Chapter 062

Looking at Tiandan's appearance, Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but stare at the bright top of his shell—it was quite bald.

Under the enthusiastic invitation of the metal egg, Bai Xiaoyu and the others eventually entered the spacecraft.

The interior of the spacecraft resembled a luxurious small villa, with all kinds of furniture available at a glance.

As soon as they came in with the eggs, a male and female attendant, both extremely good-looking, respectfully welcomed them and served tea and water with utmost courtesy.

After sitting down, Bai Xiaoyu placed Xiao Dian on one side of the sofa. The big black egg automatically hopped to the other side, snuggling close to him on the sofa.

The metal egg, a step behind, paused before hopping onto the seat opposite Bai Xiaoyu. Between them was a coffee table laden with various rare fruits and desserts from the stars.

Robots continued to bring more fruits and desserts, almost filling the entire coffee table.

The female robot smiled and asked which type he preferred. Seeing that she seemed ready to feed him, the big black egg appeared eager to push her away. Bai Xiaoyu waved his hand and casually picked up a pinkish-white fruit, taking a bite. The juice filled his mouth—this was a fruit the original owner loved, sweet and delicious with just the right texture, never cloying even if eaten in large quantities.

The girl then introduced some desserts to him. Looking at her, Bai Xiaoyu found her behavior and demeanor indistinguishable from a human; if not for his inability to sense any life force from her, he might have thought she was a real person.

At this moment, his brain-computer received a message from Bai Kan: "Custom-made super-intelligent robots that can serve as bodyguards, do housework, and pilot spacecraft. They're much better than your basic models. If you like them, I can replace your current ones."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Thanks, but they're still quite useful. No need to replace them. If necessary, I'll have Xiao Meng modify them."

Bai Kan did not insist, understanding his reluctance. After all, people in the star system were very cautious about choosing their robots, as they involved every aspect of their owners' lives. Robots given by others could potentially become ticking time bombs if they had ill intentions.

Thinking about the mechanical limbs and materials Bai Kan had sent, Bai Xiaoyu took out two boxes of potions from the system space compartment.

Bai Kan: "What are these?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "They're all potions, mainly for cleansing marrow and cultivating essence."

The big tiger inside the metal egg perked its ears: "Are these for me?"

Bai Xiaoyu: "You gave me gifts, so I'm returning the favor with potions. These can enhance the potential and strengthen the bodies of those around you. You can use them on them."

Bai Kan: "Can't I use them?"

He wanted to use them himself since they were gifts from Xiao Bai.

Bai Xiaoyu: "You have specialized potions here that I've prepared for you, which are no worse than these."

The big tiger inside the metal egg was satisfied. He instructed the robots to open the boxes, revealing a treasure trove of high-quality potions.

Is this what he calls 'nothing'? Potions that enhance physical constitution and mental strength, along with potential, were among the most expensive in the star system. Even mid-to-low-grade BC-level potions cost millions of credit points each.

This box of potions that enhanced physical constitution and mental strength would be hard to come by even on Imperial Star, and it contained several layers with at least two or three hundred bottles!

He felt humbled, thinking that Xiao Bai was even more impressive. Suddenly, the tiger's eyes darkened. Hadn't these potions not been announced yet?

He had already experienced their effects, which surpassed those provided by the Royal Pharmacy. This was truly unique in the entire star system.

Now that he was given these, was it because of trust?

Thus, the big tiger inside the metal egg alternated between a sullen face and twitching ears, wanting to roll around.

In the end, he decided to give these potions to his mother and his trusted confidants, leaving the rest of the Lu family for later. After all, he had not fully taken over the family, and it was best not to let too many people know about this.

Bai Xiaoyu was unaware of Bai Kan's thoughts, but after these days of interaction, he had grown to trust Bai Kan, believing he could handle the aftermath of receiving the potions. This was similar to Xiao Xi and Su Ran, who had not revealed the effects of the cleansing potions so far.

Time passed as Bai Xiaoyu enjoyed fruits and desserts while soothing the competing eggs.

They arrived at the Herb Base, where guards had been notified beforehand. Most of the guards now used bio-mechanical limbs, allowing them to cover larger areas and reduce the number of personnel needed for shifts.

With two hundred guards using bio-mechanical limbs, even in their beast forms, the weakest could perform at seventy percent of their pre-disability strength, while the strongest could reach eighty to ninety percent!

Their beast forms were S-class, combined with past combat experience, making each guard capable of covering several times the area they previously could.

This reduced the number of guards needed, freeing up more warriors for training and other tasks.

Over the past few days, many warriors had watched the recovered guards show off, only to find themselves overwhelmed when fighting them. The recovered guards' restored strength and intact bodies made them formidable opponents, especially in beast form, where their dominance was even greater.

After these battles, the warriors eagerly awaited their turn for bio-mechanical limbs, hoping for Bai Xiaoyu's arrival.

However, they also knew that the materials for bio-mechanical limbs were limited. Their boss had already done well to provide the first batch. While grateful, they still harbored faint hopes.

They expected the second batch to take a long time, recalling how the empire's bio-mechanical limbs required months of waiting, often resulting in subpar products.

Now, Team Leader Cui informed them that the second batch was on its way. After envying the first batch for just three days, they too would receive theirs! They looked forward to showing off to those who hadn't received the news and challenging the first batch again.

Upon exiting, they noticed an increasing crowd.

Almost everyone had gathered, except for those on patrol.

Soon, a silver and light blue spacecraft landed in front of the military base.

Who was this new rich person? They remembered their boss's spacecraft wasn't like this. Only one person had the authority to pass through all defenses and land directly at the base.

Though the spacecraft was unfamiliar, its occupants were clear.

Everyone was excited and eager, their eyes fixed on the spacecraft.

The door opened, and a strikingly handsome man and woman emerged, standing aside to make way.

The crowd was stunned. Their boss had never put on such a grand entrance even with his multimillion-credit spacecraft.

Bai Xiaoyu, still inside, looked at the metal egg and said helplessly, "Tie Dan, don't be like this, it's too much."

He was too embarrassed to go out.

Inside the metal egg, the big tiger moved its whiskers and opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth. "Get used to it."

How else could they create a sense of distance?

Those men and women kept transforming into their beast forms to seduce Xiaoyu into touching them, with thick skin.

Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh and cry as he was pushed by the metal egg from behind, urging him to go out. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and walk forward.

Everyone had been eagerly waiting, and finally saw Bai Xiaoyu slowly emerge, carrying an incubation box with a small, delicate egg inside. Behind him appeared two eggs as tall as a person, with the black one being taller and larger.

The two eggs tried to squeeze through the spacecraft's hatch together, but got stuck, unable to come out.

Neither egg was willing to let the other go first, and everyone thought there would be a standoff. But unexpectedly, the large black egg performed a spinning kick, sending the metal egg back. It then followed Bai Xiaoyu, sticking close to him.

No wonder it fought them for eight hundred rounds before.

The metal egg quickly recovered and rolled out as well.

This time, about ten individuals who had installed mechanical limbs last time saw Bai Xiaoyu and their eyes lit up. They transformed into their beast forms and surrounded him. They wondered if their boss had practiced, as petting him felt incredibly comfortable, making them want to purr uncontrollably.

But before they could get close, the large black egg that had been beside Bai Xiaoyu suddenly blocked their path.

All the beasts immediately raised their guard, forming an offensive formation to surround the black egg that had previously fought a thousand soldiers alone.

Last time, they were handicapped; now, they were ready for another battle.

They knew that unless they defeated this egg, they wouldn't get anywhere near their boss today.

They wanted their boss to pet them again.

Without hesitation, the large black egg charged at one of the beasts, identifying the weakest point in their formation right away.

This egg was indeed formidable!

As the battle raged on, two other beasts returned and tried to sneak up on Bai Xiaoyu while their comrades distracted the large black egg. Suddenly, the metal egg popped out.

The metal egg faced off against two leopards, who, seeing the large black egg fighting ten opponents, became wary.

However, once the fight began, the experienced leopards easily pinned the metal egg to the ground with a single claw.

Within a minute, the metal egg was being slapped around by the leopards' claws and tails.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh, "Tie Dan, you're just a half-baked egg, and even injured. What are you doing getting involved? These warriors have been through life and death battles; you're just a toy to them. Luckily, they know their limits, so you'll only be knocked out for a bit."

He held the little egg that was desperately trying to join the fight, waving its tiny psychic tentacles as if cheering. He tapped its shell, "And you, still eager to join in. If they touch you, your little egg body won't be able to handle it."

Watching the commotion, Bai Xiaoyu realized the battle wouldn't end soon and turned to the gathered warriors. "Sorry for the wait. I'll distribute the bio-mechanical limbs now."

Cui Zhanpeng came over to help, bringing several others. They placed four large boxes on the ground.

Bai Xiaoyu walked over and filled each box with a pile of bio-mechanical limbs, saying, "Done. Distribute them according to the numbers."

Everyone stared in amazement at the piles of limbs.

There were so many! It looked like a wholesale market.

Bai Xiaoyu added, "Everyone gets one this time. If anyone is missed, report it immediately."

Everyone gets one!

After the initial shock, the base erupted in excited cheers.

The distribution of the bio-mechanical limbs was lively. The warriors quickly put them on and switched between human and beast forms.

The field suddenly filled with six or seven hundred animals of various kinds. Several birds flew up hundreds of meters, soaring and calling excitedly.

Just as the warriors started to gather around Bai Xiaoyu, the large black egg broke free from the other beasts and stood protectively in front of him, bouncing and clearly ready to attack anyone who approached.

Everyone narrowed their eyes; this black egg always wanted all the attention, and another battle seemed inevitable.

So Bai Xiaoyu watched helplessly as the warriors fought fiercely. This time, the recovered warriors didn't just get beaten down by the large black egg; instead, several attacked together, resulting in a balanced fight.

Seeing their combat skills, Bai Xiaoyu thought that low-level mechs might not be suitable, but combat aircraft could be provided.

He had researched this before. Small combat aircraft were designed for individual combat.

Two-person, three-person, and six-person aircraft were for group control. He had seen the warriors' records; they were proficient in operating combat aircraft and skilled in various weapons.

He would discuss this with Tao Limeng when he returned. With a team now, proposing these medium-sized combat aircraft wouldn't be too difficult.

Everyone fought to their heart's content, except for the dazed metal egg.

Seeing the metal egg take a while to recover after getting on the aircraft, Bai Xiaoyu found it amusing.

Inside the metal egg, the big tiger covered its face with its paw.

In front of Xiaoyu, he had lost all face as an older brother.

They returned to the Pharmacy Building, greeted a group of children, and watched the people buying medicine, falling into deep thought.

Bai Xiaoyu recalled that since the Huang family's troubles with the regional cultivation centers, forcing areas to stop supplying him with herbs, nothing had happened since.

Based on his understanding, the Huang family has Bai Qi backing them, and they are not people who give up easily. It's best to be more vigilant.

On the other side, Bai Qi was browsing through information on the star network, with an assistant standing beside him and a man in front of him. This man was the head of the Huang's Pharmacy on D36 planet.

He was frantically explaining how Bai Xiaoyu had taken control of 70% of the herb acquisition chain on D36 planet, and with the support of local authorities, they had no way to counter it.

The head was quickly shifting all the blame onto Bai Xiaoyu. With poor performance and repeated failures, if he didn't deflect some responsibility, the consequences would be more severe than just being fired. He was from a collateral branch of the Huang family, which belonged to the snake clan, known for their promiscuity during mating seasons. The Huang family had many descendants, and if one failed, another would take over.

Those who were deemed useless would be put to waste.

After listening, Bai Qi showed no particular expression and waved for the man to leave. The head left in fear, finding his back drenched when he logged off.

Bai Qi also logged off, followed by his assistant.

"Master, Bai Xiaoyu not only took our herb acquisition chain on D36 but also established a Herb Base. Are we going to do nothing about it?"

Bai Qi: "Follow me down."

At this moment, Bai Qi was not on Imperial Star but appeared on a relatively remote planet. After saying this, he did not perform any operations, yet the ground, which looked like grass, split open, revealing a staircase leading underground, seemingly endless.

They went down, passing through various security checks, and successfully arrived at the laboratory below.

Many people in white coats were moving around. Bai Qi ignored them and, after several twists and turns, reached a metal door, which he opened with genetic verification.

The scene inside came into view.

Upon entering, there were rows of large transparent egg-shaped containers filled with various eggs of different sizes.

He glanced at them and continued forward. Opening the next door revealed similar large egg-shaped containers, but this time they contained naked adult men and women submerged in deep purple liquid. Each looked as if they were sleeping, waiting to be awakened.

Bai Qi inspected these human weapons, whose minds had been implanted with chips. Once activated, these people would be under his control.

They would feel no pain or sorrow, know no fear or sadness, and fight without hesitation.

Lou Hao had run fast; otherwise, with his peak double-S physique, he would have become one of the best among them after being modified.

What a pity.

These individuals were expected to be fully operational in about a month.

Bai Xiaoyu's side had just started, especially the Herb Base, which was still incomplete. There was no rush. Once the base was nearly finished in a month or two, he would awaken these people and send them to destroy the Herb Base. The look on Bai Xiaoyu's face at that time excited him.

The assistant cautiously asked, "Master, are you planning to send these people later? But according to our intelligence, Bai Xiaoyu has hired retired soldiers from the Sixteenth Legion to guard the Herb Base."

Bai Qi: "What's there to worry about? They're just injured veterans. If they were physically intact, I might be concerned, but now, without even biological mechanical limbs, they are merely immobile wastes. Bai Xiaoyu, that waste, likes to collect wastes, Lou Hao is one, and these injured veterans are another. What kind of trouble can they cause?"

Next time these people are deployed, he would have them capture Lou Hao and Tao Limeng as well.

His cousin was bothering him every day, wanting more body parts after getting Lou Hao's wings.

At this moment, Lou Hao, who had come to find Bai Xiaoyu, suddenly sneezed.

Bai Xiaoyu: "Who is thinking about you?"

Lou Hao's face suddenly turned grim, "Who else could be thinking about me besides the Huang family? They wanted to transfer me to some laboratory where they were researching human weapons."

Bai Xiaoyu: "Unfortunately, when the Sixteenth Legion went there last time, the laboratory was already destroyed, and no data remained intact."

After reporting, Lou Hao left with a grim face. Bai Xiaoyu then went to Qin Yanhuan.

Meanwhile, Bai Qi opened the third door, revealing a single transparent egg-shaped container, but it seemed empty.

He and the assistant watched for a while until a small light blue sphere, about the size of a quail's egg, floated up, with a black dot that resembled an eye.

After watching for a moment, Bai Qi said, "Still haven't found it?"

The assistant replied, "We've searched the entire planet but found no remaining parts. It's either gone or taken away by someone."

Bai Qi stared at the light blue yolk, contemplating. Yes, it was a yolk.

For this thing, they had lost many people, and now they only had this yolk.

They must find the remaining parts and combine them to achieve maximum strength.

This was the ultimate weapon he desired!
