried to hide his identity, the other party would get impatient, so he had to think of a compromise.

【S: Can I send you photos without my face?】

【L: Um.】

Su Nuo began to pick photos and selected a bunch of photos without showing his face, but he was not satisfied with any of them. He simply turned on the camera and planned to take one now.

Focusing on his body, he suddenly thought of his previous life.

For a while, he didn’t like wearing socks. Since his legs had no feeling, he just gave up.

One time, Lu Yu came over and happened to see him barefoot.

He leaned over and held his feet. For a moment, he almost thought his legs had regained consciousness, and he could actually feel the rough friction of Lu Yu’s fingertips at his ankles.

Lu Yu put on socks for him: “Be careful not to catch a cold.”

Since then, Lu Yu often reminded him to wear socks. He also reminded him specifically before going to the Samuel battlefield.

His focus moved downward, finally landing on his feet.

With a click, the photo was captured and sent over.

At this moment, on the other side, in the conference room.

“Deputy General Lu, what do you think?”

“It’s cute.”

Lu Yu looked at the photo transmitted to his brain. The calves were slender and well-proportioned, the toes were white, and the nails were very light in color and trimmed into a square shape. The whole foot looked very small and cute.

After he finished speaking, there was only silence around him.

Lu Yu realized something was wrong, turned off his light brain, raised his head and looked at Lu Xing, who had an expressionless face, and his gaze quickly moved to the screen in front of him.

The image projected on the screen was a group of newly hatched, wriggling Sakru larvae.

“Bleghhh–”

Suddenly, an officer retched and the others looked unhappy as well. They looked at the larvae, then at Lu Yu, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.

Lu Xing: “Pretty cute?”

Lu Yu recovered and smiled: “Isn’t this cute?”

“Ugh—” Another officer beside him covered his stomach and retched.

Lu Yu: “…”

Lu Xing glanced at Lu Yu and continued analyzing the Sakru larvae. “The brains of these larvae are different from those of traditional Sakru worms, and they are also different from those of two-headed worms. We don’t know yet whether the Sakru worms have evolved or mutated. I have arranged for a research team to stay on the planet to observe the larvae.”

The meeting is over.

Lu Yu followed Lu Xing out.

Lu Xing: “How’s your injury recovering lately?”

“It’s fine.”

“Were you the one who ruined the Yuan Palace celebration banquet?”

The topic suddenly changed. Lu Yu instinctively wanted to deny it. He glanced at Lu Xing’s profile and said, “Brother, although I didn’t find what Yuan Jianyi wanted to give me this time, I found Qin Chao’s trace.”

“So you just killed him?”

“He deserves to die.”

“He should be tried in a criminal court, not lynched.”

“Hand him over to the Tribunal? He has a valid reason to escape the charges. Someone like him should be killed outright. It’s a shame that we left his body intact.”

“…”

“Then why did you turn Team C1 upside down?”

The Yuan Palace urgently blocked the information and did not want to spread this embarrassing incident, but the blue mecha had a recorder. Lu Yu posted the video recorded from a first-person perspective on the Internet, which immediately caused a sensation.

All major sections are now filled with reports about the Bingyi team being beaten and the Yuan Palace being bombed.

Yuan Palace tried to delete the video from the entire Internet, but they still couldn’t control the development of the situation.

“Yuan Yao wants to flatter Team C1, so I’ll show everyone the true face of Team C1, a bunch of good-for-nothings.”

Lu Xing glared at Lu Yu with a dark look, looking hopeless.

Lu Yu smiled heartlessly: “Brother, you don’t have to worry about me, I know what I’m doing.”

Lu Xing remained silent. His anger lasted only three seconds before he said expressionlessly, “Come home for dinner tonight. Your sister-in-law has cooked your favorite dishes.”

“No, I have something else to do.”

“Ming Cong misses you.”

With his little nephew mentioned, Lu Yu immediately changed his tone: “Okay.”

After sending the photo, Su Nuo looked at the chat from time to time, but never received a reply.

When he was about to fall asleep at night, the screen suddenly flashed.

Lu Yu replied.

【What do you know?】

Su Nuo fell into memories. In his previous life, he accidentally saw a news item on the Internet. It said that a grass called the cyperus rotundus gave off a strange smell and was the only thing that could drive away the Zerg. Unfortunately, it had gone extinct many years ago.

At that time, he had looked at the picture of the plant, and realised that it looked exactly like the inconspicuous potted plant on his window.

Long ago, he had casually grafted two plants, and unexpectedly created the herb.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t remember what the original two mother plants were.

Thus no second plant was grafted after that.

【Su Nuo: One thing I know is that it requires two plants to be grafted together.】

After he finished speaking, he quickly added another sentence.

【Su Nuo: I have been researching recently. If there are any clues or progress, I will let you know in time.】

Lu Yu on the opposite side looked at the reply and chuckled softly.

Researching?

Why didn’t he see him doing that?

He had clearly been looking up all kinds of gossip about him all night.

Thinking that it would not be easy for Su Nuo to find such a reason in order to get close to him, Lu Yu did not continue to ask.

A simple reply.

【It’s time to go to bed.】

After receiving the expected reply “Good night”, Lu Yu turned off the computer and went to sleep.
