The headline at the top of the news was "Chili, a new life!"
Xie Sen thought of the reporter's question in the hospital parking lot and had a bad feeling. He clicked on it and quickly read the news. The general idea of the content was that chili could really increase the pregnancy rate. Don't believe it? Just look at Xie Sen and you'll know.
Xie Sen rolled his eyes. His pregnancy had nothing to do with chili, okay? As for the 100% success rate, it was probably just a coincidence.
He scrolled down the comments. Many people were crazy about chili and were even discussing where to buy it. Some people sighed that they couldn't get their hands on it, and some said that it was in high demand. Those people who got their hands on it and resold it, and the black market was selling it for more than 10,000 yuan per catty.
Xie Sen was shocked. Wasn't this too much? He went to the Fuji supermarket to take a look when it started selling chili. It was priced at 3,000 yuan per catty.
As he was reading the comments, his bracelet rang. It was Ma Qun's call. He picked it up and Ma Qun's voice came through. "A Sen, am I bothering you?"
"No, Director Ma, what's the matter?"
Ma Qun asked, "Did you eat chili before you were pregnant?"
Xie Sen understood what he meant and said affirmatively, "Chili is good for the body, but it has nothing to do with my pregnancy. The news on the Internet is too exaggerated."
Ma Qun sighed. "The fertility rate is gradually declining, and there is no way to improve it. Some anti-social people have proposed the theory of human extinction to cause panic. At the press conference, I deliberately mentioned that chili contains ingredients related to fertility to give the people confidence. I didn't expect them to be so crazy about chili."
Xie Sen looked at his stomach. The people's attitude was probably related to the news of his pregnancy.
He thought for a moment. "Director Ma, compared to the total population of Brent Star, the research institute has too few people and too little land. The amount of food produced by the research institute is too little. Why don't you let the people grow plants?"
Ma Qun said, "We tried it a few years ago. Brent Star's land is not suitable for growing plants. The research institute can grow successfully because of special fertilizers. The fertilizers are not fixed. The researchers observe the growth of the plants every day, and the fertilizers are mixed according to the changes in the growth of the plants. It can't be popularized."
Xie Sen smiled. "It's different now. Maybe the geology has changed? Didn't you say that chili peppers can change the quality of the soil and can be grown without nutrients? "
Ma Qun sighed. "We've tried using mature chilies as seeds. After growing them in the laboratory, we transplanted them to the soil outside the research institute. The planting failed. But it's good that they can grow in the chili fields now. "
Xie Sen was stunned for a moment before he understood. Only the plants redeemed by the system had strong vitality and could grow in the harsh soil of Brent Star. They couldn't grow unless they were planted in the soil that had been improved by the system's plants.
In that case, as long as a piece of land was planted with plants from the system, it would be equivalent to ordinary land and could be used continuously.
He opened the System Interface. There were more than 8,000 energy points. There were dozens of seeds in one pepper. If he exchanged for 100 peppers, he would have thousands of seeds. He could plant quite a lot of land.
While he was thinking, Ma Qun said hesitantly, "There's one more thing I want to talk to you about. I want to collaborate with you. Your chili pepper is very special. It has a strong vitality and can improve the quality of the soil. If the people want to plant it, they can only use your chili pepper seeds. "
He paused. "According to the results of our experiments, after planting your chili pepper, other plants can be planted in that piece of land and the nearby land. We plan to auction your chili pepper seeds and sell them to agricultural products companies. We will maintain a long-term cooperation with them. "
Xie Sen couldn't help but ask, "Are there agricultural products companies now?" If they didn't even have edible plants, even if there were, they should have closed down long ago.
Ma Qun smiled gently. "No, but there will be soon. After discussing with you, if you are willing to provide chili peppers, the government will release an announcement later to encourage the establishment of agricultural products companies so that the people can also produce plants. Businessmen with brains will realize that this is a huge business opportunity. There will definitely be a lot of people who will start companies. "
Xie Sen thought for a moment and asked, "I want to start one too. Can I?"
"Of course." Ma Qun smiled. "I was just about to give you a suggestion. You graduated this year and are still young. It's a good time to start a business. You also majored in botany. Opening an agricultural products company is very suitable."
Xie Sen smiled. "I promise. I will try my best to provide more chili peppers." He paused for a moment to avoid being surprised and said, "I have accumulated a lot of chili peppers recently. I haven't eaten much. It's just right."
Ma Qun: "Don't eat them. The research institute will send you five kilograms of chili peppers at the beginning of every month. It will definitely not be delayed."
Xie Sen smiled. "Don't worry. I will keep them."
Ma Qun asked, "How many do you have? The chili peppers you gave me before have more than 30 seeds. To ensure that the chili peppers can reach 150 kilograms, we need 500 seedlings. That means each family needs 17 chili peppers. "
Xie Sen calculated in his heart. If he took out too many chili peppers at once, it would be suspicious. "About 100 chili peppers. I think each family should provide at least 1,000 seedlings. This will be more attractive. I have 1,000 chili peppers per family. I can provide three families. "
Ma Qun thought for a moment. "Okay. I will release the official announcement now."
After hanging up the call, Xie Sen used his identity to register an agricultural product company. But after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of a good name for the company. Finally, he changed his mind and wrote Peony.
Plants came from the system. A Dan's original form was Peony. This name was the most suitable.
After the registration, he submitted the application for review.
Then, he checked online about the land near the apartment. The apartment was located in the suburbs. When he bought the land, there was a lot of empty land. But now, there was none.
There was a piece of land near the apartment. It was between the apartment and the border of the desolate forest. It was 30 kilometers away from each other.
He checked the price of the land. It was only 2,000 yuan per square meter. It was the cheapest piece of land in Star City. He checked the relevant information and found that the land had been on the market for almost three years. But because it was too close to the desolate forest, no one bought it.
Xie Sen smiled. He was not afraid of the forest. Not to mention, it was so far away from the forest. There were also military guards at the border. He was not worried.
He calculated the price. The land was 52 mu, about 35,000 square meters. The total cost was 70 million yuan.
He opened the account of the streamer. There was still more than 500 million yuan in the account balance. He had spent a lot on building the house and buying the equipment. He had been using it all the time, but the money was still steadily increasing.
He thought about when he had just arrived in this world. He could not even bear to take a car. He felt that it was so difficult to make money. But after a few months, he had become so rich. He still felt that making money was so easy.
He touched his right shoulder. It was all thanks to A Dan. If it were not for his affinity, he would not have been able to become friends with his contract beast. Without A Dan's power, his contract beast would not have been so smart and knew how to broadcast.
He did not hesitate. Unlike the last time, he only bought a part of the land. He directly contacted the land agent and bought the whole 52 mu.
The other party thought that he had misheard. He confirmed with him again and again. When he knew that he was serious, he was afraid that he would go back on his word. He quickly transferred the ownership of the land. All the relevant procedures were done. Xie Sen paid the money in one lump sum.
After Xie Sen bought the land, he asked the eagle to take him to the land. The soil was very hard. It did not look like it could be used to grow plants. He thought about it and contacted the construction company. He asked them to build a wall for the land. At the same time, he also asked them to dig up the entire land.
After the arrangements were made, he sat on the eagle and went home.
The eagle landed in front of the apartment. It opened its wings and touched the ground. "A Sen, don't jump. Walk on my wings."
Xie Sen rubbed the feathers on its back. "Thank you." He supported himself with his hand and stood up on the eagle's back.
The eagle was huge. It was more than three meters tall. When Xie Sen stood on its back, he was even higher off the ground. At first glance, it looked very dangerous.
"A Sen!" MeiIn came out of the apartment. Seeing this, he shouted nervously. "Don't move!"
He did not see Xie Sen in the apartment. He was looking at the location while walking out. He did not expect to see such a scene as soon as he came out. He strode to the eagle's wings and reached out to Xie Sen. "Walk slowly."
Xie Sen smiled and said, "It's okay." He walked down the eagle's wings. MeiIn moved with him to prevent him from falling down.
When he could touch Xie Sen, MeiIn directly carried Xie Sen down vertically. Then he slid his hands down to lift Xie Sen's knees and carried him horizontally.
"Where did you go?" MeiIn carried Xie Sen to the living room and asked at the same time.
Xie Sen kicked his feet. "Put me down. Don't carry me around."
MeiIn walked to the sofa and put him down. He poured a glass of water for him. Xie Sen drank the water and told him about the company and the land.
MeiIn looked at the photos of the land. After a moment of silence, he said, "The land is too big. It will be too slow and tiring to grow it manually. There are almost no farm tools on the market. Huo Feng should have the design drawings of the old farm tools. I will improve it and try to make it mechanized."
Xie Sen smiled and held his arm. "You and I have the same idea."
If they relied on people to grow it, it would be too tiring and inefficient.
MeiIn held his hand and gently pinched his fingertips. "I will follow up on the land situation. You can make the specific plans. Remember to tell me when you go out in the future."
Xie Sen rested his chin on his shoulder. "Okay."
The next day at 10 am, Mu Lin and Gu Luo arrived at Xie Sen's apartment. Xie Sen personally welcomed them to the living room.
Mu Lin casually sat down on the sofa. Gu Luo took out a series of instruments. Xie Sen looked at them curiously but didn't see any functions.
Gu Luo smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We will finish measuring your various values soon. Um … we just need to draw a little blood at the end."
MeiIn frowned. "No."
Gu Luo smiled helplessly. He had expected this result. He advised, "One drop is enough. It definitely won't affect your body."
MeiIn was about to say something, but Xie Sen pulled his hand and stretched out his hand to Gu Luo. "Do you have a clean syringe?"
Mu Lin and Gu Luo had helped him a lot. Moreover, they were the representatives of contract beasts. They had always advocated the protection of contract beasts. Their research was also for contract beasts and their Beast Masters. He didn't care about this little help.
Gu Luo took out a new syringe. After disinfecting it, he handed it to Xie Sen. Xie Sen took it in his hand and pinched the tip of the needle. He carefully poked the tip of his index finger. Then he pinched his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood. "Here. How do I collect it?"
Gu Luo took out a small box and put the blood beads into the box with the skin of his finger. "Thank you."
Xie Sen smiled. "You're welcome." He returned the syringe to him and took a piece of tissue from the coffee table. Just as he was about to wipe his hand, MeiIn pulled his hand and sucked it into his mouth.
He felt a warm touch. It was MeiIn licking him.
Xie Sen's body trembled slightly. His heart was beating wildly and his face quickly turned red. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but MeiIn grabbed his wrist. MeiIn looked at him. His eyes were deep and serene. Only when there was no smell of blood did MeiIn let go of his hand.
Xie Sen quickly withdrew his hand. He felt very embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Mu Lin and Gu Luo. The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He kicked MeiIn's calf and moved to the side to increase the distance between them.
When there was no one else around, he must remind MeiIn not to flirt with him when there was someone around!
Mu Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Luo. Gu Luo glared at him and smiled at Xie Sen. "I'll measure you now. You don't have to be nervous. It'll be done soon."
Xie Sen coughed dryly. "Okay."
Because there was no examination cabin, the examination this time was slower than the one at the Research Institute. They used three different instruments to complete the examination.
Gu Luo carefully recorded each value. After recording it, he looked at it again and said with a smile, "Your physical condition is very good."
Xie Sen nodded. He felt it himself. Except for the slight discomfort caused by the aura of the contract that day, he felt very comfortable and energetic. His physical condition was much better than when he first arrived.
Gu Luo put away the instruments and sat beside Mu Lin. Mu Lin casually put his hand on his shoulder. Gu Luo tilted his head and looked at Mu Lin without saying anything.
Xie Sen thought to himself, these two are really a couple.
Mu Lin said, "There's one more thing I want to remind you this time. The Contract Beast Research Institute and the Plant Research Institute of Sun City and Moon City have both applied to come to Star City for an academic exchange. The application has been approved. The exchange will be held on the 15th and will last for five days. "
Xie Sen immediately understood. "Is it for the contract beasts and chili?"
Mu Lin nodded. "The Contract Beast Research Institute of the two cities applied not long after your live broadcast room opened, but I rejected it. After the chili was released, the Plant Research Institute of the two cities also applied, and it was the highest standard application issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I couldn't reject it."
Xie Sen nodded. "You specifically reminded me because you think they will look for me?"
"They will definitely look for you," Mu Lin said seriously. "Your affinity with contract beasts is too high. Moreover, you can bring back contract beasts every time you go out. Moreover, they are healthy and defenseless contract beasts. They have been curious for a long time."
He paused. "The three cities have existed side by side for many years and have always maintained a friendly relationship. However, each city has its own government and doesn't share resources. They may have their eyes on you."
Xie Sen understood. The three cities that were inherited from the tribes were actually equivalent to three countries.
He nodded. "Thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention."
Mu Lin and Gu Luo didn't stay. They left after finishing their business.
Xie Sen accompanied MeiIn to the second floor. MeiIn improved the agricultural tool program, he sat on a stool next to her and watched the live broadcast room. At the same time, he also browsed through the news.
As he was watching, A Dan's hesitant voice sounded in his mind. "A, A Sen …"
Xie Sen was stunned. Then he quickly asked, "Are you okay? Didn't you say that the self-examination would be completed in 50 hours? It's already over the time limit. "
A Dan whispered, "I'm fine. I finished the self-examination a long time ago. I just didn't contact you."
Xie Sen was puzzled. "Why?"
A Dan hesitated. "I don't know how to tell you." He paused and suddenly raised his voice. "A Sen, no matter what happens, you have to stay calm. Don't panic!"
Xie Sen became nervous. "Is there something wrong with my body? The safety time has been shortened? "
"No … but it will still affect you." A Dan spoke intermittently. Finally, he couldn't help but say in one breath, "I found that there was another human energy body in your body. I thought there was something wrong with me, but the self-examination results showed that everything was normal."
"After the self-examination, I checked again and confirmed that there was indeed another human energy body in your body. I thought about it and there was only one possibility … you are pregnant."
At this point, he quickly said, "A Sen, don't be afraid. I know that as a boy, you can't accept being pregnant. However, your body is now that of a female. It's actually normal for you to be pregnant. Besides, having a baby is something to be happy about!"
Xie Sen was very touched. A Dan had always been very straightforward. Seeing how conflicted he was, it was obvious that he was really worried about him. "I found out the day before yesterday. I'm not afraid."
"What?" A Dan shouted. "You found out the day before yesterday?"
"Yes, after your self-examination."
A Dan shouted gloomily, "Ahhh, then I've been conflicted since yesterday for nothing? I'm so stupid, really! "
Xie Sen laughed. "You're just too concerned about me. Thank you. A Dan is very smart. He's not stupid at all!"
A Dan was very touched. "A Sen, you're the best master in the world. You're so beautiful, kind, and smart!"
Xie Sen: "… Stop praising me. I'm embarrassed. As long as you're okay."
A Dan chuckled. "Right, I have good news. I can sense the remaining water energy."
Xie Sen's eyes lit up as he switched to the interstellar map. "Where is it?"
According to the location described by A Dan, Xie Sen gestured with his finger on the virtual screen. Finally, he stopped at a planet slightly closer to Bibulu Planet, opposite the planet where the Yamu Continent was located. There was a planet marked as a resource planet — Fog Planet.
MeiIn's voice sounded in his ear. "That's the resource planet that Moon City belongs to. There's energy there?"
Xie Sen nodded. MeiIn placed her hand on his right shoulder and asked in confusion, "Five petals have lit up. Is there still a lack of energy?"
Xie Sen shrugged. "The water energy has been scattered. The remaining one-fifth is on Fog Planet. If it belongs to Moon City, I wonder if there's a way to go there."
MeiIn: "You can't go."
Xie Sen turned his head. "Why?"
MeiIn's gaze landed on his abdomen. "A pregnant man is not suitable for interstellar travel. The huge tremors during a hyperdrive will bring danger to the pregnant man."
Xie Sen patted his stomach. "It will take about a year from pregnancy to birth. That's too long. I'm in good health now. It's good to go now."
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. If his stomach was big, it would be inconvenient for him to go out again.
MeiIn grabbed his hand and said in a low voice, "No, the child is very weak before three months. If it's hit, it will easily miscarry. It will also affect the pregnant man's health."
Xie Sen looked at him suspiciously. "Are you spouting nonsense? How do you know? I think I'm in great shape now. I feel even better than the last time I left Brent Planet. "
He had retracted the wood energy and most of the water energy, and his physique had improved significantly.
MeiIn said seriously, "I'm not spouting nonsense." He lowered his head and kissed Xie Sen on the lips. "I can't let you take the risk."
He opened his wristband and opened a folder. Xie Sen took a look. The folder was called "Precautions During Pregnancy." When MeiIn clicked on it, he was stunned. It was full of pregnancy-related information.
MeiIn skillfully clicked on the third video. After watching it for two seconds, he scrolled back and stopped at one-third of the way through.
The gentle female in the video said, "The pregnant man must be very careful in the first three months. The baby will be very small at that time, and there won't be any changes in the stomach. It's as if you're not pregnant. However, the baby is very weak at this time, and it's the most likely stage for miscarriage. You must take care of it carefully."
MeiIn paused the video and clicked on another document. There was a hospital logo at the top left. MeiIn clicked on one of the marked words. Xie Sen looked at it. It was similar to the video.
Xie Sen looked at MeiIn's serious face. He wanted to laugh and was touched. He leaned over and kissed MeiIn on the cheek. He turned his head and closed the interface. "So much information. You didn't read it all, did you? You …"
When he returned to the previous page, he saw the baby nurturing tutorial next to the folder. He paused and looked at MeiIn in surprise.
MeiIn coughed softly and turned off the wristband. "I've read it all. You're not suitable for interstellar travel now."
Xie Sen thought about it. There were still three years of safety. After one year, there were still two years left. As long as he knew the specific location, it wouldn't be difficult to retract the energy. Moreover, he could accumulate more energy to activate the plant within a year. He didn't have to worry about A Dan not being able to sense the energy due to insufficient energy.
Xie Sen said, "Okay, I won't go now. I'll go after I give birth. In the meantime, I'll get a pass to Fog."
MeiIn hugged him gently. "I'll think of a way."
Xie Sen reached out and pinched his chin. They looked at each other face to face. "What's with the baby nurturing course? Do you want to sign up for the course to learn how to take care of a child? "
MeiIn grabbed his hand and nibbled on it. "When I was looking for information, I saw someone saying that taking care of a child is very tiring. I want to learn first." His eyes were focused. "I'm too young and inexperienced. But I'll take good care of you and the child."
Xie Sen couldn't stand it. He thought, how could there be such a good man! He leaned over and kissed MeiIn. He kissed so hard that MeiIn hugged the back of his neck and kissed him back. They didn't let go of each other until a while later.
Xie Sen was panting. MeiIn's finger brushed across his lips. His voice was slightly hoarse. "You seem to be more sensitive."
Xie Sen's face was slightly red. He also felt it. It was just a kiss, but his body was soft and hot. He couldn't help but complain. This female's body was too hard to bear!
He turned his head and leaned on MeiIn's shoulder. He grabbed his left hand and avoided eye contact. "MeiIn, I'm really lucky to have met you."
MeiIn's right hand wrapped around his waist. He lowered his head and kissed the side of his face from his forehead to his chin. "I'm too lucky."
The light from the window spilled into the room. It was clean and bright. The child curled up in the dark corner gradually disappeared in the light.
MeiIn thought that if it wasn't for Xie Sen, he wouldn't have dared to dream that one day, he would hug his lover who was pregnant with his child. This was a beautiful thing that he couldn't even imagine.
Xie Sen calmed his heartbeat. After a while, he sat up and patted MeiIn's face with a smile. "You don't have to read so much information. We'll read and learn together in the future."
At night, the two sat side by side to learn how to be a parent. As they were reading, A Dan's voice suddenly sounded. "A Sen, the location of the water energy has changed."
Xie Sen was stunned. He opened the map. "Where is it now?"
A Dan mentioned a place. Xie Sen looked over. "It's closer to Brent Star."
A Dan: "En, it's easier to sense it too."
Xie Sen laughed. "That's good. I can't leave Brent Star for the time being. The carrier that can be moved is definitely not too big. I'll sense the location every day. I'll pay attention to the news of the nearby planets to see if there are any special events."
A Dan: "En, I'll sense it again tomorrow morning."
