Chapter 2042: Stuffed and Lazy
Little Taotie shook the pen, her big eyes full of innocence: "I drew it by copying that."
Fox Dog: "Woof woof woof—" Clearly totally unrelated, doesn’t look like it at all.
Hua Jinyan frowned.
If someone else could draw in her place, he wouldn’t have Little Taotie do it.
Little Taotie sighed: "Then I’ll redraw it."
"Woof woof woof—" Even if you redraw it a hundred times, it probably still won’t work!
Maybe hearing the distrust in Little Dog’s barking, Little Taotie pinched its ear: "Relax, it’ll work eventually. Failure is the mother of success."
Before Little Taotie could jab the needle down, Hua Jinyan reached out to stop her.
"You don’t trust me either?" Little Taotie lifted her eyes, a hint of hurt flashing through them.
"That’s not it."
Hua Jinyan handed her a box of paint: "First use the paint on paper. Once it looks similar enough, then try using blood."
He was a little worried Little Taotie might lose too much blood.
Little Taotie pressed her lips together and hummed: "Still not trusting me. If I manage to succeed but it’s only painted with paint on paper, I’ll regret it to death."
"Woof woof woof—" That’s still better than you bleeding out and dying!
"Stop barking!" Little Taotie punished Dog Head with a rough rub on his head.
Even though Little Taotie was stubborn, in the end she still used paint on paper.
Hovering between ruined and decent drawings, after wasting thirty sheets of paper, Little Taotie finally began drawing as if inspired by the gods.
With the final touch to the eyes, the dragon-word-dragon-map-like drawing took shape, and a halo of light flashed past.
"Did it work?" Little Taotie asked, full of delight.
"Woof woof woof—" It finally worked!
Hua Jinyan nodded: "You can use blood to draw now."
Little Taotie rubbed her little hands together, ready to show off her skills.
Before she could prick herself for blood, Shen Cang came over holding a pizza.
Little Taotie instantly tossed the pen aside and rushed over, sweetly calling out: "Head Grandpa!"
Shen Cang patted her head: "Hungry?"
Her stomach cooperated by growling, and Little Taotie nodded hard.
Without realizing it, she had already been "drawing" for four hours.
Once she’d eaten and drunk her fill, Little Taotie didn’t want to move at all, lying lazily sprawled on the sofa.
The Fox Dog also took a bite of pizza, but human food was too salty for it, so in the end it wasn’t lucky enough to keep eating.
It barked beside Little Taotie’s ear, trying to remind her she could get back to work.
Little Taotie yawned, looking every bit like someone too full and satisfied to move.
While Little Taotie was eating pizza, Shen Cang took the chance to learn from Hua Jinyan what had happened during this time.
Upon learning there was a traitor inside the base, he didn’t feel surprised.
Anywhere with lots of people will invisibly generate unfairness. Some with good mentality might let it go, but some extreme ones will develop extreme thoughts, and betrayal is one of them.
"Head Grandpa, did the pork liver pizza come from the simulator?"
"Mm."
"You guys keep talking, I’m going to the simulator to fly a plane!"
Little Taotie had only run two steps before Shen Cang grabbed the back of her collar and hauled her back.
Little Taotie puffed up in anger: "I can’t even go fly a plane?"

Shen Cang pinched her nose, making the tip of her little nose turn red.
"You’re not going there to fly, you’re clearly going there to scam food and drink."
"I am not."
"After the pizza was done, I sent him back. So even if you flew a plane and got rewards, the rewards can only be cashed in tomorrow."
Little Taotie drooped her head: "Suddenly I don’t feel like flying anymore. I’m going to sleep for a bit."
The Fox Dog wouldn’t have it, biting her sleeve and shaking its body hard.
Little Taotie grabbed its little tail: "Quit it, I’m just sleeping for a bit. If I’m not rested enough, I’ll only produce failed drawings."
