Chapter 9 How to Invite the Military

Lu Shifeng's fingertips lightly tapped, a faint smile on his lips: "Give me his information."

Secretary Jin was suspicious: "What do you mean?"

The last person whose information the Marshal asked for, no one knows where his ashes have been scattered. Who would have known that Marshal you could be so stingy!

Lu Shifeng asked, "Do you like eating what he cooks?"

Secretary Jin was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded honestly: "Yeah."

"Do you remember why we accepted humans into the Dark Star?"

Lu Shifeng picked up the water on the table and took a sip. The pair of hands holding the gun now matched the white jade water glass so well. When this man calmed down, he looked like an elegant nobleman.

Secretary Jin recalled: "Because we found that human fruits and vegetables can help stabilize the mood of Dark Star people and help the brain secrete dopamine."

As we all know, dopamine is a molecule that can make people feel happy.

The Dark Star people are born lacking in this aspect. To be more specific, they cannot make themselves happy.

Although the entire universe knows that the Dark Star people are brave, smart, and leading in all aspects, they also find that the Dark Star people seem to be in a depressing atmosphere all year round.

The arrival of humans broke this deadlock.

Some people quickly discovered that eating fruits and vegetables can make people feel happier.

Lu Shifeng put down the water cup: "Hundreds of years have passed, and the efficacy of vegetables has been declining."

"Yes." Secretary Jin sighed. "Dopamine needs stimulation, but eating the same few vegetables year-round will definitely make you tired. Soldiers in our army used to be under great pressure from combat, and it was often difficult to relieve stress after returning from bloodbaths. When fruit was first introduced, their mental state was good, but it's gradually declined over the years."

Lu Shifeng raised his eyelids, his pair of auspicious eyes showing a thoughtful look: "What about the French fries?"

Secretary Jin was stunned.

Yes, she found that after tasting French fries, her mood was extremely active for almost a period of time, which was a sign of increased dopamine.

"You mean to say..."

Lu Shifeng nodded slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, the response to his live broadcast was very good."

Secretary Jin responded, "I heard it seems to be very good."

If the newly developed dishes can really stimulate the secretion of dopamine better, then naturally they can make a stagnant pool of water active again.

Lu Shifeng said, "Give me his information."

Secretary Jin figured it out and immediately said, "Yes!"

Anleyuan

It is summer now. If the sky city above is like a prosperous modern society, then the Anle Garden with its green trees, small bridges and flowing water is more like a carefree ancient time.

Jane Luo had hung a rocking cradle in front of her small yard and was sitting on it drawing a blueprint.

The younger brother came over and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Draw my future home." Jian Luo bit the pen cap and said, "Our house is too small. We'll have to buy another one in the future."

The younger brother came over to take a look, then lowered his eyes and said, "We can't buy it."

Jian Luo frowned: "Why?"

The younger brother sat next to him and fanned him: "Because we don't have a household registration, we are currently living in an allocated house. If we want to buy a new house, we need a household registration."

Jian Luo was a little annoyed and sat up: "Household registration is so important."

The younger brother nodded: "We humans strive our entire lives just to get a hukou."

“…”

Jian Luo recalled the requirements for settling in: First, special contribution to Dark Star. Second, the total output value of the family must reach 10 tons of vegetables.

He sighed softly: "10 tons of vegetables is a tall order."

The younger brother nodded and said, "Don't worry, brother. When I graduate, I will come down to farm and help you. One day, I will realize my wish."

Jian Luo rubbed his head: "Don't worry about adults' affairs."

He couldn't expect a child to do something. Jian Luo put down the design drawings and started to reconnect to the optical network to check the situation online.

Public opinion seemed to be pushed by someone behind the scenes, and it gradually began to intensify.

"Do anchors now have no professional ethics at all?"

"Grandstanding."

"We strongly demand that Jinjiang Live Network ban this anchor."

A group of people were making a lot of noise. Jian Luo frowned and was not in a good mood. He felt a little tired after flipping through the pages for a while.

He was about to do some farm work, but just as he clicked the close button, the page refreshed with a new message:

Jiang Jiang from Jinjiang Literature Network stated: "Given recent online concerns about the safety of new food ingredients, we have decided to send the food for quality inspection and will provide a candid explanation. We also ask everyone to stop making malicious comments and making unfounded assumptions about our anchor, otherwise we will take legal action to protect our rights."

The words were powerful and the tone was firm.

Jian Nan opened Jiang Jiang's private message: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Jiang Jiang said, "You know, the inspection agency won't accept simple food like ours. But for some reason, the military just sent someone over to take it away and said they'd help send it for inspection."

Jian Luo's jaw almost dropped: "Who did you say sent someone to take it away?!"

Jiang Jiang was startled by him: "Jun, the military, what's wrong?"

For some reason, Jian Luo felt like he was being entangled.

Although the other party was helping him, he always felt that he had to pay a heavy price for owing a favor to them.

Jiang Jiang also figured it out: "Luoluo, how can you, a human being, invite those people from the military?"

Jian Luo was not confident: "I don't know either."

"Hahaha." Jiang Jiang was still rather naive: "Maybe it's because the food you made is so delicious that they want to eat yours too."

“…”

Brother, you have a dry sense of humor.

Jian Luo chatted with Jiang Jiang for a while, but instead of feeling relieved, he felt even more depressed.

There was a sound coming from the yard outside. Someone was knocking on the door. He didn't bother to ask Secretary Jin and ran out. The yard was not big and he reached the end in a few steps.

There was a loud knock on the door, and Jian Luo pulled his brother back: "Who is it?"

"Hello, is this Jian Sheng's home?" An impatient voice came from outside: "I'm his teacher."

Jian Luo subconsciously glanced at his brother.

The younger brother shrank his head, with an obvious flash of anxiety in his eyes. In fact, Jian Luo himself had noticed it recently. The child's school was always on vacation, either he skipped classes or the school was about to close down.

Jian Luo knew what was going on and went over to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a woman about 180cm tall, even slightly taller than Jian Luo. She looked at Jian Luo and said, "You are Jian Sheng's brother."

Jian Luo: "Yes, teacher, please come in."

The woman stepped in condescendingly. "Let me introduce myself. My last name is Wang, I'm from Dark Star, and I'm also his homeroom teacher. I'm here to handle the matter of his withdrawal from school."

Jian Luo was slightly surprised: "Can you tell me the specific reason?"

Teacher Wang glared at Jian Sheng and said, "Take your child back home sooner rather than later. I simply can't teach him. He actually dared to fight with his classmates!"

“…”

That’s it?

Jian Luo looked down at his younger brother: "Did you hurt someone?"

"No." The younger brother lowered his head: "I just pushed him."

That shouldn't be the case.

Jian Luo looked up at the teacher: "Teacher, isn't it normal for children to fight with each other? In this way, I will apologize to his classmates on his behalf. Is that okay with you?"

The teacher sneered, his eyes filled with disdain. "You're doing it for me? What's the point? You know he pushed someone from the Dark Star, and he still refuses to apologize."

Jian Luo's heart sank, knowing that this matter could not be resolved peacefully.

He pulled his younger brother aside and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

The younger brother said, "That Dark Star guy stole the potato pancakes you made for me."

“…”

Jian Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why didn't you tell me?"

The younger brother turned his face away, very stubbornly: "You can scold me if you want, and hit me if you want, but I won't apologize anyway."

Jian Luo looked at him teasingly.

The little brother's face was tense, his eyelashes were trembling, and his clenched hands clearly showed his uneasiness.

Jian Luo patted his shoulder: "You have backbone!"

The younger brother was slightly surprised: "Aren't you going to scold me? I hurt the Dark Star people and I might even be fired."

"What's the big deal?" Jian Luo said indifferently, "You're not wrong. Why should I scold you? We are sojourners on this planet, but we are not their dogs. As human beings, we must have backbone no matter what. You are very brave. You know, the hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage."

My brother's eyes were filled with tears.

Jian Luo gently touched his head and said, "Let's go and talk to the teacher."

Teacher Wang had been waiting impatiently by the side. "Have you two finished your discussion? You're so rude! I already said I'm here to arrange for him to take a leave of absence. If you don't agree, that's fine. I've never taught such a rude child before. Of course, if you insist on going to school, that's fine too."

Jian Luo raised his eyebrows: "What are the conditions?"

"Apologize to that child in front of everyone." Teacher Wang flicked her hair. "However, the school will issue a notice of criticism, and you will also have to pay 10,000 Star Coins for psychological treatment."

Jian Luo: "Teacher..."

Teacher Wang interrupted him: "Don't try to negotiate with me. I know your family is poor, but you definitely have 10,000 yuan."

Jian Luo smiled and said, "No, you misunderstood."

Teacher Wang looked at him puzzledly.

"What I mean is, we won't be attending. Please help us with the transfer procedures." Jian Luo said lazily, "After all, there's more than one school in the world, right?"

Teacher Wang was startled, and looked around at Jian Luo again, sneering: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, our school's tuition is already the lowest. The tuition for higher-level colleges starts at 50,000 yuan. Your family..."

The younger brother clenched Jian Luo's hand.

Jian Luo looked down at him and saw that the stubborn kid's face suddenly had two lines of tears. He said, "Brother, I'd better go and apologize."
