Chapter 9 Arrival at the Base
It's not that she doesn't want to practice on her own, but the key is that her spiritual body manifests as a small cloud. Can you expect it to turn into a ball of fire?
After putting the purifying plant back into the energy box, the doorbell rang. Gu Qing opened the door and found it was someone from the kitchen delivering the energy food she had bought.
Gu Qing let the person in, and the food was placed on the table next to the bed. "Miss Purifier, these are the foods you ordered. The phoenix eggs have been boiled according to your request. Please see if there are any other problems."
Gu Qing glanced at the other party and shook her head, "It's no problem, please thank your head chef for me."
"Miss Purifier, you're too kind. Don't worry, I'll take it with me. If you have no other questions, I'll head back now."
After seeing the person out, Gu Qing looked at the large pile of food on the table. She took out an energy box and lined it with a waterproof and oil-resistant bag.
The food was divided into energy boxes, and the meat was cut into pieces the size of an adult's palm and about an inch thick, and then roasted.
Although phoenix eggs are expensive, one egg is about the same price as an ostrich egg, so it's best to put them in a box to prevent energy loss.
Starting tomorrow, you won't need to attend theory classes anymore, but if you have any questions, you can discuss them in the group, and Teacher Ruan will answer them in the group.
So every day, apart from going out for lunch, Gu Qing divided her time into three evenly spaced intervals, set alarms on her smart device, and then began the purification and advancement process.
I spend my free time eating, sleeping, and searching for information online. Occasionally, I'll chat with two friends and play in the recreation room for an hour or two.
Gu Qing felt that inheriting the original owner's memories was like watching a movie; she understood them, but they were still vague. It seemed that if she didn't touch upon them, she would easily forget them and not be able to remember them.
So during this time, whenever she had free time, she would go online to browse common knowledge about the world.
The spaceship traveled for 18 days, during which she purified two level-two crystal cores and one-third of the third. This was all thanks to the unique nature of her purification abilities and her tireless efforts.
When they stopped at the temporary terminal and were about to line up to disembark from the spaceship, Gu Qing suddenly noticed a large group of people not far from them.
Their clothing and appearance were quite simple, and upon closer observation, it would be discovered that most of them did not have any spatial equipment.
Perhaps she was staring too intently at the people opposite her, because Qiao Xue nudged her with her shoulder. "What are you looking at? Those people haven't awakened yet."
"Why didn't they awaken when life on planet D625 was so harsh?"
Hearing her ask that, Qiao Xue glanced at her sideways. "You really are a pampered young lady. Although D625 is a tough planet, it is rich in resources. Otherwise, why would you insist on developing it?"
And look at those beautifully dressed women; if they could find a high-level combatant to marry here, their quality of life would be greatly improved.
The chances of children being born with awakening abilities will also increase. The new recruits here are all the main force of the legion, and each soldier is quite capable.
But how many women can truly awaken? If they can't find awakened women, they'll naturally turn to ordinary women.
Chu Lan squeezed in at this moment, "Don't listen to her nonsense. There are quite a few people here who have brought their families to collect supplies."
Qiao Xue didn't even have the energy to roll her eyes this time. "You two are just too well protected by your families."
Of course, there are also those who bring their whole families to help with land reclamation, earn points, and acquire resources.
However, many people come from ordinary families, so the contractors they were previously bound to also don't have good family backgrounds, and consequently, far fewer of them awaken high-level talents.
If she were to encounter a high-level combatant willing to form a contract, not only would that woman's standard of living rise several notches, but her previous contracted husband would also benefit.
However, this isn't entirely without its advantages for the fighters. Since these women aren't purification masters, they can't form deep contracts with them, giving the women a certain degree of influence within the household.
Chu Lan pouted, unconvinced, "Then if that's the case, why don't male fighters marry female fighters? Why do they insist on marrying someone who hasn't awakened yet?"
Qiao Xue sneered when she heard her question, "Why for the right to speak, or for the temptation of beauty?"
Chu Lan probably thought of something and pouted slightly without refuting. When Luo Wei saw her like this, he smiled slightly and then rubbed her head to comfort her.
Qiao Xue was about to roll her eyes again when one of her husbands pulled her into his arms, and Gu Qing suddenly felt a little stuffy.
Just then, a notification came that they could line up and go down. Gu Qing quickly turned around and joined the queue at the door, not wanting to see those two couples again—they were too conspicuous.
As soon as she stepped off the spaceship, she suddenly felt a chill, but thankfully she was wearing her combat suit and quickly recovered.
"Didn't they say it's already warm season? Why is it still so cold?" Qiao Xue's complaining voice stopped abruptly after she was hugged.
Gu Qing walked past a couple embracing, or rather, several couples, with a blank expression.
But in her heart, she muttered to herself, "Tch, I'm not envious at all. There's no shortage of men in this world. If I'm going to find someone, I'll find the best, otherwise it'll lower my status."
Led by soldiers, they arrived at their current base in a large flying vehicle. Inside, everyone switched to the local area network as instructed by the staff.
Gu Qing logged in with her own account, and the first thing she saw was the official announcement of the obligations and benefits that Awakeners of various levels should fulfill.
Then there's the task hall, where some tasks are about finding something, and others are about finding someone. But the task that's always on the homepage is about acquiring and purifying exotic plants.
Then comes the purification of crystal cores and potions, and energy weapons.
Before she could finish checking, the flying car had already entered the base's perimeter.
Gu Qing assumed that the base, which had only been developed for ten months, was quite rudimentary.
Unexpectedly, arriving here greatly changed her perspective.
