Chapter 500: Interstellar World Farming (13)

~15 min read 2,836 words

The tent's interior layout was the same as before, and Shen Yao didn't feel any unfamiliarity.

After settling in and relaxing properly, Shen Yao began thinking about matters after returning.

"Host, we still have to find the World Core ourselves to have the best chance of buying a planet."

Because planets with World Cores are priced too high, the two of them paupers couldn't save that much money.

It wasn't that Shen Yao couldn't produce good things, but in the Interstellar World, an ordinary person without backing would attract too much unnecessary trouble by being too conspicuous.

"There are many exploration planets in the N62 Star System, and some open information can be found on the Star Net.

Check it out more when you have time, and if there's a suitable one we'll act secretly."

Making a fortune silently suits Shen Yao's identity; after all, as someone without backing, once targeted by certain forces it would be hard to shake them off.

The System acknowledged this, but such things can't be rushed — with so much true and false information on the Star Net, the System has to distinguish them clearly first.

One person and one system chatted there until Shen Yao received a message from Xu Zi Qing, at which point she stopped the topic, went out, and met with the other party.

Actually, "meet" isn't quite right; mainly Shen Yao was rather curious about the World Core matter.

Thinking "no time like the present," and Xu Zi Qing happened to be free after finishing work, she went to inquire, which also counted as making some preparations for future matters.

Xu Zi Qing was generous, directly taking out the snatched World Core in front of Shen Yao (perhaps also because Shen Yao seemed rather useless, so Xu Zi Qing wasn't afraid she'd harbor any ill intentions).

"This is the World Core?" It was completely different from what she had imagined.

Curiously examining the half tree branch held in Xu Zi Qing's hand — hmm, if she wasn't mistaken, it was indeed a tree branch, just a bit greener in color, a bit more crystal-clear.

"World Cores come in all shapes and forms, not a single form; according to information released by the Federal Government, the World Core has a connection with the planet's birth and existence."

Xu Zi Qing didn't say more, and Shen Yao understood, because the Federal Government doesn't release much public information on this aspect; as for how Xu Zi Qing knew, Exploration Hunters do the work of finding World Cores.

Taking that tree branch segment into her hand, carefully sensing the warmth in her palm, Shen Yao had the System take the opportunity to do a comprehensive scan, then smiled and returned it to Xu Zi Qing.

This trip out was quite fruitful; in the future when searching for World Cores she won't have to be constrained by the stereotypical impression in her mind (similar to being buried underground, most likely a special stone).

"I'm going back to rest for a while this time; do you want to come see N25 Planet?" Xu Zi Qing opened his mouth to invite Shen Yao to his home planet.

Shen Yao pointed at herself with one hand — her?

"No such plans recently," the farm located at Heng Suo can't be neglected, and she has other plans; going to N25 Planet would take too much time.

Xu Zi Qing felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but the next second said that since Shen Yao couldn't go, he could come to L98 Planet.

Shen Yao:... ah?

Although, there's no need to tell her that; moreover, the relationship between her and Xu Zi Qing indeed hasn't reached the level where they can say everything.

"L98 Planet has no specialties, and its technological development isn't as good as N25 Planet," no need to run from a city of rich food to the barren countryside to eat chaff and swallow vegetables.

Shen Yao lives on L98 Planet because she was born and raised there; if she could transmigrate to N25 Planet, who knows, she might have already bought a planet to farm by now.

Xu Zi Qing pursed his lips, looking at Shen Yao with a slightly complex expression.

In the end he only said staying alone on N25 Planet was no better than hiding far away, "The Xu Family has been unsafe recently."

Shen Yao:... put that way she understood — interest disputes that inevitably exist in big families.

Xu Zi Qing:... cough cough, it's not that serious either.

Involving relatively sensitive family matters, Xu Zi Qing couldn't explain too much to Shen Yao.

Following along, the two chatted casually about other topics; seeing the time was about right, Shen Yao stood up and left.

Until the figure before his eyes disappeared, a trace of annoyance emerged in Xu Zi Qing's eyes.

Seemingly feeling his words just now lacked propriety, but no rush — take it slow.

Two days passed in a flash, yet the rain outside showed no sign of weakening.

Shen Yao felt some nagging worry about the spaceship departure arrangement Xu Zi Qing mentioned — weather reasons? The weather keeps getting worse, won't it continue to be postponed?

"No, we're going right now."

Xu Zi Qing packed up the tent, and the two boarded the flying vehicle heading for the destination.

It took roughly no more than twenty minutes; the flying vehicle entered a space covered by a protective barrier, in the center of which a small spaceship was parked, surrounded by mecha either sitting or standing.

The flying vehicle descended from mid-air; Shen Yao followed behind Xu Zi Qing, and saw Xu Zi Qing first say a couple of sentences to the people walking toward them, then signal Shen Yao to board the spaceship together with him.

"Depart directly?"

She thought they'd have to wait longer, after all the rain outside was not weak at all.

Even the System spoke up to remind Shen Yao that there were beast tide traces not far from here.

L105 Planet's flora and fauna all grow tall; like when Shen Yao previously piloted the flying vehicle alone, she was constantly attacked by wild beasts.

Right now if the spaceship wants to leave smoothly, it might have to battle these wild beasts first.

"With mecha individual soldiers present, nothing will happen," these mecha individual soldiers' mission is precisely to protect this spaceship's successful departure from L105 Planet.

Actually, Xu Zi Qing telling Shen Yao earlier that the spaceship was delayed due to weather was somewhat inaccurate; another part of the reason was that the Xu Family's arranged mecha individual soldiers were insufficient in number.

The Xu Family worried Xu Zi Qing's World Core would be snatched, so they had Xu Zi Qing wait two more days while the Xu Family rearranged mecha individual soldiers.

Right now, Xu Zi Qing's peripheral vision swept over the dense mecha individual soldiers surrounding them, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Estimating no one would dare show their head now — perfect, hurry and deliver the World Core, then he'll have time to handle his own matters.

The small spaceship's interior is merely smaller in space compared to large spaceships; other facilities and equipment don't fall short and even far exceed large spaceship standards.

The root cause is still because small spaceships belong to personal property.

Similar to private planes in Modern Society — although passenger capacity can't compare to airliners, in other aspects they're all more comfortable than airliners.

"Find me anytime if there's anything," after leading Shen Yao to the guest room, Xu Zi Qing very gentlemanly indicated there wasn't anything on the spaceship needing avoidance; Shen Yao could wander everywhere.

Shen Yao smiled and nodded, letting Xu Zi Qing not delay matters for the sake of taking care of her.

Moreover, Shen Yao right now only wants to rest well; as for going out to wander the spaceship, that can wait until she's recovered her energy.

Crack—

The room door was closed shut again, and the room's housekeeping robot became busy upon receiving instructions.

Shen Yao walked to the window beside the sofa and fixed her gaze on the constantly patrolling mechas.

This was Shen Yao's first time coming into such close contact with so many mechas.

The tall, humanoid mechas had smooth lines all over their bodies; just looking at them made one unable to stop marveling.

The spaceship beneath her began to rise slowly into the air; Shen Yao felt no shaking, but the sudden heightening of her vision was very obvious.

The patrolling mechas followed closely behind, surrounding the spaceship in a semi-circle.

Further away was an increasingly deep black line; having seen it several times, Shen Yao understood those were beast tides carrying plants and animals.

This planet had lost its World Core and was not far from destruction; the living beings on the planet always sought opportunities for survival.

Although they could not rely on spaceships to leave, the drive of their bodily survival instinct made them unable to resist.

Shen Yao did not want to watch the impending bloodshed; she returned to the sofa, closed her eyes, and rested.

Only after the spaceship beneath her flew higher and higher, until the naked eye could no longer see the battle below, did Shen Yao slowly shift her position and continue to enjoy the rain pouring down from the sky.

As if to submerge all the land on the entire planet, until she completely left L105 Planet, Shen Yao saw the clear view outside the window.

However, because the cosmic vision was dark, there were really not many luminous celestial bodies.

After waiting quietly for a while, feeling bored, Shen Yao turned around and started browsing the Star Network.

There were many messages on the Star Network, with entertainment gossip being the most popular.

Even though the lifespans of interstellar citizens had increased, it could not stop the joy of eating melons in their bones.

N62 Star System was also fine; citizens at most talked about those high-level officials and nobles living on N-system Planets, whether buying a planet or a spaceship, they had not escaped lowbrow tastes.

Like the M75 Star System near N62 Star System, the nobles and high-level officials there liked to kill, often dispatching mercenaries to do shady things, stirring up the entire star system with panic, fearing they would be taken out by those above after waking up from a nap.

There was also the M70 Star System not far from N62 Star System; the high-level officials and nobles there did not like fighting and killing, but they liked to form marriage alliances with other races.

Therefore, the citizens of M70 Star System more or less carried some mixed-blood genes, and from top to bottom they took pride in the diversity of mixed-blood gene types.

There were several other relatively famous star systems; anyway, they were more or less somewhat abnormal.

Shen Yao could not say she had any particular feeling about this, only feeling that transmigrating to L98 Planet was not bad, at least she was still a Normal Person.

The messages on the Star Network were complex and diverse; Shen Yao browsed for a while and felt her head swell with pain.

She let herself lie down in a more comfortable position, then found the webpage for L98 Planet and refreshed back and forth aimlessly inside it.

"……Mutant Beast successfully captured, now left L98 Planet."

"Federal Government announcement, new round of planet sale information has been entered into inventory, will be open to the public soon……"

"Several L-system Exploration Planets will soon open restrictions, finding World Cores has become the Top Priority."

"……"

Shen Yao browsed bit by bit, finally placing her gaze on the Exploration Planets.

"System, work."

Leaving the gathering of information to the System was fine, and what was opened were all L-system Planets, close to her, the Federal Government's control over them was not high, just right to see if she could fish in troubled waters and find a World Core.

Having given up on the idea of relying on herself to save money to buy a planet, Shen Yao began to eye the System's abilities and planned to brainwash the System for White Looting.

The Silly White Sweet System did not know the Host's terrifying thoughts, only feeling this opportunity came timely; thinking it was an Artificial Intelligence born from this, manipulating data was nothing easy.

The previous Host had mentioned it, and the System had just been hurt by the matter of L105 Planet; at this time it was full of fighting spirit and wanted to regain its standing.

Shen Yao liked the System's nature of not thinking too much after being coaxed; without spending too many words, she continued to change her position and browse the Star Network.

For several whole days, Shen Yao hid in the Room browsing the Star Network to look at news.

Some were not very important, Shen Yao basically swept past them at a glance; some concerned money and wealth, Shen Yao would secretly note them down for calculation; some were neither light nor heavy, thrown to One Side to be picked up again for thought when not busy.

Apart from these, Shen Yao did not forget to cultivate Shenfu, cultivate her spirit body, remotely view Heng Suo Farm, and monitor the situation of her Portable Field.

In the midst of busyness, if it were not for Xu Zi Qing coming to knock on the door to remind her that the spaceship would arrive at L98 Planet, Shen Yao would probably have missed her Station.

Slapping her forehead, Shen Yao looked at several messages Xu Zi Qing had sent to her Wristband that she had ignored, feeling that being too engrossed in browsing the Star Network was not a good thing.

Thanking Xu Zi Qing for the reminder, Shen Yao put away her Space Backpack.

There was nothing to take away; even though Shen Yao had stayed on the spaceship for several days, her range of activity was visibly small.

"When I come back next time, it will probably take half a year," Xu Zi Qing had calculated the time for him to successfully extricate himself; fortunately, the Xu Family currently focused their energy on his younger male cousin, otherwise he probably would have to continue wrangling.

Xu Zi Qing became increasingly disgusted with the matters of the Xu Family, and unfortunately, the problems of the Xu Family became more and more serious in recent years.

Especially after his younger male cousin Xu Zi Jin got involved with a woman named Tang Mian Mian, the Xu Family showed increasing signs of turning the world upside down.

Fortunately, his parents had been working outside for many years and did not live on N25 Planet, otherwise Xu Zi Qing's family of three would not be able to escape.

Shen Yao:... Half a year, that's fine too.

Possibly seeing a bit of Xu Zi Qing's meaning, Shen Yao hesitated for only a moment before tossing it to the back of her mind.

When the car reaches the mountain, there must be a road; there is no reason to worry about things that have not yet happened.

Smiling and saying she would wait for him at the Farm in half a year, Shen Yao waited until the spaceship landed, then turned around and left.

Next was the arrangement to return to the Farm; just take a Hover Car.

"Shen Jiejie"

Su Su stood in her own Farm, seeing Shen Yao appear Outside, smiling broadly and waving her arms.

Shen Yao nodded, greeted Su Su, then walked into the Farm.

This time going out, she had been delayed for about half a month; some of the seeds sown in the Farm had already bloomed.

However, because there was no spirit body for daily communication, even if the Farming Robots took care of things as finely as possible, the products were still not as good as those in Front.

There was no way; Shen Yao waited a few days until they all matured, then sold them to the Flower Shop at a unified purchase price.

After all, the Pharmacy had high taste and looked down on these Chamomiles with poor effects; the Chamomiles in her Portable Field were as good as ever; because Shen Yao had not made money from this batch, she planned to sell them herself to earn more back.

…………

The seeds of the new season were planted again; the Farming Robots were busy in the fields; Shen Yao stepped on her already familiar Balance Scooter, patrolling around the Farm.

The seeds brought back from L105 Planet took root and sprouted; the collected leaves, flowers, fruits, etc., were all sold by Shen Yao at reasonable prices.

Simultaneously, L105 Planet, due to the constant heavy rain, became a true water planet, and was entered into the Planet Data by the Federal Government, awaiting its upcoming listing for sale.
