287: Chapter 289 The children have grown up and started causing trouble for aliens.

"Excuse me... mister selling octopus tentacles, can I trade this ton of top-grade Blue Crystal Ore for that skewer of grilled gluten?"

The childish voice sounded jarringly out of place in the bustling Chenxing Technology interstellar trade port.

Jiang Xinghe was wearing a small tactical vest emblazoned with "I am the Little Overlord of the Universe" and held a portable laser cutter powered by high-energy batteries that was completely inappropriate for his age.

He tilted his head, and in those eyes that inherited the charm of Jiang Chen, a glint of cunning—the kind called "shrewd businessman"—flickered.

Standing opposite him was an alien merchant with six eyes and a body covered in scales.

This alien merchant had originally been arrogantly wiping its collection behind the shelf, but upon hearing the words "laser cutter" and "Blue Crystal Ore," all six of its eyes went wide.

"Honorable... little guest."

Its voice was hoarse and filled with extreme greed, "Did you just say... this cutting beam from Earth can instantly cut through my hard shell?"

"Not only can it cut through, but it can also make a clean cut without even a burr."

Jiang Xinghe deftly handled the cutter like a veteran salesman, "This is my old man's... oh no, my boss's latest scientific achievement. It belongs to the 'civilian self-defense grade,' essential for home, travel, and defending against aliens."

"Deal!"

Before the alien merchant could react, that heap of priceless Blue Crystal Ore had already been stuffed into the mini space backpack next to Jiang Xinghe.

"Hehe."

Jiang Xinghe turned his head and looked at his younger sister, Jiang Yueying, standing not far away.

Jiang Yueying wore two buns in her hair, was dressed in a mini Chenxing Technology bulletproof skirt, and was holding an electromagnetic telescopic baton that looked ordinary but was actually incredibly powerful.

She was smiling sweetly at a group of alien profiteers who were trying to peddle "inferior power furnaces."

"Mister, this model of yours is outdated."

Jiang Yueying extended her finger and tapped lightly on the engine of the other party's rickety spaceship.

The engine instantly shut down.

"Oops, it's broken."

Jiang Yueying looked innocent, "What should we do? This repair fee should at least cost us a navigation permit for a star sector, right?"

The group of alien merchants around them felt like they wanted to die.

Where did these two little monsters come from?

Stealing things was one thing, but they were actually using technology to extort people?

Jiang Xinghe turned around and gave his sister a thumbs up: "Well done! This old thing dared to litter around our Mars Base last time. Fining it for the mining rights of three star sectors is cheap!"

"That's right!"

Jiang Yueying triumphantly swung the telescopic baton in her hand, "Who told them to dare act like hooligans on our turf? Brother said that the motto of our Chenxing Technology is—an eye for an eye, double the return!"

Jiang Chen stood on a high tower in the distance, holding a glass of red wine, watching this scene with a complex expression.

These two kids...

They are only ten years old.

They have already learned how to use high-end techniques like "staged accidents" to integrate the cosmic industrial chain?

If they grow up a bit more, will there still be any room for these aliens in the Milky Way Galaxy?

"Boss."

Zhao Gang stood behind him, a look of gratification on his face as he watched his own children finally "grow up," and he was holding a remote control, "The business sense of these two kids is practically a replica of your style back then."

"Especially that line 'The engine broke during repairs, compensate with a star sector,' it's even more outrageous than your 'drainage ditch cornering' back then."

"That is, that is."

Jiang Chen drained the red wine in his hand, "This isn't bad, this is the awakening of business logic."

He pointed at the two little rascals who were currently extorting a trade ship from a higher civilization:

"I brought these guys to the Mars Base just to have them do some manual labor."

"I didn't expect these two little ancestors to treat this place like a kindergarten, and they spend all day ganging up to bully the civilizations on neighboring planets."

"Sigh, kids grow up and their hearts get wild."

He sighed, and casually transferred 10,000 energy points to these two children who were "starting a business," as their startup fund.

In the livestream, Earth netizens watching this scene had gone from initial shock to complete numbness.

[I'm convinced! I am truly convinced!]

[Is this the elite education of Dragon Kingdom primary schools? Ten years old and already going to space to commit alien extortion?]

[God Jiang, please control these two living ancestors of yours! If this continues, all the aliens in the universe will pack their bags and run away overnight!]

[God Jiang says: I didn't teach them! They learned this all by themselves! This is what you call... genetic inheritance!]

The popularity of the livestream was about to explode, but for Jiang Chen, this was already a common occurrence.

"Let's go."

Jiang Chen placed his wine glass on the railing and looked into the depths of the starry sky, his eyes suddenly becoming incomparably deep.

"These kids have had enough fun."

"It's time to take them to see the real 'adult world'."

He didn't linger on the route, but sent a directive to the two children who were still enthusiastically extorting the alien merchant via ship-to-ship communication:

"Time to go home."

"We're going somewhere further away."

"To that..."

Jiang Chen paused, thinking of an ultimate problem that had never been solved, the question about his identity as a "father," the future of his "retirement base," and the "shura field" that was about to come.

"Go and bring back your Aunt Jiang Wanqiu."

"After all, this mahjong game is still missing two spots to complete the table."

Jiang Xinghe and Jiang Yueying looked at each other.

On the two small faces that looked exactly like Jiang Chen's, that iconic, terrifying-to-aliens, slightly wicked smile appeared simultaneously.

"Okay, Dad."

"Just in time, we also want to see how much that legendary Empress can take a beating."

The two siblings flicked the laser tactical equipment in their hands and jumped onto the shuttle of the luan bird that had been hovering in mid-air.

That spaceship carrying countless alien ill-gotten gains and technological blueprints, with those two childish faces that hadn't had enough fun, instantly disappeared into a golden warp crack.

They left.

Leaving behind a whole Milky Way Galaxy that was trembling and never dared to park or litter near Earth again.

Jiang Chen leaned back in his command chair.

Watching the constantly elongating star trails.

This long expedition made him feel a trace of long-lost fatigue.

But beneath this fatigue, there was more of a... sense of control over the whole situation.

Whether it was those alien gods who were farming, or these messy harems and children.

He, Jiang Chen, had used this unreasonable "street stall logistics" system to carve out a bloody path.

"Is this the universe?"

"It's just a slightly larger..."

"Sweet potato field."

Jiang Chen closed the screen, the corner of his mouth curling into a final smile.

Just at this moment.

A sudden vibration that made his spine chill rang out from the communicator.

It was a security alert from his Earth villa.

[Detected that the defensive shield of your home has been forcibly cracked!]

[Intruder characteristics: Possesses a God-level Civilization mark, and...]

[Is currently sitting on your sofa, holding the key you left for Academician Chen Shuyin to study, attempting to open your bedroom door.]

Jiang Chen froze.

The "expeditionary force" hadn't even reached Centaurus yet, but the backyard was already on fire.

"Good fellow."

Jiang Chen showed a smile to the starry sky that was both helpless and full of anticipation.

"The actions of these women."

"Are getting faster one after another."

He slammed the console:

"Forget it!"

"Send a red envelope back first, buy them each a 'cooling off' package."

"Hope that by the time I rush back."

"This house... can still have a foundation left."

Following this joke, the entire warship completely disappeared into the curvature acceleration.

Ahead.

The ultimate shura field that truly belonged to this "Father God" game.

Finally.

With the slow opening of that bedroom door.

With that cold, murderous sneer from Jiang Wanqiu.

It officially began.

Who wins, who loses?

Can scientific logic win, or can the madness of bloodlines win?

This is no longer important.

What is important is.

When that Empress in black armor faced that cold and glamorous Academician in the bedroom on Earth.

Jiang Chen knew.

In this life of his.

He has been thoroughly arranged by these "family members."
