Chapter 030

Bai Xiaoyu carefully carried out the eggs that were about to hatch. He had already anticipated this situation and purchased several more hatching machines, which came in handy now.

Six eggs were about to hatch, but he was still one hatching machine short after taking out the new ones.

He walked over to the machine where Egg No. 9 had hatched. This machine automatically collected the eggshells, and it had already been cleared, ready for reuse.

Bai Xiaoyu placed an egg inside, making the six hatching machines neatly arranged.

He turned to the crowd and said, "Eggs No. 4, 5, 10, 13, 14, and 16 are about to hatch."

As if responding to his words, the row of eggs behind him began to crack simultaneously with loud pops.

Bai Xiaoyu turned back, a slight smile on his lips. Come on, little guys.

Bai Xiaoyu took out the collected eggshells and saw President Luo rubbing his hands anxiously.

President Luo stared at the packed eggshells in his hand, approached him, and whispered, "Xiaoyu, let's discuss something. Can you give me a small piece of the baby's eggshell?"

Bai Xiaoyu replied, "You'll have to ask the parents; I can't make that decision. But I can ask them for you. Just not right now."

President Luo excitedly said, "Alright."

At this moment, a large number of people flooded into the live stream. Bai Xiaoyu looked at the sudden surge in viewers and was surprised.

After the audience explained, he learned that when Egg No. 9 started to hatch, the live stream automatically appeared on the PK platform.

On the homepage, there was a PK column on the right side, listing all the trainers currently in competition during the same time slot.

Bai Xiaoyu glanced at it: Live Stream DQ369 Bai Xiaoyu vs. Live Stream SQ1751 Ding Lan.

The current scores were the number of hatched beast children, half-beast children, and pure human children.

0:0:1 VS 2:15:13

The first set of numbers represented Bai Xiaoyu, while the second set represented Ding Lan.

Not long ago, Bai Xiaoyu had gone over three days without a single egg hatching, making him a trending topic on Starblog. When he finally had an egg hatch, Ding Lan had already hatched his second beast child.

While Bai Xiaoyu had only hatched one egg, Ding Lan had hatched thirty, including two beast children.

Soon, someone posted the PK data on Starblog, pushing Bai Xiaoyu back onto the trending list.

This led to even more people entering both live streams.

"Are these scores real? I've never seen such a huge difference in hatching rates before."

"Ding Lan just hatched his second beast child. Normally, the first few days are the most common for hatching, but he didn't get any. These eggs must be having some issues."

"Waiting for this streamer to lose."

Bai Xiaoyu focused on the six eggs. The way they were hatching seemed influenced by Egg No. 9, as they were all breaking out violently, causing a series of loud thuds throughout the space.

Newcomers to the live stream were stunned, their attention drawn to the row of eggs about to hatch. Goodness, those are some big eggs!

And they looked so violent—other eggs usually hatched quietly, cracking slowly from within, but these eggs were rolling and colliding, looking incredibly fierce!

Bai Xiaoyu was waiting for these eggs to hatch, but before the six could break free, the eggs behind him also showed signs of movement.

He had to shift his attention from the six eggs and turn towards the group of eggs still fighting with Egg No. 9.

No. 9 was currently climbing on top of another egg, its tiny fists swinging with great vigor.

It seemed the remaining eggs would soon be provoked by this little one as well.

He picked up the little No. 9 and checked all the eggs again. Finally, he looked at the little one waving its fists, trying to rush back and fight the eggs, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Great, five more eggs were about to hatch.

But there were no more hatching machines available, which made things difficult.

He had previously checked the hatching data and knew that even among eggs from the same batch, the hatching times varied over a week. It was rare for two or three eggs to hatch simultaneously, and this usually happened in larger breeding facilities with batches of fifty or sixty eggs.

He thought he had prepared enough to handle unexpected situations by doubling his equipment, but he hadn't expected another doubling.

With no other choice, he was about to place another order when Duan Yang, the parent of Little One, contacted him. Since he was watching the live stream while traveling and happened to pass by the equipment center, he bought five more machines for him.

Duan Yang arrived quickly, accompanied by a handsome man who smiled at Bai Xiaoyu.

Bai Xiaoyu nodded in response. After a busy period with Yu Xi, they managed to place the five eggs that were about to hatch into the machines.

"Eggs No. 6, 8, 11, 17, and 18 are about to hatch."

Now, with two rows of hatching machines, eleven eggs were hatching simultaneously, creating a spectacular scene.

The entire space echoed with the sound of eggs colliding, and as time passed, the heartbeats of the parents grew faster.

Meanwhile, Ding Lan was also watching an egg. This egg had one parent who was a beast and the other a non-traditional half-beast, making the chances of hatching a beast child quite high.

He glanced at Bai Xiaoyu's live stream, where eleven eggs were hatching simultaneously?

Facing this situation, Ding Lan felt a bit of pressure. Although he knew the chances of Bai Xiaoyu hatching a beast child were slim, seeing these eggs, each larger than his own, made him less calm than he appeared.

However, his attention was soon drawn to the eggshell breaking open in front of him, and he couldn't help but show a smug expression.

Another little beast child!

Ding Lan's livestream instantly became lively. This time, the chances of her hatching a beastman were higher than last time!

"No wonder she's the Rookie of the Year! Her skills are top-notch."

"Ding Lan, do you still have spots for the next batch of eggs?"

Meanwhile, on Bai Xiaoyu's side, after a round of effort, many eggs had cracked open. Two rows of eggs mostly had little chubby hands and feet poking out, and some had broken through their shells with small heads peeking out.

The audience in the livestream was disappointed; there were no signs of any beastman traits. This meant that what hatched were either pure humans or half-beastmen.

The little one who poked its head out was Number Ten. As soon as it appeared, it angrily "ah"ed at Number Nine nearby.

Number Nine withdrew its attention from the remaining eggs and "ah"ed back at Number Ten, whose head was just visible.

In the next second, Number Ten broke free from the shell and crawled out.

After being cleaned up and dressed in tiny clothes, Number Ten was placed on the ground and immediately rushed towards Number Nine, quickly rolling into a ball together.

Everyone watching found this amusing.

At this moment, another hatchling emerged. In less than ten minutes, eleven hatchlings successfully broke out of their shells and joined the fight with the most hated Number Nine. Among them were six anxious and somewhat withdrawn eggs.

Wait, there was also a big black egg. It was in the incubation compartment, watching as smaller eggs around it hatched one by one while it remained motionless. How could it maintain its status as the leader if it didn't hatch soon?

More importantly, would Bai Bai dislike it because it hatched slowly?

Bai Xiaoyu was unaware of the big black egg's worries. Currently, twelve hatchlings had emerged, with an equal number of half-beastmen and pure humans.

He had known this result all along. His gaze shifted to the remaining eggs, which were now anxiously spinning around.

Perhaps it was due to the last bit of dark matter being cleared; the beastman hatchlings needed more time to adjust before emerging in their best state.

At this moment, visitors from Starblog and Ding Lan's livestream couldn't help but mock him.

"What's the point of this PK? There's no comparison."

"Ding Lan has already hatched three beastmen, and you haven't hatched a single one."

Even Ding Lan called out, "Tell Bai Xiaoyu that if he admits defeat and agrees to my condition, I'll give him one-fifth of my fans and experience points."

Ding Lan's fans rushed over but were stopped by Bai Xiaoyu's response: "Let's talk after I win." Then they were chased back by Bai Xiaoyu's fans.

Upon hearing this, Ding Lan's face was full of mockery. It was merely a futile struggle.

I'll see how you cry later. When the system moves me over, I'll enjoy seeing your expression, Bai Xiaoyu.

At this moment, the PK data was 0:6:6 vs 3:15:13.

The difference was still significant.

Many people on Starblog were waiting to see his embarrassment, and the crowd on Imperial Star was also paying attention. Consequently, the number of viewers in Bai Xiaoyu's livestream continued to grow.

However, Bai Xiaoyu was very busy. After the hatchlings finished fighting, they started targeting him.

Soon, Bai Xiaoyu was covered in hatchlings, and all he could see were chubby little hands and feet. The sounds of "ah" and "ya" filled his ears.

The remaining seven eggs were all withdrawn.

At this moment, Ding Lan's side produced a fourth beastman hatchling!

Not only were the livestream viewers surprised, but even Ding Lan was delighted. Indeed, the eggs and the potions provided by Young Master Bai Qi could produce twice as many beastman hatchlings as last time!

She continued hatching until the last egg, and Ding Lan hatched another beastman.

Now the PK data was 0:6:6 vs 5:18:13.

Out of thirty-six eggs, five beastman hatchlings had emerged!

Starblog also featured related trending topics.

"A rookie incubator showing master-level skills!"

"Ding Lan collaborates with the Bai family's potions to increase the birth rate of beastman hatchlings?"

Many media outlets rushed to Ding Lan's livestream to interview her.

Just then, a large portion of the viewers in Ding Lan's livestream disappeared.

Ding Lan was puzzled, "What's going on?"

Someone in the livestream answered in shock, "Bai Xiaoyu's eggs are breaking open!"

"So what if one is breaking open? It's far from the broadcaster's level."

"No, six are breaking open simultaneously!"

"!!"

A large portion of the viewers in Ding Lan's livestream vanished, and the media interviewing her hesitated and followed suit.

Both Ding Lan and Bai Qi, who witnessed this, turned grim.

Everything was set up to promote the Bai family's new potion using the huge disparity in the PK results between Ding Lan and Bai Xiaoyu. Now, Bai Xiaoyu had ruined it!

Well, those people will eventually come back. The last six eggs, including the one with the potential to be a beastman, had used a repair agent and would likely only be a half-beastman upon hatching.

Meanwhile, by evening, the six eggs that had adjusted their bodies finally began to break open, and they did so very quickly.

As Bai Xiaoyu carried them to the hatching machine, he announced, "Eggs Number One, Two, Three, Seven, Twelve, and Fifteen are about to break open."

Just after he finished speaking, six claws appeared on various eggs one after another!

The first egg had pink paw pads with a plum blossom pattern, the second had a small hoof, the third had pink paws seemingly with webbed membranes, the seventh had gray paws, the twelfth had three slender toes that curved like hooks, and the fifteenth had sharp bird claws.

The originally somewhat dispirited audience in the live stream instantly became excited!

These were the eggs they had originally considered to be the most promising ones!

Could they now be showing signs of life?

The parents all stood up, unable to resist taking a few steps forward, their eyes fixed firmly on their own eggs.

They were all non-traditional half-beasts; their ancestors several generations back were full beasts, but they gradually evolved into this form.

Now, seeing their offspring emerge from the shells with such surprises, although they knew the chances were slim, they still harbored some hope.

Duan Yang was also a bit worried. The military doctor had mentioned that due to their constant presence on the front lines and exposure to dark matter, there was a risk that their next generation could regress into half-beasts.

Only Bai Xiaoyu remained the calmest, even gently stroking the large black egg beside him.

At this moment, the claws on the eggs started moving—some scratching, kicking, or prying open. Within a minute, everyone was completely stunned.

The first egg revealed a fluffy head with part of the shell still on top. Its entire body was covered in white fluff, and it was curled up inside the shell. Its wet, curious animal eyes looked out at the world, and its paws unconsciously stretched out, as if telling everyone to stay away because it was fierce.

The audience in the live stream fell silent—it was a baby snow leopard!

If it was a snow leopard, what was its strange habit of rolling in mud pits?

It had misled them so badly, making them think there was no hope!

The second egg revealed a head, and its hind legs kicked a bit—it was a baby kangaroo!

The third egg had grayish-white fluff, and its paws had webbed membranes—it was a sugar glider.

The seventh egg was still struggling with the shell, and the little creature even started biting the shell, determined to break free. Clearly, it was a baby honey badger.

The twelfth egg broke halfway open and then went quiet. It turned out to be a ball of fluff hugging its tail, fast asleep—it was a baby sloth.

The fifteenth egg had golden fluff... a bird? Okay, it was a baby golden eagle.

They were six baby half-beasts!

Out of eighteen eggs, six baby half-beasts emerged!

What an incredible record!

The live stream exploded.

"Ahhhh, how did you do it, dog streamer?!"

"Hatching six baby half-beasts from eighteen eggs on the fringe planet is unprecedented data across the entire galaxy!"

"Are you so calm because you knew all along and didn't tell us?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "I said it, but you didn't believe me."

The audience in the live stream: "..."

Had he said it? But wasn't that just the streamer's delusions?

The system updated the PK data to 6:6:6 vs. 5:18:13.

Bai Xiaoyu received a notification from the system: [Cultivation Live Stream DQ369 Bai Xiaoyu vs. Live Stream SQ1751 Ding Lan, you have won decisively. In one minute, all fans and the streamer of the losing live stream SQ1751 Ding Lan will be transferred here. Please prepare.]

Bai Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow, and the audience in the live stream burst into laughter, all eager for the challenge.

Meanwhile, Ding Lan stared at the message from the system: [Cultivation Live Stream DQ369 Bai Xiaoyu vs. Live Stream SQ1751 Ding Lan, you have lost. In one minute, all your current fans will be transferred to the winner. You will also be forcibly transferred over and must humbly learn from the winner for fifteen minutes. Prepare yourself.]

Staring intently at the words "lost" and the last sentence, his face was filled with disbelief. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There must be a mistake. I want to appeal. Bai Xiaoyu cheated!"

His appeal was quickly rejected.

He tried to appeal again, but the next moment, the scene before him changed, and he found himself in a familiar yet unfamiliar live stream room.

He was sitting at a desk with a notebook on it.

The system announced: "Given that the losing live stream SQ1751 Ding Lan refuses to accept defeat, the cultivation authority has unanimously decided to double the mandatory learning time. Additionally, a 3,000-word learning report must be submitted afterward."

Ding Lan struggled, "No."

The audience in the live stream immediately surrounded him.

"Hey, isn't this the great cultivator Ding who boasted our streamer should admit defeat? Why are you here now?"

"Are you visiting? How dare you come without bringing any gifts?"

"Don't worry, he brought gifts—the two million fans right behind him."

Surrounded by these fans, including his former top supporters, Ding Lan's face turned pale, almost spitting blood.

"Bai Xiaoyu, don't go too far!"

Bai Xiaoyu shrugged. "I'm busy. Since the fans enjoy it, let them entertain you."

Ding Lan was furious but helpless. His gaze fell on the final PK result: 6:6:6 vs. 5:18:13.

His pupils widened—six half-beasts?!

He turned abruptly and saw Bai Xiaoyu walking towards the incubation machines where six half-opened eggs lay, each containing a small half-beast with wet eyes.

This is full-body beastification, a little beastman that's larger than the one he cultivated!

How could this be?

Ding Lan was in a daze, but he soon had no time to be distracted because the audience in the live stream began forcing him to write notes.

Three thousand words of notes! He wanted to spit blood again.

Bai Xiaoyu was surrounded by various media outlets, but he walked toward those few eggs.

Whatever it was, he would talk about it after he held the cubs.

At this moment, the news of Bai Xiaoyu hatching six beastmen spread across the entire interstellar, causing a huge stir on the star network.

Just moments ago, Ding Lan, the rookie king who hatched five little beastmen, was now overshadowed by the strongest rookie ever, Bai Xiaoyu?!

Eighteen eggs, hatching six little beastmen!

The Imperial Military Academy was stunned. Was this still the same useless person?

Bai Qi watched the live stream and threw everything on the table to the ground.

In Imperial Star, at the place where Bai Qing lounged with beauties, he received a message from his deputy and suddenly stood up.

This useless son...

He contacted his deputy: "Did you send out that statement?"

Deputy: "Your Highness, it has been retracted. I said it was sent by mistake due to a slip of the hand."
