Chapter 414 The Foodie Male Lead 2 (2/2)

Surrounded by her parents and brothers, Wang Suya looked like a victorious queen as she watched Zixi walk step by step toward the door.

"Waste is waste; useless things will eventually be discarded."

As Zi Xi brushed past her, Wang Suya spoke softly in a voice only the two of them could hear.

Zi Xi paused for a moment, but did not turn around.

She straightened her back, which always seemed weak and frail, and pushed open the heavy door.

Outside the door was a bustling interstellar city where hovercars shuttled back and forth; inside was the home she had lived in for eighteen years, but which now had nothing to do with her.

"Waste is waste; useless things will eventually be discarded."

These words lingered in Zi Xi's mind for a long time.

"I'm not useless, I just like to eat."

"Besides, I'm also doing this for research purposes."

Zi Xi muttered to herself, as if trying to encourage herself.

What's wrong with liking to eat?

The interstellar nutrient solutions all taste the same, like chewing plastic, lacking the satisfaction of real food.

But now, it's hard to say whether she'll even be able to eat a single natural food in the future.

However, the thought of food instantly overshadowed the sorrow of being kicked out of the house.

"Let's have some food first."

Zi Xi looked down at the card in her hand, her eyes brightening again.

Her first stop was the Starry Sky Food Plaza, the most famous place in her memory, but which her brothers from the Chu family had previously restricted from visiting because of its high prices.

The food court is located under the dome of the most bustling commercial district of the capital planet. It simulates the streets of different regions of ancient Earth, and the air is filled with the complex aroma of various spices and food being grilled, making people's mouths water.

This was extremely tempting for ordinary interstellar people who were used to the bland taste of nutrient solutions, but for Zi Xi, the former eldest daughter of the Chu family, this was the real deal.

Like a small animal released back into the mountains, she excitedly darted between the various stalls.

"Boss, one order of grilled tartare ribs, please!"

"This! The fluorescent seaweed salad from the deep blue planet, give me the largest portion!"

Zi Xi was completely immersed in the ocean of delicious food, temporarily forgetting all her troubles.

Sitting in the open-air seating area, she savored the rich, fragrant ribs in small bites, but hesitated. The flavor was a bit bland, and a bit... tough.

She had some difficulty chewing it.

Then, using a delicate fork, Zi Xi twirled the seaweed that emitted a faint glow, preparing to experience the crisp texture bursting in her mouth.

As a result, each one was as hard as a rock.

"What the hell is this...?"

Zi Xi stared blankly at the exquisite food.

She rarely leaves home and spends most of her time learning online, so is the food outside really that bad?

But Zi Xi refused to believe it and began a shopping spree.

In the interstellar era, the technology for preserving and transporting natural ingredients has become very advanced.

She frequented shops that only sold high-end natural ingredients.

"Give me three of these dew-kissed grapes from Emerald Star!"

Zi Xi went on a shopping spree almost without looking at the prices.

A few days later, Zi Xi was sitting in her temporary rented room when, as she habitually tried to place an order on the StarNet Mall, a cold and indifferent message popped up on the payment interface.
