Chapter 258 From the Federation
Hearing Jim's question, the man sitting in the driver's seat smiled and joked with him, but kept silent about Jim's temptation.
After the others walked away and entered the hotel through the back door, Ye Jiaojiao suddenly spoke as they were about to return to their rooms: "It's underground at the transfer station."
"Hmm?" Ye Jiaojiao's words were so abrupt that Jim couldn't hear clearly for a moment: "What did Miss Ye say?"
"This time, the black market is being held underground at the planetary transfer station." Ye Jiaojiao paused, standing at the doorway of the room. Thinking about what she had just discovered, she replied, "It seems like your friend led us in a long detour, but in reality, we've been circling around there the whole time and haven't gone far."
It was impossible for Ye Jiaojiao to be defenseless when being taken to an unfamiliar environment.
Sitting in the hovercraft, she released her spiritual sense as soon as the barrier rose, and witnessed the entire process of the driver taking them on a detour.
This time, the black market was held underground at the planet's transfer station.
It is a gathering place for people, how arrogant and presumptuous.
Maybe, she can come to the black market to sell things occasionally in the future.
Not only is the price high, but you might also gain some knowledge.
"Jim, when are we leaving?" Ye Jiaojiao had finally finished joining in the fun at the black market. Thinking of her senior brother who was left alone on planet J666, she suppressed her gossiping thoughts.
"I have booked the ticket for 11 o'clock tomorrow morning." Jim told Ye Jiaojiao about the itinerary. Ye Jiaojiao said she understood and went back to her room.

The next morning, Si Ming woke up on time. The first thing he did was to pick up the laptop on the bedside table to check if there were any unread messages.
The screen lit up and there was an unread message. Si Ming clicked on the message and was stunned after seeing the content sent by his little wife.
I have never doubted myself before.
When did you become a general?
Why did Jiaojiao ask him when he could become a general?
Do you think he's not working hard enough?
Or did someone tell her something?
Si Ming was confused.
His father is still in office, so even if his merits are enough to qualify, he can't surpass his father.
Sure enough, I still have to let my father retire early.
He can bring it up again next time he returns to the old house.
Si Ming, who usually gets up to go training as soon as he wakes up, sat on the bed in silence for a long time. It was not until Ning Yuan came to inform him that there would be an important meeting soon that he slowly got up.
"Major General, last night at the black market auction held on Planet L9, an S-grade medicinal meal prepared by Miss Ye appeared and was sold for a high price of 600 million." After receiving Si Ming's call, Ning Yuan first gave a general description of the black market situation last night, and then emphasized one thing: "The buyer was Lu Sien from the Federation."
In one sentence, a huge amount of information was contained, encompassing Ye Jiaojiao's medicinal food and the buyer Lu Si'en from the Federation. The twists and turns in it were thought-provoking, but Si Ming remained calm and indifferent after listening to it: "I understand."

Ye Jiaojiao slept until Jim came knocking on the door and then she lazily got up.
After successfully boarding the aircraft carrier, she removed the disguise on her face.
Jim and others have become accustomed to drinking nutrient solution, and they eat breakfast and lunch together after getting up. Ye Jiaojiao doesn't want to be so harsh on herself, so she waits until the aircraft carrier flies stably and then goes to the dining area on the aircraft carrier alone.
Civilian aircraft carriers are basically the same size.
The dining area is divided into a nutrient solution sales area and a natural food sales area.
The natural food sales area has chefs who take orders, and there is also a public kitchenette. If passengers want to cook their own food, they can pay a certain fee.
Standing at the entrance to the small shared kitchen, Ye Jiaojiao was lost in thought as she thought about the Five Elements Soup she had sold on the black market last night for six hundred million.
Six hundred million for a bowl of soup, excluding her own labor, the cost is only six hundred star coins.
what to do?
I just wanted to have a bowl for myself.
Imagine that she drank all 600 million star coins in one gulp.
Ye Jiaojiao stood there, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and she imagined the scene in her mind.
Hmm.
Forget it
Don't be impulsive
Drinking soup worth 600 million star coins in public is too arrogant and may lead to robbery.
Without stopping, Ye Jiaojiao walked straight through the small kitchen door and came to the natural food sales area, where she ordered a few cold vegetable dishes that looked pretty good.
Pure vegetables, paired with a sweet cold sauce, the taste is actually quite good, with a hint of sweetness, but it doesn't leave any noticeable presence after eating, and it feels bland in the mouth.
When Lu Si'en came in with his subordinates, he saw Ye Jiaojiao sitting in the corner at a glance. He felt that the girl in the corner seemed to be in pain. She was eating from the bowl in small sips, and the reluctance on her face was too obvious.
It's very similar to how he is when he's eating.
"Head of the family?" Seeing that he was standing still, Lu Si'en's trusted subordinates followed Lu Si'en's gaze and also looked at Ye Jiaojiao. Not knowing what was going on, they lowered their voices and asked.
Lu Si'en withdrew his gaze, said nothing, and found an empty seat to sit down.
Lu Si'en brought chefs from the Federation and borrowed a small kitchen on the aircraft carrier. In a short while, the chefs prepared a sumptuous meal for Lu Si'en.
The aroma wafted in the air, and many passengers in the dining area looked over.
Lu Jiu was very dissatisfied with the way these people looked at his master. His brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was about to rush up and fight with them in the next second.
Years of habit had formed, and Lu Si'en picked up the bowl and ate as if he were attending a grand ceremony. Noticing Lu Jiu's mood, he waved to him and said, "Sit down and eat."
"Master, I will protect you!" Lu Jiu shook his head firmly.
There are so many people here, how could he let his guard down while the host was having a meal?!
"Everyone is eating, you don't have to do this." Lu Si'en slowed down his eating speed, a hint of helplessness between his brows: "Sit down quickly."
"Yes." Seeing that Lu Si'en was not going to eat unless he sat down, Lu Jiu sat down dejectedly.
While accompanying his master for dinner, Lu Jiu kept an eye on everything around him. After a while, noticing that Lu Si'en barely touched the dishes on the table, Lu Jiu's eyes flashed and he sneered, "That bunch of rubbish!"
At the dinner table, Lu Si'en only took two or three bites of each dish at most, and basically just drank the porridge in the bowl. It was obvious that he could not and was unwilling to eat the dishes on the table.
Being discovered by Lu Jiu, Lu Si'en suppressed the urge to vomit, put down his chopsticks, and sighed: "It's not their problem, it's me who doesn't want to eat."
Lu Si'en is 1.9 meters tall and weighs only about 120 kilograms.
He could neither drink the nutrient solution nor eat these natural foods.
He rushed all the way from the Federation to the Empire, and his health was getting worse and worse.
Lu Jiu was a straightforward person. His concern for Lu Si'en made him ignore the environment they were in. He blurted out angrily, "It's obviously the chefs' fault. Didn't you drink up that bowl of soup last night?"
Soup?
A few steps away, Ye Jiaojiao, who was picking at a vegetable salad, raised her head.
She is a little sensitive to the word 'soup' now.
The image of the porcelain bowl that held the five-element soup last night flashed through my mind.
Six hundred million worth of soup.
No, I can't think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more my heart aches.
Ye Jiaojiao lowered her head again, turning her grief and anger into appetite, and ate the vegetables in the bowl in big mouthfuls.
At this moment, a sarcastic chuckle appeared in the ears of Lu Si'en and Ye Jiaojiao: "Ha! Even if he can't drink the soup worth 600 million, he has to force himself to swallow it!"
