Chapter 50 Xiaoqi
Ripple Galaxy
Main Star Chengtong Star
A month later, Huo Qi, Mu Jiao and their group finally completed their herb-gathering mission and returned to Chengtong Star. Chengtong Star did not disappoint Mu Jiao, and they gained a lot from this trip.
Because there are many kinds of herbs picked this time, especially common herbs, and the quantity is quite large, it takes quite a lot of effort to prepare the herbs, and Mu Jiao definitely cannot do it alone.
In order to relieve Mu Jiao's pressure and prepare the herbs he brought back as soon as possible, Huo Qi specially found ten trained servants to help Mu Jiao.
The chief steward said that these servants were slaves trained by her personally, so they would never leak this matter.
The Butler was also the fourth person to know that they were conducting an experiment on Hochi's genetic collapse disorder.
Mu Jiao also understood that their experiment was still ongoing and could not be leaked casually. Although she felt a little uncomfortable with using slaves, she could not refuse Huo Qi's arrangement. After all, this matter was not the time to be exposed. Everything was still an experiment...
…
Rooftop terrace of the villa
Led by the chief steward, ten servants came in, five men and five women, all looking young and healthy.
Mu Jiao opened the space button and placed the collected herbs on the ground. These herbs were packed in wooden boxes, which Mu Jiao had classified during the collection process.
These ten attendants were well-trained, and even more remarkable was their quick learning. Mu Jiao gave them some common, simple-to-cook herbs to clean, and then demonstrated how to prepare over twenty common herbs. After working with them for a whole day, occasionally providing guidance and corrections as they progressed, these ten men made significant progress, gradually becoming more proficient.
Among the ten people, there was a girl named Xiaoqi who caught Mu Jiao's attention because she learned very quickly. Mu Jiao also taught her some other methods of preparing herbs.
Xiaoqi was intelligent and had strong hands-on skills. Furthermore, unlike the others, she was taciturn and often asked Mujiao about herbal medicine preparation. After ten days or so of practice, when the preparation of the herbs was almost complete, Mujiao and Xiaoqi gradually became familiar with each other...
Xiaoqi is an orc with raccoon genes. She has no father or mother and is an orphan. She has been a slave since childhood and has been displaced.
Mu Jiao had long noticed that Xiao Qi's eyes were different from others, but it turned out that she was an orc.
Mu Jiao had learned about the Orcs from historical records, but Xiao Qi was the first Orc she had actually come into contact with.
The appearance of orcs is actually not much different from that of humans, except that the pupils of some orcs are different from those of humans.
The status of the Orcs in the interstellar world is very low, and neither the Federation nor the Empire will grant them legal citizenship. Therefore, most of the Orcs are forced to become slaves without personal freedom, and their life and death are controlled by the buyers.
However, unexpectedly, Xiaoqi was actually an orc, and she had suffered a lot since childhood. Mu Jiao looked at the girl in front of her with a bright smile and sighed in her heart.
I thought her life story was quite miserable, but unexpectedly, the life story of the girl in front of me was even more miserable.
"Master Mu Jiao, will you...will you look down on me? Although I am an orc, I..." Xiao Qi looked at Mu Jiao with some concern and asked, with a hint of trembling and uneasiness in her voice.
"No, I don't mean to look down on you. I just feel sorry for you. You must have suffered a lot in the past." Mu Jiao heard her somewhat flustered explanation and hurried to comfort her.
"Feeling sorry... for me?!" Xiaoqi's eyes widened slightly with a look of disbelief.
"Yes, I am also an orphan. Why should I look down on you?"
"But I... am an orc."
"What's wrong with the orcs? I've read some extracurricular historical materials from the Federation, and they say that every orc is a natural-born warrior. Their ancestors made significant contributions to humanity's development of interstellar space. The fact that humans now have such a vast living space is largely due to the orcs' contributions," Mu Jiao said. Some achievements, even if recorded vaguely in the official history of the Federation, are indelible. While the victors are kings and the losers are bandits, after many years, history will still see its fair share.
The reason why the orcs declined is simply...
