Chapter 477 Late Night Snack
Chapter 477 Late Night Snack
Two days later.
Howard returned to the first room on the Wide Silence. He had deliberately sent Christina away today.
On the surface, the conversation with Antonio was fruitless. Perhaps from Christina's perspective, things had come to a standstill.
But Howard doesn't think so.
He got up early that day, changed his clothes, washed up, made a simple breakfast, and then continued reading. He also had a simple lunch, and after a short rest, he continued reading.
It was a rare moment of leisure, and the text Howard read this morning and afternoon was just as thick as his palm. Normally, Howard's reading speed was not so slow, but as mentioned before, this book was very difficult and boring.
After dinner, Howard did not continue reading, but sat on the bed and began to meditate. His daily routine today was very healthy. This was not because of his self-discipline, but because of a very realistic reason - there was no means of entertainment.
This miserable world was already short of entertainment. Since coming to this world, Howard had only seen playing cards or chess, and the only local entertainment activities he could accept were things like that. Most of the time, the residents here either had no entertainment, or their entertainment was somewhat bloody, violent, or decadent.
Then there is the Ohm Messiah. As an electronic product he used to use, Howard did not download any games into it at the beginning.
Of course, Ohm Messiah told Howard that if he really wanted to play video games, he could make one first.
But of course, this proposal was not accepted by Howard. First of all, the computing power of Ohm Messiah should not be used for this; secondly, Howard may not have time to play video games; finally, in this world, this form of entertainment is dangerous.
I sat on the bed doing nothing until late at night. This is the interior of the spacecraft, but it is the best living area. There are even artificial sunrises and sunsets in this area.
But now Howard didn't turn on the lights, the artificial sun had already set, and it was pitch black outside. It was undoubtedly late at night.
Howard, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, raised his head, opened his eyes, and got out of bed in the almost dark environment.
Nightstand…chair…wardrobe…desk…
Howard groped his way down the stairs and into the kitchen area.
Howard stood still in the darkness. Although he couldn't see anything clearly, according to his spatial memory, he should be facing the door of the refrigerator in the kitchen.
The room was silent except for the ticking of the mechanical clock on the wall.
"click"
According to Terra's 24-hour clock, it is just past 12 o'clock.
Howard reached forward in the darkness and, as expected, found the refrigerator door handle.
"You guessed I would come, so you were waiting for me, right?"
Hearing Hai Vian's voice from behind, Howard opened the refrigerator a little, and the light from inside seeped out. With this little light, Howard saw Hai Vian sitting on the windowsill and the falcon standing on her shoulder.
"That's not a hard thing to guess." Howard opened the refrigerator door completely. "Just like you guessed I guessed you would come."
With a soft "thump", Hai Wei'an jumped from the windowsill into the house. Then, she still held up the hem of her skirt and greeted Howard: "Hello again, Mr. Howard."
After saying hello, she sat on Howard's bed without any scruples.
"Second Terra, why are you interested in this?" Hai Wei'an said, "This is one of my assets. I can certainly tell you everything you want to know, but please give me a reason to tell you all this. Besides, sometimes knowing something means getting involved in something, which may not be a good thing for you."
While Hai Weiyan was saying this, Howard had already taken out the necessary ingredients from the refrigerator. Then he lit the energy heating stove, and a circle of faint red light emerged in the darkness.
"Wow! Are you making food?" Seeing Howard start cooking, Hai Wei'an couldn't sit still anymore. She teleported to Howard's side in a flash, and then stood at a distance from Howard where she could see clearly but not disturb him. Perhaps realizing that she had been a little impatient, she straightened her posture, cleared her throat, and said, "Mr. Howard, the light here is too dim for an unmodified human like you. Isn't it inconvenient for you?"
Then, without waiting for Howard to answer, Hai Weiyan snapped her fingers, and the lights in the room came on.
Howard was not influenced by Hai Wei'an, but continued with the established steps.
"Also, it's a bit too late for humans to eat at this time." But Hai Wei'an kept talking. "Although the damage this bad habit will cause to your lifespan and health is negligible compared to other things, it should still be avoided if conditions permit."
Howard didn't comment and continued cooking, but his behavior caused Hai Wei'an to misunderstand. The little girl shrank her neck and said, "Was I... a little long-winded just now?"
"Not really," Howard said. "On the contrary, I think what you said makes a lot of sense."
"That's good. I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble." Hai Weiyan nodded slightly and then closed her mouth.
But her silence didn't last long, and soon she asked again: "Well...if your food is ready...uh..."
"Your portion is among the food being prepared right now," Howard replied.
"Thank you." Hai Weiyan clapped her hands lightly to express her happiness and gratitude.
Based on the current information, Howard can basically conclude that this Hevian is actually a Necron disguised as a human.
The personalities of the Necrons are created by scanning past Necrontyrs. However, through the erosion of time and various accidents, various distortions and distortions will always occur. Therefore, some low-level Necrons that are not cared for will gradually lose their memories and personalities, becoming walking corpses that only obey orders. Only Necrons of higher status will receive better care and retain more distinct personalities.
Judging from Hai Wei'an's performance, she was probably so lively before she was transformed.
Secondly, she held a very high position in the Undead Dynasty she lived in, which is why her personality was preserved in this way.
Soon, Howard's food was ready. After it was taken out of the pot and placed on a plate, it was brought to Hai Wei'an who was sitting at the dining table.
As for himself, he simply opened a box of yogurt and sat opposite Hai Wei'an.
"You didn't prepare any food for yourself?" Hai Wei'an asked in confusion.
"You know I knew you would come to visit tonight, so I have been preparing for this moment." Howard pushed the food towards Hai Wei'an again: "Please taste my craftsmanship, it may surprise you."
