Chapter 511: Interstellar World Farming (24)

"Quality meets standards, drug effect obvious, transplant immediately."

Hearing this, the robot behind Shen Yao stepped forward, hurriedly using its mechanical arm to dig up the seedling before it.

Shen Yao raised her head to glance at the surrounding situation, then simply set the standards via her wristband and let the robots operate on their own.

Most of this Ningshen Grass planted under the Banyan Tree has already stabilized in properties; transplanting it to the farm now won't affect anything.

It's just a pity that there aren't many environments suitable for Ningshen Grass growth right now; the corresponding yield problem will likely cause a headache for a while.

After piloting a flying vehicle outside all day, when she returned to her residence in the evening, Shen Yao unsurprisingly received a piece of not-too-good news.

The Federal Government expressed satisfaction with the effects of this new nutrient solution, but pressured by Shen Yao's temporary inability to provide sufficient usable raw materials, the pricing and sales method of the nutrient solution still needed to be renegotiated.

In words one can understand: the previous discussions are void; they want more.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao snapped her wristband message shut with a *pa* sound, so angry she reached out and pounded the tabletop.

Xu Zi Qing handed over a beverage, "Ask an exorbitant price, pay back on the spot.

Right now, only we exclusively possess the raw materials for this type of nutrient solution; no matter what, the Federal Government cannot openly seize them."

Although Xu Zi Qing doesn't know how Shen Yao cultivated the Ningshen Grass, he fully understands what enormous profits the Ningshen Grass will bring them.

The Federal Government has talent in abundance; their control experiments are even more detailed than theirs. Choosing to make concessions rather than explicitly demanding benefits proves the Federal Government hasn't found replaceable backup materials either. All things considered, their side holds the advantage.

"What's feared is the Federal Government's appetite being too large," give too much and Shen Yao's heart aches, give too little and the other party won't agree.

Lifting her head and sipping the beverage brought to her lips, Shen Yao thought: worst case, just wait a bit longer; anyway, her side can afford to drag it out.

Temporarily setting aside the disappointing topic, Shen Yao asked about the Xu Family situation from Xu Zi Qing.

They've been back on Chaoyang Star for half a year; heard the three newcomers the Xu Family cultivated performed excellently, letting the Xu Family breathe a huge sigh of relief.

"Didn't go looking for trouble with Xu Zi Jin again, right?" Mentioning this is a bit funny.

Xu Zi Jin belongs to "dark in the east, bright in the west"; away from the Xu Family he actually gets along better and better in the army. It's just that Tang Mian Mian is a bit weird; surrounded by numerous outstanding youths, yet no major conflict has arisen.

"Xu Zi Jin was transferred to the frontline Interstellar Battlefield," the two sides won't meet for a short time, and with their current unequal status in the army, even if the Xu Family is furious, they can't conjure an enemy out of nothingness to take revenge on his behalf.

"The star-grade battlefield is fraught with crises but also full of opportunities," if Xu Zi Jin makes something more of himself, *tsk*, Shen Yao doesn't dare imagine how ugly the Xu Family elders' faces would look.

Xu Zi Qing braced both hands on the table, "The Xu Family's current biggest concern is land reclamation," after all, the Xu Family has had only expenses and no income for so long. Xu Zi Jin's issue is easily solved; it's just that the Xu Family didn't care much before. "If the land reclamation goes smoothly, we'll likely see the outcome of certain matters soon."

Shen Yao smiled and blinked, sincerely hoping "the Xu Family can hold on a bit longer," who told them their accumulated capital isn't enough to enter the game? Have to say, the Xu Family's industries really make one envious.

Xu Zi Qing wore a pampering expression as he reached out and gently rubbed Shen Yao's head, "Rest assured, the Xu Family hopes for that more than anyone," after all, they all like digging into their own walls; slow nibbling guarantees more profit, a sudden collapse leaves only ruins.

Life on Chaoyang Star was peaceful and warm; although the nutrient solution matter hadn't been finalized yet, everything else was progressing steadily.

Carrying out targeted transformation on the purchased exploration planets, then expanding the inherent industries on other residential planets to increase revenue.

Shen Yao's wristband received large amounts of Federal Currency every day; using this Federal Currency to purchase exploration planets, cycling endlessly like this, causing the number of planets in Shen Yao's hands to grow ever larger, wealth accumulation ever greater, and industries ever more comprehensive and rich.

By the time Shen Yao finally had a chance to stop and check, unknowingly, she had already far surpassed her plan and reached heights she had never imagined.

Shen Yao:... So this is why the rich get richer? Love it, love it.

'Host, good things come in pairs; the Federal Government has agreed to sell on a split-account basis per the original agreement. After dragging on for years, congratulations to Host for gaining the upper hand.'

The system originally wanted to say 'victory', but after thinking it over, this doesn't count either; after all, Host gave the Federal Government plenty of face, a middling-to-high concession share — what a loss.

'No loss, no loss; having the nutrient solution ride the Federal Government's special channel saves a huge marketing expense,' the concession share was Shen Yao's precisely calculated figure, guaranteeing she could also make a big profit from it.

The wristband chimed *didi* in real time; opening it revealed a communication reply from the Federal Government.

After confirming the documents had no issues and undergoing specialized machine inspection (including Xu Zi Qing's re-confirmation), Shen Yao signed her name and sent a unified command to the harvester robots to begin the Ningshen Grass collection work.

Years of back-and-forth between the two sides had caused the Ningshen Grass to be stockpiled to an astonishing quantity.

Selling it all to the Federal Government in one go, Shen Yao only needs to wait peacefully for the money from now on.

The system came running over happily to claim credit; it had helped find three Spiritual Energy Planets (adding one more). Although the planet areas were a bit small and the plantable regions not many, this was still the fruit of its hard work.

'I'll forever remember your contribution in my heart,' Shen Yao painted a big pie effortlessly, 'Cheng Yu and Cheng Yi are already ten; the possibility of early spiritual power awakening is growing. They are the most important mission of this trip. System, understand my meaning?'

System:...

Although... it doesn't really want to understand.

Unwillingly digging into its own pocket, it produced two pills floating before Shen Yao, the system dryly explaining that eating this would bring great benefits to oneself.

'Can it make their awakened abilities more outstanding?' Shen Yao put them away and casually guessed.

System bristled, 'No, please let Host and System respect science together.'

Shen Yao:... The System's very existence isn't very scientific, okay?

'They can fully stimulate their innate talent, able to burst forth with maximum potential.'

If a person's theoretical maximum talent potential is 20%, but actual eruption is only 10%, then after this pill, this person's actual eruption will reach 20%.

There is no possibility of exceeding 20%; such a pill the System cannot produce either.

Shen Yao raised an eyebrow, 'Enough,' she doesn't expect the two kids to expand territory and change dynasties for her; smoothly taking over the industries in her hands and growing them stronger in their lifetime is her greatest expectation.

Found an opportunity to feed the pills to the two children, Cheng Yu and Cheng Yi, respectively.

Looking at the healthy, lively brats, Shen Yao was in a rare good mood.

Xu Zi Qing walked over, pointing at the two enrollment registration forms sent to Shen Yao via wristband, concerning Cheng Yu and Cheng Yi's school arrangements.

No matter which mission world, children can never escape the two words "study".

Previously considering the Xu Family might interfere, the two had to be cautious.

Right now the Xu Family is a mess, too busy with their own affairs, so it lets them handle the two children's matters with peace of mind.

The children Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi don't dislike going to school, but the two of them... being too smart also makes choosing a school difficult.

Three years, already changed planets several times, dozens of schools; the couple expressed they were heart-tired.

This time, Xu Zi Qing was ruthless too, choosing the Lian Dun Academy, reputed as the best in the N62 Star System.

You should know Lian Dun Academy occupies several planets; internally it covers all large, medium, and small courses. Once you go in, you basically can't come out without graduating.

There is no shortage of geniuses there; one could even say geniuses are merely the threshold for entering Lian Dun Academy.

Every year, students graduating from Lian Dun Academy achieve astonishing results without exception.

Originally, with Xu Zi Qing and Shen Yao's family background, they temporarily could not reach this academy's admission standard; helplessly, Xu Father and Xu Mother were too capable, and Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi gloriously rubbed onto Grandfather and Grandmother's reputation and were smoothly admitted.

"Lian Dun Academy is on N05 Planet; new students have a three-month adaptation period," once a problem appears that does not conform to Lian Dun Academy, they will be sent out of the academy and placed on a blacklist, never to be admitted again.

"It just so happens that the few exploration planets just purchased are not far from N05 Planet," during the process of sending off the children they could conveniently handle the exploration planets' matters as well.

The couple discussed it thoroughly, then coordinated with Xu Father and Xu Mother, and directly packed both brats onto the spaceship heading to N05 Planet.

"After handling the planets' matters this time, we still need to find time to make a trip back to N25 Planet."

Once Xu Zi Qing finished speaking, Shen Yao knew the reason for returning without even turning her head, "How much property did the Xu Family give up this time?"

A single 'again' word successfully pointed out the Xu Family's situation of retreating step by step these years.

In the past when the Xu Family sold property, they would still package it up, putting on a show to make them Xu Family members go back.

Nowadays the Xu Family sells property, directly not even bothering to package it, openly laying it out, truly living themselves into a joke.

"Not comparable to last time, only 5%," Xu Zi Qing shrugged her shoulders, indicating the Xu Family still wants face; this may also have something to do with selling to their own people.

After all this 5% targets their own family members, unlike the previous 10% which openly benefited outsiders (actually their own people wearing vests, deceiving themselves).

"Any decent properties?" The Xu Family hasn't been cut to the artery yet; wanting to buy good quality at low prices still requires waiting.

"Among them mineral resources are the most abundant, daily entertainment and travel equipment are also included," Xu Zi Qing slid her finger up to check the list, pointing out that what was brought out this time are all scraps; no wonder they are willing to sell to their own people.

Other people fundamentally look down on these things; it's just that Xu Family members are numerous, in earlier years they ate their fill relying on the Xu Family, and at this current juncture being targeted by the Xu Family also counts as seeing things through to the end.

Coldly laughing once, Xu Zi Qing explained their return time is not urgent; after all not everyone wants to buy.

Shen Yao expressed that regardless, she indeed had to go back and take a look at the situation; anyway it is the Xu Family's own property, they already bought so many before, if not a loss then count it as fulfilling some clan obligations.

System:... such niche wording, why is Host's face skin able to be this thick?

Shen Yao:... extraordinary talent, understand?

The spaceship traveled for one and a half months before finally arriving at N05 Planet.

Lian Dun Academy's area is very large, including the entire N05 Planet and most surrounding exploration planets within it, all are the academy's scope.

Even when the spaceship entered Lian Dun Academy's scope, it was intercepted by patrolling personnel.

Who let those able to enter Lian Dun Academy to study all be heaven's proud children, high-level dignitaries; if they were wiped out in one go by some ill-intentioned people, the Federal Government would also have to lose face.

Relying on the admission notice to obtain entry tickets, Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing sent the two children to the place, left them sufficient living expenses, then the two turned to the exploration planets surrounding N05 Planet to conduct inspections.

For the entire N62 Star System, Star Lords like Shen Yao are too numerous to count, but for N80 Planet and L98 Planet governments, Shen Yao is the golden financier in their eyes.

Every time there is planet sale news, they will prioritize sending it to Shen Yao for browsing, striving to sell as soon as possible and recover funds.

Currently this situation has already slowly expanded to several other surrounding planets, also causing Shen Yao's owned planet count to grow more and more, and along with it Shen Yao even possesses her own detection team and transformation team.

Mainly making money for herself to spend, internally forming a closed loop, assets multiplying.

The newly purchased exploration planets are just ordinary planting planets; one has a high ocean area ratio, one is entirely plains inside, one has more mountains and uneven oxygen content; after the detection team's assessment, for these planets to recover costs requires at least calculating in double-digit years.

Shen Yao tapped away on her wristband, finally selecting the simplest planting and livestock varieties.

Next is the transformation team and farming robots' matter; only need to issue instructions and have other people come handle it.

Because of Lian Dun Academy's matter, Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing stayed an extra three months, until confirming Xu Cheng Yu and Xu Cheng Yi's performance was good, only then did they rest assured and activate the spaceship to leave.

"According to Federal Government news, Zerg activity traces were discovered near W7890 Planet, signal interruption affecting the entire star-rated battlefield, causing the government and frontline army to lose contact..."

Shen Yao finished listening to the news inside her wristband, asking Xu Zi Qing whether this interstellar battlefield has Xu Family people in it.

"Coincidentally, Xu Zi Jin is also there," Xu Zi Qing put down the bowl and chopsticks she had eaten half of, pulled up her wristband's content to browse again, "Looks like this trip back to N25 Planet, the properties available to buy will increase."

Shen Yao:...

"The Xu Family knew the news earlier than us," sometimes thinking about it is quite sympathetic, truly too miserable.

Xu Zi Qing neither confirmed nor denied; however in just a few years, three people selected, one dead, two barely surviving.

Oh, originally among the two barely surviving another unknown life-or-death situation appeared; with this kind of accident probability, better to give up pioneering early.

"Should be impossible," money-making business how can one give up just because they say give up; who knows the public might turn private.

If Shen Yao didn't remember wrong, starting from Xu Zi Jin, the Xu Family's selected candidates were all not from the direct line; does the direct line have no geniuses? Rather it looks more like not wanting the bargain to fall to the Xu Family.
