The daily life of opening a dessert shop in the galaxy

Wen Xun poked her head out of the cabin.

The oncoming wind made her eat a mouthful of sand.

"Bah!"

Wen Xun immediately shrank back and tightened her scarf.

In the 1000th year of humanity entering the Star System Civilization, technology was flourishing. They had good relations with other civilizations and races in the Star System. All civilizations cooperated for a win-win situation and signed the famous "Millennium Agreement."

This treaty maintained the peace between the various races and civilizations in the galaxy. In the process of communication between civilizations, human technology developed rapidly. Under the management of the Federation, everything seemed to be developing in a good way.

Of course, this had nothing to do with Wen Xun.

Wen Xun was currently carrying a cloth bag that only contained a few pieces of clothes, standing on the yellow soil of Planet M24.

In front of her was the famous galactic garbage dump-Treasure Island.

The yellow sand that was stirred up by the wind made her unable to open her eyes. She only felt the guard behind her push her and she staggered."Go in."

Wen Xun turned around and saw two guards standing behind her. They had no intention of going forward at all. The garbage mountain in front of them made them not want to take another step forward.

She tightened her grip on the cloth bag and pulled up the scarf around her neck. The sand that the wind carried made her delicate and fair face hurt.

The wind was too strong and Wen Xun stumbled into the main entrance of Treasure Island. The lazy guard at the door was smoking with his legs crossed. He glanced at her lazily and opened the door to a slit that was as wide as a person. He waved his hand and signaled Wen Xun to come in.

Wen Xun looked back again and realized that the two guards had long disappeared. She was not worried that she would run away. After all, on M24, if there were no starships, she would only be faced with endless yellow sand. Running would be a dead end for her.

"Yo, there's a newcomer again. There are quite a lot of newcomers recently…Hehehe…You're quite handsome, little girl."

A hoarse and strange voice rang out, scaring Wen Xun into jumping away in a hurry. She looked closely and saw an old man squatting in the corner of the wall beside the gate post, holding a piece of dry bread in his hand. His wrinkled face was also stained with some bread crumbs.

Seeing Wen Xun looking at him, the old man laughed even more strangely. His hoarse voice sounded like a bellow, and he coughed from time to time."Hurry up and report. It's over there, hahahaha…" As he spoke, his dry and rough finger pointed at a building not far away.

"You talk too much!" The guard sitting inside kicked the door and cursed.

Wen Xun retracted her gaze and did not dare to look at him again. She hugged the cloth bag in her arms and walked in the direction the old man pointed out with her head buried in the wind.

The cloth bag in her arms was all she had. Wen Xun's fingers that were holding the cloth bag trembled slightly. She did not even realize what she had experienced.

Who would have thought that the daughter of the finance minister, who was wearing an evening gown to tear apart a scumbag for her sisters, would be reduced to such a state?

……

Early morning.

She was sleeping soundly with a pillow in her arms. Before the AI butler could wake her up, Wen Xun was woken up by an earth-shattering bang on the door. Then, a group of people broke into her villa and rummaged through her house.

"What are you doing!" Wen Xun did not have time to dress up. She ran downstairs in her slippers and questioned loudly,"Be careful, or I'll sue you for trespassing!"

"Private residence?" The leading young officer sneered,"This place is now under the jurisdiction of the Federation. I have the authority to deal with anything here. As for you…" The officer sized up Wen Xun, who was still in her pajamas, and snorted,"Wen Ziqing's daughter, Wen Xun?"

"You know who I am and you still dare to be so arrogant?!" After saying that, he raised his wrist and prepared to use the AI to call the police.

She did not expect that just as she raised her hand, she would be surrounded by a few people. Her hand was cut behind her back and she cried out in pain.

"Wen Xun." The officer slowly stepped forward, his blue eyes filled with mockery. He came out with a piece of paper in his hand."Wen Ziqing violated the Millennium Contract and had an affair with Interstellar Pirates. He is now under arrest for treason. All his assets will be confiscated and his political rights will be revoked for life. Wen Yunnian was still young and had nothing to do with Wen Ziqing's case, so he was sent to planet M24 for three years of labor reform."

Wen Xun froze on the spot. She could not believe what she had just heard. She stammered,"No, that's impossible. How could my father betray the country? How could he have an affair with pirates?!"

"Take him away." The officer seemed to be tired of hearing such words. He waved his hand in frustration and turned to admire the blooming flowers in the garden. He mocked,"Tsk, tsk. Even the flowers in rich families are different from those outside." Then, his face turned cold and he called out to his subordinates,"Go, pull out these flowers for me. I suspect that Wen Ziqing has hidden some stolen money in the garden!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

Along the way, all sorts of people could be seen everywhere. They were all covered in dirt and carrying a basket on their backs as they picked through the trash. When they saw Wen Xun, they secretly whispered to each other, especially a group of men. They gathered together and pointed at Wen Xun, occasionally letting out wretched laughter.

Wen Xun tried her best to ignore everything around her. Gritting her teeth, she walked into the small building and pushed open the door with great effort. She saw a refined man in a white shirt and glasses sitting at the corner of the hall and video-calling someone. When he saw Wen Xun, he hurriedly hung up the video call and walked forward."Wen Xun?"

"Ah, yes, hello."

The man smiled and waved his hand."You don't have to be so polite. I'm the department head of Treasure Island. My name is Gauss. Everyone calls me Old Gao." He then asked her to follow him."Let's go. I'll bring you to see the director."

"Alright." Wen Xun looked around and felt that the entire hall was not as shabby as she had imagined. Although it looked a little old, at least it was quite clean.

Gauss brought Wen Xun all the way to the third floor."You're already the second person to come this month. There have been quite a number of people in the past few months."

Wen Xun only laughed and laughed, so embarrassed that she did not know what to reply.

Gauss didn't care. He just whispered to her before he opened the door. He said,"The director loves money. If you have anything good, don't hide it. Maybe you can change to a better place." Without waiting for Wen Xun's response, he pushed open the door to the director's office.

As soon as she entered the room, Wen Xun was blinded by the luxurious decor. The entire room was filled with the aura of a tycoon.

The man sitting behind the desk was drinking wine with his round belly. When he saw someone coming, he quickly put on the presbyopic glasses hanging around his neck and narrowed his already fat eyes. When he saw the person coming, he shook the fat on his face and smiled."Yo, Wen Xun, right?"

"Yes." Wen Xun walked forward and saw the name tag on the desk, which was glowing with golden light. The name tag had the words "Jin Decai" written on it.

To be honest, even if it was the dog at home, Wen Xun would not have given it such an old-fashioned name.

Jin Decai secretly opened the document Gauss gave him and looked at it for a while. Then, he raised his head and looked at Wen Xun from head to toe. He coughed and said seriously,"Well, Miss Zhou, we're very sorry about your father. It's just three years. We won't treat you badly. Ah, as long as you work hard and meet the standard on time every week, our treatment here is still very good! How about this? I'll get Old Gao to show you around the six-person room you want to stay in. If you have any requests, feel free to ask. We'll try our best to satisfy them."

A six-person room? Wen Xun's eyes widened as she remembered what Gauss had said to her before she entered the room.

"No, I want to stay in a single room." Wen Xun said decisively.

Jin Decai's small eyes gleamed. He chuckled, rubbed his hands, and said with a troubled look,"Oh, Miss Zhou, your problem can be solved, but…" Jin Decai rubbed his chubby thumb and forefinger together, as if he was implying something."If you don't order anything, I might not be able to do this…"

Wen Xun knew what he meant. She frowned and asked,"How much do you want?"

Jin Decai's face lit up as he walked forward and patted her shoulder."Not much. It's something that can be solved with about 2,000 star coins."

Wen Xun had been sent here directly from her home. Not to mention that she had no money left on her, even if she had a place to withdraw money, her account should have been frozen. She pursed her lips and was silent for a moment."But I can't take out so much money now."

"That's easy." Jin Decai clapped his hands and said earnestly,"You can leave those things with me as collateral. I'll lend you the money first. When you get out, you can redeem the things with the money!"

Seeing Wen Xun frowning as if she was weighing the credibility of his words, Jin Decai had no choice but to add fuel to the fire."It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. You can go to the dormitory area with Old Gao first. Our living environment is still very good. Each dormitory has its own bathroom!"

These words eventually became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Wen Xun gritted her teeth and pulled out a gem from her collar."Is this okay?"

The gemstone in Wen Xun's hand was transparent and sparkling, reflecting a bluish-green light under the light.

How could Jin Decai not know what this was? This was Aidar ore, one of the rarest and most expensive gemstones in the entire galaxy. Not only was the piece in Wen Xun's hand huge, but its purity was also so high. Jin Decai's eyes were fixed on it as he nodded repeatedly."Of course, of course."

"Please take good care of it. This is the only thing my mother left me." Wen Xun unwillingly placed the gemstone that she had worn for nearly 30 years in Jin Decai's palm,"Please don't sell it. I will definitely come and redeem it."

"Of course. I'll definitely take good care of it. Don't worry about that." Jin Decai patted his chest and promised.

With the item in hand, Jin Decai naturally wouldn't let Wen Xun stay any longer. He quickly called out to Gauss and pretended to arrange the best single room for Miss Zhou.

As soon as Gauss left with Wen Xun, Jin Decai returned to the table with the gemstone in his hands. He looked at it lovingly, ready to take a 360-degree scan of the gemstone with his computer as his treasure in the black market.

Just as Jin Decai was fiddling with the AI, the door opened.

A tall man walked out of the room. His features were deep and his eyebrows were handsome. He had the face of a noble son, especially his waist-long black hair.

Looking at Jin Decai's face full of teeth, the man chuckled and sat down on the sofa. He poured himself a cup of tea with familiarity."Looks like I cheated you again."

"Sigh, how can this be called a scam? This is a mortgage, a mortgage." Jin Decai laughed and clicked his tongue."You really don't have to say. The Federation's Finance Minister's family is really rich. Such a huge piece of Alda ore, tsk, this must be worth a million star coins."

The man's hand that was holding the cup paused slightly when he heard that. He frowned slightly."The Chancellor of the Exchanges? Wen Ziqing?"

"Yes, I am." Jin Decai carefully placed the gemstone on the flannelette on the table. Then, he stood up and walked to the coffee table to sit down."You might not know yet, but that guy's house was raided! The Federation acted very quickly this time without any news. I also suddenly received an order in the morning to send Wen Ziqing's daughter to work here. Sigh, this tree attracts the wind. I wonder who Wen Ziqing has offended. Tsk, tsk, tsk."

The man didn't say much. He finished the tea in his cup, stood up, and adjusted his leather jacket."I'll be leaving first. I'll open the shop later."

Jin Decai didn't mind. He waved his hand."Only you can keep your shop open in such a small place."

M24 used to be one of the important mines for mining ores, but after hundreds of years, the planet's resources had long been exhausted. Now, only hurricanes and endless deserts were left. However, Planet M24's position on the star map was extremely ingenious. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the Federation did not give up on this planet. It was only listed as one of the asteroids that could be developed for military purposes. However, as the interstellar situation eased, the Federation seemed to have given up on the military transformation of Planet M24 and designated it as a military waste disposal station, specifically used to destroy and recover the scrapped weapons of the military.

The man chuckled and didn't reply. He turned around and walked to his desk. He picked up the gemstone and put it in his pocket."Let's go."

"Hey hey hey!!!!" Jin Decai was so shocked that he jumped up. The fat on his body shook with his movements."Xu Mingli! You can take anything from me, but I…I just took it!"

"Don't worry." The man turned around and his thin lips twitched. His long and narrow phoenix eyes looked like a fox when he smiled."Lend it to me for a few days and I'll return it to you."

Jin Decai sat down dejectedly. How could he believe Xu Mingli's words? He shook his head weakly, but he still refused to give up."It's really just a few days. You have to return it to me."

Of course, Xu Mingli did not respond to him. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and turned to leave.

……

Perhaps because it was working hours, there was no one in the dormitory area. Only Gauss and Wen Xun's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

After passing through the office building and going around a garbage mountain, the view in front of them was finally clear. The huge buildings on Treasure Island were blocked by the small mountain of military waste fertilizer. Coupled with the yellow sand that filled the sky, visibility was extremely low. From afar, it was really impossible to know that there was such a large facility inside.

Gauss explained the situation to Wen Xun as they walked."We have a target here every week. As long as we can complete it, there won't be any major problems. There are no strict requirements on the working hours and working methods." He pointed in the direction of the gate."And you have three hours of free time every day. You can go out to the town and take a look. However, you must return to the dormitory before twelve o'clock every day."

Looking at the buildings hidden in the sandstorm, Wen Xun's lips twitched. That's right, if they managed to escape, they might even die.

Gauss seemed to have guessed what Wen Xun was thinking and chuckled."We just passed by your canteen. When we get back to your dormitory, I'll find a guide for you to familiarize yourself with the rules and daily requirements here." He then pushed open the door to the dormitory area and turned to look at Wen Xun."This is the dormitory area."

The rusty old iron door was pushed open, making a sharp squeak.

Wen Xun took a deep breath and stepped forward, ignoring the probing gazes around her.

Welcome to Treasure Island.
