Chapter 8: Chapter 5: Making Money Is a Minor Challenge

“Blueprints for a large light-guided particle cannon and the smelting calculation charts for materials needed to make the particle cannon.”

“Yes, I have them.” Su Jiameng thought it would be fine to sell them now, as everything was in place for a high chance of success. “Shall we trade now?”

“You are a newbie plane merchant, and you can only trade once a week.” Which means the second trade will have to wait until a week later, “I will contact you then, and you can let me know about the training equipment you need so I can prepare it, then we can estimate the price.”

Since this was not her original body, her hand speed was not fast, and her fingers couldn’t keep up with her brain’s thought process. It took some time to send over everything she needed. The other party sent back an “OK” emoji and then logged off.

“It’s truly a practical platform, but unfortunately, it’s currently only usable once a week.” Su Jiameng took another colorful fruit and started munching on it. Her stomach felt about sixty percent full, so she stopped eating. This body seemed to have been hungry for a long time, and suddenly eating too much wouldn’t be good for it.

She placed both eggs into the nutrient liquid, watching them float in the liquid. The blue patterns on the eggshell seemed to glow much brighter.

“I feel like I’ve seen this pattern somewhere before… but I can’t recall where…” She placed the two eggs in the bed to prevent them from falling, “I still need to go outside to explore properly. I’m not even sure what kind of environment this is.”

If the internet was stable, it would be great to know what’s happening outside without going out. She opened her smart brain page and slowly paced around the room, finally finding a relatively stable network spot by the window, “I definitely need to buy a network signal amplifier in the future…”

Browsing websites was already extremely slow and agonizing; logging into the virtual network was impossible. It took her half a day to understand the external situation, realizing she was not only on a poor planet but on a poor planet infested with alien beasts, which made her stomach ache badly.

According to the state of civilization and prosperity, planets are also graded from one to nine. And poor planets are inhabited by a bunch of paupers who cannot afford the consumption level of planets above level nine or are stingy people who want to take advantage without earning it…

Based on the fragmented memories in her brain from the original owner, she seemed to be a wealthy heiress, but somehow ended up here, dropping her living quality from heaven to hell. As for the cause of death, according to the scan of the teaching system, the original owner was fed micro-toxins by someone, accumulating over time and taking her life. Who could be so cruel and despicable!

The original owner’s smart brain system had already been merged with Su Jiameng’s smart brain, so she could now directly check the original owner’s little treasury. She glanced at it, a pitiful 39 credit points. And now it was the beginning of the month, so to receive the Alliance’s remedy, she had to wait at least until the end of the month.

Suddenly, she felt a bit distressed for the seasonings “borrowed,” which probably would never be returned. These items were rationed monthly, and she couldn’t afford to buy them herself… it pained her deeply.

“Even if not dragged down by micro-toxins, continuing like this would lead to starving to death.” With 39 credit points, where one credit point equals one Earth-era dollar, trying to survive more than twenty days on thirty-nine dollars, wouldn’t this child starve to death? And those two eggs were doomed too.

According to her understanding, the cheapest bread here costs 3 credit points, about the size of a palm, and probably only enough for one meal.

“Su Jiameng, born in Cosmic Calendar…” Su Jiameng flipped through the original owner’s Alliance ID and information, then checked the time and calculated. The original owner was at most sixteen years old this year… sixteen and already had a child… why didn’t the original owner sue the male party?

According to the Human Alliance laws, regardless of whether the female or male party consented, any substantial relationship with anyone under thirty-five is considered a crime of seducing or raping a minor, with a sentence starting from ten years in prison!

Of course, Mecha Masters are an exception! Due to their small population, low fertility rate, and high chance of their offspring becoming Mecha Masters, the Alliance highly encourages early childbirth among this group… and this body didn’t seem to belong to a Mecha Master.

Scratching her head, Su Jiameng felt these legal issues were genuinely headache-inducing, so she chose to throw them aside and not deal with them. At this moment, she keenly noticed something seemed to be moving in the room! She grabbed a pair of chopsticks and silently approached…

Remembering the existence of alien beasts on this planet, Su Jiameng’s heart tightened. If she were her old self, not to mention alien beasts, even taking on a mecha alone wouldn’t be a problem, but now this body couldn’t keep up with her mind’s thoughts. Encountering the weakest alien beast, there was still a possibility of losing her life if she wasn’t careful.
