Xiao Zhong Liyi was a little confused when he heard this. He looked at the barrage blankly and found that the entire screen was filled with "hahaha." Everyone was laughing, which made him even more confused. Had he done something wrong?
However, Mommy had said that he only needed to answer a few questions, not every single one. He breathed a sigh of relief. There had been so many questions earlier, he almost couldn't answer them, and he had become nervous without realizing it.
"Okay," Xiao Zhong Liyi thought and turned to look at his Mommy, agreeing.
"Wuwuwu, don't agree, Xiao Yi! You have to answer our questions! Be good, don't learn bad things from your Mommy~"
"Exactly, don't learn this kind of thing from your Mommy. You should look at us more. We are really curious and have so many, many questions to ask you. Can you just obediently answer our questions, okay?"
"Don't worry if there are too many questions, we can take them one by one. Anyway, if today passes, there's tomorrow. If tomorrow passes, there's the day after. We have plenty of time~"
The barrage section was full of laughter, everyone was teasing Xiao Yi. Xiao Zhong Liyi was still young and naive, but now he belatedly realized that everyone was deliberately joking with him and teasing him.
The little guy suddenly became a bit sulky, his small face fell, and he stared unhappily at the barrage interface. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't.
Lu Wanqing saw this, raised her hand, and gently rubbed the top of the little guy's head, smiling as she said, "Don't be angry. Everyone just wants to play with you, they don't mean any harm."
Xiao Yi was initially unhappy, but after hearing his Mommy's words, the anger in his heart inexplicably disappeared. He looked back at the barrage interface, his expression returning to calm.
The viewers in the live stream saw this, and the barrage section was once again filled with "hahaha." Many people were praising Xiao Yi for being cute. Xiao Yi's serious demeanor was really endearing, and his sulky look when he realized he was being teased was also super cute, making people want to pet him!
As more and more people joked, Lu Wanqing found it amusing. She turned to look at Xiao Yi and said, "Xiao Yi, let's move the lounge chairs to the second-floor balcony. We'll go catch lobsters later and make something delicious."
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up at the mention of this, and he instantly forgot his annoyance at being teased by the live stream viewers. He immediately nodded happily: "Mhm!!"
Lu Wanqing and Xiao Yi carried the lounge chairs to the second-floor balcony together. Two lounge chairs were placed side by side on the balcony.
Lu Wanqing suddenly realized that they might also need a table to place on the second-floor balcony, so they could put the lobsters on it in the evening for her and Xiao Yi to eat.
"Let's make a table too," Lu Wanqing thought and said to herself.
"Huh?" Xiao Zhong Liyi looked confused, looking at his Mommy with a puzzled expression.
Lu Wanqing turned to look at Xiao Yi and said happily, "Let's go. We need to be fast. We should still have time."
Making a table wasn't difficult; it could be done quickly. If they were fast, they should be able to finish the table before dark. As for dinner, a slightly later meal shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Lu Wanqing acted on her thoughts immediately. Soon, she took Xiao Yi out. She selected a few large trees, chopped them down, and processed them into smooth wooden boards.
The small table on the balcony didn't need to be very large; it just needed to be able to hold two plates of lobsters. Therefore, the wooden boards she processed were not very long.
For the table legs, four simple wooden pieces would suffice.
Lu Wanqing processed the materials and, in two trips, brought them back to the house. She directly moved the materials to the second-floor balcony, then took out her tools and began assembling.
After assembling the tabletop, she inexplicably took out her tools again and polished the four corners, shaping them into beautiful ovals, smooth and pretty.
"It's done!" Xiao Yi looked at the finished product and said happily.
The table was simple, but Xiao Yi felt that his Mommy was amazing. They had nothing out here, yet Mommy could easily make all sorts of tools. Mommy seemed to know how to do everything, she was so amazing!
"Yes, it's done!" Lu Wanqing was also happy.
They had the table and the lounge chairs. The next thing they needed were the lobsters!
"Let's go catch lobsters! We're having a lobster feast tonight!!!" The next moment, Lu Wanqing packed away her tools and turned to Xiao Yi, saying excitedly.
Xiao Yi was also extremely happy and nodded vigorously: "Mhm!"
The mother and son went downstairs together, carrying bags to catch lobsters.
In the Empire, the four ministers were in their respective homes, watching the live stream. They saw that Lu Wanqing had spent the entire day in the forest, chopping wood, making tables and chairs, cooking, and catching lobsters. She hadn't wandered around at all, and hadn't discovered His Majesty's treasure yet. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
The four ministers secretly prayed that Lu Wanqing would continue like this, chopping wood every day, catching lobsters when she had nothing else to do, eating her fill, and not going anywhere else. They hoped she would just wait for the rescue party to arrive and be rescued in the end.
As the ministers were filled with anticipation, they saw the barrage section of the live stream. Many people had activated the empathy mode, experiencing the feeling of catching lobsters alongside Lu Wanqing. They also felt a bit of an itch. Was catching lobsters really fun? Was it not scary at all?
The four ministers were all very old and would never go to the battlefield to fight the insectoids in their lifetime. Looking at the excited expressions of so many citizens in the barrage section, they couldn't help but feel a bit restless.
Just activating the empathy mode, the problem shouldn't be too big, right?
Even if it wasn't fighting insectoids on the battlefield, touching them through the screen wouldn't be bad?
Besides, they were anonymously watching the live stream from the Federation through a backdoor. Even if they activated empathy mode, no one would know, right?
The four ministers thought no one knew and secretly activated empathy mode.
In fact, no one did notice that the four old ministers of the Empire had secretly infiltrated Lu Wanqing's live stream and were secretly activating empathy mode to experience catching insectoids. This was because so many people were activating empathy mode today. With the experience from the previous few times, many netizens were no longer afraid and were even looking forward to it.
Some netizens who were initially afraid saw that many of their friends had activated empathy mode, and everyone said it wasn't scary and was fun, so they mustered up the courage and activated empathy mode.
What was there to be afraid of in catching lobsters?
If there was, it would only last for three seconds. After experiencing it for three seconds, they would realize that it was nothing special. Lobsters don't eat people; on the contrary, once caught, they can't escape and will soon be cooked into a delicious meal!
Some netizens had completely adapted and were even directing Lu Wanqing to catch lobsters in the fields, pointing out which ones were bigger, which ones were prettier, and which ones looked more delicious.
The barrage section was filled with dense comments. No one was talking about being afraid of insectoids anymore. Everyone was laughing and even discussing how to cook the lobsters tonight!
Some people couldn't eat too spicy food and preferred the five-spice flavor!
Some people particularly liked spicy food and were huge fans of spicy crayfish!
