Interstellar travel, a beloved companion, a magnificent and turbulent otherworld.

Dongfang Yu had originally planned to give Mo Li a brand new set of kitchen utensils, and since this opportunity came up, he took her along and let her choose them herself.

It can be said to encompass frying, stir-frying, cooking, and deep-frying, including fully automatic fryers, fully automatic stew pots, fully automatic steamers, fully automatic food processors, and more... It's so convenient that you can start it immediately with just a tap of your hand and a command. It's so user-friendly that "convenient" doesn't even begin to describe it.

All the equipment only needs to have an energy stone replaced every six months. Mo Li chose all the equipment with simple functions, as she has never liked kitchen utensils with so many fancy functions.

I prefer targeted cooking, as the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. Interstellar technology products generally have many additional functions. If it is a single-function product, the technology must be top-notch. This is what Mo Li values ​​and likes, not to mention that the price is also quite reasonable and affordable.

Ye Zixuan looked at her and saw that she had bought so many fully automated multi-functional robots when one could have done the job, and asked in confusion, "Ali, why did you buy so many? One robot could have done all their functions."

"I prefer to cook them separately, as they taste better that way."

"Oh, I see. I support you. Is there anything else you need? I'll help you choose. Or, Ali, let's buy all the single-function items we have, since we'll use them every day anyway."

Mo Li tapped him on the head: "What are you thinking about, you spendthrift old man? It's not about quantity, but quality. As long as you have enough, that's enough. Otherwise, it's a waste, don't you understand?"

"Ouch, that hurts! Ah Li, you really don't care about me at all. Fine, fine, whatever Ah Li says."

Dongfang Yu silently absorbed the experience from the side. He didn't want to be hit on the head by Mo Li. He just needed to give appropriate advice and then obediently pay.

After buying almost everything, he gently reminded her, "Ali, we need to buy a virtual control panel."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, A-Yu, to go and buy it."

Upon hearing the name "A-Yu," Dongfang Yu's eyes sparkled with a hint of joy, and a blush crept up his ears.

"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do."

Ye Zixuan pouted unhappily: "Hmph, Ali doesn't treat me like one of his own at all. Why is he A Yu and I Ye Zixuan?"

Mo Li was truly amused by his childish behavior: "What, you get angry when I call you Little Jealous King? What should I call you then? Ye Ye, Ah Xuan?"

As she uttered the term of endearment for him, the boy's face and ears gradually turned as red as apples, yet he still stubbornly retorted, "Shouldn't this be your own idea? You're the one calling me that, not the other way around."

"Okay, Leaf."

"Hmph, barely passable. Remember, Ali, that's your special way of addressing me."

Mo Li glanced at the suddenly arrogant young man, smiled faintly and nodded: "Okay, I understand. It's exclusive. Let's go, let's explore the other areas."

"Let's go to the artificial plant park. There are artificial flowers and plants there, including rare ones. Ali, you should like it."

Standing in the botanical garden, Mo Li gave a definite answer: "I like it."

Anyone who sees those flowers blooming in all their glory, with colorful butterflies fluttering around them, busy little bees, and the pleasant fragrance of flowers in the air, would think it's a real garden and would never think of it as an artificial one.

This shows just how advanced interstellar technology has become.

Dongfang Yu had finished what he needed to do and came to their side.

"Some of these flowers are reconstructed from ancient Earth, such as orchids, peonies, chrysanthemums, lotuses, plum blossoms, osmanthus, and camellias. Others are plants and flowers from interstellar experiences and before nuclear storms, and some are species recorded in interstellar history that have already become extinct."

"It is indeed very beautiful and unique. We can buy some to decorate our home. Otherwise, it will look lifeless and the atmosphere will be particularly dull, lacking the vibrant atmosphere that life should have."

Dongfang Yu picked up a pot of orchids and handed it to her: "How about this one?"

Mo Li was about to speak when she saw the electronic numbers representing the price flashing on the flower petals. Her expression froze, and her demeanor changed: "Um, well, I think that flowers are just for admiring; there's no need to necessarily own them."

Haha, what a joke! A simulated orchid, although it's incredibly realistic and you can even smell its faint fragrance, is ridiculously expensive at ten million interstellar coins. Seriously? She has countless orchids in her space that are rarer and more beautiful than this. Most importantly, it's a real flower!

Mo Li also noticed Dongfang Yu's subtlety, moved a little closer, and lowered her voice, saying, "I'll give you a real orchid later. We don't deserve this fake one."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu's eyes lit up, and without the slightest hesitation, he put the orchid back in its original place.

Indeed, it's enough to simply appreciate it.

Ye Zixuan wasn't a flower lover, but that didn't stop him from having a natural affinity for plants, just like other interstellar people.

"I also think it's best to just look at it. It's not real anyway. If it were real, I could buy one and take it home to grow. With Ali around, I wouldn't have to worry about it not surviving."

He subconsciously lowered his voice when he said the last sentence.

Why is the price so high?

Mo Li still asked the question that puzzled her.

"Because the materials for artificial flowers are extremely rare, and the techniques are exclusively monopolized."

"I see. No wonder I haven't seen any artificial plants like this at home or on the street."

"That's for sure. Unless someone is extremely fond of it, few people will actually buy it due to the cost. However, this area is a must-visit for anyone coming to the Science and Technology City."

Mo Li understood this, after all, such a beautiful sight is extremely rare in interstellar space.

"However, the main residences of the first tier, such as the royal palace, all have a meticulously crafted garden to demonstrate their power and status."

How does its size compare to this place?

"Pretty much. The cost is there, and because the materials are precious and scarce, it's not realistic to build a larger scale one."

“It’s okay. One day, we will have our own biggest and most authentic garden.”

If it weren't for the need to avoid revealing too much of themselves, Mo Li could easily give them a visual shock with a wave of her hand, showing them that they too could enjoy the exclusive visual privileges of the imperial palace and top-tier families.

Dongfang Yu: "Not yet, it's a crime to possess a treasure."

"I understand, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Let's go, we've seen enough of this, let's go look around somewhere else. We haven't even seen half of it yet, since we're already here, let's just see everything we can in one go."
