Chapter Twenty-Seven: Delicate and Incapable of Taking Care of Himself



Life on the island went on like this. Mu Qingyun's group ate and drank well, and everyone had rosy complexions and was full of energy. If you didn't know better, you would think they were on vacation.

But compared to them, the lives of other people are very different.

Due to the lack of protein powder and nutritional supplements, many people can only survive by catching mutant rabbits, fishing in the sea, and eating raw meat.

The scarcity of water forces most people to rely on hunting animals and exchanging them with water-powered individuals for some drinkable water, or to steal supplies from others to barely survive.

"Luckily we have Brother Mu, otherwise we would only be able to eat raw meat and exchange water with water-type abilities." Xiong Ruoyou gently placed a large bucket of seawater on the ground.

“But this can’t go on.” Su pressed her stomach and frowned. “I’ve finished my vitamin pills. If this continues, my body will definitely not be able to take it.”

Vitamin tablets?

Mu Qingyun looked up at them. Because nothing grows on the planet and fruits and vegetables are extremely scarce resources, the people here have developed a vitamin tablet that can supplement the various vitamins that the human body lacks.

Well, although she doesn't quite understand what vitamins are, they sound pretty important.

"You know you'll be deficient in vitamins, why didn't you bring more?" Mu Qingyun was very puzzled. "Is it also because the military academy is controlling things and doesn't allow you to bring more?"

"No, that's not it. Military academy is strict, but not inhuman." Su frowned. His storage bag was made by the doctor. The doctor probably thought he wouldn't stay here for too long, so he didn't bring him many vitamin pills.

"What's going on? None of the three of you remembered to bring extra?" Mu Qingyun raised an eyebrow, her gaze sweeping over the three of them one by one.

Su met her gaze calmly, Fan Xuanye nodded indifferently, and Xiong Ruoyou lowered her head awkwardly.

Mu Qingyun: ...Okay, what kind of mess has she gotten herself into?

[I came from someone else's livestream. I just saw them munching on vitamin pills, haha, the contrast is just too obvious.]

[The amount of useless tacit understanding has increased again.]

This family of four is absolutely hilarious!

[No way, why is Mu Qingyun acting like it's all perfectly normal, like he brought a ton of vitamin pills!]

[That's right, vitamin pills are the cheapest option; the planet distributes them to everyone every year, so you don't even need to buy them.]

Is it possible that they, on that garbage planet, can't afford vitamin pills?

[Then they could never have survived until now; their bodies simply couldn't hold up without vitamins.]

[Wow, this is an unsolved mystery. Are there any friends from the garbage planet watching the live stream who can explain it to us?]

[Upstairs, how could people from that garbage planet connect to our network? Don't forget we have a 32G network; with their crappy configuration, they couldn't even get in.]

"Are there any other ways to supplement vitamins?" Mu Qingyun looked at the flame that rose and fell in her right hand with boredom, and childishly played with her superpower.

"Eat fruits and vegetables," Fan Xuanye said calmly.

“But fruits and vegetables are no longer allowed to be sold. Besides, even if they could be sold, we couldn’t buy them now.” Xiong Ruoyou frowned with a distressed expression and sighed helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun withdrew her fire-based powers, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Can lemons supplement vitamins?"

"Lemon?" The three of them looked up in confusion at the same time.

"What is a lemon fruit?" Xiong Ruoyou stared at her blankly, clearly having never heard of it before.

Looking at the three people with their strikingly similar, almost idiotic expressions, Mu Qingyun sighed helplessly, inwardly criticizing their lack of education.

“It’s a lemon. Do you know what a lemon is?” In case they didn’t know, Mu Qingyun gestured with her hand. “It’s small, flat and round, yellow, and sour.”

"I know!" After hearing her description, Xiong Ruoyou immediately raised her hand excitedly, "Lemons on a lemon tree, you and me under the lemon tree, it's a metaphor for envying and being jealous of a loving couple!"

Mu Qingyun: ……

What utter nonsense!

I know that. Back when fruit was still legal to be sold, I once spent a lot of money to buy one.

What does it taste like? What does it taste like? Is it the kind that's described in the book as unbearably sour?

It's not so sour it's almost unbearable; it just tastes sweet and sour.

Sigh, nowadays vegetables and fruits are all grown in nutrient solutions, which is definitely incomparable to the kind that grow naturally in the past.

"Answer my question." Mu Qingyun said calmly after a moment of silence.

"Yes, lemons can replenish vitamin C, and vitamin C is very important for the human body," Su looked up at her and answered softly.

Vitamin C?

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes. The original owner was a complete illiterate person who had not received any education and had no knowledge of this matter in his memory.

However, it's enough to know that lemons can provide vitamins.

Mu Qingyun turned to look at Su, her brows furrowing instinctively. This person was far too wary. How could she possibly fool him and get the lemons for them to eat?

This is a problem.

...

"Su, get up."

Early in the morning, Mu Qingyun glanced at Xiong Ruoyou and Fan Xuanye, who were still sleeping, lowered her voice, and gave Su a hard shove.

"Hmm," Su responded listlessly, her eyes still closed, showing no intention of opening them.

After Mu Qingyun said he would teach him close combat that day, he didn't mention it again for several days. He thought that this person was just talking, but he didn't expect that he would disturb his dream so early this morning.

"Get up quickly!"

Seeing that Su was about to fall asleep again with her eyes closed, Mu Qingyun grabbed Su by the neck and lifted her up abruptly!

Holy crap!

Feeling like her fate was being held by the throat, Su Yi shuddered and instinctively snapped, "Are you out of your mind? Put me down right now!"

"What did you say?"

A clear yet familiar voice rang in his ears. Su turned his head and saw Mu Qingyun with a cold expression. He finally realized where he was and almost instantly woke up.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I... I was just dreaming. I dreamt that my abilities were comparable to the First Commander, so, I'm sorry." Saying words that fit her current persona, Su felt a surge of frustration.

If I had known, I wouldn't have used this setup in the first place. Why pretend to be a coward? Now he looks like a weak, helpless old man or a disabled person.

[Hahaha, what did I just hear? Comparable to the First Commander? This weakling is dreaming way too much!]

[It seems our First Commander is popular with both men and women. Men want to be him, and women want to have him. Hahaha, I really want to know who will win him over in the future!]
