199: Chapter 199 Jiang Chen: As long as it's not poisonous, the Chinese can eat it to the point of endangerment.

In the dark void of the Far Side of the Moon, what should have been a bloody war that decided the fate of the planet had instead turned into an outdoor food livestream for Chenxing Technology.

Beneath that faint blue gravity capture net, the massive octopus-like spaceship had been completely locked down.

It was like an unlucky piece of seafood pressed onto a cutting board; no matter how frantically its tentacles struggled, it could not break free from that layer of invisible gravitational restraint and could only twist futilely in space.

"Sizzle—"

Jiang Chen was in no hurry to kill this thing.

Instead, he commanded the luan niao starship to carefully place a giant metal net over the big octopus.

This was not a battle at all; this was clearly a fisherman hauling in a net by the seaside!

"Old Chen, how is it? Are the test results out?"

Jiang Chen asked into the communication channel while staring at the constantly twitching tentacles on the screen.

In the command room on the other end, Academician Chen Shuyin looked at the biochemical test results that had just come out, her expression extremely strange.

She pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose, her voice even carrying a hint of unbelievable trembling:

"The results are out."

"Although we do not understand its cellular structure, the distribution of proteins, fats, and amino acids in its body... is completely consistent with biology."

"And... no known viruses or parasites were detected. Its tissue structure even contains a natural anti-corrosion protein, making it cleaner than any seafood on our Earth."

"What about the taste?" Jiang Chen pressed.

Academician Chen Shuyin took a deep breath, her tone extremely complex:

"According to molecular simulation analysis... it tastes like chicken, and the texture is even crispier than lobster."

"Jiang Chen, if you really plan on eating it, I suggest you... add plenty of minced garlic."

Jiang Chen slapped his thigh and laughed outright:

"See! I told you it was not poisonous!"

"This is not an alien invader; this is clearly 'top-tier deep space sashimi' delivered by interstellar courier!"

He directly turned on the global livestream.

This time, he did not do any of those flashy tech demonstrations; instead, he set up a barbecue grill.

In the livestream, tens of millions of night owls who had not gone to sleep yet watched the giant octopus struggling in the vacuum, and the barrage of comments instantly froze.

This... did he really catch it?

A few minutes ago, it was a terrifying alien spaceship; now it has become a dish on the table?

"Folks, watch closely."

Jiang Chen faced the camera, holding a laser slicer that had just been dismantled from the luan bird, "Many people asked me, can this thing be eaten?"

"Today, I will show you with real action: as long as it is not poisonous, the people of the Dragon Kingdom can eat it to the point of extinction!"

He operated the robotic arm and precisely sliced off the thickest tentacle of this "big octopus."

There were no superfluous movements.

Jiang Chen threw the tentacle, which was a full five meters long, onto that huge, automatically temperature-controlled barbecue grill.

"Sizzle—!"

Accompanied by a loud burst, the flesh on the tentacle revealed a texture like marbled beef, and the fat instantly transformed into an ultimate aroma under the high heat.

The livestream chat exploded completely.

[Holy crap! Is he really grilling it? What is this smell? I can smell it through the screen!]

[This looks like top-tier ingredients! That meat quality is definitely top-tier sashimi grade!]

[God Jiang, make it stop moving! This tentacle is still curling around my screen, it is making me nervous!]

[Guangdong chef asking for coordinates online! Leave this tentacle to me, I can make a full Manchu-Han feast out of it!]

Jiang Chen looked at the screen full of "I want to eat" comments and felt incredibly satisfied.

Is this the joy of technological crushing?

Not only can I defend the Solar System, but I can also improve our diet along the way.

"Don't fight over it."

Jiang Chen stuffed the last piece of grilled octopus tentacle into his mouth, chewed a few times, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Crispy! Refreshing!

That bouncy texture, compared to deep-sea octopus, not only lacked any fishy smell but also carried a faint, natural savory taste similar to high-quality sea salt.

This is simply natural, top-tier sashimi!

"Folks, this thing is way better than the seafood on our Earth."

Jiang Chen smacked his lips, still wanting more, and gave a thumbs up to the camera, "The meat is tender, full of elasticity, and after eating it, I feel like the bio-electricity in my body has become much more active."

"Even the slight, dull pain in my lower back has disappeared!"

"How is this an alien weapon? It is clearly a 'cosmic-level aphrodisiac'!"

For a moment, the direction of the comments went completely off track.

[What? It is an aphrodisiac?]

[God Jiang, link please! Even if this "alien octopus" is a dangerous item, I want to buy it!]

[Forget ten thousand! I will pay one hundred thousand! I want to eat this bite of alien sashimi!]

[For the future of all humanity, please be sure to eat all these alien creatures! This is a sacrifice for scientific research!]

Meanwhile, on the alien mothership tens of millions of kilometers away.

The group of Commanders in charge were currently looking at the big screen, watching the Dragon Kingdom netizens who were holding dipping sauces and frantically trying to buy the half-grilled scout, and they fell into deep self-doubt.

"Is this... the civilization that defeated us?"

The alien Commander's compound eyes were trembling frantically.

He watched the tragic "feeding" scene, then looked at the comments still scrambling to buy the "tentacles," and only felt a chill run down his spine.

The advance team we sent to scout... they were actually... really treated as seafood by them? And they want to make sashimi? And sprinkle cumin?

What kind of monsters have these creatures on the Blue Planet evolved into?!

"Retreat."

The alien Commander tremblingly turned off the screen, his eyes filled with deep fear, "That is not a planet, that is a... hungry purgatory!"

"Pass on my order! Change course! Avoid this star sector named 'Earth'!"

"These creatures are too terrifying... they even dare to eat their own kind (mistakenly thinking the tentacles grew from themselves), we cannot communicate with them at all!"

"Run!"

"If we do not run, we will all become their buffet!"

Watching the fleeing alien warships, Jiang Chen smiled.

He put down his chopsticks and looked at the enemies fleeing in panic outside the window; his heart was completely calm, and he even wanted another skewer.

"They are running already?"

"I had not even had the chance to ask them whether this thing should be cooked with light soy sauce or dark soy sauce."

Jiang Chen held Pikachu in his arms and waved at the departing spaceships, the air of humble-bragging hitting hard:

"Come back next time."

"Remember to bring soy sauce."

"Better bring plenty, do not make me ask you for it again."

Seeing Jiang Chen's expression of regret, as if he were truly disappointed about not catching enough ingredients.

Zhao Gang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

This... this is the highest level of deterrence, right!

No diplomatic language is needed, and no threats are needed.

As long as you dare to come. We will eat you until you are an endangered species.

"Boss, we should hurry back to the base."

Zhao Gang looked at the battlefield that had become a "restaurant," his tone extremely humble, "It is almost dawn, if this thing starts to smell, we will have to clean it up ourselves."

"True."

Jiang Chen nodded and took one last look at the wreckage, "Alright, haul in the nets."

"Let's go home, we still have important things to do."

Although the alien hunters were "eaten" away, he knew this was just the beginning.

The ruins on the Far Side of the Moon had not been fully excavated yet, and that so-called "Hunter" civilization definitely could not have only this one scout ship.

The real interstellar storm was still to come.

But what of it? As long as he was there. This Solar System was our Dragon Kingdom's—our own hotpot restaurant.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chen carried the remaining half of the tentacle and turned to dive into the warship that was emitting a faint glow.

With the slight roar of the engines. The huge shadow swept over the surface of the moon, streaking a brilliant silver light towards the direction of Earth.

"No matter how many come."

Jiang Chen's voice echoed deeply in the command cabin, revealing an unquestionable dominance: "As long as they dare to step into the Solar System. Then they should all be prepared to be served on the dining table."

At this moment, at the edge of the starry sky, extremely far from Earth. A massive interstellar fleet, seemingly composed of dark matter, was slowly emerging from a fold in space. Their destination. Was that very planet emitting a faint blue light, appearing exceptionally "delicious" in the sea of stars. And what they did not know was. Ahead of them, a giant net composed of greed, fanaticism, and countless foodies had already been cast.
