Chapter 398: Tuanzi Beast

Yi Xing has already begun to consider staying here tonight.

The price of this hotel is already the lowest.

Of course, there are actually cheaper ones, but that’s Datongpu. The cheapest one is ten copper coins per night, but it does not provide free hot bath water or meals.

The sleeping environment is not only unhygienic, but is often cramped and offers no privacy at all.

Most of them have to sleep next to other grown men. This made Yi Xing feel very awkward.

It's one thing that he doesn't like lying so close to other men.

Because he looks like a girl, living in a place like this will easily attract strange looks from other people, which is another matter.

To take a step back, even if he is willing to live there, the boss is unlikely to rent it to him.

After all, this kind of place is basically only visited by men. If a female guest comes to stay and something goes wrong, the boss is afraid of taking responsibility.

Yoshiyuki couldn't wait to crack the eggs.

However, as soon as he took a bite, he noticed that the egg tasted a bit salty, even bitter.

For a moment, Yoshiyuki thought in horror that he had taken in too much salt and that his saliva had become salty.

But then he realized it was the smell of sea water.

So that’s it, use it to boil eggs directly, even omit the seasoning...

…

Damn it, I still think regular boiled eggs taste better!

It's okay just to have a salty taste, but this one is so bitter!

It was done too casually!

Yoshiyuki wanted to complain.

But then I thought, it’s free, so don’t complain.

However, based on this, he had second thoughts.

Then I felt that this so-called free thing was bullshit.

Can this be considered free? !

The cost has obviously been paid into the accommodation fee in advance!

That said, it's not free at all.

Instead, the charges are bundled in advance. Regardless of whether you eat this breakfast or not, you have already paid for it!

Sure enough, if you look at something from different angles, your mentality will be quite different.

It's like saying that when I listened to Little Red Riding Hood's divination before, I learned that the eldest lady was far away... Then thinking about it on the bright side, the eldest lady is still alive.

If you think in the worst direction, you will feel that it is so far away and when will you find it?

Yoshiyuki sighed as he thought of this.

He hopes to find a companion as soon as possible.

Even if there is only one.

As long as you can be with your companions, at least you won't be lonely and you can take care of each other.

You can also discuss it when doing something. This results in a more comprehensive opinion.

1+1, at this time, is always greater than two.

After eating breakfast, Yi Xing paid another day's rent and set off for a nearby construction site.

However……

On the way, Yoshiyuki saw something that surprised him!

Wait, what is that?

Yoshiyuki saw a dog-eared girl passing by holding a moving dumpling.

It is orange and has two eyes. It will bounce its body slightly, look around curiously, and make cute calls of "Bow!" and "Bow!"!

The animal-eared girl hugged him with her arms, and from time to time she would rub her face against the dumpling lovingly. You could tell by looking at her how much she loved him.

This suddenly attracted his attention, which shocked Yi Xing.

In this world...are there actually living dumplings? !

Can I buy it in Haiou Port? ! Then I must get one for the eldest lady! She must like it very much!

Yoshiyuki rushed over excitedly, startling the animal-eared girl.

She hugged Tuanzi tightly and took two steps back, with a look of horror on her face.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Yoshiyuki realized that the other party regarded him as the bad guy who stole the dumplings, and quickly explained incoherently: "Actually, I have a friend who likes dumplings very much."

"Well..." Beast Ear Girl looked at Yi Xing, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Is this friend you are talking about yourself?"

Yoshiyuki: "Well, actually it can be understood this way... Can I ask what it is?"

Beast Ear Girl: "...Duanzi."

Yoshiyuki: "Is this called a dumpling?"

Beast Ear Girl: "To distinguish it from the dumplings we eat, we can call it a dumpling beast."

Yoshiyuki: "Oh...can I touch it?"

Tuanzi: “Boo boo?”

It turned its ellipsoid-shaped body and raised its eyes to look at the beast-eared girl.

"Well... I'll just let you touch it."

The animal-eared girl thought for a while and handed the dumplings in her hand out.

However, before Yi Xing could take it, it jumped into Yi Xing's hand, shook its body, and let out a cheerful "Bow!" sound.

Yoshiyuki pinched it curiously and found that it felt soft and had no fuzz on the surface.

It can be easily pinched and deformed like a doll, and the dumplings don’t look painful at all.

"Excuse me...Does Tuanzi only have eyes? Does it have no other organs? In other words, its eyes are just two vertical lines that can change their appearance...there is no collision volume at all."

Yoshiyuki asked with great interest as he looked around while holding the dumpling.

"Does it replenish energy by basking in the sun? Or by absorbing spiritual power?"

"No. The dumplings have to eat sweets to replenish their energy. And they have mouths! Look."

The animal-eared girl put her hand into her chest, took out a candy bar, and put it in front of Tuanzi.

When Tuanzi saw this, he immediately let out a cheerful cry of "Bola!", bumped his body against the candy bar, and swallowed it.

The so-called "mouth" is actually just the depression that appears on the body when the dumpling sucks the candy into the body.

After wrapping the sweets inside, the depression returned to its original shape.

Yoshiyuki found this very unbelievable, but it was not incomprehensible. After all, some monsters also have such characteristics.

What really surprised Yoshiyuki was that Danzimon can be eaten repeatedly. And each dumpling beast has its own unique fillings. For example, the one in the hands of the beast-ear girl is stuffed with orange.

Only the skin tastes like normal dumpling skin.

They feel no pain, and will heal quickly after being partially eaten, and their size will shrink accordingly.

After the dumplings become smaller due to being partially eaten, they can regain their size by eating sweets. But when cut in half, it doesn't become two.

In addition, Dango will not excrete sweet food after eating it, but will break it down completely.

According to Beast Erniang, dumplings all grow from a fantasy plant called dumpling flower.

Some dumplings have animal ears, which is very rare. An even rarer type is the one with wings. Like the Winged Man, it can summon its wings or make them disappear at any time.

As for what wild dumplings eat, naturally they mainly eat honey and fruits.

Additionally, some plants will produce sweet fruit-like growths.

You can also eat what they produce.

Yi Xing felt his chest being rubbed by Tuanzi in his arms, and the more he listened, the more moved he became.

He felt that such a cute and healing pet must be owned by a young lady who has loved dumplings for more than ten years!
