Chapter 38 Ex-husband and Current Family Reunion
The black market on the Garbage Planet is famous mainly for its chaotic public security. People from different planets will go to the Garbage Planet specifically to trade in order to avoid being hunted down by the star police.
Star rock is a very good insulation material, and white star rock has better insulation ability than ordinary star rock.
Omeg pheromones can cause insect riots and trigger insect tides. As long as the mecha is coated with white star rock, the pheromone can be isolated.
This was Shen Zhi's idea, and he didn't know what the specific outcome would be.
Shen Zhi still had great enthusiasm for White Star Rock and came to the garbage planet despite the long journey.
After dinner, Zhuang You took Shen Zhi to Peteryou, the largest trading place on Garbage Planet, which includes but is not limited to rare materials, illegal drugs, and omegas.
"We do have White Star Rock, but the price is a problem." The middle-aged Beta who was doing the deal said, his brows full of shrewd calculations, "I want a 40% commission."
Shen Zhi had never thought that the garbage planet really existed. In fact, White Star Rock had a special effect of suppressing omega estrus. It was not the usual omega injection that suppressed estrus, but it isolated the omega glands and prevented them from releasing prohibited materials.
It is not a chemical action that balances the hormones in the glands, but a physical action, which is equivalent to sticking an absorbent plastic film on the mouth and nose, which is very painful.
The Empire has banned the sale of White Star Rock, which is against the health of omegas, but many dignitaries will secretly buy it to torture omegas for fun.
The businessman thought Shen Zhi was also using it in this way. "You only need to buy five grams. Use your fingernails to scrape off a thin layer of powder and apply it on the glands to start working. Five grams is enough for twenty to thirty omegas. A 40% benefit is actually not much."
The businessman gestured a number.
Shen Zhi looked at it and found that it was within the acceptable range. He had enough money. "Okay, but I want 700 grams."
The internal coating requires a large amount of paint, and Shen Zhi is not sure whether it can be successful in one go, so he plans to buy more as a backup.
The businessman had met many big clients, but never one as big as this. He trembled and asked, "Are you going to drug all the omegas in the city?"
"…no."
The businessman had seen the Xingdu police enforcing fishing laws, and he now wondered if the so-called "big customer" in front of him was also one of them in disguise.
"What exactly are you going to use it for?" the merchant said anxiously. "If you don't tell me clearly, I won't sell it to you."
Shen Zhi didn't understand why the person who was laughing and talking just now suddenly changed his tone, and looked at Zhuang You beside him for help.
Zhuang You sensed Shen Zhi's gaze and said in a deep voice, "One hand hands over the money and the other hand hands over the goods. The black market never asks for the purpose. Don't break the rules."
The businessman was hesitant, he was reluctant to give up this big order. From the tall man's tone, it seemed that he was very familiar with the black market. He let down his guard a little, but he didn't dare to take the risk. It would definitely not be worth it to fall into the law because of this order.
"As long as you tell me what you're going to use it for, I can promise not to tell anyone else," the businessman added, "I'm the only one in the entire black market who has such a large amount of White Star Rock, and I can even get more."
Shen Zhi pulled Zhuang You's sleeve, signaling him not to act rashly.
Zhuang You closed his eyes, his neat sleeves were wrinkled by Shen Zhi's slender fingers, bringing barely perceptible resistance.
"It's for insulation materials," Shen Zhi said, and if he said more, he would risk exposing himself.
Shen Zhi didn't expect that just a few words would put the merchant's doubts to rest. Since 700 grams were not available all at once, he could find a few more people to share. 400 to 500 grams would be enough.
Unexpectedly, the merchant agreed, "Okay, I'll sell it to you."
Shen Zhi was very happy and waited for the merchant to prepare the White Star Rock. "Zhuang You, I am so lucky today. I didn't expect that I could buy the White Star Rock so easily."
Zhuang You glanced at Shen Zhili and said "hmm" calmly.
He had seen too many businessmen in the black market who would rather fail to make a deal than to protect themselves. Today, this one started out with such a tough attitude that Zhuang You thought he couldn't buy the White Star Rock, but changed his attitude after Shen Zhi spoke, which was thought-provoking.
"Young Master, please wait for me here for a while. I'll be back soon," Zhuang You told Shen Zhi. Objectively speaking, as a big customer, Shen Zhi was safe here.
Shen Zhi was immersed in joy and nodded readily.
Zhuang You stared at Shen Zhi, and after making sure that he had no reluctance to leave, he left in a hurry.
Shen Zhi waited for a while, and a moment later the merchant came back with a sealed box. Shen Zhi was the only one left in the room. She asked curiously, "Where is your husband?"
"He is not my husband," Shen Zhizhen corrected him, "He left earlier because of something."
The businessman laughed, "I saw that he never took his eyes off you, so I thought you two were a couple."
Shen Zhi touched his belly and was not surprised. Zhuang You had always been nervous about the baby in his belly.
The merchant handed the box to Shen Zhi for inspection.
Shen Zhi paid the money promptly. The composition of White Star Rock is very good, and the black market on the garbage planet should not be underestimated.
Shen Zhi was about to leave when the merchant stopped him and said, "If you pay an extra 500,000 star coins, I can give you a book as a gift."
It is not worth spending half a million to buy this book. Shen Zhi stopped at this moment. How could someone who owns such a large amount of White Star Rock have such a book that can be priced so high?
Seeing Shen Zhi's interest, the businessman did not take out the book immediately, but asked: "You use white star rock as insulation material, are you going to paint the inner layer of the mecha?"
Shen Zhi's expression changed slightly, "How do you know?"
The merchant knew he was right when he saw Shen Zhi's change. "The founding princess Amelia was also an omega. She sneaked into the Zerg tribe alone and fought bloody battles with her Ina mecha in order to rescue the monarch. She waited until her brother arrived with reinforcements."
"Countless people admire Princess Amelia for her wisdom and courage as an omega. Few people know that Princess Amelia was in estrus at the time, and the Zerg did not riot at that time."
Shen Zhi looked awestruck. He knew this fact for sure, and it was for this reason that he came up with the idea of creating an omega combat mecha.
But why do the black market traders on Garbage Planet also know this so well?
The businessman smiled but said nothing. He took out an incomplete book and said, "This is a mecha design guide written by Princess Amelia. It contains what you want."
Shen Zhi's eyes were fixed on the name of the book. He had half a mecha design guide in his hand. He had searched for it with great difficulty, but he didn't expect to find it in such a place.
"Five hundred thousand, I'll buy it." Shen Zhi wanted to take it back immediately and complete the two incomplete books.
The businessman smiled slightly, and he knew he had found the right person.
Shen Zhi turned on his computer. The star coins he brought today were only enough to pay for the White Star Rock, but it was still short of enough to buy the books.
Shen Zhi sent a message to Li Lansheng, but there was no reply for more than ten minutes, and no one knew what he was busy with.
Shen Zhi decided to go out and find Zhuang You to ask him to borrow some money.
The transaction took place in a private room with a long corridor outside. All kinds of messy pheromones were intertwined together, making Shen Zhi feel a little nauseous.
The most traded species on the junk planet is actually Omega.
Shen Zhi had no intention of caring about it, nor could he. The products derived from the corruption of the empire were not something he could solve alone.
When passing by a private room, the door made a loud noise, like something heavy hitting it. Shen Zhi's toes paused slightly, and a crack appeared in the door, and a blood-stained hand stretched out.
Shen Zhi pursed his lips and watched coldly as the person inside slowly climbed out. The blood on his forehead had already flowed all over his face. From time to time, the furious voice of the alpha could be heard from inside.
The omega, who had lost too much blood, was no longer able to call for help and could only flee based on his instinct for survival.
Shen Zhi frowned, but before he could say anything, the door was opened and the sound of Alph blowing in his face made Shen Zhi feel sick.
Shen Zhi looked up, his pupils shrank. He knew this man.
"Why are you running? I paid you to do a little experiment." Li Chaosheng said unexpectedly, "You are not even as expensive as the bottle of medicine. You won't kill anyone."
Li Chaosheng spoke in a nonchalant tone, not caring about human life at all.
Shen Zhi had met Li Chaosheng before. Although he seldom met Li Lansheng's family after marrying him, Li Chaosheng left a great impression on him.
All bad memories.
Although Li Chaosheng is a 2S-level alpha, which is good enough, he is far inferior to his brother.
Li Chaosheng fought hard and was outstanding. Without the help of Li Lansheng, he was promoted to major general in less than two years by virtue of his ruthless tactics on the battlefield.
The reason he came to the Garbage Planet this time was to prepare to marry the third prince. Although his talent and ability were not as good as his brother's, he could at least marry a wife who could compare with him. After all, what was a 3S-level alpha? In the end, he still married a beta who got to the top by using pregnancy as a prey.
The rivals for marrying the third prince were too strong, and Li Chaosheng could not guarantee his victory, so he bought a test agent that could make an omega pregnant, intending to make the marriage a fait accompli with the third prince.
He, a 2S-level alpha, is more than a match for an S-level omega.
Li Chaosheng grabbed the hair of the nearly unconscious omega and dragged him back. At this time, he noticed Shen Zhi who had not left yet. His eyes glanced over Shen Zhi's belly with a playful look, "A pregnant omega?"
Li Chaosheng loosened his hand, and the paralyzed omega hit the floor with a teeth-grinding sound. He could just take a look at what a pregnant omega looked like, and see if the drug that made the omega pregnant was real.
In fact, he wanted to see his pregnant sister-in-law more. It was rare for a Beta to be pregnant, and he was particularly curious. However, his brother and the Zhuangyou were too strict, so he didn't know where to start.
Li Chaosheng twitched his nose, but he didn't smell any pheromones from the person in front of him. He wondered if it was because of the protective suit.
"You're not a pregnant beta, are you?" Li Chao stared at Shen Zhi with his vicious eyes and asked tentatively.
Shen Zhi shuddered due to the strong pheromones on Li Chaosheng's body.
Li Chaosheng noticed something was wrong and put on a charming smile. He quickly tore off the clothes of the person in front of him, with such a large amplitude that the person staggered.
Li Chaosheng half hugged the man who was about to fall, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Shen Zhi's shocked face and said quietly: "Sister-in-law, my brother is missing, which wild man are you hanging out with?"
Shen Zhi stood up and pushed Li Chaosheng, "It has nothing to do with you."
Li Chaosheng is three points similar to Li Lansheng, but when Li Chaosheng has no expression on his face, the resemblance becomes five points. Shen Zhi looked at Li Chaosheng's face and was in a trance for a rare moment.
Until Li Chaosheng sneered: "Sister-in-law, who are you looking at through me?"
"No," Shen Zhi lowered his eyelashes. It was obviously not a wise move to insist on a stalemate with Li Chaosheng. Shen Zhi was about to leave, but Li Chaosheng grabbed his wrist.
"Sister-in-law, since you are here, I will keep an eye on you for my brother." Li Chaosheng ignored Shen Zhi's reluctance and forcibly pulled Shen Zhi into the private room, "to prevent you from flirting with other alphas and cuckolding my brother."
Shen Zhi stumbled along the way and was thrown onto a chair by Li Chaosheng. The pain made Shen Zhi's face turn pale.
Li Chaosheng crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows, "Sister-in-law, does it hurt so much? You are exaggerating."
Shen Zhi was really in pain; his skin was tender and easily bruised.
Shen Zhi covered his stomach, sweat dripping down his forehead. Li Chaosheng also noticed something was wrong and leaned over slightly: "Do you have a stomachache?"
Shen Zhi uttered an imperceptible "hmm" sound.
Li Chaosheng hated his brother, but he would not kill his brother's only child. Li Chaosheng half-knelt down and put his palms on Shen Zhi's soft belly. The touch was soft, as if sinking into a cotton ball.
Li Chaosheng's arms were a little stiff, "Sister-in-law, where does it hurt?"
Shen Zhi glanced at him, his eyes red with tears, and complained aggrievedly and pitifully: "Your pheromones are too strong, I feel uncomfortable."
Li Chaosheng suddenly realized that what was in Shen Zhi's belly was still Li Lansheng's pheromones, and Shen Zhi was a beta without pheromones and could not balance the external pheromones for the baby in her belly.
Other alpha pheromones are easily repelled by his brother's pheromones. No wonder Shen Zhi feels so uncomfortable.
Li Chaosheng is now in a semi-susceptible period in order to test the drug that makes the omega pregnant. He is in a controllable state, which means that it will take at least half an hour for the pheromones to be completely recovered.
"Sister-in-law, please bear with it for now. I will take you back to Xingdu later." Li Chaosheng couldn't think of any solution, so he had to let Shen Zhi suffer.
Shen Zhi's eyelashes trembled, and he whispered, "I have a way, do you want to try it?"
Li Chaosheng raised his eyebrows with interest. Wow, my sister-in-law has these weird tricks. No wonder a beta can get pregnant with his brother's child.
"You say."
Shen Zhichong waved to Li Chaosheng, "Then... come over here first."
Li Chaosheng didn't think much about it, he half-knelt with his head tilted towards Shen Zhi.
He didn't take a beta seriously.
Shen Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the back of Li Chaosheng's neck, and Luo Su's words suddenly came to his mind. Damaging an alpha's gland would cause a temporary disorder in his pheromones, and in more serious cases, the alpha would suffer from a lifelong disability.
Li Chaosheng felt Shen Zhi's faint breathing on the back of his neck, as light as a feather, which caused him to shudder. Then, the cool and soft fingertips fell on his shoulder.
Li Chaosheng stared at Shen Zhiguang's jade-like profile and curled his lips slowly. If his sister-in-law wanted to develop some forbidden love, he would refuse. After all, he was not so shameless as to be naked with his little nephew.
"What are you doing?" The door of the private room was pushed open, and standing outside was Zhuang You, staring at Shen Zhi and Li Chaosheng with a gloomy face as they were in an ambiguous posture.
