Purified Vitality Water

As soon as the wormhole was constructed, soldiers from the nearby planet, wearing mecha suits, were ready to test the transportation. The first to try it knew the risks—they were practically accepting a possible sacrifice. Despite the strength of their mecha suits, passing through a wormhole caused violent turbulence. A healthy person might suffer mild injuries, but for interstellar soldiers with deteriorating genes, the danger was much greater.

The first soldier to pass through was from District 8, where the genetic health levels were relatively higher. However, even this wormhole jump accelerated the deterioration of his genes.

Noticing the soldier’s worsening condition, Mo Mo fed him a vial of vitality water with a 30% concentration. It not only slowed the genetic deterioration but significantly improved the soldier’s genetic health.

Soon after, someone brought back water samples from the planet. After thorough research, scientists confirmed that the water was rich in vitality, ideal for repairing genetic health.

Mo Mo observed the water and concluded that its effect was similar to vitality water at only a 10% concentration.

Yan Mingke was ecstatic. “General Mo, I think we don’t even need to bother the beast tribes anymore. We can just explore the planets in these two star systems and gather what we need. Even the beast tribes wouldn’t dare enter this zone.”

Yan Mingke’s excitement was understandable. Without Mo Mo’s presence, even he wouldn’t have dared to lead the soldiers through this dangerous area.

Mo Mo raised an eyebrow. “We’ll still need to deal with the beast tribes, but for now, let’s focus on exploring this star system.” He then turned to the scientists. “Check the amount of vitality water reserves on this planet.”

“General, are we going to sell it?” one of the scientists asked, eyes gleaming. During the battles with the insect and beast tribes, these tech experts couldn’t get close enough to profit from the situation. But now, with stable work like this, they had a chance to cash in.

Mo Mo glanced at the scientists. “First, purify it. Let the interstellar soldiers use it. Once they’ve benefitted, we’ll think about selling.”

Excited, the scientists began their research. Meanwhile, Yan Mingke eagerly arranged for two trade stations to be built, one for District 7 and one for District 8, each on opposite sides of the water source, so they wouldn’t interfere with each other.

Both districts had their own scientists and engineers, so they could conduct independent research.

Mo Mo agreed to this arrangement. The area might be barren, but there were plenty of stones, making construction easy. Soon, both trade stations were built, and the scientists from each district started their research.

District 7 had little experience in purification, but Mo Mo’s people were well-versed, having purified the diluted vitality water that Mo Mo gave them before. This water was richer in vitality than what they’d encountered earlier, making it even easier to purify.

The interstellar soldiers from Mo Mo’s camp began taking turns visiting the trade station, where they started using vitality water with a 30% concentration. After drinking it, each soldier’s physical strength increased by at least a third.

Though their genetic health hadn’t reached 100%, the soldiers in District 8 now had genetic health levels above 40%.

Meanwhile, in District 7, Yan Mingke’s scientists worked hard to purify the water. After raising the vitality water concentration to 20%, they began administering it to their soldiers. Yan Mingke’s soldiers had genetic health levels as low as 10%, similar to Mo Mo encountered when he first met Ye Mo.

This time, Yan Mingke prioritized the soldiers with genetic health below 10%. After using the water, their health levels rose to over 20%, causing widespread excitement.

Luckily, Mo Mo’s soldiers weren’t the boastful type. Despite the entire District 8 force hiding their excitement, seeing the District 7 soldiers jumping for joy at their 20% genetic health improvements brought a bittersweet smile to their faces.

They remembered how thrilled they were the first time they ate fruits that improved their health. But now, they were much more composed, especially since District 8 had 30% vitality water, a fact they were determined to keep secret, lest the District 7 soldiers grow envious. This needed to be handled discreetly.

After all the District 8 soldiers had used the 30% vitality water, Mo Mo allowed the sale of 20% vitality water, which was still very effective.

District 7 soon followed suit, selling its own 20% vitality water.

The interstellar community erupted with excitement. Though it was only 20% vitality water, it was affordable at 10,000 star coins per vial. Middle-class families could afford it, though it remained out of reach for the lower classes, who were focused on basic survival, not luxury items like vitality water.

Ye Mo received samples of the water from that planet and studied it carefully. While it was indeed vitality water, it was far less potent than the one she possessed. The planet’s water only enhanced genetic health, unlike Ye Mo’s vitality water, which revitalized the entire body. The effects were worlds apart.

As soon as vitality water hit the market, Prince Caser bought a large supply, ensuring that even Yu Fengqi received a vial. After drinking it, Yu Fengqi finally woke up from his coma.

When Yu He saw her father awake, she broke down in tears and recounted the events surrounding the stolen child.

Yu Fengqi was furious. “Was it sold by a maid, or did she use a maid to sell it? Where are the star coins?”

Even if Zhang Yuming and Ye Mo had escaped into space, the star coins couldn’t have been taken along. As Ye Mo’s biological father, Yu Fengqi believed he had a right to inherit those coins.

Once he was awake, his first order of business was knocking on Ye Mo’s door.

The guards, recognizing him, immediately stopped him. They knew who Yu Fengqi was but had no positive impressions of him. They had read his file—this man had tried to sell both Ye Mo and the little ones. He was nothing but a scumbag father, through and through.

By the way, the guards had all recently received 30% vitality water and consumed it, raising their genetic health to over 50%. Their combat power had nearly doubled.
