I'm Pregnant with the World's Hope

After a one-night stand, human Jian Luo discovered she was pregnant, and the child she was carrying might not even be human...

In Star Year 25, all of humanity migrated to Dark Star, living i...

Chapter 2 Puffed Foods

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the light brain seemed to be silent for a moment, as if it was doubting whether he was dreaming.

Jian Luo was annoyed and angry: "Are you stuck?"

The optical computer finally spoke: "There are two conditions for becoming an excellent farmer."

Only two o'clock? No big deal.

"First: Family savings must reach 100,000 Star Coins."

"Second: Have a Dark Star account."

These were beyond Jian Luo's common sense. The first one was relatively understandable. Wasn't household registration something that everyone was registered with when they were born?

Jian Luo hesitated and asked, "How do I get a Dark Star account?"

The optical computer froze for a moment, as if questioning Jian Luo's IQ.

Jian Luo was annoyed and angry: "Why don't you say it?"

The optical computer quickly checked: "To obtain a Dark Star household registration, humans need to meet two conditions. First, they must make special contributions to Dark Star. Second, their household's total annual vegetable output must reach 10 tons."

Jian Luo felt like he had been poured cold water on: "Then I have no chance?"

The optical brain was understanding: "No, there are."

"Really?" Jian Luo suddenly became excited: "What is it?"

"If you marry a Dark Star person, you can obtain a Dark Star household registration and leave Anle Paradise to go to the upper Sky City."

As a dependent race, humans are only allowed to live in the underground paradise. The Dark Star people basically live in the sky city above, which is the most prosperous and most technologically advanced magic city on the Dark Star.

Jian Luo's mouth twitched: "What a joke, how can I get married as a man? Why didn't you tell me that I was pregnant?"

The optical brain said: "So at present, your chance of getting married is 20%, and the chance of getting pregnant..."

It must be said that Jian Luo was actually damn curious: "How much is it?"

"0%." The optical computer said, "Based on big data calculations, if you can successfully marry a Dark Star person, you can register your household registration. If you can successfully become pregnant, since Dark Star has never given birth to new life in a hundred years, you will become the hope of the world."

Jian Luo was stunned: "A hundred years? So this race is still the strongest in the entire galaxy? Is it going to be extinct?"

"Don't worry. Dark Star has the most advanced technology, capable of cloning and regenerating bodies." The optical brain felt as if it were teaching a preschool class. "Especially for dragons like the Marshal or His Majesty, surviving for hundreds of years is not a problem."

Jian Luo was still puzzled: "Why is there no new life being born?"

Could it be that the entire planet is infertile?

This is too shocking.

"Dark Star people are naturally brave and skilled in warfare, strong and sturdy, and are elites in every field. The more advanced the race, the harder it is for them to have children." The optical computer gave a thoughtful example: "For example, the powerful dragons and vampires have a hard time giving birth to cubs for hundreds or thousands of years. This is common knowledge in the universe."

Jian Luo was silent for a while: "Why do I feel like you are scolding us humans?"

The optical brain said considerately, "Humans rarely have multiple births, most have single births, which shows that their level is already quite high."

That makes sense.

Jian Luo was actually convinced by its logic.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these impractical things." Jian Luo said: "Is there any entertainment section, live broadcast or something? I'll go check it out."

The optical brain thoughtfully transferred him to the largest entertainment section. Food live broadcast is always the most popular channel on Dark Star, because this powerful planet loves delicious food the most.

Jian Luo walked around and found that there were a wide variety of delicious foods, but most of them were nutrient solutions with new flavors or meat dishes, with no vegetables.

He was a blogger in his previous life and loved studying marketing.

I was naturally interested in the new platform, and once I entered I couldn't move.

Jian Luo stayed in his nest for the whole morning, and finally felt hungry again in the afternoon. He tried to get up from the bed, but before he could take two steps he started coughing madly. It was a heart-wrenching cough that involved his heart and lungs, causing his whole body to tremble.

"Brother?" The younger brother appeared at the door and came over to support Jian Luo.

Jian Luo's face turned red from coughing: "It's okay."

The younger brother helped him sit down and said, "Brother, you haven't recovered yet, so don't move around."

"It's okay." Jian Luo felt that he might be able to find the answer: "Mom is not here, tell me, how did I get hurt?"

The younger brother was stunned and looked away guiltily.

Jian Luo frowned: "Are there only three of us in our family?"

The younger brother nodded. He knew his brother had lost his memory, so he said, "Dad died a long time ago, and Mom has been raising us."

Jian Luo thought to himself, as expected, he was only in his early 20s, but he looked a little weak, almost like a boiled chicken, and was a little malnourished.

The younger brother hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, you were injured because you were protecting Mom."

Jian Luo: "Tell me more details."

So I then briefly explained the whole story. On Dark Star, the strong prey on the weak, and the legal order in Anleyuan is especially fragile. Whoever has money and power has the greatest say.

Anleyuan's main financial income comes from planting and fruit production.

Jian Luo and his younger brother Jian Sheng were still students, so the burden of the family fell on Su Liang, a woman. How much labor could a woman provide? It was just a drop in the bucket.

That’s not even the worst of it.

Su Liang was good-looking and her husband had died, so naturally she was easily coveted. After the original owner came back from school, she happened to see someone trying to force her mother, so she went over to fight. However, her body was too fragile, so she was beaten into the horrible state she is in now.

Younger brother Jian Sheng said, "Brother, those people are really too much. They actually came to us to ask for medical expenses!"

Jian Luo's eyes widened: "What?"

"Because you beat him up to protect Mom, he came to ask for the medical expenses." Jian Sheng said angrily, "Mom was afraid they would cause trouble, so she had no choice but to give him the money."

Jian Luo: "Is there no law governing this?"

Jian Sheng sat cross-legged on the bed: "Because they have a little sister at home."

Jian Luo: "So?"

"My younger sister married a Dark Star person," Jian Sheng said, "so in Anleyuan, they can almost walk sideways."

“…”

Jian Luo couldn't understand: "Do the Dark Star people have such great power?"

The younger brother smiled and said, "In school, humans cannot study with Dark Star people. If a human breaks the rules, he will be expelled. If a Dark Star person breaks the rules, he will just be criticized."

Jian Luo was silent.

He traveled to the future, but the future was dark.

The family is now penniless. The only mother is coveted by evil forces, the younger brother has to go to school, and Jian Luo is the only labor force left, who is disabled in bed.

“…”

What a suffering in life this is.

Jian Luo looked at the way his younger brother was looking at him. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he realized that this kid was also skinny, with big eyes, but his skin was an unhealthy yellow. He looked to be only about ten years old, and the clothes he wore were tattered.

Jian Sheng asked cautiously, "Brother, are you okay?"

Jian Luo regained his composure and said calmly, "What could possibly happen to your brother? He's fine... cough cough!"

He couldn't help but start coughing wildly again.

The younger brother patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, I don't want to go to school anymore."

Jian Luo wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to go, then I won't go. What can a little brat like you do here?"

Jian Sheng looked at him: "But brother, you are like this now..."

"I can't die!"

Jian Luo is not a pessimist, nor is he someone who likes to sit and wait for death. He thought of the entertainment channel he watched today. It seemed that they were signing anchors there, but the prerequisite for signing was that the anchor had to submit a food presentation first, and only after it passed the review could the show start.

gourmet food.

There was a sound outside, and Su Liang walked in: "Luoluo, are you hungry? There is a potato at home. Mommy went to cook it for you."

Jian Luo stood up: "No, Mom, I'll go to the kitchen with you."

The woman was a little confused, but Jian Luo insisted.

Coming out of the house, the outside was even simpler, but clean. There was a small sofa in the small living room, and a window on one wall. The sunlight came in, adding some vitality to the room.

Jian Luo walked into the kitchen and found a shelf full of nutrient solution, with only one potato and one corn on the chopping board.

Su Liang said, "Luoluo, what do you want to eat? Mommy will make it for you."

"No need." Jian Luo walked to the chopping board and began to think about how to make delicious food with corn and potatoes.

First of all, the people of Dark Star must have basically eaten corn and potatoes, which can no longer be considered delicacies. Secondly, stir-frying them is not realistic, after all, there is no chili and seasoning.

Jian Luo looked around the kitchen and suddenly noticed a basin of water in the corner: "What is that?"

Su Liang came over and took a look: "It's the vegetable oil left over from the machine when we sold potatoes yesterday. It's useless and Mom didn't have time to pour it out."

Oil?

What a great thing!

Jian Luo was overjoyed and immediately had an idea. He turned his head and said, "Mom, can you give me that corn too?"

Su Liang was stunned. That was for his younger brother Su Sheng to eat...

Jian Luo quickly added: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely make a lot of money in the future so that we can eat vegetables every meal at home."

"You kid." Su Liang sighed softly, and the gentle woman smiled: "Okay, I'll give it to you."

At worst, she could just work a little harder and give it to Su Sheng after a while.

After getting the consent, Jian Luo started to work. First, he asked his brother and mother to help grind the corn into powder. Then he found a knife and started cutting the potatoes into strips as thick as his little finger.

Su Liang and his younger brother looked at Jian Luo's behavior, which was obviously like wasting food, and were a little puzzled.

Jian Luo smiled: "It's okay, trust me!"

Su Liang felt that his son's brain seemed to be a little abnormal since he woke up from his injury, but his son had always been autistic, and now he seemed much more cheerful, so... let him be.

Jian Luo coated the potato strips with corn flour, heated oil in a pan, and when ready, put them in the pan and started frying.

As time goes by, the aroma slowly spreads, the potato strips begin to turn golden and crispy, the oil is boiling, and the soft and glutinous potato strips gradually become hard, and the wonderful aroma of puffed food begins to tease people's taste buds.

The younger brother smelled the food and suddenly felt hungry.

He used to think potatoes were fragrant, but for some reason, the ones fried in oil were even more fragrant!

"Alright." Jian Luo turned off the fire and fished out the potato cubes. He picked up a piece with his chopsticks, turned his head to look at his younger brother, and smiled slightly: "Come, help me taste it."

I was a little shy, but I still came over and took a bite of the fries with chopsticks. The golden and crispy fries went down my throat, giving me a wonderful sense of satisfaction.

Jian Luo didn't know if it was successful, so he had to ask: "How?"

The younger brother's eyes widened slowly, filled with amazement: "This is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten!"

Su Liang also came over to try it. When the puffed snack entered her mouth, she showed the same surprised expression as her younger brother.

Jian Luo knew that he had succeeded. He quickly opened his information watch, recorded the taste and shape of the food, and uploaded it to the live broadcast review platform.

As long as the French fries can successfully pass the review, he can make money by live streaming!

I just wonder if people in the interstellar age will like snacks?
