Mu Qingyun looked at it for a long time, but finally succumbed to her appetite and slowly walked forward to take a look at the price tag.
"Give me two boxes of this."
"Okay, scan the code." The owner replied and immediately started making takoyaki for her.
Watching the shopkeeper put a lot of things into the box, Mu Qingyun opened her eyes in confusion. What were these yellow and white things?
Also, can you eat that red and white viscous stuff?
She reached out and took the box, then casually handed one to Su Qiluo.
For him?
Picking up the takoyaki, he looked at the six round little balls inside and suddenly thought of Mu Qingyun.
I wonder if Brother Mu from the Garbage Planet has ever tried this. Next time he comes with me, I'll definitely treat him to all the food on the snack street.
Mu Qingyun, who was standing to the side, frowned when she saw him staring blankly at a small dumpling. What was wrong with this person? He was holding something but not eating it, just looking at it.
Ignoring him, Mu Qingyun tied a small meatball and put it in her mouth.
Mmm, it's really delicious!
Can there really be something this delicious in the world?
She popped a few more into her mouth, pursed her lips in satisfaction, and remembered that this thing existed in the original owner's memories.
Apart from meat, other batter-like foods are made with protein powder instead of meat, while some dishes are made by machine using various ingredients.
It tastes similar to real plant vegetables, and it's inexpensive.
However, due to the high price of seasonings, these street snacks are also ridiculously expensive.
For impoverished families who can only afford protein powder, these snacks are like dishes from the imperial court in the past, something ordinary people simply cannot afford.
Even though street food is expensive, it doesn't actually make much money. Putting aside the cost issue, just considering the number of customers, it's barely enough to make ends meet.
After glancing at the other food stalls, Mu Qingyun lost her appetite and merely glanced at them indifferently.
Despite advanced technology, the ecological environment has deteriorated, leaving only the most vulnerable people struggling in the end.
If she had the chance to enter the military academy's seed bank, and with a little more effort, she could strive to possess abilities as strong as Su Qiluo's, which might alleviate the current situation of plant scarcity.
However, the root cause is the severe damage to water sources and land.
"Um, is your water purification ability very strong?" she thought to herself, turning to ask Su Qiluo.
"It is very good." Su Qiluo nodded, understanding the importance of humility and not exaggerating his own abilities.
There are always mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people; he still has room for improvement.
"Then why is the water source still so heavily polluted? Even if we find several water-elemental powerhouses to purify it together, we still can't prevent all the water sources from being polluted?"
Mu Qingyun knew that her idea was somewhat unrealistic, but this era was inherently "unrealistic"—there was no such thing as being afraid to do anything, only not daring to think about it.
"The smallest body of water, square meters, even with my own purification capabilities, I could only purify a maximum of 5,000 square meters, even if I burned my life force."
Su Qiluo was not impatient with her "brainless" question. On the contrary, he patiently explained to her: "Unless the entire water source is purified, it is impossible to have a clean water source."
"Is there no other way?" Mu Qingyun asked.
“That’s true,” Su Qiluo said, his eyes filled with coldness. “Find ten water-type ability users with high purification values, and three top-notch ice-type ability users. Use the Xuan Tie furnace as a container and the Samadhi True Fire to smelt it. That should be enough to purify the smallest body of water.”
"Since there's a way, why not give it a try?" Mu Qingyun asked, raising an eyebrow.
Looking at it this way, it's not entirely hopeless; she doesn't believe no one is tempted.
“First of all, fire-type abilities that belong to the Samadhi Fire are very rare, and few people know that fire-type abilities are divided into three categories. To be honest, I think I’ve only seen one in all these years.” Su Qiluo narrowed his eyes slightly, and he immediately got excited when this topic came up.
Mu Qingyun's flames were definitely Samadhi Fire; they were so powerful that they could never be ordinary fire.
"Secondly, black iron furnaces are not easy to find. Furthermore, where can we find so many powerful people who are willing to sacrifice themselves? Water ability users with high purity are highly sought after everywhere. They have reputation, power, and status. Why would they sacrifice themselves for this?"
"Oh," she replied casually, glancing down at her left hand. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she asked, "Would you sacrifice yourself for the people?"
Upon hearing this question, Su Qiluo fell into a rare silence.
Mu Qingyun assumed he was definitely unwilling, and felt inexplicably disappointed.
She had climbed to the throne after experiencing hardship, and she knew the suffering of the common people. Moreover, she believed that a ruler who did not care about the people was a complete tyrant.
As the first commander, Su Qiluo thought he was a person with a strong sense of righteousness, but she didn't expect him to be the kind of person who only cared about himself.
"Why do you always speak in a strange, inexplicable way?" Su Qiluo frowned. "Why do you say 'common people' instead of 'people' or 'planet'?"
"..."
Upon hearing this question, Mu Qingyun suddenly realized, "So you were thinking about this for the whole time you were silent?"
“Hmm.” Su Qiluo nodded frankly. “Otherwise, your question would be redundant. Anyone in the military academy is willing to give their life for the planet.”
He paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said, "Aside from those people who are truly of bad character, the quality and competence of the people recruited for this military academy trial have reached an all-time low."
Where is it too low?
She felt that regardless of her, Su, Xiong Ruoyou, and Fan Xuanye were all quite good, and Kazel and Diewu were also good people.
However, when she thought of Kazel, she naturally thought of Mu Xueyao and the others; when she thought of Diewu, she thought of Fan Yunche and the others.
Hmm, thinking about it that way, the large base number isn't actually that high.
"Whose fault is that? Didn't you bring these people yourselves?" Thinking about the disgusting things that happened in the first level, Mu Qingyun couldn't help but complain.
Putting everyone else aside, let's just talk about Bai Feifei. If something happens, she'll definitely be the first to run away. She might even take the opportunity to mock you halfway through her escape before continuing to run.
"The human heart is the hardest thing to see through, but in the second round, some people will be eliminated based on their character," Su Qiluo replied calmly.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyun became interested, "Aren't you afraid they'll accuse you of eliminating them without reason?"
"Heh," Su Qiluo chuckled dismissively upon hearing this, "Military academies have strict rules. They know very well what kind of people they are."
"Yes, you're right." She nodded in agreement, thinking that it made sense, since the reason for starting the live stream was probably not just for fairness.
People in military academies must have impeccable character; otherwise, if something happens, they might run away faster than civilians, and then it's hard to tell who will protect whom.
