MTL - Interstellar Tattered Queen-Chapter 8 Expensive natural food

   Chapter 8 Expensive Natural Food

  When the female interviewer said this sentence, it did not contain any derogatory meaning. Although the shopping malls in the interstellar era and the 21st century where Jiyou was in the previous life, although both are places where goods are sold, the difference is still very huge. First of all, tally, cashiers, security, cleaning...the necessary staff of this kind of shopping malls, It has all been handed over to the robot to do it, and there is no need for humans.

Secondly, slightly complicated and manpower-requiring tasks, such as special customer service and after-sales for special products. If the physical and mental power is not up to the standard, when the customer needs point-to-point after-sales, the mental power cannot reach the D level, and it is not possible to drive a suspended vehicle. , Then how do you come to do after-sales services for people? Moreover, many products require mental power D or higher before they can be used.

  Furthermore, the warehouse keeper is not as simple as Ji Yu imagined. In addition to keeping the goods, he also has to take care of the goods. For example, he needs to maintain and maintain the mecha regularly. These require certain physical fitness.

  Therefore—

  The shopping mall's rejection of Jiyou is excusable.

   Come again, the other party suggested that Ji You go to Xingwang to find a coolie job, which can be said to be very sincere. Star network coolie was originally a job designed and launched by the coalition government specifically for citizens with poor physical and mental abilities. It has no mental and physical requirements, nor does it have any technical content. It only takes time to earn credits, but it’s just that the credits earned are very low.

Jiyou does 10 hours of coolies every day, only 20-22 credits a day, and only earns 660 credits without taking a month’s rest. The basic monthly salary of the store clerk is 1500 yuan, and there is a commission. ＋Bonus, there are two days off every week, there are annual leave... How can star network coolies compare to a formal job?

  That’s why Jiyou racked his brains to find himself a formal job.

However-

  Alas~

  Full of disappointment, she tried her best to remain polite, and said: "Thank you for your suggestion. If you need someone like me in the future, please contact me."

  Leaving the interview hall full of disappointment and frustration, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. If she had known that she would fail, she would not come to the interview. This time, she would have to spend 4 credits on the bus.

  Alas~

  However, she knew in her heart that even if she expected to fail, she would still try, after all, she would not try? How do you know that it really failed? In many cases, you can only know if you can do it without hitting the south wall or turning your head.

  In her previous life, in order to read more books and learn more things, she had tasted bitterness and failure, but the facts proved that as long as she did not give up, won't she succeed in the end?

  So, as long as you maintain a firm belief and don't give up, you will definitely survive in this interstellar age!

   Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Jiyou clenched her fists and warned herself never to give up.

  ...

The current Junk Star 101 is divided into 10 regions, because there are protective barriers built by the Alliance government on the entire planet. This protective barrier effectively blocks star beasts, cosmic rays, radiation, and air pollution...Due to the wild environment It is very bad and humans cannot survive for a long time. Therefore, humans on the entire planet live in protected areas, but there are also advantages and disadvantages in protected areas. The two areas 5 and 6 in the central area are undoubtedly the safest and the most environmentally friendly. It is also the most prosperous commercial area.

  Followed by the four areas of 3, 4, 7, and 8, followed by safety and environment.

Next, there are the four areas 1, 2, 9, 10. Because they are in the most remote and edge areas of the entire planet, they are often hit by star beasts, storms, wind and sand... and the protective barriers are the weakest. Therefore, 1 -2, 9-10, these four fringe areas are the most barren places on the planet. As long as people with a good family background, they must be thinking about moving away and are unwilling to live in these four areas for a long time.

Ji’s family is an aboriginal on No. 101. Before her parents passed away, they had already saved a deposit. Ji’s father had planned to take his wife and daughter to move to District 6 to live in. The family was crushed and scored to fall apart. After the death of Ji's father and Ji's mother, Uncle Ji took away all the money of Jiyou's family under the pretext of taking care of Jiyou. After that, Uncle Ji moved to District 6 with his wife and children.

  In any era, wealth is the most challenging thing.

Standing in a spacious, bright, and clean shopping mall, facing a wide variety of weird, colorful products, Jiyou couldn’t help but be thrilled. There was a wave of longing in her eyes. If she had money, she would I want to buy it...

Why!

  If there is no if, hurry back home.

However, before leaving District 6, Jiyou went to the shopping mall dedicated to selling nutritional supplements, spent 20 credits, and bought 10 low-grade nutritional supplements. The business in District 6 is the most prosperous. The shelf life of the nutritional supplements purchased here is the latest. Yes, unlike those purchased at Mrs. Smith’s store in District 10, the shelf life is always only half a year. In this regard, Ji You is very suspicious of the Smith family’s purchase channels.

  Now it's hard to come to District 6, Jiyou of course has to stock up some rations for herself. After buying the lowest-level nutritional supplements, Jiyou took a look at the medium and high-level ones on the shelf, and quickly withdrew his attention.

  Can't afford it~

  Can't afford it~

  Can't afford it~

  Still don't be discouraged.

  Jiyou dare not stay in the mall. The dazzling array of products dazzled her. The point is that they all make her heart-stirring, and almost everything is basically something she can't afford.

Ji You raised her foot and was about to leave. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of several people dressed up and wealthy walking towards another window that was separated from the wall selling nutrients and synthetic foods. The steps of these people were a little hurried. What is going to be snapped up.

  Jiyou couldn't help being curious and followed.

  As soon as she walked in, she couldn't help but her eyes widened, feeling that the whole person had suffered a knowing blow. It turned out that this place turned out to be a place where natural food was sold. The entire layout and display here is like a 21st century vegetable and fruit shop. Rows of shelves are filled with fresh peppers, eggplants, lettuce, potatoes, corn, tomatoes...

  In addition to vegetables, there are also watery apples, bananas with strong fragrance, grapes with full grains, and oranges with yellow oranges...

There are so many kinds of   , beyond Ji You’s imagination, the moment she stepped into this land, her saliva could not help but secrete.

too-

too-

  I haven’t eaten it for a long time. Just looking at it makes me gluttonous.

Can-

   Seeing the price posted on it, Ji You instantly stared, and she wanted to cry.

too expensive!

  The price of these fresh and delicious natural foods is too expensive, too expensive, and even frenzied. What's even more uncomfortable for Jiyu is that many of the fruits and vegetables here are sold according to grains, such as apples, bananas, grapes, tomatoes, and potatoes. , Color and fullness, as well as the sparseness of nutrients contained to distinguish prices.

  For example, 6 apples placed on the same shelf have different origins and different selling prices. The largest of them shows:

  Place of Origin: Balance Star-Bekena Mountains.

  Weight: 239g.

  Nutrition: 136 calories (kcal), 2.2 dietary fiber, vitamin...

  Radiation degree: 0.039%, (I want to explain here that the standard for dividing natural food in the interstellar age is that the radiation degree is less than 1%. Food exceeding 1% cannot be directly eaten.)

  Price: 810 credits/piece.
