21 Star Plane

He Shi was already not young, and she had wanted to rest on the heated brick bed for a while, but she ended up falling asleep as she lay there.

Ye Jiu had slept for an entire afternoon, and now she really wasn't sleepy. She played with the leftover egg in her hand but no longer felt the desire to eat it.

Because of the body defects caused by years of poisoning, which had finally healed, she felt somewhat unreal. Lying on the bed swaying her hands and feet, she was always afraid that all of this was a dream and that when she woke up, she would revert to her former self.

Right, her recovery was thanks to La Sike's antidote.

She had promised him that once her body recovered, she would immediately find something to exchange with him.

But now, the wound on her head pained her whenever she moved, and she couldn't move freely. Although she couldn't seek out something to exchange, it was only right for her to at least say thank you.

Ye Jiu sunk her consciousness into the Plane trading space. The trade interface resembled WeChat from her previous life. At this moment, La Sike's avatar was dim, indicating he wasn't online.

Ye Jiu first sent a message of thanks, then looked down at the egg in her hand, decisively stored it in the storage compartment, and clicked to send it.

They say that it's the thought that counts, not the gift. Although an egg wasn't worth much and was even less valuable than La Sike's precious antidote, her body hadn't fully recovered yet, and this was the only thing she could give him for now.

Ye Jiu thought that once she was fully healed, she would have to hurry up and find a way to make money. At the very least, she needed to be able to afford something of equal value to give back to La Sike.

After waiting a little while longer, La Sike still hadn't come online, so Ye Jiu went out.

Since there was no lunch to eat, the Ye Family's practice was to eat breakfast late and dinner early, trying to get everyone to hold out a bit longer.

Ye Jiu didn't go out for dinner. The scene at the breakfast table that morning had been too upsetting, and she didn't want to experience it again.

After all, she was still injured and was entitled to eat on the heated brick bed.

Dinner was nothing special, just cabbages and radishes that were still edible in the deep winter, plus a small dish of salty pickles. Each adult got two pieces of cornbread, while the children all uniformly got one.

Ye Jiu ate alone, and with He Shi running the house, her bowl of porridge was a bit thicker. As for the others, their porridge was so thin it could probably reflect a mirror.

After dinner, Ye Jiu still lay on the heated brick bed. He Shi told her not to sleep yet, but Ye Jiu didn't know what she meant by that.

However, she wasn't sleepy at the moment anyway.

The waiting time was boring, so Ye Jiu thought about it, and the Plane trade interface appeared in her mind.

Looking at the messages behind La Sike's avatar, there were as many as a dozen.

Ye Jiu was surprised. La Sike didn't seem to be the type of person who would ramble on, right?

She opened the messages and read through them, only then discovering that he had sent so many because of the egg she had sent him.

The Plane that La Sike was from was a Star Plane with highly developed technology, yet Ye Jiu had never imagined that every person there relied on Nutrient Solution to supplement their nutrition.

It wasn't because they didn't enjoy eating food, but rather because the advancement in technology had led to all animals mutating, with nearly all of them evolving into monsters. The meat had a sour and bitter texture and contained lethal poison.

As for plants, they had evolved into mutated plants with offensive capabilities. Only a very few were still edible, and their value went without saying; they simply weren't something ordinary people could afford.
