The wetlands were truly abundant with crayfish. Lu Wanqing had caught quite a few in a short while, and Xiao Yi had also gathered a good number. Lu Wanqing glanced at the crayfish wriggling in the bag, then looked up at Xiao Yi, who was diligently catching them beside her. A brilliant smile bloomed on her delicate and beautiful face.
"Mommy, we've caught a lot!" Little Zhongli Yi also looked and said happily.
Lu Wanqing nodded, then surveyed the vast area around them. Upon closer inspection, crayfish were indeed everywhere, a treasure trove.
"Alright, we'll catch this much for now. We can come back another time if we get the chance," Lu Wanqing said. Although she desperately wanted to scoop up all the crayfish and cook them, her reason held her back. There were too many crayfish here, and she and Xiao Yi were only two people; they wouldn't be able to finish them all.
Little Zhongli Yi looked at his mommy in confusion. He didn't understand why Mommy wanted to catch these creatures, which were considered insectoids in this era. However, he was obedient and agreed after a moment's thought: "Okay."
"Let's go and check out the forest area to see if we can find a suitable spot to set up camp," Lu Wanqing said excitedly next.
Lu Wanqing led the little one towards the forest. The distance was neither close nor far. However, having been confined on the spaceship for so long in its cramped space, the mother and son welcomed the opportunity to walk.
As they walked, they could also glance at the bullet comments and see what the viewers in the live stream were discussing.
It was only then that Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered that she and Xiao Yi were still live-streaming, with many interstellar citizens watching them.
Crayfish were considered insectoids in the interstellar era, and many people feared them. Lu Wanqing predictably saw comments on the screen expressing fear of insectoids and their confusion about her and Xiao Yi catching crayfish.
"Ah, is Goddess looking at the comments? Goddess, look at me, look at me, quickly look at me!!!"
Seeing Lu Wanqing check the comments, a viewer immediately got excited and posted a new comment, desperately trying to attract attention.
Just then, the live stream was suddenly inundated with beautiful gift effects, overpowering the comments trying to grab attention.
Lu Wanqing saw that the donor was named Cui Cui and was briefly stunned before smiling. Her heart melted, and she said, "Thank you, Little Cui Cui, for the gifts, but please don't spend too much~"
Responding to Lu Wanqing was a second, even more dazzling gift effect. The giver was a stranger named "I Super Love Mommy."
Lu Wanqing blinked slightly, and in that instant, she realized her live stream had exploded with effects. All sorts of gift effects were suddenly appearing everywhere. There were several donors, Little Cui Cui, I Super Love Mommy, Little Lan Lan. Amidst the dense array of gift effects, there were also donations from other unfamiliar netizens, including one named Xiao Shushu, who seemed a bit timid.
Xiao Shushu was also gifting, but she didn't seem as wealthy as her other siblings and only gave a small amount.
Lu Wanqing's heart softened completely at the actions of these children. These were all her little ones, so well-behaved and adorable.
But who was "I Super Love Mommy"?
Lu Wanqing felt she shouldn't overthink it, but her heart couldn't help but wonder. Could it be the space pirate cub?
If the red-haired cub she saw on the interstellar net was truly her space pirate cub, then this child must also love his mommy very much. It wouldn't be strange for him to join the live stream if she was broadcasting.
Perhaps if the other children were gifting, that child would follow suit.
The more Lu Wanqing thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Considering the child's personality, she suddenly felt that if he had the money, that cub might indeed be very excited to gift her!
As she mused, Lu Wanqing quickly scanned the list of gift-givers and thanked each of them individually, gently advising them that she was happy they enjoyed the stream and didn't need to spend money on gifts.
Lu Wanqing wanted to teach the children self-control and not to waste money on the live stream, but after she finished thanking them, the children once again showered her with a massive wave of gifts. The donation screen of the live stream was completely occupied by effects, and their lead inspired many other casual viewers to also donate, creating a spectacular scene.
Lu Wanqing felt helpless but figured that since those children came from families with good financial standing, they probably wouldn't be too short on money.
She didn't dwell on the matter further and instead smiled, introducing ancient Earth cuisine to everyone, especially crayfish. This delicacy, from over three thousand years ago on ancient Earth, was irresistible to most people worldwide. It was incredibly delicious!
Upon hearing her words, many viewers in the live stream went into a frenzy and typed frantically, quickly filling the comment section with dense text.
"Food? Delicious? Is Goddess trying to trick us?"
"Exactly, the people of ancient Earth considered insectoids as food? That's too crazy!"
"Ahhh, I don't believe it, I don't believe it. This is too terrifying. How can insectoids be food? So scary!!!"
Lu Wanqing glanced at the comments and couldn't help but chuckle. She looked up at the camera of the recording sphere and said with a smile, "I'm not lying to you, it's true. Crayfish were once abundant in our era. They would damage farmland, but they didn't remain abundant for long because people quickly discovered their value: making them into delicious food. They were exceptionally tasty."
"I won't listen, I won't listen! Goddess must be lying, this is impossible, it's all fake!!!" The comments continued to flood in, generating a lively atmosphere as the viewers' understanding of the world was shattered.
"Mommy, do people in your era really eat insectoids?" At this moment, Little Zhongli Yi also looked up and asked his mommy curiously.
Lu Wanqing turned her gaze to her child, her heart filled with tenderness. She gently explained, "Not exactly insectoids. Crayfish... in our era, they were just ordinary creatures, not as terrifying as the insectoids of your time."
Little Zhongli Yi listened, somewhat dazed. He was still a bit confused and didn't fully grasp his mommy's words, but he nodded in agreement: "Mm."
Lu Wanqing ruffled her child's hair, then looked up at the live stream camera and couldn't help but smile as she explained to the viewers again, "What I said is true. Crayfish have many preparations, and all of them are delicious. Many people really enjoy them. Later, it was only through human cultivation that the market demand could be barely met."
The bullet comments in the live stream once again scrolled by rapidly, but this time, the content was unexpectedly uniform, consisting entirely of ellipses.
Lu Wanqing and Xiao Yi walked for a long time before finally reaching the edge of the forest. She held her child's hand and carefully climbed a high ridge. Seeing dry land above, without water, she breathed a sigh of relief. They could set up camp.
At this moment, the previously quiet comment section slowly drifted out a new message.
"Ancient Earth humans are really amazing. Everyone, do you think that in that era, there were no insectoids because humans ate them all before they could develop?"
