Chapter 203

The little golden tiger was taken away by Big Black Egg, and Bai Xiaoyu and Xiao Lü began preparing two different types of nutrient solutions for the cubs.

These nutrient solutions required manual preparation, and it took Bai Xiaoyu a full three days to refine enough for an entire month's supply.

During these days, Qi Yun tried every possible way to get close to Bai Xiaoyu, but he never found an opportunity. The reason was simple; they were located near the breeding facility in the interns' training facility. If he weren’t part of the research team, he wouldn’t even be able to enter the building.

Every day, he watched as the interns removed dark substances from the eggs. Other researchers were amazed, curious, and envious of the interns' skills, with some even considering learning from them. However, lost in thought, Qi Yun felt only impatience as he watched the repetitive process of removing dark substances from the eggs.

For three whole days, Bai Xiaoyu didn’t appear.

Back in the day, if he lingered a little longer in any place at school, he would soon see Bai Xiaoyu approaching with his henchmen.

Who would have thought he'd ever spend three days waiting for Bai Xiaoyu without even seeing him?

That little golden tiger had scratched his face, annoying him greatly. Occasionally encountering it, the tiger would bare its teeth and even warn him to stay away from Bai Xiaoyu. And then there was Lü Fei from the dragon clan, a complete lunatic. Every time he saw Qi Yun, he would punch him.

The punches looked light, but every time he ended up flattened.

Now, just seeing Lü Fei made the spot where he had been hit start to hurt.

He had always thought Xiao Lü was a rival for Bai Xiaoyu's affection, and even though he couldn’t fight back, he endured the punches. When he asked his grandfather for justice, he was told to endure it.

His grandfather said if he could fight back, he should; if not, he should avoid Lü Fei. As for intervening in fights between the younger generation, with the dragon clan's protective nature and Lü Fei being a sub-adult dragon, if he intervened, he would be the one lying flat in two days. He was also reminded not to disrupt Bai Qi's grand plan.

Moreover, the interns and other staff here looked at him as if he were a homewrecker.

Here, everyone was against him, and Qi Yun was furious. It wasn’t like this back on Imperial Star.

To make matters worse, after all the beatings and contemptuous treatment, he realized that the silent, stoic bodyguard-like person next to Bai Xiaoyu was now considered Bai Xiaoyu's partner by the breeding facility.

Before this, he had been at odds with Lü Fei, so did that mean the beatings he endured those days were for nothing?

Qi Yun was fuming, feeling a bit dazed by the vigilant looks from everyone around him. Back on Imperial Star, whenever Bai Xiaoyu appeared, people would watch the drama unfold. Even his henchmen were traitors. Although Bai Xiaoyu seemed to have people around him, he had always fought his battles alone.

Now, everyone here was clearly and sincerely protective of him.

When did this guy manage to gather so many loyal people around him?

He suddenly recalled that many factions on Imperial Star, including Bai Qi, had considered Bai Xiaoyu a potential contender for that position. At the time, he had scoffed, thinking they were overestimating that loser.

Now... his gaze finally fell on the interns. Watching the dark substances being removed and sensing the oppressive fluctuations of mental energy emanating from them, even though he was a highly talented pharmacist from Imperial Star, with his mental energy now at the peak of 2S+, he couldn’t see through these novice interns.

As the grandson of the president of Imperial Star's Pharmacist Association and the most gifted young pharmacist in the new generation of Imperial Star, he had been surpassed by these interns!

This couldn’t be possible.

Not only him, but Old Qi was also extremely shocked. Meanwhile, in their collaboration with Elder Han and Elder Chen, both sides were waiting for an opportunity to take Bai Xiaoyu away.

However, the protection around Bai Xiaoyu was as strong as that of the emperor in Imperial Star, and they couldn’t find an opening.

The leaders were distracted, and while the research team made little progress in studying dark substances, the interns and team members bonded, exchanged knowledge, and made some discoveries. It turned out that the previous dark substances, which were more aggressive and corrosive towards the eggs, now leaned more towards being carriers and catalysts.

The former was stubborn and hard to remove, while the latter was the opposite.

That day, everyone was buzzing with excitement as the first batch of eggs cultivated by the interns was about to hatch. The star network was also highly anticipated, with many already waiting in live streams to witness the interns' achievements and the future of the star system's eggs.

Bai Xiaoyu and the interns got up early and arrived at the breeding facility, only to find Zhou Miaomiao already walking excitedly around the eggs.

Seeing them approach, Zhou Miaomiao, touching the eggs, became a bit incoherent: "Mentor, some parents have already arrived at the door, but the eggs are still not showing any signs of hatching. I'm... nervous..."

The interns understood that it was her first hands-on breeding and offered words of encouragement.

Bai Xiaoyu also cheered her on, "Don't be nervous. Just let things unfold naturally. After working so hard for so long, there shouldn't be any problems. We're all waiting for your good news."

Zhou Miaomiao nodded, determined to deliver satisfactory results.

She started a live broadcast, and by this time, members of the royal family and various powerful factions, as well as the people on the star network, were all paying attention to this event. Their eyes fell on Bai Xiaoyu, who stood nearby with a calm expression. If Zhou Miaomiao could hatch eggs with perfect proportions, the future of these newborn cubs would be bright.

Zhou Miaomiao took a deep breath and efficiently arranged for the arriving parents. At that moment, the first egg made a sound, and she walked towards it...

The first to hatch was a beastman cub, with a loud voice and very agile little claws—a healthy cub, just as lively as those Bai Xiaoyu had hatched.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

The second was a pure human cub, also more spirited than the cubs born in other breeding facilities...

The third...

A total of sixty eggs hatched, with the final numbers of beastman, half-beastman, and pure human cubs being 18:18:24.

This was the perfect ratio for newborn cubs in the star system!

The interns under Bai Xiaoyu's guidance had succeeded!

The live stream quickly exploded with excitement. For millennia, the star system, long shadowed by dark substances, seemed to glimpse a new dawn of hope.

This alone was enough to excite everyone, but they continued to watch the cubs intently, as the next step was the aptitude test.

Only if the aptitude levels were consistent would they truly be considered to have overcome the dark substances.

Soon, in the tense atmosphere, the cubs' aptitude results came out.

The lowest was B-, with only one cub having this level of physical aptitude. The highest was mental energy aptitude of 2S-, also only one cub. The aptitudes of the other cubs ranged between B and S, with the majority being A, which was twice the number in the B range.

The aptitude range for cubs in the star system spans from D to 2S, covering over 95% of the star system population. Naturally, the aptitudes of cubs in the star system vary in strength, barring external factors. In past batches, aside from cubs with S-level aptitude or higher, most fell within the C to B range.

Bai Xiaoyu looked at the cubs hatched by Zhou Miaomiao. These cubs were, on average, one grade lower than those hatched by Bai Xiaoyu.

However, with time and improvement in their skills, in three to five years, they might be able to achieve the best aptitudes and zero dark substances at birth.

Bai Xiaoyu was very pleased. This would take time, and his deputy caretaker had already done her best with her current abilities.

The live broadcast room instantly became lively, and many factions shifted their attention to the other excited interns.

There was no question about the top two, who had already become Bai Xiaoyu's deputy caretakers.

The others still had potential.

The interns were about to graduate and were expected to return to the academy to receive their diplomas in the next one or two months. By then, it would depend on who could successfully recruit these interns.

The various factions were eagerly calculating, and the star network's trending topics continued to rise.

Soon, the entire star system knew that an intern had perfectly inherited Bai Xiaoyu's skills, and the other interns from the top two programs at the imperial military academy were certainly not to be underestimated.

The true conquest of dark substances, along with the ability to pass down this technique, left them incredibly excited.

At that moment, Bai Xiaoyu remained extremely calm in his bustling live stream room, where viewers were screaming and calling him a "dog streamer." A newly hatched cub crawled over and hugged his leg.

He picked up the cub. Since this was a joint broadcast, someone in the chat asked, "Streamer, are they about to graduate? Will you still take interns from the Imperial Military Academy?"

The students from the breeding and potion programs at the Imperial Military Academy held their breath, waiting for Bai Xiaoyu’s answer. Similarly, two old professors were equally nervous.

Bai Xiaoyu nodded, then shook his head, leaving everyone stunned.

"Streamer, what do you mean? Are you going to take them or not?"

Bai Xiaoyu smiled and spoke with firmness, "Of course, I will take them. But it won't be limited to just students from the breeding and potion programs at the Imperial Military Academy. This time, we will establish the first school on D36 planet that combines breeding and potion studies into one. Due to the insufficient teaching staff in the early stages, we can only take in a portion of the interns. In the future, it will be open to the entire star system, whether they are about to intern or have already become breeders. I hope all breeders or potion makers who want to eliminate the dark substances from the eggs can improve themselves through learning."

The live stream room fell silent for a moment, and the next second, it exploded with excitement.

Soon, the entire star system was buzzing. Interns from the two ace programs at the Imperial Military Academy had perfectly inherited Bai Xiaoyu's skills. The true conquest of dark substances and the inheritance of the technology had everyone thrilled.

"But the whole process will be very tough, so think carefully before coming," Bai Xiaoyu added.

After the excitement, someone suddenly asked, "With so many people, can you handle it all by yourself?"

Bai Xiaoyu shook his head, "Of course not by myself alone."

At this moment, the interns walked over with their heads held high, "Aren't there also us who are about to graduate? Don't forget, we signed a three-year contract."

This move by the interns left many forces dumbfounded.

Some interns who had been contacted before now found themselves blocked.

Were they stood up? No amount of fame or fortune could sway them. What did Bai Xiaoyu do to win them over?!

President Luo next to him was also very satisfied. Those who had already become breeders would be arranged by his Breeding Association. However, in the early stages, priority would still be given to other interns. The main reason was that most breeders had eggs to tend to and couldn't leave.

The star lord and district leader of D36 planet were also present, smiling from ear to ear. Bai Xiaoyu had discussed this matter with them before, and now the school was in the process of land acquisition and construction.

A once-marginalized planet, rebuilt just two or three years ago, was about to host its first higher education institution. It would accept top students from institutions across the star system.

The breeding and potion programs, no matter which institution they were in, were highly competitive, with top-tier admission standards. The students' physical condition and mental energy were excellent, basically belonging to the best batch of students.

Thinking of this, he stood a little straighter.

Breeder Bai was a true blessing for the eggs of D36 and the entire star system.
