Seeing Nan Ci's murderous aura, Qin Heng immediately backed down, "I didn't want to fight, Sister Ci, please calm down."

Nan Ci said, "I am very calm."

Qin Heng: "No, I think you're not calm."

As he spoke, he hid behind Sang Ning, saying, "Give me some face."

Nan Ci looked at Sang Ning, who responded with a smile and a shrug, perfectly demonstrating her intention not to get involved in their conflict.

She immediately burst into laughter.

"Fine, I'll let it go this time for Sang Ning's sake."

Qin Heng was overjoyed. "Really?"

"Um."

Nan Ci nodded, lowered her sleeves, and transformed back into that radiant beauty.

Qin Heng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and was about to say, "Let's go then," when he heard her say, "Let's meet in the gravity lab tonight."

Qin Heng's face immediately fell.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't mind?"

"I didn't mind."

Nan Ci retorted confidently, "If I were to argue with you, you would already be pinned to the ground and rubbed into the sand. I might even bury you in the sand. Why would I need to schedule a gravity chamber session with you?"

Qin Heng, "..."

Everyone exclaimed, "!!!"

That makes a lot of sense.

Let's go on a date.

Patting Qin Heng on the shoulder, Sang Ning offered a somewhat insincere reassurance, "You really should work on your physique."

As she spoke, she looked at Nan Ci and cautioned, "Take it easy, don't hurt him."

"I'll listen to you."

Nan Ci obediently agreed, and Sang Ning smiled, "Let's go, we'll go pick some rice cakes and make you a medicinal meal."

Is there really such a good thing?

"Do I need to pay?"

In a flash, Dominic remembered the price of the medicinal cuisine she had mentioned earlier and immediately asked, "This wasn't something we asked for; you said you'd make it for us, so it shouldn't be charged, right?!"

"No, this medicinal meal is on me."

She was poor.

Even if you're poor, you can still afford a medicinal meal.

And so, everyone was happy.

Then, a group of people went to pick rice cakes on jiggles.

The round trip took an hour, and by then Emmanuel and his men had brought back six sandworms.

The lively sandworms, though bound hand and foot, wriggled and struggled on the sand like earthworms, trying to break free and escape.

Every time they struggled and loosened their grip a little, the little cubs watching them would pounce on them, howling, and tie them up tightly again.

After several attempts, the sandworm, which refused to open its eyes, seemed to have given up or was preparing a powerful attack and quieted down.

Upon seeing this, Sang Ning said, "Kill the sandworms."

"I'll do it!"

Elliott drew his particle dagger, picked up a sandworm, and said to the little ones, "Dissection lesson begins."

Dun Dun raised his little paw and said, "Teacher, I want to dissect something."

Are you sure?

Elliott looked at him, a smile playing on his lips.

Dun Dun nodded and said seriously, "I'm sure. I want to learn how to dissect a sandworm so I can catch one and cook it for my parents and grandparents."

Dun Dun is the only one among all the children whose parents are still alive, and the happiness and harmony of his family has made him extremely healthy in body and mind.

The remaining children all have some psychological problems due to their family backgrounds.

But that was in the past. Now, with educational robots providing regular psychological counseling, most of the kids' psychological problems have been resolved.

Upon hearing this, she immediately responded enthusiastically, "I want to learn too, I'll make it for my dad when I get back."

"I roasted insect meat for my mother; she works very hard weaving cloth every day."

"My grandfather likes to eat meat, but he is old and his teeth are not good, so I cook meat soup for him to drink."

"·····"

The little brats started arguing back and forth, and few people don't like a filial little brat.

Most intelligent beings are willing to do their part for the sake of children's innocence and filial piety.

Therefore, Elliott agreed very readily, "Okay, we'll learn them all. If the textbooks aren't enough, your teacher Emmanuel can get more."

The little rascals all looked at Emmanuel. Emmanuel wanted to hit someone. Now that so many sandworms had been captured, they had started to spread information among themselves and become very cunning. Compared to before when they could be caught easily, it was now much more difficult to catch sandworms.

However, the innocent smiles of the little ones need to be protected.

So he gave a cool "hmm" and said, "Don't worry about studying. It's just a textbook, there are teachers here."

If all else fails, he takes everyone with him to catch sandworms.

Thus, a vigorous teaching campaign was launched.

Elliott was an expert at dissecting sandworms. As he made his incision, he carefully explained why they should start from this point, how to effectively and quickly peel off the scales of the sandworm without cutting their hands, and so on.

He explained things in a clear and easy-to-understand way, and the little ones nodded repeatedly, asking questions every now and then.

Overall, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Seeing this, Dominic and his team remarked softly, "I find the atmosphere here to be very nice."

"It's not that the atmosphere is good, but that the people here are very friendly."

Qin Heng continued, "You'll discover how wonderful this place is after you stay for a while, even though the living conditions aren't great..."

"That was before."

Sang Ning corrected, "We have a house now."

It's still a cozy little suite.

Although it's not possible to accommodate everyone right now, we can free up two apartments for Dominic and his family.

Of course, they can live on the starship if they want.

"Do you own a house?"

Lois asked, puzzled, "Didn't we all live in sand shelters before?"
