Although Glek wanted to ask Xia Qingqing for more all-natural food, he didn't know the plane Xia Qingqing lived in. After thinking for a long time, he finally gave up and could only let Xia Qingqing set the price.
Xia Qingqing was prepared for him to make exorbitant demands, but he turned out to be so pathetic.
However, Xia Qingqing didn't intend to trick him. The method of cultivating mental power was indeed very precious, and she couldn't just use a few pounds of fruit to fool Glek.
Thinking of the indescribable taste of the nutrient solution, Xia Qingqing thought she could prepare more rice, flour, meat, vegetables, and other supplies for Glek so that the poor little guy could experience the charm of delicious food.
However, there is still a problem.
"Glake, can you cook, or is there anyone in your family who can cook?"
"Cooking? You mean making ancient Earth cuisine?" Although Glek didn't understand why Xia Qingqing asked this, he still honestly shook his head.
"No, only chefs know how to cook, but most of them only serve royalty and nobles."
There's no other way. Since Glek can't cook, preparing rice and noodles for him would be a waste. It's better to just give him the finished product.
Fortunately, Xia Qingqing had some pre-packaged lunch boxes in her system warehouse. These lunch boxes were prepared by Zhou Wei so that she could change her diet whenever she wanted.
There were 23 boxed meals left, and Xia Qingqing sent them all to Glek. Then she also sent him a box of apples, a box of pears, a box of bananas, and 10 large watermelons, each weighing about ten kilograms.
Sending over such a large quantity of items seems quite substantial.
"Greek, can these things be traded for methods of cultivating mental power?"
Glek nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I'll teach you how to cultivate right away."
This was the first time he had ever seen so much all-natural food. If he sold it, wouldn't he be able to earn a ton of interstellar coins? Hahaha, he was going to be rich!
Glek's family was neither rich nor poor; his ancestors had once been nobles, but by his father's generation, they had fallen into decline.
However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Compared to the nobles, his family was indeed somewhat lacking, but compared to ordinary commoners, his family still had some assets.
The wealth inherited from his ancestors was enough to support the Glek family's comfortable life, and he even owned a mech.
This mech was bought for him by his father when he was admitted to the interstellar military academy. It cost nearly 2 million interstellar coins, almost emptying half of the family's savings. However, Gleik's parents did not feel any heartache for their son's future.
Although Glek believes that he will be able to give his parents a better life sooner or later, it would be even better if he could make a fortune now by selling all-natural foods.
Glek patiently taught Xia Qingqing how to cultivate her mental power, and the lesson lasted for two hours.
Xia Qingqing finally grasped a little bit of the threshold of mental power cultivation.
"Just practice according to the methods I taught you from now on. But cultivation is something that can't be rushed. The growth of mental strength is very slow. You have to persevere." Glek was a little worried that Xia Qingqing would be too eager for quick results and hurt herself instead.
Xia Qingqing looked at Glek gratefully and said, "Thank you, I will cultivate diligently."
Xia Qingqing was extremely excited; finally, there was a cultivation method she could practice on her own.
Gu Yunshu had told her before that scientists in the post-apocalyptic world had developed a potion that could stimulate superpowers, but that potion had significant side effects. Although Xia Qingqing coveted superpowers, she didn't dare to try it easily.
If she can cultivate her mental power to level A, it will be equivalent to possessing a mental superpower.
In the days that followed, Xia Qingqing became so engrossed in cultivating her spiritual power that she rarely went out, except to help Xia Heping deliver goods to the county.
Xia Heping and his wife assumed that their daughter didn't want to go out because of the hot weather, and they didn't think anything of it.
A week passed, and Xia Qingqing finally felt that her mental strength had improved slightly. Although the improvement was minimal, it gave Xia Qingqing a little hope.
......
Meanwhile, Glek was thinking about how to sell the all-natural food he had acquired through the trade.
He was just an ordinary student with no experience in doing business. After careful consideration, he decided to leave the matter to his parents.
This was also the result of Glek's careful consideration. He was his parents' only child, and no matter what, his parents would never harm him.
In addition, he has to attend classes and train regularly, so he doesn't have much energy to sell those all-natural foods. Letting his parents handle it would make things much easier for him.
When Glek got home for the weekend, he immediately told his parents about it.
"Son, have you gone crazy from playing games?" Mr. Carl of Gleek was somewhat skeptical of his son's words, thinking that his son had been playing virtual games for too long and was no longer able to distinguish between the real world and the game world.
Mrs. Carl was immediately displeased when she heard her husband say such things about their son: "What nonsense are you talking about? My precious son is the best, he would never lie to us about something like this."
Glek hugged his mother, moved, saying, "Thank you for believing in me."
“But it’s understandable that Dad doesn’t believe me. I can prove that everything I said is true,” Glek said with a mysterious smile.
Then, he took some of the food that Xia Qingqing had given him from the system's warehouse.
Glek already had a spatial button, so Mr. Carl wasn't surprised by his son's ability to conjure things out of thin air, but all the things on the ground were ones he had never seen before.
"Are these the all-natural foods you mentioned? Why are they so different from anything I've ever seen?" Mr. Carl asked, puzzled.
Glek patiently explained to his father, "These are foods from another dimension, of course they're different."
Mrs. Carl exclaimed excitedly, "Honey, what are all these things? They look so delicious!"
"Mom, this is an apple, this is a watermelon... and this lunchbox is especially delicious, even better than the fancy restaurants you used to take me to for my birthday."
As he spoke, Glek opened a boxed lunch. Because the system's warehouse had a heat preservation effect, the boxed lunch was still warm, and the aroma of the food filled the entire room in an instant.
Carl and his wife swallowed in unison; the taste was so delicious, they really wanted to eat it!
Glek handed one to each of his parents: "Mom and Dad, you should try it, it tastes really good."
Mr. Carl immediately slapped his son on the head: "You spendthrift! Take it back right now. One serving is enough for the three of us."
“Son, your father is right. We can’t waste such good things. Your parents can just have a taste,” Mrs. Carl agreed.
Glek had no choice but to put the extra lunchboxes back into the system warehouse.
The family shared a boxed meal with great satisfaction, and Mr. Carl couldn't help but exclaim, "This food is so delicious, I would be willing to buy it even if it cost 10,000 interstellar coins."
