Chapter 40 Heading to Star R15
Chapter 40 Heading to Star R15
Meanwhile, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze are preparing for their next trip, unaware that their upcoming visit will bring both surprise and unease to the Yan family.
After dealing with the issues at the two shops, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze rested for the night.
The next day, they arrived at the space station and boarded a small spaceship docked there. It would take five days to get to R15 from here.
Once again sailing in the vast expanse of space, Lin Shushu no longer felt the same sense of novelty as she had the first time.
This time, she tried to control the spaceship. Having never even been able to drive a car in her past life, she never imagined that in this life she would take off from the ground and soar into space. She was actually quite excited!
Mo Ze couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her pacing back and forth between the spaceship's control panel and the direction of travel.
"Don't be nervous. The spaceship has a set route, so you don't need to keep an eye on it all the time. If you get tired, you can switch to automatic navigation mode."
"Really? What if meteorites or space debris come towards us?" Lin Shushu was still a little worried.
"The spaceship has an automatic warning mode that can issue warnings when these things are far away from us, so we just need to be careful. As for..." Mo Ze thought of the situation he encountered when he was caught in spatial turbulence.
"If the object attacking us is too fast and there isn't enough warning time, then we'll have to open the escape pod and wait for rescue."
So it doesn't seem 100% safe after all. Lin Shushu thought, it would be better to fly on a sword. Unfortunately, with her current strength, she couldn't expose herself to space alone and couldn't experience that feeling of soaring above the universe for the time being.
But she also knew that there was no such thing as absolute safety in this world.
After spending half a day trying it out, Lin Shushu lost interest in operating the spaceship. After handing over control to Mo Ze, she logged onto the StarNet, looking for something to do to pass the time.
Upon closer inspection, they discovered posts about their own two shops.
The reputation of the herbal medicine shop is growing, and many people are posting positive reviews about their experiences using it on the StarNet. This has also attracted some criticism.
A netizen named "What Can You Do About Me?" posted about the effects of taking the purification pill.
According to him, when he went to a desolate planet to search for energy stones, he accidentally stumbled into a place with an abnormally high concentration of pollution. When he returned, he found that the pollution level in his body had reached 80%.
This terrified him. Under normal circumstances, the level of pollution in people's bodies is 20%-30%. A level exceeding 40% is abnormal, exceeding 50% has an impact on health, and exceeding 80% is extremely dangerous.
The netizen immediately went to the hospital for treatment, but there were no purification specialists in his area capable of purifying such a high level of pollution. Treatment would require going to a more advanced planet, but it was obvious the cost would be exorbitant. He simply couldn't afford the high price.
Just when he was about to give up hope, he discovered a shop called "Pill Shop". Driven by curiosity, he clicked on it.
At the end of the post, "What Can You Do About Me?" wrote: "I am incredibly grateful for my curiosity, otherwise I would not have discovered such a miraculous elixir. You might not believe it, but my current level of contamination is '0'."
Below the post, many people asked what kind of magical pill it was, and the reply was simply, "What can you do to me?"
However, some people poured cold water on the idea.
"You believe such an obvious lie? Who has ever seen a pollution level of '0'?"
"Could this be an advertisement posted by the store itself to attract customers?"
"This is obviously a shill; only a fool would believe it."
……
Some people also cheered for the poster.
Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I can't speak for other shops, but the 'elixir shop' is absolutely trustworthy.
"That's right, their pills all have the same effect as advertised, but unfortunately I only managed to snag one."
……
Lin Shushu was very happy after skimming through the post. She felt a great sense of accomplishment that her pills could help others.
Now she no longer worries about the 3000 million planet management fee. She sells pills and spiritual fruits now only to reduce the suffering of interstellar people, so that her trip here will not be in vain.
Another post was about "It really is you", with the poster "Little Cutie" claiming to have found a shop selling the magic fruit.
Rumors had circulated before that a miraculous fruit had appeared on the Imperial Star, sent back by the God of War, Mo Ze. Everyone was curious about what kind of fruit it was. As for its special effects, no one doubted it; after all, if the God of War acknowledged it, how could it be false?
The various families had searched for a long time but could not find a place where the fruit was grown. Now that there was a shop selling it, everyone rushed to see it, regardless of whether they could afford it or not.
Lin Shushu looked at Mo Ze beside her. This guy's influence in the empire was truly remarkable; the celebrity effect was just different.
Mo Ze noticed the scrutinizing look in Lin Shushu's eyes and was somewhat puzzled. After learning the reason, he felt a little helpless; in truth, he didn't want these empty titles either. He didn't before, and he certainly didn't now.
It wasn't that he was going to quit; he would return to the battlefield after his leave. Mo Ze looked at Lin Shushu, feeling a little downcast at the thought of parting with her.
On second thought, he still had a year of vacation left, so why was he thinking about it so early? Maybe the Zerg would never attack, and then he could consider retiring early.
Five days isn't a long time, but it's not short either. Staying on the spaceship all the time can be quite boring, but having someone you like with you makes it less unbearable.
Five days later, they finally arrived at R15. It was a relatively small planet, even smaller than M19.
Stepping out of the space station and onto the land of R15, Lin Shushu had a strange feeling, as if she had returned to the original M19 planet.
The same desolation, high air pollution levels, and the plants all looked malnourished.
In fact, many underdeveloped planets in the interstellar space are similar. Because they lack resources and do not receive attention, development is naturally out of the question.
If it weren't for Lin Shushu, M19 would have remained unchanged, and wouldn't have undergone such a dramatic transformation.
Unlike M19, R15 has more infrastructure because it is inhabited by humans and is under the jurisdiction of the Empire.
"Should we go find that person ourselves, or wait for him to come and pick us up?" Lin Shushu asked.
“It’s faster if we go ourselves. He gave me the address.” Mo Ze took out a flying car from the spatial hub. They had just bought it a few days ago, and it was suitable for short-distance travel.
There's no other way; they can't exactly fly on their swords in populated areas. In situations like today, a small, fast vehicle like a flying car is perfect.
Once inside the flying car, Lin Shushu discovered it was similar to the sports cars in her original world, except that it flew in the air. This offered a better view than driving on the ground.
Yan He had already received Mo Ze's message and knew they were coming soon. At this moment, the whole family was waiting anxiously.
