Chapter 30 Holding Hands
The group disembarked from the starship.

Four or five men dressed in black airport work uniforms stood below the starship's staircase exit, with guns tucked into their waistbands.

"Everyone come over and start sweeping," the staff member said.

Jiang Mian walked down, and a red light from a scanner swept over her. Other people who passed by were also scanned in turn.

This scan not only checked for dangerous items but also their identities. Soon after, the staff member spoke in a businesslike manner: "You only have one hour to stay at the airport. You must leave the airport after one hour, otherwise the airport's attack system will automatically scan and shoot you."

Jiang Mian paused, then immediately looked down at her personal terminal to memorize the time before silently walking into the airport terminal. The orcs behind her followed her in.

She bought a lot of packages on StarNet and had them all delivered to this airport. Don't ask her how she knows the address, because this is the only official X1 airport in the entire X1 Exile Star, and it's also the only place where you can receive packages.

However, the logistics were extremely slow.

More than ten days have passed, and when she checked the logistics information on her personal computer, it still showed that the shipment was in transit.

Jiang Mian never expected the logistics to be so slow, but it was understandable, after all, it was an exile planet, so it was understandable that it was underdeveloped.

"It's best to buy the oxygen mask set within an hour." Rong Fei glanced at Jiang Mian, who was looking down at the logistics information, and then slowly said, "Because the air pollution level on X1 Pollution Star has reached 95%. Once a human body inhales this kind of air, it will either catch a cold or be seriously polluted, causing genetic mutations, bodily decay, and eventually death."

He reached out and took Jiang Mian's hand, which was hanging by her side, and slowly led her forward, his voice soft and calm: "Although the prices of the items in the malls inside the airport are outrageous, they are still affordable."

Jiang Mian shifted her gaze from the personal terminal on her right wrist and followed Rong Fei forward, where she indeed spotted a huge but sparsely populated shopping mall in the airport.

The items she ordered from the StarNet hadn't arrived yet, so in order to survive, she had no choice but to buy things from the airport mall first.

The other four orcs followed behind. When they saw Rong Fei holding the hand of the woman next to him, and the woman quietly letting him hold her hand, seemingly not feeling anything was wrong, the orcs' expressions changed.

Clad in pristine white robes, with silver hair cascading to his waist, this tall orc, whose fingertips seemed to glow, and who was an extremely germaphobic individual, actually took the initiative to hold the woman's hand.

The man in white and the woman walked together, looking exceptionally well-matched. The woman's black hair would occasionally entangle with the man's silver hair before slipping away.

Chi Lin found this scene particularly jarring.

What does that mean? Does that mean the lizard has also taken a liking to that woman?

Lin Yu's long, dark, curly hair no longer covered half of her face; only a few strands would sometimes fall down her profile. Her complexion was extremely pale and cold, but her thick eyebrows were very dark, her red eyes were very red, her thin lips were also very red, and the red mole on the lower right corner of her lips was particularly noticeable, creating a strikingly beautiful contrast in color.

The dense snake scales on one side of his neck indicated that he was an orc, and his whole demeanor was gloomy and unapproachable.

At this moment, his eyelids were slightly lowered, and dark emotions swirled in his red eyes.

Why didn't she pull her hand away? Why was she holding that orc's hand? Why didn't she take his hand? Why didn't she take his hand...?

Lin Yu stared at Jiang Mian's back with a gloomy and dark gaze, like a vampire who was sickly thirsting for blood but trying to restrain himself.

Zhao Ci was somewhat irritated, not just because he saw the lizard beastman leading Jiang Mian, but because he felt irritated every time he saw Jiang Mian.

Ever since he impulsively tried to woo Jiang Mian, he sometimes dreams about her, and his first attempt to woo her was actually with that wicked woman, Jiang Mian.

He felt disgusted, yet he couldn't stop thinking about her hand gently stroking his wing... He couldn't reconcile himself with the fact that he had courted Jiang Mian, so every time he saw Jiang Mian, he would think of this incident, and thinking of it would make him feel bad.

He looked at the two people in front of him holding hands.

Jiang Mian hasn't bothered him for a long time. Wasn't he his favorite? Why isn't she bothering him anymore?
Zhao Ci didn't know what he was angry about. The worse his mood got, the colder his expression became. The glitter on his profile seemed to shine slightly with anger, making his beautiful face look even more aloof and stunning.

The glitter on the little butterfly wings behind him also lit up slightly in anger.

Li Yan was somewhat surprised, since he usually finished his mission, drank some nutritious soup, went back to his room, put on his personal computer, and let his consciousness sink into another mechanical body to carry out the mission. He had never paid attention to the interactions between the other beastmen and Jiang Mian.

Now, seeing the lizard beastman, who was extremely obsessed with cleanliness, actually take the woman's hand.

What's been happening lately?
Jiang Mian was naturally unaware of the many thoughts running through the minds of the orcs behind him.

She followed Rong Fei into the shopping mall at the airport.

When she saw the price, she understood what Rong Fei meant by "the price is outrageous".

It's not just outrageous, it's extremely outrageous!
Things in the airport shopping mall are really expensive.

Its price isn't just a few dozen more star coins, it's tens of thousands more star coins!

Jiang Mian saw that the outfit she bought on the StarNet only cost 1,000 Star Coins, but here it cost 100,000 Star Coins.

Ten Star Coins sell for 1,000 Star Coins, one Hundred Star Coins sell for 10,000 Star Coins, and one Thousand Star Coins sell for 100,000 Star Coins.

You can't rob people like this!
Before coming here, Jiang Mian had earned seven million star coins. She had also bought a lot of things on the Star Network, mainly medicinal herbs and alchemy equipment. Now she only had a little over one million left.

She had calculated that even if the oxygen masks at the airport were expensive, they shouldn't cost more than 10,000 Star Coins.

I never imagined that an oxygen mask that sells for 5,000 Star Coins on the StarNet would be sold for 500,000 in this polluted planet's black-hearted mall!

All she has left is enough to buy two oxygen masks.

Moreover, the oxygen mask can only last for one day, and you need to buy reserve oxygen. The reserve oxygen for one day is equivalent to the cost of the oxygen mask, which is 500,000.

Jiang Mian:......

What a blunder! What a blunder!

No wonder this shopping mall was so empty, with a huge crowd of people and orcs outside but only one cashier inside.

This price is beyond the reach of people on the impoverished exile planet.

Jiang Mian, who had originally intended to generously buy oxygen masks and stockpiles of oxygen for every orc, was now successfully dealt a blow by reality. He simply coughed lightly and looked at the orcs: "Um, you all should have money on you, right? You should be able to buy oxygen masks and oxygen yourselves, right?"

Let her see if every orc is richer than her.
