Pet Baby, Part 2

Ye Mo couldn’t help but laugh. If the owner of the Pet Baby website knew that she had an endless supply of puppet dolls, would he cry? And later, when he realized how much money would be involved in their transactions, would he regret it?

“Are you sure you want to sign the contract, Pet Baby official?” Ye Mo asked seriously. After all, the transaction fee was one percent, and for a deal worth 650 million, that is a significant amount.

“Yes, we’re sure. Our boss needs a child, not more star coins!”

“Alright, then let’s sign the contract. Make sure you honour the terms because I really don’t want to end up in court with you.” Ye Mo smiled. She didn’t seek them out; they came to her. There was no way they could back out now.

Quickly, Ye Mo brought in two witness lawyers via an online meeting, and they signed the contract.

After the contract was signed, Ye Mo put baby formula and milk melons up for sale. In fact, the formula was made from the milk melons she had grown. Ye Mo had originally planted a large amount in her personal space, fearing her little ones wouldn’t have enough to eat. But soon, her space became overrun with milk melons.

Even though they were in abundance, Ye Mo didn’t let the old butler get rid of them. Once she started making puppet dolls, she’d already considered their food source. She couldn’t provide much, but she could definitely supply milk melons.

The formula and milk melons weren’t cheap, but for those buying children, this was a trivial cost.

As soon as Ye Mo listed the milk melons and formula, they were instantly purchased by none other than the wealthy woman who had bought the first puppet doll. Ye Mo felt a bit speechless.

Ye Mo left a message on her account, stating that the formula and milk melons were long-term products. There was no need to hoard them. She also set some limits: daily purchase caps and the requirement that only those confirmed to have a child could buy. The system would scan the child’s face before allowing the purchase.

This move made people start speculating whether Ye Mo was a transcendent plant master. After all, the milk melons were a new fruit no one had seen before. Surely, only a master could cultivate such a thing, right?

Some people began to wonder if Ye Mo had connections to such a master. But she didn’t bother responding to any of these wild speculations.

Because of the contract with Pet Baby, Ye Mo quickly finalized another deal with the website’s owner for a handsome boy, just as he had requested.

The owner of Pet Baby was ecstatic—he finally had a child.

During this time, Ye Mo did a bit of investigating and found out that the person who wanted a beautiful girl was a woman, not some creepy man. So, she listed a beautiful girl for 800 million, specifically for that customer.

The woman immediately purchased the doll. Even from just the photos online, anyone could see that the girl was stunning. She made everyone who saw her smile with delight.

“Boss, I also want a beautiful child—boy or girl, it doesn’t matter. I’m willing to pay 10 billion.” Someone eagerly left a message.

Ten billion? Ye Mo found this person suspicious. She quickly did some digging and found that he was a successful man in his forties. The most concerning part was that he had never gone through gene matching and had previously adopted two children, both of whom had tragically died.

Ye Mo didn’t believe children could just die so easily. This man had surely done something to cause their deaths.

Ye Mo discovered that the man lived in District 1. She immediately contacted Lan Feng to investigate him further—why had the children in his care died?

The man had probably thought that his offer of 10 billion would make Ye Mo contact him, but instead, she started investigating him.

Until she had more clarity on who he was, Ye Mo decided to pause her puppet doll sales. Initially, the transactions had seemed fine, but now she felt she had acted impulsively.

What if these children ended up in the hands of dangerous people?

Fortunately, her first sale had been a stroke of luck—the buyer genuinely wanted a child and wasn’t a predator.

Now, Ye Mo has begun drafting new auction rules. To participate in the auctions, buyers had to apply first. Each auction would be limited to ten participants, and all ten would need to pass thorough background checks and be officially certified as having no criminal records.

When Ye Mo laid out these new rules, even the Pet Baby website owner was confused. Did this woman have an endless supply of children to sell?

He suddenly had the feeling he might lose out on this deal.

But when he looked down at the adorable puppet in his arms, he thought to himself, “Forget it. With this little treasure, I’ve already won. I won’t fuss about the rest.”

The owner carried the child out to the garden, happy that his mother and wife were taking their usual afternoon naps. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the chance to hold the child.

However, just as he stepped outside, he ran into his father. Usually, the old man kept a reserved demeanour, but around his son, he was different. “Hand over the child! Let me hold them for a while!”

“Dad, I just got a turn!”

“I don’t care! Since the child arrived, I haven’t had a chance to hold him.” The old man’s eyes were already welling up.

Seeing his father’s emotion, the owner softened and handed over the child. He noticed how naturally his father held the baby, which could only mean that he had been secretly practicing.

He knew how much his mother and wife adored the child. They usually fought over who got to hold the baby, leaving no chance for anyone else. Clearly, his father had been practicing with a pillow!

At that moment, the Pet Baby owner pushed aside all his earlier doubts. The contract was already signed, and even if he regretted it now, there was no turning back. Besides, his family didn’t lack star coins—there was no point in overthinking it.

After Ye Mo introduced her new regulations, many people rushed to apply. She quickly set up a support team online, specifically tasked with helping her vet these applicants to ensure they had no bad habits or criminal tendencies.

The management of this team was handed over to Ye Mo’s old butler. She trusted his abilities.

Ye Mo picked the first ten applicants from the pool and posted their names to the support team, offering a reward for accurate and thorough investigations.

In truth, this support team was more like a task force. Most of its members were civilians, handpicked by Mo Mo0 to be Ye Mo’s eyes and ears across the different districts and planets. Each location had three or four people who loved gathering information, making it easier to get local news.

*I just recently found out that the Kamo Star and other stars that have names to it like Blue Sky Star should be written as Planet Blue Sky because star and planet are different. I am sorry for the mistake because of my stupidity 😅😁 *
