Chapter 471 The True State of the Planet
"Alright, the most important thing now is to get well. We can talk about other things later. Now I'll take you upstairs to rest. If you're free tomorrow, we can explore this planet."
Gu Qing immediately became interested when she heard she could go shopping. Her first instinct was to obediently go back upstairs, though she was indeed tired.
Chen Xingheng slept in the same room as her, mainly because he was worried about her. But Gu Qing went to bed early, while he was busy until who knows how long.
The next morning, after waking up and tidying up downstairs, I heard the God of Wealth directing the manor's robots to perform a deep cleaning.
There were lifelike robots bustling about, making the whole manor seem more vibrant.
"Looking for that guy? He's gone out, but he should be back soon. He left you some food; go eat if you're hungry."
"Oh dear, never mind, I'll go get it for you." As the God of Wealth spoke, he turned around, saw Gu Qing holding her belly, and impatiently turned and went into the kitchen.
Gu sat down directly at the dining table. His attitude towards people was always based on the credit points and resources you contributed.
Breakfast was quite substantial, but Chen Xingheng returned before she had even finished eating. "Have you eaten? When are we going out?"
"I've already eaten, there's no rush, I'm not in a hurry for the whole day!"
Hearing her say there was no rush, Gu Qing still quickly finished her meal. For the past few days, she had either been running for her life or wandering in that oppressive and boundless starry sky.
She desperately wanted to experience a normal life.
The God of Wealth declined Gu Qing's invitation. They went out and rode in a flying car, but because they wanted Gu Qing to see clearly, the flying car moved extremely slowly.
This planet is chaotic and there are no restrictions on the altitude or speed of flying cars, so you can see flying cars speeding past you overhead and beside you on the road.
You can also see flying cars swerving and veering in an S-shape. Just then, two flying cars in front of them scraped each other. Without saying a word, the drivers rolled down their windows and started fighting with all sorts of supernatural abilities.
However, their flying car must have been specially made. Whether it was moving or fighting, everyone who passed by would stop and move to the side.
It seems that Princess Sofia is quite frightening here.
The car stopped at a busy street corner, and Chen Xingheng helped her out of the flying vehicle. He then reached out and put the flying vehicle into his spatial storage, which also belonged to Princess Sophia.
That's why you have to say Cavill knows how to handle people.
Turning around to observe the entire street, I saw that it was wide and clean, with robots guarding the street entrances, and the people coming and going were all neatly dressed.
Those who are disheveled and dirty and try to enter this street will be driven away. Those who are driven away will be turned into another, darker street.
Unlike the bustling street, that place seemed to be in shadow, with all sorts of winding alleys, and the occasional person passing by was always in a hurry.
From time to time, knocking or screaming could be heard from inside. Those outside who hadn't gone in seemed not to hear these sounds and continued with their activities as usual.
Gu Qing looked over there curiously, and the robot's gentle voice came, "Beautiful lady, that is a black market transaction, and the quality of the products there cannot be guaranteed."
Feeling a pulling motion on her hand, Gu Qing quickly turned around and smiled at Chen Xingheng. Then, the two swiped their smart devices to enter the street.
"This planet is extremely short of water resources. The land is divided into four parts by huge canyons and towering mountains. Sofia controls the richest part of this land."
The main reason is because there is a clean spring on this land.
"Is it inside the manor?"
Hearing Gu Qing's question, Chen Xingheng nodded, "That's true."
"But we don't necessarily have to rely on this spring to solve the water problem." As far as Gu Qing knew, many mining planets lacked the conditions for human survival, such as air, water, and food.
Chen Xingheng pulled him by the hand and continued walking inside. Inside was a building that I consider very magnificent on this planet; it was the largest shopping mall on the planet.
"Of course you can, but if you can just buy and sell the people in power, how can you exploit the people in power? How about that? You can sell a bottle of barely drinkable water for more money than the pure water in the capital city."
"Won't these people resist? What about their families, relatives, and friends?" Gu Qing asked again.
Chen Xingheng smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair. "This mall has a pretty complete selection of things, let's go in and take a look."
