Chapter 195 Are you really not losing out?
Xi Yue's heart pounded. She swallowed hard, quickly closed the lid of the box, and then put it back in the warehouse.
The fruit smelled amazing. All citizens of the Federation Interstellar Community have been given a genetic modification serum after birth, which greatly enhances their vision, sense of smell, and physical strength. Therefore, she cannot keep the box open for too long, and she certainly cannot eat these things here.
Otherwise, going out would definitely attract the attention of other people...
She immediately changed her original plan, deciding not to go to the Energy Recycling Bureau today and instead find a safe place to settle down temporarily.
After putting the suitcase away, she pretended to have just used the restroom and washed her hands before casually returning to her seat.
Soon, they arrived at Star 736. Xi Yue found a chain hotel in the Federation Interstellar Park known for its affordable and reliable prices. She first grabbed a special offer room on the computer. The original price was 299 Star Coins, but because she was a new user, she had several large coupons. In addition, the hotel had already set a discounted price, so Xi Yue only spent 19 Star Coins when she placed the order.
Although it's only for one night, it's safe and reliable, and in Xi Yue's opinion, it's still good value for money.
Although the quantum computer can enable real-time monitoring, and the crime rate of interstellar robbery and assault in the Federation is very low, if her abnormality is noticed by someone, there are still many ways for others to deal with her.
If she were just a regular garbage collector, no one would bother with her. But she has quite a few valuable items in her possession, so safety should be the priority, and spending a little more money is necessary.
The Federation's interstellar technology is advanced, so artificial intelligence is used in many aspects. For example, in hotel check-in, some hotels, in order to appear high-end, do not even have front desk staff. After the customer places an order through their personal computer, the customer's order information is directly uploaded to the hotel terminal through the personal computer.
When Xi Yue arrived at the hotel, the built-in scanner at the hotel entrance automatically scanned her iris to identify her identity, and then directly opened the door for her and took her to the corresponding room floor in one go. Xi Yue didn't have to do anything; she could just follow the instructions.
Once in the room, there's no need for room cards or keys; you can simply swipe your iris to enter. And within the validity period of the booking, only Xi Yue has the right to enter and exit the room. Anyone else, such as hotel staff or robots, must obtain Xi Yue's consent to enter.
Upon arriving at her hotel room, Xi Yue remembered the trash she had spent half the day collecting and quickly took a shower.
Then, she excitedly took out the three large boxes from the system warehouse. The first box contained various high-end fruits. Her computer had a built-in radiation detector, so she used it to check the fruits when she opened the box. All the fruits were at the G radiation level.
The Federation's interstellar ranks are all assigned using letters, from highest to lowest: SSS/SS/S, then A/B/C down to G. In fact, G already represents zero or infinitely close to zero.
Her mental strength level is F, which is already among the lowest in the Federation Interstellar Community, because all citizens of the Federation Interstellar Community have drunk the gene modification fluid and basically none of them have G-level mental strength.
She opened the second box, which contained various boxed meal sets, including staple food, vegetables, and meat. The computer also showed that the radiation level was G.
The third box contained some things she had seen in textbooks, and some she hadn't seen before. Some were liquids, and some were solids, but they all smelled good, and all had a radiation level of G and were all green.
Xi Yue was stunned again, her mind going blank: Good heavens, she received so much food with a radiation level of G from a few pieces of junk?
A single leaf of vegetable costs at least 10,000 star coins, not to mention fruits and such... There are so many, she can't even calculate how many star coins she needs. At least 10 million, no, no, no, 10 million might not be enough. How about 100 million?
She couldn't figure it out, but Xi Yue couldn't resist any longer. She picked up the spoon that came with her lunchbox, reverently picked up a leafy green vegetable, and put it in her mouth to chew carefully.
So this is what high-end vegetables taste like. They have a unique flavor. The ones she's eating now have a very crisp texture and a hint of sweetness.
After finishing the bite of greens, Xi Yue realized she had actually cried. She wiped away her tears and continued eating other vegetables. This red one looked like the carrot in the textbook; it smelled delicious and tasted sweet…
Xi Yue ate while savoring the textures of the various dishes.
This was the first time in her life she had ever eaten high-end ingredients. She had once saved up her scholarship money by using the excuse of buying stationery or other things, and it took her a long time to muster up the courage to order a plate of vegetables at a restaurant. The radiation level was E, and if an ordinary person ate a small amount of it every month, they would be able to eliminate it on their own without needing a special detoxification injection.
The plate was bigger than Xi Yue's head, but it only had two E-grade green vegetables on it. Even this one serving cost her 600 star coins, and she could only afford it because she got a coupon.
The taste wasn't actually that great. She had never eaten raw vegetables before, but she thought they were delicious, a hundred times better than nutritional supplements.
Because she had always been drinking the cheapest, somewhat strange-tasting nutritional supplements, her wish had always been to taste the raw, unprocessed vegetables that hadn't been made into nutritional supplements.
However, up until today, she had only eaten it once, and she still remembered the taste.
Unexpectedly, she ate not just one or two pieces of green vegetables today, but several kinds of green vegetables, and the radiation level was G. The taste was very delicious, 1000 times more delicious than the E-level green vegetables she ate last time!
The raw ingredients in the Federation's interstellar region are too few to eat directly, so they are quite expensive. Their cooking emphasizes preserving the flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent possible, so they only use two methods: boiling or steaming, without any seasonings, in order to preserve the original taste.
But today, Xi Yue felt that her taste buds were greatly impacted. She ate sweet, salty, and slightly spicy food, which was both stimulating and sour. She couldn't stop eating and ate until she was stuffed.
Who would believe it if I told them? One day she actually ate G-grade ingredients until she was stuffed!
Fortunately, her body had been modified with gene-editing fluid, so she could eat foods with low levels of radiation directly, and there was no need to worry about gastrointestinal irritation or allergies.
After eating and drinking her fill, Xi Yue carefully put the boxes into the system warehouse before she had the mind to review today's transactions. After thinking for a while, she felt uneasy and decided to send a message to Ning Xuan.
Are you sure you won't lose out if I trade these items with you?
