Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

"How could that be! I'm so satisfied!" Xu Weiwei said happily.

"You're amazing! I thought we wouldn't have enough time, my goodness... only two or three days have passed since I told you! How did you do that?"

Finn's lips curled up at a restrained 45° angle: "It's nothing, we just happen to have a construction team we know."

Ganz expressed his gratitude.

Finn's smile faded slightly: "No need to thank me. Vera is still a child, and I'll try my best to help her in any way I can, to lighten her burden. Isn't that what a brother's role is?"

Kane and Ryan exchanged a glance: they felt like they were being subtly insulted...

Ganz couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with those words; he wasn't good at thinking about these things, so he just forced a smile and didn't reply.

"Miss Wei'er, can we let the people off now?" The officers from the two escort ships came over to ask.

"Okay, let everyone come down."

The starship's hatch opened, the elevator platform lowered, and soldiers led the way.

"Watch your step, stand firm and hold on tight."

The Guderians lined up, stepped onto the escalator, and cautiously surveyed this unfamiliar territory.

Star 9527 is not fully urbanized; only a small area has been developed as a breeding base. From a high vantage point, the rows of neat silver "blocks" are particularly eye-catching, but a glance around reveals that they are not much different from where they live.

Gantz was both grateful and delighted when he later learned that Xu Weiwei had made this suggestion in the command center.

He had experienced it firsthand and knew how drastically different this place was from their original way of life; getting used to it and adapting was no easy task. Even now, he couldn't fully integrate, let alone his people who had just experienced the trauma of war.

That once vibrant and powerful race is now reduced to just over three hundred old, weak, sick, and disabled people. Almost every one of them is wrapped in bandages and covered with medical dressings of various sizes.

The vigorous vitality and fiery passion are gone, replaced by restraint, listlessness, caution, and wariness.

Like a flock of sparrows huddled under the eaves of a human dwelling after being rained on.

This scene brought tears to Xu Weiwei's eyes, and Gantz and the chief were also deeply saddened.

But as long as people are alive, there is hope. Children will grow up, get married, have children, and continue to reproduce generation after generation. The Guder people will eventually regain their former prosperity.

Xu Weiwei smiled and stepped forward to say to everyone, "The rooms have been prepared for you. A single room can accommodate one adult and one child under twelve years old, a double room can accommodate two people, and a family room can accommodate four adults and two children. If you are fourteen or fifteen years old or older, you can also choose which room to stay in and who to stay with."

"Now everyone move to the large conference room, it's cool there. Sit down and have a good discussion. Your luggage will be delivered to your rooms later."

After an hour of work, with the coordination of the chief and Gantz, the rooms were quickly assigned.

The basic structure was already formed at the camp. People with the same blood, relatives, or good neighborly relations naturally gathered together. All that was needed was to further subdivide it.

Most of the older children who are nearing adulthood have chosen to live independently. There are also a few cases of older sisters or brothers living with their younger siblings.

Xu Weiwei explained the room layout and how to use some household appliances on the large screen in the conference room.

Eight years ago, Sifus had already built a power station on Gooddale, allowing the locals to stop using traditional candles and oil lamps for lighting.

But seeing these things again now still shocked them greatly, and they exclaimed "amazing".

"Now let's go to the dorms and take a look, practice a bit. I'll explain anything you don't know how to use," Xu Weiwei said, standing up.

A large group of people moved away.

The people of Goodell find it very strange to go from independent bungalows and courtyards to small cubicles; everything seems new and exciting.

"If it can cool, why isn't it called a 'cold box'? It's not made of ice, and there's no ice inside."

Why is the washing machine spinning by itself? Is there really no one inside?

"How can I use the toilet sitting down? I can't possibly poop while sitting... Oh dear... Can I have a squat toilet dug?"

……

Xu Weiwei showed no impatience, answering their questions as best she could and demonstrating again and again until they had completely learned it. Finn stayed with her the whole time, and when she said she was tired, he took over the explanation for her.

Before we knew it, it was noon, and we had pretty much finished introducing the dormitories.

Xu Weiwei called Gantz and her brother to remind them to take people out for lunch once they were settled.

The group, acting as tour guides, led the large group into the cafeteria.

"Take your tray and chopsticks here! Then see what you want to eat, line up at the corresponding window to get your food! There's no time or quantity limit! You can go back for more when you're done! Just throw your used utensils into the [Utensil Recycling] hole over there! Just throw them in! You don't need to worry about anything else!"

With so many people, it's easy for things to get noisy. In the noisy environment, Xu Weiwei anxiously gave directions to one bewildered Goodel person after another.

Kane, seeing this, pulled her aside with concern: "That's enough. They'll just follow suit if they see this. You should rest for a while, sit down and eat properly, don't collapse from exhaustion..."

Finn, who happened to be passing by, overheard this and his face immediately darkened. He stared intently at Xu Weiwei and asked, "When did this happen?"

As he spoke, he suddenly paused, as if he had suddenly remembered something, and said thoughtfully, "So, when you went missing, it wasn't because you were too busy to contact me, but because you simply couldn't get back, right? Or maybe both."

Finn easily connected the two things and guessed pretty much correctly.

“Uh…” Xu Weiwei scratched her cheek.

"I wasn't dizzy, I just fell asleep."

"Ah."

Finn was so angry he laughed. He couldn't stand it anymore and pinched her nose, shaking it back and forth: "Selviel, what's in your head? How could you say something like that?"

"Ugh—!" Xu Weiwei's face scrunched up as she grabbed Finn's wrist, trying to free her nose.

"What are you doing! The child didn't do it on purpose. That's enough. She only hid it because she didn't want you to worry. Why are you still arguing with the child? You've pinched her until she's red..."

Kane slapped his hand away, then tenderly cupped his sister's face in his hands and examined her closely.

Finn's expression was complicated. He hesitated, then sighed helplessly, "Let's eat first."

"Okay! I'll go get the food!"

Xu Weiwei tried to run away, but Finn grabbed her by the back of the neck: "We're not eating here. I had Vincent make your favorite dishes separately."

"Wow, that's great! Let's go!"
