Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Having finally come out this trip, she couldn't just finish her business and head back.

Shen Yao opened her wristband and found the nearest smart mall.

Similar in structure to malls in modern society, the only difference was that the items sold in the mall were all high-tech products like flying vehicles, energy agents, robots, mechanical assistants, and game warehouses.

And these high-tech products were all from the same company, Yuexiang Technology, which was under the Federal Government and had government investment.

It was said that the boss of Yuexiang Technology was an insider of the Federal Government; just by birth, they surpassed ninety-nine percent of citizens in the Interstellar World, and they also graduated from a prestigious university, had high IQ and EQ, a handsome appearance, a tall figure, and were perfect in every way.

Shen Yao's wristband often received gossip news about the boss of Yuexiang Technology: either rejecting a noble young lady or politely declining a beauty of another race, and toward other genders, they were cold as ice, very much like the template in novels.

Unfortunately, this person wasn't Shen Yao's type; she looked twice, lost interest, and stopped paying attention.

Right now, Shen Yao was examining a cultivation agent said to be very effective for materialized plants, priced at five digits, which was three months' salary for an ordinary person.

With Shen Yao's current assets, a small bleed could buy all the cultivation agents for the first stage's three courses.

The system was horrified and shouted in Shen Yao's head, "Really buy it?"

"Buy!"

Shen Yao nodded and, on the basis of a fifteen percent discount, generously bought a whole box of cultivation agents.

The salesperson (robot) didn't forget to gift half a box of not-so-expensive nutrient agents, and also slipped Shen Yao a membership card issued by the mall; cardholders could purchase all products in the mall and enjoy a ten percent discount.

Shen Yao left her address, and the mall delivered the goods to her home for free; following her, she left the place selling potions and turned to browse the flying vehicle store she was most curious about.

Completely unlike the UFOs in her imagination, the flying vehicles sold looked somewhat like motorcycles.

However, these flying vehicles were wrapped in a transparent membrane similar to glass material; a person sitting inside was like driving a car.

Although the flying speed of the flying vehicles couldn't compare to hover cars and spaceships, they were very good as daily transportation tools, and as long as one was willing to pay more, one could buy flying vehicles comparable to hover cars and spaceships.

After pinching her chin and confirming that the cheapest flying vehicles cost six digits, and better ones required seven digits, Shen Yao turned around and left without hesitation.

No money, and no flying license; flying vehicles were out of the question for the short term. She'd better figure out how to reasonably and legally earn money and save up startup capital.

The system hurriedly asked Shen Yao what her brilliant idea was?

"Not really a brilliant idea. Didn't you notice that the mental power of the Interstellar World is somewhat similar to the shenfu of the cultivation world?" Shen Yao pointed to the spirit body chamomile that had materialized once again. The chamomile that had drunk the nutrient solution was overall more solid, though its appearance was still palm-sized.

"Maybe this place and the cultivation world are interchangeable?" That is, just as one could cultivate in the cultivation world, one could cultivate here too. Relying on the cultivation secret manuals and spirit stones and spirit herbs in the space, she could save funds while cultivating the spirit body chamomile, striving to achieve the goal of making money from chamomile as soon as possible.

Making money directly with the spirit body wasn't feasible, because plants had no aggressiveness and weren't suitable for participating in secret realms with higher danger (and higher returns).

Chamomile was a decent medicinal herb. Buying land to plant it full of chamomile, then relying on the spirit body chamomile to give back and increase field yield, would make money.

The system had thought of exactly this route, perfectly overlapping with Shen Yao's idea.

Saying try and trying, Shen Yao turned around and took out the secret manual for cultivating shenfu from her space, then paved the array with spirit stones. Spending half a month, she first got started with cultivation, then relied on the secret manual in her hand to explore, and finally worked out a feasible operational method for using shenfu to enhance mental power.

However, this also had a drawback: "L98 Planet has no spiritual energy at all; relying entirely on spirit stones isn't realistic."

There would eventually be a day they ran out. Shen Yao, unsure whether she would enter the cultivation world later and unsure of the difficulty of the cultivation world, couldn't use up the spirit stones she had stored in advance.

"Do all L System planets lack spiritual energy?" Spiritual energy was a kind of energy body, opposite to demonic qi. For humans, mastering the means to use them could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

"Uncertain," Shen Yao fixed her gaze on the system and urged the system to use its own monitoring attribute to explore the L System planets.

Anyway, the L System planets were located at the edge of the N62 Star System, where the Federal Government had little monitoring. With the system's methods, it could easily avoid certain troubles.

System:...

The system puffed up in anger, realizing that the host was actually scheming against it.

"We are partners. In the future, we still need to survive in other task worlds." Helping her was helping itself.

"This matter can't be rushed. I need some time." The system hesitated again and again but still didn't refuse.

Shen Yao patted her chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry. During this period, I'll focus on cultivation and strive to get the business going before I graduate from university."

One had to set up the stall before doing business. Now she had just entered university for less than a year, with two and a half years left. There was plenty of time.

The system and Shen Yao each busied themselves, and during the next period of time, they got along exceptionally harmoniously.

Shen Yao promised the system to focus on cultivation first. So, besides sleeping and eating, all her remaining time was spent sitting in meditation to cultivate and materialize plants with mental power.

Even to save time, Shen Yao specially ordered a box of nutrient solution for daily life online. One thumb-sized tube could last a day without eating or drinking, and even without needing to use the toilet.

This period happened to be the university holiday. Shen Yao declined her friends' invitations to go out and hid alone at home, cultivating with mad devotion.

Until the start of school approached, Shen Yao had to leave home to buy daily necessities. The materialized plant (chamomile) cultivated to be larger than before now had the foundation for farming.

What was the foundation for farming? It was that the materialized plant of mental power could connect with real plants and produce resonance.

Newly materialized plants were too weak and didn't possess this function. Normally, only after continuous cultivation could they barely do it.

Right now, Shen Yao relied on cultivating shenfu to speed up the progress of the materialized plant of mental power. Otherwise, she would at least have to finish drinking all the cultivation agents for the first stage's three courses before talking about farming.

"Host, do we want to rent fields?" In the Interstellar Era, farming wasn't difficult. What was difficult was that field returns weren't proportional to investment. Plus, some people who owned planets or vast fields kept squeezing the income of ordinary farmers, so many had long stopped farming.

"Renting is only temporary. Eventually, we still need to buy." Because renting prices were much higher than buying prices.

Shen Yao's parents were just ordinary company employees while alive and didn't leave any fields when they died in an accident. On L98 Planet, the capital Delaibu only had large fields in the suburbs. To farm somewhere closer, she could only rent more expensive portable fields.

Portable fields involved space folding issues, and the maximum area was only ten thousand square meters (about thirteen mu). Anything larger wasn't something ordinary citizens considered; just the space technology required an astronomical price.

Shen Yao went to the rental company opened by the Federal Government to inquire about field prices, then compared them with several private companies with decent reputations nearby. Finally, she chose a company called Mote Fields to sign a field rental contract.

Shen Yao rented a total of fifty mu of fields, with a three-year contract.

The relevant procedures were handled quickly in a moment. Shen Yao also spent money to buy chamomile seeds. Of course, she didn't just buy chamomile; she also bought roses, baby's breath, mint, violets, marigolds, rosemary, and so on.

These plants were suitable for planting with chamomile. Whether sold to flower shops or pharmacies, or even if she opened her own shop, they were good varieties.

After importing the field location into her wristband, Shen Yao took a hover car there directly. It took about an hour to reach the destination.

"By the time school starts, a round trip will take about two and a half hours."

The time was a bit long, but it was still within Shen Yao's acceptable range.

Shen Yao tapped her wristwatch a few times, and then saw that outside the colorful fields, suddenly a patch of land had the five-colored radiance above its head disappear.

"Host, it's somewhat like a forbidden restriction from a cultivation world," Is this the Interstellar World or some merged world? Why is it getting stranger and stranger.

"An anti-air device established by imitating forbidden restrictions, to prevent birds and beasts from being attracted when the plants mature," because all the fields around the land she leased were planted with grain.

Fifty mu of fields was not very conspicuous among the total of tens of thousands of mu before her eyes.

Shen Yao walked for five minutes and saw pitch-black land and semi-humanoid robots parked at the edge of the fields.

Standing just over a meter tall, this was a farming robot with very high cost performance on the market, available for free use after leasing land.

After entering a string of numbers from her wristband onto the farming robot's screen and waiting for the farming robot to unlock, Shen Yao took out the various seeds she had bought; she didn't even need to explain anything, as the farming robot would automatically plant according to the stored steps.

Fifty mu of land required half a day to plant, and during this half day Shen Yao was not idle, but instead materialized the chamomile made solid by her mental power, tentatively trying to connect it with the fields here and have it resonate with the seeds planted within.

Among them, chamomile would definitely have the best effect, while the remaining seeds would more or less have some benefit.

Chamomile's growth period is usually 60 to 90 days, with the exact duration depending on the variety, climate, and planting conditions. The flowering period generally begins 6 to 8 weeks after sowing and lasts about 4 to 6 weeks.

The chamomile Shen Yao bought was an ordinary variety, but after the resonance of mental power materialization, the effect of the chamomile would improve even further.

Originally ten Federal Currency per bunch, now it required thirty Federal Currency per bunch.

Even selling dried flowers, tea bags, essential oils, and other items processed simply would be more expensive.

For now, Shen Yao only planned to sell some simple and easy-to-make finished products, first accumulating experience, then making plans.

After half a day passed, all the seeds brought were planted, Shen Yao withdrew her mental power, and left while wiping sweat.

The anti-air device behind her was put back down, and the activated farming robot shuttled between the fields, diligently handling field matters.

In the Interstellar Era, even farming didn't require one's own labor; the reason Shen Yao looked so tired was entirely because her mental power was exhausted.

"Still too weak, need to continue cultivating," otherwise after buying a planet in the future, if her mental power couldn't keep up, wouldn't that delay her money-making great undertaking.

There were so many treasures in the Interstellar World, all things that could be bought with money and taken away.

Going out empty-handed, coming back with big and small packages.

Shen Yao chose an express service, packed the items that needed to be sent to the school directly, and then stayed at home waiting quietly for the start of school and classes.

Uh, that wasn't entirely correct either; she still needed to run to the fields in the suburbs two more times, to have the chamomile materialized by her mental power connect and resonate more, to increase the field yield as much as possible, to prevent her income from being affected after she went to school and couldn't come over on time.

Every time she returned from the suburbs, Shen Yao felt as if she had gone on a long run, drenched in sweat from head to toe, and still felt tired even after taking a bath.

She drank nutrient solution without stopping, and had to cultivate her Shenfu whenever she had time; despite this, her mental power growth was still slow, and the idea of eating a fat man in one bite was completely unrealistic.

When the planted seeds had sprouted seedlings from the fields, Shen Yao had to return to school to study.

After not seeing each other for a semester, the four people in the dormitory looked at one another and still felt somewhat unfamiliar.

After all, the university Shen Yao attended was of good quality; every year quite a few students from L98 Planet applied, and occasionally there were even students who studied across planets—just the cost and time of taking a spaceship back and forth once was enough to make people gasp.

"Fortunately, our department doesn't have cross-planet students; I heard He Bi Mechanical Department has a few. The news said that several frequently used routes encountered storms, spaceships were forced to suspend service, and the people still haven't arrived at school."

After the roommate whose family worked in the government finished speaking, fearing Shen Yao and the others wouldn't believe her, she specially explained that the news was accurate, and that she knew because a family member had accidentally let it slip.

Shen Yao:...

They dare to talk about letting secrets slip outside, not afraid of spreading the news?

"What's there to be afraid of? It can't be proven that I said it. There are so many people in our school; can they really trace the source of the matter or what?"

Others took up the topic, mentioning that they couldn't take spaceships for cross-planet travel recently: "It's too dangerous; at least wait until the storm stops."

Otherwise, affecting the spaceship is a small matter, destroying the spaceship is a big one.

"Don't travel across planets recently; the routes going out are not safe." I heard there are also black holes that appear suddenly, impossible to guard against.

The four of them had a lot to say about cross-planet travel, because they had originally planned to take a spur-of-the-moment trip when they graduated from university.

The chattering sounds spread throughout the entire dormitory, and also made the originally unfamiliar relationship between the four people familiar again.

Shen Yao organized the items mailed over, changed the bedding on the bed, and then heard someone behind her call her to go out to eat.

"The first day of the new semester, no matter what, we have to eat cafeteria food; we can't drink tasteless nutrient solution."

Zou Xue was petite in stature, cute in appearance, linking arms with Tang Wen and Yu Feifei, and smilingly waved toward Shen Yao's direction.

Shen Yao stood up and walked over: "I've wanted to try the school cafeteria's Vinegar Fish for a long time; today I'll order one to taste the flavor."

The school cafeteria's Vinegar Fish had long been famous, and its selling price remained high.

Thinking that she would still have to live on campus for another two and a half years and needed to build good relationships with her roommates, Shen Yao was not stingy and directly ordered expensive points (mainly because she wanted to eat them herself).
