Handsome young men in neat, well-fitting uniforms stood in two rows. Judging from the upscale and sophisticated decor and the well-dressed customers inside, this was a sophisticated and upscale place.
The handsome young man didn't neglect Lu Manman just because she was dressed simply; he still bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome!"
One of them stepped forward, smiling, and guided Lu Manman to her seat, respectfully handing her the menu.
Looking at the prices on the menu, Lu Manman gasped inwardly. Although she knew that natural food was precious these days, it still exceeded her expectations.
Not a single dish costs less than 10,000 yuan; it's an incredibly profitable industry!
But since she was already there, Lu Manman didn't hold back at all.
What's your signature dish?
"A mixed vegetable stew".
The road ahead is long: ...
Yes, that makes sense. The most expensive items here are natural plants, so a vegetable stew must have a lot of vegetables, hence the higher price. I understand.
I slowly looked at the price: 28,888 yuan per liter, a very auspicious number.
"Alright, give me this one."
Soon, a small bowl of food was served.
That's it? Calm down, calm down, I'm a rich man now.
Lu Manman glanced at it briefly and saw various vegetables such as chili peppers, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, and winter melons.
That does live up to the name.
I picked up my chopsticks and took a bite. The taste was just so-so. They dare to charge such a high price for something like this. It seems I should consider opening a restaurant.
I can buy a few robots to work for me and I won't have to worry about making money.
However, she doesn't have to work so hard right now, as she has a lot of money in her account, and the interest from the bank is enough to cover her expenses for the long journey ahead.
Thinking of this, Lu Manman instantly felt that the future was promising, and her mood was pleasant. Even the vegetable stew on the table smelled better.
"What gift did your dad prepare for your coming-of-age ceremony this year?"
Suddenly, the conversation between a few boys at the next table caught Lu Manman's attention.
To be honest, she was only 18 years old before she was frozen in ice.
The boy, looking proud, replied, "It's nothing, just a planet."
"Wow, Uncle, you've really gone all out this time! You're going to be a Star Lord now!"
Congratulations!
Lu Manman paused, her chopsticks still in her hand. Planets? Right! Planets can be freely bought and sold now, so can she...?
Thinking of this, Lu Manman quickly turned on her personal computer and began to search.
From what I understand, a single planet costs at least 200 million, with no upper limit.
Lu Manman clicked on one of the links and was naturally redirected to the planet trading page.
It shows various planets of different sizes, each with its basic information and price.
Lu Manman even saw a planet worth 888.8 billion on the homepage.
[Take the planet home for just 8888...]
What do you mean by only 888.8 billion? Is that cheap? Lu Manman says he can't afford it.
I silently selected the sorting order, from low to high prices.
The first one is a barren planet with no vegetation, called Kaiping Star, with a total area of 24.99 million square kilometers, which is about one-twentieth the size of the ancient Blue Star.
Although the area is decent, it's almost entirely desert and ocean, with oceans making up 80% of the planet's surface.
Moreover, the location is extremely remote, and there is no one there at all.
However, this is on special offer, only 120 million.
Lu Manman clicked on the real estate agent's profile and inquired.
[What is the lowest price on this planet?]
The agent was overjoyed when he saw the pop-up message. Someone had actually asked about this planet that had been ignored for years. He remembered that the last time someone had asked about it was two years ago.
Agent: [Hi, do you need it? If you're really interested in buying, I can apply for an employee discount for you.]
Lu Manman: [How much?]
Agent: [One hundred million.]
Lu Manman: [80 million, I'll buy it for 80 million.]
Agent: [You know, this planet is already having a special sale, it really can't get any lower.]
Lu Manman: [Fine, forget it then, I won't buy it.]
Seeing the deal slip away, the agent panicked: "Please wait a moment, I'll apply to the bureau."
The agent said he would apply to the Planet Administration, but he was actually conflicted. He had been young and impetuous, spending all his savings to buy this planet, intending to renovate it and make a fortune.
It turned out to be completely useless. No matter what kind of plant it was, it couldn't be planted there, not even the most drought-resistant plants, or even poisonous or mutated plants.
If we really want to transform it, it would probably cost several billion, but I've already emptied my savings just buying planets, so I definitely don't have that kind of money.
I initially spent 79.99 million to buy the planet, and now it's worth 80 million. I haven't even recouped my initial investment.
However, considering how harsh the conditions on this planet are, it's better to get rid of it than to leave it to me.
After a moment, the agent continued:
[Hi, 80 million is fine. The application has been approved. When would be a convenient time for you to make the payment and hand over the goods?]
Lu Manman: [How do I do it?]
Under the guidance of the agent, Lu Manman found a holographic cabin bar, just like the old internet cafes, but this one was more advanced. After lying inside, she could holographically access the internet.
The holographic network felt so real that if it weren't for the occasional disappearances and reappearances of people, Lu Manman would have thought it was the real world.
Following the agent's instructions, Lu Manman searched for 'Planet Administration Bureau'.
Click to enter, and Lu Manman was instantly teleported to the entrance of the Planet Administration Bureau.
The agent was already waiting at the door. He didn't take Lu Manman seriously, since Lu Manman looked like a minor.
Upon seeing this, Lu Manman immediately stepped forward and greeted her, "Are you the agent who invited me here?"
The real estate agent was a little suspicious as he looked at the long road ahead.
Agent: "...Are you Mr. Zhao Jianguo?"
The agent looked Lu Manman up and down, expressing his doubt. Could he have been fooled by this silly little kid? This little guy looked to be less than 170cm tall, and nowadays, most 17 or 18-year-olds are under 180cm.
Lu Manman nodded, "Yes, that's me."
"Fine, money talks," the agent quickly forced a smile. "Okay, Mr. Zhao, could you please show me your ID?"
After checking Lu Manman's ID, the agent realized that she was actually an adult. He breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that he hadn't been tricked and that there was still someone willing to take her place.
In a cheerful mood, the agent led Lu Manman into the Planet Administration Bureau, and the agent very considerately helped Lu Manman complete the procedures.
An hour later, Lu Manman's account had 80 million less and a planet ownership certificate more.
From then on, the road ahead was long—oh no!—it was that Zhao Jianguo finally had her own private planet.
Hahahaha! She's going to bring enough seeds to live out her prime there, enjoying a carefree life all to herself, and never have to worry about being exposed and dissected again.
However, thinking of Zhao Jianguo's last words... I still want to help him complete them if I have the chance.
