Chapter 5 Forced to go to school
"My daughter, if they don't spoil you, I will!"
Liu Qingqing was stunned. What? Why did the topic suddenly take a 180-degree turn?
Xi Chen was still immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself.
"My dear, I know you must have had a hard time before. I will definitely try my best to treat you well and take you away from this garbage planet. Although I can't guarantee that you can live the same life as you did before, I will definitely give you the best..."
Xi Chen was mumbling something the whole time.
In fact, Xi Chen himself might not be clear about what he was saying, but he kept repeating it to let Liu Qingqing know that he would definitely treat her well!
Liu Qingqing felt in an instant that it was really worth it to recognize this father, because now there is someone who loves her!
She can take his kindness to her for granted and act coquettishly to him without any scruples or worries.
Maybe his strength is not that strong, but he will try his best to give you all the best he can get.
Liu Qingqing suddenly didn't want to leave Xi Chen's arms.
Ah, now she has a home too! How wonderful!
After putting the box of nutrient solution that Liu Qingqing took out in the room, she took the opportunity to take out a bunch of big red apples.
"Dad, there are still many apples in my magic space. They are delicious. Come and try them!"
Xi Chen's heart almost melted.
She really deserves to be his little cotton-padded jacket, so considerate!
In fact, there are all kinds of supplies in Liu Qingqing's space, but they cannot be taken out for the time being, so she first took out apples, a fruit that exists in the interstellar age and is common in wealthy areas.
However, in the future, if you need to take out something, you can just ask the space to do it without worrying about being suspected.
Hey, space is awesome!
It’s a pity that she still can’t produce some things that are not in line with this era, otherwise her modified cars, her food, her plant seeds and so on can also see the light of day!
However, it must be said that thanks to Xi Chen's fatherly love filter, otherwise anyone with a little more eyes would have doubted where this space came from. Now Liu Qingqing didn't have to rack her brains to come up with an excuse. Xi Chen imagined a scene in which Liu Qingqing casually took the space hub when she was expelled.
"Dad, let me cook for you!"
It's useless to think too much, it's better to do something else to divert her attention.
Then she suddenly remembered the mutant rat in the space.
If not now, when?
Liu Qingqing took the mutant rat out of the space, which scared Xi Chen.
How could this kid have a mutant rat on him?
However, he was indeed worried about whether Liu Qingqing could cook. Mainly because he was afraid that Liu Qingqing's cooking would be too unpalatable and would hurt her feelings.
Forget it. Xi Chen decided to snatch all the mutant rats when the time comes. Even if they taste bad, he would be the only one who thinks they taste bad. At least he wouldn't hurt his daughter's kindness.
Then he watched Liu Qingqing take out some bottles and jars from the space. Xi Chen took one and smelled it.
Well, it should be seasoned, it has some fragrance.
In a short while, Liu Qingqing skinned the mutant rat, removed its internal organs and venom glands, and skewered it with iron skewers.
Then it was slowly roasted over the fire, and the mutant rat meat made crackling sounds on the fire.
The meat was sizzling on it, and Liu Qingqing thought it was about time, so she sprinkled some seasoning on it.
At that moment, the aroma of the meat burst out.
When Xichen smelled this scent, his mouth was watering!
However, Liu Qingqing remained calm.
Oh, it’s no big deal, just a few sprinkles of water.
The aroma of barbecue began to spread out from the barbecue.
The smell was so fragrant. Fortunately, Xichen was the only family living near the shabby house, otherwise he would be really afraid that someone would snatch it from him.
Xi Chen carefully tore off a small piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. The meat was tender and delicious.
He couldn't help but think that this was what meat could taste like.
In the interstellar world, the only meat that everyone agrees to eat is the meat of star beasts, but at most people just cut the meat off and roast it directly over a fire.
Then, in order to prevent parasites from being undercooked, everyone assumes that the meat will be cooked black before eating. However, even so, some parts will still not be cooked through.
Xi Chen sighed in her heart, her love for her daughter was not in vain! Not only was she filial, but she was also a good cook.
This rat was particularly large, and Liu Qingqing had a relatively small appetite, so this one mutant rat was enough for the two of them to eat.
In this way, after opening their hearts to each other, the father and daughter both tried hard to live their little lives.
Then after a while, Liu Qingqing discovered that there was something wrong with Xi Chen.
For example, he can walk through pollutants as if there are no obstacles. This alone proves that his mental strength is not low.
As we all know, if you want to live safely on a garbage planet, you must have physical strength above level C and mental strength above level B. Only in this way can you ensure your physical safety to the greatest extent.
People below this level can actually live on the garbage planet, but they can't stay outside the house for a long time, and it will cause great harm to the body.
The best example of this is the original owner. He had low physical and mental strength but had to stay outside and eventually died.
Therefore, most people living on the garbage planet do not live to the age of 60. In this world where the average lifespan of interstellar people is between 200 and 300 years old, or even up to 500 years old if they have strong mental powers, this can be said to be a premature death.
However, her father was one of those who survived safely.
So her father, a man with physical strength above C level and mental strength above B level, actually ended up on a garbage planet!
She doesn't understand.
For example, one time when she was tidying up, she found many books about mechas in her father's cabinet, with many annotations on them.
And a few times when her father came back, she saw that his arms were bulging.
Finally, after Liu Qingqing's secret observation, she discovered that what was in her father's arms was actually a book.
So why did he read books secretly, and books about mechas at that?
The conclusion is that he is either a top student from the only school on this garbage planet who has been exiled, or he was exiled to this planet like Liu Qingqing!
So her father's identity is a mystery just like hers!
But Liu Qingqing didn't care. What did Xi Chen's identity matter? He was her father anyway!
And so, a few months passed and they were still working hard to pick up trash.
The nutrient solution they received last time was enough to fill their stomachs, but their daily income still depended on picking up trash.
Only some fruits could be taken out of the space, and some fruits that were not available in the interstellar space could not be taken out. The quantity had to be controlled. After all, that wealthy family would not casually place such precious natural food in the space hub, and she, an abandoned child, got it.
Even the fact that she had a spatial hub was only possible because her father's love forced her to cover her eyes and make her believe it.
In the end, she could only take out a few apples every now and then to supplement her father's nutrition.
As for work, there is nothing she can do. After all, this is a garbage planet and there is really no proper job for her father to do.
But Liu Qingqing didn't care. After all, labor was the most glorious. She had also picked up scraps in the early days of the apocalypse.
During this period, Liu Qingqing's special abilities could not be used due to the hidden injuries in her body.
Suddenly one day Xi Chen stopped Liu Qingqing and said he would take her to school.
Huh? Liu Qingqing was shocked.
The first thing she thought about was where her family got the money to send her to school?
Then Liu Qingqing saw her father take out a cloth bag full of crumpled Alliance banknotes.
Because they basically have no optical computers for communication, daily currency exchanges rely entirely on this kind of paper currency.
Liu Qingqing felt a lump in her throat at that moment and she wanted to refuse.
"My child, you should go to school at your age. Although we can't give you a particularly good education here, it is still useful to be able to go to school!
Don't worry, I have money here. And what is money? Money is meant to be spent, otherwise what is the point of having it? "
Liu Qingqing looked at Xi Chen and he was speechless.
Her father continued:
"You don't have to worry about money. We adults should handle that. All you have to do now is trust me and study hard. Try to leave this planet as soon as possible."
Looking at the silly smile on her father's face, Liu Qingqing couldn't hold it in anymore and hugged her father's waist and burst into tears.
