After saying goodbye to the person in charge and returning to her room, Sang Ning found her wristband terminal in the bedside table.
The oldest version has a worn-out brown leather ring and cracks all over the screen, but it doesn't affect its use.
Sang Ning first checked her personal account, and wow, the balance displayed there startled her.
From having no money at all to now having five zeros preceded by a 1, this income is undeniably quite substantial.
However, that's not the point. The point is that this is after-tax income.
Sang Ning was a little puzzled. Had she ever received such a reward before?
After checking the detailed transaction records, Sang Ning suddenly realized that there was money involved in selling bugs.
After the production team helped sell the bugs and deducted taxes, the remaining money was deposited into her personal account.
The program team used all the money from the previous donations to purchase supplies such as nutrient solutions and temperature-controlled protective suits and sent them to planet e72.
The shopping list includes the governors' signatures and all of it, which is stored in their personal accounts and is readily available.
After checking her personal account, she pulled out her contacts and started contacting the officials.
She was quite nervous, after all, this was her first time meeting the governors face to face.
The feeling of having a living, breathing person appear before your eyes is incomparable to the feeling of connecting with them through live stream comments or recalling the original owner's memories.
The latter made her feel no pressure, while the former made her nervous and had some difficulty breathing.
What if it's discovered that she's not the original owner of this body?
What if we can't get in touch with them?
Her thoughts were more chaotic than ever before, and just as she was feeling nervous and uneasy, the governor's voice suddenly rang out—
"Ningning, is that Xiao Ningzi?"
Before the words were even finished, the projections of the governors and their companions suddenly appeared in the room.
The two men and one woman were none other than the Chief Executive Qi Yuanbo, the Minister of National Defense Mu Qingchen, and the Minister of Finance Tang Qingyun.
None of the three were young; their faces were weathered, and the fine lines around their eyes, lips, and even foreheads spoke of the passage of time.
The governor's hair was half white, even whiter than the original owner remembered.
Uncle Mu and Aunt Tang weren't much better off; they were both older than the original owner remembered.
Upon seeing these three people, perhaps due to the original owner's memories, Sang Ning found that she was not only no longer nervous or uneasy, but also felt at ease and even wanted to smile.
She actually laughed.
"Uncle Qi, Uncle Mu, Aunt Tang, do you miss me?"
I miss you all so much.
"Think about it, we've missed you so much."
The three men rushed to talk to her, their eyes scanning her up and down.
Aunt Tang said gently, her eyes and brows full of smiles, "It's true that the environment outside is good for people; our little Ningzi has become fairer and more beautiful."
"What does this have to do with the soil and water? It's clearly because our Xiao Ningzi is good at traditional Chinese medicine and has carefully made a bunch of face creams to maintain her health."
The governor, who had subconsciously retorted to Tang Qingyun, changed the subject before she could retort and asked Sang Ning, "Little Ning, do you have any extra face wipes?"
Sang Ning shook her head. Seeing the disappointment on the governor's face, she said, "Uncle Qi wants to use this?"
"I'm an old man, there's no need for me to use this."
The governor shook his head and sighed, "I'm asking on behalf of the children. You don't know that the weather has been abnormal this year; it's been hailing for half a month straight."
He made a fist and gestured, "The hailstones as big as my fist were so big that it was dangerous for us to even leave our sand shelter. We had to stay on the two starships donated by your friends and the large starship at the Human History Research Center."
"But that's not the point. The point is that the children's faces are chapped."
"It's terrifying, it breaks my heart."
Tang Qingyun and the others also showed signs of heartache, and Sang Ning became anxious upon hearing this.
"We are on our way back to the Central Star Region. We will stop on Run Run Star to rest and replenish our supplies. I will buy a batch of repair fluid and send it back then."
"No repair fluid."
The governor said sternly, "Don't buy any of these drugs, including gene-modifying fluid, optimization fluid, cell repair fluid, and wound repair fluid. If you want to buy anything, you can only buy nutrient solution. You also can't buy antidotes or similar drugs."
"The genes of pure-blooded humans differ from those of all intelligent races. The drugs suitable for new humans are poison to humans, affecting their genes and causing a series of problems. Do you understand what I mean?"
Sang Ning was horrified. If what the governor said was true, it meant that the gene-modification fluid and optimization fluid were a scam for the new humans.
What's hidden behind this...
I dare not think about it too deeply, for it would send chills down my spine.
She looked at the governor and his men with barely concealed shock; the three men met her gaze with grave expressions.
Sang Ning gave a weak "I understand. I won't buy these potions. I'll buy the herbs and make my own medicine."
She paused for a moment, then added, "However, this will take a bit longer; it might not be able to be sent out until it reaches the next transit station."
The consul laughed when he heard this.
"It's alright, we're not in a hurry."
It's already like this, there's no use in them worrying.
Don't let the child get anxious too. Xiao Ningzi is too responsible and likes to take on too much responsibility.
If they show signs of urgency, this kid can push himself to the limit.
It's not worth it, really not worth it.
Sang Ning hummed in agreement and was about to speak when the governor spoke with a serious expression—
"Xiao Ningzi, the signal here is unstable, so we won't go into too much small talk. I'm going to tell you three things now, and you must remember them."
"Please speak."
"The first thing: After arriving at the Central Star Wasteland Survival Headquarters, the program's director will talk to you and ask you to join the New World Project. The benefits offered will be extremely attractive. Remember not to agree. You must hold your ground and resist the temptation to refuse."
"It's not appropriate to go into details here. I'll tell you the specifics when you get back."
"The second thing: After arriving at Central Star, don't go anywhere. Stay with the production crew and wait for your Uncle Gu to pick you up, or go with Mo Nainai and the others. Absolutely do not act alone."
"Third thing: No matter who talks to you about traditional Chinese medicine and martial arts, don't say anything. Push everything onto us, understand?"
Sang Ning hummed in agreement and said earnestly, "I remember, I'll be obedient."
Although she didn't know why Uncle Qi was giving her these instructions, she knew that Uncle Qi and the others wouldn't harm her.
Anyone in this world could potentially harm her, except for Uncle Qi and the others who raised the original owner of this body.
Seeing that she had agreed, the governors and their colleagues smiled with relief.
That's great, their little Ningzi is as obedient and sensible as ever.
They were genuinely worried that the child, knowing nothing, would recklessly get himself into trouble.
Now it's all right, no need to worry anymore.
"Remember to contact your Uncle Gu later; he has already set off for Central Star."
