Chapter 1: Striving for a Moderately Prosperous Society in All Respects



"Why are you crying, child?"

"It's all my fault. If my brother doesn't wake up, I'll die with him..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

So noisy.

Jian Luo felt his head buzzing. He remembered that he had been in a car accident. Before he could react, there was a "boom" and the whole world went dark. What was going on now? Was he at the scene of the car accident?

Jian Luo opened his eyes, but the expected car accident scene did not appear. Instead, he saw a dark roof and shelves filled with things. The room was filled with a very strange sour and musty smell, and there were two chattering mouths nearby.

"Stop arguing..."

Jian Luo opened his mouth with difficulty, but his voice was hoarse and weak.

His words were like a switch, and the incessant chattering suddenly ended. The man and woman who were still talking rushed to the bed.

"Luo'er!"

"elder brother!"

Both of them pounced on him, and the sudden pressure made Jian Luo feel like he would faint in the next second.

The woman asked anxiously, "Are you okay?"

"I..." Jian Luo said weakly, and tremblingly raised his hand and brought it closer to her.

The woman wept sadly and held his hand: "Do you have any last words for mom? Tell me."

Jian Luo used all his strength: "Don't press me, I can't breathe."

The woman's expression froze.

The little boy pushed her: "Mom, my brother said you were going to crush him to death."

“…”

The woman straightened up awkwardly, still worried: "Luo'er, are you okay? Why aren't you talking?"

Jian Luo, relieved of the pressure, took two breaths and said, "My head hurts a bit."

The woman quickly said, "Then drink the medicine quickly!"

The room was small and dim. The woman in front of me was holding a bowl of pure green medicine. Bubbles were coming out of the medicine from time to time. Note that they were real bubbles, just like chemical weapons. It made my scalp tingle just by looking at it.

Inexplicably, Jian Luo remembered the words - Dalang, it's time to take your medicine.

Jian Luo covered his head and said, "I don't think my headache is that painful anymore."

The woman was still very worried and still wanted Jian Luo to drink the medicine. Fortunately, Jian Luo was smart and used his acting skills to cover his chest and escape the danger.

The little boy who had been standing nearby said, "Brother, are you hungry?"

Jian Luo was so moved that he almost cried. He was hit by a car because he was too hungry and went out to buy something to eat. Although he didn't know what was going on now, he was also hungry!

The little boy said, "Wait a minute, brother. I'll get you something to eat."

Good boy, no matter what happened before, from now on, we are brothers!

Because they had to get something to eat, the children and the women left. Jane sat down on the edge of the bed and began to look around the room. The ceiling was dark, and the shelves were filled with strange things, which seemed to be all colorful glass balls.

The only light source in the room is the wall. That's right, there is no lamp, but the wall provides the lighting.

While Jian Luo was still observing, the door opened and the little boy ran over. His cautious steps seemed to be holding a treasure. "Brother, Mom said you were injured and need nutrition. This is rich in vitamins. Give it to you."

As he spoke, he took out a glass tube from his pocket, which contained emerald green liquid. Perhaps due to the shaking, tiny bubbles appeared in the liquid.

Jian Luo: “…”

The little boy held it in his hands like a baby, looking at him expectantly with his round eyes: "Drink it quickly."

Jian Luo looked down at the test tube and finally couldn't help but say, "Is this hell?"

The little boy was stunned.

"I'm dead, right?" Jian Luo boldly proposed: "So you're punishing me like this, sending me to a world where I drink poison every day?"

The little boy took a half step back as if frightened.

Jian Luo thought he had guessed correctly: "Really?!"

The little boy suddenly ran away: "Mom, someone beat my brother up and made him sick!"

“…”

That's too much.

Next, Jian Luo finally understood the situation amidst the woman's wailing and the little boy's chatter. That's right, he, Jian Luo, a food blogger who wanted to have a midnight snack but was hit by a car, had traveled through time.

And the place we traveled to was not the Earth, but an alien planet!

According to the woman's description, the earth was no longer suitable for living 300 years ago, and humans were forced to begin migrating. They were forced to leave the solar system and after a long wandering, they were eventually accepted by aliens.

The planet that accepts humans is the most technologically advanced and powerful main dark star in the universe. Although humans live here, their status is very humble because of the backwardness of their civilization and the fact that they are dependent on others.

Overall - it's a difficult situation.

After hearing this, Jian Luo felt complicated.

The woman, his current mother Su Liang, noticed his depressed mood and asked gently, "Xiao Luo, what's wrong?"

Jian Luo was silent for a while, and finally said: "I was wondering, do I have to drink that green water from now on?"

What the hell is this human suffering?

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he said after a long while: "How about I go get you some vegetables?"

Jian Luo's eyes lit up: "Okay, I want to eat!"

As long as he can eat and has vegetables to eat, it’s fine. Don’t worry about his humble status. When he lived on Earth, wasn’t he just an ordinary citizen?

It's just a humble position in a different place, no big deal!

After waiting for a while, the woman outside finally came back and brought a plate of boiled potatoes: "Come, eat quickly!"

Jian Luo: “…”

Vegetables are indeed vegetables.

The potato on the plate was peeled, golden yellow, and smelled like potato. It was indeed a pure potato, but!

Why is it really a potato?

Can you fry it? At least you can cut it!

Su Liang thought Jian Luo was so happy that she couldn't speak, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, we still have some savings at home. Even if it's just vegetables, it's enough for two meals. Come and eat."

Jian Luo took the plate silently: "Mom."

Su Liang: "Hmm?"

"I need to know the details of what's going on here." Jian Luo was so distressed that he couldn't even eat. "Especially a detailed description of the current living conditions at home."

Only then did Su Liang confirm that his son had really lost his memory.

Through her description, Jian Luo finally understood why powerful beings in the universe like the Dark Star people would accept fragile Earthlings. The reason was really very simple!

Because they are foodies!

Earthlings have no other advantages except that they know how to make food. They can turn all kinds of vegetable seeds into delicious food, which is very popular among Dark Star people and even other interstellar beings.

Jian Luo: "Isn't this a good thing? With the seeds, we can just plant them on a large scale, right?"

Su Liang rolled his eyes at him. "Our seeds all come from Earth. With a changed environment and air, their survival rate has dropped significantly. Besides, the people who survived, our ancestors, were all high-tech researchers. How could they possibly farm?"

Jian Luo's heart sank: "So what you mean?"

"So many seeds failed to germinate due to light and environmental issues." Su Liang sighed sadly. "Some vegetables like potatoes were successfully grown, but these vegetables require taxes to be paid for. How can we bear to eat them?"

Jian Luo understood a little bit, and he had a question: "Aliens have such advanced technology, can't they also do mass planting?"

Su Liang laughed: "They have been eating nutrient solution for generations, how could they know how to grow crops?"

Moreover, for today's humans, planting is also the work they rely on for survival. Wouldn't it be even worse without this function?

Jian Luo thought: "Oh, Mom, why am I injured?"

When this was mentioned, Su Liang's face showed embarrassment.

Jian Luo guessed that it didn't seem to be a pleasant thing.

"It's not a big deal. Mom will find a way to deal with the money." Su Liang's eyes were red. She looked gentle, but also had a strong tenacity. "Just focus on recuperating."

Okay, it must be a big deal.

Jian Luo looked around the house and finally confirmed that this family was really short of money.

"I understand." Jian Luo nodded: "I want to take a break."

Su Liang quickly said, "Then you eat the potatoes, and Mom will go out."

Jian Luo nodded. Although the potatoes had no taste, they were still better than the nutrient solution. He held the potatoes and chewed them while connecting the so-called information bracelet on his wrist to learn about the knowledge of this world.

The bracelet seems to be hidden in the bones and blood, and it will not be visible at ordinary times. When you need to see it, a black smart ring will appear on the wrist.

Su Liang once said, "If you have any requests, just recite them silently in your heart."

Jian Luo tentatively said "information search" in his mind, and sure enough, a search box soon appeared in his head.

Unlike modern browsers, the search box in StarCraft was a simulated AI, a small, flashing ball that said, "How can I help you?"

Jian Luo: "Search for the types of vegetables that can be grown and produced now."

The ball flashed, and information appeared in front of Jian Luo, with both pictures and texts. It looked very convenient. Jian Luo thought it was a lot, but after reading it carefully, there was not much!

The first page in the search box is: wheat, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkin...

"Twenty-five."

Jian Luo finished counting and felt a little desperate.

In his previous life, he was not only a foodie, but also a spicy foodie. What suffocated him the most was that there were no chili peppers among these plantable things!

Moreover, the way humans have developed to eat vegetables now is to boil them in water!

It's cold.

Just when Jian Luo was about to lose heart, he suddenly noticed another page - seed collection.

He quickly asked the optical computer: "What is seed collection?"

"If your family's cultivation achievements reach the level of an outstanding farmer, you will be granted the right to cultivate new varieties," the computer replied, "and your tax payment will be reduced."

Jian Luo looked at the collection page and actually found chili peppers on the first page!

It turns out that there is.

But it has not been cultivated yet!

"Okay, okay." Jian Luo cheered up: "Then how can I become an excellent farmer?"

I really can’t wait to farm and build a well-off society in an all-round way. The working people are the most glorious!
