My carefree life in space

Chapter 48 alarmed the authorities.

The next morning, Lin Shushu sent a message to Yan He, expressing her intention not to go to the Yan family for the time being.

Yan He was very disappointed after seeing the message; he had wanted to explore the forest with Sister Shushu.

Over the past two days, he'd come to realize that entering the forest wasn't for survival, but for treasure hunting—a realization that had shattered his understanding of things for over a decade. The fact that Lin Shushu was suddenly not going left him feeling quite disappointed.

Yan Qing saw the disappointment on his face but didn't offer any comfort. Her younger brother needed to face reality; those two were clearly not ordinary people and couldn't possibly stay here long. Their departure was inevitable.

Just as he was about to say something, Lu Cheng arrived with his team members, followed by many of their respective family members.

Lu Cheng was a little disappointed when he learned that Lin Shushu and the others wouldn't be coming today, but he quickly let it go.

He brought so many people today because he wanted to try his luck in the forest again. Everyone loved the sweet potatoes from yesterday, and he wanted to go look for more; if he could find even more, that would be great.

If he can't find it, he can look for other things. They've overlooked many plants before, but yesterday's sweet potato incident opened his eyes; perhaps there are even more treasures in the forest that they've ignored.

After Yan Qing learned of his idea, he also thought it was worth a try. Even if they didn't recognize any new food, they could ask Lin Shushu. For some reason, he just felt that Lin Shushu must know a lot of edible plants.

In the hotel, after Lin Shushu sent a message to Yan He, she and Mo Ze prepared to send out the orders for the two shops.

They promised to restock every 5 days, but they forgot about it after arriving at R15 star.

Fortunately, the products in both stores were so amazing that buyers were patient enough to wait after placing an order; otherwise, the stores would have been complained about countless times and would have gone out of business long ago.

After all, what kind of legitimate business owner works sporadically? Unless they're incredibly wealthy and don't care about profits.

Unfortunately, although Lin Shushu's family didn't own any mines, they had something even more precious, so they had the right to be capricious.

After sending out all the orders and listing new pills and spiritual fruits, the two returned to their spatial cultivation. They had just broken through a minor realm last night and needed to consolidate their progress over the next few days.

While they were immersed in their cultivation, they were unaware that they had already become famous on Star R15.

The reason was that after Yan Qing and Lu Cheng went to explore the forest that day, only Yan Li was left at home.

Yan Li had been bedridden for a long time, but now, with good news, he was in high spirits. He and his son had both recovered, and their livelihood was no longer a problem. In a good mood, he thought he should go out for a stroll.

During this stroll, he ran into the therapist who had previously given him the diagnosis that he was incurable.

The therapist couldn't believe his eyes at first. The person he had predicted wouldn't live more than a few days was not only standing right in front of him, but was in even better physical condition than a normal person.

After confirming it was Yan Li again and again, the therapist was shocked. It was a miracle. If someone as severely contaminated as Yan Li could recover completely, then others would be even more so.

After a hasty farewell to Yan Li, he arrived at the planetary management office. Healers like him were highly valued on Star R15, so he easily met the person in charge.

The person in charge was named Gu Huan, who happened to be from a branch of the Gu family on the Imperial Star. He had been sent to Star R15 for five years. Before coming, he was a spirited young man who always wanted to make a name for himself.

After arriving, I discovered that the area is resource-poor, talent-scarce, and people struggle to even make ends meet, let alone achieve development.

Just as he was contemplating whether to accept reality and seek an opportunity to return to the Imperial Star, he heard this shocking news. Inexplicably, he felt his chance had arrived, as if a bright future was beckoning him.

Gu Huan took this very seriously and insisted on personally investigating the situation.

So, when Yan Li returned home after having a good time shopping, he found someone waiting for him at his door.

Yan Li recognized one of them as the therapist he had just met. The other three looked familiar, but he couldn't quite place them.

After inviting the person into the house, Gu Huan revealed his identity and purpose.

When Yan Li heard that the other party had come to find out the reason for his sudden improvement, he did not hide anything and repeated what he had told the therapist.

After listening, Gu Huan grasped the key point, "You mean the owner of that shop came to Star R15?"

Seeing Yan Li nod, Gu Huan pressed on, "What are they doing here? Where are they now? Could you introduce them to me?"

Seeing that the people in front of him were so polite, Yan Li thought that Lin Shushu and the others had not kept his whereabouts a secret and that their actions over the past few days were traceable. He figured they wouldn't mind revealing their identities, so he told them what they had been doing.

Hearing that the shop owner could not only provide magical elixirs, but also learn about new foods and master new cooking methods, Gu Huan became even more excited and couldn't wait to meet him.

However, he didn't immediately approach them. For capable people, not only should they be treated with great courtesy, but their schedules should also be flexible. In this process, an intermediary is also needed to make the introduction.

Yan Li didn't have Lin Shushu's or Mo Ze's contact information; they had only been in contact with Yan He. Yan He had gone to the forest outside the safe zone today, so Gu Huan could only patiently wait for his return.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable just sitting there, Yan Li suggested making some roasted sweet potatoes for the group.

Gu Huan became interested upon hearing this. "Is it the new food variety we discovered yesterday?" He had just noticed Yan Li unconsciously swallowing when he talked about sweet potatoes.

So he saw with his own eyes that Yan Li first lit a fire with firewood, but did nothing else. Just as he was wondering what was going on, only some charcoal and ash remained of the firewood.

Yan Li carried about ten clods of earth out of the house and buried them in the fire that was still radiating heat.

After doing all this, Yan Li went back inside. "We can eat in a little while."

Gu Huan was somewhat skeptical. Could this kind of sweet potato, made with such a simple and crude method, really taste good?

Seeing Yan Li's expectant expression, he put aside his doubts and waited patiently.

Soon, a rich aroma wafted through the courtyard. Except for Yan Li, the other four were all startled. What was that smell? Could it be…?

The group looked at Yan Li in disbelief, only to see him happily get up and walk out.

Following his footsteps into the courtyard, the fragrance grew stronger, and the group finally confirmed that the fragrance came from the clod of earth that Yan Li had buried earlier.

After putting the sweet potato in their mouths, no one spoke again.

Finally, disregarding etiquette, Gu Huan poked around in the fire with a stick a few times, and after confirming there were no sweet potatoes, he finally gave up hope.

Now, he was even more eager to meet the two mysterious shop owners.
