Ch70 – Live Broadcast : Sampling the Strange – Part 1

When He Yun Yi rushed to the 19th planet, it was already two days later. Aside from himself, he also brought two assistants. He Yun Chen personally drove the car to pick him up together with Ruan Tang.

“Water monster, where are those water monsters you mentioned?” He Yun Yi had just got in the car but he already couldn’t help but ask.

In He Yun Yi’s mind, these monsters that have left the people of the 19th planet emotionally strained were already delicious natural ingredients. After they’ve been checked out to be safe by the equipment, they could be turned into delicious dishes!

This never before seen rainstorm continued for an entire day and night. Although the rain had stopped, there were still a lot of water left all over. The local garrison was using pumping equipment to drive out all the water monsters.

“That is the water monster.” Ruan Tang pointed to a monster crab that had just leapt out from the water below.

“Oh! It’s so big!” He Yun Yi’s eyes suddenly brightened. With that size, you were sure to be able to extract a lot of meat!

“These monsters usually live in the sea. This heavy rain allowed them to follow the overflowing water into the city. They’re very aggressive and reproduce easily. They occupy almost every body of water on the 19th planet. If they’re not controlled, they will soon pose a threat to the planet’s residents. But once these monsters are confirmed to be edible and safe ingredients, these difficulties will be solved.” In his past life Ruan Tang had seen the crayfish, who many claimed were a danger to the ecological environment because of their startling reproductive ability, almost eaten up to the point of extinction. In the end they could only rely on artificial breeding. Therefore, if these monsters could be eaten, this problem would be easier to solve and it will bring new business opportunities to this backwards 19th planet.

“Well, let’s go check it out!” He Yun Yi couldn’t wait!

Ruan Tang looked at He Yun Chen. He Yun Chen obviously knew something of his brother’s excitable nature, so he nodded slightly and drove to the beach.

The car was parked on top of an elevated hill and everyone got off the car together. With the help of the two assistants, He Yun Yi assembled the testing equipment he brought. He Yun Chen changed into a protective suit, which allowed him to move freely in the water and resist the attack of the monsters. His weapon was still the light blade dagger. Fully recharged, it was as sharp as ever.

“I’ll be going.”

As soon as He Yun Chen stepped onto the beach, there were dark shadows that started to stir restlessly in the water. When his feet had just stepped into the water, a huge and incomparably ugly monster crab jumped out, brandishing its sharp claws. It launched it’s attack in He Yun Chen’s direction.

He Yun Chen calmly sidestepped this attack. With a wave of his light blade dagger, he chopped off its large claws and eight legs and brought to them the spoils.

He Yun Yi was already waiting. He immediately carried out a detailed inspection of the mutilated water monster. Every organ was inspected, and even the thick hard shell was pried opened. It was thoroughly inspected, not a single thing was omitted. The monster crab could only issue out a faint moan that grew weaker and weaker. It was completely weak, pitiful and helpless. He Yun Yi even asked He Yun Chen to extract some water samples for testing. No problems were found. Not only that, but the water quality was even quite good, containing many trace elements.

“No toxins or any harmful substances were found. This water monster should be edible. I just don’t know how to eat it.” He Yun Yi concluded that the water monster was edible, but the shell of the monster was too hard. And even after peeling it off, the structure inside was also very complicated. It was too much effort to eat the meat inside.

“Let me worry about that. Big Brother He, you can just look forward to eating it.” In his mind, Ruan Tang had already began to plan how to cook these monster crabs — fried crabs, steamed crabs, crab casseroles, curry crabs, spicy crabs… Just thinking about it was making him drool.

“Alright, I will wait for a delicious treat!” Any ingredient that passes through Ruan Tang’s hands could be turned into delicious dishes. At this moment, He Yun Yi suddenly had high expectations for this water monster.

He Yun Chen went to the beach again. This time, his entire person entered into the water. He brought back a deep red strip-shaped water monster. Its body was also wrapped in a hard shell. It had five pairs of legs and a pair of especially large claws.

When Ruan Tang saw this monster, his eyes went wide. Isn’t this a lobster?! It was even bigger than the Australian lobster he had eaten in his previous life!

In his mind, a series of menus popped up — herb-roasted lobster, cheese lobster, garlic steamed lobster, creamy lobster…

He Yun Chen handed the lobster to He Yun Yi for testing, and then he went down to the sea again. This time he dove deeper.

Seeing that five minutes have passed but He Yun Chen had yet to come out, Ruan Tang couldn’t help but feel anxious. “Big Brother He, why hasn’t Chen Ge come out yet? Could something have happened to him?”

“Is it even possible for anything to happen to him? Don’t worry, he’s wearing a protective suit, even if he stays under the water for two hours, he’ll be fine.” He Yun Yi didn’t even lift his head. He was focused on the inspection work.

Ruan Tang felt a little more reassured, but he still kept his eyes in the direction of the sea.

After another ten minutes, there was some movement on the surface of the sea. Huge waves rolled over. It seemed like a tsunami, and Ruan Tang and the others on land were shocked. After waiting for the water to calm down, He Yun Chen emerged out of the water, dragging a soft, unidentified object in his hand. When he slowly walked ashore, Ruan saw it more clearly. It was a huge eight-legged octopus!

“God! This monster is too ugly! How can this be eaten?!” He Yun Yi had a clear look at the water monster, and immediately revealed a disgusted expression.

This water monster octopus was dark purple. Its color looked very strange. Its huge head and several long tentacles were covered with small bumps, and the inner side of its arms had two rows of suckers. It was ingeniously ugly. He really couldn’t connect this kind of thing with food.

“This should also be edible.” Although he was shocked by the giant octopus, Ruan Tang still had to concede that though it looked ugly, it could still be eaten.

“This, this stuff can also be eaten?” He Yun Yi looked strangely at Ruan Tang. He felt a bit nervous. He couldn’t imagine anything delicious coming out from this hideous monster. Just looking at it would kill everyone’s appetites.

“Yes!” Not only could it be eaten, but it was also delicious.

In Ruan Tang’s mind, he began to come up with various ways to cook octopus – fried octopus, saucy octopus, octopus balls, braised octopus, Korean spicy octopus… Don’t blame him. The food on Earth during his past life had been deeply engraved into his heart.

Later, they found a large number of scallops and oyster shellfishes in the underwater rocky layer. Each was quite large in size. These creatures weren’t aggressive and they were all edible and safe food!

Ruan Tang was very happy. The ocean of the 19th planet was an endless treasure trove. There were so many marine creatures living here, saving the Academy of Sciences from having to restore them.

They harvested a lot of ingredients and filled the entire car. The big octopus was tied to the roof.

The people returned to the villa they were renting in a majestic fashion. Because there was a “water monster” on top of the car, the garrison troops almost thought that the water monster had grabbed a car and attacked the human world. The water here had been drained, and the water monsters had also receded from here, so the residents here were also back. The huge octopus tied to their car roof suddenly made their neighbors extremely tense. Only when they clearly saw that there was no threat, did they dare to breathe a sigh of relief.

“God! What huge monsters! They brought the giant monsters back!”

“Shouldn’t these be dead?”

“No, the car seems to have stopped at Mr. Ruan’s house…”

“What use does Mr. Ruan have for these water monster?”

“I don’t know… Should we go and have a look?”

Ruan Tang had lived here for a few days. Every day, he would be cooking meals here and there would be a variety of tempting fragrances everywhere. The neighbors living near their home naturally noticed it. Therefore, they knew a little bit about Ruan Tang; about the fact that he was a gourmet food anchor and that he had amazing culinary skills.

A neighbor came over and asked from afar, “Mr. Ruan, are you…?”

“This is the president of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, He Yun Yi, who came to the 19th planet for safety testing. These monsters have been identified as edible and safe ingredients.” The fact that these water monsters were identified as edible wasn’t confidential, so he told them directly.

“What? Edible ingredients?”

“The Academy of Sciences?”

“Seriously?”

When they heard this, everyone began to suspect that they had heard it wrong. They looked at each other and were amazed. Even the soldiers who stayed behind couldn’t help but cast furtive looks.

These were water monsters that had plagued them for countless generations. Who knew how much trouble they’ve caused? And they were so fierce, so much so that the 19th star was quite afraid of them.

And now, Ruan Tang said… They could be eaten??

How could these hideous and fearsome things be eaten? Maybe they were poisonous! Maybe they would cause damage to their stomachs! Or… this could simply be their way to live as parasites in humans!

For a time, everyone couldn’t help but take a step back or two, their eyes guarded – these monsters unexpectedly had such a terrible scheme!

Seeing everyone’s distrust, Ruan Tang couldn’t help but laugh. When he finishes cooking, they’ll know whether these would taste good or not. “I will cook these monsters in the yard for a while. If you’re interested, you can come and watch.”

These monsters were too big to be handled in the kitchen, so he was going to set up a simple stove in the yard of the villa to cook, and broadcast it live so that more people would come to know that these monsters could be eaten. It would reverse their impression of these water monsters.

Before He Yun Yi came, Ruan Tang specially asked him to make some special large-scale kitchen utensils. This was in order to be able to open these incomparably tough shells of the variant king crabs. He made an inventory of things and then went on the Star Network to purchase the other ingredients and spices needed from the shopping mall.

The speed of the express delivery was still as fast as ever. After receiving the express delivery, the He brothers helped Ruan Tang to build a simple stove in the yard. The inhabitants of the 19th planet were still staying far away. They didn’t dare get too close and just watched their movements. They couldn’t help but feel a bit apprehensive. This kind of attitude, don’t tell me those monsters could really be eaten?

Thinking about the many wounds they had received from these monsters, the citizens of the 19th planet felt a dull pain around their ankles.

This was too scary! These monsters must not be eaten! Even if you could them, they must probably taste so bad that you’d explode!

It must be like this!

After getting ready, Ruan Tang started the live broadcast.

“Hello, everyone, I am the anchor, Ruan Tang. Today I want to bring you spicy crab, cheese lobster, garlic scallops, grilled oysters and saucy octopus.”

[Miao Miao loves to eat all the dishes of the anchor: ah ah ah, Anchor, you finally started broadcasting! All my flowers have wilted from the long wait! I heard that there were heavy rains on the 19th planet. Is the anchor okay?!]

[Cold honey: Right, right! I heard there were many water monsters on the 19th planet! Be careful, Anchor!]

[Can’t stop hugging trees: Hey? Is this a new ingredient?]

[Idol Worshipper YOGA: God! So many dishes?!]

“Yes, these are new ingredients.” He displayed a mysterious smile. “So, first, we will make spicy crabs.”
