Golden Light from SSR
Reports about radiation were quickly posted on Taoduoduo.
The report was over twenty pages long, filled with complex alphanumeric text. While the average person wouldn't understand it, they knew it concerned the future of the entire planet. Fortunately, there was a brief summary at the end, explaining the current situation.
"It's over!" In a basement, someone was lying helplessly in the corner.
"Originally, we were supposed to be able to get out in two days, or at most half a month. Given the current situation, it will take at least another two or three months, and there's no guarantee we'll even be able to get out!"
"How could this happen!" another person said anxiously. "What about my friend? There are so many people here, and because of the dust, there's no ventilation. We can only use air purifiers, and there's a severe lack of oxygen. We healthy people are fine, but she's already sick and needs oxygen tanks. Where can we find so many?"
Another woman next to her drew oxygen from the oxygen tank every once in a while, as if she wanted to save oxygen in this way.
"Who wouldn't be anxious? We're anxious too!" someone paced back and forth in the cramped activity room, muttering over and over, "This is completely beyond our expectations, completely beyond our expectations."
The woman said weakly, "Don't go anymore. Save some oxygen."
"What do you think I want? I need to breathe to be alive! You might as well kill me so that you don't feel that my breathing is bothering you!" He shouted loudly, deliberately breathing the air like a cow.
“You…you!”
Seeing that everyone was about to ignite like a powder keg, someone finally stepped forward and said, "Stop arguing! This is all my fault!"
He sighed deeply. "The radiation from a nuclear explosion is like shit splattered on a wall; it dissipates after a while. The radiation from a nuclear leak is just like what's happening now. It's like shit and urine soaking through the floorboards into our basement, lingering for a long time. I couldn't bear to leave our territory's supplies behind, so I dragged you along, thinking we could survive the explosion. I didn't expect the previous water contamination to cause the current radiation..."
He apologized, promised, and said a lot, but what was the use? Lives were at stake, and everyone fell silent, saying nothing except the occasional sound of the woman picking up the oxygen tank and breathing.
Faced with such a terrible fact, the sound of breathing that broke through the wind seemed like the future they could see with their own eyes. One day, they would probably also be struggling to survive like this, wanting to live but unable to.
"Ding Dong~" At this moment, a crisp notification sound rang out. Everyone looked at each other, and from the surprised expressions on their faces, they realized that they were not the only ones who received the message. They were all familiar with this scene. There was only one person that everyone set as a special concern -
Hungry Hungry Night Watch Center.
Is there going to be bad news again? Everyone turned on the light screen together, and just as their hearts slowly sank, a golden light illuminated their faces.
[The new majors added by the Hungry Hungry school district are as follows:]
[Small Eco-Reactor: Combining technology and nature to the limit, maximizing the conversion of energy into adaptive sunlight, comfortable ventilation, and high-quality water circulation. —From Technology: Spaceship Ecology (SSR)]
[Radiation Particle Capture: Using equipment to collect mixed radiation particles in the air and soil. — From Science and Technology: Anthropology (SSR)]
[Radiation particle removal: Physical and chemical methods are used to remove radiation based on the amount of radiation and the status of risk factors. — From Science and Technology: Anthropology (SSR)]
[...]
[Please note that due to the special nature of this new major, aside from the attribute requirements, the tuition and other fees are the same as the Basic Survival Course.]
What light illuminated their bewildered eyes and empty minds? It was that simple sentence that revealed the SSR-level courses, each one adorned with golden light!
The entire announcement exudes a psychedelic atmosphere of "debauchery and extravagance". Under the announcement, people don't know what words to use to express their inner shock. Unfortunately, people have died in the nuclear explosion recently, and people who love to make emoticons rarely show off their skills, so they can't even find suitable emoticons to express their feelings.
"Spaceship Ecology, Human Husbandry..." In the basement, a group of people were almost speechless. "These courses are no longer intermediate or advanced, but SSR level. I can't even imagine such a level, but they can be used as basic survival courses?"
Then came a huge feeling of joy. If this was true, wouldn't they be saved? SSR-level courses have already been released!
"Wuhu! I'm hungry, hungry, I love you!"
At this moment, in a basement, Zhang Haixing excitedly opened the course details and saw [Radiation-Proof Work Clothes] in the teaching tools. He was about to place an order and sign up, but he was shocked to find that... his attribute value was not enough.
My roommate next to me was still muttering, "Tsk, these attribute requirements are so high, they're clearly playing tricks on us! How can so many of them learn this? I don't believe it. I'll just see how many people sign up! Oh, and Zhang Haixing, you also have high attribute values, can you sign up?"
Zhang Haixing turned over and didn't want to answer him.
——Speaking of which, he shouldn't be in this basement at the moment, but should be in the Hungry Hungry territory.
Several disasters ago, he was also a resident of the Hungry Hungry Territory. But in a moment of greed, he stole the territory's mid-level clothing blueprints and resold them for money, earning him a blacklist and expulsion from the territory. With his already strong stats and mid-level survival skills, he'd assumed he could make a home anywhere. But it wasn't until Hungry Hungry appeared that he realized his folly.
Not everywhere is hungry.
"Haha, this idiot wants to sign up? He doesn't even consider his level. His attribute values are even lower than mine. He's been posting videos of himself working on Lichun Star all day these days. He's even got a lot darker, but he's still smiling. What a complete idiot."
"Precious crops! I'm so lucky to be able to give this idiot so many precious crops to increase his attributes! I'll stand on my head and eat shit!"
Zhang Haixing knew the man his roommate was talking about. He worked odd jobs in the territory to make a living and usually called everyone "brother." The more Zhang Haixing listened, the more he felt something was amiss. He sat up abruptly and turned on the screen...
He lay down again, "What he said is true."
This would seem like a fantasy elsewhere, but in Hungry Hungry, it's undeniably true. Besides Hungry Hungry, what other territory is so dedicated to creating a fair environment? They offer residents free blueprints for intermediate clothing, SSR-level courses, and even precious crops.
Zhang Haixing had no doubt about the authenticity of all this. He just hated his greed all the time. How could he be blinded by those few hundred points and do such a thing?
"This idiot actually replied to my comment! He said he's decided to join Hungry Hungry, but before that, he needs to learn these courses first and come back..." My roommate's voice gradually faded. "Clean up the radiation and help us?"
"Tsk, they've already joined other territories, who needs his help? I don't need it..." His voice almost faded away. After a moment, he changed the subject and snorted, "If he wants to help, then go ahead. I won't thank him anyway."
Zhang Haixing turned over silently and said "oh".
.
Balsam Star.
The leader of the tour group just came home from the supermarket, and the grass on his head was squeezed and he was unhappy.
"We're running out of rice. We're going to run out of food tomorrow. What should we do?"
"Use your clever brain and go find something to eat in the green belt later."
"Does your supermarket still have any stock? All the supermarkets in our area have been sold out. I asked my aunt's friend's niece's boyfriend, who is a warehouse manager in supermarket logistics, and he said the warehouse is empty too!"
"Luckily, when I left Hung Hung, Lord Ye gave me a big box of snail noodles, otherwise... wuwuwu, I want to cry."
The trip was unexpectedly smooth and enjoyable. Even after returning to Xiangzhi Star, the members of the tour group chatted all day long and naturally became good friends.
"Tell me, can I sneak across the border and starve myself to death, then buy some food? I'm eating two meals at once, and I'm almost crying with greed!"
The team leader was about to reply when he froze... Eh? He seemed to have overlooked something that had always been in his mind, something very obvious.
He practically ran into the house and found his travel passport. He quickly found the page that mentioned "Hungry Hungry" and saw under the "Hungry Hungry" section that it belonged to—[None].
The races and countries that have joined the Interstellar Federation are all [Federal Republic] in this column, and [None] means that Hungry Hungry has not joined any faction.
The team leader said, "!!!!" He said! When applying for the visa, the external affairs center of Xiangzhi Star confirmed it several times, emphasizing that this place was unsafe. Later, the submitted documents were also missing a lot of federal documents.
"We can go to Hungry Hungry!" He immediately spoke in the group chat, his leaves, which had just been squeezed and dehydrated, now stood up. "Hungry Hungry didn't join the Interstellar Federation! We don't need to abide by the [Federation Contract]. They can sell things to us, and we can buy them openly!"
There was a moment of silence in the group, and then someone replied: "Really! Wuhu!"
"Captain, you are my God!"
"Why bother making a special trip? Just go buy something!"
"I'll ask Lord Ye."
The tour leader found the phone number of the travel center, coughed lightly, and dialed it.
.
When Ye Miaomiao received the call, she was inspecting the factory in Lichunxing.
Because [Eve] can supervise a large amount of work at one time, Lichunxing has built rows of factories, most of the assembly lines in them are controlled by machines, completely free of human labor.
Machines flowed one after another, seemingly endlessly. Iron walls sprawled out, steel pipes pierced the ceiling, like a steel city of skyscrapers reaching into the sky. Invisible data figures toiled furiously, churning out a constant stream of materials.
"How abhorrent!" Ye Miaomiao immediately expressed her empathy and said bitterly, "How could the Interstellar Federation treat you like this? We still don't know if it was you who spread the virus!"
"On behalf of Hungry Hungry, I'm donating you 500 tons of canned spicy fermented bean curd, 1,000 tons of pork, and 2,000 tons of super potatoes!"
The team leader: “!” He never thought that he could earn so much money by making a phone call, and he almost cried.
"You! You are such a kind person! I just wanted to ask you if I could buy some food, but I didn't expect you to donate so much food to us Balsam Star people!"
"We're all friends, so we help each other." Ye Miaomiao smiled and accepted the good guy card from the team leader. Although her original intention was just to use this to get in touch with the authorities and make a big deal, she did donate things after all, so how could she not be considered a good person?
"Give me your official contact information, and I'll contact them to deliver the food to you."
"Okay! Okay!" The team leader was even more excited than Ye Miaomiao and quickly transferred the number. "You can talk to us officially about cooperation. Then we can buy things from Ele.Ele.com."
"Yes." Ye Miaomiao replied.
The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
The team leader sent the message to the group and lay in the ground with peace of mind. Ye Miaomiao would definitely do what he promised. Although they didn't have much contact, he was inexplicably sure of it.
that is...
The leader suddenly sat up in shock, his dying breath. "Wait, isn't Hungry Hungry a low-tech civilization? How is Lord Ye supposed to transport the stuff all the way from Hungry Hungry to Balsam Star?"
Ye Miaomiao quickly contacted the Xiangzhi Star officials. As she expected, they were delighted to hear about the partnership, but then lost heart when they learned the partnership was with a small, unaffiliated territory. Then, upon hearing the small territory was donating food, they immediately brightened up again. The main character's fluctuating mood vividly reflected their thoughts and feelings.
Ye Miaomiao understood very well, after all, they didn’t know each other well yet.
She said kindly, "Send me the coordinates and I'll send the things to you first. I'll also send some of our E E E E specialties and samples. If you think the quality is good, you can come to E E E E to place an order later." There is a give and take.
"That's great, thank you!" The person on the other end agreed, but obviously didn't hold out much hope. After thanking him, he hung up the phone.
The machine capable of interstellar jumps has been installed. We only need to load the supplies onto the spacecraft, and it will take half a day to reach the Balsam Star. Adding the time for unloading and distributing to each household, the team leader and others will be able to eat the food donated by Hungry Hungry tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
When the time comes, I can open an online store and sell some stink sacs. Will I still worry about not making enough energy stones?
Ye Miaomiao thought about it and could hardly suppress her smile.
The official agencies on Xiangzhi Star were much faster than Ye Miaomiao had expected. After confirming the food's quality, they immediately distributed it to the public. The day after Ye Miaomiao's call, the unsuspecting residents of Xiangzhi Star received cans and packaging bags printed with the "Hungry Hungry" rice cooker label.
Ye Miaomiao was talking about pork and super potatoes, but it was actually just a general term.
Every household received a variety of things. In addition to a small can of spicy fermented bean curd and a small bag of super potatoes, almost every household also received dried pork, fried pork lard, roasted pork, etc. that Ye Miaomiao took out from the warehouse. Fresh pork only accounted for a part of it. After all, killing more than 600 pigs and 1,000 tons of pigs at one time was too much for hungry pigs.
Ye Miaomiao gave away quite a few samples, and almost every household could get a few. Snail noodles were the biggest item, and there were also some snacks such as potato chips and milk tea.
It's not much for each household, but it more or less relieves their anxiety at the moment.
"When did we get a new partner?" From the official announcement, the people of Balsam could tell these were all donated by Hungry Hungry, and their curiosity grew even stronger—how could they not even know about such a friendly partner?! There wasn't even a single mention of them online.
This important issue was immediately overshadowed by another incident:
[What kind of divine delicacy is spicy fermented bean curd? It’s so delicious!]
