Chapter 078

Chapter 078

The little one broke through the eggshell; the upper half was already shattered, while the lower half remained intact.

The blood patterns on his body looked as if they were carved into his skin, yet they seemed to be flowing. The small, fleshy fists that emerged also had blood patterns, extending all the way to his chest. There was a fist-sized blood node at his chest, identical to the shape of the previous eggshell. Almost all the main blood lines passed through this node, spreading throughout his body, including his head and limbs, all entwined with blood patterns.

The little one retracted his hand, and the entire blood pattern became more vivid in color. Even the chest node began to pulse slightly.

The eggshell suddenly cracked open, and the little one's eyes were tightly shut. He opened them a bit, then quickly closed them again.

He opened and closed his eyes repeatedly until he finally half-opened his wet, glistening eyes, looking at the new world outside the eggshell.

Almost immediately, he saw Bai Xiaoyu standing nearby. Sensing a familiar presence, the little one started crawling out of the eggshell, causing it to sway like a rocking toy.

The little one seemed not yet accustomed to the half-shell, almost tipping over several times.

Finally, the little one, completely free of blood patterns, emerged from the gray-white eggshell and clumsily extended his two blood-patterned chubby hands towards Bai Xiaoyu, opening his mouth: "Ah."

The newly hatched little one was soft and adorable, but his body was covered in blood patterns, with a few on his face and around his forehead and eyes.

Everyone was stunned by the sight of the little one breaking out of the shell and had not yet recovered from the shock.

Bai Xiaoyu walked over and picked up the little one, who immediately wrapped his arms around Bai Xiaoyu's neck, showing him a toothless smile, "Ah ah ah."

He gently patted the little one's back, just as he did when patting the egg, softly saying, "Little guy, welcome to this world."

The little one excitedly burrowed into Bai Xiaoyu's arms, making "ah" sounds continuously, and the blood patterns on his body deepened.

Bai Xiaoyu picked up the little one and called over a robot. Within thirty seconds, the little one was cleaned. Bai Xiaoyu took the clothes prepared in the robot's belly and dressed the little one.

Instantly, the little one, now covered in clothes, looked cuter, and the blood patterns on his face and limbs no longer seemed as alarming after prolonged viewing.

Bai Xiaoyu held the little one and probed his mind into the little one's body, circling it once. The little one seemed used to this process, having been checked daily even before hatching. Now, he hummed contentedly in Bai Xiaoyu's arms, still holding tightly onto his neck.

Bai Xiaoyu withdrew his mental power, and the little one reached for the direction where the mental power had withdrawn, three chubby mental power tentacles emerging from his head, seemingly very attached to Bai Xiaoyu's mental power threads.

Bai Xiaoyu surrounded his fingers with mental power and flicked the three tentacles, "Alright, the other siblings will be hatching soon. I need to go check on them."

Everyone watched Bai Xiaoyu flick the air above the little one's head, finding it oddly harmonious despite its strangeness.

Everyone laughed at the ugly yet cute little one.

"Is this fierce little one challenging someone?"

"Clearly, considering they've been fighting since birth."

The little one turned to look at the neighboring blood egg, snorting slightly and waving his fist.

Just as the little one finished his challenge, the neighboring blood egg shook violently, and its top was forcefully broken. Soon, a similarly blood-marked snake head, about the size of a fist, emerged.

Everyone was stunned by the sudden development, amazed at the response.

This time, it appeared to be a young beastkin.

The newly hatched snake was as thick as an arm, with fine, delicate scales and intricate patterns hidden beneath the blood patterns. After breaking out of the shell, it looked directly at Bai Xiaoyu and wagged its tail, as if greeting him.

Bai Xiaoyu picked up the snake, cleaned it, and the snake coiled around his arm, unwilling to leave.

At this moment, a chubby hand with blood patterns reached out and grabbed the snake beastkin, pulling hard. The snake beastkin got angry and hissed at the annoying neighbor with its tongue.

The live stream audience got excited, wondering if a fight was about to break out.

"Can the human little one pull away the beastkin little one?"

"It seems likely, leading to a tug-of-war?"

However, the next moment, everyone's mouths dropped open. The human little one slowly pulled the snake beastkin away. The snake wasn't giving up either, quickly wrapping itself around the little one, and they started fighting.

The more they fought, the redder the blood patterns became, and they even made thumping sounds when hitting the ground. Their little fists and tails swung cutely, but each blow landed solidly, turning their skin red.

Everyone watched in shock, wondering how such force could come from two newly hatched infants.

"Streamer, shouldn't you intervene? What if they get hurt?"

Bai Xiaoyu waved his hand, "It's fine. They have strong constitutions. If I interfere, I'll be the one getting hurt."

These eggs, influenced by the warlike nature of the mad beast grass, fighting is normal. He would worry if they didn't fight.

Didn't you see the other blood eggs outside also fighting?

As the two fought, the surrounding blood eggs began to hatch.

Many groups of eggs watching the spectacle outside saw the two hatched ones fighting and being held by Bai Xiaoyu, so they bounced over to watch. Amidst the pushing and shoving, another fight broke out.

Bai Xiaoyu turned around and saw layers of eggs surrounding the area, colliding and rolling, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

Not only the warlike blood eggs but also the local eggs were mixed in, and it seemed they wouldn't wait until tomorrow to hatch.

Fortunately, he had sent notifications to all the parents before coming here. Most of the distant parents had already gathered at the incubation center, while those from the same planet arrived shortly.

He glanced around and noticed that the parents were arriving steadily.

Soon, the remaining eggs hatched one by one, and Bai Xiaoyu, Zhang Yi, and Lu Qing continuously brought the newly hatched ones inside.

The third egg hatched a half-beastkin with animal ears and tail, the fourth a pure human, and the fifth a fox beastkin...

Eight blood eggs hatched two beastkins, three half-beastkins, and three pure humans.

The crowd's eyes lit up at the sight of the birth rate of the beastmen.

"Here it comes, another perfect hatching ratio for the beastmen."

"Don't jump to conclusions yet. Last time, some thought the sample size was too small, and the streamer was just lucky."

More and more eggs were carried in.

With the continuous sound of cracking shells, one after another, the eggs from the same batch as the blood egg cracked open. In just three hours, all fifty-two eggs from the same batch had hatched.

Among them, there were sixteen baby beastmen, fifteen half-beastmen, and twenty-one pure humans.

Thirty out of thirty-seven eggs from District Nine also hatched, leaving seven remaining.

The ratio of baby beastmen to half-beastmen to pure humans was 9:9:12.

Another perfect ratio!

Indeed, the streamer has completely overcome the impact of dark matter on the young beastmen!

Bai Xiaoyu watched as the blood egg and its batch of hatchlings fought together, with the parents watching nearby.

Twenty-nine of these hatchlings had blood patterns, though not as many as the first one. The subsequent ones had fewer and fewer patterns. Those with fewer patterns had partially damaged ones, as the shell repair involved only a small section of the blood pattern. Thus, these hatchlings merely had an additional closed circuit blood pattern on their chests, abdomens, or other areas.

Those without blood patterns naturally had no marks upon hatching, but this did not affect their combative nature.

Their physical strength and mental power were higher than most of the hatchlings from other regions. During fights, many weaker hatchlings from other regions were quickly knocked out with a punch or a claw. The stronger ones stayed inside fighting. However, the modified bodies of the blood egg hatchlings were too strong, and they too were eventually knocked out. If any tried to approach Bai Xiaoyu, they would be discovered by the fighting hatchlings, dragged in, beaten up, and thrown back out.

They themselves could not approach Bai Xiaoyu, nor would they let other hatchlings do so. Initially, they all wanted to claim Bai Xiaoyu's embrace, but now, as they fought, their bloodlust rose.

The sound of fists hitting flesh was alarming.

The parents finally couldn't resist intervening. After discussing, a dozen tall and muscular parents decided to enter the fray to stop them.

Within a minute, they fled out, not only failing to stop the fight but also covered in claw and bite marks, looking comical and disheveled.

The parents watching asked, "Were you hesitant to hit the hatchlings?"

The dozen parents all showed bitter smiles, "No, we were overwhelmed by the hatchlings' rapid punches and claws before we could even act."

These parents all had A-level or above physiques, thinking they could handle the hatchlings' punches, but one punch left their eyes bruised.

They recalled that the blood egg hatched much faster than the others, breaking the shell easily with a single punch or claw.

Now, reflecting on it, they realized they had underestimated the hatchlings! They were also extremely pleased, as this indicated the hatchlings had excellent physiques, at least S-level.

The live stream audience was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

At the same time, they were also puzzled. How could these blood egg hatchlings be so powerful? No wonder the streamer didn't intervene; he was waiting for this.

Bai Xiaoyu occasionally glanced over, knowing better than anyone about the hatchlings' physiques. With his small frame, he decided to let the hatchlings play on their own.

Only Old Qi was the most excited. This was exactly what he had envisioned—the juvenile stage of powerful weapons.

If they were this strong now, how much stronger would they be later?

Unfortunately, the recently hatched eggs from their side were far from this level. Many lacked consciousness and behaved like primitive beasts.

What went wrong?

The master alchemist behind these hatchlings must be involved. Unfortunately, despite monitoring Bai Xiaoyu for so long, nothing was discovered.

As Old Qi glared angrily at Bai Xiaoyu, the seven remaining eggs from the region also hatched. Bai Xiaoyu felt his gaze but ignored him, busy cleaning the newborns and handing them to their parents.

The incubation room was bustling with activity. Besides the fighting hatchlings and parents, there were still two groups of eggs, the multi-yellow egg, and the tiny one.

With so many powerful hatchlings setting a high standard, everyone eagerly watched these eggs.

The first signs of movement came from the two groups of eggs. While the hatchlings were fighting, these eggs calmly stared at each other, as if their opponents were merely the eggs opposite them.

These eggs were engaged in a 4VS4 team battle. As soon as one egg showed signs of cracking, the opposing team's egg also responded.

This continued, with each pair cracking simultaneously, neither letting the other go first. Within thirty seconds of Bai Xiaoyu hearing the first crack, all eight eggs were about to hatch.

He approached, and all eight eggs and their parents looked at him, then at his hands.

Both sides immediately intensified their battle spirit.

Bai Xiaoyu rubbed his forehead, here we go again.

He walked up and picked up two eggs.

The moment the two eggs touched, Bai Xiaoyu could feel the intense battle spirit from both the eggs and their parents.

He shook his head and struggled to carry the two eggs to the incubation compartments.

These eight eggs hatched almost instantly, cracking open in pairs, indistinguishable in sequence.

The first to emerge were a little leopard and a little gray wolf, both furry balls with wet eyes staring at him, wagging their tails. The next moment, they turned towards each other, baring their teeth and growling, lowering their bodies in attack positions.

Bai Xiaoyu simultaneously lifted the two toothless furry balls, holding them by the scruffs of their necks, and they remained obediently still without struggling.

But when they faced each other, they started baring their teeth and scratching each other's tails.

Bai Xiaoyu was both amused and exasperated, lifting them again. The two furry balls immediately retracted their claws and fangs.

Putting them down, they predictably pounced on each other and started fighting.

Next, the little leopard versus the little white wolf, the little black leopard versus the little German Shepherd, the little lion versus the little Tibetan Mastiff, with their parents also transforming back into their beast forms, snarling and making small moves nearby.

The audience in the live stream found it amusing.

Half an hour later, the giant egg, as tall as an adult's chest, began to show signs of movement after rolling and flipping around.

Bai Xiaoyu went over to... no, he and Zhang Yi and Lu Qing carried the giant egg into the hatching room.

At this moment, he noticed Ye Feng being pushed over with his nape gripped by someone else. He saw the tall and stern man behind the carefree Ye Feng, who must be the other parent.

This one was also a beastman, since there wasn't just one type of little beastman inside the multi-yolk egg. However, those seven little ones were so similar that most people couldn't easily tell them apart.

Ye Feng greeted Bai Xiaoyu. At that moment, he looked like a husky on a leash, unable to break free, almost as if he were under a seal. Otherwise, he would have charged over at the sight of the other person's glowing eyes.

The stern man treated Bai Xiaoyu well, showing gratitude in his eyes and trying hard to force a smile.

Soon after the two parents were in place, the multi-yolk egg started spinning rapidly.

Vibrations came from several directions of the giant egg.

One, two, three...

As everyone counted, they became confused. Experts had previously said there were three or four pups inside, but now it sounded like more than that.

Could it be that all the pups were moving together?

Ye Feng, looking at his own egg making sounds from all sides, turned back smugly to the man: "Guess how many little ones are in our egg? Beg me, and maybe I'll tell you."

The man glanced at him, "Yesterday's punishment wasn't enough, now you're reminding me that you hid the egg from me and made me miss the pups' enlightenment ceremony? With your IQ and nature, if the kids turn out like you, I'd be constantly worried."

Ye Feng retorted, "What's wrong with me? If you don't want to worry, take the seven kids home..."

The man's expression changed slightly, watching the large egg that kept vibrating and rolling. He sighed helplessly, "Seven, you really dared. Luckily, you did one thing right—asking President Luo for help to bring the kids here."

Soon, the two stopped talking because cracks appeared on the multi-yolk egg. They listened to the various cracking sounds, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement.

Suddenly, from different directions of the egg shaped like a pumpkin, paws and even a tail emerged simultaneously, totaling six spots. Finally, at the top, a dog's mouth broke through. Each paw and tail was a different color, forming a spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

Especially the long snout, which had light and dark shades.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, wondering what was happening. Their fathers seemed normal, so why were the pups colored like this?

If they were red like the blood eggs, it would make sense, but now they had seven colors?

In the next second, the giant egg shattered into pieces. In that instant, it seemed as if seven differently colored pups rushed out, but then the colors disappeared.

Everyone thought they were seeing things, but before they could think further, they were shocked by the appearance of seven pups from a single egg!

Just as everyone was stunned, these pups started biting each other immediately after hatching. Three pups with three flames on their heads jumped and fought enthusiastically, while the other four similar-looking fluffy pups fought even harder.

The three huskies, while fighting, suddenly turned their attention to the eggshell and started attacking it. Soon, the broken shell that had fallen beside them turned to dust. The remaining half of the shell was only saved by the stern man's intervention.

The audience in the live stream found it amusing again.

"Indeed, seven huskies. The parents are extremely lucky, but their future life will be stressful."

"Not quite, look closely. Only three are the silly husky breed; the other four belong to our wolf clan."

"Really? Your wolf clan usually doesn't choose huskies as partners, right?"

"Most don't, but some do. Seven treasures in one litter, I might try finding a husky too."

Bai Xiaoyu and Ye Feng each held two pups, while the man held three. After cleaning up, the seven pups unconsciously started fighting again. As they fought, they somehow rolled into the battlefield of the blood eggs and got beaten up, causing them to change colors.

However, none of the colors were uniform. For example, the red pup had one side bright red and the other side dark red, resembling a yin-yang wolf.

After changing colors, they moved as one, coordinating perfectly. Whatever any one of the pups saw, the others could see too. They not only shared vision but also pain, allowing them to navigate the chaotic battle effortlessly.

They caused waves of exclamations from the audience.

Then, everyone turned their attention back to Bai Xiaoyu, wondering how he managed to achieve this.

After several hours, all the eggs were surprisingly healthy. Judging from the fights among the blood eggs, their qualities surpassed those of the previous batch.

A total of 104 pups had hatched, with the ratio of beastman pups to half-beastman pups to human pups being 42:26:36.

This far exceeded everyone's expectations!

Everyone was simply incredulous. Starblog's first batch of blood eggs had already become a trending topic, and now seven of the top ten trending topics were related to this event.

From the contaminated eggs in the galaxy to the damaged eggs no one dared to handle, and finally to the multi-yolk egg, this person, who had only been a breeder for half a year, delivered a result beyond perfection on his second attempt.

Bai Xiaoyu's reputation soared across the galaxy. Media outlets not only crowned him the galaxy's top breeder but also praised his ability to solve any difficult cases.

The number of viewers in the live stream continued to grow, and everyone focused their attention on the last tiny, motionless egg.

Could this egg, which had never moved, also be expected to hatch?

Various galactic forces also set their sights on this egg. Many had originally come for this particular egg, as intelligence suggested it belonged to someone important. If its quality was good, it could become a potential candidate. In this era, every family had royal blood, and whether a rival was a genius or a failure greatly affected them.

Seeing these eggs nurtured so well, they all felt a chill down their spines and became wary of Bai Xiaoyu. Now that the supposedly useless sibling had risen, another challenging egg could be problematic...

Feng Shuang'er also showed a hopeful expression. She had previously asked Bai Xiaoyu to exclude her from the live stream projection.

The woman beside Bai Qing watched his expression, her eyes flickering with a hint of darkness. She slowly spoke, "Xiaoyu is now so remarkable. It seems His Majesty and Sister will get their wish."

Bai Qing remained expressionless, his gaze fixed on the tiny egg, suddenly frowning.

And the much-anticipated little one seemed oblivious to everyone's gaze, remaining still.

Even the pups who were resting after playing turned their heads to look over. What's wrong with Little One? He was the first one to move, always following Papa for hugs. What is he doing now? Could he have fallen asleep?

Several pups gathered around, and the first one out, the pure human pup, even crawled into the incubation compartment and pushed the little white egg with his tiny hands.

After pushing several times, the little white egg remained motionless.

The little pup became anxious and started making "ah ah ah" sounds at the little white egg.

Get up already, stop pretending.

At this moment, a Siberian husky pup with three flames on his head also ran over. His color had already returned. He tilted his head and howled at the little white egg. Receiving no response, he directly used his paws to prod it back and forth, even mimicking the action of burying poop with his paws.

Little One finally couldn't take it anymore and suddenly jumped.

The audience in the live stream went "huh," as this was the first time they saw the little white egg move.

At that moment, Little One gritted his teeth inside the shell. "Ha Yi, I'll remember you."

The Siberian husky pup didn't care about Little One's feelings. Seeing the little white egg move, he excitedly howled and called over his two brothers, who were gnawing on their fathers' clothes.

"Brothers, let's help Little One break out of the shell."

The three Siberian husky pups tilted their heads, rolled their eyes, and all joined in.

Opening their mouths wide, they started gnawing at the little white egg.

The two fathers, seeing their sleeves and pant legs torn into ribbons, rushed over and picked up the three howling Siberian husky pups.

The three pups were dissatisfied; they hadn't helped Little One yet. Why were they being pulled away?

Let us down; we can still gnaw!

Speaking of which, they didn't expect Little One to be so hard despite looking small. No wonder he hadn't broken out of the shell yet.

Bai Xiaoyu just watched, not worried about the pups biting. Little One had grown quite a bit during this period. Although he was still the smallest among all the eggs, his shell had gradually become harder, and the outer protective layer had been removed.

The two fathers looked at the saliva-covered little white egg, its heartbeat still pounding, hoping there was nothing wrong with it.

Suddenly, a light "crack" sound was heard, and their expressions froze.

No way?

Bai Xiaoyu walked over and patted the stiffened pair. "Don't worry, it's about to break out."

Ye Feng sighed in relief, shaking his torn sleeve. "So that's what it was, scared me."

He turned and glared fiercely at his three children, who were in their animal forms. "Look what you did to the eggshell! If anything goes wrong, I'll throw you three over, especially you, Ha Yi!"

The three pups ignored him and started attacking the untouched part of his pants, only to be picked up and scolded by the other father.

Bai Xiaoyu found their family amusing and then picked up Little One. Little One nestled in his brother's arms, feeling aggrieved. He wanted to delay breaking out of the shell, but the three brothers' antics and gnawing made him lose his patience.

Little One was placed back in the incubation room, under everyone's gaze. Unlike the other eggs that broke out violently and quickly, this egg remained still for a long time. After a while, it finally moved, as if something gently tapped from inside, without any vibration. After one tap, it seemed tired and took a while before tapping again.

Many of the hatched pups were lulled to sleep by the soft tapping sounds and were put back into the incubation compartments.

The little white egg kept tapping until dawn, and the movements inside gradually diminished.

Everyone was alarmed; this clearly indicated it wouldn't break out.

Could there be an egg that even this genius breeder couldn't hatch?

At this moment, Bai Kan stretched inside the shell. He had gone to the scene with the big black egg but left when Feng Shuang'er arrived.

This dog brother sure knows how to keep calm. If he hadn't known the truth, he would have been fooled too.

The live stream audience called out, "Broadcaster, go check it out!"

"First, see if it can break out. If the pup inside can't break out on its own, you need to help from the outside. But try to avoid it if possible, as forcibly breaking the egg might affect the pup's potential or worse..."

Bai Xiaoyu walked over and picked it up. Everyone immediately noticed the egg had stopped moving entirely, causing panic in the live stream, urging Bai Xiaoyu to break the shell from the outside.

No one expected that after everything seemed to be going well, the egg would suddenly fail to break out at the last moment.

Bai Xiaoyu glanced at Feng Shuang'er, noticing her barely concealed disappointment. She turned away when she saw him looking.

He looked down at the little white egg and patted it.

Before his hand could leave, cracks appeared on the eggshell. He extended a single finger and touched the crack, causing the top of the shell to split into several pieces and fall off.

In fact, the shell had already been completely marked by Little One's sharp claws, requiring no effort at all.

As the shell fell, everyone finally saw the scene inside.

A premature pure human pup, looking like six months old, very small, curled up in a ball, smaller than a palm.

Seeming to notice the shell had opened, the tightly closed eyes tried to open, the eyelids twitched a few times but failed. The tiny hand lifted, trying to touch Bai Xiaoyu, but fell back down weakly.

This frail appearance brought tears to the eyes of the live stream audience.

Bai Xiaoyu's lips twitched. Can you believe this guy chased my mental energy for three hours in this form?

Inside the metal egg, the big tiger watching the live stream rolled its eyes. A plant, really good at pretending!

Bai Xiaoyu picked up the tiny bundle and cleaned it.

At this moment, Ha Yi came over. "Hey, Little One, why do you look like this?"

He swept his tail over Little One, and Little One's trembling hand precisely grabbed the tip of his tail.

Then, a shrill scream echoed throughout the breeding room, "Aaah!"

All the newly sleeping pups were startled awake and glared at Ha Yi with hostility. Even Ye Feng came over, grabbed the back of Ha Yi's neck, and slapped his little bottom, "You're causing trouble again. What are you howling for in the middle of the night?"

Ha Yi felt wronged and kept puffing out his tail.

No one believed him. How much strength could that little one have? You must be making excuses after getting into trouble. I didn't expect you to be a cunning Siberian Husky.

Bai Xiaoyu's mouth twitched. Knowing the truth, he couldn't say anything at the moment. He could only let the little pup suffer a bit of injustice.

His expression unchanged, he pointed at the little one's nose, "Naughty. Welcome to this world, little one."

After saying this, he turned to look where Feng Shuang'er was standing, only to find that she had quietly left. And his previously stuck guardian application had entered a review process.

Many factions breathed a sigh of relief. The egg looked so frail it could die at any moment, just as the intelligence suggested. Whether it would survive to adulthood was uncertain. This talent is even worse than his brother's. It was said that Feng Shuang'er claimed to be on vacation but had actually gone there; it was unknown if she would bring him back to raise.

Bai Xiaoyu picked up the little one and placed him inside the alchemy cauldron, which was a blind spot for the live stream. No one except him could see inside. At this moment, the little one suddenly opened his eyes. His black, grape-like eyes rolled around, and he gave Bai Xiaoyu a big smile.

"Hello, big brother."

Soon, he crawled around inside the alchemy cauldron. As he crawled, the little pup suddenly transformed into a palm-sized white tiger, completely silver without a single blemish. Seven small antennae sprouted from his head, wiggling excitedly.

At this moment, the palm-sized white tiger running around inside the cauldron was no less energetic than the Siberian Husky outside. He wagged his tail at Bai Xiaoyu, and when he got a response, he jumped happily and twisted three times.
