Chapter 839: Chapter 839: Becoming a Father

Qin Hao replied casually, “It’s my first time at a casino. How do you think I got that hand?”

Lan Xin asserted with certainty, “You must have cheated too, but your methods are more sophisticated, so we couldn’t detect it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been such a coincidence.”

Qin Hao gave a slight smile, neither admitting nor denying, “Miss Lan Xin, would you like something to eat?”

Lan Xin suddenly recalled past events, “No wonder I always lost when playing with those people; they must have been cheating.”

Qin Hao’s lips twitched. You needed to cheat to beat her? Any experienced player would find it easy to win against her.

Lan Xin looked at Luna and Jiao Rou and asked curiously, “Are these two beauties your female slaves? They’re quite pretty.”

Luna and Jiao Rou were indeed beautiful, but Lan Xin wasn’t inferior to them. With her excellent royal genetic heritage, she was perfect in every way.

Whether in looks, figure, or temperament, Lan Xin was not lacking at all. One could easily tell that Lan Xin was no ordinary person; a commoner wouldn’t carry this kind of aura.

Qin Hao nodded slightly, “An Elven princess, have you heard of it?”

Lan Xin was surprised, “This is an Elven princess? Where did you get her?”

Qin Hao replied indifferently, “At an auction. Although it was expensive, it was worth the money.”

Lan Xin asked, “Where are you planning to go?”

Qin Hao, “Divine Wind Star. I heard an Elven princess will be auctioned there in two months. I’m going to see if I can bid on a few more Elven princesses.”

Lan Xin laughed and said, “What a coincidence! I also plan to go to Divine Wind Star. Let’s go together.”

Qin Hao nodded slightly. This Lan Xin seemed to have some background, and she might come in handy later.

After dinner, Lan Xin said, “Where do you plan to go next? The casino is boring now.”

“I don’t know, just wandering around,” Qin Hao replied.

Lan Xin suggested, “How about we go to the game arcade? It’s more fun there with all sorts of simulation games.”

Qin Hao, having nothing better to do, followed her to the large game arcade on the spaceship. The place had even more people than the casino, with many seated at virtual simulators playing games.

The arcade wasn’t just for kids; there were even more adults playing.

Lan Xin led him to a game simulator, a cosmic spacecraft simulator that mimicked the feeling of speeding through the galaxy.

…

During the day, Qin Hao and Lan Xin went out to play, returning to their rooms at night. A month passed in the blink of an eye, with their spaceship stopping at many planets.

In one more day, they would reach Anning Star, where they needed to change spaceships before heading to their destination, Divine Wind Star.

That night, around ten o’clock, Qin Hao had just finished a “battle” with Luna and Jiao Rou when his communicator rang. It was Chang Jing calling.

Though Qin Hao was deep in the galaxy, his communicator was Earth-made, equipped with a signal receiving and transmitting device.

Despite some distance, it only caused a signal delay, but video calls were still possible.

Answering the call, Qin Hao asked, “How’s it going, Xiao Jing?”

Chang Jing smiled and said, “We have completely annihilated the Divine Wind Group’s fleet. Our control area is expanding, with our fleet patrolling thousands of surrounding planets. We have also begun extracting resources from many planets.”

Qin Hao nodded slightly, “That’s good. This experience should make the Divine Wind Group realize our strength. If they want to mess with us again, they’ll have to think long and hard.”

Chang Jing said, “We are currently producing various advanced warships at full capacity in our dozens of military bases. In half a month, we’ll have an organized interstellar fleet ready. We’ve already discovered some interstellar mining teams, but we’ve driven them away.”

Qin Hao, “Once the fleet is ready, send people to blockade the passage to the Endless Asteroid Belt and announce publicly that it belongs to the Galaxy Federation.”

After chatting for a while, Qin Hao briefed Chang Jing about his recent situation. Once the Divine Wind Star matter was settled, he would return to Lei Meng Duchy and prepare to launch his interstellar campaign.

Chang Jing also shared some good news: he had become a father. Du Wanrou had given birth to twins, and both mother and children were in good health.

Hearing this news, Qin Hao’s face lit up with a smile. I became a father? I became a father?

His excitement was evident, even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn’t suppress his inner joy.

That night, Qin Hao had a restless sleep, dreaming about his son and daughter, and of returning to Earth…

The next morning, Qin Hao woke up and sighed. But soon after, he looked more energetic than before, determined to finish his business here quickly and return home to see his children.

“Luna, Jiao Rou, wake up.” Qin Hao woke the two women, and after some tidying up, the three of them went downstairs.

Just as he was about to have breakfast, there was a knock on the door. Lan Xin walked in from outside, “Ritian, I’m here for breakfast.”

Qin Hao’s forehead was full of black lines upon hearing her address him, “Don’t you have breakfast in your place?”

Lan Xin laughed and said, “I just like eating at your place. Do you know how many people wish to have breakfast with me but don’t get the chance? You’re really lucky, you know?”

Qin Hao chuckled lightly, “Yes, yes, I’m very lucky.”

“Why aren’t you arguing with me today? You look really happy. Did something good happen? Share it with me,” Lan Xin asked curiously, seeing Qin Hao’s glowing face.

Qin Hao rolled his eyes at her, “What good thing could it be? I’m just happy that we’ll reach Anning Star today.”

Lan Xin could tell he was brushing her off and didn’t press further, “Do you want to explore Anning Star? The spaceship won’t leave until tomorrow anyway.”

“Where to explore? Are you familiar with Anning Star?” Qin Hao asked.

Lan Xin, “Don’t you know guides are a thing now? Just hire one. There will be many people offering their services when we get off the spaceship. We just need to find a reliable one.”

Qin Hao looked at her in surprise, “You seem quite familiar with this.”

“Of course, have you seen how many planets I’ve visited?” Lan Xin said proudly.

In the spaceship’s casino, Pei Yingcai woke up in the morning and was scolding the croupier again, “It’s all because of you! If it weren’t for you, would I have lost so much money?”

“Master, I’m sorry. Please forgive me,” the croupier pleaded.
