Chapter 49 The Lin Family Sets Sail

As it turns out, rich people aren't stupid.

In the warehouse, all the valuables had been moved away, leaving only boxes of mutated beast meat.

These mutated beast meats were specifically requested by a mysterious client who paid half a deposit but has yet to send anyone to collect them.

Lin Xiaohe was particularly irritable, and the poverty of the theater manager exceeded her expectations, seriously affecting her plans.

Lin Xiaohe wanted to shoot him dead.

"Don't be angry, you can have all of this mutated beast meat!"

Lin Xiaohe twitched her lips. What use was this to her?! Eating mutated beast meat made her extremely susceptible to Stardust Disease!

Who would be crazy enough to eat it?

Okay, someone really has gone crazy.

[I want it! Give it all to me!] Fanfan struggled with all her might, wishing she could jump into the box containing the meat.

Lin Xiaohe gripped its branch tightly and said fiercely, "Shut up. If you make another sound, I won't give you a single piece of meat."

The annoyance has subsided.

Lin Xiaohe packed up all the mutated beast meat in the warehouse and took it away, a total of 1000 jin.

The theater manager solicitously hired a truck and sent everyone, meat and all, away!

As soon as she got home, Fanfan couldn't wait to take root in the mutated beast meat.

A ten-pound piece of meat was devoured in less than ten minutes.

[Fanfan's intimacy level +5]

It looked like it hadn't eaten in eight lifetimes; its tiny roots split into several strands, each occupying a piece of flesh.

[Fanfan's intimacy level +5, +5...]

The aloof and noble Fanfan becomes worthless in the face of meat.

"Oh my, so Fanfan is a carnivore." The Lin family watched Fanfan eat meat.

Grandma Lin viewed every plant Lin Xiaohe brought back with an eight-meter-thick filter: "Fanfan is such a good child. She clearly loves eating meat, but she hasn't harmed us at all."

Lin Chiyang loved to tease people. Seeing that Fanfan couldn't finish eating, he deliberately picked up a piece of meat and waved it in front of her.

It was so hungry that it tried to snatch the food with vines, but it couldn't get any.

Lin Xiaohe sighed helplessly. Was her older brother teasing the cat?!

She found Lin Jingqiu, the most reliable person in the family: "Second sister, have you packed everything? I've booked a ferry ticket for the day after tomorrow."

Lin Jingqiu patted his chest confidently, everything was ready!

That day, Fanfan ate 200 jin of mutated beast meat in one go and fell asleep from being so full.

Mr. Lin did not sell the house or land. He rented the land to the village chief, did not collect rent, and only asked the village chief to pay taxes on time.

The Lin family left Hengshan Village quietly early in the morning without saying goodbye to anyone.

On the starship, the Lin family members sat side by side.

Because I booked economy class, the seat was a bit cramped. When it lay flat, only one person could lie down to sleep, and it was difficult to even turn over.

Lin Xiaohe's seat was by the window, and she arranged Xinbao and several other children in a row on the seat.

She's petite and doesn't need to take up much space.

Since boarding the Starship, Mr. Lin has been somewhat absent-minded, with his eyes wide open, unable to sleep.

"Dad, what's wrong? Are you seasick?" Lin Xiaohe asked with concern.

Mr. Lin hesitated for a moment, then forced his eyes to close and said, "No, I'm just too happy. I'll go to sleep right away."

Grandma Lin patted Lin Xiaohe's arm and whispered, "Don't worry about him, he's just afraid of running into acquaintances."

"acquaintance?"

Grandma Lin looked at Lin Xiaohe with a puzzled expression: "Didn't I tell you? Your father used to work at the 5th Star Ring."

"What?! Dad, is this true?"

Lin's father snores, but pretends to be asleep.

Seeing that her father didn't answer the question, Lin Xiaohe asked her grandmother, "Why is Dad afraid of running into acquaintances?"

"Sigh, it's a long story. Your father had many good friends, but when he left the Fifth Star Ring, he didn't tell anyone or contact them. He was probably afraid of running into his friends and being questioned." "I see." Lin Xiaohe considerately ended the conversation.

Everyone has their own secrets. There must be a reason why Dad doesn't contact his friends.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

The starship landed at the port of Vitara. The Lin family did not linger there and boarded the orbital shuttle directly.

The shuttle's interior was spacious, and Lin Xiaohe placed the mutated beast meat inside.

She wanted to feed Fanfan for 11 days and try to feed Fanfan until it reached maturity.

Long-distance voyages are both boring and tiring.

When they finally arrived at the Emerald Dome, the sixth star ring's cross-ring port, the Lin family couldn't help but cheer.

"Dad, have you been to the Emerald Dome before?" Lin Xiaohe asked curiously.

The shuttle was docked at a small berth, connected to a green arched safety barrier, completely obscuring the view outside the barrier.

Here, they complete security checks and tax refunds simultaneously using iris scanning.

Mr. Lin said in a muffled voice, "No, I left from another port area."

This green isolation belt is also called the ecological purification corridor.

Ultraviolet scanning was used to kill radiation-induced bacteria, and xenon gas was added to the air to replace heavy metals in the lungs, minimizing the adverse effects of outsiders on the Fifth Star Ring.

It took a total of three hours to walk from one end of the corridor to the exit.

Upon reaching the exit, a huge disc-shaped space comes into view, with a dome made of photosynthetic glass and an unidentified green liquid flowing on the outer walls.

People come and go here. There are soldiers, businessmen, politicians, and ordinary citizens.

They are all queuing here, waiting to undergo the final quarantine before they can enter the fifth star ring.

"Tsk tsk, another one from the Sixth Star Ring." A passing passenger scoffed.

Lin Xiaohe ignored them.

Xinbao Online told her that they would have to wait another 24 hours before it was their turn for quarantine.

The waiting area is divided into three categories. Category A includes the inner ring observation deck and an ecological oxygen bar, which costs 1000 star coins per hour.

Category B is the standard area, with folding seats and paid Wi-Fi, costing 800 Star Coins per hour.

Category C is located in the outer ring extended cabin, which only has folding seats and costs 500 star coins per hour.

The Lin family voted and unanimously decided that they would not go anywhere, but would just stand in the hall, advocating for saving where possible and spending where appropriate.

Most people who can move from the sixth star ring to the fifth star ring have the financial means and won't hesitate to spend tens of thousands of star coins for comfort.

The Lin family members stood there, as conspicuous as light bulbs in the dark.

Passersby couldn't help but glance at them a few times.

Mr. Lin sat in his wheelchair, holding Mrs. Lin in his arms, completely ignoring the disdainful looks from passersby.

Lin Jingqiu was so engrossed in weaving the handbag that she didn't even look up.

Lin Chiyang leaned against the wall, staring blankly at the dome.

Grandma Lin secretly fed Xinbao purified water, while Lin Xiaohe tore off strips of meat and threw them into her handbag.

This gluttonous girl has eaten 800 pounds of meat and is still growing.

The family used their power to isolate all the passengers in the waiting area.

"Lin Tiesheng?" A bald man, over two meters tall and with a muscular physique, stopped in front of Lin's father.

Mr. Lin stiffened, a look of struggle flashing across his face, but in the end, without looking up, he said, "You've mistaken me for someone else."

The other members of the Lin family stopped what they were doing and looked at the bald man with curiosity.

Lin Chiyang asked Lin Xiaohe in a low voice, "Is he Dad's friend?"

Lin Xiaohe glanced at the bald man's expression, which was excited yet provocative. It didn't seem like a meeting between friends, but rather like a revenge plot.

Perhaps, in the interstellar age, this is what male friendships are like?
Lin Xiaohe hesitated and said, "I think so."

The cover has changed, did you notice? Does it look good?
