Chapter 034

As everyone knows, the shop 'Bai Bai's Darling Dahēi' not only has a name that torments single people, but its owner also behaves in an unconventional manner.

Who would open a shop and then neglect it for months, only occasionally tossing up a couple of bottles of nutrient solution?

When you do toss them up, at least give some advance notice, right?

Nope.

Not only that, he often lists new items late at night, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, leaving those who miss out feeling incredibly frustrated.

The shop has been open for nearly three months, and it has listed only a few batches of potions, each batch being top-notch.

Every time people realize what's happening, the shop is already in chaos, with everyone suspecting someone else as the lucky one who managed to grab the potion!

If such a lucky person isn't found and beaten up, they can't relieve their pent-up anger from constantly waiting.

During this period, 'Bai Bai's Darling Dahēi' has gradually gained a reputation in the pharmaceutical world. Many people know that behind the shop stands a master pharmacist!

Due to the shop's erratic listing schedule, many people frequently camp out in the shop.

So when the shop listed a thousand bottles of nutrient solution, they were discovered almost immediately, and before anyone could even see clearly, the items were snatched up.

Finally, luck was on their side once.

But... they didn't manage to get any!

Thinking they were too slow, they looked again and saw that the quantity was still a thousand. This time, they finally had a chance to look closely.

The grade was even higher than before, S-grade.

Everyone was excited, but why couldn't they buy it?

Upon closer inspection, they noticed the purchasing conditions. This batch of potions was directly linked to incubation centers.

Moreover, the incubation centers must be actively incubating or about to incubate eggs, and the incubators themselves must register and apply.

There was also a strict no-resale policy; if violated, the system would blacklist the offender, preventing them from buying any potions from the shop, and even affecting others in the same incubation center until the offender left.

These conditions were too strict!

They seemed even more stringent than those set by the regional pharmacy departments.

And there was no fixed price; the cost was determined after registration based on the situation? Priority would be given to planets severely affected by dark matter pollution?

Despite this, many incubators still registered and applied.

This peculiar behavior quickly became a hot topic, attracting more and more applicants.

Bai Xiaoyu called out the system in his mind: "System, help me select the incubators that need these nutrient solutions the most. Filter out those trying to take advantage, especially those sent by the Huang family. Blacklist them."

The system sighed but complied, emphasizing, "Ten thousand points! You currently have negative seven hundred twenty thousand points."

The selected incubation centers were mostly on the outskirts and surrounding planets, which had mostly suffered from insectoid invasions. The funds available for purchasing potions were limited, but better than the ninety thousand credits Bai Xiaoyu had for a quarter.

As Bai Xiaoyu predicted, once priced according to interstellar standards, only the well-developed central planets with minimal pollution, like Imperial Star, could afford the top-tier nutrient solutions without strain.

This went against his intentions.

Thus, these incubation centers could purchase the top-tier nutrient solutions at their original prices.

Even so, Bai Xiaoyu's balance rapidly grew into the tens of millions.

The incubation centers on the edge planets were overjoyed, developing immense goodwill and gratitude towards the shop. They informed the parents, who became loyal fans upon hearing the news.

In contrast, the atmosphere within the Huang family was tense. None of their representatives were selected!

Who was this mysterious master? How did Bai Xiaoyu, the wastrel, get so lucky and gain the support of a master, turning things around?

Now, he even helped refine so many top-tier nutrient solutions. They must secure him at all costs.

The current batch of potions wasn't significant in the grand scheme of things.

Not getting the potions for research wasn't a problem either, as the output was slow and wouldn't affect them much.

However, they didn't realize this was just the beginning.

Meanwhile, President Luo carefully analyzed the data collected over the past few months.

Whether it was the beastmen, half-beastmen, or pure humans, they were all perfect, healthier and smarter than newborns before the insectoid dark matter pollution.

He had personally witnessed Bai Xiaoyu expelling the dark matter from the eggs.

This young man, once known as a wastrel in Imperial Star, showed no signs of being a wastrel. Instead, he possessed both strength and courage, making him capable of great achievements.

Especially Egg No. 1, which initially had a scattered yolk and was further damaged by the repair agent, eventually hatched into the strongest beastman pup in the batch.

Luo thought, despite his young age, Bai Xiaoyu indeed had some skills.

At this moment, his assistant reported, "On D31 planet, there's an egg that no one dares to accept. The parents have come to the association for help. President, how should we handle this?"

President Luo looked at the egg's information, pondering for a while before saying, "I already have someone in mind."

Bai Xiaoyu was unaware that someone would be sending an egg. He entrusted the packaging of the potions to the robots and took Dahēi Egg for a walk, slowly heading back.

Tomorrow morning, the parents would come to pick up the young ones. In a week, the incubation center would welcome a new batch of eggs.

Late at night.

The sounds of fighting in the forest quickly disappeared, and a tall figure emerged. Behind him followed several people, who efficiently dragged two unconscious bodies.

One of them said, "Boss, how many waves is this this month? Are the Imperial Star royal heirs sending people one after another?"

Another replied, "We're only responsible for the west side; the Sixteenth Legion handles the east. They probably have their hands full too."

After binding the captives, they lit a fire and looked at the man whose features were becoming more striking in the flickering light. Gone was the shyness he had shown in front of Bai Xiaoyu; his thin lips now gave him an air of coldness.

"Boss, you've been recovering so quickly lately. When are we going back? The arrogant bastards sent by the royal family are getting on everyone's nerves in the legion. Plus, the insectoids outside our base have been stirring up trouble again. We've already fought several waves, and things don't look good."

Yu Xi, no, now General Liu Lingxi of the Twenty-ninth Legion, glanced in a certain direction. "Tomorrow."

Bai Xiaoyu had been busy all night, looking at the new gift he had made, his eyes softening.

The parents arrived early today, with some carrying baskets of medicinal herbs early in the morning.

Bai Xiaoyu calculated the credit points for them, but they refused to accept it. So he deducted the amount from the future nutrient solutions for their children.

Once everyone was present, he took out his optical computer and collected wrist cells to identify each child's genes, registering their identities one by one.

At this moment, the little ones sensed something and gathered around Bai Xiaoyu and the big black egg, still trying to squeeze into Bai Xiaoyu's arms.

Bai Xiaoyu picked up a sugar glider from the top of his head, poked its fleshy paw, and put it down. "San San, you've been registered. No mischief."

He then picked up a golden eagle chick covered in fluffy golden down. "Xiao Shiwu, it's your turn."

The little eagle gently pecked his hand with its still pink beak and rubbed against his palm.

After Bai Xiaoyu finished registering the children, they fought over his attention again, vying for his embrace.

Finally, exhausted from the fight, Bai Xiaoyu picked up Xiao Yi and placed the snow-white bundle in Duan Yang's arms.

The little one turned to look at him, blinking its wet animal eyes.

Bai Xiaoyu stroked his small head and took out a delicate longevity lock, placing it around the child's neck.

Meanwhile, the big black egg and Yu Xi stood quietly nearby.

Bai Xiaoyu hugged each child, personally handing them to their parents and giving them a longevity lock.

These were crafted overnight in his alchemy furnace, each carrying his blessings and hopes for these children.

After finishing everything, he escorted the children and their parents out.

Just as they stepped out the door, the little ones, who had been looking back, suddenly started whimpering. Seeing Bai Xiaoyu waving goodbye, they burst into tears, struggling fiercely to break free and rush back. Their parents barely managed to hold them.

No matter how much the parents tried to soothe them, Bai Xiaoyu walked over and patted each little head. "You are future warriors. How can you cry so easily?"

This time, the little ones clung to his arms, not letting him go. They made sounds as if talking to him.

Bai Xiaoyu chuckled. "Feel free to come back and visit me."

After calming them down, he watched the sobbing little ones being carried away by their parents.

Standing there, he watched their backs disappear.

May you grow healthy, safe, and happy, leading a smooth life.

After they left, a spacecraft landed shortly after. Several tall men in silver-gray military uniforms emerged, each carrying a box. They lined up in front of Bai Xiaoyu and saluted him. "Young Master Bai, this is a farewell gift from our boss... uh."

The man who spoke was harshly elbowed and pulled away by his companion. Bai Xiaoyu turned to look at Yu Xi based on their glances.

Yu Xi's face had fully matured; the once wild pup had grown into a proud wolf king.

He gave Bai Xiaoyu a shy smile, causing the others peeking around to shudder and quickly retreat.

Bai Xiaoyu understood. "Xiao Xi, are you leaving?"

Yu Xi nodded, extending his hand. "Brother Bai, let me reintroduce myself. I'm Liu Lingxi, the leader of the Twenty-ninth Legion. I lost my memory and became Yu Xi due to injuries. You can still call me Xiao Xi."

He paused. "Now that the legion has matters to attend to, I must leave."

Initially, he only had occasional flashes of memory, but after encountering Su Ran and others, his memories gradually returned as the toxins were removed. His body had recovered to about eighty percent, and his memories were mostly restored.

Bai Xiaoyu shook Liu Lingxi's hand, looking at the now taller assistant. He marveled inwardly that even though he wasn't short, standing at nearly six feet after training, the future height of the beastmen was truly remarkable.

Seeing the still slightly youthful face, he felt that Yu Xi might still grow taller.

"May your journey be smooth."

Liu Lingxi nodded, staring at Bai Xiaoyu for a while, hesitating.

Bai Xiaoyu smiled. "Hold out your hand."

Liu Lingxi complied, and Bai Xiaoyu placed a longevity lock in his palm. "I prepared this for you. May your journey be smooth and may you return safely."

Liu Lingxi tightly gripped the longevity lock, nodding firmly at Bai Xiaoyu. "Okay."

Bai Xiaoyu instinctively reached out to pat his head but stopped. Liu Lingxi, surprised, leaned forward, offering his head.

Bai Xiaoyu patted him, and the long-suffering big black egg finally couldn't resist any longer.

It rushed over, pushing Liu Lingxi aside and rubbed against Bai Xiaoyu's hand.

Liu Lingxi's forehead twitched, taking a deep breath to avoid fighting with the un-hatched egg. It wouldn't be fair to bully an egg.

But his heartfelt farewell to Brother Bai was ruined by this guy.

He really wanted to have a fight with that guy.

In the end, the fight didn’t happen. Liu Lingxi took Bai Xiaoyu to leave after giving him a gift.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the completely quiet nursery and sighed, another one had left.

Da Hei swayed and stood behind Bai Xiaoyu, letting him lean on him.

Bai Bai, they’ve left, but I’m still here,

I will always be with you.

Bai Xiaoyu patted Da Hei’s egg, as if understanding his words, "Yes, Da Hei is still with me."

Da Hei’s egg was happy, but soon became a bit withdrawn again.

Until a larger longevity lock appeared in Bai Xiaoyu’s palm, "Of course, I didn’t forget your gift."

Da Hei’s egg then jumped three feet high in excitement.
