After finishing her meal, Xia Qingqing returned to her room and took out a chocolate-flavored popsicle from the system's inventory to eat.
Fortunately, the food in that era was not very oily, and she rarely cooked for herself, otherwise she would have really become a chubby girl.
After opening the system panel, it showed that her friend from the interstellar dimension had accepted her friend request.
Xia Qingqing was just about to send a message when a video call popped up on the panel.
Xia Qingqing clicked "agree," and a silver-haired, blue-eyed boy appeared on the system panel.
The boy, who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, had almost perfect features and a flawless face. He was now greeting him excitedly.
"Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Glake."
"Are you called Xia Qingqing? That's a very nice name."
"Wow, why does your place look so dilapidated? I've never seen houses like this before. The system said your place is an ancient dimension, like ancient Earth?"
"Then your plane of existence must have plenty of all-natural food, right? Could you trade some with me?"
Xia Qingqing was bombarded with questions like machine gun fire, unable to get a word in edgewise. Seeing that the other person showed no sign of stopping, Xia Qingqing quickly made a pause gesture.
“Mr. Glek, could you please stop for a moment? I need to answer your questions one by one.”
Goodness, her filter for this face shattered instantly; no matter how handsome he is, it can't hide the fact that he's a chatterbox.
Glek blushed slightly, a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I was just a little too excited. I'm not usually like this."
Glek was filled with regret. How could he not control his mouth? The lady opposite him must have a very bad first impression of him.
Xia Qingqing indicated that she didn't mind, and then asked, "You just said you wanted all-natural food? Don't you have that in your interstellar dimension?"
Perhaps sensing that Xia Qingqing disliked his chatter, Glek lowered his voice:
"Yes, there are some, but the quantity is very small and the price is too expensive. I've only eaten them a few times in my life. We usually eat nutrient solutions."
"Xia Qingqing, would you like to try the nutrient solution? I'll give you some as a gift."
Without waiting for Xia Qingqing's reply, Glek directly sent her 10 vials of nutrient solution.
Xia Qingqing looked at the somewhat naive boy with amusement. They were bound to an interdimensional trading system, and since the other party had given her nutrient solution, she couldn't let him suffer a loss.
Remembering that Glek said he wanted all-natural food, Xia Qingqing sent him five apples and five pears as a return gift. Fruits should be natural enough, right?
"Wow, what are these? Are they for me?" Gladley asked excitedly, holding an apple in his left hand and a pear in his right.
Xia Qingqing nodded: "It's a return gift for you. The red one is called an apple, and the yellow one is called a pear."
"How do you eat these things? Can you teach me?" Gladley asked Xia Qingqing expectantly.
"Just eat it directly, throw away the pits inside," Xia Qingqing didn't know if there was soil in interstellar space, so she didn't mention planting it for the time being.
Upon hearing this, Glek took a big bite of the apple, the sweet aroma bursting in his mouth, and his silver eyes narrowed into slits.
In less than a minute, the big apple was devoured by Glek.
Glek said somewhat embarrassedly, "Xia Qingqing, thank you for the apples and pears. The nutrient solution I gave you is nowhere near as valuable as these two. Is there anything else you want?"
Xia Qingqing didn't know much about interstellar space. What she was most curious about was mecha, which she had only seen in novels.
If she could get her hands on a mecha, wouldn't that be incredibly cool?
When Xia Qingqing said she wanted a mecha, Glek looked somewhat troubled.
Xia Qingqing thought it was because the mecha was too expensive. Didn't Glek just say that his family was too poor to afford all-natural food?
So he suggested, "I can continue to provide you with plenty of all-natural food. You can sell the food and then help me buy a small mech, how about that?"
"It's not just that. Mechs are indeed very expensive, but to pilot one, you need to have a mental strength of at least A-level and a physical fitness of at least B-level. You might..." Glek didn't finish his sentence.
However, Xia Qingqing knew what he meant, which was that he felt his mental strength level was not high enough.
Xia Qingqing asked with some curiosity, "How do I test my mental strength level? Can I test my mental strength level?"
Glek hesitated for a while before saying, "I can help you get a mental strength testing helmet, but you must return it to me immediately after you've taken the test."
Their students' testing hall has mental strength testing helmets. If it's just a short-term teleportation to Xia Qingqing, there shouldn't be a big problem. But if Xia Qingqing doesn't return it after using it, then he's doomed.
"Don't worry, I'll return it to you right away after I'm done using it. I have no use for it," Xia Qingqing assured her earnestly.
Glek felt that Xia Qingqing was still trustworthy, and nodded, saying, "I'll contact you again later. I have to hang up now because I have training."
"Bye-bye," Xia Qingqing waved to him, and the video call was disconnected the next second.
Xia Qingqing took out all 10 vials of nutrient solution from the system warehouse. There were two different colors, five white and five green. She wondered what they tasted like.
However, she had just finished eating and couldn't eat anymore, so she planned to try it tomorrow morning.
"Qingqing, the bath water is ready, come out and take a bath."
Zhang Hongyan urged her from outside the door, and Xia Qingqing quickly put the nutrient solution back into the system warehouse and then left the room.
The next day, when Xia Qingqing woke up, her parents had already gone to work in the fields, while Gou Dan was quietly doing his homework in the main room.
Xia Qingqing raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, "Oh, why are you being so well-behaved today?"
"Sis, I've always been a good girl, don't wrong me," Gou Dan pouted unhappily.
He's been in the top three in his class every time since first grade, so how can he not be considered a good student?
"I misspoke. You stay here and do your homework. I'm going back to my room."
Gou Dan quickly called out to her, "Sis, you haven't had breakfast yet. Mom left some for you in the pot."
His sister is really something, sleeping so late every day and then not even eating breakfast. That's not good for her health.
Gou Dan went on and on, leaving Xia Qingqing completely bewildered.
"I'm going to eat now, right away," Xia Qingqing said as if she were fleeing to the kitchen, but in reality, she put the breakfast into the system's warehouse.
