On Poyang Star, Gan Lin, having just received his package from the delivery robot, eagerly ran next door to Po Qing’s house.
At that moment, Po Qing was feeding his father some medicine. The small white pills contained various vitamins and trace elements that could barely help his father maintain his life.
Unfortunately, his father had been suffering from a mental illness that caused constant headaches, and he couldn’t even drink the nutritional liquid.
He could only rely on these small white pills to provide the nutrients his body needed.
Only these pills, specially designed for patients with mental disorders, could quickly dissolve and deliver the medicine to all parts of the body after being swallowed, unlike nutritional supplements that would be vomited up before being digested due to severe headaches.
Even so, Po Qing’s father found it extremely difficult to take them. After enduring the headache and swallowing the pill, the slightest movement of his muscles or nerves triggered intense pain in his head, and his stomach began to churn.
Eventually, he couldn’t bear it any longer and collapsed on the floor, vomiting uncontrollably, tears and snot streaming from his face in agony.
Only when his body had no strength left would he slowly settle down.
Lying motionless on the bed, if not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one might think he was a corpse.
Every time Po Qing saw this scene, it pained him deeply. He remembered his father’s tall and upright figure, his gentle and smiling face.
The stark contrast between that image and his father’s current helpless and pitiful state only deepened his sorrow.
Po Qing turned his head away, trying to hide his reddened eyes. His father had always been holding on, and even the doctor said his will to live was strong.
Po Qing knew the reason—his father couldn’t bear to leave him, to turn him into an orphan.
After cleaning up the mess his father had just vomited, Po Qing quietly tucked him in and carefully left the room.
However, just as he was about to leave, he was knocked to the ground by a person moving at high speed.
It was Gan Lin, who had just received a package. He hurriedly apologized, “Ah, sorry, sorry, Po Qing, are you okay? I got too excited when I received the package and couldn’t control my speed.”
Gan Lin was much stronger than Po Qing, and since he didn’t stop in time, the collision was quite hard.
But upon hearing the words “I received the package,” Po Qing, unable to care about the pain in his body, immediately scrambled to his feet.
“The package, you said you received the package?”
“Yes, that’s right, the package just arrived.”
Gan Lin happily answered Po Qing’s question, proudly holding the package up to him.
Po Qing’s mood brightened as this package carried all his hopes.
The boy carefully stretched out his hands and solemnly took the small package.
He carefully placed the package on a table, clearing everything off the surface first, then wiping it clean, before placing the package on it.
Po Qing sat at the table, and Gan Lin sat beside him.
With eager anticipation, the two opened the package.
Inside was a set for breeding brine shrimp. A small bottle of brine shrimp eggs, a bag of hatching salt, a bottle of nutrient solution, a breeding bottle, and an instruction manual.
Po Qing carefully took out all the items and arranged them in the center of the table.
Then, he picked up the instruction manual.
Zero-pollution animal brine shrimp hatching method: Fill the breeding bottle 80% full with water, add the hatching salt, stir to dissolve, and after it dissolves, add a small amount of shrimp eggs, letting them float on the surface. Do not stir. Maintain a temperature of 25-28°C, and wait for 36 hours for the shrimp to hatch.
This organism has a suppressive and alleviating effect on mental disorders, and the closer it is to the person, the better the effect.
After reading the manual, the procedure didn’t seem difficult.
Po Qing immediately began following the steps.
First, he filled the breeding bottle with water, using the scale on the bottle to ensure it was 80% full.
He quickly finished, then tore open the bag of hatching salt and poured it into the water.
The small white particles fell to the bottom of the water and formed a thin layer. To speed up the dissolution, Po Qing didn’t want anything else to contaminate the bottle, so he used the lid to seal it and shook the bottle until the salt was fully dissolved.
Next was the crucial step. Po Qing opened the small bottle of brine shrimp eggs and used the small spoon inside to scoop out two spoonfuls of eggs, about one-third of the bottle, and added them to the breeding bottle.
As for the temperature, although Po Qing’s protective shield was old and didn’t block much radiation, its basic temperature control function still worked.
The temperature in this area was always 26°C, which was just right for hatching brine shrimp, so no additional adjustments were needed.
The black brine shrimp eggs floated on the water’s surface, and now they just needed to wait quietly.
Po Qing was mindful of the sentence in the manual, so he placed the breeding bottle on a small table next to his father’s bed, making sure that his father, who was sometimes tossing and turning in pain, couldn’t accidentally knock it over.
On the Imperial Capital Star, Sanni also received three packages from Lin’s shop—one large and two small.
Sanni, after eagerly purchasing the three items, didn’t exit immediately. She carefully reviewed the product descriptions and instructions.
So, she was very familiar with these three items and knew that to understand their effects, the watermelon was the fastest, the brine shrimp eggs second, and the bowl lotus the slowest.
After checking the labels on the packages, she decisively chose the largest one, which contained a big watermelon.
The homebody Sanni opened the package with great skill, and in less than two seconds, the delivery box was opened.
Inside, there was an oval-shaped watermelon with dark green and light green stripes, quietly lying there.
The delivery box was just slightly larger than the watermelon, with protective padding around it. Sanni couldn’t directly reach in to take out the watermelon, so she simply lifted the entire box and dumped its contents onto the sofa.
Thanks to the soft cushion of the sofa, the large watermelon landed safely.
Sanni didn’t bother with the suggestion on the instruction manual about chilling it for better taste. Instead, she grabbed the knife she had previously bought just for this purpose.
With two quick cuts, she removed a small wedge.
The green rind, red flesh, and black seeds were just like the ones in the promotional photo, looking incredibly refreshing and appetizing.
However, Sanni didn’t rush to take a bite. Instead, she brought out her pollution content tester and started testing the watermelon.
She had expected the pollution level to be below 3%, maybe lower than that of purified plants, as many of the interstellar scientific results tend to exaggerate.
The so-called “zero-pollution organisms” were probably just a marketing gimmick.
But to her surprise, when she turned on the tester, the reading truly showed zero.
Now Sanni was amazed—the vendor’s claims were actually true. She tested different parts of the watermelon, and all of them had the same zero reading.
She was thrilled and looked at the watermelon with even more anticipation.
Holding the wedge, she took a small bite, and the sweet juice and flesh spread through her mouth, flowing down her throat.
A cool sensation wrapped around Sanni’s active spiritual energy, as if her mother were gently soothing her like a baby, calming the mischievous mental energy.
Sanni was very young and had always lived a comfortable life. Her spiritual energy was quite healthy, but after eating the watermelon, she felt as though her soul had been cleansed, feeling incredibly refreshed.
She gazed at the remaining watermelon with shining eyes. What kind of divine fruit was this? It tasted great, and the effects were amazing.
She wanted to take another bite but controlled herself. Quickly, she repackaged the watermelon and sent it along with the other two packages to her parents’ house, choosing express delivery.
She was too excited to continue writing and waited for news from her parents about receiving the package while also clicking into Kaka Net.
The same familiar splash screen advertisement appeared, the same store, the same product displays, but now all three display racks showed “out of stock,” with the next batch of products scheduled for release in three days.
Sanni could only sigh in helplessness, then followed up by adding the Lin family’s store to her favorites before exiting Kaka Net.
In the luxurious villa area of the Imperial Rich Star City, the two Kalins brothers, Lucius and Karins, each holding three packages, returned from outside.
The same large and small packages appeared in the hands of the meticulous and composed eldest son, Karins, and the mischievous youngest son, Lucius, catching the attention of their mother, Diana, who was in the living room at the time.
Curious about why the two very different personalities had bought the same items, she called out to them.
After hearing their explanation, Diana became even more interested and asked them to open the packages in the living room. She was very curious about this “zero-pollution organism.”
Unable to resist their persistent mother, the two opened the packages in the living room as she wished.
Diana was originally sitting elegantly in her chair, watching the package being opened.
However, as the knife cut into the watermelon, the fruit’s flesh was revealed, and pink juice began to flow out.
The air filled with a sweet, fruity aroma.
Even Diana, who had tasted all kinds of exotic delicacies, couldn’t help but swallow.
While the top-tier interstellar fruits were good, none of them had the powerful, sweet aroma of watermelon, which was incredibly tempting.
Unable to hold back, she immediately grabbed a piece of the cut watermelon and tasted it.
It was delicious, and the effects on her spiritual energy were remarkable.
For someone like Diana, who had been pampered and had excellent spiritual energy maintenance, she could clearly feel the benefits of the watermelon—it made her already good spiritual energy even better.
She shared her honest feedback with her sons, and when no one else was home, the three of them finished the entire watermelon, leaving only one for the whole family to share later.
