Chapter 135 Recipe "The Empire is fortunate to have you."

When Ji Mingxue entered the holographic cabin to attend the banquet, Shen Qingzhu was not idle either. She was observing the growth of the "Star Rose".

After two months of careful cultivation, the "Star Rose" has now grown three healthy and strong shoots. The light golden plants are firmly rooted in the dark gray surface of the miniature barren planet, and golden orange buds are already faintly visible on the top, about to form.

Shen Qingzhu had seen the "Star Rose" in full bloom more than once before, and had also smelled its extremely special warm and sweet fragrance -

It smells exactly the same as Ji Mingxue's pheromones.

This may be because Ji Mingxue happened to come across a "Star Rose" before the second differentiation, and the subconscious impression of the "Star Rose" was too deep, so later on, pheromones with this scent were differentiated.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingzhu looked at "Star Rose" with even gentler eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes were covered from behind.

At the same time, Ji Mingxue's slightly smiling complaint could be heard in Shen Qingzhu's ears, "You are so affectionate even when you look at a rose. Mr. Shen, I will be jealous if you do this."

Shen Qingzhu was amused by him, and gently pulled down Ji Mingxue's fingers, lowered her head and kissed her lightly, then looked back and smiled, "Are you still jealous after this?"

Some light fell on Shen Qingzhu's slightly raised face.

He was so handsome and his expression was so gentle. From Ji Mingxue's perspective, it seemed like the man was asking for a kiss from him.

Ji Mingxue just followed her heart and sat down beside the couch, hugging Shen Qingzhu's neck and kissing her closely.

Even with the mental barrier blocking them, Ji Mingxue still sighed with satisfaction when the kiss ended.

Shen Qingzhu smiled and carried him onto the couch, letting Ji Mingxue lean on his arms like a boneless person.

"How was your night?"

Seeing that Ji Mingxue seemed to have something on his mind, Shen Qingzhu asked him in a gentle voice.

Upon hearing this, Ji Mingxue immediately remembered some changes at the banquet and said to Shen Qingzhu with a smile, "Today I met many Omega elders who have not appeared at the New Year banquet for a long time."

"They and their partners asked me to convey their gratitude to you."

"They said that thanks to the new inhibitor you developed, they were able to spend this New Year comfortably."

Shen Qingzhu responded softly, knowing that Ji Mingxue did not get to the point.

Ji Mingxue seemed to suddenly become interested. She hugged Shen Qingzhu's neck and said with a smile, "In fact, it's not just them. Since your new inhibitor came on the market, the discussion about you among Omegas has skyrocketed. Many Omegas express their gratitude to you on the forum and Starblog every day."

To be precise, it's a mad output of flattery.

There are also those who confess their love to Shen Qingzhu crazily.

It's almost like comparing Shen Qingzhu to the Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

Seeing this, Ji Mingxue felt proud of Shen Qingzhu, but at the same time, she couldn't help digging her toes into the ground, and occasionally she would feel jealous of those little confessions.

But no matter what, when Ji Mingxue saw that Shen Qingzhu's efforts received so much positive feedback and thanks, she was still very happy for him.

When Ji Mingxue thought that Shen Qingzhu's inhibitor might change the lives and even the destinies of many Omegas, she couldn't help but admire him and really respected Shen Qingzhu.

"Hubby, how come you are so awesome~"

Feeling so proud, Ji Mingxue leaned close to Shen Qingzhu's ear and whispered softly.

Because the distance was so close, Shen Qingzhu could even feel his slightly warm breath softly drilling into his cochlea, and then along the cochlea, warming his heart.

Miraculously, whether in the original world or in this world, no matter how much thanks and praise he heard, Shen Qingzhu could always remain calm.

But when Ji Mingxue looked at him with such bright and admiring eyes that seemed to contain countless little stars, Shen Qingzhu's heart was suddenly filled with great satisfaction, and inexplicably a little embarrassed, and the tips of his ears turned red in an instant.

Also, the name Ji Mingxue is really...

Seeing the fat bamboo shoots getting restless again, Shen Qingzhu closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to suppress the burning heat in his heart, and said in a gentle voice, "It's not just my credit."

"The reason why the new inhibitor was able to be launched so quickly and used by so many omegas so quickly is the result of the joint efforts of many people."

If it weren't for Uncle Chang Ning and the "idle" employees, as well as the Ji family's backing behind the scenes, Shen Qingzhu's new inhibitor would never have been able to be marketed so smoothly and quickly.

In addition to these, the Imperial University alumni circle also played an important role in the promotion of new inhibitors.

Because Shen Qingzhu was attacked during the exam, the officials of the Imperial University have always felt guilty towards him and have not evaded the management lapses of the Imperial University in that attack.

Because of this, the officials of the Imperial University not only cooperated fully with the Third Legion's investigation and dug out all the participants as quickly as possible, but also solemnly apologized to Shen Qingzhu and promised that something like this would never happen again.

After that, the Imperial University not only reorganized its internal management and security organizations, but also contacted many former alumni before Shen Qingzhu's new inhibitor was officially launched on the market, asking them to help take care of Shen Qingzhu, the junior.

Those alumni are now all outstanding people, holding high positions in many planets and industries.

The reason why the new inhibitor of "Idleness" can travel unimpeded on so many planets is that in addition to the Ji family's escort, the role of the Imperial University alumni circle cannot be underestimated.

He told Ji Mingxue all this seriously.

Ji Mingxue did not fully agree after hearing this. He reminded Shen Qingzhu, "Capital is all about profit. Many people get involved just because it is profitable, not because they really care about the younger generation."

The reason why the Imperial University alumni circle is famous and crowned with countless golden halos is simply because those who can enter this first university in the empire are already well-funded and are geniuses that ordinary people can hardly reach.

Such a person, even if he did not enter the Imperial University, could not be mediocre.

After God became great, these people simply had an opportunity to get to know each other and interact with each other legitimately, and it also made it easier for many people to exchange resources when they were still young.

Therefore, it does not mean that as long as you are a student of Imperial University, former alumni will give you unconditional help.

Although there may be some people who would help others without asking for anything in return just because they are alumni.

But for most of the high-ranking alumni of the Imperial University, the reason they participated in the promotion of the new inhibitor and gave it the green light on various planets was simply because they were very optimistic about Shen Qingzhu's identity as a 3S-level Alpha and wanted to use this to establish a good relationship with Shen Qingzhu.

Otherwise, before this, they wouldn't even be able to see Shen Qingzhu.

Being able to take this opportunity to have some involvement with Shen Qingzhu, even if it is just a trivial involvement, is very likely to bring them unexpected benefits.

Also, although the Empire only has more than 10 billion Omegas, which is not a lot compared to the total population of 500 billion, it is still a huge market.

Compared with previous Omega inhibitors, Shen Qingzhu's new inhibitor has obvious advantages, enough to change the entire industry landscape.

Those people took this opportunity to join in just to get a piece of the pie.

Because of this, many Imperial University alumni are so actively involved in this matter.

Shen Qingzhu is a person who likes to return favors. He always finds ways to repay other people's kindness.

Because of this, Ji Mingxue was very worried that he would treat those people as good people who asked for nothing, and would allow those people to become more and more demanding in the future.

Only then could he tell Shen Qingzhu in detail that those alumni would also benefit from this incident.

Shen Qingzhu laughed and couldn't help wondering, in Ji Mingxue's eyes, what kind of naive, innocent and easily deceived little poor thing was he?

But I have to say that Shen Qingzhu was really happy that Ji Mingxue cared about him so much.

Because of this, even though Shen Qingzhu was aware of all the twists and turns in his mind, he still listened carefully to Ji Mingxue's earnest instructions.

After saying that, seeing that Ji Mingxue felt a little dry in the mouth, Shen Qingzhu handed him a cup of scented tea to moisten his throat.

After Ji Mingxue finished drinking, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then he remembered another thing.

"I met Marshal Ji Chai at the banquet."

"Hmm?" Shen Qingzhu thought for a moment, "Is it Marshal Ji Chai from the 'Expeditionary Force'?"

Ji Mingxue didn't ask him how he knew that person, but just nodded and said, "He wants to order a batch of new inhibitors."

Shen Qingzhu:?

Shen Qingzhu never cared about orders. It was always "Idleness" who took care of it.

But since Marshal Ji Chai approached Ji Mingxue directly, and Ji Mingxue specifically told him about this, could it be because, "the quantity is huge?"

Ji Mingxue: "Well, he wants to order 80 million."

Shen Qingzhu pondered.

This number may sound large at first, but, "How many Omegas are there in the 'Expeditionary Force'?"

Ji Mingxue did not hide it, "About two million."

Shen Qingzhu: "That's only enough for each person to use 40 times."

According to the imperial history, it can only last a little more than three years.

But the transportation time alone takes nearly a year.

In other words, if it is really manufactured by the Empire and supplied to the "Expeditionary Force", transport ships will have to be sent to deliver the goods three years later.

This also requires consideration of the preservation of the new inhibitor. If there is any leakage during transportation, the inhibitor may become ineffective.

There are also issues such as shelf life.

After thinking for a while, Shen Qingzhu finally said, "The 'Expeditionary Force' is too far away from the empire, the transportation time is too long, and the cost is too high. I don't actually recommend that Marshal Ji Chai purchase it from the country."

"I can provide the formula to Marshal Ji Chai and let the 'Expeditionary Force' produce the inhibitors directly on the front line. This will not only save transportation time and costs, but also ensure the supply of inhibitors to the frontline Omegas to the greatest extent."

Ji Mingxue opened her eyes slightly and didn't say anything for a long time.

Noticing his unusually complicated expression, Shen Qingzhu smiled and tapped his head lightly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ji Mingxue stared at him without blinking, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

That is a new inhibitor formula that is unique to the Empire!

As long as Shen Qingzhu wanted, she could rely on this recipe to live a life without worries about food and clothing!

But if he gives the formula out, who can guarantee that the "Expeditionary Force" will not leak it to others?

Of course, this is from the perspective of Shen Qingzhu's personal interests.

If we consider Ji Mingxue's identity as the crown prince, Shen Qingzhu's actions will undoubtedly make Ji Chai grateful to him, and will also greatly increase his favorability towards Ji Mingxue, his lover. Ji Mingxue may even get strong support from Ji Chai's faction.

But this is not what Ji Mingxue wants.

His feelings for Shen Qingzhu were never mixed with any utilitarianism, and he never expected to gain any power benefits from Shen Qingzhu.

But Ji Mingxue is not so narcissistic.

Although if Shen Qingzhu really did this, it would most likely lead to such a result, but Ji Mingxue still believed that Shen Qingzhu did this not to help him win people's hearts.

Ji Mingxue could even guess why Shen Qingzhu wanted to do this.

But he couldn't help asking, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Shen Qingzhu thought for a moment and said, "First of all, my current wealth is enough for me to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life."

In other words, he is not short of money.

"Secondly, although my life has had its ups and downs over the past 18 years, it has generally been peaceful and I have not encountered any war."

"But I know very well that this peace is not without a price. It is earned with the blood and even the lives of generations of people on the front lines."

Although the Leman Empire has rarely publicized the "Expeditionary Force" in recent years, as long as you are interested, you can still find a lot of information related to the "Expeditionary Force".

So Shen Qingzhu knew very well that in places far away from the empire, there were still many people fighting bloody battles to protect the empire and even all mankind.

"I don't have any extraordinary talent in the military field. I only have some superficial achievements in studying pheromones."

Shen Qingzhu said seriously, "If the new inhibitor I developed can make the lives of those Omega warriors on the front line better, I will be very happy."

Speaking of this, Shen Qingzhu's face suddenly felt a little hot, because these words sounded really high-sounding.

If the person in front of him wasn't Ji Mingxue, he really couldn't tell anyone.

Even if he said it, other people probably wouldn't believe it, and might even say he was just seeking fame.

Ji Mingxue did not disappoint him.

After hearing this, she didn't think his words were false. Instead, she hugged Shen Qingzhu's waist tightly and sighed, "Shen Qingzhu, how can you...how can you be so good!"

"Those politicians who are always arguing about the 'Expeditionary Force' issue should really listen carefully to what you just said!"

"If the Empire had more people like you, the 'Expedition' would have returned victorious long ago."

He took Shen Qingzhu's jade-white hand and kissed it lightly. He looked up and deeply into Shen Qingzhu's gentle green eyes, and said solemnly, "The empire is lucky to have you."
