Interstellar Farming: I Make Potions and Climb to the Top

That man was named Zhang Nan, exactly 25 years old, and had graduated from the Federal First Military Academy two years ago. His spiritual power level had been stagnant at A-level for nearly 10 years.

However, his Companion Spirit was an Elite Level Golden Hamster, which made him extremely skilled at finding treasures and sensing danger. From their previous conversation, it was also evident that he possessed extraordinary talent in reconnaissance, terrain surveying, and wilderness survival.

Zhang Nan had keen intuition and meticulous observation skills when it came to reconnaissance and analysis. He could quickly extract key clues from chaotic information and integrate them with environmental factors for comprehensive analysis. Whether it was an enemy’s movement patterns or potential danger signals, he could deduce the truth behind them through the tiniest traces. He could discover hidden treasures or warn of potential dangers thanks to his sharp sense of smell and perception abilities.

Additionally, Zhang Nan’s understanding of terrain was unparalleled. He excelled at using terrain advantages to formulate tactics. Whether in jungles, deserts, mountains, or urban ruins, he could quickly adapt and find the best hiding spots or attack routes. His Golden Hamster Companion Spirit could sense dangerous areas in advance, such as swamps, traps, or unstable geological structures, helping Zhang Nan avoid potential threats. Furthermore, Zhang Nan was proficient in map-making and terrain memorization, capable of remembering complex terrain features in a short time and applying them flexibly in combat. He was also an expert in wilderness survival skills, able to build temporary camps, find water and food with limited resources, remain calm in extreme environments, and formulate escape plans. His Companion Spirit, the Golden Hamster, could also help him find edible plants, avoid dangerous beasts, and even guide him to safety in moments of crisis.

These positive attributes were evaluations given by military units that had worked with Zhang Nan before. He must have cherished this opportunity, bringing along a series of personal documents. Ning Xuan had initially wanted to ask why, despite his excellence, he didn’t have a stable team.

Now, seeing his nervous and embarrassed anger, Ning Xuan seemed to understand the reason.

Zhang Nan had left, and Ning Xuan originally didn’t want to get involved in someone else’s personal affairs. However, that woman hadn’t stopped her shouting when Zhang Nan left; instead, she yelled even louder. Earlier she had been demanding her Contractor be released, and now she was yelling for the woman inside to get out.

When Ning Xuan saw Di Youlin rush out angrily, she suddenly realized she was probably the only woman in the entire villa.

Without their Contractor’s orders, males were not allowed to lay hands on females. Knowing Di Youlin’s temper, Ning Xuan feared he might kill someone with a single blow, so she quickly followed him out.

"You, what are you trying to do? You lowly half-beastman slave, don’t think you can commit violence just because you have a master backing you. I, Hua Ziyin, am not someone to be trifled with," said the plump woman in her thirties, who was hiding behind Zhang Nan while putting on a brave front.

In front of her stood two tall, terrified young men who, compared to women, could more keenly sense the spiritual power pressure emanating from Di Youlin.

As for Zhang Nan, in just a few minutes, his face had acquired several bright red slap marks, and his body bore several bloody whip lashes. The woman’s pudgy fingers were now digging into a wound on Zhang Nan’s arm, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Youling, slap her twice for me," Ning Xuan ordered coldly after hearing this person dare to insult Di Youlin.

Hearing Ning Xuan’s instruction, Di Youlin knew she was letting him vent his anger. He flashed in front of the woman and delivered two sharp slaps—SMACK, SMACK! The woman felt her ears ringing and her face burning hot. Her ordinary teeth had loosened, and her already plump cheeks swelled even more.

"You, you all... are bullying me. This is too much!" Hua Ziyin stumbled back several steps. Since Ning Xuan had a higher level, striking her would go unpunished. With the force of these two slaps, she didn’t dare continue cursing and instead put on a brave front while shouting.

Then, she vented all her anger on Zhang Nan, ordering him to kneel. Her whip cracked against Zhang Nan’s body. After a few lashes, feeling unsatisfied, she directly started tearing at his clothes.

With an ugly expression, Zhang Nan grabbed Hua Ziyin’s hand. "I just told you, I’ll go back with you. If you want to humiliate and torture me, don’t soil someone else’s place." Zhang Nan and Chen Nan were classmates who had been on missions together. Zhang Nan had once saved Chen Nan’s life during a mission.

Recently, when Chen Nan was out shopping, he saw Zhang Nan being stripped and publicly beaten by Hua Ziyin, and only then realized how badly he was being treated.

Chen Nan had recommended him this time hoping to help improve his situation. Zhang Nan greatly valued this opportunity. He wanted to use this trip to the New Star Body to try to breakthrough to S-Class. If he could break through to S-Class, he would be able to free himself from Hua Ziyin.

Hua Ziyin shook off Zhang Nan’s hand and had the other two men hold him down, forcibly putting an Imprisonment Ring on him before continuing to tear at his clothes.

"You scum, still daring to fight back? Still want to go on missions to earn money? You’re hiding money you earn outside, and I can’t find it anywhere. Maybe I should send you to the red-light district—at least then all you earn would come to me." Hua Ziyin’s face twisted as she spoke.

Just as Zhang Nan was about to be completely stripped, the Imprisonment Ring around his neck suddenly opened. Zhang Nan broke free from restraint and pushed Hua Ziyin, making her stumble.

"You dare push me? Do you want to die?" Hua Ziyin was furious after recovering from the shock.

"Contractor, look at his eyes—he’s about to mutate!" One of Hua Ziyin’s Contractors quickly stepped forward to stop her. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Hua Ziyin’s spiritual power level was only C-level, and her Companion Spirit was also low-level. She couldn’t effectively clear Zhang Nan’s Mutated Value. Using the Heterogenization Value Suppression Medicine too often could cause the body to develop immunity. As for better Alienation Value Clearing Potions, they were too expensive for ordinary people to afford.

Hua Ziyin took one look and saw that Zhang Nan’s face had suddenly grown many golden hair-like strands, and his eyes had turned bright red, flashing with a fierce light. Her legs instantly went weak, and she grabbed the arm of another Contractor, saying, "He’s turning feral! Quick, find someone from the Inspection Department!"

Zhang Nan glanced back at Chen Nan and saw him nod. Zhang Nan felt relieved. This wasn’t mutation; it was just a false appearance created by mobilizing his Bloodline Energy. About fifteen minutes later, before the Inspection Department arrived, someone from the Information Registration Center appeared.

"Miss Hua, because you are unable to soothe Contractor Zhang Nan’s spiritual power and clear his Mutated Value, Zhang Nan has submitted three applications to dissolve the contract. With Miss Ning Xuan as a witness this time, the Information Registration Center agrees to terminate your contract." The representative from the Information Registration Center announced on the spot.

Zhang Nan checked his personal information interface and saw that the Contractor page had been removed. Overcome with joy, he burst into tears, giving Ning Xuan a grateful look before his mind relaxed and he passed out.
