Lin Huanyan had been startled by the courier delivery yesterday and felt as though someone was watching her while she slept, leaving her sleepless all night.
When the alarm rang several times in the morning, she barely managed to wake up, forced herself to clock in at the lab, and then returned home to sleep again.
She slept until nearly noon before dragging herself out of bed.
Taking a moment to check on the little ones she had neglected all morning, she saw two tiny pink bundles, recently fed by the robot, with their round little bellies rising and falling as they slept soundly in their cozy nest.
The sight warmed Lin Huanyan’s heart.
After changing into her white lab coat, Lin Huanyan headed to the lab to begin her work for the day.
First, she examined the stone flower she had unboxed yesterday. Its vibrant colors made it look lively, though it might have been too soon to see any real changes.
Next, she turned to unpacking today’s deliveries. There were three packages, already placed on the shelf next to the workstation by the robot. They were quite large, taking up most of the shelf space.
She pulled down the top one, wrapped in a black plastic bag, and carefully cut along the edges with a knife to avoid damaging the contents.
Inside was a transparent plastic-wrapped, milky-white lace-like material. When Lin Huanyan unfolded it, she discovered it was an intricately cut ins-style curtain.
Without hesitation, Lin Huanyan took the curtain and the robot to the large living room.
After comparing the dimensions, she found it slightly oversized but manageable with some alterations. She immediately instructed the robot to modify and install it.
The milky-white lace curtain fell gracefully by the window, enhancing the living room’s décor.
Pleased with her progress, Lin Huanyan clapped her hands and returned to the lab to continue unboxing.
The next package was a yellow corrugated box that felt heavy in her hands, weighing her arms down.
Unlike the plastic bag, the cardboard box was easier to open. Lin Huanyan slid the knife in a strategic spot, and the box popped open, revealing a white foam container sealed with yellow tape.
“Oh, it’s fragile.” With the growing popularity of online shopping, couriers handled increasing volumes of packages. Delivery stations kept expanding, and staff workloads grew heavier, often leading to rough handling.
To combat this, various protective measures like foam containers became common.
Looking at the foam box tightly wrapped in layers of tape, Lin Huanyan carefully made a slit with her knife and peeled off the tape bit by bit.
Her patience paid off. After much effort, she finally opened the foam box.
“Let’s see what you really are!” Lin Huanyan exclaimed, pulling off the lid.
Inside was a green, striped, oval-shaped object—round and adorable.
It was a watermelon!
Thrilled, Lin Huanyan couldn’t help but imagine its refreshing, sweet red flesh. Her mouth watered at the thought of enjoying it chilled. She immediately instructed the robot to place the watermelon in the fridge.
Because chilled watermelon is the perfect treat!
Finally, there was the last package, a red woven plastic bag that was several times larger than the previous ones, bulging with its contents.
Lin Huanyan pressed down on the opening and carefully unraveled the white stitching at the top. With a firm tug, the bag split open.
She grabbed the bag’s end and shook it vigorously until the contents finally fell out.
Inside was a white vacuum-packed plush toy.
Lin Huanyan decided not to open it in the lab. She had seen online videos where plush toys suddenly expanded after being unwrapped, startling the person unboxing them.
Lin Huanyan weighed the plush toy in her hands, thinking that it would look even scarier once it expanded.
She hurriedly wrote in her notebook: A plush toy made of fabric and cotton, looking very cute.
Then, she dragged it to the large living room in the residential area, the room with the largest floor space in the entire space station.
She placed the bag on the floor, worried that a knife might tear the toy inside, so she directly tore open a hole with her hands and quickly jumped to the side to observe.
The tightly packed toy rapidly expanded, growing taller and bigger.
Soon, a cute white bear dressed in dark blue overalls appeared.
Lin Huanyan took a few steps closer and then realized that the bear, sitting there, was actually a head taller than her. She was glad she hadn’t opened it in the lab.
She looked around the somewhat empty, yet beginning to have character, living room and thought for a moment before dragging the white bear over to the lace curtains she had hung earlier.
Surprisingly, the combination looked quite harmonious.
Noticing that the living room still felt a bit empty, she checked online for custom-made furniture, and the shop responded that they were already in production.
After finishing her work, Lin Huanyan decided to lie on the sofa and start browsing the star network. She had discovered many interesting things over the past few days, things she had never known before, which she found very exciting.
Meanwhile, Gu Yinchen, after reviewing Lin Huanyan’s profile, had been making preparations.
He knew that if he, a grown man, suddenly approached her, Lin Huanyan would definitely be wary, and it might even backfire.
After thinking it over, he decided to use the method he had once scorned — showing weakness. It was said that his father had used this strategy successfully to win his mother’s heart.
Although the tactic was old, it worked, so it led to the current situation.
Not wanting to bother with too much, he called Ji Shutong over.
“Boss, are you sure you want to do it this way?”
Ji Shutong looked at the brand-new small spacecraft in front of him, and after this shot, it might be destroyed completely.
“Yes, I’m sure. Aim carefully. Make the spacecraft look very old, but still capable of flying for a while, with the power not fully lost. Be sure to control the force well.”
“Boss, should I do it now?” Ji Shutong asked again, uncertain.
Gu Yinchen sat in the cockpit of the spacecraft, his expression cold, but his tone impatient.
“Do it now, stop hesitating.”
Hearing this, Ji Shutong stopped hesitating, calculated the damage, and fired a particle cannon at Gu Yinchen’s spacecraft.
The particle cannon lived up to its reputation as one of the most destructive weapons in the galaxy.
With a loud boom, half of the spacecraft’s wing and engine were destroyed, and a large hole appeared in the cockpit glass.
Gu Yinchen, sitting in the cockpit, didn’t even blink, letting the fire strike him.
He didn’t use his psychic powers for protection, allowing the flames to burn his clothes and leaving him with various wounds. Even a few strands of his dark hair were scorched by the fire.
But after looking at his own sorry state, he was quite satisfied.
“Alright, Ji, go back. I need to handle something. I’ll be back in a while. Keep an eye on the base, and don’t call me unless it’s something you can’t handle.”
He then flew the battered spacecraft toward the black hole station.
Lin Huanyan was reading a forum about interstellar forces on the star network when she saw an introduction about the Tianyu Star Pirates, the number one group of star thieves she had encountered earlier.
The information mentioned that Tianyu was an old pirate group, with an unknown history, originally surviving by robbing wealthy spacecraft. However, several generations ago, they switched their focus to exploring unknown star regions and opening new routes. They controlled 70% of the northern star region, which included several rich mineral deposits, making them one of the wealthiest forces in the galaxy.
Lin Huanyan couldn’t help but sneer, thinking, “Isn’t this just a typical case of having a rich family?”
The current leader of Tianyu Star Pirates was Gu Yinchen, with a 3S-level psychic power and extremely high combat abilities, ranking among the top in the galaxy, and the youngest of them all.
It was said that he was also very handsome, but no one dared to take his picture, so the forum only had a shadowed photo.
From the photo, you could vaguely make out his tall figure and the cold, imposing aura that emanated from him.
In addition, there were also the fire-powered expert Mu Xingye, who seemed harmless but was ruthless, and the tech genius Ji Shutong.
Lin Huanyan read each piece of information carefully.
Gu Yinchen, after managing to avoid the turbulence, finally reached the station, just as his spacecraft began to smoke. As he was about to land, he glanced at himself in the reflection. Despite his many wounds, he knew that lying in the medical cabin would heal him. Still, he decided to make sure there was no way to avoid it.
He struck himself hard in the stomach with his psychic powers.
The pain made him gasp, but he thought to himself, “No pain, no gain.”
He abandoned the controls, and the spacecraft plummeted vertically to the station’s platform.
Lin Huanyan, still absorbed in the information, suddenly heard a loud crash, and the floor shook.
She quickly activated her smart brain and went outside with the robot to check the situation.
The door was pushed open, and a suffocating smell of gunpowder rushed in. As the smoke dispersed, the wreckage of a flying ship came into view.
This startled Lin Huanyan, who quickly ran forward to check the situation.
The robot scanned, and Lin Huanyan herself looked with her own eyes, finally locating the cockpit amidst the ruins.
Through the shattered transparent front window, she could vaguely make out a tall man.
Lin Huanyan directed the robot to help drag him out.
The man’s eyes were tightly shut, his face covered in dust, making his features hard to discern. His black flight suit was torn with several holes, blood leaking out from the wounds, making him appear to be severely injured.
Lin Huanyan crouched down to check his breathing. It was faint and intermittent.
Not daring to hesitate, she quickly called for two more robots to help carry the man inside.
She rushed straight to the medical room, opened the medical pod, and prepared the nutrient solution.
As soon as the man was brought in, she instructed the robots to place him inside. Only after the machine successfully started did she let out a sigh of relief.
