Chapter 2523: Like Every Other Person on This Planet

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Ning Shu rummaged through the garbage for a while but found nothing. Her hands were black from the filth that she touched, which now covered her entire hand.

Ning Shu shook her head and clucked her tongue. It’d be great if she had some fasting pills right now.

However, since the system marketplace was not accessible, she had no way to exchange things that were necessary for her survival here.

In other words, she had to live just like every other person on this planet.

She had to enthusiastically welcome the spacecraft that came to dump their garbage, and then swarm around the garbage to find something to eat.

There might be a lot of food in freshly dumped garbage.

Food scraps, leftovers… If they were lucky, one might even find some expired food that hadn’t been opened yet.

These things were trash to people on other planets. However, people on Planet Sehlde considered them treasures.

If they could find nutrient solution among the garbage, then they’ve hit the jackpot!

Nutrient solution could supply the human body with all the energy that it needed. They would be able to go without food for several days.

For the people on Planet Sehlde, such a thing was something from the legends. It’d be a miracle if they could find it.

Ning Shu sighed. Should she go home now or continue digging through the garbage?

Nevermind. She should just try cultivating again…

Ning Shu hadn’t given up yet. She sat on the ground and began to cultivate the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.

After cultivating for a long time, Ning Shu weakly opened her eyes.

Ning Shu: F*-f*-f*-f*-f*ck!!

Ning Shu had never encountered such a situation before. She had thought that the spiritual energy in modern task worlds was already as low as it could be.

This, though, really broadened her perspectives.

The spiritual energy in modern task worlds now seemed plenty in comparison to this task world. On top of that, they also had fresh air.

Ning Shu had failed to find anything and decided to just go home.

One by one, she passed the towering garbage mountains. After much struggle, she finally reached the place where the original host lived.

Ning Shu: …

She thought that her system space was as shabby as they came. She didn’t expect to ever have to live somewhere even worse.

The house was made of cloth, and supported by some sticks. Indeed, it was more a small tent rather than a house.

There was garbage everywhere surrounding it.

In fact, the tent stood at the foot of a mountain of trash.

Ning Shu inwardly sighed. No matter where you were in the world, there were always people struggling to survive.

However, who knew what the people of Sehlde were living for?

Ning Shu walked to the tent. Fortunately for her, she was short and could enter the tent without having to bend over or crouch.

It was a bit dark inside the tent. Ning Shu heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling toward her and turned around. She saw a person, who was sitting in a wheelchair, coming out of the darkness.

The boy was probably around nine years old. He was pale, and his clothes were dirty, but his hands and face were clean.

The wheelchair was something that they had found in the garbage and patched up. It was very difficult to push.

The boy sitting on it should be the original host’s younger brother, Alviss.

Alviss was very thin. He had really pale, nearly transparent skin, probably due to his lack of exposure to the sun and his malnutrition.

Alviss had a pair of blue eyes. Seeing his eyes was like seeing the ocean. They were pure blue, shimmering, and clear, and they seemed to shine.

Coupled with his pale face, his eyes gave him an indescribable sense of melancholy.

Alviss saw Ning Shu coming home with empty hands and said, “You didn’t find anything to eat.”

A little depressedly, Ning Shu said, “I found half of a piece of bread, but some brats snatched it away from me.”
