Chapter 119: Light Brain

Ye Xi'an enjoyed the delicious food while complaining that prices were too high.

"Especially this rice." Ye Xi'an took a bite; the texture was a bit coarse, the taste not sweet at all, nowhere near that of Diqiu, yet the price had skyrocketed to eleven thousand per jin.

"It's okay." Ji Jiangci pinched a chopstickful of eggplant into the bowl, lifted the rice to his mouth: "These vegetables and rice are mostly specialties of Doom Blue Star; Doom Blue Star is dangerous everywhere, and spatial fees are also expensive. Ten thousand is already a very fair price."

Ye Xi'an, of course, knew she was only venting; having known she would suddenly come here and already possess a Xiao Shijie, she had packed some vegetable seeds and rice seeds in her bag when she came from Diqiu.

Anyway, it doesn't matter; next time she receives a mission, she'll see if she can go to that place called Doom Blue Star and harvest some seeds for Xiao Shijie, which would be the same.

After the meal, the group went to First Ring to buy Light Brains. Ye Xi'an still had over ten million, nearly twenty million; after subtracting one million for the next mission and the renovation costs, the Contribution Points they could allocate were just a little over a thousand.

Considering the practicality of Light Brains, Ye Xi'an decided to buy one priced around five hundred thousand; otherwise she'd have to replace it later, which would be troublesome and waste money.

"Five hundred thousand, isn't that too pricey?" Bao Jing said it was expensive, but his eyes were glued to the Light Brain, full of longing; which male could refuse such a high‑performance Light Brain?

Ye Xi'an also noticed Bao Jing's gaze and thought his insincere words were rather cute: "It's fine; if it's for you, it's not expensive."

"Let's settle the bill, boss."

"Hold on." Ji Jiangci frowned at the display, looking displeased at the Light Brain shop's boss: "Boss, did you input the price incorrectly? We're buying a Light Brain for five hundred thousand, why does it show two million?"

He thought the boss was deliberately trying to rip them off.

The boss's previously cheerful expression froze, and he asked hesitantly: "Five hundred thousand is the price for one unit, but your wife wants four units, so it's two million."

The boss turned to Ye Xi'an: "May I ask whether you entered the purchase quantity incorrectly?"

Ye Xi'an shook her head: "That's right, I'll pay directly."

Meanwhile, Yi Yang and Ji Jiangci were completely stunned—bought four units? Did Ye Xi'an also buy Light Brains for them?

"Wife, do I also have a Light Brain?"

Yi Yang's sturdy face showed a clueless cuteness at odds with his demeanor, as if he couldn't believe a computer could belong to him; in fact, on Zhu Shen Xing there isn't even a first‑ranked mutant beastman who can have a Light Brain.

"Definitely, since we're buying, the whole family should have them together." You can't just buy one for a single person; that would be irresponsible.

Yi Yang's mouth twisted, about to cry again; Ye Xi'an, having foreseen it, clamped his lips with one hand, pinching them like a sack, and said: "Hold back your tears."

Crying at home is one thing, but you can't cry out here, lest others think you're easy to bully.

After the payment, the boss gave them a Light Brain implantation service as a gift.

Light Brains on Zhu Shen Xing differ from computers on Diqiu; a Light Brain is a blue chip no larger than a fingertip's nail, and implantation requires cutting a piece of skin on the arm and embedding the chip into the subdermal tissue.
