Main Character:

Shen Yao

"Xu Zi Qing?"

"Shen Yao, long time no see."

Xu Zi Qing appeared at the farm's doorway, with a flying vehicle beside him for transport.

Shen Yao smiled as she invited him in, not forgetting to ask how things were going with L105 Planet.

News of the Zerg had nothing to do with ordinary interstellar citizens, and the news wouldn't specially broadcast it.

"The Federal Army has finished cleaning up; now we just wait for Exploration Hunters to enter."

Xu Zi Qing came relatively early and still had to stay outside for a period of time.

It was also because Shen Yao lived on L98 Planet that Xu Zi Qing came over this time; his other teammates all chose to arrange residences nearby.

"How long will this entry last? The news says it's fully open."

Shen Yao took out freshly squeezed juice to hand to Xu Zi Qing, and also brought out several plates of prepared pastries.

"Before someone successfully finds the World Core, L105 Planet and surrounding planets will not close."

Actually, a planet's World Core is very hard to find, because the planet's area is too large, and World Cores are mostly hidden in unexpected places; unless one has extremely good luck, or searches inch by inch, otherwise finding the World Core is no different from winning the lottery grand prize.

'System, why was the World Core of a previously explored planet stolen?'

Shen Yao was curious about that girl who held the Regiment Pet Mary Sue script, thinking to herself that she wouldn't have come this time too, right? That World Core was probably hers anyway.

'The World Core of an Exploration Planet being stolen is an accident, and it's also related to that girl's special nature.

This time the other party didn't come; I didn't find her around L105 Planet.'

The System still had some use at times like this; at least it was more useful than ordinary monitors.

After the topic with the System was settled, Shen Yao and Xu Zi Qing simply discussed the Zerg issue on L105 Planet; upon learning that Zerg figures had been active frequently on L-system Planets these past few years, Shen Yao suddenly felt a sense of urgency—would she encounter the Zerg while farming?

Shen Yao, with a wildly imaginative mind, thought too far ahead, even planning to stay away from L-system Planets; anyway, she would eventually buy a planet to farm, and then she just needed to choose an area without Zerg appearing.

"It's a bit difficult; all kinds of planets sold by the Federation have problems."

Xu Zi Qing knew Shen Yao's goal of buying a planet, so he could read the emotions on her face.

Explaining the principles of the Federation selling planets, Xu Zi Qing suggested Shen Yao could consider some planets that had once been invaded by the Zerg; that way not only would the price be cheap, but with the precedent, creatures like the Zerg would probably not come again.

Shen Yao:... How is this completely different from the information I got?

Xu Zi Qing curled the corner of his lips, revealing a faint smile, "The number of planets the Federation sells each year is limited; some people who want to buy have to use their own brains."

This was not only a contest of financial resources, but also a contest of intelligence and public opinion.

Xu Zi Qing came from the Xu Family; although he wasn't some imperial relative, powerful official, or government big shot, his family had operated in the N62 Star System for many years and had some foundation.

Some not-so-important news, Xu Zi Qing still knew quite a lot.

That was why he suggested Shen Yao buy a planet that had once appeared with Zerg; this was the most cost-effective method for her, otherwise just the huge expenses would be enough for her to accumulate.

Shen Yao silently thought that interstellar people were really ruthless; this was no different from business wars in modern society.

Indeed, capitalists are capitalists wherever they go; ordinary people without connections wanting to rise up really require heaven, earth, man, and harmony—none can be missing.

Sincerely thanking Xu Zi Qing for the reminder, Shen Yao saw that they had chatted for about long enough, and simply invited him to have lunch together.

The dishes were all from the farm; Shen Yao had also slaughtered some livestock and fish from the pond.

As the host, this time inviting the two of them was a good experience; Xu Zi Qing said he would temporarily not leave Heng Suo, and if there was anything needed, they could contact him anytime.

Smiling as she saw Xu Zi Qing off, Shen Yao turned her head to ask the System about buying a planet.

'You're no good; how did you not dig up any important news?'

Almost causing her to misjudge; by then the loss wouldn't just be Federal Currency, but also other plans arranged in advance.

System:...

The System also felt wronged; it was all because L-system Planets were too remote; whether on the internet or in news, they didn't say much about selling planets.

It was just a General Manager, and didn't have much self-preservation ability, so it wasn't good to go to N-system Planets; what could be done?

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao didn't expect the System to start crying with a big face; she rolled her eyes to indicate she was just complaining a couple of sentences, and didn't let the System really go to N-system Planets to throw away its life.

'But this matter also gave us a reminder; no matter what, we must investigate from all sides,' some news was hidden too deeply by the Federal Government; without being an insider, one simply wouldn't know the situation.

Shen Yao conservatively estimated that they would have to live in the Interstellar World for many years, and the things they would encounter in the future would be more than what was before them now.

'Host, rest assured, the System will definitely keep a close eye on them,' although it couldn't go to N-system Planets, that didn't mean the Big Shots of N-system Planets didn't go out.

By then it would monitor comprehensively; it just didn't believe it couldn't receive any news at all.

Shen Yao:... No need to go that far

Forget it, forget it; let the System go; doing work is always better than listening to gossip every day without doing proper business.

Raising her hand to rub her face, Shen Yao perked up and continued to take care of the farm crops.

When the first wave of farm crops matured, Shen Yao contacted the pharmacy boss.

As for the flower shop, because there was no suitable person, Shen Yao simply opened an online store herself, pairing it with the specialty chamomile for online sales.

Don't say, the effect was unexpectedly good; even many people placed repeat orders after ordering, the reason being that the sleep-inducing effect of chamomile was stronger than previous methods, and could also soothe agitated Spirit Bodies.

Shen Yao:... Huh?

A pleasant surprise.

Perhaps it couldn't be said that way, because Shen Yao had several years of experience selling crops she grew herself; there was no possibility of discovering it today.

The biggest reason was that Shen Yao's mental power increased, affecting the functions of these crops, making their own effects stronger and stronger.

"From now on, sell directly through the online store," and hire shop assistants.

Compared to supplying flower shops or pharmacies, selling piecemeal like this earns more money.

The only thing to worry about is that the timeline is stretched, affecting cash flow.

Moreover, the stockpiled goods keep piling up, and newly matured goods keep arriving endlessly—a vicious cycle.

…………

A new batch of plant seeds was sown, and the farming robots busied themselves in the fields.

Shen Yao rode a balance scooter, observing her surroundings while patrolling.

Just three days ago, Xu Zi Qing sent word that L105 was fully open, and he was setting off.

His return date is undecided, but based on the experience of other exploration planets, it ranges from half a year to three years.

If the exploration hunters still cannot find the World Core, the Federal Government will reassess the planet, and once the assessment passes, it will become a Public Area open to all interstellar people.

What is a Public Area?

It is an area with the lowest danger that anyone can travel to on their own.

Generally, it refers to a planet with no value left, where the World Core has not been found.

"If even exploration hunters cannot find the World Core, ordinary interstellar citizens stand no chance."

Professionals have strange methods, while ordinary citizens only have a heart that wants to get rich.

"Host, the System can help," the System felt this was its specialty.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao made the System give up; she would not go to an exploration planet herself unless her planet-farming business was obstructed—why else take the risk?

"The Federal Government's assessment only gives rough data; any exploration planet could have an accident."

It was not yet the last moment, and Shen Yao's mission had no sign of progress; if she accidentally ran into the terrifying and vicious Zerg, she would be done for.

Shen Yao was not like Xu Zi Qing, a Commander with overwhelming mental power and mecha soldiers by her side; not to mention her ancestry and background, relying on her own abilities alone was enough for self-preservation.

"This is talent; even relying on external force, it is very hard to change."

"Right, so we honestly farm," Shen Yao forced a smile, turning around while not forgetting to manifest her mental construct to go work.

System:...

Heng Suo's four seasons have distinct climates; no matter when one goes out, different scenery can be seen.

Taking advantage of the clear weather, Shen Yao wore a floral dress and walked toward the commercial office building in the City Center.

Today a new batch of culture medium was listed, a product of the Research Institute, said to be extremely effective.

The culture medium she bought earlier had just been used up, and Shen Yao thought she had nothing on hand, so she came out to look.

She came at just the right time; the new product culture medium was placed right in front of the glass window.

Around were citizens who had come to consult, and many who had rushed from other places, just to be the first to buy.

Shen Yao naturally wanted to buy, because her mental construct was urging her in her mind, calling out that it smelled good and wanted to eat.

In the past, Shen Yao drinking culture medium would make her mental construct dissatisfied; where would this excitement come from?

"One course of treatment's dosage," Shen Yao had just sold a batch of crops not long ago, and using the Federal Currency in her hand to buy the culture medium was more than enough.

The salesperson did not expect the customer to be so generous; you know, when new products launch, prices rise accordingly, and they only drop to normal levels once production stabilizes.

Nowadays, customers who come to buy and buy in large quantities are basically from families that are not short of money.

The salesperson quickly packed the culture medium and even gave away many free gifts for this.

Shen Yao swiped her card to pay, picked up the crate containing the culture medium, and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a "Boom—" from outside, and everyone was so scared they stood frozen in place.

What's wrong?

Shen Yao subconsciously threw the crate in her hand into her space, bent her waist and lowered her head to walk out.

Taking advantage of the time before others reacted, Shen Yao ran out.

The moment she successfully went out, screams rose and fell.

The System urged the Host to find a place to hide quickly, preferably an enclosed space.

"Terrorist attack? Star Pirates? Zerg invasion?"

Shen Yao retorted while running, and before the System could answer, she had already run into the restroom on the same floor.

The restroom was right next to the sundries room, filled with cleaning tools and no windows; Shen Yao hid inside and directly locked the door and window from the inside.

Click—

Shen Yao leaned against the room door, and the whole person suddenly let out a breath of relief.

Huff

Hurriedly or slowly, she finally caught up.

No matter what the situation outside is, right now this place is relatively safe.

The System spoke at this time, saying that what was coming outside was neither Star Pirates nor vicious Zerg, but escaped Mutant Beasts.

"The research spaceship capsized, and the Mutant Beasts inside escaped; L98 Planet is the closest, so it became the beasts' primary landing point."

The one that just attacked the City Center commercial office building was a Fire Lion.

Shen Yao's wristband popped up an emergency notification, a government announcement, telling everyone to hide in enclosed rooms and try not to go out, to avoid injury.

Boom boom boom—boom boom boom——

The tightly closed door was knocked on, and Shen Yao heard increasingly chaotic footsteps outside.

Shen Yao stood up, opened the sundries room, hurriedly gestured for the people at the doorway to come in, then closed and locked the room door again.

The already narrow sundries room became even more crowded; Shen Yao glanced at the people who came in and asked about the situation outside.

Outside?

"Sigh, it's chaotic outside, people everywhere."

Everyone who came in was female—who let this storeroom be right next to the women's toilet.

"I saw a fire downstairs, the elevator won't go down, and we can't get out the main gate—what do we do?"

Someone spoke with a sob in their voice, after all, they had never seen such a scene before.

"Wait for notification, the government won't ignore this, the Patrol Team will definitely come to handle it."

The Star Patrol was equivalent to a modern police station, an official department responsible for maintaining public order.

"I hope so, I, I saw that Fire Lion eating people, I, we shouldn't talk anymore."

The last to speak was a young girl, not very old, wearing a pink dress that was filthy.

The girl stared with her big eyes, fixedly glaring at the locked room door before her.

As the voice fell, the storeroom fell silent, while outside sounds still reached their ears—footsteps, voices, crying and shouting.

Until two loud bangs, Shen Yao quickly reached out to cover the girl's mouth, who was about to lose control and cry out, and gestured with her eyes for everyone to crouch down.

The air became scorching, as if someone had set a fire outside.

Shen Yao took out cooling stickers from her backpack, one for each person to stick on their forehead, and meanwhile quietly asked everyone if they had breathing apparatuses; the oxygen in the storeroom was insufficient, and staying would cause oxygen deprivation.

Fortunately, Interstellar Citizens had the awareness of spatial storage when going out.

Someone reacted and hurriedly took out an oxygen mask from their Capsule Space to put on themselves.

Others had none and borrowed from one another; by the time everyone was done and squatting on the ground, explosion sounds rang out one after another.

The time spent hiding in the storeroom wasn't long, but it made Shen Yao feel tormented.

Only when the Patrol Team came and used cutting machines to rescue them from inside did Shen Yao learn that the mall outside had long been a sea of fire.

Everyone was somewhat dazed, wearing heat-insulating suits, and after walking out they were sent to the hospital for treatment.

Shen Yao had no wounds on her body, so she didn't even need to lie in a Treatment Pod.

She only made a simple statement at the hospital, then returned to her own Farm.

After resting well for a night, Shen Yao got up the next day to continue farming and raising livestock.

After the culture fluid brought back had been consumed for one course of treatment, Farm No. 55 next door welcomed a new Owner.

This Owner Shen Yao could be considered to know—she was the girl who had shared hardship with her, the one whose mouth had been covered, and who was still a little afraid of her.
