Bonus of ko-fi chapter

Livia’s call was made through a public pay-per-use quantum computer and couldn’t be used for too long, so Yan Tan reluctantly hung up the call, “If only Livia would come with me, but the starship tickets are so expensive.”

Lu Yuan seized the opportunity to fool around, “So we have to buy a starship!”

Shen Mian outside the door, “…”

He still thinks that Lu Yuan should go into business and that the most profitable way is to engage in sales.

Standing off to the side, Yan Zhou took out his quantum computer and brought up their purchase information. He looked at the picture of the amazingly colourful clothes and then thought of the vivid phosphorus dragon on the chest of Livia’s shirt and silently put the quantum computer back in his pocket.

His little dragon cub really is amazing.

……

Cat Eye Live’s Mutual Attraction event had reached the halfway point and many anchors had begun to increase the length of their live broadcasts in order to be ranked, so Shen Mian turned on the live broadcasts again in the afternoon.

The dragon cubs who dreamt of conquering the galaxies of the universe were taught a lesson about being down to earth by the school tyrant, Livia. In the afternoon, the dragons carried a small basket to help Shen Mian pick the dragon grass.

There was a big order in the morning and the buyer left a message saying that they would arrive home the next day, hoping that Shen Mian would deliver the goods later, to try to ensure the freshness of the dragon grass. Shen Mian only delayed this until the afternoon to pick the dragon grass, otherwise, when he cooked in the morning, He Xing would have to pick the dragon grass, pack it up and send it.

Shen Mian looked at the row of three dragon cubs carrying small baskets, “No classes are scheduled for this afternoon, don’t you want to go play for a while?”

Yan Tan, “Livia said to be down to earth!”

Lu Yuan, “Gian said we have to understand the dean’s hard work!”

Gian looked up, “Playing isn’t as important as the dean.”

Would rejecting the dragon cubs now discourage them? The textbooks also mentioned that children should not be spoiled.

Facing the clear eyes of the three little dragon cubs, Shen Mian could only agree, “Well then, I’ll be troubling you.”

Gian led Lu Yuan and Yan Tan, “I’ll teach you how to pick.”

If he wakes up early, he would definitely help He Xing pick the dragon grass leaves, so he knew exactly which leaves could be put out for sale.

Shen Mian turned to tend to other crops.

The open spaces in the backyard were planted with crops that require mana catalysts to grow and these crops usually sell for a relatively high price. When the mana is sufficient and there are no special requirements for environmental conditions, an agricultural robot can take care of it.

Prompted by these crops that could only be grown by eating mana, the wood ability that Shen Mian had largely left unmanaged since awakening finally grew a little.

Shen Mian felt that his spatial ability has long since returned to its original level and then thought about the wood ability that slowly climbed back to the eighth level after repeated use and exercise. He had to admit that he was probably better suited to combat.

The viewers in the live room watched a swaying patch of dragon grass and although Shen Mian didn’t speak, three dragon cubs were enough for the audience to watch all day.

Gian almost merged with the dragon grass, the black and white Lu Yuan was very eye catching and as for Yan Tan…

[Seventh Legion Super God: After watching for a while, I finally realised that black spot was a little dragon cub, I had thought that that piece of land was empty hahahahaha. After all, the centre is on black soil hahaha.]

[I want to see you: I’ve been meaning to say this for a long time, the anchor should be able to make a lot of money from the live broadcast and has planted so many crops, so why should the cubs also work hard? Wouldn’t it be nice to give the cubs a little activity to do? Where does all the money from the live broadcast rewards go? Don’t you have an accounting book?]

[Under the sky: …The person in front is a human, right? I know you mean well, but do you know how much a growing cub has to eat? Let’s talk about Gian alone. On average, he eats two ore bars a month. You can go to the Starnet to search for how much an ore bar is.]

[Crown Prince’s Medal: Moreover, Gian is the centre’s cub… If the dean doesn’t save money, what will Gian do in the future? Gian is an elementary school tyrant. If he continues his studies in the future, wouldn’t he need money? Also, the childcare centre is not part of a public welfare organisation, there is no need to keep an accounting book.]

[I want to see you: I’m just asking, why are you scolding me? Is the anchor your boss? Why are you so protective?]

[Death Rays: I’m confused, who scolded who? Our dean is a kindergarten teacher, a teacher. You’re questioning the character of a teacher… Did you know that the Dragon Empire conducts a comprehensive evaluation of kindergarten teachers every year at the end of October? Morality accounts for 40% of the score. Can you comprehend it before speaking? This is a very serious matter.]

Shen Mian didn’t expect that while he bent down to provide the mana, there was already a lot of bickering and spoke without raising his head, “No childcare centre only teaches books and not morals, some centres will also organise group cleaning for the cubs. Do you want to just report the centre for abusing the cubs?”

[I want to see you: The live content is uninteresting and the anchor is still so unqualified, leaving.]

[Song of Rain: What the hell is all that… so pissed.]

[Not growing grass anymore: ???? I really don’t understand.]

Shen Mian picked off a damaged leaf, “What is there to be pissed about. There are always those who, for their own subjective reasons, did not attend a kindergarten. We should be sympathetic.”

Shen Mian looked back at the three energetic little dragon cubs and suddenly whispered, “In fact, the one who wants them to go out and play the most is me. You probably don’t know how hard it is to get a young dragon cub at this age to sleep at night if they’re not tired from playing during the day.”

Due to the conqueror’s difficulty in coping with three destructive and violent but cute creatures, it finally became paralyzed a few days ago. The hardware damage was too serious and the program had a bug. He Xing and the other two had finally repaired the hardware, but the program has always had problems. So far, it’s still being debugged and not working.

After demolishing the “big toy” that cost more than 90 000 star coins, the three little dragon cubs (mainly referring to Gian) were especially guilty. They haven’t even entered the mock battle arena in the past few days in fear of tearing something down again. The boundless energy causes the three dragon cubs to stay awake every night after listening to fairy tales, pestering He Xing and Yan Huan for stories from the battlefield.

The general, who fought too many battles, could not avoid the “honour” of telling his personal experience and just wanted to fool around. In the end, they dragged Yan Zhou over as well and the three cubs huddled together on the same bed that night, trembling while listening to a fairytale told in a podcast like manner. That night, their peace parted extremely quickly.

Shen Mian figured that Yan Zhou was better than the Conqueror, but unfortunately, Lieutenant General Yan Zhou’s vacation was far less than the other two generals. This useful iceberg coaxer would have to roll back to the Imperial Star in a few days.

Shen Mian intensified his tone of voice, “I hope they go out and play enough every afternoon. Last night, they got up in the middle of the night and counted all the star coins they had saved in their dormitory. The day before yesterday, they pretended to sleep and as soon as I left, they took the paint out to paint, thinking that I knew nothing.”

It seems that until the Conqueror is fixed, it’s necessary to have Yan Zhou bring a professional recorder back to the Imperial Star to read a story and send it to the dragon cubs each night.

Shen Mian thought this was a good idea.

[Xue Lulu: The old father’s troubles hahahahaha I’m going to laugh to death and getting up in the middle of the night to count money, just like my dad hiding his private money.]

[Sesame stuffing?: The person used a really strange metaphor, what do I do if I picture it in my head? Isn’t that too vivid?]

[South East: I can’t, I’m going to die laughing. It’s literally like a video playing on a loop in my head, I laugh as soon as I think about it. My mum just asked me if something was wrong with me and if I should go to the hospital.]

Shen Mian didn’t even look up for a bit, “In this case, I suggest that married women or men set an alarm clock in the middle of the night to check it out, there may be a surprise.”

[Sauce Sauce Sauce: I’ve learnt it, I’ll set an alarm after the broadcast.]

[Writing a thesis!: I’m going to die laughing sooner or later in this live room. The dean is super handsome when he’s disliking people and cute as hell when he’s normal. How in the world can there be such a cool guy hahahahaha.]

While the group of spectators were laughing in their own homes, the three little dragon cubs each held a box and ran over.

The three innocent little dragon cubs didn’t know what their superb dean had just said in the live room. Gian wagged his tail, “Dean, we’ve finished picking.”

Shen Mian washed his hands and took the three boxes, “Alright, thank you for your hard work. Have some snacks.”

Gian patted his little pouch, he had a little gem dragon on it. It was the same little cutie as the one on Livia’s dress, obvious and harmonious on the beige fabric, full of childish cuteness.

“We have brought them!”

Shen Mian rubbed their heads one by one, “Well then, I’ll send the courier first, can you play by yourselves?”

The three dragon cubs nodded their heads at the same time.

Shen Mian turned around at ease, he counted the time it took to book the delivery service in advance. He walked to the door not long after, the courier’s yellow car appeared at the door.

A dragon in human form came over. He was small in stature and his skin was a light greenish colour. He was obviously of the tree dragon species.

In the Dragon Empire, couriers of this type are very rare as most of them are tall and burly dragons who are primarily responsible for machine safety (and blowing up those who dare to cause trouble).

Shen Mian handed the three boxes of dragon leaves to the courier. The other party hurriedly caught them, weighed them up and said with a smile, “Looking at the boxes, I thought they were going to be heavy.”

Shen Mian opened his quantum computer to scan and dock in the courier truck’s self-service system. The courier showed that it was in the storage and entered into the transportation state, “Basically only the weight of the box.”

The courier, however, didn’t leave in a hurry, but instead stood on his tiptoes and took a look behind Shen Mian, his expression very surprised, “This is that latest model of the battle simulation, right? It’s hundreds of thousands of star coins, very expensive stuff!”

The two buildings of the centre were arranged at ninety degrees, with a large open space right in the middle. The mock battle arena was placed in the open space, directly visible from the front gate.

Shen Mian raised his head and looked at him, “Mhm.”

Finding that Shen Mian didn’t answer, the courier smiled awkwardly and put the delivery in the car. He couldn’t help but look back a few times as he left.

It wasn’t until the delivery truck was far away that Shen Mian returned to the centre and locked the gate’s smart lock.

The gate was a bit far from where the quantum computer was placed, the holographic glasses couldn’t receive the data and it was only when Shen Mian reached the dormitory building that the barrage began to scroll again.

[Death Rays: Baby, as long as you come! Mum will definitely buy it! Buy a lot!]

[Crown Prince’s Medal: Too cute, I want to buy ten! In different colours! Baby Yan Tan, can you order one for older sister? Older sister is an aquamarine cetacean dragon.]

[Does your throat hurt today?: This is what a fierce beast should use! Can you draw me a flame dragon? The kind that breathes fire.]

Shen Mian, “???”

He quickened his pace and passed the dormitories.

Instead of eating snacks, the three dragon cubs were standing all in front of the quantum computer’s. All of the snacks in Gian’s pouch were taken out and placed on a clean rock. Lu Yuan was holding a pouch showing the camera 360 degrees, accompanied by a childish voice: 

“Dean handmade all of them! Sturdy and durable! Every pouch is unique!”

“The illustration was painted by Yan Tan! A very cute illustration! You can send a photo over to order. It’s not for sale, it’s a freebie. If you buy more of the dragon grass in our virtual store, you’ll get one when you reach a certain amount!”

“It’s a good deal! Buying dragon grass is a must and also sending a pouch. For a modest amount of star coins, you can get a baby Gian in the same style!”

Shen Mian, “…”

He deliberately coughed.

Yan Tan is a bit more sensitive than Gian and Lu Yuan and as soon as he turned around and saw Shen Mian, he was frightened and hid behind Gian.

Gian quickly tapped Lu Yuan, the little fattie who was dancing around, as soon as he turned around, “!!!”

Shen Mian slowly walked over.

Lu Yuan: …I don’t know why, but I feel so guilty.

Shen Mian wasn’t angry and there was even a bit of relief in his eyes, “I’m very glad that you were able to find the right position for yourself.”

Lu Yuan: “Huh?”

The author has something to say:

Baby Lu Yuan: Falling into confusion, the dean’s thoughts are really unpredictable.
