"Ahen has grown up and become even more handsome. It's a good thing that girls are pursuing him."

"Sister, our family is too poor. I just want to earn money so you can have a better life."

Xiao Li nodded, "Ahen, don't worry about money. I'll earn it. You just need to focus on your studies."

Fenghen obediently agreed, and the two returned together to the small rented house nearby.

After Fenghen came to the First Mecha Academy, the original owner also moved to this area. She worked in a nearby bar, doing the simplest jobs to make a living.

The rented house was small, only enough for the original owner to live in, but the original owner still prepared two sets of household items so that Fenghen could come over to rest at any time.

"Sister, look what this is!"

Fenghen took a fruit out of his bag. It was an edible fruit that Liao Xingchen had discovered. People used to only use it for ornamental purposes, but they never expected it to taste so good when eaten raw.

"Try it, it tastes pretty good."

Xiao Li took a look and saw that it was red and fuzzy, and looked quite pretty; it turned out to be a rambutan.

Xiao Li thought back for a moment, and realized that no one in this world actually eats rambutans.

Because the rambutan has mutated, it not only shoots out its bristles, but also becomes hard like a hedgehog, and it can even explode when it encounters danger.

People have a natural aversion to the color red, especially to this dangerous fruit, and tend to keep their distance.

Some rambutans that haven't mutated are only kept for ornamental purposes and people don't dare to eat them.

"Liao said that this fruit is very delicious. After cultivation, it was indeed grown into an edible fruit that does not attack people."

Unfortunately, these fruits are very rare; we are only allocated one per week.

Xiao Li understood; Liao Xingchen had studied agriculture on Earth and was quite knowledgeable about planting.

Unfortunately, her ideals were too limited. After successfully cultivating delicious plants, she turned to the entertainment industry, focusing solely on gaining fans and making money, without considering how to benefit humanity.

Xiaoli peeled the fruit and gave half of the flesh to her younger brother. The two of them ate with relish and enjoyed the moment.

Fenghen is sensible. He often brings back the fruit distributed by the school to share with his sister. He comes back every day to spend some time with his sister.

Xiao Li also reached into her pocket and took out a handful of cherries. These were the fruits that the customers at the bar had ordered that day. The original owner of this body naturally didn't have any, but Xiao Li had plenty in her space.

"Today, a very generous customer at the bar ordered a plate of cherries, and there were quite a few left when he left, so I brought them back with me."

Xiao Li put the cherry into her younger brother's hand. Feng Hen was tall but very thin, which meant he wasn't getting enough nutrition. She would have to give him more nutrition in the future.

"My sister eats too."

Fenghen had no doubt about his sister's words; the original owner of this body was someone who always thought of her younger brother.

Bringing things back is perfectly normal, but in the past, I only brought back discarded items or scraps.

Xiao Li asked some questions about school, and Feng Hen answered them one by one. After a while, Xiao Li urged her younger brother to go back to school, and Feng Hen left.

Xiao Li looked at the small room, which was filled with recyclable waste brought back by the original owner. This was another source of income for the original owner: selling scrap.

Xiao Li packed them all up and sold them, deciding not to collect anything more. She then cleaned the house, and it finally looked pleasing to the eye.

The original owner was eighteen years old this year. She only studied for two years in a government-run free institution. After her parents had an accident, she lived with her younger brother.

With the inheritance left by their parents, the siblings finally grew up. Now that Fenghen has become successful, she is very happy and has moved to Dixing, just wanting to be closer to her brother.

However, she lacked education and skills, so she could only do the lowest-level jobs.

Xiao Li plans to quit her job. This job is barely enough to make ends meet, and she can't save any money at all, not to mention it's time-consuming and exhausting.

She needs to think it over carefully and find a path that suits her.

Humans in this world have mutated. Everyone has to have their mental strength level checked when they are five years old. The higher the level, the greater the potential.

Fenghen's level is B, while the original owner's level is C; they can only be considered ordinary people.

If their families were wealthy, they could still strive and achieve something even at level B. Unfortunately, they grew up without parents and had to rely on themselves.

Xiaoli asked 123 to search for suitable jobs online.

Having arrived in interstellar space, 123 was very excited; it could finally play a role.

"Master, watch me, I'll definitely find you a good job."

Although robots have emerged in this era and can replace most human jobs, they are expensive and not everyone can afford them.

Most people are still used to using cheap labor and only need to pay for some cheap food.

"Waiter, this is not good, it's taking too long."

"Bartender, this nightclub is too unsafe."

"Sorting workers deal with garbage all day long; it's so unhygienic."

"A planting apprentice becoming a farmer is such a low-class thing."

"Wait, this is it!"

Xiao Li thinks being a farmer is great; isn't her space perfect for this job?

123 retrieved the information: "Hiring planting apprentices. Must be hardworking, bold, and meticulous. The pay is one tube of low-grade nutrient solution per day. The address is Dixing Hope Farm."

"This is it. Hand over your resume."

123 quickly prepared a resume and submitted it.

I received a reply very quickly, and I can report for duty tomorrow.

When Fenghen returned home the next day, he found that his house had changed drastically.

"Sister, what did you say? You want to go to the farm?"

Xiao Li nodded. "I'm at ease with you at school. Now I need to find my own way out."

Liao Xingchen will meet the Second Prince next year; Fenghen is still safe now.

"Actually, I've always loved growing vegetables, and I wanted to cultivate new fruits and vegetables, so I decided to work on a farm."

The Hope Farm on the Imperial Star is a bit far from the academy, so the siblings won't be able to see each other every day anymore.

Fenghen lowered his head guiltily, "It's all because of me that my sister was delayed. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do the job she likes now."

Xiao Li really liked this well-behaved child.

"Ahen, you just need to focus on your studies. I can handle my own affairs."

Fenghen was a little worried, "Are you okay on the farm by yourself?"

Xiao Li reassured her, "I'll be careful. We'll call each other when we get there."

Xiao Li pointed to the communicator in her hand, which was issued by the government and whose information was recorded when everyone was born.

However, their communication devices can only make phone calls and access the internet to look up some basic information.

For more advanced uses, such as purchasing goods, you need to activate online credit score payment; for online learning and practicing combat, you need authorization from relevant departments.
