She thought exchanging for one or two would already be impressive. She never expected Carl to be so generous, directly offering ten. Such a generous sucker was hard to come by. Her heart was brimming with joy. Little did she know, Carl was only this generous with her. When trading with other star systems, he was quite the penny-pincher. "Deal," Shen Yunyun said cheerfully. Carl looked at her, her eyes reflecting the brilliant starry river. He loved seeing her smug and pleased little expression—it was incredibly cute. She was different from all the other women in the galaxy. Her body radiated passion and abundant vitality, unconsciously drawing people in, making them want to get closer. He even wanted to keep her in the Seth Star System, to make her his lifelong partner. He wanted to have children with her—without her needing to get pregnant or endure the pain of childbirth—they could still have their own kids. Why wouldn't she agree? Could she already have a husband on Blue Star? Thinking this, Carl felt a twinge of disappointment. Shen Yunyun had no idea what Carl was thinking; her mind was entirely occupied with how much she had profited. "Then I'll go back and prepare, and we'll officially proceed with the trade," Shen Yunyun said, turning to leave. "Miss Yunyun, don't you want to go see the girls from Blue Star?" Carl quickly found an excuse to keep her there when he saw she was about to leave. Shen Yunyun had already forgotten about those girls, feeling a bit guilty inside. She quickly covered for herself: "I was planning to drop by and see them after the next trade, bring them some clothes. Since you want me to go now, I'll go take a look." Carl could clearly see she had no intention of visiting them at all, but he didn't call her out on it. He led Shen Yunyun to another place, where all the women were gathered. The adults and minors had already been separated. As she approached, three adult women happened to be lying in capsule pods, as if asleep. "What's this for?" "Egg retrieval," Carl said. Shen Yunyun: "You're not still thinking about mass-producing babies, are you?" "No, but we also won't let one person have many offspring—it's not good for the unity of the star system. So we'll select ten males to pair with one female, ensuring the eggs aren't wasted and that these children don't share the same father, allowing their descendants to exchange genes with another group's offspring." Shen Yunyun pursed her lips: "Even if the paternal line isn't from the same father, the maternal line is. The problem you're worried about isn't solved at the root." Carl's silence was deafening. Seeing Carl didn't speak, Shen Yunyun stayed quiet too. Let him digest that properly. And indeed, Carl took some time to digest it. From the records passed down by their ancestors, he knew that Blue Star had once had a matriarchal society. If Miss Yunyun hadn't pointed out the flaw in their approach, their star system would eventually evolve into a matriarchal one too. "So what do you suggest?" "Follow the laws of nature." Carl fell silent. Following the laws of nature wasn't easy, because people are greedy. If there weren't so many desires, people wouldn't be so exhausted. Shen Yunyun made a show of looking over the minor females again; they were all well taken care of. They had once been the caretakers, and now they were the ones being cared for, and by robot dogs no less. They seemed to be adapting quite well.
