Noon is approaching.
Many female insects throw the packaging of energy supplements into the trash can after consuming them.
There are many types of energy supplements, the cheapest of which costs 30 credits.
Han Ling simply couldn't afford it, so she had to rummage through the trash.
Fortunately, he didn't feel guilty about rummaging through the trash cans, since nobody knew him.
I went downstairs and left the small hotel.
Han Ling arrived at the main street outside the city once again.
He glanced in the direction of the city center, a hint of longing in his eyes.
Central City is the future metropolis in Han Ling's mind.
The city center is more bustling and vibrant during the day than at night.
Skyscrapers rise from the ground, reaching into the clouds.
Given the Zerg's technology, building a megacity on a junk planet wouldn't be difficult.
But megacities only exist in central cities.
Because junk planets have limited resources.
Overexploitation is not worthwhile.
The rest of the planet consists of factories, helipads, transport terminals, or low-rise housing, resembling ruins.
Although the street where the small hotel is located is very close to the city center.
But it's still not very clean.
The factory's chimneys are emitting exhaust fumes.
Mixed with rainwater, the roads have become filthy over the years.
There were many female insects coming and going on the street.
Han Ling rubbed her nose.
He seemed to be able to smell the female insect's scent.
It's strong like alcohol, with wispy smoke, cola, sparkling water, and lemon candy.
A variety of flavors assaulted Han Ling's mind.
Looking around, he suddenly realized that these huge creatures that had previously frightened him were now somewhat attractive to him.
Female insects have a low body fat percentage. The female insects that walk around on the street are tall and have a good figure, with broad shoulders, a thin waist, long legs, bulging pectoral muscles, and obvious abdominal muscles.
Han Ling, standing at 185cm tall and with a slender figure, is considered short here, making her one of the F-grade females with the worst physique.
Han Ling sniffed, thinking that once she made money, she would definitely buy a pheromone-suppressing collar first.
The female insect had a greater impact on him than he had imagined.
Following the dirty, damp streets, I arrived at the sticky, filthy garbage bins.
Han Ling stood next to a trash can and rummaged through it with her hand.
"This is good stuff."
His eyes suddenly lit up.
The word 5000 is written on the packaging of an energy supplement.
This is an energy supplement worth 5000 credits!
This is truly a high-end product.
Han Ling picked up the packaging bag and saw that the energy supplement still had a little liquid in it.
Without hesitation, he sucked the last bit of the sauce into his mouth.
Smacking his lips, Han Ling nodded. Not bad, not bad, high-end goods are indeed different.
He felt his mind clear up a bit, and the feeling of fullness immediately returned.
Now he'll be carrying bags and unloading goods much faster than yesterday.
Thinking about work, Han Ling picked up his personal computer, somewhat reluctant to look at the data of his novel.
It is said that one feels timid when nearing home, and Han Ling also feels this way when writing novels.
He was afraid that his book wouldn't be popular and that no one would read it.
From showering and cleaning in the morning until noon when I go out to collect trash and eat.
He kept stalling for time.
Writing a book is like opening a blind box; some become huge hits, while others flop.
If he doesn't become popular, he might have to do manual labor like carrying bags, which would be too cruel for him.
Carrying bags is paid by piecework.
A female insect can earn 300 credits a day by working normally.
Han Ling works a normal job and can earn 30 credits a day, but she's still exhausted.
"Sigh, we still have to face it eventually, but it doesn't matter. At worst, we'll just have to carry bags and unload goods again."
Han Ling smiled and comforted herself with a muttered prayer.
[Host, please do not ignore the effects of radiation. Your cancer will flare up in 36 days.]
The system's words froze Han Ling's smile on his face.
This is so ridiculous!
Are you trying to kill the insects?!
And how much does one energy stone cost again?
One unit costs 100,000 credits!
Han Ling roared inwardly. He threw away the packaging of the energy supplement in his hand, then opened his personal computer and opened his literature column.

Han Ling was slightly disappointed when she saw the data.
The interstellar Zerg are in the hundreds of billions.
Only 376 insects have read his book.
This ratio, when converted to Earth's standards, is close to 0 when rounded up.
[Host, would you like the system to create a novel cover for you? A good novel cover will help you attract readers.]
Han Ling was slightly taken aback when he heard the system's words:
"You can create covers? Then how do you transfer them to the quantum computer? Aren't you inside my head?"
I can connect to your personal computer and upload the images to it.
Han Ling was overjoyed:
"Okay, let me describe to you what kind of picture you need."
Han Ling stood next to the trash can and communicated with the system for ten minutes.
A moment later, a realistic novel cover appeared on his personal computer.
The background image on the cover is a bed.
The picture shows a male insect with a body shape similar to Han Ling lying down.
The male insect's tail, covered in carapace and scales, hooks protruded from its pillow.
A female insect, covered in filth, stares blankly into the sky.
It seems that the novel's cover was captured by a camera as a post-event scene.
The female insect's body shape is somewhat similar to that of Roderick, the female insect from last night.
The male insect's body shape was very similar to Han Ling's own.
The faces of the two insects were, in Han Ling's memory, beautified versions of the faces of top stars on Earth.
There are too many amazing things about the pictures to describe them all.
It takes a long time to look closely at a photo and see all the highlights.
Below the image are the book title and author's name.
The innocent landlord meets the tenant.
Author: Swallowing Wind and Kissing Rain
Seeing the finished product photos, Han Ling nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. You have a lot of talent. You captured the essence I described."
Han Ling uploaded the novel cover with satisfaction, then turned and went home.
He planned to return to the small hotel and carefully read the reviews; his book had 29 reviews, and perhaps some readers had offered excellent suggestions.
Then, striking while the iron was hot, he wrote another chapter and started charging for it.
If there aren't many viewers, he might have to go to the freight distribution center that night to find another odd job.
I swiped the room card to open the door.
Han Ling stood there, stunned.
Why is that female soldier back again?
In the small room, Roderick, a female soldier, was squatting in the corner, holding a cigarette in her hand, looking somewhat worried.
He heard a sound and casually looked up.
The moment he saw Han Ling, his nerves tensed up instantly.
Male?
Only male insects have such fair skin and such clear eyes, making them so endearing.
He twitched his fingers slightly, about to make a move, when he heard the male insect say something.
Why are you back?
Roderick lowered his fingers; he remembered the voice—it was that submissive from last night.
I never expected that the sub-female who was so dark yesterday would look so beautiful after washing up.
It's a pity it's not a male.
