(Two in one) Earn money! Earn money! Earn money!
…
Lu Liran took a breath, and when he met the boy’s steel-blue eyes, he actually had the illusion of seeing a miniature version of Ke Ji.
The stern-look of the little guy’s face, it’s impossible to say they’re unrelated, they’re simply identical.
He closed his eyes hard, the pupils of the little guy and Ke Ji’s were too similar in color, which made him a little dazed.
In fact, Lu Ziqian’s features are more like his former self, but not so much, more or less with a bit of the other papa’s genes.
However, since he only had a very vague impression of that night, he didn’t have much of an impression of what the other papa looked like. He only remembered that pair of warm palms locked on his waist tightly, and he was overwhelmed by the other party, shaking all over. He couldn’t stand up straight and leaned back, he slid down and was hugged by that person, then was turned over and continued. When he woke up the next day, he felt as if he had been dismantled and reassembled. In front of the battlefront, he heard of a large-scale attack by Zerg, and His Excellency Commander led the first mobile team and the second team to face the good news.
The child, Lu Ziqian, opened his small fist in distress, and put his palm on Lu Liran’s wound, with tears streaming down his face: “Papa must be very painful.”
“It doesn’t hurt, it won’t hurt if you blow it off.” Lu Liran smiled, seeing that Zai-Zai was not really afraid of his wounds, he was completely relieved.
After his tense nerves were released, his whole person floated lazily in the pool with Zai-Zai in his arms.
Little Zai-Zai obediently blew on Lu Liran’s wound, and after he blew for a while, he became sad again—— what if papa is injured again when he travels far away, and there is no Zai-Zai to blow it for him by his side?
Lu Liran didn’t know what the little boy was thinking, but the constant temperature pool water under him embraced him, making him so comfortable that he wished he could just sleep first.
Not long after, Jin Fei came over with a hot meal and urged: “Young master, don’t soak for too long, you will get dizzy, and so does little young master. Get up and eat something.”
“Okay.” Lu Liran responded.
He lifted Lu Ziqian to the bank, and supported the bank with both hands, then propped himself up in one go, and got up from the pool.
Jin Fei looked at the young master, then at the stairs of the bathing pool just a few meters away from the young master. The corners of his mouth twitched, the young master refused to go even if there was a good way.
Lu Liran took the big bath towel from Jin Fei, he wiped his hair and put it on his body, then turned around to pick up little Zai-Zai he just put on the bank, and strode into the room.
——And this child, Lu Ziqian, thrived to cling onto him himself.
The little boy was very happy, and he hugged Lu Liran’s neck tightly the whole time with a smile on his face. His white and tender little face was nestled against his papa’s tanned wheat-colored chest, the color difference was about four-five points.
Jin Fei hoped that his young master could have a good rest, but seeing the happy father and son, he was reluctant to persuade him, so he had to prepare another supplementary food for the little young master alone.
He specifically made it the right size for swallowing, so that Lu Liran could easily feed Zai-Zai using a small spoon.
When Lu Liran ate by himself, his speed was fast and his appetite was astonishing, he was completely trained by army life, but when feeding Lu Ziqian, he instead chewed and swallowed slowly.
While eating, he asked Jin Fei for a brand new communicator, he then reconnected with his optical brain, and checked the messages he had missed in the past week.
The latest message was to remind him that a rescue reward of 50,000 star coins has come into his account. He squinted his eyes, and the payment party showed the Bounty Association, which was the money from Rocke Feller.
The initial agreement was to find the coordinates of the target and pay 20,000, if he was brought back alive, they’ll give him 150,000 star coins. But later, they encountered an avalanche, and Feller was taken away by the Desolate Star Rescue Team, so the credit probably doesn’t belong to him.
So, giving an extra 30,000 is considered extra hard work for rescuing him in ice crevasse?
Lu Liran pulled the corner of his mouth, it seemed that young master Feller’s life was not that valuable, this reward was a bit of a bargain and funny.
He glanced at the payment time again, it was the second day after the avalanche happened.
Lu Liran couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. Now that the remuneration has been remitted, what kind of remuneration did Rocke Feller want to discuss with him?
He lowered his eyes to stir the cub’s supplementary food, and fed him another mouthful, mentally calculating the motive of the young master Feller for coming here.
After more or less reaching the end, Lu Liran continued to read other messages.
The communicator only supported the communication within the Desolate Star, and in Desolate Star, he didn’t make friends with many people, so most of the other messages came from Xiao Hei, the black market businessman he had befriended before.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
First, there’s a liquidation fee for the auction settlement, which was handed over to Xiao Hei before Lu Liran set off for Arlok.

Oe Olgjc ofia la kjr oeccs.
He looked through the chat history again, and found that the 8,000 star coins came in less than three hours after the avalanche happened. Whether Xiao Hei was sure that he could survive, or he didn’t know about the avalanche, it proved that the small businessman is a person who values integrity.
Lu Liran sent him a message back, indicating that he had received the payment, and by the way proved that he was still alive.
[Black market businessman: Great god!!!!]
Xiao Hei replied in seconds, and there was another series of exclamation marks.
[Black market business: Great god, wuwuwu, I was scared to death when I saw the news, but I knew you would definitely survive!!]
Lu Liran smiled and replied with one hand: [I didn’t bring special products this time]
[I’m not here to buy goods!!! Just here to express my greetings TAT]
Xiao Hei, with his baby face, looked at the chat box bitterly.
His great god really got to the point. While he does have a few beautifully priced bidding sheets on hand, he also wanted to ask the great god if he had any goods…but at least he can exchange some pleasantries first!
[How long does great god plan to rest before starting again?]
Lu Liran replied: [Depending on the situation]
Xiao Hei paused, then continued to inquire reluctantly——
[Where do you plan to go next time?]
Before Lu Liran could answer, the child, Lu Ziqian, felt that his papa was half-hearted, so he pouted and shook Lu Liran’s arm lightly.
Lu Liran lowered his head, and met the big eyes of his family Zai-Zai, who felt aggrieved by being left out in the cold, he immediately abandoned the black market businessman, and devoted himself to the feeding business.
After eating, Lu Ziqian felt sleepy, he leaned against Lu Liran tightly, and asked in a low voice: “Will Papa sleep with Zai-Zai?”
Lu Liran nodded, and walked into the bedroom with Lu Ziqian in his arms. The father and son slept in the same bed.
“Can Zai-Zai still see Papa when Zai-Zai wakes up?” The child pulled the quilt to over half of his face, leaving only a pair of round steel blue eyes exposed, looking at Lu Liran obediently and expectantly.
Lu Liran hesitated when he thought about going to an appointment at Feller’s garden later.
Coincidentally, the communicator popped up the latest news from the young master Feller, saying that he hadn’t thought carefully before, and he should let the guest take a good rest first, and reschedule the appointment time.
Lu Liran guessed that something happened to the young master, and he just said it in a high-sounding manner.
But he was so happy, he dropped the communicator and got under the covers.
“Of course Zai Zai can see Papa.” Lu Liran kissed Lu Ziqian on the forehead, “Papa is sleeping next to Zai-Zai, you can see me as soon as you open your eyes.”
With Lu Liran’s assurance, the child closed his eyes with peace of mind.
Lu Liran also closed his eyes, he was really tired, his body was overwhelmed by extreme exhaustion for several consecutive days, and within a few minutes, he immediately fell into a deep sleep.
The curtains closed silently, Jin Fei stood quietly outside the bedroom, his eyes bent as he looked at the big and small ones inside, and then quietly closed the door.
Lu Liran slept for nearly 12 hours.
During this period, Lu Ziqian woke up first, and when he opened his eyes. he saw his papa’s sleeping face. He immediately grinned happily and silently laughed, what papa promised will always be done!
The little guy didn’t make any noise after he woke up, he still lay obediently in Lu Liran’s arms, afraid that if he moved, he would wake his Papa up.
Later, when it was time to eat, Jin Fei came in gently and carried Lu Ziqian out.
When Lu Liran woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
After sleeping for so long, his whole body was sore and tired. After Lu Liran washed up, he resumed his usual exercise and fitness.
Lu Ziqian acted as his weight and hung on Lu Liran’s chest as he did squats. The little guy was so happy that he kissed Lu Liran several times.
Jin Fei was like a conscientious and good housekeeper, he was always by his side, staring at the little young master in fear, don’t loosen your hand and slam down.
Lu Liran spent two hours exercising, and processed the information that had not been processed during this period.
It was mainly Xiao Hei’s messages that he didn’t finish replying yesterday.
He has no idea of where to go for the time being. Every time he goes out, it’s a task given by the system. Where to go depends on the system, so he asked Xiao Hei to give him a list of required items first, and when the time comes, he will look at the region.
Xiao Hei saw that his great god had spoken so bluntly, so Xiao Hei immediately sent the list gratefully.
There is a long list, and the price at the top is the highest. A single dragon core eye is worth 400,000, but that’s in the heart of the earth-sand dragon. There were teams of ambitious people rushing to the desert, but no one has ever hunted it successfully, so the high value is justifiable.
Lu Liran looked at the one at the bottom of the list, which also had a high reward of 4,000 star coins per unit.
Xiao Hei is indeed a black market businessman who claims to have connections. Lu Liran knew very well that if he sold the items on the list, he probably wouldn’t be able to sell them at half of the above price.
Lu Liran replied with the word “Good”, and Xiao Hei immediately beamed with joy.
Then he remembered that Xian Yu dragged him into the fan group before, but he just added it and didn’t say anything, like a decoration. But even if he just entered the group, it still made a fuss.
When he opened the group chat, it had 999+, which was extremely lively.
As soon as Lu Liran sent “Hello everyone”, he was quickly submerged in the scrolling chat history.
Finally, someone found out, and took a screenshot for the group leader, saying how the group chat managed to have a “high-imitation” account, it’s non-compliant.
But the group leader, who came out, was none other than the “high-imitation” Lu Liran.
[……]
[Fuck, this can’t be the real Brother Lu, can it???]
[Ahhhhh Brother Lu is airborne!!! We are no longer a wild group! We are the official group!]
Wearing an administrator vest, the former group leader, Xian Yu, ran out: “That’s really the real Brother Lu!”
[Master Yu is awesome!]
[Brother Lu’s front row refills! Asking for a group photo, asking for a flop, asking for a voice recording, asking for an autograph!]
Xian Yu sent a private message to Lu Liran, asking him to chat a little more in the group.
Lu Liran didn’t know what to say, so he introduced a few words as he did during the live broadcast. He felt that his words were a bit dry and flat, but it seemed that the response in the group was still enthusiastic.
[Wuwuwu, wow, my ears seem to automatically repeat brother Lu’s words, “Hello everyone, I am an expert in wilderness survival…”]
[Me too, me too!!]
[Obviously it’s only been a day since I didn’t see Brother Lu’s live broadcast, but I feel like it’s been a long time]
[Brother Lu begging for live broadcast highlights! Fans’ screen recordings are so blurry, I want high-definition like in this live broadcast room!!!]
[Yes! I beg Brother Lu’s official collection to renewed life]
Lu Liran looked at the official highlights posted in the chat box, and paused slightly. He didn’t have such a thing, and he didn’t prepare in advance. Naturally, it was impossible to have an edited version of the highlights this time.
Just as he was about to reply, an active reminder from the system sounded in his mind:
“The system has automatically generated the highlight clips and the high-quality edited video for the host, which can be exchanged for special products of Arlok Snow Mountain.”
“Blood of the jumping sheep (0/1 liter), falling dream grass (0/1 kilogram), the host can choose whether to exchange it.”
Lu Liran raised his eyebrows. This was the first time the system asked him for something in kind, which was a bit like a double-arrow transaction. Since the system asked him for physical objects, does that mean it also needs these things to upgrade, or repair or something like that? It would not ask for these things for no reason.
In just a few breaths, Lu Liran’s mind turned several corners, almost breaking the old bottom of the system.
The system was able to detect the thoughts in Lu Liran’s mind, and it was a little unnatural, as it added: “The videos produced by the system are good to watch, and will definitely not cheat neither old nor young, do you want it or not?”
Of course Lu Liran wanted it, these two kinds of specialties were not worth much. One kilogram of falling dream grass is only two or three hundred star coins, and he has jumping sheep blood readily available.
After the exchange, two versions of the video appeared in Lu Liran’s optical brain.
An unknown background music played, combined with Lu Liran’s self-introduction and explanation in the live broadcast, as well as the editing and the transition of the screen, there’s an indescribable excitement.
Lu Liran only watch the beginning of the two versions and knew that the exchange was worth it.
So worth it.
He uploaded the two versions of the video to the homepage of the live broadcast one after another, and then shared it with the fan group.
Sure enough, the fan group also exploded.
The high-quality one-and-a-half-minute action packed clip was the easiest to get popular, and the nearly one-hour highlights clips include all the high-action plots in Lu Liran’s live broadcast.
This kind of video editing workload, to say the least, requires a professional post-production team to get it done in such a short period of time.
Fans called the anchor professional and rich.
Lu Liran: No, very poor.
[Ding—— you have a new live broadcast platform notification]
A chat box popped up in the background of Lu Liran’s live broadcast room——
[Congratulations to anchor Lu Liran for getting the platform’s official signing and promotion opportunities. Click on the link to read the detailed signing benefits, and the matching agent will contact you within 24 hours]
[The live broadcast platform has detected that you have published video works. After signing the contract, all the videos you publish in the live broadcast room will get exposure and promotion opportunities. Every time the video clicks exceed 10,000, you will also receive 100 star coins as a subsidy reward]
The author has something to say:
Brother Lu: Sign, of course. No matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat
Brother Lu: Let me see how much money I earned from this live broadcast
Brother Ke-long legs-Ji: Wife, look at me! look at me!
ps, have you ever wondered if Brother Lu’s group account really exists (doge (future benefits are all inside!)
Sunnyshies: I rarely watch live broadcast, I only watched Vlive with BTS before, so I don’t know…but didn’t the platform automatically recorded the live broadcast in the anchor’s account, so that the viewers can watch the replays anytime?
I don’t understand Korean, so after watching BTS live blindly, I will watch the replays again, since that one already has subs…
Anyway, I remember what I forgot before, I forgot to edit ch 27!
I don’t know about other platforms but in twitch, although it’s automatically recorded, the content creator still has to publish the stream after it’s done for it to stay on the page and allow watchers to revisit it. I follow a person who only streams for funnies and they have never been bothered to figure out how to do it so I can only try to catch it live ;-;
P.S thx for the chapter 💜 for some reason I really have my guard down about the system, mc’s speculation kinda felt like foreshadowing to me, it’s a bit tense~
If Ke Ji meets the cub the truth will get exposed straight away, so I’m betting we won’t see them meet for the first time until chapter 100 maybe chapter 50 if the author is feeling kind to us.
Now the question is, will the author have our two dashing leads continue working together, or will Ke Ji only pop up between missions?
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I watch a lot of YouTube lives, and streams less than 12 hours are automatically saved to the account— after that some footage will be lost unless you started a new stream—and the streamer has the option to publish/hide/delete it, etc.
Thanks for the chapter!😊
I caught up! ૧(ꂹີωꂹີૂ)
So excited to read more, this story got me addicted so fast. Sunnyshies, you’re such an awesome translator and I thank your hard work, your definitions and images definitely helped to contextualize everything much better!
Fighting, excited to read more with everyone else (˘︶˘).｡.:*♡
Welcome~! Hahaha +｡ﾟφ(ゝω・｀○)+｡ﾟ
Please 🙏 I hope the ml is not blind to not see his son zai zai like the ml in dear Benjamin 😭 LIKE COME ON! THAT CHILD IS A MINI VERSION OF YOU! (°ㅂ°ꐦ)
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
So, it was just a ONS between them? And neither of them really saw the face of the other? Just a smexy heat time? Still confused about that lol
Thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶
I think there’s a high possibility that Lu Liran went into heat and Ke Ji, to calm him down but also stabilize his own mental energy before a very important battle, temporally marked him when they… well you know lol. Also Lu Liran doesn’t seem to be aware of the identity person he slept with? At the very least, he didn’t know that person was his commander.
This makes it much more logical that he doesn’t realize that this Ke Ji and the commander are the same; even if he did figure out his identity, he would necessarily be aware that he’s Zai-Zai’s father!
What a nice system. Good benefits considering the cost.
Ah and the baby, he’s such a sweetheart. I wish author would just write mc spending his time with his cub for a couple chapters. It would be the sweetest filler. I can only wish though:”)
