Chapter 16: Starting from a Boxed Meal

Lu Yi left, and Ruan Mian thought she would be very unaccustomed to it, looking at the empty house and the front yard planted with plants...

"Master, all the rice has been harvested and husked."

She wasn't unaccustomed to it at all; she was very, very accustomed to it.

It was truly because this Simulation Human was too useful.

Although it was only the lowest-grade housekeeping robot, as long as she gave an order, it would do the work without complaint, and it did it very well.

It was much more useful than Lu Yi.

And she didn't have to provide for its meals.

Ding-ding—

Speak of the devil, the person she had just been thinking about had immediately sent a message.

What difference did it make whether he had left or not?

"Ruan Mianmian, what delicious food are we having for lunch today?"

Projected on the virtual screen was Lu Yi's face; the bandage on his forehead had been removed, and he was once again that unrestrained and arrogant self.

However, the background looked very dark, and she didn't know where he was.

"Have you arrived home? Did you finish eating everything I made for you?"

"Fresh ones taste better!"

He really didn't bite his tongue saying that; the Light Brain had a vacuum-sealing preservation function.

So, whatever the dishes looked like when they were put in, that was exactly what they looked like when taken out.

If the Interstellar Research Department heard him say this, he would really be beaten.

"Just wait, how long has it been since you finished breakfast? I haven't even made lunch yet!"

The next second, the Light Brain sounded with the noise of a transfer.

【Ding—10,000 Interstellar Coins have been deposited into your Light Brain.】

Ruan Mian's eyes curved, "It's not impossible to make it; thank you for your patronage, Boss. Your humble servant will go do it right away, please just wait!"

She wouldn't bow for three pecks of rice, but she could bow for 10,000.

After hanging up the Light Brain call, Lu Yi seemed to still be savoring it, staring at the Light Brain on his wrist for quite a while.

Not until some movement came from outside did he put away the gentleness that belonged to a certain someone, put up his high, cold, and hard armor, and walk out.

Outside were parked three Flying Devices, and three people stepped down from them... If Ruan Mian were here, she would definitely have a very accurate description.

That is, three "Shamate" punks.

One with red hair, one with blonde hair, and one with blue hair.

Plus Lu Yi, who had white hair.

Ahem, a meeting of the Tonys.

"Lu Yi, I didn't expect you, this piece of trash, to still dare to come back!"

The red-haired man in the lead had a temper as explosive as his hair; the moment he opened his mouth, it was as if he had eaten dynamite, ready to explode on the spot at any time.

Facing their mockery, Lu Yi curled his lips into a sneer, "If you few pieces of trash can be here, why wouldn't I dare to come back?"

"A person who can't even use Mental Power? Hahahaha..."

After the blonde man finished speaking, all three of them burst into loud laughter.

How arrogant the former genius used to be, yet now he was still being trampled under their feet.

The red-haired man stretched out a foot, revealing a shoe that shone with a reflection, his expression arrogant.

"Don't say we didn't give you a chance. As long as you obediently lick the sole of my shoe and greet us honestly whenever you see us in the future, we'll spare your life during the grand exam. How about it?"

His eyes were full of spiteful triumph, his head held high, looking at people through his nostrils.

Watching Lu Yi move.

The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened; no matter how awesome you used to be, now, you still have to obediently be his dog to please him!

The next second, Lu Yi stood still in front of him.

His foot stepped heavily onto that silver shoe, grinding down hard.

"This is my way of licking your shoe sole!"

Boom—the time bomb was ignited; a surge of hot blood rushed from the red-haired man's soles to his crown, and his face turned red with heat.

He used force with his hands to push the person away fiercely.

He raised his fist to strike, but was stopped by the two people behind him.

The blue-haired man signaled him to look up; there was campus surveillance software in the upper right corner.

Fighting or abusing Mental Power within the school, especially against classmates, would have very serious consequences if caught.

Not only would one be expelled from the school, but one would also face imprisonment.

Those who could come to the Interstellar Military Academy all had extremely high levels of Mental Power, and the family backgrounds of some did not allow for mistakes; once expelled, it meant one was a discarded pawn.

No one would give up their bright future for a moment of competitiveness.

After being reminded by the others, the red-haired man also looked at the upper right corner, and his full belly of rage was suppressed.

However, that didn't mean he would just let it go.

Harsh words still had to be said.

"Lu Yi, you better pray you can cower in the school for the rest of your life, and pray you don't get caught by me outside!"

His hand clenched into a fist, the ruthlessness on his face self-evident, "I will definitely kill you!"

The blonde man patted his shoulder, "You can hide for the first day, but not the fifteenth; during the grand exam, you'll still be at the mercy of others. Trash is just trash."

Lu Yi had one hand in his pocket, still wearing that look from before that didn't put them in his eyes, arrogant and unyielding, with that straight spine, a noble appearance that would not be broken.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Then let's wait and see!"

【Beep—】

A message from Ruan Mian came through on the Light Brain.

【Ruan Mian: Lu Yi, I made you something to eat. I want to sell Boxed Meals on my Light Brain; do you think it's dangerous?】

Lu Yi did not feel surprised that Ruan Mian would make such a decision.

After all, who told her to be such a little money-grubber!

【Lu Yi: If you want to sell, then sell. However, I suggest you don't make dishes that are obviously recognizable as plants right now, like stir-fried greens. I'll make you a signal-shielding software later; even if you sell vegetables, no one will be able to track your address.】

When Ruan Mian received Lu Yi's message, she couldn't have been happier.

It wasn't in vain that she had packed his lunch so full.

With this answer, she dared to let go and get to work!

To tell the truth, she had her eye on a garden villa for sale on the Light Brain; it looked truly super amazing.

Looking back at her own tin shed, her desire to earn money became even more determined!

"Alright, then let's start with one Boxed Meal!"

She swung the large ladle and looked confidently at the Simulation Human to the side, "917, wash the rice well; let's start cooking!"

The large pot of rice was set to boil in cold water, while she prepared the dishes on the side.

Green Pepper Shredded Potatoes for one, then stir-fried mushrooms, and also tomatoes to make tomato scrambled eggs.

Wait, are there chicken eggs in the Interstellar?

Harboring this doubt, she opened the Light Brain and entered "egg"; a whole bunch of various eggs popped up on the page.

Eggs of all colors and all species—it was simply magical.

However, there really were chicken eggs, and they were sold very cheaply too.

One hundred Interstellar Coins for five hundred eggs.

Ruan Mian didn't think too much and bought them directly; this was simply too good a deal.

When she took these five hundred eggs out from the Light Brain, she was shocked!
