Raising Giant Human Cubs in the Interstellar Era

Coming soon: The Whale Is Back to Petting the Two-Legged Ones

#Went away to work, struck it rich overnight, got a husband and a kid, and even has a fishy buddy.#

After going through countless hardships, Qin Gui made it from his remote hometown to the Empire, where he worked in whale rescue at the research institute on Afuya Star.

His daily work involved petting whales, taking dolphins for walks, and bringing lost sea otters home... It was practically heaven.

But Qin Gui didn't know that many of the whales who came to play with him were actually Empire elites who had regressed to their ancestral forms after their mental seas collapsed.

Especially that big blue whale who kept disappearing without warning. It was actually the ruler of the Empire, Lin Chengxing.

His Majesty had been in his ancestral form for over two years, and every doctor had concluded that he would never recover.

That is, until one day, the little rescue worker had finally saved enough to start a business. He sailed over to say goodbye to the big blue whale, explaining that he was quitting to go back home, buy a house, and get married.

At this, the big blue whale was so furious that he shot a column of water fifteen meters into the air, transformed into His Majesty the Emperor on the spot, and grabbed the little rescue worker to stop him from leaving. "You touched me and hugged me before, so I demand that you take responsibility for me right now, this instant!"

Drenched from head to toe, the little rescue worker looked at Mr. Blue Whale, whose face was terrifying but who was still very handsome, and stammered, "O-our ancestors said humans and d-demons being together... never ends well."

His Majesty the Emperor's eyes rolled back, and his newly repaired mental sea nearly collapsed all over again.

A little extra, part one:

Word had spread all over the sea that a new two-legged creature was incredibly generous. All you had to do was blow a bubble at him, and he'd give you food.

Orcas from all around came to see for themselves.

Qin Gui warmly welcomed every guest, giving each one a big fish and a complimentary scratching service.

The orcas: This two-legged creature is a keeper.

Novel blurb:

Zhou Yang was a preschool teacher. One misstep sent him tumbling onto a remote planet in the Interstellar Federation.

Everything in the interstellar world was great, except that the people here were just a little bit too tall, with an average height of four meters.

At 1.81 meters tall, Zhou Yang was an adult from Earth, but the Federation classified him as disabled due to stunted bone growth. He had hoped his aptitude test might bring a surprise, but he got an F in physical fitness and an E in mental strength. He couldn't even compare to giant toddlers.

Fortunately, the Federation thoughtfully provided a minimum subsistence allowance of 600 giant coins a month, just enough to buy the cheapest nutrient solution.

They also considerately found Zhou Yang a place to stay: a rescue center that had been empty for sixty years, where he could only stay for six months.

No money, no home, no job. He wanted to return to his old line of work, but he wasn't even qualified. Even tough Zhou Yang couldn't help sighing, "I'm having such a hard time!"

After Zhou Yang finally saved enough money to get certified, he thought he was about to become a proud early childhood instructor. But he still couldn't find a job. The directors of those preschools said that toddlers could beat up three people like him.

Zhou Yang: ...

With no other choice, Zhou Yang took over a preschool that was on the verge of closing and became its director.

But why did the preschool come with three scrawny toddlers? Buy one, get three free? Is this how business works in the interstellar world?

Looking at the three little money pits with their mouths open, waiting for nutrient solution, poor Zhou Yang rolled up his sleeves and worked himself to the bone. Somehow, the Starry Preschool became famous throughout the interstellar world.

Zhou Yang, head down and hard at work: ???

When reporters came to visit, the kids at Starry Preschool explained their fame as follows:

Toddler Number One: First place in the Interstellar Toddler Arts Competition.

Toddler Number Two: Isn't being an all-around champion in competitive sports as easy as having legs?

Toddler Number Three: I... I only applied for two patents, and they just happened to be adopted by the military.

The general who freeloaded at the preschool also joined in, modestly telling the reporter, "I can't compare with them. All I did was win over the director."

Reporter: Aren't you just bragging?

A friendly reminder:

The top has stunted bone growth and is only 1.95 meters tall.
