Chapter 047 Chapter 47
The long-haired young man just glanced at the two of them and didn't even stand up to greet them. He continued to sit behind the counter with a calm demeanor.
Ayan held Juejue's hand, the two looked at each other and said what they wanted to say.
I was just saying this week was unusually quiet, and sure enough, something big happened.
Plane Convenience Store, is that what they understand it to mean?
A store selling goods from different dimensions?
Ah Yan thought for a moment and spoke cautiously, "Excuse me, what is used for transactions here?"
"Can we leave here without buying anything?"
In this case, a door suddenly appears on the road, and you are pulled in without even touching the door handle. To put it nicely, it is called meeting a destined person, but to put it bluntly, isn't it just forced solicitation?
This isn't a forced sale, is it?
Although Ah Yan thought that the Halo people she and Jue Jue had met before were already very weird, she didn't expect that the one in front of her was even more mysterious.
They actually took them away directly from the street. Is this a different dimension?
When I was a kid and watched old Hong Kong dramas, there were these kinds of shops that suddenly appeared, and the things they wanted to trade were things like souls, appearances, and life spans!
Plane canteen, who knows what plane this is connected to! Could it be the eighteen layers of hell, or the devil of the abyss? So, Ah Yan spoke very cautiously.
At the same time, she was also observing the environment of the plane convenience store. The space was not too big and the entire interior decoration had a very primitive feel.
In the glass and wooden cabinet, there is a large space between each item. Only the name of the product is marked, but there is no price written on it.
It's even more weird to have a product without a price tag! If it's put on the scale, it will cost several years of life. Ah Yan still cherishes his life.
The owner of this convenience store, reclining behind the counter, looks just like the owner of an ordinary convenience store downstairs, lazy and indifferent.
After hearing Ah Yan's question, the long-haired young man straightened up slightly.
"Xia Guobi electronic payment, green code, blue code, cloud flash payment are all available, and cash can also be accepted. If it really doesn't work, you can also barter."
"Although the shop is small, it is not a shady place. We will not force you to buy or sell anything. If you two don't like something, just turn around and go back to where you came from."
After hearing what the convenience store owner said, Ah Yan felt relieved. Electronic payment was magical. This place was like being in another dimension. They could even extend the Internet cable here!
Ah Yan nodded at him, "Then let's take a look first."
She also wanted to know what exactly was sold in the canteen on this plane.
If some special abilities were to spread, wouldn't the world become even more abnormal?
Ah Yan and Jue Jue were looking at the goods in front of them. In fact, there were not many goods in this canteen, but they were indeed things that the two had never seen before.
The shelves where the two of them were currently standing seemed to be filled with some special "foods".
This is a type of snack that Ayan and Zhujue have never seen before.
"Nebula brand nutritional supplements."
Ah Yan picked up a small bottle made of unknown material, about two fingers wide, with Chinese characters and another different type of text engraved on it for introduction and explanation.
The Helix Nebula logo is very obvious on the entire bottle. Ah Yan noticed that it was marked [Standard Single-Day Energy - Chocolate Flavor]
Is this the legendary nutritional supplement? Something that can last a whole day? I don’t know what it tastes like.
Ah Yan touched her chin. Anyway, the compressed biscuits and energy bars she had eaten were all high in oil, sugar and had a long shelf life, and the taste was really not good.
For a plane that can produce such portable nutritional supplements, the technological level should at least be higher than that of modern times, right?
I don't know what raw materials it is made of. This kind of thing should be very useful when time is tight or in places like battlefields, but if you eat it on a normal day as a daily meal, Ayan will definitely not be able to do it.
"Where is this manufactured?"
Ah Yan pretended to be innocent and asked, "Are these portable nutritional supplements supplied exclusively to the military? Why are there minority languages? Are they for export? Or is this a sci-fi collaboration by some small company?"
Lu Chen looked up at this moment. Although he was the owner of this convenience store, it was his first time opening the door to welcome customers, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
"I can't tell you about the source of the product, but you can be assured of the quality. One bottle of this portable nutritional supplement can provide the energy you need for the whole day."
Lu Chen had secretly observed the two of them for a long time, and they looked like an ordinary young college couple.
"It's very convenient for emergencies during exam weeks or when time is tight." He said the words he had thought of.
This is his first customer in this world, so he has to make a sale!
This time he specially chose to stock up on some snacks. Although they looked different from the food on Blue Star, Lu Chen felt that they could be sold.
Opening and opening, since he was inexplicably bound by the plane system, his original dream of opening a snack shop after graduating from university had to take a turn.
It changed from an ordinary snack shop to a plane shop.
The canteen owner is a novice, and the spicy chips, spicy strips, dried figs, crispy noodles, fish skin and bean curd that he originally planned to stock in his canteen have just arrived.
Now it can only be left in the warehouse for him to consume slowly.
Lu Chen is now the most junior plane shop owner. He can only go to other planes once a month, and it is random. He cannot choose the plane himself.
In order to prepare for this first time of dimensional travel, Lu Chen spent a huge amount of money to make many preparations for himself.
Because he was not sure what level of plane he was heading to, although he guessed that it was most likely from the low-end ancient times, he still made several plans, including exquisite clothing from several dynasties, modern clothing, self-defense weapons, glass beads and soaps that could be sold at high prices in ancient times, specially customized small mirrors, cheap artificial synthetic gems, traditional Chinese skin care products and cosmetics, as well as various high-yield grain seeds, spare medicines, and so on.
Lu Chen even studied the three great books on time travel for a long time, and also took careful notes on the ancient time travel strategies on the Internet.
As a result, until the first time he traveled through dimensions, Lu Chen was dumbfounded.
Who could tell him why he, a shop owner from an ordinary technological dimension, would be sent to the future interstellar space for the first time?
Lu Chen, who had grown long hair for a long time, was stunned after putting on ancient skin for himself in advance.
Especially when a warrior in power armor suddenly appeared in his store, his heart collapsed at that moment.
This big brother, who was more sci-fi than anything in sci-fi movies, was stunned when he saw Lu Chen wearing ancient costume and a wig. When he saw the goods displayed in the canteen, he became even more enthusiastic.
"Brother, you are also a fan of Ancient Blue Star. This outfit of yours is so, so suitable for you!"
"Your clothes look similar to the ones in the museum. I don't think the material is ordinary synthetic silk. Could it be pure natural? Hiss! You are worthy of being from Ancient Blue Star."
The armored warrior couldn't help but get closer to Lu Chen and looked at his face carefully.
"As expected, you are a pure blood among pure bloods. Nowadays, it is difficult for the holographic actors in those Star Network dramas to model a face as traditional as yours."
The pure blood came out, and Lu Chen didn't dare to say a word.
The plane system equipped him with an automatic translator, but he was afraid that he would be exposed as soon as he opened his mouth. He didn't know anything about this world at all!
The Blue Star has become the Ancient Blue Star in the mouth of this mecha warrior. Lu Chen always kept a faint smile on his face, neither admitting nor denying it, in order to maintain his superior demeanor.
Lu Chen put the cheap small mirrors that he had originally intended to fool the ancients on the shelf, various glass cups, and porcelain bottles of skin care products, all of which excited the mecha warrior so much that he wanted to take them out and enlarge them to take a look.
"Brother, is this your personal museum? Are these all the collections you collected yourself? They are in such good condition. These things look like civilian items before the development of the Milky Way. Not many of them have survived until now."
Lu Chen smiled without saying anything, but silently collected various information from the excited words of this first customer.
Finally, after much persuasion from the warrior named Lucas, Lu Chen sold him a small handheld mirror for 300,000 star coins. The small round mirror had an ancient pattern on the back.
After seeing off the first guest from this alien dimension, Lu Chen immediately closed the store.
He hid in the store and observed what ordinary people outside were wearing. Fortunately, not everyone was wearing something like armor.
Lu Chen pulled out a pair of dark blue clothes without any logo from his warehouse and went out. He appeared in this future dimension with an appearance of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
It is impossible to analyze what you see with your eyes. Looking up at the sky, you can see spaceships floating in the sky, and on the tracks, there are speeding cars of various shapes. The lines intersect and appear to be one road, but it seems that there are multiple different thoroughfares built in.
Passersby were lip syncing to the air in the street. After staying on this planet called Kalu for two days, Lu Chen realized that this was probably because the privacy shield of the intelligent computer was turned on, and others could not see the people and content of the conversation.
Because of his "pure blood" face, Lu Chen even modified his appearance and hair. Fortunately, he had made a lot of preparations for going to ancient times.
Although I haven’t been able to go to ancient times now, I will try to disguise myself in the future.
Lu Chen stayed on the planet Kalu for a full half month. With 300,000 star coins, he quickly bought some daily necessities of this era and a virtual area. As long as he didn't speak, he could successfully disguise himself as an interstellar person.
Three hundred thousand is a huge sum of money, more than enough for daily living. The price of a smart computer used by ordinary people is only a few thousand.
But the cautious Lu Chen did not dare to touch the high-tech products of this era.
The time gap is too great. Even if it is brought back, given the huge gap in the technological level of the two societies, it would probably seem like a mystery.
Therefore, he slowly explored the star network of this era, but because of the long time and disorder of inheritance, the interstellar era held an extremely mysterious filter for the "Ancient Blue Star" thousands of years ago.
It is very difficult for Lu Chen to find technical information that is close to his real-world technology!
The level of technology is so advanced that the purchase of high-energy weapons requires various certifications, and clothes and furniture are all high-tech products.
Lu Chen wandered around for a long time, wondering what to buy, and finally set his sights on food from the Star Age.
Snacks are indispensable in every era.
Even in this era when the descendants of the Blue Planet have traveled all over the universe, the hot topics on the Star Network are always related to the food of their home planet.
Brand A's salty tofu flavored nutritional supplements and Brand B's sweet tofu flavored nutritional supplements were fighting each other, dragging everyone into the business war. Lu Chen, who was seeing this scene for the first time, was shocked.
We Blue Planet people are really good at it. Two thousand years later, even though the historical inheritance has been interrupted, we still argue for a month over the salty or sweet taste of tofu pudding.
Finally, Lu Chen purchased some high-tech products (for his own use only) and kept a few extra ones in case he went to a world close to the future next time and the technological level was not much different.
Of course, what the canteen is really preparing to bring back to modern society is the various snacks of the future.
He specifically picked some products whose appearance and packaging didn't look too strange and whose flavors were acceptable to modern people.
In order to try these snacks, Lu Chen can be said to have paid a lot.
Isn't it normal for a small shop to sell some strange food?
After all, the Chinese always come up with various innovations in food, and it will definitely not attract any special attention.
Therefore, in response to the young girl's question, Lu Chen simply brushed it off by saying that the channel was confidential.
Ah Yan said "Oh" but didn't ask the question. He was not in a hurry.
She put down the nutritional supplement in her hand and turned to look at other products.
“Is this cotton candy?”
She took out a piece of star cluster candy wrapped in a thin transparent bag. The star clusters of strange colors were wrapped in the transparent bag and expanded in size. It seemed as if she could touch the star clusters with her hand.
"Guest, this is star cluster candy. It is very practical. It can be tasted and can also bring you extraordinary feelings at night."
"Please look——"
Lu Chen snapped his fingers at this moment, and the plane convenience store instantly turned into night.
Ayan and Zhu Jue looked at the star cluster candy in her hand emitting a faint light.
In the deep darkness, it’s like looking up at the starry sky and seeing star clusters in another part of the universe.
Ah Yan was a little stunned. These candies could glow and were edible. The nutritional supplement just now was Helix Nebula brand, and this one was Star Cluster Candy.
Can snacks like this be developed in a hundred years?
Is it the modern future, or... the universe?
At this moment, the voice of Lu Chen, the owner of the canteen, was heard again: "Each star cluster candy represents a star cluster in the universe, and is restored one-to-one based on the moment of observation."
He was also very surprised when he ate this star cluster candy for the first time. Unfortunately, the time he spent in the interstellar plane was limited. Otherwise, he could have taken a spaceship to a star cluster tourist destination to check in like the interstellar people, and taken a photo of his life holding the star cluster candy.
A Yan:!
This star cluster candy in front of me seems to be more practical than the bedroom star lights that were once popular on the Internet. I am already attracted to it.
The shop owner Lu Chen gave another snap of the finger, and the daylight returned to the eyes of Ah Yan and Zhu Jue.
Ah Yan touched the transparent bag. Because the star cluster candy was a bit big, about the size of the large marshmallows freshly made on the street, she temporarily put it on the counter and continued to look at other products.
At this moment, Zhu Jue took out a square transparent box from the counter, inside of which was a round fruit.
The surface of this fruit is very strange, as if covered with a layer of hazy white mist.
"Built-in dry ice?" Zhu Jue asked.
Lu Chen laughed at this moment, "No, this is the Xiawu fruit, a kind of fruit that only blooms and bears fruit at a special time."
"Xiawu fruit?" A Yan was puzzled.
"This fruit grows under special climatic conditions. It can only grow and survive in places with perennial fog. When exposed to sunlight, the skin changes with the sunlight."
"Each berry tastes different. Before you taste it, the last exposure to the sun will determine its final taste and appearance."
Lu Chen shared the information he learned when purchasing the goods. If he had not tried the Xiawu Fruit himself, he would have thought that this thing only existed in human imagination or novels.
"Is this the color-changing fruit in nature? It tastes like the glow of a sunset glow. I guess it might not taste very good." Ah Yan thought.
It's a bit like the Tianbao fruit in the novels about cultivating immortals, but from what the shop owner said, it doesn't seem to have any special effects.
Lu Chen originally thought that after he finished saying these words that sounded like incomprehensible and unbelievable to others, the young couple in front of him would have many questions or look at him as if he was crazy.
But the two just nodded and said, "I understand."
It seemed like everything was normal, and I didn't feel like what he said was made up. I believed it completely, but I didn't find it strange.
Are their brain circuits too long?
It can't be that he is abnormal, Lu Chen thought.
You know, because the mist fruit must mature under the natural glow of the sunset and is very expensive, he specially bought it and brought it back to Blue Star to do his own experiments. The fruits taste completely different when illuminated by the morning glow and the evening glow.
Ah Yan now looked at the planet drinks on the counter next to him.
There are several kinds of round planet shapes, with natural bamboo tubes attached. I don’t know what is inside.
"Is this a drink? Coconut shell?" Although he knew that this thing was definitely not a coconut, Ah Yan still pretended.
"This is the Super Galaxy Cup." Lu Chen replied.
"There will be several small planets in the big galaxy cup, and each planet has a different flavor, which is equivalent to a blind box."
"A small planet?" A Yan was a little confused.
"Is it that you put a straw in it to get a different taste? Or is it jelly?"
Lu Chen now showed the two of them a galaxy cup. He held a large round ball in his hand and inserted a bamboo tube into it. The coconut-like galaxy cup suddenly opened up as if a switch had been pressed, revealing six small planets that circled around it.
"Good luck." Lu Chen said.
"Six balls were drawn. Galaxy Cup is a gamble. If you are unlucky, you may only get three. If you are lucky, you can get six or seven. As for the taste, it is also a gamble."
Lu Chen poked the bamboo tube at one of the small planets and frowned slightly.
"Huangyan grass juice, this doesn't taste good."
Yellow rock grass is an edible plant grown on many planets in the interstellar age. It is also a good thing that nutritionists recommend ingesting, but it really tastes bad.
Ah Yan watched him poke at the next small planet, but this time there was no drink inside, but a small ornament that opened directly.
"It's really a blind box." A Yan's eyes lit up. This thing is very interesting, he wants it!
As Ah Yan was presented with one dazzling snack after another, he kept asking about the price, with a knotted expression on his face.
As for any special benefits to oneself, these snacks do not have those. Ayan and Juejue discussed and selected a few items, especially the Xiawu fruit, which cost one thousand yuan each.
Because he wanted to try both the morning glow and evening glow, Ayan took two, which cost a total of two thousand yuan!
Ah Yan was not afraid that the things sold here would not be consistent with the actual things. Since the five words "Plane Store" appeared in the owner's mind, these snacks that she had never seen in reality should be genuine.
Moreover, the owner of the convenience store in this dimension is different from other Halo people after all. He is not someone that Ayan and Zhu Jue know, and they may not meet him again in the future.
Ah Yan thought about it and felt that it was a rare opportunity to experience such a "dimensional convenience store". If he could only come here once in his lifetime, then he would just buy it!
Galaxy Cup, I'll take it! Star Cluster Candy, I want it!
Nutritional supplements, take a few different flavors to try, this is very convenient when you go out traveling.
After shopping, Ayan and Juejue paid the bill and held in their hands a compressed packaging bag given by the store owner.
This thing is amazing. It is only the size of a button when you hold it in your hand. When you rub it with your hands until it becomes warm, it will grow bigger and bigger and become a big bag. When you don't need it, you can just roll it up and squeeze it and it can be compressed into a very small one again. It is very light and extremely convenient.
“Thank you for your patronage. You two just need to think of the place you want to go in your mind and open the door to get there directly.”
"If not, after opening the door, we will return directly to where you two came from."
Lu Chen didn't expect that this young couple would buy so much. They had a big order right at the opening. It was a good start for this world, and it made him feel relieved.
"The door of our store can only be seen by those who are destined to see it."
"If we are destined to meet, we may meet again." Lu Chen said with a smile.
Ah Yan nodded, "Thank you, boss. I haven't asked you what your name is yet."
"Lu Chen." he replied.
"Boss Lu, see you again if we have the chance." Zhu Jue said.
Ah Yan and Jue Jue discussed it in a low voice. It would be inconvenient to walk back from the mall with so many snacks in their hands suddenly, so they might as well go back to school directly.
Especially the small path where the two of them often stayed. There was no surveillance there, and usually no one went there. You could sit on a bench and wait for the sunset.
So, the two of them opened the door together and silently recited the location of the school in their hearts.
A white light flashed, and Ayan and Zhu Jue appeared on the campus path of Binda University.
After looking around to make sure no one was around, Ah Yan's beautiful eyes flickered: "That canteen door must be a random door."
You can open the door wherever you want to go. It’s just like the anywhere door in Doraemon!
"It would be convenient if Kaka had this." A Yan said.
If I could have a door like this and open it to go directly to wherever I want to go, I wonder how much travel money I could save!
It's like teleporting! If I change the door of my dormitory, I can sleep until the class starts in the morning, and then I can open the door and appear in the classroom. It's so convenient!
"I don't know who will come to the canteen in the future," Zhu Jue said.
This was an experience that was like seeing a ghost, and most people would probably think they had entered some urban legend.
Zhu Jue checked today's sunset time on his mobile phone, and the two of them sat on a bench waiting for the sunset.
Ye Ping'an was too lazy to leave school on the weekend. He slept until noon, played a few games in the afternoon, and strolled out at around five in the afternoon. After eating in the cafeteria, he remembered that he had not done any live broadcasts this week and his KPI was quite short.
The campus of Binhai University has always been the focus of his live broadcasts. Ye Pingan always goes to a few familiar places. Although the star-studded audience in the live broadcast room always says "no change of scenery", they also watch with gusto.
On this day, Ye Pingan held up his mobile phone and continued to broadcast the live broadcast in silence as usual, and he remained as steady as a rock even though thousands of bullet screens flashed before his eyes.
He had just finished dinner and his blood sugar level rose quickly. He yawned uncontrollably and took a wrong path on campus.
Although I'm not familiar with this road, it doesn't matter. It's inside the school and I can just walk out.
But the audience from the stars were very excited.
[New scenery, this road is finally ready, the host is willing to show it to us. ]
[It is hard to imagine how much investment this would require and how many experts would be needed to restore it.]
As he walked, Ye Ping'an discovered that there was someone ahead of him on the road. The sunset was just right at that moment, and the rays of light were not blocked by the trees. He looked from afar at the person on the bench, who was holding something above his head.
He didn't see it clearly, but the sharp eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room discovered it instantly.
[Mist fruit! That person is using the natural glow of the sunset. Hahaha, you are exposed! Finally, I have waited until today.]
[I'm sure this is a landscape, but someone actually said it was a program of the Space-Time Bureau. I'm so amused. How could there be mist fruit on the Ancient Blue Planet? This is a specialty of the Mist Planet.]
[Big mistake! Not only are there Mist Fruits, but that girl is holding a Galaxy Cup and is opening a planet. How come there is a Galaxy Cup? I am dying of laughter. Your extras are a mistake. How can the ancient blue planet have our current snacks? Galaxy Cups seem to have only been popular for less than a hundred years? ]
[The host came in because the scenery was not well designed, and the atmosphere created before was ruined! Alas! ]
Looking at the words on the bullet screen, Ye Pingan was confused at the moment.
What the hell? A gang? A galaxy cup, a haze fruit? These viewers are talking about the previous one... Holy shit!
That’s his roommate Zhu Jue and his girlfriend A Yan!
Ye Pingan turned around immediately, but because the young couple was facing the sunset, they did not notice Ye Pingan who was some distance behind them.
Ye Ping'an walked quickly in the direction he came from, and the Star Live broadcast room was filled with hahahahaha.
[This is so funny. I never expected it to be so exposed. Host, the extras in your crew also like the Galaxy Cup.]
[This shouldn't be an advertisement for Galaxy Cup and Mist Fruit, right? ]
Ye Ping'an's heart was pounding at this moment. What these spectators meant was that the things in Zhu Jue and A Yan's hands were snacks from Star Realm?
How is that possible?
Wait, could it be that these two are...related to the stars?
