Sunny Beach
After bringing them the food, Old Wang and Old Li returned to prepare the materials.
The bunch of them were sitting on the beach, tanning under the warm spring sunlight that struck right on their skin. Liu Bei was drinking the ramen soup.
HmmâŠjust now, Brother LilâWhite and Sister Little Tian were talking about the job distribution in the manor. Everyone is asked to plant something.
After a moment of contemplating, he decided to plant some corn. Cao Cao was enjoying his char siu (barbecued pork) rice. As he stretched to loosen his muscles, a thought of planting broad beans came into his mind. Meanwhile, Sun Quan wondered while eating his luxurious bento.
Why must we plant vegetables? Canât we plant some flowers? If thatâs the case, Iâll plant cauliflowers. Itâs a flower and also a vegetable. Most importantly, it can be used to excrete oil. The food we had in the virtual world was a total torture! Saying that it was a hundred times more disgusting than shit is just an understatement.
âHey, Old Liu, can I have a tempura prawn from your ramenâŠâ
âHere. In return, I want that Golden Chicken Skin. Give me some,â Liu Bei and Sun Quan exchanged food.
âI want to eatâŠâ No waiting for Cao Cao to finish his sentence, Liu Bei shouted, âShut up and eat your rice! God damn it. You still dare to ask for food when you finished all the char siu and left only the rice?!â
âHow about exchanging rice with your ramen?â Cao Caoâs words totally earned himself nothing but a despised look from Liu Bei. With a sigh, Sun Quan passed him some minced meat and vegetables, âRemember to leave me a piece of char siu next time.â
Their interactions made SpyingBlade speechless.
Look at yourself. How dare you guys say Iâm gay? You look so sissy even when eating take-outs!
He then dug into his mixed rice.
âOld Zhao, Iâve got some bitter gourd here. Can I exchange them for some cucumbers with you?â Fang Ci hated bitter gourd since he was young.
ââŠâŠâ It felt as if a tight slap landed on SpyingBladeâs face. With a bitter smile, he exchanged the food with him.
I like bitter gourd anyways
. âLook at your sisterâŠâ
After doing the prayers according to the Elephant Religion rituals, Fang Tong ate the food with much gracefulness and kept on praising the Elephant and the religion.
Little Ye Tian frowned at the nine-dish bento. Except for white rice, I dislike everything here. Fermented bean curd, celery, Chameleon plant, cured meat, mung bean sprout, fried egg with Chinese Mahogany, and fried bee pupae, eww⊠Just then, Lin Leâs voice came out from nowhere, âBrother LilâWhite, Little Tian is being picky with the food! She is so naughty!â
This bento must have been ordered by that bastard Lele!
She frustratedly stuffed a large pile of food into her mouth.
âLittle Tian is eating well. Which part of it shows that she is naughty? Lele, give me one Overlord Rib.â
âBrother LilâWhite, but I only have two. I was planning on saving it till the last.â
âJust give me one, Iâll give you two beef slices. Quick.â
âOkaysâŠâ Lin Le reluctantly gave him a rib.
âCome and eat some fruits. I think the tree will fall if we donât pluck some of them. There are just too many of it.â Wu Na and Zhang Zhengxiong were carrying two large baskets of fruits in various colors and shapes.
âWhat should we do in the afternoon?â Sun Quan took a bite of the blue fruit.
âDonât ask me. I just want to lay on the beach for a quiet sunbath. Thereâs a hell-ranked war waiting for us tomorrowâŠâ Liu Bei laid on the warm beach and lit up a cigarette stick.
âMe too. I better think of some tactics and counter-attacks now since it is in the same rank with the Little Girlsâ Heaven. That fear of uncertainties is making me uncomfortable,â Cao Cao laid down and helped himself with a stick of cigar.
âIâll think that tomorrow, we shouldâŠâ Not giving the chance for Lin Liang to finish the sentence, the three of them glared at him with the you-better-shut-the-hell-up-before-we-beat-you-up expression. He then sighed with a flap of his feathered fan.
OkayâŠThey are like three Yuan Shao(s)âŠ
Huang Zhong was enjoying his Oden. As the saying goes âsave the best for lastâ, he was chewing the beef tendon slowly, allowing every single bit of the taste to trigger his taste buds.
Yes, this is the taste. Itâs so much better than any of those sold in the convenience stores!
Zuo Yiyi was observing him secretly.
He likes tendons! Iâll take note of itâŠ
The others were witnessing the battle between Zhao Xiangyu and RedMoon and Ye Cang commented after a glance, âXiangyu canât win against RedMoon.â
âHow do you know?â curiosity got the better of Wu Na while she was eating the fruit.
âYou can tell by just looking at their breaths. RedMoonâs breathing is slow and steady. She must have practiced very hard for that. The battle will end once she makes a move.â Just when Ye Cang finished his sentence, RedMoon claimed her victory easily with true enough, just one move. However, to her surprise, Zhao Xiangyuâs speed and attacks were so clean and precise to the extent that she was amazed.
âNot bad, even though this young ladyâs talent is average, she is hardworking. You can tell from her way of combat,â Sun Quan commented on Zhang Xiangyu. Cao Cao could not be bothered. âI had already won hundreds of battles when I was her age.â
âWell, I think highly of her. Look at her eyes, donât you think they look similar to mine? Never give up! This lady will definitely be a great woman in the future. As for the talents, no guarantees. Didnât you guys witness so many talented people die or end up useless in front of your eyes? Arenât those examples enough?â Liu Bei relaxed comfortably.
âI guess youâre right. This lady is stronger than you but sheâs not as shameless as you. Hey, why donât you teach her some escaping skills? She was too rushed just now,â Cao Cao laughed.
âA person being chased after by Lu Bu and Ma Chao until his balls were almost broken dares to comment on me?!â Liu Bei sneered at him. âShe is Brother LilâWhiteâs apprentice, Iâll definitely give her some tricks and advice.â
âCousin White, how about letting me teach her for a while? For things like sewing sandals, you know,â Liu Bei asked Ye Cang.
âItâs her honor. Xiangyu, quickly thank master uncleâŠâ Zhao Xiangyu was confused upon hearing what Ye Cang said. A food delivery man teaching me? Yet, she had no doubts about Ye Cangâs acknowledgment and so she bowed, âMaster Uncle Liu, thanks for your advice in advanceâŠâ
âSigh, learning how to write poems from me is better than learning anything at all from him,â Cao Cao turned around and started reading a poem from the Song Dynasty. Just then, Sun Quanâs phone rang, âOh, thank you for giving me a chance to join the screen test, director.â
âHmph, equipped with my knowledge, I can be an actor and Iâm about to become one. A food delivery man and a french fries cookâŠWhat a pleasant futureâŠâ Sun Quan hung up the call.
âDonât set your hopes too high. Speak after you pass the test, Sun Hundred Thousand
[1]
,â Cao Cao smirked.
âOld Cao, canât you just motivate him? Sun Short D*ck, I wish you all the bestâŠâ Liu Bei laughed.
âYou guys are just jealousâŠâ Sun Quan grabbed a purple staircase-looking fruit.
AV came over and as he heard about it, âYo, Old Sun, whatâs the name of the director?â
âMackarja!â
âOh, he is famous! This fella is well known for filming animals having sex. From pigs to koi fishes, he has filmed almost all of the animals he could find. If Iâm not mistaken, his team is preparing a film called âThe Fate of Man and Horseâ. I think you should be filming with a horse. Oh, and according to his mindset, you would be the one being rapedâŠâ
I caught Liu Beiâs and Cao Caoâs attention as they started to persuade Sun Quan to go try out the screen test.
ââŠ..â Sun Quan was speechless and deleted the contact. âLooks like prioritizing academics is the most fundamental way of developing a nation⊠Oh wells, imma read my book.â
Sun Quan then took out a book about how the Badger game works and how to prevent it from an actorâs perspective. Liu Bei was reading something about whether it is right to have an abnormal relationship between humans and animals from a philosophical perspective. Since Sun Quan could not be bothered and ignored him, Cao Cao continued reading his poems.

Sun Quan used to bring along hundred thousand of army for any war. On one battle, he was scared of Zhang Liao who had only 800 soldiers. Ever since then, people started to sneer at him with the name âSun Hundred Thousandâ.
