Chapter 9: Midday Rest
Today’s lunch for the cubs was white steamed buns, salt and pepper Moo-Moo Beast ribs, garlic baby cabbage, and Oh-Oh Beast bone soup.
There was also fruit after the meal, which seemed to be called Red Sweet Fruit.
It was a mutated version of Earth’s apples.
As mentioned before, plants in the interstellar era, after impurities are removed, not only taste as good as the top ingredients on Earth once did, but also contain immense spiritual energy. They are delicious, gentle, nourishing, and unimaginably cheap.
For cubs, they are perfectly suited.
Jiang Yuxi couldn’t help but exclaim once again: It truly is a good era.
The lunch prepared by Robot One One in the morning left every child with a round belly. When Zhu Xia left the cafeteria, he clung to Robot One One reluctantly, “Robot One One, that meat with bones was so delicious, can we have it again tomorrow?”
Zhu Xia was dragged out of the cafeteria by the collar of his shirt by the stern-faced Class Monitor.
Director Jiang had said that after lunch, she would take the students to the amusement park for a while.
This was called extracurricular activity.
For children on Earth, it’s not advisable to be active after eating too much, but this doesn’t apply to these beast-human cubs.
Beast-human cubs are in their developmental stage and have a great demand for spiritual energy.
For beast-human cubs who haven't started cultivating, the way to obtain spiritual energy is through continuous food intake. Appropriate physical activity after meals makes it easier for beast-human cubs to absorb the spiritual energy from their food.
The playground is open-air, and currently only has swings, seesaws, slides, and trampolines available. Others are still under construction.
This playground was designed after she repeatedly watched “I Am a Glorious Kindergarten Student” and “the diary of a genius cub, binbin's growth”.
After careful consideration, she finally decided on the facilities for the play area.
In addition to the above facilities, she also plans to refine carousels, cartoon cars, luxurious Ferris wheels, mini roller coasters, mini mechs, mini spaceships, and of course, most importantly, an Interstellar adventure castle… These large amusement facilities will take at least three months to be fully refined and put into use.
However, even just the swings, seesaws, slides, and trampolines were enough to surprise these little cubs from Aisite Star who hadn’t seen much of the world.
The entire playground is composed of large and small formations, and the driving force for each amusement facility is spiritual energy.
In other words, Jiang Yuxi used formations to replace Interstellar intelligent programs, and spiritual energy to replace energy and switches.
In the Interstellar, this is truly an environmentally friendly energy source, inexhaustible and inexhaustible.
Currently, beast-human cubs cannot use spiritual energy, so Jiang Yuxi has to control the spiritual energy to entertain the children. Based on the aptitude of this group of students, they will probably be able to drive spiritual energy themselves to play within a month.
Coincidentally, three months later will be the annual Interstellar life skills competition, and by then, the Kindergarten will be fully on track, and Interstellar live streaming can begin.
There are still many Kindergarten Interstellar competitions this year, in addition to live stream judge and audience voting competitions, there are also virtual network entries, and on-site entries.
The life skills competition three months from now means that she has to cultivate the students into all-around excellent cubs, even more powerful than Sasha and Nono on Star Network TV!
The first-place prize is ten million! Even the last place gets a prize of 100,000.
Plus the rewards received from live streaming!
With good luck, one competition could clear her debts!
The current facilities of the playground seemed very rudimentary to her, yet in the eyes of the cubs who had little entertainment, they held immense appeal.
After all, Aisite Star's entertainment resources were too scarce.
She needed to quickly refine all the planned entertainment facilities for the playground.
The soft, cute, and well-behaved students must have a super abundance of entertainment facilities and toys!
Jiang Yuxi secretly made up her mind.
The nap bell rang, and led by the class monitor Hei Mo, the students lined up in an orderly fashion, reluctantly walking towards the dormitories.
During the students’ nap time, she entrusted the discipline to the class monitor Hei Mo, feeling very confident. After all, although the ages of the students were similar, Hei Mo was already very good at managing his classmates.
Moreover, Robot One One was there to assist and ensure the students' safety. She only planned to accompany the cubs during nap time for the first week, mainly to confirm that the class monitor and Robot One One could handle the job.
As mentioned before school started, every cub enrolled would receive their own Interstellar Cub Sleep Aid Bed.
“The Cub Sleep Aid Bed can quickly help cubs enter a state of sleep. Are you still anxious and exhausted today due to your cub’s boundless energy? Not three hours, not two hours, not even one hour, just one Cub Sleep Aid Bed, and in a mere half-hour, you will have a cub sleeping soundly.”
The above is the original advertisement. It is said that this advertisement was adapted from a real event.
Beast-human cubs are extremely energetic. Parents have tried every possible method to get their cubs to sleep soundly.
In a certain unofficial forum competition, three parents’ cub “lulling to sleep” videos only took one, two, and three hours! This kept the three parents’ votes far in the lead.
However, before the end of the competition, an ordinary video, titled “Cub Sleep Aid Bed Developed by the Company, Only Takes Half an Hour to Fall Asleep,” came from behind and won the championship.
This was experimental video data about the group's newly developed Cub Sleep Aid Bed, inadvertently posted by an Erwin Group researcher on his social platform. It was discovered by sharp-eyed netizens and posted on the forum.
The Cub Sleep Aid Bed became popular from then on, requiring no further promotion.
The sleep aid beds Jiang Yuxi prepared for the cubs were all hung with exclusive wooden plaques, made from leftover wood scraps from building the Kindergarten. The front bore the cub’s name, and the back was carved with a formation to help the cub filter out radiation pollution and absorb spiritual energy.
Perhaps it was due to the excessive energy consumption of today's body tempering (and) Physical Education, or the remarkable effect of the sleep aid beds, but the cubs fell asleep quickly without needing to be coaxed.
After the nap, even the most obedient cub might feel disoriented waking up in an unfamiliar environment.
At this time, the small snacks she prepared came in handy.
Sunshine brand homemade dried meat.
Five-spice flavor, mainly considering that some cubs might not be able to eat spicy food.
The recipe originated from charcoal-grilled pork jerky on Earth.
Fresh lean meat, soaked in collected spiritual dew for three hours to remove impurities and improve texture and flavor. Then sliced thinly, seasoned with appropriate spices, mixed evenly, and marinated overnight. The next day, the marinated meat slices were slow-roasted on an iron grill, and honey was brushed on when they were half-cooked.
The surface of the roasted jerky was slightly blackened, with a translucent luster.
One bite revealed a firm texture, full of fiber, yet exceptionally tender and not dry.
The unique smoky flavor of charcoal, the sweetness of honey, combined with the top-grade meat flavor of Interstellar exotic beasts infused with spiritual energy.
It truly made the little cubs howl with delight.
Paired with the peach-flavored cub spiritual liquid she refined.
The perfect afternoon tea double, it firmly captured the hearts of the cubs.
It seems that no matter how much genetic fusion and modification occurred, beast-humans are still the former humans of Earth, with the same tastes as before.
