The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Bento Box

So, under the gaze of Little Golden Dragon, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan, Ji You, who had been pondering for a moment, suddenly looked up and said calmly, ”Knock.”

After saying this,

she raised her hand and knocked on the door three times according to the instructions.

”Creak—”

The door was pushed open from the outside, and the first thing that came into view was a path, a path less than 30 centimeters in diameter. Ji You, with Little Golden Dragon, could pass through unobstructed, but Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan had to turn sideways to pass—

Soon.

The group arrived in front of the eighth door and stopped.

Ji You looked up at this door, it was an ordinary aluminum alloy door with two handles. In the keyhole in the middle, a metal key was inserted, and a notice hung on the door:

[Use the key to open the door.]

Instinctively, Ji You, Chu Jiaojiao, Shen Changqing, and Sheng Qingyan looked at each other.

second.

seconds.

seconds.

...

Ji You carefully sensed, finding that the strange wave attracting her was still very strong, and she was sure that this thing was not far behind this door.

Hmm?

This wave, is it a mental attraction, or an aura, or?

Ji You couldn’t figure it out. She looked at Chu Jiaojiao and the others and asked, ”Do you feel a strange attraction? Or anything unusual with your body?”

Shen Changqing, Chu Jiaojiao, and Sheng Qingyan paused for a moment of silence, then shook their heads together, saying, ”No.”

Ji You: ”???”

Shen Changqing said softly, ”I don’t feel anything, the only feeling is being a bit hungry.”

They had been underground for over ten hours, and none of them had time to eat. It wasn’t that there was no food, but they simply didn’t have time to eat. It wasn’t until Ji You asked if anything was unusual with their bodies that Shen Changqing and the others remembered they were hungry.

After Shen Changqing spoke, Chu Jiaojiao also covered her stomach, saying, ”I... I’m a bit thirsty.”

Sheng Qingyan pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved, ”I’m both hungry and thirsty...”

”Ahem...” Ji You laughed dryly and said, ”Aha... I forgot everyone was hungry, I’m also very hungry.” Truly, mentioning it made her realize her stomach was growling...

Ji You rubbed her stomach and said, ”While we’re at it, shall we grab something to eat and fill our stomachs?”

Shen Changqing nodded, ”Yes.”

Sheng Qingyan said, ”We should have eaten something earlier.”

Chu Jiaojiao slapped her forehead, saying, ”Oh no, I only brought nutrient solution. The other food and drinks are on the spaceship.” Because the space in the Space Button was small, and Chu Jiaojiao allocated most of the space for weapons and equipment, she only kept 500 sticks of nutrient solution, three a day, which was over a hundred days’ worth of food.

Ji You laughed at this and said, ”No worries, I brought something tasty.”

Chu Jiaojiao’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Ji You showed a sly smile and said, ”You just need to pay for it.”

Chu Jiaojiao: ”...”

Staring at Ji You’s face, Chu Jiaojiao clutched her chest and moved closer, ”Oh no, Ji You’s sly look is also very attractive. It’s just credit points, right? Just money, right?”

”I’ll buy it!”

Shen Changqing and Sheng Qingyan, witnessing Chu Jiaojiao’s bottomless devotion to beauty once more, were used to it. They didn’t even lift an eyelid and didn’t want to look over. Shen Changqing took out two lunch boxes, one black and one pink.

Shen Changqing handed the pink lunch box to Sheng Qingyan and then reached out to open the black lunch box. Inside was a meal containing two meats, two vegetables, rice, and a thick soup. The two meat dishes were fried pork chop and fried fresh shrimp, and the vegetable dishes were stir-fried spinach and romaine lettuce, with a cream mushroom soup as the soup...

After receiving his pink lunch box, Sheng Qingyan didn’t hurry to open it.

That pink lunch box, not only was the lunch box pink, but it also came with pink chopsticks, a pink spoon, a pink cup... paired with Sheng Qingyan’s beautiful, exquisite, unmatched face...

To be honest, there was no sense of discord with that pink lunch box.

Ji You remembered that she previously crafted some pink Companion Stone earrings, and Sheng Qingyan snatched one. He wore his pink earrings, flaunting them in front of her daily with particular pride...

This guy, whether wearing pink or any other color of clothing and accessories, is completely a walking advertisement board.

Whatever Ji You was murmuring in her heart, Sheng Qingyan paid it no mind, as he was genuinely hungry and thirsty. After opening his small pink lunch box, it contained two meals and two soups similar to Shen Changqing’s, but while Shen Changqing only had mineral water, Sheng Qingyan’s came with a cup of fruit juice, which he gulped down in one go.

Ji You opened her mouth: ”...You two, are truly local tycoons.”

This lunch box is a product of the Alliance’s second-largest food company—Meiwei Jia. Meiwei Jia and Huatai used to be big companies producing nutrient solutions. However, after Huatai monopolized the low-end nutrient solution market, Meiwei Jia shifted to developing high-end food, medium and advanced nutrient solutions, Natural Nutrients... and, like the lunch boxes Sheng Qingyan and Shen Changqing have now, those are also Meiwei Jia’s products.

This kind of food is entirely made from natural food, without a trace of artificial synthetic food, making the lunch box extremely expensive, only affordable for the wealthy. When Ji You was still on the garbage planet, she checked on Star Network and knew that Shen Changqing’s meal with two meats, two vegetables, and one soup was priced at 10,000 credit points!

Sheng Qingyan’s, with an additional cup of juice, was priced at 11,000 credit points!

In short—

One word: Expensive!

Countless times, day and night, every day when it was mealtime, Ji You would set the table, lay a tablecloth, insert a plastic rose, and then open the Light Computer while chewing on nutrient solution as she watched Meiwei Jia’s lunch on the holographic screen.

At that time, Ji You’s wish was to have the luxury just once to buy a lunchbox from Meiwei Jia and gobble it down completely!

Ahem...

Now, as someone who earns gold daily and can casually discard a Soul Device, Ji You couldn’t help but gulp as she stared at Shen Changqing and Sheng Qingyan’s lunchboxes.

Beside her, Chu Jiaojiao also swallowed her saliva and said, ”Can’t you two eat elsewhere instead of blocking us?”

The nutrient solution in her hand suddenly felt tasteless.

Sheng Qingyan pouted and said, ”You can pretend you don’t see us...”

After saying this, he continued to savor his ribs happily.

Shen Changqing looked at the nutrient solution in Chu Jiaojiao’s hand and at Ji You standing with hands behind her back, seemingly still, but could possibly spring to grab food. Unknowingly, he sped up his eating...

Especially the fried pork chop and fried fresh shrimp. Shen Changqing first hurriedly consumed the two meat dishes without touching the vegetables and soup. After finishing, he felt slightly relieved and then slowly ate the vegetables...

At this moment—
