Early the next morning, Song Yiran deliberately got up very early. After washing up, he went straight to the kitchen to start preparing food.

This was their family’s first trip together—something truly worth taking seriously.

The starship would depart in the morning and arrive at Karendel in the afternoon. He planned to prepare luxurious boxed meals in advance to eat on the way.

Since they were traveling, they had to eat well. For this, Song Yiran brought out his most treasured culinary skills.

He busied himself in the kitchen for an entire morning, making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Crab Stuffed with Egg White, Longjing Bamboo Fungus Soup, Eight-Treasure Glutinous Rice Duck, and Snow Lotus Stewed Snow Frog.

Then Song Yiran rummaged through the cupboard and took out insulated lunch boxes—interstellar-era insulated lunch boxes.

These lunch boxes had exceptionally powerful heat preservation. Whatever state the food went in, it would be in exactly the same state when taken out, with absolutely no change in texture or taste.

They could even freely set the insulation duration, with the longest setting able to keep food warm for up to three hundred years.

The first time he saw this product, he thought it was incredible—an insulated lunch box that could keep food warm for three hundred years!

Truly worthy of the interstellar era!

Song Yiran packed a lunch box for everyone, then found a large basket and put all the lunch boxes into it.

Technically, the light brain had a storage function, but he felt that personally carrying the lunch boxes made it feel more ceremonial.

When the lunch boxes were physically placed before his eyes, he could more tangibly feel that they were really setting out on a journey.

Next, he started preparing breakfast. Today, he planned to change things up a bit and make some snacks.

What should he make? How about egg pancakes!

As time passed, the kitchen gradually filled with people.

Little Song Fu was sitting in his seat, already so tempted by the aroma filling the kitchen that he was about to drool.

What delicious food is big brother making~? It smells so good!

Before long, breakfast was served. In front of everyone was a deluxe egg pancake.

“Babies, this morning we’re having egg pancakes!”

Song Fu was drooling over the egg pancake in front of him, but since it had just come off the griddle, it was still very hot and he couldn’t eat it right away.

So he desperately held back his drool while blowing on the egg pancake, hoping it would cool down faster.

Each egg pancake was generously filled. The golden pancake skin, mixed with egg liquid, wrapped around chicken cutlet, sausage, fish cake, lettuce, tofu skin, and shredded potatoes.

For the children, Song Yiran made mildly spicy egg pancakes, while for the adults, he made the regular spicy version.

Xiao Zhong’er had already started eating in big mouthfuls—after all, he was a system and wasn’t afraid of heat at all~

“Wow! Song Yiran, your egg pancakes are so delicious!”

Xiao Zhong’er buried his head in eating while squeezing in time to praise Song Yiran, looking extremely busy.

Song Yiran smiled. “As long as you like it.”

Song Yutu’s gaze darkened. Damn it—he’d been beaten to it by that guy 555!

He had wanted to praise big brother too, but he hadn’t expected to be one step late.

Damn it! He’d underestimated this so-called 555!

555 was actually terrifyingly formidable!

Song Yutu hurriedly added, “Actually, I wanted to say this just now—big brother, the egg pancakes you made are really delicious!”

“These are absolutely the best egg pancakes in the entire universe!”

Just as Song Yiran was about to accept the praise, he noticed a problem—the egg pancake in front of Song Yutu was still completely intact.

He suspiciously sized Song Yutu up from head to toe and asked with confusion in his tone, “But, Tutu, you haven’t started eating yet.”

Song Yutu: “……”

So awkward. How could he make such a low-level mistake?

It must be because he was so flustered by 555 praising big brother before him!

Song Yutu tried to save face. “Big brother, it’s like this—even though I haven’t eaten it, I know it must be delicious!”

Song Yiran could tell that Song Yutu was forcing a recovery, but he didn’t expose him and instead offered him an out.

“So that’s how it is, hahaha. Thank you for trusting my cooking skills.”

Song Yutu let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, big brother didn’t doubt him.

When people feel embarrassed, they usually pretend to be very busy.

Having witnessed everything, Song Chiyu played with his paws for a while, then with his tail.

His paws were so embarrassed that they couldn’t help scratching at the chair. So awkward… He’d better pretend he knew nothing.

Song Xianyue was a bit distracted. His eyes were fixed on the egg pancake in front of him, but his mind was already on the mutated Karen Flower.

After arriving at Karendel, he would definitely perform well and strive to find the mutated Karen Flower as soon as possible!

Song Yinyun had the same thought—he wanted to find the mutated Karen Flower and then give the flower to big brother.

After a while, the egg pancakes had cooled down. Everyone reached out with their “evil hands” toward the egg pancakes that were emitting an irresistible aroma.

“Wow! So delicious!”

“Egg pancakes are so tasty, big brother is amazing!”

“Yummy!”

Everyone gave extremely high praise to the taste of the egg pancakes.

Song Yiran smiled smugly—children’s tastes were the easiest to grasp!

Snacks like egg pancakes, hand-grabbed pancakes, and cold noodles were enough to completely enchant kids.

After all, he had once been a child too. Although his father cooked very delicious food, for him, the snacks sold outside the school gate were even more tempting.

Whenever school let out, the entrance would be packed with snack stalls—hand-grabbed pancakes, grilled cold noodles, stinky tofu, fried skewers, and the like.

Every stall would be crowded with students, but even so, he’d always find a way to squeeze in and buy a portion.

After eating, Song Yiran started packing their luggage. First were everyone’s changes of clothes, then Song Buli’s toys, and then…

And then it seemed like there was nothing else to bring!!! How could this be? Could it be that his younger brothers’ luggage was really this little?

No! It was because he, as a big brother, was too incompetent!

Song Yiran’s whole body seemed to turn gray, like a faded stone statue.

How could this be? How could his younger brothers have so little luggage?

Children should have lots of toys!

When he was little, he had a whole big box of toys. Every time he went back to his hometown or traveled, he’d agonize over which toys to bring.

But now, aside from Song Buli, the rest of his younger brothers only needed to bring changes of clothes!

Song Yiran covered his face in remorse. “Xiao Zhong’er, I’m really an incompetent big brother!”

“It’s not that bad, right? Didn’t you buy toy yellow ducks before? And there are also Song Buli’s toys.”

Xiao Zhong’er tried his best to comfort Song Yiran. “I think you’re already very competent. No one is perfect—everyone has oversights sometimes. It’s really not a big deal.”

“No, I really am an incompetent big brother!” Song Yiran was on the verge of being crushed by guilt.

He thought he could be a good parent, a good big brother—but how could he be so careless?

His younger brothers didn’t even have a few decent toys! What kind of big brother was he?

Was he blind or something? Why hadn’t he noticed the awkward situation of his younger brothers having no toys to play with?

“Maybe they’ve always wanted new toys, but didn’t dare tell me, so they could only live miserably every day without any toys…”

By the time he reached this point, Song Yiran’s voice was already choking with sobs. How could he have been so careless?

Did someone like him even deserve to be a big brother? He was such a terrible one!

Xiao Zhong’er noticed that Song Yiran’s emotions were spiraling out of control and immediately stepped in to stop his self-blame.

“Stop, stop, stop! Song Yiran, it’s not as miserable as you’re making it sound. Aren’t they having plenty of fun with the entertainment facilities in the courtyard?”

“Think about it—there’s a big swing, a small swing, seesaws, and slides in the yard. Isn’t that enough for them to play with?”

“And you even gave each of them a light-brain. Aren’t light-brains fun?”

Xiao Zhong’er said seriously, “So, Song Yiran, they’re really not living as bleakly as you imagine.”

“You don’t need to feel guilty over this. No one is perfect. You’ve already done very well—nobody is flawless.”

“Everyone has moments of oversight; that’s completely normal. You don’t need to blame yourself so much.”

“Besides, they’ve been having a great time these past few days! So don’t keep torturing yourself.”

Unfortunately, these comforting words didn’t have much effect. Song Yiran still looked full of self-reproach.

Xiao Zhong’er sighed and changed tactics.

“Alright, fine—you’re a negligent big brother. So now you need to take remedial measures and earn your brothers’ forgiveness!”

This method of using magic to defeat magic worked extremely well. Song Yiran’s attention was instantly captured.

He asked eagerly, “Xiao Zhong’er, what should I do to make up for all this?”

“Well, since you’re heading to Karrendil this time, once you get there you can buy them some local specialty toys.”

“Think about it—Karrendil is a planet where magic and technology coexist. You can buy magical potions, magical plants, or even little flower-fairy robots for them.”

“Aren’t those more high-end than ordinary toys? And they’re travel-edition souvenirs too—much more meaningful!”

Xiao Zhong’er’s expression was extremely serious—so serious he almost fooled himself.

Luckily, he had looked up quite a bit of information about Karrendil yesterday; otherwise, he really wouldn’t have known how to trick Song Yiran.

Song Yiran was completely led around by Xiao Zhong’er’s words and found them very convincing.

“Xiao Zhong’er, you’re a genius! Let’s do it! When the time comes, I’ll buy lots of Karrendil specialty products for the kids!”

Song Yiran was instantly revived to full health. Xiao Zhong’er was right—no one was perfect, and he was bound to have moments of oversight.

What mattered most now was to make up for his mistake.

He was going to buy lots and lots of toys for the kids!

After packing their luggage, they prepared to head for the space transit station.

All routes to other planets had to depart from the space transit station.

Even arriving at this planet required entering through the transit station—otherwise, it would be considered illegal entry.

Once discovered, stowaways would be expelled from the planet.

Strictly speaking, Song Yutu’s actions that night could also be considered illegal entry.

However, due to the appearance of a spacetime rift that night, the rules of this spacetime experienced a momentary disturbance.

As a result, when Song Yutu piloted the starship into this planet, no alarm was triggered.

Before setting off, Song Yutu released the small starship he had previously stored in his light-brain.

Song Yutu was responsible for piloting, and everyone boarded the small starship to head to the space transit station.

After arriving at their destination, Song Yutu stored the starship back into his light-brain. He had to admit—the limited-edition starship really did feel great to fly.

The transit station was bustling with people, filled with all kinds of beings—locals and aliens alike.

There were tentacled aliens with countless tentacles, beastmen of various forms, and Xixier aliens with wings, among others.

Worried that the children might get separated, Song Yiran carefully reminded them, “Babies, make sure you stay close to your big brother. Don’t run off anywhere!”

“Okay~” The children nodded obediently and stayed close to Song Yiran.
