"Popcorn?! Good heavens, I haven't seen anyone selling this stuff in years."
"You can also make popcorn? How many contribution points does one serving cost?"
"This is... a mutant corn, isn't it?"
"Popcorn?!"
It doesn't have the rigid, complex, and indescribable taste of nutritional supplements, nor does it have the monotonous taste of food made by cooking machines. It's just the normal taste of ingredients combined together.
Sea salt popcorn was unsurprisingly popular, so much so that even at a price of ten contribution points per serving, it quickly sold out.
Some people have even developed a new way of eating it: put a spoonful of popcorn in a bowl, pour in a spoonful of boiling water, mash it up, and you have a bowl of corn porridge, which can fill you up with water.
Xu Milu couldn't help but sigh that the working people really do have a lot of ideas.
...
...
Xiao Ding was quite generous, insisting on sharing half of today's extra income with Xu Milu, but Xu refused.
"I'm actually very interested in mutant plants. Do you know where I can buy mutant plants?"
Xu Milu suspected that the root cause of these mutated plants and animals was soil pollution, but she did not have conclusive evidence, so she planned to collect more mutated plants for comparison.
"Mutant plants? There are more mutated plants and animals in places where infected people gather in the wild. The mutated plants and animals in G City have been almost completely cleared out by the dispatch team, so it's really hard to find them."
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ding decided to say a few more words for the sake of the popcorn:
"The dispatch team usually chooses to destroy plants with high mutation rates. The same goes for the mutated plants cultivated in the base. Plants with a mutation rate of more than 15% will also be destroyed. However, some people don't mind mutated plants, so they are sold on the black market."
"black market?"
Xu Milu's heart stirred.
The black market is a mixed bag, with an extremely complex composition of people. Perhaps, in addition to collecting mutated plants, she can also open up another source of information.
—To prevent her tracks from being leaked, Xiao had to disable many of the system's functions; she couldn't just turn a blind eye, could she?
Xu Milu made up her mind that after a while she would find a way to leave the reclamation team and sneak into the Hope Base.
After all, the identity of "Yu Lu" is already officially recognized in the identity system, which will make it easier for her to enter the black market.
Perhaps as a return favor, Xiao Ding brought back good news the next day:
"Yu Lu! Yu Lu! I heard the dispatch team found a mutated banana tree with a low mutation rate nearby. Do you want to come with me tomorrow?"
