Right now, forget about live chickens inside the city, you can’t even buy a whole frozen one.
The only at for sale is fish, and having fish at all is already pretty good. It took several days to completely clear the Insect n out of the sea.
If it weren’t for those ocean giants being able to wrestle with the Insect n for a while, there probably wouldn’t be many fish left either.
"You guys ca this ti to rebuild the chanical Planet, right?"
Ai Shengping didn’t mind telling Su Xiaocai, "We were invited to co teach so of the contestants, and also to build a satellite base in orbit over Blue Star."
"Not to build a new chanical Planet? Didn’t Admiral Bai say you were still drawing starship blueprints?"
"It’s not like I’m the only one working on those blueprints. I can spare so ti to discuss them online with the others. But the front line here is more urgent. The satellite base is basically the rear of the battlefront. You know the geography here—food supply is a bit tricky."
Blue Star can develop crop farming and animal husbandry.
The construction of the satellite base, including the large ring-shaped space shuttle, that’s the real key to free trade.
After all, only large warships can do independent jumps; other vessels don’t et the requirents.
There’s a loophole in the Space Jump points: if soone knows the anchor point, they can leap across star systems.
The Empire has always wanted to co to the border, so the ring-shaped space shuttle usually keeps moving.
The anchor point has to be linked through software to provide coordinates for the ships.
Otherwise it’s entirely possible the Empire’s people could just shuttle over directly.
Once, an imperial noble even bowed his head and pleaded with our side, saying that as long as we gave them a small place, they were willing to defect with loads of resources.
The upper echelons of the Ten Stars Republic didn’t believe a word of it. The Empire only grew to its current size through pure aggression and war.
Now they’re being attacked by Insect n, and suddenly they want to find a safe place to hide.
When it cos to peace and comfort in the rear, what country can compare to here?
Why does the Empire have so many spies lurking in the Ten Stars System? Because they’re still coveting it, hoping to co over in a pack.
Anyway, the way the Empire plays it, once they set their eyes on sothing, they just assu it’s theirs. If you don’t give it to them, they want it even more.
That’s exactly why the Ten Stars System is so resistant to contact with the Empire.
"When the ti cos, we might need you, Teacher Su, to look after us a bit." Ai Shengping saying this out loud ant the higher-ups hoped Su Xiaocai would get involved.
Su Xiaocai accepted the sentint. "Alright. If you have questions and I can answer them, just co ask ."
"Then... can I sign up for your classes?"
"What are you signing up for? Once you digest the courses you’re already learning, you’ll naturally understand. Total waste of money."
"That’s not necessarily true. Maybe I’ll gain so new insights from your course."
"If I charge you, that’d be treating you like an outsider." Su Xiaocai’s eyes rolled as she thought of sothing. "I heard you all have to take on apprentices. When the ti cos, take these two from my team. Everything else is negotiable."
Ai Shengping’s knowledge was more than enough to guide Sasha and Leilei.
With him leading them, there was no need to worry about the two of them getting bullied.
Ai Shengping knew Feng Wansha and Li Leilei.
Feng Wansha was fine; Ai Shengping felt Li Leilei’s temperant was still a bit lacking. Even so, Ai Shengping—who was always extrely strict with apprentices—smiled and agreed.
Su Xiaocai didn’t hesitate to let him attend her class for free.
If she could get more chickens, ducks, and geese out of it, she’d get as many as possible. She loved eating them.
The chickens were still alive, and Su Xiaocai ordered Xiao Wanzi to help her build a chicken coop.
The leopard-print cat was a feral.
Without a coop, these chickens would probably end up as its dinner.
On the other side, the contestants who wanted to attend classes were on the software picking professors. Once they picked, it would then be the professor’s turn to pick them.
If soone didn’t get chosen, they either quit, or continued regular training. There was no third option.
Feng Wansha and Li Leilei smoothly ended up following Ai Shengping, and were the only two apprentices he took.
If there were more, Ai Shengping wouldn’t be able to teach them all. He was already bringing two assistants, both graduate students who also needed guidance.
...
Not long after, the Blue Star Reboot Plan began. Vice Admiral Bai led a group into outer space to slay Insect n. Over a hundred thousand contestants ford a new army and headed to the ruined chanical Planet, killing Insect n every day.
Whenever they ca across intact machinery or building materials, they’d drag them back to Blue Star, refurbish, and reuse them.
While the Vegetable Farrs ran around outside, Su Xiaocai diligently planted on Blue Star, even freer than she had been on Su’s Planet.
She discovered that Blue Star had a lot of thunderstorms, which made it very suitable for testing Blue Gold Healing Mushroom cultivation.
She piloted the hoe cha into the forest to look for decayed wood, hauled it back to the fields, and planted nearby.
She watered the rotten wood, then sared spores over it.
While she was working hard, a native of Blue Star passed by. The person was very good-looking—young and vibrant in a way that really stood out.
