Chapter 60: Will I Not Live Long?

Mo Qianxun sighed as she looked at the familiar black and white world. What a coincidence! It turns out that the first planet she clicked on when watching the video was Carter.

"The prince should live in the palace, but he's also a researcher. Could he be at the research institute? Neither of those places are places I can just walk into!" Mo Qianxun rode her modified electric scooter, following the navigation.

【…Host, haven't you noticed something's a little strange?】

"Strange?" Mo Qianxun, who had been watching the road, looked around and then noticed the anomaly.

"008, are they all watching me?"

[Heh, host, you've finally noticed! In this predominantly black and white world, how could you not attract attention riding a pink electric scooter and wearing camouflage clothing?]

Mo Qianxun glanced at her clothes and electric scooter: "What should we do then?"

"It's alright, host. They'll just take a look. They probably won't be impressed by the technology of your little electric scooter. As for the clothes, although the color isn't black and white, it's still quite dark. They probably won't like it. Don't worry!" 008 comforted him.

Mo Qianxun looked at the car blocking her way and swallowed hard: "I think you're speaking too soon."

008: ( ̄(エ) ̄) That's so disrespectful.

A man dressed like a nouveau riche got out of the expensive-looking car that was blocking Mo Qianxun's way.

"Little girl, I've got my eye on your car. I'll give you a thousand star coins to sell it to me." The man circled Mo Qianxun's car twice, his eyes full of admiration.

Mo Qianxun: ( ̄(エ) ̄) Where did this idiot come from?

"Excuse me, I'm not selling. I have something urgent to attend to. Please make way."

The man's expression changed drastically: "Little girl, do you know who I am? I am the third young master of the Victor family. Do you know the consequences of offending me?"

"The Victor family? Are they very powerful? I'm sorry, I didn't know. Sir, I really have important business to attend to, please make way."

"What if I don't let you?"

Mo Qianxun ( ̄(エ) ̄) Ugh, troublesome.

Mo Qianxun stretched her wrists and put on her hat.

The man thought Mo Qianxun was going to fight him, and he was already prepared to spar with her, but then...

Mo Qianxun rode her electric scooter and sped away, bypassing the luxury car.

If you won't let me, I'll at least go around you.

Man: ⊙﹏⊙ No, they ran away already?
A man in black approached: "Young master, shall we go after them?"

"What are you chasing? Go, find out about that woman! I don't even have a car that brightly colored! Find out which manufacturer made this kind of vibrant paint. I want to paint my car like that too! Wait, the clothes she's wearing... they can't be black and white, can they?!" The man was shocked. When did colored paint become allowed on clothes?

The interstellar world hasn't had such vibrant colors for a long time. Although some crystals are colorful, they can only be used as ornaments and cannot be used elsewhere. Therefore, most buildings are made of the most primitive black and gray building materials. Later, a white paint was discovered, but it is limited to these two colors.

Moreover, since clothes come into contact with the skin, the materials used are even more critical. Nowadays, clothes are mostly black and white, but although the color she wore just now was dark, it was definitely not black and white.

Mo Qianxun glanced back and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no car was following.

After finally reaching the vicinity of the customer, they were stopped.

Mo Qianxun gave an awkward smile at the two armed guards in front of her. "Brothers, I really didn't mean to break in. I... I'll call my customer right now and have him come out and pick up the goods." She reached out and pulled the two gun barrels pointing at her to the sides. Seeing that Mo Qianxun really didn't intend to go in, the two guards lowered their guns, but still watched her warily.

Mo Qianxun made a phone call to her current customer, Yairo Rad.

At this moment, Yairo, who was conducting an experiment, looked at the suddenly appearing light screen and the call request on the screen, and silently tapped to connect.

"Hello, is this Mr. Yairo Rad? Your takeout has been delivered to the entrance of the research institute, but I can't get in. Could you please come out and pick it up?" A pleasant female voice came through the phone.

Yairo raised an eyebrow, a flicker of excitement in his eyes, but quickly returned to calm: "Wait a moment!"

After hanging up the phone, Mo Qianxun took the cardboard box out of her Qiankun bag.

The potted plant was packed in a cardboard box with an opening at the top so customers could easily open it to check the contents.

Soon, a man wearing a white lab coat and sporting short, silver-gray hair appeared.

As the man walked to the gate, the guards on both sides quickly saluted.

Yairo didn't notice the two guards' actions; his eyes were fixed on the box in Mo Qianxun's hand.

"Is the stuff in here really, really the thing I ordered?" Yairo suppressed his inner anticipation.

"Of course, I'm honest and trustworthy. If you're still unsure, you can confirm it first."

With trembling hands, Yairo opened the top of the cardboard box and looked inside. Just one glance was enough to make his heart feel like it was about to jump out of his chest.

"It's true, it's really true." Yairo suddenly clenched the clothes at his chest, looking like he couldn't breathe properly.

"Hey, are you alright? Are you alright? Relax, don't get agitated." Mo Qianxun quickly freed one hand to pat him on the back.

The two guards beside him were also frightened and at a loss when they saw Yairo's actions.

After calming down, Yairo pulled Mo Qianxun into the research institute.

"Hey, wait, wait a minute, my bike!" Mo Qianxun quickly put the electric scooter back into her Qiankun bag.

"So you also have a spatial hub. I wonder which family you are from? And do you really have all those things on that platform?" Yairo assumed that Mo Qianxun was a young lady from some reclusive family, after all, spatial hubs are not cheap.

"I am from the land of flowers, not from your world. As for the plants on the platform, we have them all, as many as you want."

Yairo stopped and carefully examined Mo Qianxun: "No wonder, no wonder you don't have any characteristics of the manic gene. So, you're not from this world!"

"The manic gene?"

Yairo sighed and led Mo Qianxun to an office.

"Our world is now invaded by dark matter in every corner, including our bodies. When dark matter enters the body, it will cause the development of manic genes. Normally, these manic genes are in a calm state, but if the amount of dark matter absorbed exceeds the limit and is not expelled in time, they will be activated, and the person will enter a manic phase until death. Therefore, people in interstellar space usually do not live long."

Looking at the man who might die young, Mo Qianxun couldn't help but ask, "How long can they usually live?"

"Under normal circumstances, it's around 150 years, or around 120 years for a soldier."

Mo Qianxun, at best, will live to be around 100 years old: (*)
