Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 412 The Little Rascal in the Interstellar Junkyard 13

During the voyage,

Xu Mu's starship is of medium size, but its hardware and software are top-notch, and it can be switched to combat mode at any time.

The rooms are so well-spaced and sealed that each individual space has its own independent flight system, which can detach from the entire starship in a concealed manner in case of an accident.

According to annual observations, there are six such independent sections on the starship. Each control panel is staffed, including a medical room, armory, command center, and a larger space for crew members to gather and escape.

Such a consumption of resources is not a small amount, enough to reveal Xu Mu's grand scale.

Xia Youmi's room does not have a control panel, but it is connected to Xu Mu's room. If Xu Mu controls the separation of the room and the starship, she can choose to take the part where Xia Youmi is, or disconnect it and leave her in space.

While Xia Youmi was recuperating and training, he never stopped working, simultaneously keeping track of the starship's structure and the inside stories of gossip kept behind closed doors.

but,

The StarNet portion remains inaccessible.

The network on the Xu Mu starship is merely a mechanical program; it works, its settings are well-developed with few problems, and it simply doesn't add any burden to flight. However, if it were to connect to a more intelligent network, it would provide an opportunity for intrusion.

When you need to travel to multiple places, simplicity is always the safest approach.

Xia Youmi wasn't in a hurry. She didn't expect to be able to connect to the internet before she set off. If it was too fast, she wouldn't have the power to control it yet, and she would easily be backfired.

And on this trip,

The amount of information they received was enough to fill their brains.

The nutritionist who helped her with rehabilitation was Xu Mu's good friend; the two seemed to have been very close since childhood. This trip was also intended to give her and Xu Mu some peace and quiet.

Because she would occasionally provide Xia Youmi with gossip, the topics of contention and word choice were always discussed behind closed doors between the two of them. Their conversations were quite frank, always tinged with reminiscence, and completely unreserved.

Out of a need for self-preservation, Xia Youmi and Niannian did not let go of this information.

Comparing it with the original text, a truly astonishing coincidence is pieced together.

The story originates from Xi Qingyan, or rather, her two daughters. In fact, the low-grade, third-class genetic species had not only been discovered, researched, and utilized by the S-star laboratory long ago, but were also quickly purchased by some impatient individuals.

However, due to its rarity and the imperfect technology, it was not publicized to the outside world.

Another one,

The real use of this thing is something that can't be discussed openly.

Even if the narrative is positive, it's said that higher-tier genes are beneficial for selecting elites and paving the way for the discovery of talent for the empire. Mid-tier and low-tier genes, however, are merely data points used for comparison.

It also cannot explain what innate advantages weak, lower-ranking individuals might have in establishing themselves within the empire.

Why are they being treated favorably?

Rather than attracting more wolves, it's better to guard the limited amount of meat and not let it slip away.

Therefore,

Six years ago, low-grade, third-class gene types were merely the weakest of the weak, and even if discovered, they would be treated as waste. If they gave birth to children of mid-grade or lower, it would be considered that the parents had poor genes.

It would be very embarrassing to say it out loud, especially to those in higher positions, as they would face pressure from all sides.

Xi Qingyan became pregnant with Yu Sui's child not only because he concealed his family's financial situation, but also because the child was found to be not particularly healthy. Furthermore, although abortion was not explicitly prohibited, the empire's abortion techniques had degenerated to the most primitive methods. No manufacturers produced the equipment, and no doctors would learn the technique.

Therefore, even if it were the eldest daughter of the Xi family, she would not be able to find a way to preserve her health without alerting outsiders.

Xi Qingyan was afraid of the pain, but she was also reluctant to give birth. She held the belief that the child could be cured after birth, and as long as she kept it a secret from outsiders, the rumors about the child's poor genes would not spread; people would only know that she could give birth to twins.

The glory brought by this rare event is enough to overshadow the struggles beneath.

At that time,

Xi Qingyan's career is developing steadily, and she is able to remotely control people to do things.

She didn't mistreat herself; she contacted a friend on Star S and checked into the Empire's best maternity hospital. The whole process was incredibly smooth, and she was kept away from outsiders, allowing her to forget about Yu Sui and enjoy a period of peace and comfort.

Unbeknownst to her, the entire obstetrics department on Planet S was being watched at that time.

The discerning elites, even if they desired a child with weak, low-grade genes, would disdain to capture one from a lower-ranking star. They firmly believed that the child was naturally of low quality, born from parents who were physically strong, lived comfortably, and had been properly cared for.

Only then can their excellent genes be matched.

Xi Qingyan not only fits the criteria, but she also has relatively few troubles, as her biological father is not watching her like a hawk.

Such families only need to hint at some future marriage value and apply a little pressure to take someone away directly.

really,

Xi Qingyan thought that her family owed her something, and that she had given away the two awkward children to please outsiders in order to please them.

In reality, she herself is the key.

As the saying goes, "hard work pays off," and among the children who were taken to the sophisticated laboratory for genetic testing, only one of Xi Qingyan's twins was found to belong to the lower third class.

The child was photographed by the Xu family and several other parties.

The agreement stipulates that if Old Master Xu does not use it, families other than those with the surname Xu will have priority in the auction.

Furthermore, the research findings on the children should be shared with these families.

The old man of the Xu family, who was the grandfather of Xu Mu and Xu Luo, had more than one son, not to mention his grandsons.

The internal struggle was fierce and intense, and at that time, Xu Mu knew nothing about it.

Old Master Xu was careful. Although Xi Qingyan's twins were the key, he still kept two sets of twins, one of which was a low-level second-grade twin and the other was a mid-level twin.

Those were left in the laboratory.

The real treasure is hidden from the public, making it impossible for outsiders to discern.

Several sons fought over the child, but in the end, it was the grandson Xu who was the one who didn't fight or grab, and he silently raised the child in his name.

At first, it was thought that the old man had sent a pair of girls to raise since he had no daughters, so that they could be used for future family marriage arrangements.

gradually,

I discovered that neither my father nor my grandfather really disciplined me.

Xu Luo devoted himself to raising the child, spending ten times more energy than he had with his son. The results were remarkable; the child was intelligent, kind, and adorable. He, his wife, and son all loved him dearly; they were the sweetest family of five.

occasionally,

Xu Mu, the aunt, would also come back to visit. She also liked her little niece and hoped to take good care of her health. In the future, she also wanted to provide her with security so that she could freely choose her own path in life.

At that time,

The nutritionist sent by Xu Mu is the one who is now treating Xia Youmi; her name is Ge Huazhi.

She and Xu Mu were close friends since childhood, though their family background led to an unhappy marriage. However, thanks to the man's infertility, their marriage was eventually in name only, and they lived a relatively carefree life.

She discovered something was wrong during the treatment process.

The twins were being pampered on one side, but the doctors and the Xu family were clearly conducting additional research.

Once she has found out the truth, she will tell Xu Mu, and then tell Xu Luo.

It was too late. The old man's health was deteriorating, and even though transplant technology was not yet mature, he didn't want to give the opportunity to another old man after he died.

Xu Luo only saved the younger sister of an ordinary person.

The special older sister is stationed at the operating table.

However, the old man's spirit lingered and fell with her.
