"An Le, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"I’ll listen to whatever Xiao Huan wants～"

In the South District, inside a large supermarket, Yan Huan looked at the bass swimming in the tank and showed a thoughtful expression.

"How about we steam a fish tonight?"

"Sure～"

Behind her, An Le nodded compliantly with a big smile on her face.

"And maybe stir-fry a couple of small dishes..."

"Sure～"

"Also, the drinks at home..."

"Sure～"

"..."

Yan Huan pushed the cart, looking at An Le’s back, and couldn’t help but swallow.

All the way here, she hadn’t bought anything, just tested the waters, suggesting something, and An Le always nodded in agreement. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This made Yan Huan feel an increasing subtle pressure, so she reached out and tapped An Le on the shoulder,

"An Le, don’t you want to buy something?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, An Le turned around and smiled slightly,

"Don’t worry, Xiao Huan, I have things I want to buy～"

"Phew, that’s good..."

But even with that, we’ve almost reached the entrance and I still haven’t seen you choose anything.

Are you planning to go outside the supermarket...

"Heave-ho... heave-ho..."

No sooner had the words left her mouth than Yan Huan looked up to see An Le at the checkout counter, sweeping her hand and in the surprised eyes of the cashier, sweeping an entire row of Infant Disposal Devices into the cart.

So that’s what you wanted to buy?!

Are you stocking up?!

"We still have... we still have at home!!"

"Uh, no... not enough..."

"Not enough?!"

Yan Huan darkened her face, covering An Le’s mouth with a look of grievance, and instructed the cashier to check out everything else.

"Beep... 186..."

After paying, Yan Huan carried a big bag and dragged the teary-eyed An Le out of the supermarket.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

While An Le looked downcast, the little snake on her shoulder showed its form, playfully flicking its tongue,

"It’s just that she didn’t spend half the summer with you. Wouldn’t you feel better thinking about Tong Yingying?"

"Um... maybe a little..."

Hearing this, Yan Huan’s face darkened, and she glanced at Little Thumb.

Feeling Yan Huan’s gaze, Little Thumb brazenly glared back,

"What’s up, daring to glare at me?! Well, then I have to mention the smell on you today..."

"Speaking of which, I now have some thoughts on how to keep the form after dealing with the modifier..."

"I was wrong, brother. Scold me, I beg you～"

"..."

How to put it, Yan Huan always thought Little Thumb sitting at the same table as Meow.

After experiencing the world line crossing, Meow had already taken on a humanoid shape, while Little Thumb couldn’t even sit at the kids’ table and had to lie on the floor to eat.

Can you imagine a modifier becoming so useless that it’s outmatched on all fronts?

The so-called most unique intelligent modifier turned out to be less than an index finger with AI skill points.

The so-called intelligence about all modifications ended up with the ring finger’s Causal Law Bomb information from the index finger.

The so-called ability to penetrate all forms of resistance was still trampled by the power of the Big Thumb.

The so-called host with the weakest power, yet constantly gets carried by An Le...

Ha ha.

Even standing from resolving the modifier’s angle, Yan Huan sometimes wanted to laugh speechlessly on behalf of the Evil God.

"You’re just..."

Seeing Little Thumb pleading without any spine, An Le smiled helplessly, reaching out to let it climb up.

"Master An Le, remember when you’re at home, I’m the one who helps you take care of the reptiles! I also help you draw backgrounds, I’m your comic assistant! When your dad asked what you did before, you used me as a cover... I’m a big faithful servant!"

"Alright, alright, you’re giving me a headache..."

Walking ahead, Yan Huan couldn’t help but smile watching An Le rub Little Thumb’s head from the corner of his eye.

Actually, he knew An Le had always liked these exotic pets since she was little, just like he likes black cats.

Having such a talking pet as company is indeed a bit of a blessing.

As long as the modifier issue is resolved, it’s all good.

As for what to do, Yan Huan had a thought after merging with Meow...

"Click～"

"Long time no see, I’m back..."

Not long after, they returned to the housing unit. Even though there was no one inside, An Le still smiled and greeted the house.

Then, she skillfully put on her slippers and went to the stove to take out the ingredients she bought.

Seeing An Le going to cook, Little Thumb flashed over to the front of the TV.

Just as it was about to take the remote control with its tongue, a much smaller black kitten stepped on it first with its paw pad.

"Meow?"

"...Hey, why did you get so small?"

"None of your business, meow, I want to watch TV!"

"Huh?"

On the table, the cat and the snake continued their daily squabble, while Yan Huan started cleaning up.

Meanwhile, he opened the Crab Coins page, checking the tasks and updates.

Tonight is the weekly draw time.

Crab Coins, Crab Coins...

According to calculations, it will take three more months to save up enough.

Right now, Yan Huan is like someone who put something they want badly but can’t afford into their shopping cart, and checks the app daily, determined to buy it one day.

"Alright, come eat～"

Dinner was quick to prepare since the ingredients were mostly prepped in the supermarket.

"Okay..."

Yan Huan rubbed his hands and sat down, but An Le didn’t sit across as usual; she pulled a chair to sit next to Yan Huan.

"Here, let me serve you some rice, Xiao Huan～"

Feeling her sit down and serve him rice, Yan Huan’s body tensed up involuntarily.
