"Everyone, thank you for your support for Hao Yun Lai and for me. Thank you for the gifts. This is the milk tea sold in my shop. I'm treating you all to it. Welcome to my shop!"
Luo Yunshi took out drinks from her system backpack and summoned two robot butlers to help her distribute them.
The fans immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Wow, thank you, Boss Luo."
"Thank you, Sister Luo. I never thought I'd have the chance to taste your milk tea personally."
...
There were over two hundred people gathered. To prevent more people from flocking, Luo Yunshi sped up her distribution of drinks.
Many people also wanted to take photos with Luo Yunshi. Both adults and children held their milk teas, posed, and took pictures with her. Luo Yunshi didn't refuse any of them, nor did she show any impatience.
She returned kindness with kindness and extreme patience.
Receiving gifts, giving out milk tea, and taking photos took less than ten minutes. After bidding farewell to the crowd, Wei Ni, Mano, and Luo Yunshi entered the mall.
Luo Yunshi hadn't been on the Star Network, so she was unaware that news about her had exploded online. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
#Explosive! General Wei Ni, Boss Luo Yunshi, and Mano spotted at Pluto Plaza.
#Shocking News. Boss Luo has arrived on the Central Star and was seen today.
#Pluto Mall encountered Hao Yun Lai's Miss Luo Yunshi.
#Boss Luo at Pluto Plaza is beautiful and dotes on her fans, treating them to milk tea.
#I took a photo with Miss Hao Yun Lai on the Central Star, what a chance encounter.
...
One trending topic after another quickly dominated the charts.
"Yunshi, you've really become famous. Few people don't know who you are now. Wherever you go, you have fans. Did you know you even have fan groups?" Mano said, holding a milk tea with a smile.
"Ah? Fan groups?"
Luo Yunshi hadn't expected her influence to be so great, even having fan groups.
"Yes, and there are many such groups. Some are dedicated to studying your cooking tutorials from livestreams. I've joined one, and they even remind members when you're about to stream."
Wei Ni paused his action of drinking watermelon juice, thinking about the group he had joined. He considered that as her top supporter, joining a fan group was quite natural. He felt a slight sense of ease.
Luo Yunshi and the other two entered the mall on the first floor.
The interior felt even more high-tech than the exterior.
The mall was enormous. Walking alone, even with acceleration shoes, would take a lot of time. Therefore, short-range spatial teleportation was available on each floor.
The three used the floor teleporter and went directly to the 101st floor. The 101st floor was dedicated to the Central Alliance's latest high-tech equipment, which Luo Yunshi found incredibly interesting, studying it with great fascination.
Smart showerheads. Palm-sized circular devices with a space capsule-like component at the top. They didn't require a water heater or connection to a faucet. They stored tons of water, or even more.
Tsk, if this were brought to ancient drought-stricken areas, buying one with a super large storage capacity could directly induce rainfall. It would definitely be revered as a deity.
...
Central Alliance.
After capturing the infected individuals, the Scientific Research Institute and the Zerg Research Institute began various experiments with the boxed meals.
The experimental results showed that neither the infected individuals nor the Zerg could consume this specially energized food. Otherwise, they would suffer unbearable pain, or worse, die.
The most important directive from the Central Alliance was for the personnel stationed at Hao Yun Lai to purchase more energy-containing food and beverages. They were to do their best to conceal that the boxed meals, milk tea, and other items could restrain the Zerg.
Since many fans had also purchased items from Hao Yun Lai, the Central Alliance knew that concealing the truth wouldn't last long. They could only seize the opportunity and quickly conduct a full-scale public testing. The testing method was simple: distribute a small bite of the boxed meal to everyone on each planet. Those who didn't test within 24 hours or who showed a reaction after taking a bite would automatically have a red warning displayed on their identity information. They would be located and apprehended regardless of which planet they were hiding on.
The Central Alliance had indeed employed formidable tactics.
Concurrently, they were extracting moisture from fruits and vegetables with spiritual energy to synthesize and develop new nutritional fluids and anti-Zerg agents.
Luo Yunshi was unaware of the Central Alliance's operations. At this time, she was still shopping with her black card, enjoying a 30% discount.
The entire 101st floor was filled with newly developed items. Although some were not useful to her, they would be of great benefit to her country if she returned to modern times after her system reached max level. With such low prices, not buying would be a huge loss.
As Luo Yunshi browsed, she encountered the most astonishing machines.
Robot boyfriends, robot girlfriends, robot pet cats, pet dogs, and so on.
My goodness, she hadn't expected the intergalactic era to be so open. It was possible to have romantic relationships with robots. The appearance, physique, personality, and other functions of the robots could all be customized, as long as the customized individuals did not resemble Cang Qiong citizens. However, the price was very high, more expensive than advanced butler robots, making them unaffordable for ordinary people.
The robots and robotic pets were incredibly lifelike. They didn't need to eat or drink.
Luo Yunshi stared at the handsome and beautiful robot boyfriends and girlfriends in front of her, clicking her tongue. This completely overturned her imagination.
Mano chuckled upon seeing this. "What? Yunshi, do you want a robot boyfriend?"
"No, no. I don't need one." Luo Yunshi quickly waved her hands.
"By the way, Yunshi. Do you have a boyfriend?" Mano continued to ask.
Wei Ni, standing nearby, also raised an eyebrow at Mano's question. He was also quite curious.
Luo Yunshi didn't feel awkward being asked this question. She smiled and shook her head. "I don't have a boyfriend. As the saying goes, the wise do not fall in love. Being single is so wonderful! You can do whatever you want without anyone controlling you, and you can have fun freely. Why would I look for a boyfriend? Romantic love is just too troublesome."
"Uh... Haha, Yunshi and I think the same way." Mano said with a smile, then looked at Wei Ni with a meaningful gaze.
Luo Yunshi and the other two browsed for the entire morning and had yet to visit some floors. Afterward, they went to the Cang Qiong History Museum.
The Cang Qiong History Museum encompassed almost the entire history of human development in the Cang Qiong galaxy. While there was very little preserved from the first thousand years after arriving at Cang Qiong, there was a vast amount from the subsequent two thousand years.
"Are there many Zerg on the Central Star now?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Ni's expression became slightly serious. He activated the sound-isolating safety shield before speaking.
"Yes, besides the unknown number of infected individuals, there are also low-level Zerg and Zerg eggs.
Outside the Central Star, we are constantly fighting Zerg.
Thanks to your recipes, many people are now catching Zerg outside and trying to make delicacies, which has greatly reduced the pressure on the military. You don't need to worry."
