146: Chapter 146 A Lovely Race

Su Fan's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he immediately followed up, "Can we capture it with the optical sensors?"

"Yes, there is no cloud cover at this location."

"Please wait a moment."

Soon, a very beautiful green town appeared on the ship's large screen.

"Holy crap!"

"This... is this... a watermelon that's become a spirit?" Su Fan was dumbfounded.

The Great Elder and Xia Feifei were also stunned; Xia Feifei even rubbed her eyes vigorously.

On the screen, a green town sat quietly at the foot of a mountain. The town was beautiful, but the 'people' walking through the streets drew even more of Su Fan and the others' attention.

These were round, plump creatures that looked just like watermelons, but they had arms and legs. They had no heads, as their single eye was located directly on their round bodies.

They had no noses, only a mouth that was a single line when closed and became a small round hole when opened.

"Su Fan, they're so cute!"

"Catch one for me to keep as a pet!" Xia Feifei's eyes were practically sparkling.

"Uh... let's distinguish good from evil first and see if they are a friendly civilization. If they are..."

"Then I definitely can't catch one for you to play with!" Su Fan retorted.

Just because they looked cute, she wanted to keep one as a pet? They were intelligent life forms!

"Let's go down quickly and see if they are a friendly civilization. If they are, we can make friends. They're just too cute!" Xia Feifei loved cute and adorable things most of all.

She kept fluffy kittens and puppies at home, and her bed was covered in cute plush toys.

These Watermelon People perfectly matched her aesthetic preferences.

"Let's go, we're heading down!" Su Fan said with a smile and a wave of his hand. The kongming mothership began to descend slowly toward the planet's surface.

"Su Fan, give this star and this life-bearing planet a name. Have the Red Queen record them in the star charts," the Great Elder said with a smile from the side.

"Alright then. Since this planet has these watermelon-like Watermelon People, let's call it Watermelon Planet!" Su Fan said with a laugh.

"As for the star's name, let's call it the Melon Sun Star!"

After hearing these two names, Xia Feifei's eyes were full of disbelief. "Su Fan, your naming skills are truly... something else!"

As she spoke, she gave Su Fan a thumbs-up.

"Why is the star called Melon Sun Star instead of West Sun Star?!" Xia Feifei complained.

"Because 'West Sun' doesn't sound good. It sounds like 'setting sun,' which implies things are coming to an end. It's not a good omen," Su Fan explained patiently.

The Great Elder watched the two of them with a chuckle. He had long known of Su Fan's naming 'talent,' but the name of a thing didn't necessarily have to be 'elegant.' Sometimes 'vulgar' names were easier to remember!

The kongming mothership did not land completely on the ground but instead hovered in the sky some distance away from the town.

Su Fan, the Great Elder, and Xia Feifei boarded a kunpeng no. 2 spaceship and slowly descended to the ground.

They then disembarked, preparing to walk to the nearby town.

By this time, the Watermelon People in the town had already noticed them.

A behemoth countless times larger than their town had descended from the sky and was hovering quietly in mid-air. It was terrifying!

Many Watermelon People were so frightened that they knelt directly on the ground, prostrating themselves and kowtowing toward the ship.

The three of them walked slowly toward the town.

It had to be said that this planet's environment absolutely put Blue Star, Mars, and Shengyuan Star to shame. The overall style of the various plants was very neat and compact, making one feel as if they had stepped into a fairy-tale world!

"Su Fan, have you noticed?" Xia Feifei suddenly asked, puzzled.

"Noticed what?" Su Fan was confused.

"We've been walking for about half an hour, but we haven't seen any animals, insects, or anything like that." Xia Feifei brushed aside a cluster of strange plants next to her.

"It seems to be all plants here!"

"If there really are no other creatures and only plants, then this planet must have something unique about it that's worth investigating deeply." Su Fan raised an eyebrow, looking at the distant town with interest.

At this point, some Watermelon People were slowly approaching them.

Their walking posture was very amusing; their upper bodies swayed from side to side while their two short little legs shuffled back and forth rapidly on the ground.

However, because their legs were so short, even though they moved fast enough to create afterimages, their forward speed was still very slow!

"Wow! So cute!" Seeing the group of Watermelon People from a distance, Xia Feifei was instantly captivated by their adorable way of walking.

Su Fan's face was lined with frustration. Women were truly fickle creatures. When she was hacking down Lizardmen, she was killing them like children without a hint of mercy. Now, she was acting like a little girl.

She was over a hundred years old!

Since both parties were walking toward each other, the distance between them closed quickly.

Finally, the two sides met.

"Bulu bulu &%##(/(°∞°)\)(/(°∞°)\)..." Upon meeting, the group of Watermelon People, led by their leader, knelt and kowtowed in unison, their mouths constantly emitting unintelligible sounds.

"Red Queen, analyze the Watermelon People's language and attempt to decipher it," Su Fan ordered.

"Yes! Master!"

"Please wait. For an unknown language, I need to collect as many tones and phonetic notes as possible."

Su Fan waited patiently, but the Watermelon People were terrified. They lay on the ground trembling, more unintelligible words pouring from their mouths.

Xia Feifei felt a bit of pity looking at these trembling, cute Watermelon People.

However, as a soldier, she could show a woman's softness when chatting with Su Fan and the Great Elder.

But when facing alien life, no matter how cute they looked, she could absolutely show no mercy until their danger level was determined and until she received orders from Su Fan or the Great Elder!

A soldier's foundation is the execution of orders!

After a while, Su Fan suddenly smiled because the Red Queen had successfully deciphered the Watermelon People's language.

"Red Queen, activate the simultaneous interpretation function for the Androids."

The Androids the three of them were using were not ordinary ones; they were D-class Androids from a Level 3 civilization.

These Androids were expensive to build, but they had stronger defenses, more functions, and were more human-like.

It could be said that aside from giving birth, a D-class Android could do anything!

˚*̥(∗*⁰͈꒨⁰͈)*̥ Wow~

Once the Red Queen activated the simultaneous interpretation, they could finally understand the Watermelon People's language.

"Great Plant God, please forgive us!"

"Great Plant God, we are willing to repent!"

"Great Plant God, please spare us, I still have seven children to raise!"

"Great Plant God..."

Su Fan and the Great Elder exchanged a glance, and then Su Fan spoke: "Hello, can you understand what I am saying?"

The group of Watermelon People froze mid-kowtow, then excitedly sat up on their knees to look at the three of them.

The leading Watermelon Person's mouth worked for a moment before he said excitedly, "The Great Plant God spoke to us! We have seen a true deity!"

Su Fan: "..."

"Take us to your town," Su Fan said directly after thinking for a moment.

Although he was speechless at this phenomenon, he did not deny it, as the status of a deity would make things much easier.
