Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

The sight before them was truly an eye-opener for Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang.

The building, constructed of metal and glass, gleamed with a cold light under the starlight.

Behind the building, a huge planet could be seen. The planet was so magnificent and dazzling that Lin Xiaoqian's megalophobia almost kicked in, and she quickly looked away.

In another direction, massive space stations and ring-shaped space cities surround the planet beneath their feet, like steel guardians protecting it.

Inside the space station, various spacecraft frequently enter and exit, busy yet orderly, and a group of mechs fly in formation.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang looked up at the magnificent scene, their hearts filled with awe.

Jiang Shuang couldn't help but exclaim, "This is simply a scene from a science fiction movie come to life!"

Lin Xiaoqian nodded vigorously, echoing, "That's absolutely awesome!"

Forgive her for her lack of words when she's excited.

On the street, pedestrians were wearing clothes of unknown material, but the colors and styles were quite diverse.

They moved quickly in hovercraft, leaving the ground spotless and as clean as a mirror.

The plants lining the roadside are all genetically modified, lush and green, emitting a strange fragrance, but they look a bit odd, like they're fake.

In the distance, a massive interstellar warship slowly sailed by, its body obscuring a patch of starry sky, casting a shadow below, its powerful aura inspiring awe.

Lin Xiaoqian's eyes widened: "This warship is so magnificent!"

Jiang Shuang said longingly, "Yes, I really want to take it home."

Lin Xiaoqian burst into laughter at Jiang Shuang's words: "Sister Shuang, you really dare to think big. We can't take this warship with us."

This is too big; even the warehouse can't hold it all.

After discussing it, Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang decided to lock the door and go for a walk around. The two of them were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, looking here and there.

After walking along the street near the entrance for a short while, you'll reach a square surrounded by shops.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang disguised themselves as locals and wandered among the shops.

The shop is filled with a dazzling array of high-tech products.

From miniature quantum communication devices to virtual reality equipment that can simulate various environments, there's something for everyone, and there are even a few stores that sell mechs.

After traveling around, I gained a basic understanding of the world.

At least I've figured out that the common currency used in this world is called interstellar currency, which is a type of virtual currency.

To trade with others, you must transfer funds through a miniature quantum communicator, also known as a quantum computer.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang discussed, "Sister Shuang, we need to find a way to get a quantum computer, otherwise we won't be able to buy anything."

Jiang Shuang nodded, looking somewhat worried, and said, "Yes, but how do we buy this quantum computer?"

Lin Xiaoqian suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Why don't we exchange it for a piece of gold?"

The nation, fearing they wouldn't be able to trade in other worlds, stuffed her warehouse with gold bars, probably thinking gold was a hard currency.

Jiang Shuang hesitated for a moment: "Xiao Qian, in this interstellar world, is gold as valuable as it is back home?"

Lin Xiaoqian scratched his head: "Let's try it first." Then he pulled Jiang Shuang to a store that sold quantum computers.

After discussing my thoughts with the shop assistant, the assistant politely replied, "Ma'am, our shop doesn't accept metal materials. You can go to a materials store and ask them if they accept them."

Lin Xiaoqian wasn't disappointed. After asking the shop assistant where the nearest building materials store was, she and Jiang Shuang left.

There are several material stores not far from here. One of the material stores is next to a store that sells mecha, so Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang went into that store first.

The shop owner was an old man with white hair, blue eyes, a high nose, and a Western appearance.

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoqian enter, they were quite enthusiastic: "Welcome, feel free to look at any materials you may want."

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang looked around the shop, which was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual materials.

There were crystals emitting a faint glow, and metal blocks of different colors and irregular shapes; I wondered what their purpose was.

Lin Xiaoqian took out a gold brick and asked, "Boss, do you accept this?"

The boss glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then took it from Lin Xiaoqian's hand.

He examined it carefully, then shook his head and said, "Little girl, this is just ordinary gold, it's not worth much."

He tossed it in his palm, then said, "This amount is worth at most 500 Star Coins."

This gold brick weighs a full kilogram and is worth about 500,000 yuan in Lin Xiaoqian's world.

In this world, the cheapest and most basic quantum computer costs 3000 interstellar coins, which means you would need to sell 6 gold bricks to buy one.

Although there were still more than a dozen gold bars in the warehouse, Lin Xiaoqian cautiously told the boss that she wanted to think about it some more, and then went with Jiang Shuang to other material stores to ask about prices.

The prices offered by other material stores were similar, with one store even offering a low price of only 300 Star Coins.

The two discussed that they should go to the first store to sell gold bars, and then buy a quantum computer to use first, and buy other ones after they made money.

When the owner of the first shop saw them return, a knowing smile appeared on his face: "So, young lady, do you still think my price is the fairest?"

Lin Xiaoqian smiled, and using his bag as a cover, took out six gold bars and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper checked carefully, then smiled and said, "That's 3000 Star Coins in total. Where are your personal computers? I'll transfer the Star Coins to you."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled awkwardly: "Boss, to be honest, we need your help. We don't have a personal computer on us right now, so we need to ask you to come with us to the personal computer store to buy one. Just buy the 3000 model."

Then she took two big, red apples out of her bag and stuffed them into the shopkeeper's hand: "Please."

The boss stared blankly at the two large apples being stuffed into his hand.

He has never liked eating fruit. Although eating more fruit can supplement vitamins, the fruits in the interstellar world are all genetically modified and taste very bad. Chewing them is like gnawing on wood, and the fruit flavor is also very weak.

It's better to just take vitamin tablets or vitamin liquid.

But the two apples in my hand had such a strong fruity aroma, a natural and enticing fragrance.

The boss couldn't help but take a deep breath, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Then he asked, "Did you come from the original planet?"

The Protostars were planets newly discovered by the Interstellar Alliance and then incorporated into the Interstellar Alliance.

Everything on the original planet was relatively primitive, with fewer genetically modified items, and the plants were more natural. In any case, they tasted much better than the genetically modified plants and fruits produced by the Interstellar Alliance.

But there are too few primordial stars discovered now, and with so many interstellar people, plants on primordial stars are selling for astronomical prices.

Some nobles and politicians, once they discover a primordial planet, will engage in monopolistic practices, making it virtually impossible for ordinary interstellar people to regularly consume food from that planet.

The two natural apples that Lin Xiaoqian brought out could easily sell for 10,000 interstellar coins each, and there would be plenty of people willing to buy them.

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang naturally didn't know any of this; they didn't even know what the Primal Star was, so they nodded haphazardly.

The shopkeeper was overjoyed when the two admitted it: "My name is John, you can call me Old John. Come on, I'll go with you to buy a quantum computer."

He carefully put away the two large apples, closed the shop door, and followed Lin Xiaoqian and the other person into the computer store.

Seeing that the 3000-yuan optical computer was only the lowest-end, most basic model, he waved his hand and said, "Don't buy this low-end machine. It doesn't even have basic privacy settings. You can choose whichever one you like. I'll pay for it. Consider it your return gift to me for giving Apple."

As he spoke, he took out a cool watch-shaped computer and recommended it to the two of them: "This is the latest model. My grandson just bought it a few days ago."

Lin Xiaoqian and Jiang Shuang glanced at the price: Star Coins.
