"First, the data on the tomato plants I recorded at my home the day before yesterday will be used to test the frequency of gene activity."

Second, select twenty pigs, sterilize them, and slaughter them when they reach maturity, then transport them to the Central Star. Feng Ming will arrange the manpower for this.

After the meeting

Everyone else came out completely bewildered. The things discussed in the meeting weren't the main point; the main point was that the boss seemed to have acquired Spiritual Mark from someone! Spiritual Mark mark would appear on his neck...

A maple leaf appeared on the leader's neck!

As expected of her sister-in-law, generally speaking, if there is a significant difference in Spiritual Power, it is impossible to complete the Spiritual Mark. However, their eldest son not only had a beaming smile today, but also spoke a little more gently. Spiritual Power can indeed influence each other.

After arranging for the men to leave, Feng Ming followed behind Quinn and asked, "Boss, did you sleep well last night?" He just had to do something like that.

Quinn recalled yesterday's kiss, sweet and delicious, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. "It was alright, you single beasts would never understand."

"Boss, you're right, I am a single beast, sigh..."

Quinn: "I heard Bai Ze is pursuing you?"

Feng Ming's feet seemed to be nailed to the spot. Looking at his boss with a knowing gaze, his face flushed red. "Um, boss, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Bai Ze is pursuing me? How could that be? We're just good brothers."

"Good bro? Do you think Bai Ze is lacking in brothers?"

Quinn's words immediately brought Feng Ming back to reality.

Feng Ming has long, fiery hair, which she likes to style with her Spiritual Power and dye black before going out, otherwise it would be too noticeable.

He gripped his fiery red hair tightly with his fingers, trying to escape Quinn's meaningful gaze.

"Haha, boss, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

Quinn watched Feng Ming's figure disappear in an instant and couldn't help but chuckle. His Lia was really good at chatting; no matter what they talked about, it seemed like there was nothing Lia didn't understand!

Oh right, for problems he can't solve, he can also ask his precious daughter, Lia, which adds up to a lot of common topics.

-

Lia, who started practicing holding his breath this morning, practiced in the shallow end of the bathtub, trying again and again, and now he has mastered the knack.

He slowly climbed out of the bathtub. Sure enough, soaking in the water was very tiring, and he immediately felt hungry.

What should we cook today?

Lia discovered that she could indeed enjoy the delicious food she cooked at home, while her husband Quinn was still at the Academy of Sciences eating unpalatable nutrient solutions. Oh well, she'd just make an extra batch and send it over by express delivery.

-

So when lunch break came, a fragrance wafted from Quinn's office—a fragrance that would excite even the DNA of an orc!

Quinn smugly opened the bento box that Lia had made for him in front of Bai Ze, his expression practically smug.

In the past, Bai Ze would have obediently gone out during lunch break, but today, he stared at his boss's several boxes of food with red eyes.

Quinn: "... Never mind, let's eat together. Let's call Feng Ming over too."

If Lia hadn't thanked Bai Ze for delivering the equipment late last night, he wouldn't have cared whether this guy was drooling or not; he wanted to take it all!

Bai Ze's lips curled up. Hmph, he knew he would get a share too, otherwise his sister-in-law wouldn't have cooked seven or eight dishes for the eldest brother to enjoy all by himself!

Feng Ming rushed over in a panic, but the moment he saw Bai Ze, he became serious.

"Alright, stop pretending, come and eat. If Lia hadn't prepared portions for you, I could have finished it all by myself."

Bai Ze: "... Boss, your sister-in-law is doing this for your own good. I heard that people from Ancient Blue Star like to eat with family or friends, and she's worried you'll be bored eating alone."

Quinn rolled his eyes at them. "Hmph, Bai Ze, do you think I'm Feng Ming, someone you can believe just by hearing a few words? I prefer to eat alone rather than share food with you guys."

Feng Ming couldn't resist any longer; it smelled so good.

"Instruction manual? Here are a few more instruction manuals, about how to cook these dishes... My sister-in-law is so thoughtful! Waaah, boss, you've really hit the jackpot! Not only did you snag a beautiful wife, but you're also living off her!"

Bai Ze covered his mouth. "Pfft."

Quinn: "... Get out if you're not going to eat."

The two fell silent, then began to eat with blissful abandon. During this time, Feng Ming's gentlemanly demeanor completely vanished, and he kept muttering, "Ah, this braised fish is so delicious! I'm really going to eat the whole plate!"

Bai Ze also gave a thumbs-up while eating. The reason he remained silent was that his boss ate like a whirlwind!

-

While cooking, Lia discovered a very useful method: she could use her Spiritual Power to control chopping and stir-frying vegetables, and even operate three stoves simultaneously. Afterward, she could use her Spiritual Power to instantly clean the kitchen!

Therefore, cooking only took half an hour. Not only that, he could also use his Spiritual Power to deliver the food remotely to the one-on-one delivery robot at the door.

He used to be a complete noob, but now he finally understands how easy life can be for the strong, unlike his previous weak physique, where he would be out of breath and need a robot to carry him up just two flights of stairs.

After mastering the Breath-Holding Technique, Lia counted her slender white fingers. Breathing Technique, Great Strength Technique, and the Rippling Waves, Subtle Steps ) were all for training agility. She could even hold her breath. What was she missing?

Ah, if only he could materialize weapons with his Spiritual Power like Quinn!

But the ancient people in the ancient books don't have Spiritual Power yet, it seems we can only wait for Quinn to come back and teach him.

So he went to the backyard again, extending his Spiritual Power to the sky above the entire area. Anyone with Spiritual Power of 2S or higher could see a faint green hue covering the Quinn house, a vibrant color that formed a huge defensive shield.

The defensive shield is a fundamental part of interstellar defense, something Lia had already learned long ago, but she was still surprised to see it deployed on such a large scale for the first time.

Once the defensive shield is activated, it can make him invisible and also block light cannon attacks. As for how many it can block now, he doesn't know.

-

Since being unable to enter the airspace above the Quinn family's residence, the men sent by Duke Thor could only observe from the corner of the wall. Who knew that today, they couldn't even fly up to the trees next to the wall, let alone get close to the base of the wall.

"Damn, that's a huge amount of brute force... Could it be that a defensive shield has been activated inside? Impossible, right?" The orc, who had transformed into a cicada, tried with all his might but couldn't get even a millimeter closer.

The backyard of the Academy of Sciences's house is still visible, but it's become so blurry... I can't see it no matter how hard I rub my eyes with my insect claws.

Oh no, I'm going to have to work on this again today.

In the past few days, we encountered many unexpected situations, such as encountering barriers, drones spraying pesticides to kill pests in the surrounding area, or being hit by a huge rock falling from the sky.

To a cicada, a small pebble is like a boulder.
