After the “disaster” was eliminated, Cui QiChao re-allocated the food again and had to set aside XiaoBai’s share. Fortunately, XiaoBai was still quite small and didn’t eat much for the time being. But this still reminded him that he had to find a steady source of food quickly.

Cui QiChao repaired the electric lock of the scooter and connected a larger battery to it. The next day, he went out with XiaoBai to continue scavenging.

While he was indoors, XiaoBai was surprised to see Cui QiChao knew how to repair the scooter. When they went out, Cui QiChao didn’t speak to it, so XiaoBai was bored. Cui QiChao was focused on looking through all kinds of debris and recording the terrain—it seemed that he wanted to understand the surrounding terrain they were passing. 

Cui QiChao’s tenacity was obvious in the first two virtual planes, but this characteristic of his was more obvious when he arrived on an unmanned planet. If not for the fact that he would care for his only companion from time to time, XiaoBai would feel like he was like a robot.

After it became night, the temperature dropped lower. XiaoBai trembled even though he was wrapped in the cloth. Cui QiChao put it in his arms and said, “It’s only been six hours since we went out, even if it looks dark. Let’s find a place to rest after two more hours.”

XiaoBai was a kitten who threw itself into Cui QiChao’s embrace when it felt cold. It buried its head in Cui QiChao’s arms and never peeked out again.

Cui QiChao reduced his speed to avoid the scooter hitting tree stumps and pits on the ground. After driving for more than an hour, Cui QiChao found an unmanned space station. On this vast planet, sometimes the space stations would only be owned by one owner. Sometimes, it is occupied in turns by different people, and sometimes the owner couldn’t return again. There were all kinds of situations.

Cui QiChao came forward to check. No one seemed to have come here for a while, and the door was closed. Cui QiChao took out the toolbox and unlocked the gate.

The power system inside was spoiled and impossible to use. Cui QiChao carried a torch light as he explored the house. There was no equipment in the house. They were probably stolen away already. The supplies in the kitchen were also taken away, or it should be said that they were not all taken away at that time, and parts of it were left behind.

Looking at the degree of food deterioration, he deciphered that the owner has been away for at least a year. Cui QiChao searched patiently. He saw that there were several plant cultivation boxes here, and the possibility of seeds being present here increased infinitely.

XiaoBai suddenly meowed and shouted. Cui QiChao halted. Following the direction XiaoBai was looking at, he found a transparent sealed box under a pile of bread. He can see clearly that there are seeds in it without opening it.

Moreover, the preservation time of seeds is also long. The germination rate is 80% if it is sowed within three years, and the rate decreases as the years go along. However, this is a crop that can germinate in large quantities.

If their original owners want to eat the freshest vegetables in a short time, lettuce is undoubtedly a very good choice. 

Cui QiChao chucked the lettuce away and searched again. He only found a bottle of pheromone masking agent, which he threw away. In such places, the existence of a pheromone masking agent was of little significance. He lived alone and wouldn’t necessarily bump into another person for a month. Even if he carries a temporary spray with him, it will take 30 seconds to start taking effect even if he urgently needed it immediately. To Cui QiChao, his pheromones were almost the same as his body producing its natural perfume.

Since his family in this virtual plane sent him here to be confined, of course they would not give him pheromone masking agents or inhibitors, just to make him suffer.

Cui QiChao continued to flip around and found some compressed biscuits that hadn’t yet expired and could be eaten, as well as several packets of glucose powder and two bottles of wine.

The space station was also equipped with a water circulation device. The whole system was also removed by Cui QiChao to be brought back. If he could salvage something, he would savage it. 

Although the power system here was damaged, Cui QiChao could connect the scooter to the standby battery and fully charge the scooter.

It could be said that he returned after a rewarding trip. It’s lucky that Cui QiChao’s scooter could load everything safely. Here, he took out his sleeping bag and slept for a night with XiaoBai in his arms.

When he woke up again, it was still night outside. Cui QiChao calculated in his heart that the spring of the planet will come in three months. At that time, the situation should be much better.

Cui QiChao took the opportunity to drive back slowly in the dark night. In this dark night, only XiaoBai called out a bored “meow” sound from time to time, and occasionally he heard the sound of something shuffling. This is the sound the small animals on an unmanned planet emitted when they are disturbed. In winter, only they will haunt this barren area——even in a place like this, this area would be considered barren. 

These creatures lived underground and burrowed through one hole to another. Cui QiChao had not even been able to see their true appearance. He only vaguely knew that they were very, very small and similar to lizards. Cui QiChao simply and crudely named them ground insects. He was not sure whether they were poisonous.

It was also a terribly boring long way back. XiaoBai, as a kitten, spent most of its time sleeping. When XiaoBai was awake, it felt so bored, it was gruelling.

Cui QiChao noted this in his heart. After returning, he made XiaoBai a cat toy with the packing box he brought back. The box was full of holes, and the bottle cap inside the box was taken out for the cat to play with as well.

XiaoBai looked at it for a few seconds and felt that the toy was a little insulting to his IQ, but it was so bored that it had no choice but to pick it up to play with. 

Cui QiChao first observed how well his treasure, the sweet potatoes, had grown when he came back. He had already soaked the seeds for one day. While soaking it, he made more plant cultivation boxes and refrigerated the seeds for one day. In this way, the seedlings would emerge faster.

Before planting, he added some poudrette to the soil and poured some rice water in the middle of the box. After that, he wouldn’t have to waste much effort to take care of it. There was only Cui QiChao living here. Over the past month, just pick a few leaves each time, and keep the rest there so it could continue growing. This way, he could eat the crop for a long time, and there would be sufficient vegetables for him to eat.

Cui QiChao stayed in the space station for a few more days, waiting for lettuce to sprout and grow to seedlings. In addition to controlling temperature and light, Cui QiChao began to toggle with his scooter again.

Having seeds is like having hope. Cui QiChao was full of energy when he thought that spring was just a few months later. He wanted to first transform the scooter into one suited for agricultural use. Secondly, he wanted to connect the scooter with farm tools. 

It would be easy to accomplish the first part, but for the second part, Cui QiChao had no farm tools.

It would be impossible for Cui QiChao to only plant things indoors. He wanted to plant vegetables outside, too. Fertilizers can also be retted with all kinds of domestic garbage and local plants and trees. Additionally, those alien wastelands would have to be ploughed before sowing.

There was no metal plate here. Even if he could remove it from another piece of equipment, it was difficult for him to make a standard plough. Cui QiChao wanted to find some hook-like metal to replace it.

Cui QiChao went to look for a suitable plough all around him. There are still a few months left. His state of mind was still stable. It’s really a big deal to him. At most, he would have to make a hand plough, and it would take longer for him to farm. 

The winter on another planet felt more boring than the winter in the middle ages. XiaoBai played with the roughly made toys, and the rest of the time, it helped Cui QiChao with his work, otherwise it would be so idle that it would be bored to death.

LJJ：

[LJJ is awesome! I’m thoroughly impressed. They really made Boss Cui into an Ω.]

[I hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha] 

[Spread the word! Everyone is rejoicing that Cui QiChao has become an Omega. I strongly request LJJ to let us personally experience Cui QiChao. I wanna fuck, wanna fuck]

[What kind of species is upstairs??? Your guts are bigger than the heavens]

[What you should have asked is whether the one upstairs is a male or a female. I feel slightly afraid of them]

[Eh? What’s Cui QiChao’s major? He could also dismantle the cooking machine… Shit, this is because he wanted to dismantle the window. He escaped from the prison in minutes] 

[The most important thing is that he can take it down and put it back together, okay?]

[Fuck, did you see Cui QiChao’s posture when he was gripping the gun? I’m afraid you guys will be the ones that will be pressed down by the black-hearted divine farmer to farm crazily…]

[Isn’t this the pre-interstellar era, why is he suddenly picking up garbage! He’s picking up garbage and growing sweet potatoes on another planet. What a magical life he’s leading.]

[I want to complain about why the A/B/O setting is so boring. He’s not even like an Ω, and I can’t even see any shadow of an α. Come and bully this Omega!] 

[Don’t worry, I’ve seen a lot of dramas in this setting. He will either agree to go back and get married and fall in love, or stay here to meet someone else, and in the future, he’ll face asura from his family]

[Asura your head! More like Boss Cui went to fix the plant cultivation box]

.

[For this lass to have such an expression, was it because she smelled the pheromones of Lord Cui? Judging from her expression, it doesn’t look like the smell of manure] 

[What does he smell like? This fucking show is like a pantomime. It’s been ages since he talked with someone! Can you tell us what’s the smell of his pheromones!]

[I strongly urge the LJJ officials to announce Lord Cui’s pheromones scent quickly. I bet 50jj coins it smells like rice!]

[He’s raising a cat again. He’s fucking awesome. Even when he’s in such a state, Lord Cui wouldn’t forget to raise a cat. But isn’t his naming skills a little bad? This cat’s fur is all orange, yet it’s called XiaoBai again. What an easy way to name a cat]

[Based on the rich knowledge I learned from watching Cui QiChao’s program… I don’t think three jin is worth it] 

[I also don’t think three jin is worth the cat. Three jin of grains could feed him for many days. The cat doesn’t even weigh three kin]

[Your majesty, your majesty, please reconsider! The orange cat is not worth it, not worth three jin!]

[He’s muddle-headed!!]
