The Strongest Mech Master in the Interstellar Era

In the 4710th year of the Federal Calendar, 15-year-old girl Lian Han leaves the planet she lives on with a card system, a residual soul, and three small beasts, heading for the Imperial Capital St...

Chapter 6 A Dispute Caused by a Plate of Meat

Once the person settled down, Lian Han's gaze swept across the entire room. A bed, a hibernation pod, a separate bathroom, a virtual reality headset, and a cleaning robot were the basic amenities; there was nothing more.

This is where she will be living for the next month. A month later, the starship will arrive at the Imperial Capital.

Regarding this starship speed—university starts in September—Lian Han felt that she hadn't left early at all.

After putting on the gray mask, Lian Han retrieved Xing Ye from the biological storage tank, and the two of them left the room.

The starship was huge. Even Han had to use the map on the AI ​​to find the restaurant accurately. She said Xingye was hungry, and that wasn't entirely unfounded—she was hungry, so it was safe to assume the little guy wasn't much hungrier.

Old Xing, who also saw the restaurant, thought: ...Nonsense. You're hungry, but you insist on blaming your pet. Don't think that will hide the fact that you're a foodie too!

Lian Han arrived at the restaurant full of enthusiasm, but her spirits dampened after seeing the menu. The dishes looked appealing with their names and pictures, but please, don't list the ingredients!

Looking at the menu full of various insects, Lian Han felt a deep sense of repulsion. Why would insects be considered food? Shouldn't these creatures, who are mortal enemies of humans, be poisonous or have no value for consumption at all?

[Young lady, your resentful look doesn't match your outfit at all.] Old Man Xing gloated.

[Not a good match?] Lian Han's tone rose.

[Actually, the Federation has put in a lot of effort to provide this food on civilian starships. These insects are quite beneficial to the human body. Do you know how much manpower and resources the Federation expends every year just to improve the physical condition of the general population? If this stuff were sold in a restaurant on the Imperial Star, the price would be at least a zero higher. And you're still complaining?]

[I have a bone marrow cleansing card.]

These things improve physical constitution gradually and require long-term consumption, which she doesn't need at all. The Marrow Cleansing Card produced by the system washes away impurities and strengthens the body; although its uses are limited, it's enough to support her up to 3S.

So Lian Han's words completely shut down Old Man Xing. After a long silence, the latter suddenly found a way in: "[You don't want it? Your Xiao Ye really likes it. Why don't you order one for him?]"

Lian Han looked down and saw the little guy in her arms staring longingly at the grilled insect legs at the top of the menu. Lian Han's lips twitched. She ordered what it wanted, and then, estimating Xing Ye's appetite, ordered some other dishes that looked good. She decided to go back and drink her nutritional supplements; those would provide the energy she needed for a day's activities.

Every time she was with Xiao Ye, she felt like she wasn't a proper foodie. Lian Han sighed, picked up Xiao Ye, and casually found a table to sit down. She didn't notice that after she ordered, the grilled worm legs in the section were sold out.

“My…who…damn it…” A commotion suddenly broke out at the nearby dining table. Lian Han put Xing Ye on the table and looked over with some confusion, but only saw the raised partition.

Once guests are seated, a partition will rise around the table to prevent them from being disturbed while dining; these are basic amenities. However, the privacy of civilian starships is not very good; at the very least, the soundproofing is inadequate, and you can't speak loudly if you're not careful.

But that had nothing to do with her. Lian Han waited until the little guy finished eating before taking it back. After it fell asleep, she would go and check out the other parts of the starship.

In some ways, Lian Han really dotes on Xing Ye. However, firstly, although the little guy has become a card, Xing Ye has actually been with her since before she had the system; secondly, the first alien beast is too monstrous, far beyond what she can spoil, and the third one, Xing Yan, is still asleep.

So only Xingye is left.

The food arrived quickly. Lian Han arranged the food brought by the robot and then scooped Xing Ye into her arms. Letting it eat by itself would only make a mess of the place, and it might even splash her with food.

[This is amazing! You might as well quit being a card maker and become a pet breeder. You'd be absolutely brilliant.]

"[I'm willing, so what?]" Lian Han replied to Old Man Xing, then started feeding Xing Ye, "Come on, Zhang..."

The partition door was suddenly kicked down, and Lian Han was shocked: ? ? ?

"Give me a roasted insect leg—you actually gave it to a beast?" The first to speak was a blond boy, whose ability to cause trouble was off the charts. This one sentence crossed Lian Han's bottom line.

Lian Han's smile faded. "I paid for the food in Federal Dollars, so it's my business how I handle it."

The girl's voice was like a silver bell, yet tinged with coldness; her words were like a clear spring, soothing and refreshing. Hearing this voice, the person knew in their heart that they had found it.

But none of this concerned the boy. He pointed at Lian Han and said, "What a waste! Such precious food, and you're feeding it to animals? Do you know how much effort the Federation put into making this, and how valuable it is?"

Lian Han's gaze swept over the boy and the several young men and women beside him. They were dressed plainly, but all of them were good-looking and exuded an air of nobility. Moreover, judging from their strength, they were no ordinary people.

One A, two Bs, one C, and the leader was even worse, a D-level. But looking at their ages, they were all quite talented, neither too young nor too old.

Coming here just for a plate of meat? That's really unreasonable.

Lian Han tossed the slice of meat he had picked up to Xing Ye, patted its head, and Xing Ye followed its master's gaze to the newcomer. It opened its mouth and spat out an ice sculpture.

"Tianze!"

"you……"

"Xiao Ye," Lian Han said lazily, picking up another slice of meat, "My Xiao Ye can't stand being scolded. I'm really sorry."

"It was clearly you who instigated this beast..." Shui Yixuan, the girl next to her, was displeased, but before she could finish speaking, she was sprayed with a cold breath again. Fortunately, Li Yixun, who was next to her, protected her in time, so that there would be no more ice sculptures.

"See? Xiao Ye really hates being scolded the most. I can't usually get it to do anything, but it always gets scolded." Lian Han explained, while still feeding it. Its nonchalant attitude would infuriate anyone who saw it.

“My younger brother is unruly, but this is a public place. Please stop, Miss.” Li Yixun stepped forward.

"Stop? What did I do?" Lian Han asked innocently.

An old man had already offered his condolences. Don't let Lian Han's usual cold demeanor fool you; once you cross her line, she can skin you alive with a smile. Unfortunately, Xing Ye falls into that category. He usually doesn't even dare to scold the little guy!

Li Yixun repeated, "Please stop with your exotic pet, Miss."

Lian Han raised an eyebrow, glanced at the guard robot that was about to arrive, patted Xing Ye's head, and the latter quickly withdrew the ice, leaving only a lot of water stains on the young man Li Tianze.

"You bitch!" Li Tianze raised his hand and threw a card.

"Tianze, stop!" Li Yixun's face darkened.

It's a wind-elemental attack card. Truly a noble scion.

Although he recognized it at a glance, Lian Han was not in a hurry and showed no intention of defending himself.

"A malicious attack has been detected. The perpetrator will be arrested shortly. Please cease your attack immediately and give up any resistance."

"Oh no." Lin Shaohui, standing next to him, sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Li Tianze paused, holding the card, and tried to explain, "I didn't, I just wanted to..."

"Really not?" The girl's smile was his response.
