Chapter 507: Interstellar World Farming (20)

When Shen Yao was three months pregnant, Xu Father and Xu Mother's spaceship arrived at W4521 Planet.

Xu Father and Xu Mother did not know Shen Yao was pregnant, so as soon as they got off the spaceship, they were stunned in place.

"Why didn't you tell us privately?" Xu Mother slapped Xu Zi Qing hard, nearly driven to death by her unreliable son.

Xu Zi Qing was helpless, thinking this was because Xu Father and Xu Mother came too quickly; they two hadn't had time to say anything.

Xu Mother:...

Xu Mother speechlessly glared at Xu Zi Qing, then turned to Shen Yao to chat and laugh.

After all, her daughter-in-law was carrying a child; no matter how angry she was at her son, she couldn't show dissatisfaction in front of her daughter-in-law.

Shen Yao:...

"Mom, it's not Zi Qing's business, it's me" wanting to wait a while before saying.

Before she finished speaking, Xu Mother immediately turned the topic back onto Xu Zi Qing, dragging Xu Father into the scolding as well.

Uh, Shen Yao immediately felt it wasn't good to continue speaking; she worried she'd make more mistakes the more she said, so she'd wait for Xu Zi Qing to explain properly in private.

The four turned back to the Residence. Shen Yao took advantage of Xu Father and Xu Mother just arriving and being physically tired, quickly telling someone to let them rest well; they had plenty of time, and talking and communicating wasn't urgent for just a moment or two.

Xu Mother thought about it; indeed, that made sense.

She waved her hand, temporarily separating from Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing, then smilingly pulled Xu Father to rest lying down.

They slept for a whole day and night. By the time Xu Father and Xu Mother came downstairs from the Building, it was already the evening of the next day.

Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing entered from Outside, each carrying a bag of freshly picked Fruit.

After the Housekeeping Robot washed them clean and sent them to the Living Room, seeing Xu Father and Xu Mother appear, Shen Yao introduced some Specialty Products of W4521 Planet, suggesting that when Xu Father and Xu Mother weren't busy, they could drive Flying Vehicles out to look around.

Xu Father and Xu Mother were Research Institute personnel, long stationed at Exploration Planets working, knowing quite a bit about certain knowledge of planets.

Knowing W4521 Planet was Shen Yao's private property, Xu Mother volunteered to say that she and Xu Father would walk around here again when they had time, to prevent overlooking any planet Resources.

After all, Xu Mother was very good at this kind of work; when at Exploration Planets, she and Xu Father also slept in the wind and lodged in the dew all day, otherwise they wouldn't have left Xu Zi Qing at the Xu Family for over ten years, causing Xu Zi Qing no small childhood trauma.

"Mom, this is"

Shen Yao looked at the beautiful box Xu Mother directly pushed in front of her, understanding it contained a Meeting Gift.

"You and Zi Qing's Wedding, your dad and I were trapped at Exploration Planets and couldn't come back.

Although some Meeting Gifts had already been sent via Interstellar Express, the especially important ones still had to be carried personally."

For example, the box before her eyes; Xu Mother smiled and opened it, revealing the true face of the Meeting Gift inside.

"It's too precious," Shen Yao dared not accept.

Good grief, giving a World Core as a necklace? Although the blue teardrop pendant was indeed beautiful, Shen Yao still couldn't do such a Tycoon behavior of carrying a whole planet on one's person.

A gift given away has no reason to be taken back; Xu Mother told Shen Yao not to worry and just keep it, "Not as precious as imagined; although it is a World Core, its overall value isn't worth much."

Shen Yao:... That's still a World Core, an existence people would fight over if placed Outside, but her mother-in-law casually made it into jewelry to give away; what kind of Rich person was this?

Could it be her father-in-law and mother-in-law were that kind of invisible Tycoon, keeping a low profile normally, only revealing themselves when necessary?

"Mom and Dad are professional Exploration Personnel, with many chances to come into contact with World Cores normally.

This World Core contains too low energy; selling it wouldn't be worth much," Xu Zi Qing said, picking up the necklace embedded with the blue teardrop pendant and hanging it around Shen Yao's Neck.

"What Zi Qing said is right; this World Core contains gentle energy, beneficial to the human body.

You are Nowadays Pregnant; wearing it regularly can alleviate physical discomfort."

Not only that, this World Core came from a planet rich in Mining Wealth, and was also a kind of extremely special Star Ore, having significant effects on improving mental power.

Xu Mother originally planned to give this World Core to Shen Yao as a Meeting Gift. Now, because Shen Yao was Pregnant, her Preparation was insufficient, and she blamed Xu Zi Qing for not handling things well.

Otherwise, Xu Mother could have spent Points to exchange another valued World Core, to serve as a Meeting Gift for the future Grandchild generation (even though the Grandchild generation hadn't been born yet).

But after returning this time, she would spend Points to exchange, and by the way buy the planet, saving Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing from worrying about these things again.

Just didn't know what type of Specialty Product planet the two of them liked...

Xu Mother's thoughts wandered far; by the time she Regained Senses, she had already thought out the plan.

After all, she and Xu Father only had Xu Zi Qing one child; the two had struggled and worked hard for many years, wanting more to save some family wealth for Descendants.

So when Xu Mother said she would directly give Shen Yao a planet, Xu Zi Qing was quite calm, and by the way proposed that the two of them valued a planet with lush Grass and Flowers more; that kind of planet was suitable for Planting Technique, a sure profit without loss.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao slightly embarrassed raised her hand and patted Xu Zi Qing's arm; how to put it, wasn't it a bit too Impolite? At least save some face.

Xu Zi Qing smiled and comforted Shen Yao not to be too Courteous with Xu Father and Xu Mother; they were Family after all.

Xu Father and Xu Mother came for a trip, stayed for not long, and then left in a hurry again.

However, before leaving, the two explored W4521 Planet again, marking several locations rich in Mining Wealth, telling Shen Yao she could arrange people to mine at the appropriate Timing.

Whether in Modern Society or the Interstellar World, Mining Wealth was considered one of the valuable Resources.

W4521 Planet's Mining Wealth was average, but compared to the cost Shen Yao spent when buying it, Shen Yao definitely made a big profit.

Looking at her future bulging Purse, Shen Yao touched her somewhat round Face, saying she would continue to expand the scale of renovation.

The previous Planting Technique plan was too peaceful and slow; since there was a plan to save money to buy a planet, she had to speed up making money, learn the advanced Planting Technique concepts of Fruit Star, focus on cultivating medium-to-high priced Crops, and open up Specialty Products belonging to W4521 Planet.

"Actually, Spiritual Plants are really a good choice, especially Species beneficial to improving Shenfu," after all, Shenfu and mental power were shared in the Interstellar World.

Previously, when Shen Yao had just Transmigrated over, because the culture fluid was too expensive, she had to search in the space for Secret Manuals on cultivating Shenfu, relying on spending money (Spirit Stones) to cultivate to make up for the daily consumption of culture fluid.

Now Shen Yao didn't lack money to buy culture fluid, and Spirit Body Chamomile was also steadily improving, but the daily routine of cultivating Shenfu hadn't been abandoned; only with both hands could one better cultivate the Spirit Body.

"Spiritual Plants beneficial to Shenfu are not many, and many rely on Spiritual Energy concentration.

Currently, with this planet's Spiritual Energy, it's extremely difficult to cultivate Spiritual Plants with high cost performance."

After all, the varieties of culture fluid were colorful and diverse, and so many Research Institutes were certainly not decorations.

To make money from this, it wasn't just because of Spiritual Plants; one also needed sufficient Backing.

After all, once it involved Spirit Body cultivation, it was huge profits among huge profits.

To dare to snatch food from the Federal Government, how could one do it without a couple of Brushes on hand?

Taking advantage of the good weather, Shen Yao piloted the flying vehicle to the location where she had previously planted spiritual plants to check on them.

Good news: the spiritual plants' survival rate was extremely high; basically eight or nine out of every ten trees survived.

Bad news: because of insufficient spiritual energy, these spiritual plants' grades dropped, causing the spiritual plants' efficacy to weaken correspondingly.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao did want to raise W4521 Planet's spiritual energy, but she had no way to do it.

Magic Qi could have its source found and be restricted, but spiritual energy was everywhere.

She could only let it develop on its own until it reached a certain node, where quantitative change would trigger qualitative change, letting the entire planet soar.

Letting the flying vehicle navigate back to the residence on its own, Shen Yao touched her somewhat round belly and strolled around everywhere by herself.

Xu Zi Qing returned from the farm, holding the planned blueprints; some areas were already half cleared, and in another month they could plant crops.

Shen Yao ran up to Xu Zi Qing with a beaming smile, startling Xu Zi Qing into hurriedly steadying her; although he knew Shen Yao's body was fine and there was nothing wrong, he simply would feel afraid and worry.

"How is it? How is it?"

Shen Yao looked curiously at the planned blueprints; this was the Phase Two plan, and behind it there were Phase Three, Phase Four... Phase N.

In short, within her lifetime, she would definitely transform the entire planet into the farm appearance she envisioned.

"Everything is going well; it will be finished in a while longer," the rest would have to wait until next year to continue, after all only the two of them lived here, the rest were all purchased functional robots; once the farm's planting area became too large, just relying on them they could not really manage.

Xu Zi Qing had a plan to recruit personnel, but this plan did not target interstellar citizens; rather it was similar to those monkey groups living on Fruit Star, minimizing the danger the two of them faced to the lowest.

However this matter was not urgent; back when Xu Zi Qing found this batch of monkey groups, it was completely a buy-one-get-one-free situation, Fruit Star natives.

Right now, wanting to recruit from other places, it would still be best to choose exploration planets; if there was time, investigate the situation from Xu Father and Xu Mother, they ran around outside all year and should have seen quite a few situations similar to monkey groups.

Supporting Shen Yao inside, Xu Zi Qing washed some fruit and brought it out to set down, then casually mentioned the Xu Family far away on N25 Planet.

Xu Family?

What happened to the Xu Family?

"Xu Zi Jin is still the Xu Family's external spokesperson; recently she is to form a marriage alliance with the Jiang Family of N24 Planet," Xu Zi Qing sent the electronic invitation to Shen Yao.

"The engagement ceremony is arranged for two months from now; do we need to go back?"

At that time her belly would be seven months along; a round trip would be so taxing she might as well give birth.

Xu Zi Qing told Shen Yao not to be nervous; his return this time was considering Shen Yao's childbirth, "The Xu Family has a special cultivation fluid for infants that can effectively enhance the potential to awaken a Spirit Body.

As long as one is a Xu Family member, they get one chance," originally Xu Zi Qing did not plan to make this trip for it, but since Xu Zi Jin's engagement invitation came over, he would not be blamed for conveniently going back to shear some Xu Family wool.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao nodded, "We can go over in advance," then she could also eat melons and listen to gossip at the Xu Family; there were many people there, far more interesting than here.

Said and done; the two people discussed the upcoming schedule, then Xu Zi Qing sped up handling the still-unfinished farm transformation.

After working overtime to bring W4521 Planet's matters to a pause, Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing boarded the spaceship bound for N25 Planet.

The journey took one month (during which they additionally spent half a month stopping at Fruit Star to eat fruit); by the time Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing landed at the Xu Family, it was less than half a month until Xu Zi Jin's engagement ceremony.

The entire Xu Family, top to bottom, became exceptionally busy; even Xu Father and Xu Mother who were outside had to return.

Shen Yao, a pregnant woman, did not need to exert herself; Xu Zi Qing, on the other hand, had to go show his face before the Xu Family elders.

"Wow, Host Host, turns out the main characters of this engagement ceremony are both dissatisfied."

"Tang Mian Mian is also on N25 Planet; the one accompanying her is that Major General."

"... Xu Zi Jin can't let go of Tang Mian Mian? The two of them actually still have contact."

The System spoke gossip in a startled, flustered way, occasionally transforming into a screaming mode, making Shen Yao suspect the System simply deeply understood the essence of modern society's third-rate media, tricking people in to play the fool.

Going out with a protruding belly was inconvenient, and the Xu Family recently had quite a few unfamiliar faces coming and going.

Shen Yao stayed in the room resting until Xu Father and Xu Mother returned, only then did she have someone to chat with.

Xu Mother came up and handed her two documents containing freshly issued Star Certificates.

Shen Yao:...?

"Keep them; it's a little token of intent from me and your dad," the location is right between Fruit Star and W4521 Planet; both are planets lush with vegetation, suitable for farming.

Shen Yao smiled and put them away; the cyan water-drop pendant hanging on her neck glittered.

Half a month later, Shen Yao, supporting her pregnant belly, attended Xu Zi Jin's engagement ceremony together with Xu Zi Qing and even Xu Father and Xu Mother.

The wedding banquet was grand, the man handsome and the woman beautiful; ignoring the principals' ugly expressions, everyone else present was very satisfied.

Pity: halfway through the banquet, an Uninvited Guest suddenly burst in.

The subsequent events are not convenient to elaborate; only known is that this wedding banquet did not proceed, the Xu Family and Jiang Family fell out, and these Xu Family members also suffered displaced anger.

The four of them returned to the residence and quietly discussed today's engagement ceremony.

Truly a happy event turned bad; who could have imagined, Xu Zi Jin was also bold, actually colluding with Tang Mian Mian to directly play the Xu Family a trick.

"This time, Zi Jin will probably be expelled from the Xu Family."

The wrongdoing committed is greater than before; the Xu Family elders will not give him another chance.

Xu Father knows well the Xu Family elders' cruel cold-bloodedness; he still remembers when he was very young, he was punished with hard labor over a trivial matter.

He was still a Xu Family member with decent aptitude; the Xu Family elders' snobbery was not formed in a day or two; Xu Zi Jin's talent could bring him preferential treatment, and equally could bring him trouble.

"The Xu Family has made many external enemies; once Zi Qing is expelled from the Xu Family, his situation" — out of heartache for the younger generation, Xu Mother felt Xu Zi Jin would be even more miserable than before.

The earlier declaration of separation was more like a tantrum; now it is truly drawing a clear line.

Xu Zi Qing felt not a shred of sympathy, "He never considered these things; besides, the Xu Family elders already have a new cultivation target," Xu Zi Jin failed to seize his own opportunity.

"What do we do next?" Continue staying? After all, the purpose of their coming was for the cultivation fluid that had significant effect on the infant.
