Interstellar Orphanage Cultivates Bai Ze Cubs to Be Omniscient and Omnipotent
Chapter 16 The Road to Wealth is Long
Once his body absorbed the medicine, Leng Fan was able to attend classes with everyone. However, the kids in the courtyard were restless and wanted to take away his title as the leader.
Throughout the day, the cat cubs Kuli and Xiaomi were the ones who launched sneak attacks, and Oan was itching to stretch out his claws. After all, which orc doesn't want to be the boss?
Unfortunately, they were all overturned by Leng Fan.
The live stream was filled with laughter as the three little cubs were turned inside out, revealing their white fur to everyone.
Meng Yu'er was struggling to hold back her laughter in the live stream, and tears were almost streaming down her face.
Well, now they're completely obedient.
This is another encyclopedic lecture. This time, Wen Ai talked about the period when plants flourished in the past.
The virtual screen displayed a scene of lush green grass and birdsong, which the cubs watched intently. The beauty of natural plants could not be imitated by today's rigid artificial plants.
Seeing that everyone was engrossed in the lesson, Wen Ai asked a few questions before the get out of class ended, making them multiple-choice questions for the kids to guess, which also served as an introduction to the next lesson.
"Children, these are plants from ancient Earth. Look, which one is a plant that grows in water?" Images appeared on the screen: lotus, wheat, and euphorbia.
"This! It's a treasure herb!" Kuli quickly answered. Each petal of the treasure herb was crystal clear and slightly transparent, much like a plant that grows in water.
Some of the indecisive youngsters, including Oan, chimed in. He and Coolie were good friends, so he had to support him.
Xiao Mi, however, thought it was wheat, with long, thin leaves that resembled a type of aquatic plant he had seen before. Wen Rui looked at the plants, none of which he recognized, and scratched his golden head in confusion.
“Lotus! Lotus flowers are in the water.” Xiao Li and Terra, the two girls, thought the lotus flowers were extremely beautiful and agreed. Wen Ze raised his little face and said, “The lotus flower is the perfect description of being graceful and elegant.”
The children turned to look at the confident Wen Ze, somewhat bewildered.
Pavilion what? A four-character phrase, sounds impressive.
Wen Ai chuckled at Xiao Ze's somewhat smug expression, knowing he must have seen it on the personal terminal. He gave the correct answer: "That's right, lotuses are aquatic plants." He glanced at Leng Fan and Miao Yang, who seemed uninterested, and said, "The lotus is a treasure; you can eat the whole thing, especially its roots, which grow thick, plump lotus roots that are sweet and delicious." Miao Yang's eyes immediately lit up, and Leng Fan also became interested.
Yes, Fanzai is also a foodie, but she's very picky about food.
In the live stream, viewers expressed that they had also learned something, and most of them praised Wen Ze's intelligence, with Meng Yu'er being the most enthusiastic among them.
"Ahhhh, Ze is so smart! Mommy kisses mua! (*╯3╰)" She has been a long-time fan of Baiwen Orphanage, witnessing Wen Ze's transformation little by little, and is very gratified.
"This kid is pretty smart."
"Haha, this little ferret stood up as soon as it heard it could be eaten, that's so funny."
"The baby owl's head is so cute!"
"Xiao Mi Xiao Mi!"
"This precious herb is really beautiful, I'm going to buy one right now!" She even left a tip of "Meteor Shower," which attracted a lot of traffic.
"The people upstairs are really rich, I'm in awe!"
"Yeah, yeah, and he's the only humanoid kid here." While there were friendly new fans, there were also discordant voices.
"How did Wen Ze know? Did he study in advance?"
"Did Teacher Wen leak the questions? Is he trying to cultivate a smart persona?"
But Wen Ai was prepared, and these untimely voices were quickly suppressed.

Wen Ze has been very busy lately, and he has been searching for ways to make money whenever he has time online.
They're either unreliable or full-time, making it impossible to achieve anything.
But this lesson made him realize how rare natural plants are here.
What was so ordinary in the Immortal Realm became a hot commodity in the interstellar world, and Wen Ze's farming spirit was burning brightly!
There's only one question left: where do we find the seeds?
At this time, Baiwen Orphanage was indeed facing a predicament.
The landlord wants to raise the rent!
Xiao Liang had rented Baiwen Orphanage for five years, and there was still one year left. Naturally, Xiao Liang wanted to continue renting it, but the landlord proposed that he would pay an extra 10,000 star coins per year.
This is a very important matter for Baiwen Orphanage.
In fact, Xiao Liang has been losing money since he opened this orphanage. He relies entirely on the family fortune he accumulated while working as a mercenary to make ends meet, earning an extra 10,000 star coins each year. If he continues to lose money, the Baiwen Orphanage will have to close down in a few years.
The rent is secondary; the main expense is the cost of those natural plants, which is 10,000 star coins a month, just enough to cover the tuition fees for a few kids, not even including additional maintenance costs.
Xiao Liang ruffled his golden-orange hair and habitually sat cross-legged, trying to come up with a solution.
Or, how about I go out and take a few more orders?
He hesitated, fearing that gentleness alone wouldn't be enough to control these brats.
At this moment, Wen Ai spoke up: "I'll cover next year's expenses." Xiao Liang looked up at him, and Wen Ai continued, "However, I have the right to participate in the decision-making process regarding the future of the orphanage."
This means we're going to invest.
Xiao Liang readily agreed.
What a joke! You won't agree to such a great opportunity? Xiao Liang knew what Wen Ai was thinking, but he didn't care. Shanshan Planet was remote, so no matter how unconventional the courses were, they wouldn't be hindered too much by other forces.
At worst, we can just raise Xiao Li's kids. He can go out and take on a few more jobs, and the orphanage will be smaller, but we can still survive.
Xiao Liang, oblivious to everything, shifted the only thing weighing on his mind to Wen Ai.
But he also has his own way.
Selling medicines.
He lost his identity as a pharmacist, but the black market is never short of buyers for potions. The money he had could solve some immediate problems, but for sustainable development, he still had to rely on selling potions.
He made up his mind and, with practiced ease, entered the black market forum to find a trading point located on the planet Shanshan.
After a lecture on encyclopedia topics, Wen Ze tugged at Teacher Wen's arm and said, "Teacher Wen, I want to farm."
Faced with Ozawa's hopeful gaze, Wen Ai was delighted by his thirst for knowledge, yet also somewhat troubled.
Plants are expensive, and even the seeds rich in vitality are extremely rare. In fact, the natural plants that the little ones eat now have undergone some genetic modification. The mother plants have extremely high yields, but the seeds in the fruits have almost no vitality. They are considered medium-quality natural plants. Every single seed on the planet Shanshan is auctioned off.
All he could say was, "The seeds are precious, so don't cry if they don't grow!" Hearing this, Wen Ze nodded excitedly.
Wen Ai led him to the cafeteria, where the vegetables served today... were tomatoes.
He cut open the dark red flesh, revealing the seeds inside.
