"Good morning, Mom and Dad! The milk and eggs are warmed up already. Get up and have breakfast!"
"Big brother is absolutely right!"
Beside the bed, two little kids with pigtails tied high on their heads stood proudly, shouting at Han Qiwu.
"Han Bao is so well-behaved, great job. Today, I'll take you all to the Atlantis Secret Realm to play." Han Qiwu opened his eyes and ruffled the hair of his kids. "Go have your breakfast first, and after you're full, go find Grandpa Gongshu to learn forging. We still have so many small puppets at home that need upgrading."
"Okay, Dad." Han Bao immediately nodded, grabbed his sister Han Beibei's hand, and sprinted out of the room.
"Grandpa Gongshu, we're here to learn forging again!"
Hearing his son's voice, Tang Qingying poked her head begrudgingly out from under the blanket and lightly smacked Han Qiwu's head: "Back to the Atlantis Secret Realm again? Last time Han Bao told me he wanted to find a mermaid lady to play with. Can't you take him somewhere more interesting?"
Han Qiwu quickly placated her: "Alright, alright, then tomorrow I'll take him to the Desert Secret Realm to pick coconuts, okay? But I've already promised the kids for today; I can't break my word."
"Fine. I'll keep researching Heat-Resistant Potato No. 16 today. You still have an interview to attend, so don't forget." Tang Qingying replied as she got out of bed.
Han Qiwu pulled Tang Qingying into his arms, nuzzling her nose: "Don't worry."
After breakfast, the two lingered together chatting for a while. Then, Han Qiwu stepped out of their cozy villa and headed toward the nearby blacksmith shop, which was already billowing smoke.
This villa was a government reward. It was fully owned, spacious, and located in a quiet environment.
Soon after, Han Qiwu emerged from the blacksmith shop with two little steel doll-like figures with glowing red cheeks. Passing by the sprinkler system, he casually plucked a sprinkler head off and gave the little steel dolls a bath, drying them off with his hands afterward.
Clean little dolls again!
After dressing them in silk outfits, Han Qiwu held one in each hand and walked to the large clock statue beside the house. Reaching out, he chose to upgrade.
[Would you like to spend 5,000,000 gold to upgrade Gift of Fate to Stage Seven?]
"Yes."
As the funds were deducted, the already massive clock statue grew even larger.
[Gift of Fate (Stage Seven)]
[Currently fixed secret realms available for teleportation: Atlantis Secret Realm, Desert Secret Realm, Fallen Earth Secret Realm, Polar Secret Realm, White Dwarf Star Secret Realm, Dinosaur Secret Realm]
[Remaining secret realm draw chances: 2]
[Today's random status: Truffle Day]
[Truffle Day: Today, all truffles found by pigs in the pigsty will double in quantity, and quality will be fixed at Gold Star level]
[Today's randomly gifted supplies: [Iridium Ingots] ×50]
"This upgrade came with two secret realm draw chances. I'll save them for a Lucky Day; wouldn't want to waste the draws on blanks," Han Qiwu muttered while swiftly selecting Atlantis Secret Realm.
[Ticket cost 10,000 gold deducted]
As soon as the notification popped up, an imagery door adorned with marine bubbles and holographic ocean creatures appeared on the clock statue.
"Alright, off we go! We'll be back in an hour." Han Qiwu shouted, holding Han Bao and Han Beibei's hands as they walked through the glowing doorway.
"Yay! Time to find mermaid ladies to play with again!"
An hour later, the three reemerged through the glowing doorway, their clothes almost entirely soaked.
Standing ready at the entrance, Tang Qingying handed over three towels: "You had too much fun again, didn't you? Watch out, or you'll catch a cold."
"Dad said we're super healthy and won't catch a cold!" Han Bao declared proudly, tilting his chin upward.
Han Beibei chimed in sweetly in her childish voice: "Right! Dad also said we got our looks from Mom, so we won't have trouble finding a spouse!"
"Humph, for once your dad said something truthful." Tang Qingying hummed in satisfaction as she tossed the car keys to Han Qiwu: "Go on, the host called again to confirm just now."
"Got it." Without bothering to change clothes, Han Qiwu waved his hand over himself to dry his outfit instantly.
Arriving at the TV network's back entrance, Han Qiwu hadn't even stepped out of the car before spotting a gathering of people outside.
Unlike typical celebrity scenes, these fans were calm and rational. They had come just to meet Han Qiwu and express their heartfelt thanks and excitement.
Having dealt with such situations countless times, Han Qiwu shook a few hands briefly before heading into the studio.
When filming began, the nation's top female host, Hua Bing, faced Han Qiwu with a question: "Mr. Han, hello. We all know that you and your wife have won the World Agriculture Award five times and resolved the global staple crop replacement crisis. Your company is also one of the highest-valued companies worldwide. What personal insights do you have regarding agronomy?"
Grabbing the microphone, Han Qiwu smiled and replied: "I wouldn't call myself an expert — just someone who's walked a little further along the path paved by previous generations. My view on agronomy is simple: Everyone is an agronomist, and everyone is becoming an agronomist. Even growing a small scallion on your balcony is learning agronomy. What matters most is interest, and agriculture should always be valued, for the people regard food as their heaven."
"Absolutely right. Mr. Han, speaking of which, I'd like to take this opportunity to share a small suggestion with you personally." Host Hua Bing suddenly flashed a mischievous grin.
Han Qiwu nodded curiously: "What suggestion could that be?"
"Next time your company sells Thunder Milk, could you stock more of it? I can never manage to snag a bottle! The last time I finally got my hands on a box, the station chief took it for his kids! Also, could you sign more autographs? When my friends heard you were coming on the show, everyone started asking me for one." Hua Bing shrugged helplessly.
Han Qiwu grinned and nodded: "I haven't been feeling well lately, so this time might be it for me. But next time, I promise to sign a lot more."
Goodbye.
