There are many ways to apply Interstellar’s research results to the market.
You can hand it over to a higher-level research institute, you can hand it over to a specialized business organization, you can contact the company yourself, or you can even simply open an online store to sell it.
As long as the research results are properly categorized according to the institute’s standards and enough taxes are paid monthly, any of these approaches are fine.
Lin Huanyan bookmarked the relevant information for later research and planning.
She estimated the time and put away her smart terminal.
“How’s it going? Have they hatched yet?” she asked.
Gu Yincheng, who had been watching intently, replied, “Not yet, but it’s close. One of them is starting to stir.”
“Which one?” Lin Huanyan leaned in.
“This one, the one I’m pointing at.”
Lin Huanyan squinted at the soil. Sure enough, amid the chaotic mixture, a tiny round dot was wriggling vigorously. With its struggles, the faint shape of a small fish began to emerge.
“Wow, it’s coming out!” Lin Huanyan exclaimed in delight.
She quickly grabbed a small spoon to transfer it into a clean cultivation bottle.
The current bottle’s bottom was filled with soil, and the water was murky—unsuitable for observing the fish’s growth.
But Lin Huanyan overestimated her skills and underestimated the fish.
After trying for ages, she couldn’t even scoop a single scale. Instead, her clumsy actions had Gu Yincheng laughing out loud.
“What are you laughing at? If you’re so good, you do it!” Lin Huanyan retorted, embarrassed and annoyed.
“Alright, I will.” Gu Yincheng placed a hand lightly on the bottle’s rim, and his starry eyes suddenly deepened, like a vortex that could absorb everything.
Under Lin Huanyan’s wide-eyed gaze, the tiny fish began to rise, moving silently upward. Enveloped in a transparent water sphere, it floated out of the bottle.
The water sphere leisurely drifted to the neighboring clean bottle and gently settled inside.
Looking again, the small fish was now swimming energetically in its new home.
This seamless display of skill left Lin Huanyan, who had never seen such things before, utterly astonished.
She had only ever seen moves like this in movies.
“Gu Yincheng, is this your ability?” Lin Huanyan stared at him, her eyes filled with curiosity and amazement. Although she had heard about such abilities, she had never witnessed them herself.
“Yes. Guess what my ability is?”
“What kind of ability?” Lin Huanyan racked her brain, trying to recall anything from the StarNet, but she couldn’t find any relevant records.
Just now, when he controlled water, wasn’t that wrong too? If he only had the ability to control water, would he drag a cart of water into a fight with other space pirates before?
Dragging a cart while fighting—that image was too bizarre to imagine, and it didn’t match his abilities at all.
Suddenly, Lin Huanyan thought of telekinesis powers from the superpower movies she’d seen on Earth.
“Your ability… could it be telekinesis? The kind that can control things with your mind?”
“Telekinesis? Never heard of that term, but the effect is pretty similar to what you’re describing.”
After speaking, the man raised his hand slightly, and the tables, cabinets, and machines that had been sitting quietly on the floor all floated up into the air.
Then, under Lin Huanyan’s astonished gaze, they returned to their original positions, perfectly aligned, just as before.
So, he even gave her a demonstration.
“Wow, your ability must make tidying up the house so convenient!” Lin Huanyan’s eyes sparkled.
Gu Yinchen burst out laughing—his high-level power, and the first thing she thought of was cleaning the house.
Still, he answered her, “Yes, it is quite convenient.”
However, Lin Huanyan was merely making an offhand remark and didn’t actually suggest that Gu Yinchen clean the room.
But when it came to directing him, she had no hesitation.
While the two of them were chatting, more little fish hatched from the culture bottle. Lin Huanyan directed Gu Yinchen to transfer them one by one into a neighboring culture bottle.
They only stopped once their mental powers confirmed there were no viable fish eggs left in the soil.
Tiny fish fry, each no larger than the tip of a needle, swam happily in the culture bottle. Lin Huanyan counted 24 of them.
The special starter feed for the fry was treated brine shrimp eggs.
Since it was a gift from the seller, the quantity was limited. Lin Huanyan hatched the eggs, used a small portion mixed with interstellar nutrient solution to feed the fry, and raised the rest, intending to let them grow and produce more eggs for future feed.
The fry didn’t seem to mind the slightly altered food, eagerly eating with gusto.
Hatching fish eggs was clearly time-consuming. By the time Lin Huanyan and Gu Yinchen finished, it was already evening.
After bidding farewell to Gu Yinchen, Lin Huanyan carried Big Bao and Little Bao back to her bedroom.
The two little fluffballs rolled around in their soft nest, their round bellies full from milk.
The past couple of days had been so eventful that Lin Huanyan had neglected them. Now, seeing them again, their fur was not only fluffier and shinier in its black-and-white contrast, but their growth was visibly noticeable.
Lin Huanyan lifted the lid, reached in, and gave them a rub. They were soft and chubby, feeling incredibly satisfying to the touch.
The little fluffballs were very affectionate, seemingly recognizing their owner. Tiny paws clung to Lin Huanyan’s hand, and their little heads nuzzled against her.
Big Bao acted this way, and Little Bao refused to be outdone. Seeing the prime spot taken by Big Bao, it rushed over with determination. With its chubby little body, it nudged Big Bao aside to take the spot.
Lin Huanyan couldn’t help but laugh, watching the two little creatures playfully squabble. Her once-heavy heart felt much lighter.
After playing for a while, Lin Huanyan waited until the two little ones lay soft and sleepy in their nest before starting to ponder her own matters.
She wasn’t someone who liked to procrastinate, just a bit indecisive.
Her ability had awakened—it was a bio-based power that could remove contamination from living organisms and significantly promote their growth.
And this was only what she had initially discovered. Her intuition told her that her ability could be trained and upgraded to unlock more uses.
Looking at it this way, merely settling for a peaceful life seemed too passive.
Thinking about that great “Buddha”—one of her former homeland’s pinnacle technologies—it represented an immortal legacy.
Lying in bed and gazing at the starry sky outside the window, Lin Huanyan thought about many things and silently made a decision in her heart.
The next morning, before the alarm even rang, Lin Huanyan surprisingly got out of bed early.
She sat in the spacious living room and started planning her next steps.
Bright simulated sunlight streamed through the massive glass windows, reflecting off a luxurious crystal chandelier, scattering fragments of light everywhere.
The light fell upon the girl sitting on the soft sofa below. Her jet-black hair shone with a glossy luster, and her jade-like face appeared even more radiant under the diffused light.
Combined with her focused and serious expression, she looked like a pure, otherworldly goddess.
When Gu Yinchen opened the door, he was utterly stunned.
And it reminded him of a widely known saying: “Love at first sight is often just attraction to beauty.”
He admitted it—he was captivated by her appearance. At this moment, he only wanted to take the goddess home.
The person on the sofa seemed to hear the sound and suddenly looked up.
“You’re awake?”
“Mm, Yanyan, what are you working on?”
“I’m making a plan—a detailed one for the next steps. I thought about it last night and realized you made some good points.”
Hearing this, Gu Yinchen felt very pleased. He had been astonished by Lin Huanyan’s zero-pollution plants before, and after learning the reason, his admiration for her grew even deeper.
Setting aside his personal feelings for her, her ability alone was enough for him to hold her in high regard.
In the interstellar age, far too many people suffer from psychic disorders. Everyone knows the cause is radiation pollution, and it’s also common knowledge that plants with lower levels of pollution can soothe and calm the mind, prevent the progression of such disorders, and even treat them.
However, such plants are exceedingly rare and notoriously difficult to cultivate.
The number of new patients continues to rise each year, while the so-called soothing plants not only remain scarce but also grow increasingly expensive, making them unaffordable for the average person.
While he couldn’t speak for other factions, in their Tianyu Pirate Group alone, the number of reported patients was already significant.
Their worsening conditions were directly tied to their missions—venturing into deep space to explore uncharted planets and secure trade routes.
Tianyu naturally took care of its own, expending substantial effort annually to procure soothing plants. Yet, even so, the supply was barely sufficient.
The otherworldly deliveries and Lin Huanyan’s abilities, however, offered him a new possibility.
That was why he had been persistently urging her to step forward and showcase her capabilities—to become someone who could set the rules.
Otherwise, as the saying goes, “No wall is entirely airtight.” If word of her abilities ever leaked, even if he wanted to protect her, he wouldn’t stand a chance against the combined forces of other factions.
By then, her situation would be far worse than if she had taken the initiative now.
Lin Huanyan was organizing her plans while deep in thought.
Although she had never held a high position before, her perspective was anything but narrow.
China’s thousands of years of history had taught her well—the innocent holding treasure is always guilty, a principle that applied universally.
Thus, it was better to seize the initiative herself.
What if she wasn’t skilled in socializing or reluctant to disrupt her peaceful life?
She possessed a unique, irreplaceable technology. As long as she didn’t act foolishly, she could leverage it to gain academic prestige and societal influence, forging partnerships with the right factions so no one would dare act recklessly.
And for herself? She wouldn’t need to manage much—she only had to continue developing and cultivating products, leaving others to eagerly handle everything else for her.
As Gu Yincheng had said, if you’re going to do it, aim to be the one standing at the apex of the pyramid, the one who sets the rules.
This way, she could naturally do whatever she pleased and choose the lifestyle that suited her best.
In the sunlit living room, the ornate and intricately designed European-style furniture sat elegantly. It had no inkling that it would one day become the newest fashion sensation across the galaxy.
