After hearing Meng Xia's tragic story, An Ge didn't know what to say, so she could only pat her shoulder silently.
This child is so carefree; she's already been fooled once, yet she still doesn't take precautions. If I had any ill intentions, wouldn't she be in even worse shape?
"Take good care of this plant, and don't let anyone fool you."
Although Meng Xia was carefree, she was not without cunning after being deceived once. She approached An Ge with a try-it-and-see attitude, since she had nothing left to lose and she was capable of protecting herself if the other party had bad intentions.
Seeing the sympathy and concern in An Ge's eyes, Meng Xia realized that her previous thoughts were completely wrong. "I know that these two summoning talismans are not worth the price of special plants at all. Including the last exchange, you suffered too much. Don't worry, if you need anything in the future, just come to me. As long as I have the ability, I will definitely do my best to help."
An Ge thought of the construction robots she had exchanged and became interested in the technology of the interstellar plane. Since she had come to the plane where Meng Xia was, it would be a real pity not to experience it.
"For me, these two summoning runes are worth as much as a special plant. I can stay in your plane for a few more days. If you feel guilty, take me to experience interstellar travel during these few days."
Meng Xia's eyes lit up instantly, but then she suddenly remembered something, and her joyful expression turned somewhat melancholy. "Well, the living conditions where I am might not be very good. But don't worry, even if I have to sell everything I own, I'll make sure you have a wonderful experience."
After buying the planet, she was almost out of money for food. However, in order to entertain An Ge, she decided to sell the valuables in her house.
The two agreed on a location and returned to the desolate planet. As soon as An Ge landed, the wind and sand almost made her lose her footing.
In just a short while, the sandstorm intensified again. She took out an array plate and set up an isolation array for herself, finally breathing a sigh of relief. Luckily, she had learned some simple array formations out of interest, and she hadn't expected them to come in handy now.
After waiting a while, An Ge heard a roaring sound approaching from afar. Looking up, she saw a machine that looked like a car or an airplane heading towards her. She estimated the time in her mind and was somewhat surprised by its speed.
She was still some distance from Meng Xia, but she didn't expect her to arrive so quickly.
From the flying car, Meng Xia saw An Ge standing calmly in the sandstorm, the sandstorm around her seemingly consciously avoiding her.
Meng Xia's mouth dropped open in astonishment. If she didn't know An Ge's identity, she would have thought the other person was a god. "This is a true chosen one!" Meng Xia couldn't help but exclaim. Compared to An Ge, she felt she had insulted the word "god."
Meng Xia stopped the flying car and walked towards An Ge, braving the sandstorm. Just a few meters away from An Ge, the sandstorm vanished abruptly, as if the sandstorm she had just been braving had been a figment of her imagination.
Having truly experienced it firsthand, she realized even more how powerful An Ge was. Both were chosen ones, yet the difference between them was like heaven and earth. However, Meng Xia wasn't disappointed; instead, she was excited to have found a powerful ally.
"You're amazing! These sandstorms can't be stopped by anything except the protective shields. Those shields are incredibly expensive, almost the price of buying a whole desolate planet." This is also why she is so poor; not only are the shields expensive to install, but a large energy fee is also required every ten years.
"It's just a simple formation." The isolation formation is a basic formation, which An Ge learned in just one day.
Hearing An Ge's nonchalant words, Meng Xia admired her even more. No wonder she's a big shot; even her words exude the air of a master. She must be a top genius in the cultivation world, perhaps even one of the top ten on the rankings.
An Ge felt speechless at Meng Xia's intense gaze. Why did that gaze seem so familiar? She often saw it on Shen Qinghe and Bai Yurou.
Hey, you're a Chosen One too, is it appropriate for you to look down on other Chosen Ones like this?
Even with the most powerful isolation array, this wasn't a place for idle chatter. An Ge followed Meng Xia into the flying car, her eyes filled with curiosity. She had long imagined how wonderful it would be if flying became the norm, eliminating worries about traffic jams; she never imagined that the interstellar era had already brought this to fruition.
The flying car was on autopilot. Ange was initially interested in the endless desert, but the monotonous scenery quickly became tiresome. It wasn't until she saw a cluster of buildings standing in the desert that she perked up.
"We're here. That's my home." Meng Xia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had arrived home safely.
The desolate planet is not only filled with sandstorms, but also teeming with ferocious star beasts. Her weapons are extremely outdated, and if she were to encounter one, it would take quite a while. This is why she usually stays at home; the protective shield may be expensive, but there's a reason for it.
On a desolate planet, it is impossible to survive without a protective shield.
An Ge stepped out of the flying car and felt a gentle breeze on her face, carrying a hint of spring. Meng Xia explained as they walked, "Many planets in interstellar space are uninhabitable. The protective shield can simulate a normal living environment, but even with the most advanced technology, plants cannot grow normally."
Meng Xia sighed, "Some special protective energies can protect plants, but these protective shields are usually in the hands of research institutions or the powerful and wealthy, and they can't be bought on the market at all. Don't be fooled by the fact that I own an entire planet; a barren planet like this isn't worth much money. On the contrary, the protective shield cost me most of my savings."
An Ge explored the artificially created environment and discovered that, compared to a normal environment, there was not a trace of spiritual energy here, which explained why the plants could not survive.
As a cultivator, An Ge is more sensitive to spiritual energy, and in such an environment, the use of spiritual energy will be greatly hindered.
Meng Xia's house wasn't big, and there were many green plants outside the yard. An Ge knew without getting close that these were all fake plants, just for visual appeal.
"Welcome back, my master." The round-headed robot stepped forward and greeted him warmly.
"Xiaoyuan, quickly tidy up the room, we have important guests arriving."
"Yes, my respected master." After saying that, Xiao Yuan walked away with a simple and honest gait.
Seeing the curiosity in An Ge's eyes, Meng Xia explained, "Xiao Yuan is a domestic robot. In interstellar space, robots are very common."
"Like a construction crew?"
"Pretty much the same, just with different functions. In interstellar space, people are divided into different classes based on their mental strength. Some low-level jobs are done by robots, and life is especially difficult for fifth-class citizens. If your mental strength is too low, you can't use many machines. You could say that interstellar space is really unfriendly to those with low mental strength. But thankfully, there are very few people like that. Ordinary people at least have a D or C level of mental strength."
"So what class are you?"
"Hehe, my mental strength is B+, which makes me a third-class citizen," Meng Xia said with pride.
An Ge was extremely curious about mental power. After listening to Meng Xia's explanation, she learned that mental power was similar to divine sense. It seemed that even the chosen ones, apart from possessing a special divine status, did not have many other talents to rely on.
Judging from this, her talent is quite good. An Ge wonders about her own mental strength; she'd like to test it sometime in the future.
