(Two in one) No man’s land under the black wind and sand
…
Early the next morning, just after Lu Liran finished his morning exercise, the bell rang outside the door.
“Room service.” The gentle and warm voice of the young lady sounded from outside.
Jin Fei opened the door blankly, and saw two hotel attendants pushing a dining cart in.
“We didn’t ask for food delivery service.” Jin Fei politely declined—— the cost of meals in Star City Central Hotel was astonishingly expensive, and they couldn’t afford it.
“This is from young master Feller.” The attendant smiled and opened the glass cover on the dining car, “This is milk cake and jade soybean milk specially prepared for the cub. Young master Feller noticed that Mr. Lu’s cub liked these two desserts extra, so he ordered us to prepare one and deliver it everyday in the future.”
Seeing that it was for the little young master, Jin Fei hesitated and looked at Lu Liran.
Lu Liran said: “Then accept it, please thank Feller for me.”
“Okay, Mr. Lu. Please enjoy your meal.” The attendant turned around and left with a smile on her face.
Lu Liran said to Jin Fei: “Call Ziqian to get up, I’ll take a shower first.”
“Okay.” Jin Fei nodded in response.
He turned around and walked into the cub’s bedroom, and gently approached the little Zai-Zai on the bed, then softly coaxed Lu Ziqian to get up.
The little guy, who was woken up, didn’t get up angry, but sat quietly on the bed for a while, and then followed the actions of the housekeeper, Uncle Jin, to get dressed and wash up.
Today, he is wearing a grass green little turtle hoodie. The huge turtle shell on the back looks particularly cute, like the little guy carrying a turtle shell on his back.
When Lu Liran came out of the bathroom, he saw the back of the child and couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Out of strange and evil tastes, Lu Liran always likes to buy all kinds of animal hoodies for his Zai-Zai.
“Papa!!!” Lu Ziqian turned his head and happily rushed into his papa’s embrace.
Lu Liran picked up little Zai-Zai and strode towards the dining table.
“Ah, it’s the cake from yesterday.” Lu Ziqian’s eyes lit up when he saw the new dessert on the dining table.
So for breakfast, the little boy ate more than usual, until his little belly was bulging.
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.
The housekeeper, Uncle Jin, stared at the two milk cakes and jade soybean milk, as if staring at some rival in love, and secretly vowed to make delicious desserts that the little young master loves.

Lu Liran was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that they should have detected the token that Feller gave him yesterday, which he just casually put into his terminal.
The father and son walked along with two directors in white coats.
It was the first time for Lu Ziqian to experience the 1v1 service without queuing. The young lady, who did the examination for him, was especially gentle and lovely. She stuffed him with candy and asked him if he was afraid.
The child grabbed the candy in his hand, blushing with excitement.
“Zai-Zai is not afraid. Zai-Zai will protect Papa when he grows up, and he will not be afraid of anything.” The child, Lu Ziqian, said to the gentle young lady.
“What a good boy, ah, wu, you’re cheating me to also have a baby!” The young lady bit her lip, her heart melted.
While comparing the previous physical examination data, she said to the little boy: “You can call Papa to come in.”
“Okay~” Lu Ziqian jumped off the chair and ran out the door.
After a few seconds, Lu Liran came in from the door.
The doctor sister raised her head subconsciously to say hello. After being shocked by Lu Liran’s appearance for a second, she then calmly said: “Hello, are you the family member of the patient Lu Ziqian?”
Lu Liran nodded.
“You know your cub’s heart condition very well, right?” She first confirmed with Lu Liran the degree of mutual understanding of the condition. After all, the doctor who treated Lu Ziqian was not herself, and both parties need to get to know each other again.
“Well, I know. You can tell me directly.” Lu Liran replied, he noticed the name on the other party’s badge, Yao Ruocheng, “Doctor Yao.”
“That’s good.” Yao Ruocheng sighed softly, “Your cub’s heart is a congenital problem, and Desolate Star’s medical level can’t cure it. At best, it can maintain stability, or try not to let the symptoms of the disease expand.”
“However, judging from the physical examination this time, he has become resistant towards the medicine he was taking, and the progress of the treatment is not very satisfactory. I suggest changing the medicine.” Yao Ruocheng said.
Lu Liran trembled indistinctly, and suddenly tightened his arms.
“Don’t be too nervous. The little guy’s heart has not deteriorated at the moment. I just remind you in advance.” Yao Ruocheng pursed her lips, she looked at Lu Liran, she hesitated a little, but still said, “However, the price of new medicine is high, and the production is very small. Judging from Lu Ziqian’s demand, it will be a huge sum of money.”
Lu Liran quickly said: “Money is not a problem.”
Yao Ruocheng glanced at him, with a bit of pity and intolerance, she paused and said: “In addition to the new medicine, I suggest that you can take it with a wild plant fruit. The effect will be better, and it will also be more targeted at Lu Ziqian’s current heart problem, and it will buy you more time.”
“It’s just that the wild fruit I’m talking about can’t be bought in pharmacies, and it’s hard to see in the market. It is a creature that grows in the desert. It is a bug that clings to the roots during the day. At night, it curls up into a cocoon, it is like this everyday, and what you need is the cocoon that it sheds, which is called a sand cocoon.”
“I have written down the method of eating, usage and dosage, and you can go back and think about it slowly.” Yao Ruocheng said, getting up to see off the guests, “I will also help you pay attention to these, and I will inform you of news. You don’t have to be too stressed. Now take the medicine I rationed for you and you can last for a while.”
“What if he also develops resistance to the new medicine?” Lu Liran asked the other party with pursed lips.
Yao Ruocheng paused: “Then only the sand cocoon can delay it.”
“Or it depends on luck. I also treated a case like his, and they warily lasted until adulthood, and because of the gender differentiation, the hole in the heart was inexplicably filled. There are also such miracles.” She reassured.
Lu Liran didn’t speak, he never believed in miracles, he only believed in the man’s victory over heaven.
Lu Liran left the hospital with the little guy in his arms, and a medical fee of 350,000 star coins was quickly debited from his account—— This was already after Feller’s VIP discount, and the examination fee was exempted—— The newly prescribed medicine can be taken for three months, this disease really burns money.
On the way back, he opened the account withdrawal system of the live broadcast platform to check how much money he had on hand that could be dispatched.
The two videos released before have been exposed as recommended positions in the S-level contract. The edited version produced by the system must be a high-quality product since the number of views was not low.
The total playback volume of a one-and-a-half-minute video is actually 235,000, which translates to 2350 star coins. The platform subsidies for video playbacks are really not much. The most important thing is the advertising exposure shared under the video. With more than 200,000 playback volume, there is a full 30,000 star coin revenue share;
The one-hour video had only 78,000 views, which translates to only 780 stars coins. But the finished broadcast volume is extremely high, and the exposure share of the advertisement is several times higher than the short video, and the total arrival is actually 130,000 star coins.
In addition, the reward statistics in the previous few days of live broadcast, rice grains (50 cents for 100 grains) and sushi (one coin), plus sukiyaki pot, top Wagyu beef, white truffle, and Buddha jumping over the wall. The corresponding exchange amounts are five coins, ten coins, fifty coins, and one thousand coins, and the platform will take 40% of it, while the rest is Lu Liran’s.
Xian Yu and a few local tyrants contributed about 20 Buddha jumping over the wall—— most of them were Xian Yu’s—— and there were also many other rewards, which were converted into nearly 30,000 star coins.
At the end of a live broadcast, just looking at the income from the platform, there are 200,000 star coins, which is almost double that of Lu Liran’s usual bounty tasks, and the bounty task compensation settlement or another calculation are not included.
Not to mention, if it hadn’t been for the avalanche encountered in Arlok this time, and there were also two Omega oil bottles by his side, It was inconvenient for Lu Liran to find glacier’s special products collection, otherwise with his usual style of never going back empty handed, a round of glacier’s special products can be sold for tens of thousands of star coins.
Bounty hunting is a high-risk job, but it also comes with a lot of rewards, otherwise Lu Liran would not have owned an independent building at the beginning, and could easily live in the expensive suite of Star City Central Hotel.
The income of the live broadcast room really exceeded Lu Liran’s estimate, he exhaled slowly, and his heart became hot——
This was his first live broadcast. With the increase in exposure and recommendations, the second and third live broadcasts will only bring higher and higher popularity gains. As long as there are stable and solid supporters and viewers, he can even do other things…
Lu Liran calculated in his heart, it won’t be long until he gathers the cost of the ship ticket.
He then asked Xiao Hei to post a high-value purchase order for sand cocoons, 3,000 star coins each. The black market businessman was so surprised that he double-checked the amount, worrying about him adding an extra zero.
Although the purchase order was posted, not many people were willing to accept the order.
Ordinary bounty hunters are reluctant to enter places like the desert.
Not to mention the elusive snakes and scorpions in the desert, the sand dragon, a creature that only exists in legends, which can not only hide from the surface of the ground, but also fly into the sky and blow the sand, which is enough to deter most bounty hunters.
What makes bounty hunters even more uneasy is the harsh living conditions in the desert. The scorching sun above their heads can easily dehydrate people in less than a day. During the day it was hot enough to burn the skin, but at night it was as cold as Arlok.
Even if the bounty hunters can store some rations and water in their terminals, it is still very limited.
Water itself is the foundation of survival in the wild, and it is even more precious in the desert. Most interstellar bounty hunters do not have the ability to survive desperate situations like Lu Liran.
This is why the prices of desert specialties are generally higher. The rarer the things the more expensive, but most of the things brought out cost one or two lives behind them.
Strange creatures like sand cocoons that are insects during the day and turn into cocoons at night are extremely rare. Even if someone has seen it, they will not recognize the medicinal value of such a thing, let alone pick up a few empty cocoons.
Therefore, even though Lu Liran offered a high price of 3,000 star coins each, he only received twelve sand cocoons, while Lu Ziqian had to take five regularly every week.
Lu Liran contacted the seller and asked where he got the sand cocoon, and also asked if he could be his desert guide and take him to the collection point of the sand cocoon.
The other party’s reaction was far beyond Lu Liran’s expectations.
The man reacted violently. When Lu Liran asked him where he picked the cocoons, he shouted “I don’t know, I don’t know anything”, “I’m just selling something”…
Lu Liran tried to wait for the person’s emotions to calm down before communicating, but he did not expect the other party to be pushed to the point of desperation. His face turned pale and ugly, his eyes passed Lu Liran absent-mindedly, and looked towards an unknown distance, muttering incessantly:
“None of my business, none of my business.”
“They’re all dead, they’re all dead.”
“I can’t go, I will die if I go, there are monsters.”
“Black wind and sand, black and gold back, two big glistening yellow lanterns that roar low and growl.”
“As soon as a person enters, there is a bang, and they turn into a blood mist…”
Seeing this, Lu Liran frowned slightly, if he continued to ask, the man might have a nervous breakdown.
Obviously, there must be something in the place where the man picked up the sand cocoon that wiped out the other party’s team. This person survived by luck, but that memory has become a monster that stimulates and tortures the other party all the time.
»Yao Ruocheng pursed his lips, she looked at..« her lips
».. this disease really burn money.« burns money (?)
The situation is not good D: I guess the next expedition goes into the desert and I wonder if and if yes, how KJ will join him.
Thx for the ch ٩( >ヮ<)۶
Nice thanks!
I wonder when he’ll tell others about the urgent need for money he has, most of his “friends” (ml, fans) are rich and would solve the issue in a second.
Ke Ji should hurry up and recognize him. I’m worried about the heart disease, it’s really life threatening
Thanks for the chapter
Even if Ke Ji made the announcement tomorrow, that wouldn’t help the cub. The explosion within the nearby nebula means that travel away from the Desolate Star is impossible. Not only that, Ke Ji is hated there.
Looks like he’ll have to go to the desert … eek! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🏜️
As soon as the desert was brought up last chapter, I was certain that would be the next area Lu Liran would venture to. Now to see how Ke Meiran weasels his way onto the adventure.
Lu Liran: I’m not going back to the desert
Doctor: All the important medical things your cub needs is from the desert
Liu Liran: packing up desert supplies god fucking damn it
Lu Liran: ready to risk everything for his cub like the wonderful and amazing papa he his.
I hope that he can go to a better and more advanced stars to fully treat zaizai. I wonder if he would find the lu family and possibly be accepted? However, something tells me that they might have a conflict since he’s an omega but is in the army, so the family might not like him if gender roles are a big thing in the society, but the lu family is renowned for being overprotective of their cubs so I’m not sure about the outcome.
The medication nonsense is annoying, believe in science people.
Haha mc likes to feed his husband with strange animals and also likes to dress his son with animal clothes. Poor father son pair
