Chapter 266 The Yuan Family is the Richest
Branno rubbed his hands excitedly around the giant peach. "Shao Qi, do you have a fruit knife or a kitchen knife? A dagger that hasn't been used to kill anyone and hasn't stained anyone with blood will do."
Liu Shaoqi glanced at him, then silently took out a long, sharp machete from the space.
This was what they had wanted to take to Siceri, where the elves lived, to sell. They had a lot of fruits and were very particular about them, so they needed a lot of knives. The watermelon knife was naturally used to cut watermelons.
But looking at this giant peach that's almost the size of a watermelon, there's nothing wrong with using a watermelon knife.
"Thanks." Branno took it happily, then with a sharp knife, he neatly divided the giant peach into three equal parts.
There is no need to peel the peaches because they are already ripe. The outer layer of skin is easy to tear off. You can tear off a large piece at a time. In a few seconds, the juicy and tender pink peach flesh inside will be revealed.
Even though Branno was a great nobleman in the empire and had attended various high-end banquets, he had never seen such a big, sweet, and juicy peach.
Unable to hold back, he wiped his hands with a handkerchief and then grabbed the peach flesh and started biting it.
The first bite was sweet with a pure natural peach flavor, which was more delicious than the highest grade tribute from the elves.
Branno's eyes lit up while he ate, and he didn't even care about aristocratic etiquette. He licked the juice flowing from the corner of his mouth and began to eat with relish.
Liu Shaoqi hesitated for a moment, then took a small knife and cut off a small piece of peach flesh from his portion and put it in his mouth, wanting to test it first.
As soon as the peach flesh entered his mouth and he bit it with his teeth, the rich and sweet peach juice instantly filled his entire mouth. Even a cold-blooded Liu Shaoqi's expression now showed enjoyment.
Then his eyes lit up and fell on the remaining peach flesh, with a hint of joy and excitement in his eyes.
He was different from Branno, Yun Ting, Yuan An and others. Branno was born into a noble family, and even as the second son he enjoyed countless wealth.
Although the Yun family, to which Yun Ting and Yun He belong, is now silent in the empire, the Yun family's foundation is there, and they will not suffer too much since childhood;
Not to mention Yuan An. Although the Yuan family only bought the lowest-level baron title later, they are rich. Not counting the hidden assets, just counting the visible assets, the Yuan family can be regarded as the richest family in the empire.
Of course, this richest man is only the richest man in name only. There are still many nobles with deep backgrounds who have not revealed their assets. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who the richest man is. So the Yuan family took advantage of this title.
But even so, the Yuan family's wealth cannot be underestimated.
Yuan An is the only legitimate son of the head of the Yuan family. He has inherited the Yuan family's spatial ability. More importantly, his biological mother is a lady from a viscount's family, a true aristocrat.
Therefore, the head of the Yuan family is a playboy and no matter how many illegitimate sons and daughters he has outside, they can never surpass him. He still lives the life of an only child in the Yuan family, and as the heir of the Yuan family, his life is even better than heaven.
Compared to them who had no worries about food and clothing since childhood, the other two people who followed Wu Xingyu, Du Luke and Liu Shaoqi, were born into poverty.
Duluk was luckier. Although he was sold by his family when he was a child, he was directly bought by the imperial royal family and was trained since he was a child. Although the training was a bit hard, he had plenty of good food to eat as he followed the guard team, and his salary was not low.
So in reality, Liu Shaoqi, who had struggled all the way from the garbage planet to the Imperial Academy, was the one who had suffered the most.
But he is unwilling to be mediocre, and he possesses dual-system supernatural talents that are difficult for ordinary people to possess. He also has an extraordinary obsession with food, so he works very hard even if he is on a garbage planet.
He relied on his own efforts to be admitted to the Imperial Academy, and later graduated early as an outstanding student and joined the Imperial Army. At a young age, he had already climbed to the rank of major.
If he had not taken action when he saw injustice and offended a noble who had robbed a woman, causing the noble to attack him and frame him, he might still be continuing his training in the army, accumulating military merits, accumulating energy coins to increase his rank, and working hard to improve his life.
But now, as he savored the delicious peach flesh in his mouth, he thought that being rescued by the Third Prince and following him ever since might have been the best decision he had ever made in his life.
That’s right, this is the reality for uninformed foodies.
He grew up drinking nutrient solution. He had tried inferior, primary, and intermediate nutrient solutions, but only the top-level nutrient solution moved him a little. Later, after following the Third Prince to get some fresh fruits and vegetables several times, he developed a great interest in the things grown by the elves.
But now, he felt that this peach flesh was the love of his life, even more than any other fruit or vegetable grown by the elves. This peach was simply too delicious, and he was so glad that he had decisively followed the Third Prince.
Looking at Branno and Duluk who were eating peaches with relish, Liu Shaoqi also felt a sense of urgency. He no longer cared about his cool guy image. He wiped his hands, picked up the peach flesh with both hands, and started to bite it.
The three of them had their mouths and hands full of juice, but they were smiling and looked quite happy. Wu Xingyu frowned again. They had such bad eating manners, so shameful!
"Hey, there are a lot of energy weapons here."
While Branno and the other two were enjoying their meal, Yun Qimu was still trying hard to open the box in the dark room.
Look, she actually opened a few boxes of energy guns and energy lightsabers as a consolation.
These things are much more valuable to her than nutrient solution and fruits.
Wu Xingyu also walked over to take a look, but her beautiful brows immediately frowned.
"What's wrong?" Yun Qimu noticed his abnormality and asked in surprise.
Wu Xingyu picked up an energy gun and said solemnly, "These are the Empire's latest energy weapons. They were released from the Imperial Research Institute along with my battleship."
So it was a bit strange that these energy weapons appeared in Lin Qiu's dark room.
You know, the new energy weapons have not been publicly sold to the outside world yet. How did Lin Qiu, an exiled person on the planet, get them?
Yun Qimu immediately understood, with a hint of excitement on her face. What Caleb had told her before, that there might be a channel hidden in Lin Qiu's treasure house that could transmit things to the outside world, might be true.
Yun Qimu immediately became excited and turned his head to scan the dark room carefully, looking at every inch, determined not to miss any place.
Finally, her eyes fell on the somewhat abrupt stone platform in the center of the dark room.
"There--"
She pointed and walked over with Wu Xingyu.
Wu Xingyu was confused and didn't know what she was looking for. After following her force, he asked in a deep voice, "What are you looking for?"
