My carefree life in space

Chapter 42 Shocking Partner

"You should rest well today, and we'll come to see you again at this time tomorrow," Lin Shushu said to Yan Qing.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Yan Qing wanted to invite them to stay for the night, but looking at her own simple house, she couldn't bring herself to say the words of urging them to stay.

After Lin Shushu and Mo Ze left, Yan Li and Yan He looked excitedly at the jade bottle in Yan Qing's hand. With this, their son (brother) would recover; there couldn't be a better outcome.

"Brother, quickly take the pill!" Yan He said excitedly to Yan Qing. Yan Li nodded repeatedly, finally able to let go of his guilt with the pill.

Yan Qing nodded heavily; the pills in the jade bottle were his hope for survival. He carefully poured out a pill and put it into his mouth as if performing a sacred act.

The effects of the medicine quickly became apparent; Yan Qing's dejected look visibly disappeared, and her complexion instantly regained its rosy hue.

This wasn't the first time they'd witnessed this scene, but seeing it again now still left them speechless with shock.

Yan Qing felt it most directly; the changes in his body told him that he had finally recovered his health. This family, finally, didn't have to lose one of its members.

Silently sensing the changes in his body, Yan Qing felt a deep gratitude towards the two people who had come today. No matter how dangerous the task they asked him to do tomorrow, he would not back down.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze took a flying car back to the center of the safe zone, where there was a decent hotel. They would be staying there for a while, and they needed a place to stay without a clear address.

After entering the room, the two returned to their spatial dimension. No matter how talented one is, one cannot neglect cultivation.

Lin Shushu felt that she had already reached the threshold of the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, and now all she needed was an opportunity.

Mo Ze's progress is also not slow. With his innate advantages and the cheat code of space, his cultivation has been smooth sailing, and he is now in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

They hugged each other, then shared a light kiss before sitting cross-legged and entering a meditative state.

After each person consolidated their cultivation level, it was already the morning of the next day.

Walking in the center of the safe zone, Lin Shushu found it quite lively, with even a dedicated trading market.

Each hunting party kept the prey they needed and sold the surplus at the market. They also sold unidentified wild vegetables.

But Lin Shushu also discovered that the game and wild vegetables they were selling had not been purified.

It seems there's a severe shortage of purifiers here, at least no advanced purifiers, as evidenced by the situation of the Yan family father and son.

Purifying pollutants was an easy task for Lin Shushu, so she didn't understand how precious purifiers were in the interstellar era, especially advanced purifiers.

If a high-level purifier appeared anywhere, they would have been invited to a developed planet long ago, why would they stay on a barren planet?

The two walked along, carefully observing their surroundings. When the appointed time was almost up, they boarded the flying car and arrived at the Yan family's residence.

The atmosphere at the Yan family today was more relaxed than ever before. Not to mention the lively Yan He, Yan Qing was also radiant when she woke up this morning, with a smile on her lips that reflected the joy of being reborn.

Having shed yesterday's weakness, Yan Qing is actually quite good-looking, with a delicate and pretty appearance that fits the popular aesthetic standards of Lin Shushu's previous life.

Upon seeing Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, Yan Qing immediately went to greet them.

"Ready? Let's go!" Lin Shushu said to Yan Qing.

"Yes." Yan Qing didn't ask where they were going and followed them. Yan He, who was afraid that they wouldn't take him, followed closely behind. When he found that they weren't being chased away, he immediately became happy.

Looking at the familiar road, Yan Qing understood that these two must want to train outside the safe zone, which was why they asked him, a local, to be their guide.

Yan He also noticed that they were walking towards the outer edge of the safe zone. "Brother Mo, Sister Lin, are you going to the forest for training?" he asked familiarly.

Before setting off, Lin Shushu had briefly introduced their surnames, and she didn't care about how Yan He was addressed.

"Okay, I'll go take a look," Lin Shushu replied simply.

With Yan He around, the journey wasn't awkward at all. Along the way, they encountered several groups heading to hunt in the forests outside the safe zone.

Do you usually go hunting in teams?

Hearing this, the two brothers fell silent for a moment. Finally, Yan He spoke, "We used to form a team with our neighbors, and life was alright then, but ever since..."

Needless to say, Lin Shushu had already guessed what would happen next. With her father and brother getting into trouble one after another, their combat strength was affected, and no team would accept them anymore. Yan He was still young, and no one would want him.

No wonder a single pill wiped out all of the family's savings.

It seems that his family has been supported by this still-young boy for the past few years, and one can only imagine how much hardship he has endured. Lin Shushu looked at this optimistic boy who had remained so despite all the hardships, and praised him in her heart.

Before entering the forest, they encountered another hunting party. The leader of the party immediately approached the Yan brothers upon seeing them.

"Aqing, you're all better? That's wonderful." Her pupils were filled with disbelief, but the joy in her eyes seemed genuine.

The person asking the questions was Lu Cheng, Yan Qing's neighbor and former teammate.

"Yes, I'm all better now." Yan Qing smiled happily.

"Brother Cheng, not only is my brother better, but my father is better too." Yan He couldn't wait to share his joy with his acquaintances.

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng was even more shocked. It wasn't a miracle that Yan Qing could recover, since his condition hadn't reached its worst point. But for Uncle Yan Li to recover was truly incredible, especially since he knew the therapist had said Uncle Yan Li didn't have much time left.

What did he hear now? Uncle Yan Li had actually recovered!

How did they manage to do that? If it's true, then they have one more chance to survive.

You see, they lack purifiers here. Even though the food is heavily contaminated, they have no choice but to eat it to survive, which leads to an increasing amount of pollutants in their bodies. Many people die at a young age.

"How... how did you two get better?" Lu Cheng looked at Yan Qing with expectant eyes, his words stammering.

Yan Qing glanced at Mo Ze and Lin Shushu and, seeing that they didn't seem to mind, replied, "Ahe found a shop called 'Dan Yao Pu' on the StarNet. They have a purification pill that cured us completely after we took it."

Upon hearing this, without asking for further details, Lu Cheng quickly logged onto the StarNet to search for a shop called "Pill Shop." Unfortunately, he found that all the items were sold out. Disappointed, he could only make a note of the matter for the time being.

Lu Cheng glanced at the two strangers beside Yan Qing and his brother, and said to Yan Qing, "Are you going hunting too? Why don't you come along?"

Seeing Lin Shushu shake her head, Yan Qing understood what they meant.

"No, we have other things to do today. Let's team up another day."

Lu Cheng nodded and returned to his team.
