Chapter 242 Return to the Stars⑤



There are indeed no shortcuts in this world.

Yun Yuan was distressed, a hint of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her brows were furrowed.

With her current ability, it would take at least ten days or half a month to cultivate another plant. She also has tasks to complete, so how could she stay that long?

Bai Nai gave her some advice: "You can graduate from the Agricultural College as long as you have enough credits. Maybe you can take fewer credits this semester and make up for it next semester."

"This is the only way." Yun Yuan sighed, "The Fire Luo Grass can't be wasted. Let's go to the flea market and sell it."

Bai Nai: "That's fine."

Yun Yuan carefully dug out the Fire Luo Grass with tools and wrapped it up. She looked up and asked him, "Just one Fire Luo Grass is too little. Do you have anything else to sell?"

Bai Nai was slightly stunned as he looked at her delicate face. Was she going to drag him along to sell things?

He thought for a moment and said, "I have a mutant beast core in my space, would you like to sell it to me?"

Mutant beasts are species that have been mutated by the planet's violent energy and are extremely difficult to deal with.

Yun Yuan shook her head in disappointment. She just wanted to scrape together some small items to set up a stall.

Things like Yuanhe are not easy to get. If you sell it too high, no one will buy it. If you sell it too low, Bai Nai will suffer a loss. The two of them are not familiar with each other, so it is better not to sell it.

There are a lot of things in the space, and she can even set up a barbecue stall or something, but she doesn't want to reveal that Bai Nai is a member of the Federation. What if the Federation asks her to hand it over for free?

She doesn't have such a broad mind, so she probably doesn't even have a place to cry.

Yun Yuan took a single Fire Luo Grass to the flea market on the back street of the school, found the Pharmacy College stall, asked several stall owners, and successfully sold the Fire Luo Grass.

She handed the star coin to Bai Nai.

Bai Nai was surprised: "Give it to me?"

Yun Yuan nodded: "You are the one who saved the Huoluo grass, so of course I give it to you."

Bai Nai refused to take it, "The Fire Luo Grass is yours, I just lost a little energy."

"The seeds were distributed by the academy, and I didn't contribute much." Yun Yuan said, "How about this, I see a lot of people selling food nearby, we can use the money from selling the Fire Luo grass to buy something to eat together."

Bai Nai hesitated after hearing what he said, and finally said tactfully: "The things they sell may not suit your taste..."

"It's okay, I'm not picky." Yun Yuan said, "Let's go to the stall at the culinary academy. My classmates said the food they make is very good. Even though it doesn't look good, it tastes great."

The culinary academy was only opened this year. The Federal Academy of Sciences has developed an instrument that can measure the concentration of violent factors in animals. It no longer requires people with high mental powers to conduct special testing, which greatly facilitates ordinary people.

In the past, ordinary people did not dare to touch interstellar animals for fear of dying suddenly after eating them. But now with this instrument, they began to study how to cook them deliciously, and cooking schools came into being.

But everything is still in the trial stage.

Bai Nai knew this very well, and said quietly: "Is there a possibility that they are lying to you?"

"That's impossible." Yun Yuan said, "If one person says it's good, it might be fake, but everyone who has been there says it's good. I think we can give it a try."

In the past, she was so busy with her part-time job that she had no time to visit the flea market or the "food street" where the culinary academy was located.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Yun Yuan, Bai Nai had no choice but to follow her.

When we arrived at the food street, we saw students from the culinary academy wearing retro chef uniforms and white chef hats, waving various kitchen utensils and enthusiastically greeting students passing by.

"Water beast soup for sale, 60 star coins a bowl."

"Boiled bird and beast eggs are 100 star coins each."

So expensive?! Yun Yuan was shocked, but then she thought about it and it made sense. Natural ingredients are not easy to come by, so the dishes made from them must be even more expensive.

She could accept it if it was just a little more expensive, but the food didn't look very good and didn't smell good either. Yun Yuan frowned, and so did the other people visiting the food court.

They gathered together and stared at it, but no one bought anything.

Finally someone took the first step, "Give me a bowl of water beast soup."

"Okay, 60 star coins a bowl."

The stall owner skillfully picked up the spoon and gently stirred the soup in the big pot in front of him.

Yun Yuan moved forward curiously, wanting to take a closer look. When she saw what was inside the pot, she couldn't help but gasp.

The pot was full of strange-looking aquatic creatures with various death states. They looked neither like common fish nor any known species on Earth.

These creatures have twisted and deformed bodies and strange shapes, and some even have hands and feet, as if they are monsters from outer space!

Uh... outer space.

The stall owner seemed to be accustomed to all this. With an expressionless face, he scooped up a spoonful of dark soup and poured it carefully into a metal bowl.

The classmate couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and put a full spoonful of soup into his mouth.

However, in just a moment, his face turned extremely ugly, and then with a "puff" sound, he spat out all the soup he had just drunk!

The onlookers quickly asked, "Is it delicious?"

The classmate drank it all in one gulp with a distorted face and said, "It tastes good. You can try it too."

Everyone sighed and said, "I'll believe it if you drink one more bowl."

The man actually drank another bowl. Someone else, who was skeptical, also bought a bowl. After taking a sip, he felt like vomiting bile.

The onlookers asked, "Is it delicious?"

The man held his stomach and said with difficulty, "It's delicious... My stomach is bothering me, not that the soup is not delicious."

Yun Yuan: “…”

She finally understood why everyone said the food at the culinary academy was delicious. It turned out that after being cheated, they wanted to cheat the next person, and after the next person was cheated, they wanted to cheat the next person. Those who had been cheated tacitly conceded to cheating the next person.

Yun Yuan shook her head: "Let's go, the water beast soup doesn't taste good, let's go look at the bird and beast eggs."

Bai Nai breathed a sigh of relief and followed silently.

The bird was a duck-billed bird, and its egg was particularly large. Yun Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still spent 100 star coins to buy one, and she and Bai Nai each got half.

It was very fishy and woody. Boiled eggs couldn't be blamed on poor cooking skills. Yun Yuan thought that perhaps duckbill eggs were not suitable for boiling.

Bai Nai saw Yun Yuan frowning, so he snatched the egg from her hand and threw it away. "There's a traditional Chinese food restaurant nearby that I've been to before. It tastes better than this. I'll treat you."

"Okay." Yun Yuan agreed happily. She had never eaten ancient recipe dishes in the interstellar space and wanted to see what they were like.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of a beautifully decorated restaurant. Bai Nai introduced: "This is a restaurant owned by the Chu family. I've been here a few times before. If you have any concerns about this, we can also choose to dine somewhere else."

He gestured for her to look across. "That's the Qi family's restaurant. Like the Chu family, they're a food and beverage giant. Both families hold multiple recipe patents, produce nutritional supplements in a variety of flavors, and have their own fruit and vegetable cultivation centers. Most of the fruits and vegetables on Central Star come from the Chu and Qi families."

It sounded very powerful. Yun Yuan said, "No need to change, this is the one."
