Chapter 6 What is Food
Mu Qingxin quickly moved out of the space and went into the bathroom. She glanced at the electronic clock beside the bed. It was twelve o'clock in the evening. Mu Qingxin took off her clothes and put them in the dust collector. She quickly turned on the shower (water) sign and rinsed herself.
"I entered the space at nine o'clock, and it took me four hours. It seems that time passes slower in the space than outside, but how much slower? I will study it tomorrow." Mu Qingxin washed five or six times before she completely washed off the dirt on her body.
Standing in front of the mirror, Mu Qingxin was nearly blinded by her own brilliance. "Is this really me?" The girl in the mirror had skin as white as snow, smooth as silk. Her round face had a hint of baby fat, and her large eyes, as black as black crystal, seemed to be covered in a layer of mist. Her long, curled eyelashes flickered with each blink, like a small feather fan.
The most distinctive feature of her is her hair, which has a slight natural curl, especially at her temples, hanging in spirals beside her cheeks, making her look as delicate as a doll.
"Oh, it's just a little small here," Mu Qingxin touched her chest with some regret. In her previous life, she was a D, so this one is probably just an A. It doesn't matter, she is still young and has room to grow, Mu Qingxin comforted herself.
Mu Qingxin put on a simple vest dress and lay down on the bed to sleep without entering the space again. Before going to bed, she was still thankful that she decisively refused to let Pier in when she returned to her room, otherwise she would have been exposed.
After a good night's dream, Mu Qingxin woke up at eight o'clock in the morning. She opened her eyes and saw a strange room. She was stunned for a moment, not knowing where she was.
Everything that happened yesterday flashed through her mind, and she finally realized she was no longer on Earth, but in the Alliance System. She felt a wave of loss. Although she didn't have any close relatives or friends on Earth, she had lived there for over twenty years, and leaving abruptly was a bit of a pain.
She took a deep breath and cheered herself up, "Mu Qingxin, you are no longer the same person you used to be. A new life has begun. There are many handsome guys waiting for you to pick them up. Come on!" Mu Qingxin couldn't help getting excited when she thought that there were many handsome guys in the world who were as handsome as her brother.
Mu Qingxin quickly washed up and opened her closet, only to find a collection of baby pink outfits. She found a simple, pale yellow dress and put it on. She tied her hair into a simple ponytail, and a vibrant young woman appeared in the mirror.
"So beautiful!" Mu Qingxin once again admired her own beauty and left the room with a little joy in her heart.
Because she knew what happened to the original owner in the past 15 years, Mu Qingxin was not worried at all that she would be found out as not the original one. After regaining consciousness, she accepted external information like a newborn baby, and her personality was as good as new. As long as she maintained the cuteness that should have been expected at this age, everything would be OK.
Mu Qingxin has decided to act cute in front of her family, but she doesn't know that this decision will become the one she regrets the most in the future. Acting cute is the most shameful thing!
"Good morning, Master Xinxin."
As soon as she went out, Mu Qingxin saw Pierre standing outside the door. "Good morning, Pierre." Mu Qingxin greeted him with a smile. She was very interested in studying this portable robot (after all, she was a country bumpkin and had never seen high technology).
When Pierre heard Master Xinxin greeting him, he, who had never been stuck before, was stuck now. "Hello, Master."
Mu Qingxin looked at the stiff Pierre with some confusion, and asked worriedly, "Pierre, does your mouth need maintenance? Or does any part need to be replaced?" Otherwise, why would it get stuck?
Upon hearing his master's concern, Pier instantly returned to normal. "Master, Pier is fine and doesn't need any repairs. The three young masters have been training in the training room for two hours. They will be out in another hour. Before entering the training room, the three young masters specifically instructed the master to drink the nutrient solution, and then Pier will teach the master the language." Pier paused. "Although I know the master doesn't understand, I still have to report these words to the master."
"I understand," Mu Qingxin smiled and blinked. "Pierre, I was just a little dazed by the lightning attack yesterday, and I just regained consciousness and was a little confused. I'm completely fine after a good sleep, and I can communicate normally. You just need to tell me about the origin of this galaxy, the major events in the galaxy, and the situation outside, so that I can understand this world again."
After hearing this, Pierre scanned his master's physical condition and found that his master's mental strength was very stable and his physical condition was healthier than ever before. He believed his master's words and took out a bottle of nutrient solution from his pocket.
"This is Young Master Qixi's special instruction. It's your favorite strawberry-flavored nutrient solution." Pierre handed the nutrient solution to Mu Qingxin.
Mu Qingxin looked at the nutrient solution in Pier's hand and felt distressed. "Pier, does everyone in this galaxy only drink nutrient solution? Don't they eat food?"
"Food?" Pierre immediately searched for information after hearing this novel word. "After searching, I found that food refers to substances that can meet the body's normal physiological and biochemical energy needs, sustain normal life activities, and help prolong life. Food is usually composed of carbohydrates and fats."
“.”
"So, in the final analysis, food is something that can be eaten." Pierre finished his search and looked at his master. "Master, do you want to eat food?"
"Is it okay?" Mu Qingxin perked up and looked at Pierre expectantly.
Pierre turned on his imaging function, and several pictures appeared on the screen. "Uh, is this... fruit salad?" Mu Qingxin asked uncertainly, looking at the unattractive red and green pictures.
"Fruit salad? What's that?" Pierre searched but couldn't find any relevant information. "This is a delicacy made by nutritionist Barry from the Capital Planet. Barry's delicacies are comparable to high-grade energy liquids. Each dish is worth 800,000 credits, but there's still a shortage of people. Many people want to buy it but can't."
Mu Qingxin had already given up hope. She took the strawberry-flavored nutrient solution from Pierre's hand and drank it in one gulp. Turning to the living room, she said, "Pierre, tell me what kind of world this is."
"Okay, Master," Pierre tapped the image several times. "Master, please look. It's interstellar year 4021. Four thousand years ago, when humans still lived on Blue Star, the environment was severely polluted due to human activity. Coupled with the explosion of nuclear weapons, all life on Blue Star was exposed to radiation, leading to an apocalyptic crisis. This crisis reduced the world's population to one-tenth of the total. At that time, Blue Star was completely uninhabitable. Suddenly, one day, a group of aliens arrived from outer space and reached an agreement with the leader of Blue Star to leave Blue Star and enter the universe with the remaining one-tenth of the population. However, because the planet they chose was unsuitable for Blue Star humans, and because there were many powerful races in outer space, various battles broke out, catching the Blue Star humans off guard. The population quickly dwindled to 200,000. After countless genetic transformations, the Blue Star humans possessed perfect genes and excellent physical fitness, fully adapted to space survival, and with a strong determination to occupy the Wind Star System. Other races also stopped fighting, reached an agreement on peaceful coexistence, and rested and recuperated. The moment the war stopped, humanity officially entered the universe..."
