When Xia Qingqing reached the thirtieth floor, she was too tired to move anymore, so she found a sofa in the rest area and sat down to rest.
This shopping mall is so big, she felt a little dizzy from browsing all the dazzling array of goods.
However, she also had a fruitful shopping experience, buying a whole bunch of interesting and miscellaneous things, which she will study carefully when she gets back.
"Qingqing, how about we go upstairs for a stroll? Lieutenant Xize has given us access to the top floors," Glake said enticingly.
Well, to be honest, he'd never been to the top floors either, and he wanted to see what it was like.
Xia Qingqing yawned, lifted her eyelids and glanced at Glek: "I don't want to move anymore, let's go next time when we have time."
Glek was a little disappointed: "Okay, shall we go back now?"
"Let's go back. It's lunchtime. Let's treat the Marshal to a meal to express our gratitude," Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
Unfortunately, when the two returned to the Marshal's Mansion, Maurice and Caesar had gone out on business.
Xia Qingqing shrugged: "Never mind then, I'll treat them to dinner next time. I'm going back to my room to rest now, Glek, you should go back too."
“Okay, I should be rejoining the team tomorrow, so I probably won’t be able to come see you,” Glek said dejectedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, you go ahead and do your thing, I can take care of myself," Xia Qingqing said nonchalantly.
Glek feigned sadness and pouted, "You heartless bastard! I was worried you'd be bored all by yourself, and now you think I'm superfluous?"
Xia Qingqing quickly admitted her mistake: "How could that be? I actually really wanted you to go out with me, but I was just afraid of holding you back."
"Hmph, better be it," Glek said angrily as he left.
Xia Qingqing watched his retreating figure and touched her nose. Okay, she admitted that she and men really didn't have much in common. Like today, when she went shopping and wanted Glek to give her some advice, he wouldn't say anything but "Great! Nice! Buy it!"
As soon as Xia Qingqing returned to her room, she unloaded all the things she had bought that day, instantly piling up various shopping bags on the living room floor.
The nanny robot was released from the system warehouse and instructed: "Pick out the clothes on the ground, rinse them with water and dry them."
"Yes, Master," the nanny robot began to work diligently.
Xia Qingqing then began to examine the other things she had bought.
The first thing was a quantum computer. It was Glek who reminded her to buy it. Her system panel was currently unusable, so Glek had nowhere to send her messages. Therefore, he immediately bought her a quantum computer after this trip so that the two of them could communicate in the future.
However, although she already has a quantum computer, she cannot use it yet because activating it requires binding an interstellar resident's identity card, which Xia Qingqing does not have; she is currently an unregistered resident.
Unfortunately, Glek couldn't solve this problem for Xia Qingqing; he didn't have that much authority.
Xia Qingqing plans to go to Morris tomorrow to ask him if it shouldn't be a problem for him, as the marshal of the empire, to arrange an identity for her.
Setting the computer aside, Xia Qingqing picked up the fully automatic makeup machine that piqued her interest. It contained a complete set of cosmetics, and she could choose the makeup look she wanted on the screen.
Xia Qingqing chose a pure and alluring style that was the same as the one worn by celebrities. There were even detailed descriptions on the product page. This makeup look was used by the famous actress Mo Lin as the female lead in her latest drama.
As soon as she put her face on the machine, she felt something being applied to her face, and in less than five minutes, it indicated that her makeup was complete.
Xia Qingqing looked at herself in the mirror with great interest. Hmm, not bad, much better than she had expected.
Although she couldn't compare to the makeup artists she had met who could completely change someone's face, her skills were on par with hers.
In the future, whenever I want to do my makeup but find it troublesome, I can take it out and use it. It's convenient and quick.
......
The next day, after having breakfast, Xia Qingqing went to find the steward of the Marshal's Mansion.
"Uncle Butler, is the Marshal home today?"
"Miss Xia, is there anything I can do for the Marshal?" The butler asked with a polite and proper smile, a stark contrast to how Xia Qingqing had first met him, as if they were two completely different people.
Xia Qingqing nodded: "Yes, I need to talk to him about something. Could you please tell him for me?"
She had been staying there for several days, and each time Caesar would come to find her. When she wanted to go find Maurice and Caesar, she found that she couldn't find them. Fortunately, the butler was there to help pass on messages.
The butler's smile remained unchanged: "Okay, I'll send a message to the adjutant right away."
After receiving the message, Xize had the butler take Xia Qingqing to the study.
As soon as Xia Qingqing stepped into the study, she was met with Xize's smiling face: "Good morning, Miss Xia. I heard from the butler that you have something to discuss with the Marshal?"
Xia Qingqing immediately nodded and looked at Morris sitting in the chair, saying, "Oh right, I bought a quantum computer when I went shopping yesterday, but I can't use it. I would like to ask Marshal for a favor. I wonder if it would be convenient for you?"
“Yes, Xize, please help Miss Xia with this,” Morris said in a cool voice.
Xia Qingqing smiled happily: "Thank you, Marshal. I would like to invite you both to lunch. Do you have time?"
“Yes, absolutely,” Xize replied quickly.
Morris remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Xize arranged for Xia Qingqing to have the identity of a resident of a remote star, and from then on she was a legal resident in interstellar space.
After receiving the certification, Xia Qingqing immediately activated the optical computer she was wearing.
She also added Caesar and Morris's contact information so that she wouldn't have to go through the butler to contact them anymore.
It was noon soon, and Xia Qingqing went to the dining hall ahead of time.
Since she was treating someone to a meal, she naturally wanted to serve something different. She knew that there was no hot pot in interstellar space, so she specially prepared a hot pot feast.
Considering that Morris and Caesar might not be able to handle spicy food, we also made a half-and half-half hot pot.
As soon as Xize entered the dining room, he smelled a strong aroma: "Miss Xia, what are you making? These dishes all look raw."
"I'm treating you to hot pot today. Just put the vegetables in this pot to cook, then dip them in some sauce and you're good to go," Xia Qingqing warmly invited the two to sit down, giving off an air of being the hostess.
Xia Qingqing explained to the two how to eat hot pot and then prepared a bowl of dipping sauce for them: "Try the taste first. If you don't like what I made, just make a new one yourself."
Xize was very interested in this new thing, and following Xia Qingqing's example, he cooked a slice of beef in the broth. The spicy and savory flavor immediately awakened his taste buds.
"Delicious, so delicious!" Xize's lips were bright red, but his hands moved quickly as he picked up the food.
Morris ate a clear broth hot pot, paired with sesame sauce prepared by Xia Qingqing. The rich sesame sauce and the aroma of the meat blended together perfectly, making it impossible for him to stop eating.
