Xie Sen did not find the planet that Adam mentioned on the map. After thinking for a moment, he said to himself, "It's not on the map. Is it not recorded?"
A Dan immediately responded: "It's possible. There are countless planets in the universe. It's impossible to record every one of them on the map...ah, what should we do then?"
Xie Sen soothed him, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way... Could it be that it's not on the planet, but floating in the universe?"
"No," said Adam, "I can feel that it has abundant energy and a strong natural atmosphere. It can't be in the universe. It must be on a planet with a lot of plants!"
Xie Sen groaned: "I understand, I will find a way."
"Asen is the best! You will definitely find a way!" Asen said in an encouraging tone.
Xie Sen was amused. He flattered him whenever he encountered trouble. He said, "Don't worry, I will find a way."
"Well, I'll go take a rest first."
Xie Sen stared at the map for a long time, and drew a circle around the star Brandt according to the distance Adam said, but still couldn't find a matching planet.
Just as he was thinking, the phone rang. He took a look and saw it was from Mu Lin. He answered it: "President Mu, what's going on?"
"You forgot, it's been more than a month. You should come for a physical examination." Mu Lin said.
Xie Sen really forgot: "Sorry, I'll go this weekend."
"If you're not busy, come over after get off work in the evening. Gu Luo and I are working overtime tonight, so we have time."
Xie Sen said: "Okay, I'll go there after get off work."
After get off work in the evening, Maine came to pick up Xie Sen on time. Xie Sen was walking towards the parking lot when he received a call from Bai Jiao. As soon as he answered the call, he heard Bai Jiao say, "Asen, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."
Xie Sen thought about it for a moment and understood: "A Teng gave you all the plants?"
Bai Jiao: "Yes, I gave it to you yesterday. I should have treated you to a meal yesterday, but it was already very late when I finished dealing with the plants."
"It's okay," Xie Sen smiled, thinking back to the speed of the last inspection. "I have to go to the Contracted Beast Research Institute now. Things should be settled soon. Can we meet later?"
Since he came here, there have been very few gatherings with friends like this, and he doesn't want to miss it.
"No problem, I'll send you the restaurant address later." Bai Jiao said.
Xie Sen hung up the phone and walked to the parking lot. He looked up and saw Maine striding towards him. He smiled and the message notification sounded from his bracelet. He saved the message.
Maine walked up to him, put his arm around his waist, bent down and kissed him on the lips, and led him to the shuttle: "Is everything going well?"
"It went smoothly. Let's go to the Contracted Beast Research Institute first, and then have dinner with Bai Jiao."
Maine frowned, opened the shuttle door and let Xie Sen get in. He walked around to the other side and sat in the driver's seat. He turned sideways and half pressed Xie Sen, with his hand on his shoulder: "Why do you want to eat with him? I just want to eat with you at home."
Xie Sen looked up at him helplessly: "Bai Jiao is our friend, it is normal for us to have dinner together, we all need to socialize."
"I don't need it," Maine pinched his chin with her fingers, "I don't have any friends, and I don't want any friends, I just want you."
Xie Sen grabbed his hand and looked him in the eye: "What you need, you admire Long Teng and Bai Jiao, you actually already regard them as friends, otherwise you wouldn't act together again and again. You just don't want to admit that they are friends, afraid that they will eventually betray or leave for various reasons. You are just afraid of getting hurt, so you keep people at a distance."
Maine's eyes trembled suddenly, and his voice was hard: "I'm not!"
Xie Sen deeply felt that Maine had many psychological problems. Seeing his ugly face, his heart felt sore and painful. Maine's childhood experiences had a profound impact on him.
He noticed that Maine's body was tense, and seeing that he unconsciously showed a defensive look, he raised his head and bit Maine's lips gently: "Relax, you don't have to be afraid at all. Don't stop making friends because you are afraid of losing them. No matter what, I will be with you."
Maine hugged him tightly: "You will always be with me."
"Yeah." Xie Sen hugged him back.
Maine was silent for a moment: "I will try to make friends."
Xie Sen smiled and patted his shoulder: "That's great, let's go to the Contracted Beast Research Institute. If you delay any longer, Bai Jiao will have to wait for a long time."
Maine kissed him before releasing him, setting the route and starting the shuttle.
The shuttle soon landed at the parking lot of the research institute. Mu Lin's assistant Gu Luo personally took them to the physical examination. Gu Luo smiled at Xie Sen and said, "Don't be nervous. It will be over soon, just like last time."
Xie Sen nodded and lay down in the examination cabin.
After a while, he heard Gu Luo say, "Okay."
Maine bent down and carried him out of the examination cabin. His face turned slightly red and he patted Maine's arm. Maine glanced at his slightly red ears and put him down, but still held him in his arms.
Gu Luo looked down at the test results. He read them very quickly and was surprised after reading them: "I can't believe it. After just over a month, your body has improved so much!"
Xie Sen still remembered what A Dan said, and knew that his physical improvement was due to the two types of energy he recycled. He smiled and said, "Maybe my mentality is better now. I was... more depressed before."
Gu Luo glanced at Maine and smiled, "It seems that love can really nourish people."
"Really?" Mu Lin walked in from outside, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Gu Luo with deep eyes. Gu Luo looked at him, then quickly looked away and said to Xie Sen, "You are in very good health. You don't need to worry about the taboos I told you before - just pay attention to safety measures."
Xie Sen blinked his eyes, thinking back to the taboos he mentioned, one of which was - no sex. Some unspeakable images suddenly flashed through his mind. He suddenly felt Maine's hand around his waist particularly clearly, and his heartbeat uncontrollably quickened.
Maine's eyes changed slightly. Taboo? Safety measures? He looked down at Xie Sen and saw that his face was red. He was moved and unconsciously hugged Xie Sen tighter.
Xie Sen's mind was filled with images that were not suitable for children. He felt guilty and did not dare to turn his head to look at him when he noticed his movements. He quickly greeted Mu Lin: "Dean Mu."
Mu Lin walked over to Gu Luo to look at the test results: "The speed of recovery is amazing, did you take any special medicine or anything else?"
Xie Sen shook his head: "No, like I just said, it's mainly a change in mentality. Although depression is a psychological problem, it can also affect the body."
Mu Lin thought: "The change is too big, maybe it has something to do with you being a plant beast master."
Gu Luo continued, "It's possible." He smiled at Xie Sen, "Thank you for cooperating with our work. This is of great help to our research on plant beast masters. I will look for more information about plant beast masters and compare it with your situation. I will trouble you to come again in a month."
"Well, I'll come in a month then." He said goodbye to the two.
Gu Luo said: "Wait." He glanced at Maine, then at Xie Sen, "Can I talk to you alone?"
Maine frowned. Xie Sen was very curious and had no idea what he would say. He asked Maine to wait and followed Gu Luo to the outside of the examination room.
Gu Luo took him to a corner, where he could see that there was no one around, and asked Xie Sen in a low voice, "Do you know your identity?"
Xie Sen was confused. A bunch of drama suddenly flashed through his mind, which immediately shocked him. He didn't believe that life could be so ridiculous: "What identity? Of course I know my identity."
Gu Luo murmured, "As expected, if you didn't know you were a female, how could you be with Maine, who is a male, as a male."
"Wait," Xie Sen was confused. "Assistant Gu, I don't understand what you are saying. What do you mean by 'what if I don't know I'm a female?' I'm a male!"
Gu Luo looked at him in surprise: "Male? You still think you are a male? Maine knows that too?"
"That's who I am, not what I thought I was!" Xie Sen suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy, and his tone became heavier, as if this was more convincing and true, "Of course Maine knows."
"You...so you two males are in love?" Gu Luo asked.
"Isn't this obvious?" Xie Sen thought that Gu Luo should change his name to Weiguai, "You are a little weird..."
Gu Luo looked dazed for a moment: "I'm sorry, but haven't you ever thought that males together can't have offspring? Even if artificial insemination is possible, it will be different from your own children, right?"
Xie Sen was speechless: "What's there to think about? If you don't have children, you can just live together. If you like children, you can adopt them. Artificial insemination as you mentioned is also fine."
Gu Luo looked at him, then at himself, his expression dim, and murmured, "We are different. You are soft and petite. Even if you are mistaken for a male, you are still different from a hard male like me."
Xie Sen's mouth twitched and he sighed: "Assistant Gu, why do you always say it's a misunderstanding? And I'm not happy to hear your comparison. As a male, it's weird for you to compare like this, as if... you're concerned about not being soft enough."
At this point, he suddenly realized something: "Do you like a male?" Thinking of this, Gu Luo's previous behavior was explained. He said with a smile, "Are you still a man? If you like her, chase her. Don't waste time. It's a different era now. You're still thinking about your offspring. If you like her, you like her. Gender has nothing to do with it."
Gu Luo lowered his head and thought for a moment: "You are right, but I... I am afraid that he will regret not marrying a soft and fertile female."
Xie Sen thought, does the surname Gu mean that one’s thoughts are so old-fashioned?
"What are you afraid of? If that's the case, just break up. Can't you live without him? Aren't you living a good life alone now? Besides, this is only the worst outcome. If you like someone, you should at least have some confidence in him, right?"
Gu Luo's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized, "Yes, you are right, thank you, I know what to do now."
He turned around quickly, took two steps, thought of something, and said, "I'm sorry, you were in such a bad condition last time, and we were worried that your mood swings would be bad for your health, so we didn't tell you the truth. The reason why I always say that you think you are a female is because - you are a female."
Xie Sen stood there in shock, feeling his ears ringing.
After Gu Luo finished speaking, he rushed to the examination room and soon came out pulling Mu Lin, who looked surprised.
Xie Sen still had a shocked expression with his mouth slightly open. He must have been hallucinating, or Gu Luo must have said something wrong, or was joking with him!
"Asen?" Maine waved his hand in front of his eyes, looking worried. "What's wrong? What did Gu Luo do to you?" The word "what" already carried a chilling tone.
Xie Sen came back to his senses and forced a smile: "It's okay." He wiped his face and thought to himself, how could this be possible? How could he be female? "Let's go to the restaurant."
As soon as the two entered the restaurant, they saw Long Teng standing in the corner on the right, leaning against the wall, waving at them with a bright smile: "This..." His voice stopped abruptly and he looked to the lower left.
Xie Sen smiled. He saw that Long Teng's clothes were torn and knew at a glance that it was Bai Jiao who stopped him from shouting in time.
He and Maine walked over and sat opposite Long Teng and Bai Jiao. Bai Jiao handed the menu to Xie Sen: "We've already ordered, what do you want to eat?"
Xie Sen looked at the food on the menu and missed the small restaurant at the back door of the school madly. He used to complain about the small restaurant having few dishes, but when he saw the menu here, he realized what "small" meant.
The first time he entered the restaurant, he was a bit intimidated. At first glance, the menu was full and he thought there were many types of food, but in fact, they were all the same. Food was divided into two categories, grilled or boiled meat. The reason why the menu was full was because there were many types of meat, including countless birds and beasts.
He ordered a grilled fish and gave the menu to Maine, who didn't even look at it and directly ordered a grilled meat.
Bai Jiao asked the waiter to pour four cups of water and looked at Xie Sen: "I heard from Ateng that you were arrested. Are you okay?"
Xie Sen raised his hand, bent his arm, and patted his biceps, which had no curve at all. "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"
Bai Jiao laughed: "I'm glad you're okay." He took out a small spray bottle as thick as a finger and handed it to him, "This is the new mystery-causing agent I developed. You can use it when you encounter danger. Just splash water on it and it will dispel it."
Xie Sen took it with surprise, looked at it and put it in his space backpack: "You are awesome!"
Long Teng said excitedly: "Really? I stayed at his house for a day and saw many plants and medicines. I also think he is amazing!"
Bai Jiao said modestly: "Many prescriptions are passed down from my family. I just follow them."
Xie Sen's thoughts turned, and he remembered that Bai Jiao was born into a medical family, so he asked in a low voice: "Has your family ever researched medicine related to contracted beasts?"
"Yes," Bai Jiao said, "We have thoroughly researched the trauma medicine for contracted beasts. We are now mainly researching the mental tranquilizer for contracted beasts. Contracted beasts are very powerful in combat, but their mental state is easily unstable. It's OK if the beast master is alive. If the beast master is in trouble, it's easy for him to go crazy and cause tragedy. This kind of thing has happened many times in historical wars."
Xie Sen asked: "Have you researched medicine that can dissolve the bond between a contracted beast and its master?"
Bai Jiao looked at him in surprise, and nodded after a moment of silence. He said softly, "This is a research not for the public. Exposure will cause panic among many people who have made contracts. The purpose of researching this medicine is to save the life of one party in the contract if the other party dies."
Xie Sen's eyes lit up: "Yes, this medicine is really too important. Now it can also be used on people who force contracted beasts to form a bond, to rescue the contracted beasts."
Bai Jiao sighed: "Yes, but there is also a worrying side. If it is used by someone to voluntarily form a bond between two parties, it will cause tragedy."
Xie Sen held his chin up and said, "Logically speaking, the synchronization rate between the two parties who voluntarily form a contract is high, and the contract must be more stable than that of those who are forced to form a contract. The effect of the medicine on them should also be different!"
Bai Jiao smiled and said, "I even suspect that you are involved in the research. This is the current research direction. After years of research, the medicine to break the contract has only a rough prototype. There are still many problems to be solved."
He sighed, "There are too few herbs in the world today. Although our ancestors used various methods to preserve the seeds, my family has tried many methods but failed to promote their growth. Many herbs needed for the contract-breaking medicine are replaced with animal herbs with similar medicinal properties, which affects the efficacy of the medicine."
Xie Sen thought, after all the energy was collected, all kinds of plants could be planted, and medicinal herbs could naturally be planted as well!
He said, "Haven't you collected a lot of medicinal herbs recently? This is a good start, and things will get better and better!"
Bai Jiao's eyes were bright, and he tucked the white hair that fell on the side of his face behind his ears: "You are right, things will get better and better." He smiled, "By the way, these medicinal herbs were discovered thanks to you. Next time you go, you must tell me where you are going. I want to go with you to look for medicinal herbs."
"Haha, I also told Arsen that you must take me with you next time you go. I want to go on an adventure!" Long Teng said with a smile.
Xie Sen thought about the next place he was going to, and sighed worriedly: "There is a place I want to go, but I haven't found a way to get there yet."
"Huh? Where is it?" Long Teng stretched his neck and asked curiously.
Xie Sen simply opened the interstellar map, laid the virtual screen flat, and clicked on the mark he had made according to the location Adam said: "The destination planet is here, but it may be too small to be marked on the map."
Maine turned his head and asked, "When did you sense it?"
Xie Sen smiled at him and said, "In the afternoon, I was going to tell you when I got home in the evening. I just happened to talk about it."
Bai Jiao was puzzled: "Sense?"
Xie Sen smiled: "This is hard to explain. It has something to do with my beast mark."
Bai Jiao nodded. Long Teng stared at the map for a long time, raised his hand and pointed at the big planet not far away next to Xie Sen's mark: "I've been here for a trip. This is Bruce Star. There's a lot of water there. It's fun!"
Xie Sen's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Have you seen any planets when you passed this area?"
Long Teng touched the back of his head and smiled: "I don't remember, I went there two years ago. I have been to many places with my father and dad. I might have been sleeping at that time."
Xie Sen was helpless: "Looks like I need to ask the observatory for help and use a telescope to observe it."
"We can go there by ourselves. We'll know when we get there, right?" Long Teng's eyes sparkled. "It's more interesting to explore this way, isn't it?"
Maine looked at him and said, "If you don't set a good route, you will get lost in the universe."
"Is that so?" Long Teng rolled his eyes. "Then I'll ask my father. He was the one who drove the spaceship to Blue Star. He might have some impression of the area nearby."
"Your father can also fly a spaceship?" Xie Sen was surprised. In his opinion, flying a spaceship requires extremely high skills and is extremely advanced.
"Of course, he's very good. He taught me how to fly a spaceship." Long Teng raised his eyebrows proudly. As he spoke, he opened his bracelet to contact Long Yu. Long Yu answered the call very quickly. "What's the matter, little brat?"
Long Teng had already gotten used to his father's nickname, so he asked directly, "Father, we went to Bruce two years ago. Are there any small planets near Bruce?"
"Are you trying to make fun of me? I can't even count the number of planets I've visited in a year on one hand. How could I possibly remember some small planets?"
Long Teng muttered, "Father has a very bad memory."
"You..." Long Yu was about to teach his son a lesson when he suddenly stopped. Then An Ming's gentle voice came from the other side, "A Teng, are you talking about the area near Bruce Star?"
"Yes, Dad!"
An Ming said, "Wait a moment, I'll look through the photo album from two years ago." He smiled, "When I traveled with you, I took photos along the way as a souvenir, so there should be relevant photos."
"Baby/Daddy, you are so nice." Long Yu and Long Teng said at the same time.
"You little brat, your father is mine, stop bothering us." Long Yu warned, and An Ming reminded him, "Yu, I told you to be gentle with your son."
Long Teng smiled brightly: "Father and dad are both fine."
Long Yu snorted with pride, and An Ming chuckled. After a while, he said, "We found it. Wow, it's still very beautiful now. There are three small planets of different colors. I'll send you the photos."
The message notification sound came immediately, and Long Teng said, "Thank you, Dad."
An Ming asked: "Why are you looking for these planets?"
"I want to go there!" Long Teng said excitedly, "It will definitely be fun to go with Asen!"
Long Yu said: "Don't make trouble, there is no public spaceship station there."
"I can fly a spaceship. You taught me yourself, father!" Long Teng was not worried at all.
Long Yu said seriously, "It takes at least four days to get there from Brant Star. There is no set route. You can take the route of Bruce Star and adjust it according to the actual position nearby to reach the destination. But can you do it? Can you drive for four consecutive days by yourself? It's not fun to have an accident in the universe. You are not allowed to go."
Sen couldn't help but frowning when he heard this. The place where the wood energy is located is not easy to reach. It seems that he might have to ask a spaceship pilot for help.
Long Teng pouted: "Father! I want to go, I will go, I must go, I will calculate the route, as for the pilot, you must have a way, right? Just one person can replace me in driving, father, you are the best!"
Long Yu laughed and scolded: "Who did you learn this pestering skill from? I never saw your father pestering me... Hey, baby, don't hit me..."
An Ming said: "A Teng, we will arrange for someone suitable to go with you. When you go home tomorrow, I will check whether you can really calculate the route and test your ability to fly the spacecraft. If you fail, my words just now will be invalid and you are not allowed to go."
"Don't worry, Dad. I'm super awesome!" Long Teng said, "I'll be back tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Long Teng clicked on the photo sent by An Ming. The most eye-catching thing in the photo was a blue planet, Blue, and in front of it were three small planets.
"Arsen, which one are you talking about?"
Xie Sen looked at the small planets of different colors and pointed to the nearest green planet. He remembered that Adam said it was a planet with a lot of plants. "It should be this one, but I'm not completely sure."
Long Teng said: "Then we will go to this one first, and we can change the route temporarily."
The four of them finished their dinner together and went home.
