"How about it? You guys are not scared, right?" Bai Li, with his original face, performed a face-changing show for the three people who had just arrived at his house today.

Tang Ying silently wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, ignoring his frightened heart, and murmured, "How dare I..."

He was still confused. How come Bai Li had lost another layer of skin after he hadn't had his period for only half a month? And it was something no one had expected. It was really unexpected!

Wen Xingyao even blamed him for not informing him in advance that he would bring the two deans with him. Didn't he do the same and not tell him that Bai Li was the younger brother that Zhu Moling had been looking for for three years?

The two old men were full of surprise. They looked at Bai Li carefully and compared his current face with Zhu Qingling's face when he was only fifteen years old a few years ago. They confirmed that they were the same person. Then they said to Zhu Moling sincerely, "Congratulations, you two brothers are reunited!"

As they all lived on the "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Star", many people knew that the Sky Fox Clan was frantically looking for their missing young master. Moreover, the Imperial Research Institute had a lot of business dealings with the Sky Fox Clan, and the two old men knew very well Zhu Moling's obsession with finding his brother.

Now that the brothers are reunited, they can only give their most sincere blessings.

"You're welcome." Zhu Moling curled the corners of his mouth and poured a cup of hot tea for each of the two elderly people.

The lingering aroma of tea wafted up from the coffee table, causing Du Jiayin and Fan Yunping to unconsciously look towards the two cups of tea.

They picked up the tea and drank it carefully. The bitter and sweet taste in their mouths made them like it very much, and they couldn't help but drink a few more sips.

While the two were drinking tea quietly, Bai Li looked at Tang Ying with a smile, and then quietly revealed his animal features in front of him.

The snow-white, furry, pointed fox ears, the sharp fox claws, and even the fox tail, he let them flash past behind him.

My goodness, not only the name "Bai Li" is fake, but even his identity as an ancient blue star is fake. It's incredible!

Tang Ying's suddenly widened eyes and slightly dull expression pleased Bai Li, making him feel as if his prank had succeeded and he laughed even more happily.

However, he accidentally ignored the resentful and longing gaze from Wen Xingyao, and his hands that hung naturally on both sides of his body, which he clenched and unclenched unconsciously when he saw the nine big tails.

It’s soft and he wants to touch it too!

At the same time, Wen Xingyao also felt a little headache about Bai Li's sudden change of personality. Ever since Bai Li had two faces, he often switched between the two faces freely, not only in daily life, but even in bed...

He is often asked which Bai Li's Wen Xingyao he likes, and he often wonders if he has received some terrible scumbag script.

Bai Li's "pranks" also have a limit. Before the two old men finished their tea and discovered that he was playing funny tricks on someone standing not far behind them, he had already returned to his original state and turned into a well-behaved and obedient child again.

Feeling that it was not enough for the two of them to just drink tea, he ran to the kitchen, cut up a bunch of fruits, put them together to make a peacock-shaped fruit plate and brought it out.

The unique fruity aroma is the most intense the two old men have ever seen in their lives. Watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, oranges, dragon fruit... each one looks juicy, brightly colored and very fresh.

If they could calmly drink a few sips of tea, they would not dare to touch the large plate of fruit. This, this ...

No! Maybe it's something good that you can't even buy with money. Isn't it a bit too wasteful to cut it all up and treat them?

The good things that appeared one after another made the two old men at a loss. Then they realized that they had prepared gifts for Bai Li in order to come to his house, and quickly took the gifts out of the space button.

"Bai Li, we don't know what you like, so we picked out things that young people like nowadays. This is the most advanced life assistant robot. You can ask it to do any chores you have. And take this card. In the future, you can get a 20% discount when you use this card in any store that has business dealings with the Imperial Research Institute. For example, if you want to upgrade the 'Holographic Game Builder', you can use this card!"

This is a silver-white card made of unknown material. On it is the Imperial Research Institute's emblem drawn with golden lines. The pattern is complex and gorgeous, and looks very textured. Under the emblem, the five characters "Imperial Research Institute" are also written in gold. When this card is close to Bai Li, the optical brain on Bai Li's wrist automatically pops up a prompt asking whether the unfamiliar permissions need to be bound.

It seems that the two old men had set the card owner in advance before coming here.

Now it was Bai Li's turn to be at a loss. To upgrade the "Holographic Game Builder", the upgrade fee for each level was not low. One hundred thousand or five million was fine, but the subsequent twenty-five million, one hundred million, or even ten billion, with a discount, he could save a lot of money immediately...

What these two old men gave was not just a thin card, but a huge sum of money!

Bai Li quickly waved his hand, refusing to accept the card, and expressed his thoughts, saying bluntly that he could not take such a big advantage of them.

"Oh, I remember now. Our Baili has already upgraded the builder to A-level. We only need S-level." Du Lao said with a smile, and pushed the card back. His tone was a little proud. "Just take it. Don't say you haven't made any contribution. You made the game you made have 90% 'mental comfort', which is the greatest contribution to the empire. We should reward you. This should only be part of the reward. We came too hastily. Alas..."

What Du Jiayin didn't tell Bai Li was that the academy had discussed several times how to reward him, but there was no specific conclusion. Some people suggested that they should wait patiently for a while to see how much more surprise Bai Li and his game could bring them. If he could really cure the gene collapse syndrome, he would become a hero of the entire empire.

In fact, for Bai Li now, the money he has in his hands has become a string of simple numbers. With 25 million players, "You Ran Tian Ju" has long become a money-making behemoth. Sometimes he doesn't know where to spend the money...

He had originally planned to buy an agricultural planet to farm once he had money, but after regaining his memory and finding his brother, he learned that he already had one, and it was the largest agricultural planet called "Hope Star".

One has to eat one meal at a time and plant one planet at a time. He probably won't buy any new agricultural planets until he has planted all the crops on "Star Hope".

In essence, Bai Li is still a very "frugal" person.

As for the furry creatures living on "Hope Star", their living space only occupies a small part, and there are still large tracts of land that can be used for planting.

Bai Li's idea was that when he arrived at "Star Hope", he could first set aside a piece of land for artificial planting experiments. It would be even better if the furries not only did not cause him trouble, but also helped him a little within their ability.

Thinking of this, Bai Li briefly stepped aside and glanced at Wen Xingyao, thinking that the Supreme Kitty had done a good job on this issue...

Wen Xingyao had been standing obediently by the side, when he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill. He looked around inconspicuously, thinking it was just an illusion.

When the two deans first met Bai Li, the atmosphere of communication was very lively. How could he have the illusion that someone was plotting against him?

At Du Lao's repeated request, Bai Li finally accepted the card of great significance. Compared with "giving him 2 billion star dollars for free", the life assistant robot became not worth mentioning.

Bai Li thought that he could reveal a little more of his abilities so that the two old people would feel more at ease.

After accepting the gift, Bai Li even more enthusiastically recommended the two old men to eat the fruit plate he had cut himself. He smiled as he watched the two men finish more than half of the fruit plate before he stopped eating, thinking that this amount was just right, and they could have lunch later after digesting it.

The remaining fruit plate was eaten by Tang Ying alone.

The three of them arrived at just the right time, around ten o'clock in the morning. After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wen Xingyao stood up first and said that he should go prepare lunch.

To make lunch, of course, ingredients are needed. Therefore, the lush and growing vegetables in the yard came into the sight of the two old people.

They almost ran over and looked here and there in the yard. They wanted to touch the fresh and juicy vegetables, but they were a little afraid to do it.

Wen Xingyao picked a large cabbage, a few cucumbers, a few tomatoes, and plucked a handful of green onions. He was given several cold stares by the two men, who almost asked him to stop and take it easy.

Bai Li smiled, gave Wen Xingyao a look and told him to go back first. He, his brother and Tang Ying stayed behind and took the two old men to visit the small courtyard that he had finally cleaned up during this period of time.

Or, vegetable garden would be more appropriate.

Du Jiayin and Fan Yunping were like children being led by their parents to visit a botanical garden. They walked, stopped, looked around, and asked a lot of questions out of curiosity.

At the end of the tour, they asked the last question: "Bai Li, is growing vegetables your hobby? As you know, our empire has a special agricultural planet. The people of the empire have never liked to grow plants. Their families call them ornamental plants and don't even have a piece of soil. Are the vegetables you grow different from those on agricultural planets?"

Bai Li smiled mysteriously at this question and said, "Dinner will be served soon. You two will know after you taste the dishes made with them."

It seemed that he was very confident in the vegetables he grew. The two of them couldn't help but look forward to it. Indeed, after the meal was served, they were amazed by the dishes made with these ingredients. They felt that the meals they had eaten in big restaurants for decades at high prices were not as delicious as before.

Du Jiayin picked up a piece of pickled cabbage with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. The crispness of the cabbage and the rich but not pungent sour taste filled his entire mouth. He seemed to be back in his game cabin, watching the live broadcast of the game "Your Ran Tian Ju". The theme of the live broadcast was naturally food.

"This cabbage..." Du Jiayin swallowed the food in his mouth and said in disbelief, "Why do they have the same texture and taste as the vegetables in the game? Aren't we in reality? The vegetables in reality have no taste at all, let alone their taste!"

It may be a bit embarrassing to say it, but in the entire empire, there are currently two major problems for which no one has found the correct solution, nor has anyone found out how they came about.

The first is the "Gene Collapse Syndrome" that plagues all orcs in the galaxy. The second is the "Mystery of Food Taste Degeneration" that puzzles people all over the galaxy. This food includes grains, vegetables, fruits, and even all meats and non-vegetarian foods. Everything that is edible does not taste very good.

These two problems arose suddenly and were not taken seriously at first. However, they repeatedly broke people's bottom line in the long years that followed, and eventually became the two most unbreakable boulders that impeded the empire's progress.

Bai Li acted innocently about this question: "But... they will taste good when they are grown."
