After years of boring and long periods of time, Luo Beishi felt for the first time that it was nice to have an orc by his side. Although the orc was not warm at all and his body was cold, it didn't matter, as long as he was warm.
My fingertips lightly touched the man's abs; the skin was smooth, yet firm.
" Lia, did you get enough sleep?"
"Hmm, Quinn, where is this?"
"This is my residence near the Academy of Sciences. It only takes 10 minutes to get Academy of Sciences by hovercar. Let's stay here for now, and we'll move when you get tired of it."
He listened to Quinn's pleasant voice in a daze, his eyes still closed and unable to open for the time being. There was nothing he could do; it was his nature to be sleepy.
"Wouldn't that be very inconvenient? The Academy of Sciences is right here. Moving would be a huge hassle."
"No trouble at all. If all else fails, we can move the Academy of Sciences." Quinn wasn't joking.
Although young, Lia is not stupid; Quinn's words are enough to prove that he calls the shots in the entire Academy of Sciences.
"Most of your subordinates and employees probably live here. Don't act recklessly for your own selfish reasons, Quinn."
A voice above him chuckled pleasantly, " Lia, you seem too mature. It doesn't sound like something an orc would say. Orcs never consider the feelings of others."
Of course, if it harms the interests of other orcs, I will provide appropriate compensation, but I have never considered the interests of other orcs like you have."
Luo Beishi: "Have you forgotten? Our ancestors were also of mixed human and human descent. So many years have passed, it's normal for them to look somewhat human."
At this point, Quinn was laughing so hard his chest was shaking. "I remember a classic line that our ancestors often used: You are not human."
So, you've become like a human being, are you implying that I'm not human?
Lia took a breath, then looked at him with helplessly wide eyes. " Quinn, you know perfectly well that's not what I meant, yet you keep joking with me."
Quinn hugged the person in his arms tighter and gently kissed his head. "Alright, get up and eat. Are you coming with me to the Academy of Sciences later, or are you staying home by yourself?"
Luo Beishi slowly got up, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm afraid to go to places with many orcs. It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I'm easily stressed and can't control myself."
Quinn opened his golden vertical pupils, a handsome smile curving his lips. "It really is better to keep Lia at home, Lia who belongs only to me."
The back of his hand was gently kissed, and even the temperature of his nose was so cold. No wonder he's a cold-blooded animal, Luo Beishi thought to himself.
"The room has Star Network access; I'll send someone to deliver a suitable helmet to you in a bit."
The Planetary Holographic Star Network Center is a place where you can go shopping without leaving home, play games, and even engage in mech battles.
However, Luo Beishi rarely went up to play. When his mother was still alive, he was either in class or on his way to class.
With his mother gone and his father as his guardian, he had to live under someone else's roof until he came of age. So he followed his father to his stepmother's house in the Bitter Family. From then on, he could only stay in that house full of wolves, trembling with fear, and only liked to sneak around at night.
He was afraid they might trample him to death in a fight, and besides, his constitution was the worst among the F-, so staying home would allow him to avoid 90% of the trouble.
So, it's a miracle that he survived for over a decade in the Bitter Family.
In response to Quinn's earlier question, he said, " Quinn. Can I buy whatever I want?"
"Hmm... If Lia wants to do something, then do it bravely, but you must also protect your own safety. Can you do that?"
Looking at the man on the bed with his long, narrow eyes and gentle gaze, Luo Beishi slowly nodded. " Quinn, you're so long-winded."
Quinn said, feeling wronged, "... Ah, Lia, we've only known each other for a short time, have you gotten tired of me so quickly?"
"Alright, get up. Aren't you going to the Academy of Sciences? Do you have an assistant at your residence? You can show me around."
"Have."
-
Quinn finally went to work.
At this moment, Luo Beishi was touring the manor under Quinn's command, led by the bird-beastman Ma Que. Looking at the barren manor, devoid of life, he seemed to awaken memories etched into his DNA.
He now has a brilliant idea; he has a book on agriculture in his ancient collection.
Although he had never been to the agricultural planet, he had seen people livestreaming farming on his personal computer, but the results were not very good.
Because interstellar plants are not as gentle as the plants of Ancient Earth in legends. On the contrary, they are very domineering and grow very tall. Without plant tamers, these crops will not grow in a conventional way.
Therefore, the people who can live on agricultural planets are all very powerful; they possess the skill to stabilize the plant's violent factors.
Luo Beishi had read many ancient books, and any one of them could fetch an astronomical price. However, Luo Beishi himself was unaware that the inheritance passed down by his family was a treasure.
It is precisely because the Emilia family is so adept at hiding their resources that they have come this far; otherwise, this weak family would be like a child carrying gold in the bustling city.
Ma Que led the way quietly the whole time.
When Feng Ming told him that the little hamster his boss brought back was quite temperamental, he almost burst out laughing. He thought to himself, what kind of temper could a little hamster have? But just as he was lost in thought...
Emilia said coldly, "Could you please help me gather information on the existing plants and seeds? Order some of everything for me; I want to test this land."
Ma Que was stunned for a moment, his face showing confusion and shock. What was Emilia trying to do?
"What? Is that not allowed?"
"Ah, that's possible, but nobody farms on the Central Star... Buying seeds can take a whole day even from the nearest agricultural star."
Luo Beishi nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, just order it for me, I'll transfer the money to you."
Ma Que was somewhat confused. "Why use yours when we can just get the bill reimbursed by the boss?"
To everyone's surprise, Luo Beishi told him very confidently, "No need, I have money, and besides, Quinn is very busy and has his own job."
Ma Que felt a pang of sadness; this seemingly weak hamster beastman was so well-behaved and sensible!
"Okay, I will do as you say. Is there anything else you need?"
Luo Beishi rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment, then a flash of inspiration struck him, "And kitchen utensils."
He didn't have the chance before, but now he has not only escaped that home, but also received Quinn's protection. He wants to try many of the things he once wanted to do.
So, in the Luo Beishi Room, they started taking out their notebooks and making plans.
