TL: Moonlit
When Lin Feng’s voice came out, it startled everyone.
He held a light green potion in his hand. Seeing this, Lin Su instantly understood why Lin Feng was so excited.
During these days, Lin Feng had been conducting experiments to purified fruits and vegetables, aiming to extract a soothing potion with over 80% natural elements.
However, the progress had not been smooth before, but unexpectedly, it succeeded today.
As soon as the soothing potion in Lin Feng’s hand appeared, one could faintly sense the abundant natural elements inside. This made Yan Lie, who was originally lying nearby, involuntarily sit up with a look of longing in his eyes.
He could clearly perceive the particularly pure natural elements contained within it, which could be said to be even more attractive than the fragrant meat roasted by Lin Su earlier.
Lin Su reached out and took the potion from Lin Feng’s hand, looking at the translucent and pure green color under the moonlight. “It really succeeded! That’s fantastic!”
“Lin Su, these experimental fruits, I used the newly grown ones today. I thought since they were produced after your ability was upgraded, they might have some special properties. The result turned out to be successful. I conducted a natural element analysis specifically on the fruits, and they reached 72%, which is 9 points higher than the previous 63%. So, can we assume that as your abilities continue to evolve, the natural elements contained in these purified fruits and vegetables will also increase?”
As Lin Feng said this, excitement brimmed in his eyes. He couldn’t calm himself down at all, on the verge of bursting with excitement.
How could one person bring him so many surprises?
Lin Feng’s speculation had already crossed Lin Su’s mind before, and he nodded, “It should be as you said. Let’s sit down and have something to eat to celebrate.”
Lin Feng shook his head, “I won’t eat. I don’t have an appetite now. I want to go back and write a report.”
He wanted to inform Qin Yi about this good news as soon as possible.
Without waiting for Lin Su to finish his words, he walked away, holding the new generation soothing potion in his hand.
Su Jin, who was walking towards them, looked at Lin Feng who had returned. “Why did you come back?”
“Uncle, Lin Su is really amazing. With his current abilities, the purified fruits and vegetables he produces are truly comparable to a soothing potion. I want to go back and write a report. I want to share this good news!”
Excitedly gesturing to Su Jin, he happily turned around and went back to the laboratory. Su Jin, who was left behind, wore an inexplicable expression on his face. He turned to face Lin Su’s smiling eyes. “Is Lin Feng acting a bit strange? Xiao Su, could you go and check on him? I feel a bit worried.”
Lin Su smiled and pulled Su Jin closer. “Don’t worry about him, scientists always have their quirks. It’s nothing serious.”
“Are you sure his eccentricity is harmless? I’m a little worried when I look at him.” Su Jin said, occasionally glancing back, clearly still concerned about Lin Feng’s condition. Lin Su smiled and sprinkled some salt on the well-cooked meat, wrapped it in lettuce leaves, and placed it on a plate in front of Su Jin. “Let’s finish eating, and then I’ll go check on him.”
“Please go and see him. It would be great if nothing happens to this child in our house.” Especially since Lin Feng’s background seems quite extraordinary. “Oh, by the way, your father sent a message asking about the situation at home. He said he will be back tomorrow. Fortunately, they bought the tickets early, otherwise, they might not have been able to come back. Do you know how expensive a flight ticket to the North Star is nowadays?”
“Aren’t flight tickets regulated by the Empire with a fixed price?”
“They are regulated, but now you can’t buy tickets through regular channels. Scalpers are asking for half a million in their hands. It’s become a market without supply.” Su Jin was startled, remembering when Kane told him about these things.
Who could have imagined that it was all because their little female was too outstanding?
Lin Su was also shocked by the price. “That’s really expensive.”
But he could understand why. “It should be temporary. The government will control it.”
They couldn’t let this abnormal marketing practice continue indefinitely.
Lin Su rolled up some meat and handed it to William.
After coming back, he took the well-cooked meat and gave it to the little panther cub eagerly waiting on the ground. He gently touched the cub’s head. “Take it slow!”
The little cub let out a whimper and bumped its head against Lin Su’s hand before eagerly devouring the meat.
Lin Su sat down and grilled some more meat, then picked up the plate. “I’ll go check on Lin Feng.”
“You go.” Su Jin nodded. “Tell him to calm down and take care of himself.”
“Okay.”
Lin Su carried the meat and went to the next room. Standing at the door, he watched Lin Feng focused on typing his report. He lightly knocked on the door. “Busy?”
Upon hearing the voice, Lin Feng quickly looked up and said, “Ah, Lin Su, perfect timing. I was just thinking…”
“Have something to eat first, take a break.” Lin Su placed the meat in front of him and didn’t leave, but sat directly on the chair opposite. “You can eat and talk.”
The aroma of the freshly grilled meat was enticing, and even Lin Feng, who wasn’t hungry just a moment ago, had his stomach growling.
He glanced at the meat on the plate and couldn’t resist the temptation. He took a bite and said, “Mmm, delicious. Lin Su, I was just thinking, the purified fruits and vegetables you produce now have the same effect as an old version of a soothing potion. Shouldn’t you consider raising the price?”
Lin Su hadn’t thought about this matter yet. However, the price of these fruits and vegetables was already high, and further increasing the price would make them unaffordable for ordinary people.
Focusing only on the upper-class customers was also unrealistic.
Especially now that there are many ways to make money, he really doesn’t need more.
“No price increase. We’ll continue selling at the current price. Even though these fruits and vegetables have the effects of a soothing potion, they are still insufficient to cure mental disorders. At most, they can bring some improvement to those who are ill. For me, it’s not considered a loss. Besides, as a member of the Empire, I should contribute something to the country.”
Having such abilities and a personality that seeks comfort in life, Lin Su didn’t want to strain their relationship with the Empire too much, especially considering that William was a prince of the Empire.
Lin Feng was touched. Even though Lin Su had done this kind of thing before, each time, Lin Feng felt deeply moved.
They say that having money and power can change a person.
But Lin Su had always maintained his original intention.
Having spent so much time with Lin Su, Lin Feng knew his character well and suppressed his emotions. “For the new upgraded soothing potion, I will prepare a report to secure profits for you.”
Lin Su raised an eyebrow, knowing that Lin Feng wasn’t willing to let him dedicate his efforts without getting something in return. Although Lin Su felt that he didn’t need the money at the moment, he wouldn’t reject the offer when it was given. “Thank you in advance.”
“We should be the ones thanking you,” Lin Feng finished the last bite of meat. “By the way, you mentioned before that you can treat S-level beast patterns. I’d like to make an appointment. Is that possible?”
He had been wanting to personally experience the restoration process for a long time. Now that Lin Su was capable of repairing S-level beast markings, he couldn’t afford to miss it.
“Of course, no problem,” Lin Su agreed and then remembered something. “Speaking of which, there’s something I need your help with. You should know that before I repair a beast marking, I need to use blood from a contract beast of the same level as a catalyst. I want to know if there’s any substitute for contract beast blood. After all, if the news about contract beast blood spreads, it might lead to unfavorable consequences.”
Before the information was made public, collecting a small amount of blood from a contract beast wouldn’t cause any harm, nor would it pose a threat to the contract beast.
But now that the news was out, it was inevitable that some people might have ill intentions.
Lin Feng understood what Lin Su meant. In the past, when they formed a contract with a contract beast, they used contract beast blood as the medium and never specifically researched substitutes. However, this was indeed a problem that needed consideration. “I will try to find a substitute for contract beast blood as soon as possible.”
“Thank you. Before that, I will prepare samples of contract beast blood for each level in advance.”
By doing so, it would be much safer than allowing others to collect the blood.
After discussing these matters with Lin Feng, Lin Su picked up the empty plate. “It’s getting late. You should rest early.”
“I’ll rest once I finish writing this report.” Lin Feng was too excited now. He felt like going out for a run; he couldn’t calm himself down enough to sleep.
There are actually many people who can’t sleep, just like him.
Qin Yi watched today’s live stream video over and over again, without even noticing when Lin En appeared.
Lin En walked over and spoke, startling him. Qin Yi turned to look at him. “When did you come? Why is your walking soundless?”
“It’s not that I’m walking soundlessly, it’s that you were too focused. Did you find anything?” Lin En sat down beside him and took out a strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement from a box nearby, handing it to him. “Have something to eat.”
Qin Yi took it from him. “This is the contract beast tide. If I remember correctly, the only one who can cause such a sensation is the legendary natural female.”
Uttering these four words, Qin Yi paused his actions and looked silently at Lin En. “So, is he a natural female?”
If Lin Su, this little female, is the legendary natural female, then all these miraculous events would have an explanation.
Lin En nodded. “He should be a natural female. There’s no mistake. It’s just that His Majesty doesn’t want this news to spread.”
Qin Yi drank the nutritional supplement and nodded. “I understand. But even if they intend to keep it hidden, the influential families will eventually find out.”
“You can hide it for a while, but considering Prince William’s status, it’s not easy to shake. Those ambitious families, even if they want to do something, have to consider whether they have the ability to do so.”
There aren’t many people who can provide such fair assessments as Lin En, and Prince William is one of them.
Qin Yi has always known that Lin En has a high opinion of Prince William, admiring his character and way of handling things. They had even privately discussed that if their youngest hadn’t gone missing, they would seek a marriage decree from His Majesty.
This shows Lin En’s admiration for Prince William.
“It’s getting late, and you shouldn’t stay up too late either.” Lin En knew that Qin Yi would lose track of time when he was working, and he worried about him damaging his health. However, everyone in their family was a workaholic, so it was hard to say who was better.
“I know. You should go to sleep first. Lin Feng just said he would send a report, and I’m waiting for it.”
“Then I’ll keep you company.”
He would rather stay here and keep Qin Yi company on the couch than let him sleep alone in the empty room.
But obviously, Lin Feng didn’t want him, the male father, to sleep on the couch. Shortly after saying that, Lin Feng sent the report.
Qin Yi calmly opened the document, and the first thing that caught his eye was an application form for the new generation soothing potion, followed by a report spanning over 20 pages detailing the new generation soothing potion.
Lin En leaned over, although he couldn’t understand the various symbols in the research report, he could still understand the conclusions.
Looking at the words “new generation” on the screen, his heart skipped a beat. “Have they developed a new product?”
“No, Lin Feng has successfully purified the soothing potion to 80%. This is the application form for the new generation soothing potion. Once it passes the review, it will replace the previous version for sale.” Qin Yi calmly explained to Lin En, “It also states here that after Lin Su’s promotion, the purified fruits and vegetables he produced contain a natural element content of up to 72%, which is truly comparable to the previous soothing potion. The reason he was able to successfully upgrade the natural element content of the soothing potion is also because he used the fruits generated by Lin Su after his promotion. Lin Feng hopes that after the new generation soothing potion is released, they can share the profits with Lin Su personally.”
“At the same time, it also explicitly states that the prices of all the fruits and vegetables generated by Lin Su after their promotion will not be increased and will be sold at the same price as the previous purified fruits and vegetables.”
After finishing the last sentence, Qin Yi finally showed an expression other than calm. “This little female is really different. He gives me a sense of affinity. Perhaps this is what sets the natural females apart.”
Lin En nodded. “You’re right. This little female is indeed exceptional.”
A single soothing potion, due to the difficulties in purification and the high cost, is priced at 5 million beast coins.
For ordinary people, it is an extremely expensive price.
But now that Lin Su has truly cultivated fruits and vegetables that are comparable to a soothing potion, they are sold for only a few thousand beast coins. For the general public, this is undoubtedly great news.
“Can the price of the new generation soothing potion also be lowered?”
Lin En understood that the price of 5 million beast coins was the minimum price based on the laboratory costs and the overall research difficulties.
If the price were very low, it would be technically unachievable.
Furthermore, the existence of the soothing potion itself has not reached the stage of universal availability.
But Lin Su’s purified fruits and vegetables have achieved that.
“We can purchase purified seeds from them and achieve large-scale cultivation. Then, mental disorders will become a controllable common illness.”
Rather than an incurable disease.
With the research supporting Lin Su’s restoration of beast patterns, it is not impossible to completely eliminate the problem of mental disorders.
With this line of thinking, Lin En appeared even more excited than Qin Yi.
“You can implement your idea, but don’t forget that the cultivation of purified seeds will be slow without the assistance of the purifying females. It’s not just about cultivating long-lived fruit trees; even the yield of ordinary vegetables will become a problem. To achieve the stage where everyone can consume purified fruits and vegetables, it won’t be achievable in a short time,” Qin Yi’s calm analysis helped calm down Lin En, who had a heated mind.
“You’re right. This is indeed not something that can be changed in a short time, but…”
“But it is a beautiful hope that can be achieved as long as we persist. There will come a day,” Qin Yi’s dark eyes suddenly lit up. “I’m getting more and more curious about this little female. I would like to see him with my own eyes.”
“There will be an opportunity. His Majesty has decided to contact Prince William and inquire about his return to Stardust City,” Lin En calmed down and looked at the application form for the new generation soothing potion on the screen. At this stage, he knew that such a soothing potion would still be life-saving in critical moments.
“I will discuss the issue of the soothing potion price in detail with Lin Feng. If the purification difficulty is not significant, the price can be adjusted.” However, to reach the level of universal availability, it would still require effort.
With Qin Yi’s words, Lin En felt more at ease. After all, it is difficult to achieve everything at once with their current capabilities.
Qin Yi replied to Lin Feng: Report reviewed. Let’s discuss it tomorrow.
Receiving the reply, Lin Feng knew that Qin Yi must have a lot to say to him, and these conversations were not appropriate to be expressed in written form.
He shut down the light brain and stood up to stretch. Although it was late at night, he wasn’t sleepy. He turned his head and looked outside the window, where the fruit tree grove appeared mysterious under the moonlight.
Having lived for so long, the best decision he made was coming to North Star.
—
Lin Su stood in the yard, watching the large construction robots swiftly remove the dilapidated buildings on the ground, creating a standard trapezoidal foundation in a few movements.
Unable to help but feel emotional, when technology advances to a certain extent, many things become relatively simple and easy.
As the Deputy Star Domain Chief, An Ye was responsible for the reconstruction of Farm No. 13.
Fortunately, he and Lin Su were also familiar acquaintances. Seeing Lin Su standing idly in the yard, he walked over with a smile. “Your Excellency Lin Su, why did you wake up so early today? Did the noise wake you up?”
Lin Su looked at An Ye as he approached. “Are you in charge, Your Excellency An Ye?”
“Yes, Lord Star Domain Chief specifically assigned me as the overseer.” An Ye leaned on the yard gate with his arm. “Lord Lin Su, regarding the restoration of the beast pattern, I wonder if I can make a reservation?”
“Naturally, Your Excellency An Ye. However, my price is not cheap.”
“That’s fine. I am an S-level contract beast person, and I can afford the treatment fee. I’m just not sure when it can be scheduled?”
Currently, Lin Su has a manageable number of patients. Among A-level contract beast people, there are Zhao An’s male father and Gen; there was one appointment made by a B-level contract beast person yesterday, and among S-level contract beast people, including An Ye, there are three individuals. Xie Bai, being a female, makes things easier.
“In three days.”
An Ye didn’t expect Lin Su to give him an exact time, and he couldn’t help but feel excited. “Okay, okay, I’ll be here on time in three days. Has my little brat caused you any trouble recently?”
“Xie Bai is behaving well now.”
“That’s good.”
Just as they were talking, Xie Bai and Su Ge got out of the car. Seeing An Ye and Lin Su talking, Xie Bai, who was about to run forward, stopped and obediently called out, “Male Father, why are you here?”
Seeing Xie Bai, An Ye waved at him, and Xie Bai walked over obediently, grinning at Lin Su.
“Do you know that you should listen to Lin Su’s orders when you’re with him?”
“I know. I’m behaving well now. Male Father, please don’t pat my head.”
An Ye laughed. Due to his busy work, he didn’t have much time to discipline Xie Bai. When they divorced, he directly gave custody rights to the other party. To be honest, he wasn’t satisfied with the way the Xie family educated Xie Bai before. In his understanding, females shouldn’t be overly weak.
Seeing Xie Bai now, he found him much more pleasing. He patted Xie Bai’s shoulder. “Alright, go.”
As soon as Xie Bai was released from An Ye’s embrace, he quickly ran into the yard and looked at Lin Su with admiration. “I saw everything that happened yesterday through the live stream. I rushed back specifically, but unfortunately, you were too tired and resting.”
Noticing Xie Bai’s mention of the live stream, Lin Su raised an eyebrow. “What live stream?”
Xie Bai immediately explained what a red-level alert meant.
As someone who didn’t understand much about imperial law, it was the first time Lin Su heard of such a thing.
So, does that mean the things he said in public yesterday became a particularly big advertisement?
And it was free!
“Oh my, really? You actually made it?” Su Ge’s voice came from next door, arousing Xie Bai’s curiosity. “What did Lin Feng do? Why is Su Ge so excited?”
Lin Su smiled and said, “Why don’t you go and see for yourself?”
It’s likely that Su Ge saw Lin Feng’s development of the 80% purified soothing potion.
Xie Bai ran over eagerly, and after a few silent moments, another exclamation was heard.
Su Jin, hearing the commotion, smiled and said, “These two are full of energy. It gets lively as soon as they’re together.”
“Yes,” Lin Su smiled and looked up at the blue sky. The weather was really nice today, a good day to make money. “William, would you like to come out and enjoy the sun?”
Lin Su walked to the window and lightly tapped on the glass.
The person inside approached and opened the locked window. Instantly, a gentle breeze carrying a faint fruit fragrance blew in, stirring William’s heart.
Lin Su slightly bent over, with his arm against the window sill, and playfully beckoned William with a curled finger.
The dog ears hidden in William’s white hair twitched, and his golden eyes filled with confusion. However, he obediently moved closer to Lin Su. The next moment, the delicate face of the little female enlarged before his eyes, and his neck was gently hooked as their lips met softly.
It was Lin Su kissing him.
The sound of their hearts beating could be heard, but it was unclear whose it was.
Accompanied by a cool breeze, in the bright moment of sunlight, they kissed the person they loved.
After the kiss ended, Lin Su lightly licked the corner of his lips, a hint of redness in the corner of his eyes. “The weather is nice. Do you want to come out and enjoy the sun?”
William reached out to wipe away the water stain on Lin Su’s lip, his expression gentle and affectionate. He nodded softly. “Okay.”
As his voice fell, he leaned in and left another kiss on the corner of Lin Su’s lips.
“Um, excuse me, is Lin Su at home?”
A probing voice came from outside the courtyard. Lin Su turned his head to look and saw the young man who had made the appointment for the restoration of his father’s beast pattern standing there hesitantly.
Lin Su turned to William. “Can you handle it yourself?”
“Go ahead, I’m fine.”
Lin Su nodded. “Lin Feng has developed a soothing potion with 80% natural elements. Will it have any effect on you?”
“No need, I’m fine as I am now.”
Lin Su understood that the soothing potion with 80% natural elements would have no effect on William’s mental disorder. He didn’t dwell on this matter since he knew he would eventually be able to cure his big fox.
“I’m here,” Lin Su smiled and responded, walking over to open the courtyard gate. “Please come in, Xiao Bai!”
Upon hearing Lin Su’s call, Xie Bai dashed out from next door and asked, “What’s the matter, Lin Su?”
“Please greet our guests for me,” Lin Su said.
“Oh, I see,” Xie Bai immediately understood and smiled as he went forward to welcome them. “Please come inside, both of you!”
