Sitting by the window, Ye Qiuling took a small note handed to her by a robotic bird. "Ye, today's potion is strawberry flavored. Do you like it? Are your injuries any better?"

A gentle ripple appeared in Ye Qiuling's eyes as she picked up the note and replied, "The strawberry flavor tastes much better than the regular medicine, and my wounds aren't serious either. These people are gradually losing their ability to beat me, and they've rarely bothered me lately."

Watching the robotic bird fly away, Ye Qiuling silently looked at her textbook again, recalling the fragmented dream she had last night.

Why am I wearing a Starfleet uniform and have become an alpha?

This dream is too outrageous.

But how did it change? It's so amazing. Could it be that I was an alpha to begin with?

The pen spun in my hand in various fancy ways.

The robotic bird reappeared, landing on the table and interrupting Ye Qiuling's reverie. She picked up the envelope from beside the bird's feet and said, "Then I'll make you a cake to celebrate our little Ye's improved strength. Those scumbags can't beat you, so you can beat them back! Also, what flavor do you want?"

Upon seeing this line, Ye Qiuling paused in replying, “Strawberry cake, so when can we meet? I have a strange dream to tell you in person.”

"No, I'm already dead~ You're the one who caused this."

The voice was soft yet indifferent.

Suddenly, a disheveled woman in a nanny uniform, covered in blood, appeared before her, laughing maniacally, "Hahahaha! You killed Miss Xia! She saved your life! Otherwise, you would have died in that dark, dilapidated room long ago!"

"!"

Ye Qiuling sat up abruptly from the bed, her face deathly pale. She pressed one hand to her aching chest and looked through the window at the house next door. The light in Xia Shizhao's room had hardly ever been on.

It's been almost a week since we last met.

She went to great lengths to create these chance encounters, finally managing to build a little closer to her. (In her own eyes~)

Now she can't find her again. She initially thought she was busy because Xia Shizhao usually spends a lot of time in the lab and doesn't go home or comes home late. She waited patiently for four days, but finally couldn't wait any longer and went to the classroom to look for her, only to find that she had taken leave.

bite--

"Boss, Xia Shizhao is participating in a competition in Venus."

After glancing at the message, Ye Qiuling's fingers twitched slightly. "Change my identity and book me an airship ticket for around this time."

"OK."

Ye Qiuling drank a bottle of disguise potion. Jin Xing was under the command of another general, and she didn't get along with him. She didn't want to see him and cause trouble.

She used to only have precognitive dreams, but after Xia Shizhao jumped off the cliff, all she had were memories of the past.

Ye Qiuling deeply regretted not spending more time with Xia Shizhao back then, as she might have discovered that she was indeed her.

Meanwhile, Venus, which has a day-night cycle with the planet Venus.

Xia Shizhao was so annoyed by Ling Ying that he wanted to curse her.

"Honey, won't you really consider me as your mate? We beastmen and merfolk are quite special, you know, wouldn't you like to know?"

Lingying, dressed in a sexy, tight-fitting outfit, smiled and sidled up next to her.

"I don't like people who smoke."

Although she was being irresponsible, she still kept a safe distance. Xia Shizhao was too lazy to argue with her. "Didn't you say you wanted to open a half-orc school? How's the preparation going?"

When it came to serious matters, Lingying sat up straight. "Yes, that's right. We have enough funds, but because of many people's prejudice against orcs, not many people are willing to teach those orcs. It has been delayed for a long time, which has left us with no choice but to live like the underworld."

She held a cigarette in her mouth, her beautiful face full of worry. "So what can you do? All the people under me are illiterate, and their children will be illiterate too. It's so frustrating. I can't recruit anyone even with 50,000 a month. The people who come either don't have enough education or skills. Some are so discriminatory that I can't have anyone teach them. The capable ones work for a while and then leave because of the pressure. It's too difficult."

"I have a way. You pay your salary as usual, and I'll provide one bottle of SS-level potion to the teachers every month. Alpha is an SS-level stabilizer, Omega is an energy-boosting potion, and Beta is a recovery potion. This way, more people will come, and you can carefully select who can become your teachers."

"Wow... the conditions are really good. If I didn't dislike children and wasn't not capable enough, I would have become a teacher too," Lingying looked her up and down, her eyes full of curiosity. "I didn't expect you to be a pharmacist. That's amazing. No wonder you dare to risk your life."

When asked about risking his life, Xia Shizhao smiled without answering, took a sip of tea, and said, "So, are you considering a collaboration?"

"Sure, of course we'll go. But what are your conditions? I don't believe in free lunches. Are you really willing to help the orcs?"

“Help me take care of a group of children, one hundred and three unformed half-orcs, and four half-orcs who can change their form.”

The cigarette fell to the ground with a thud, and Lingying asked tremblingly, "You... how many? One hundred and thirty unformed half-orcs? That many? There are less than two thousand half-orcs on Venus! And that includes adult half-orcs!"

"My sister picked them up from various planets..."

Xia Shizhao remained silent.

I don't know why Kiyotsu likes picking up children.

I'll just leave it at that.

She picked up more than a hundred of them; she herself was still a child, and she was raising a whole bunch of them.

Lingying looked dazed and said, "Bring them all over. They can learn from a young age at school and not be illiterate when they grow up, so they can make a good living in society."

"I didn't expect you to be a good person."

After agreeing on the terms, Xia Shizhao stood up to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean?" Lingying sat lazily on the sofa. "How am I not a good person?"

Xia Shizhao waved his hand without answering her.

After leaving the underground racetrack, Xia Shizhao looked at Qingli, who was waiting at the entrance, and asked, "Would you like to go in and meet that older sister?"

"I don't want to have anything to do with that stinky fox," Qingli frowned, sniffed Xia Shizhao's clothes, and bristled, "My clothes smell like her!!!"

Xia Shizhao:?

I sniffed my sleeves in confusion, but there was no smell.

She gently patted her head soothingly, "Little Chestnut, be good. I'll take you to meet her. After all, you'll be spending most of your time with her after I leave Venus."

Qingli, who had been flustered, calmed down in an instant. "Okay, I'll go right away."

He said it through gritted teeth.

Watching her angry retreating figure, Xia Shizhao suddenly worried about Lingying's safety.

After leading the people inside, Lingying looked at the little wolf in front of her and sighed.

It's not really appropriate for a fox like her to live with a wolf.

Xia Shizhao patted Qingli's shoulder with a smile: "My sister is very well-behaved, I'm leaving her in your care."

"Forehead……"

Lingying's lips twitched slightly as she watched Qingli grinning behind her. Given that Xia Shizhao had offered so much, she reluctantly agreed.

"Okay, leave it to me, don't worry."

Xia Shizhao blinked. "Well, I'll go now. I need to go back and see what materials I need to prepare for the preliminary rounds. Qingli, contact your sister if you need anything."

"Um."

Qingli shook her big ears, nodded obediently, and watched Xia Shizhao leave with lingering affection.

"You like your sister that much?"

"Yeah, I would have died long ago if it weren't for her." Qingli's long eyelashes drooped, and her docile aura suddenly turned cold. "Let's talk about school."

"Hmm? Okay."
