Chapter 255 UFO Malfunction, Unable to Reach

Lee Ki recalled the ultimate answer to Earth's culinary delights in his mind.

"It's the ultimate answer to Earth's culinary delights: a steamed bun with rice porridge inside, rice porridge with dumplings inside, dumplings with wontons inside, wontons with rice balls inside, and rice balls with hand-pulled noodles inside."

Senior Luo Bo's eyes lit up.

"You remember every single ingredient; it seems you really enjoy it."

"I regret remembering it, no, I'm honored to remember it. This thing sold like hotcakes?"

“That’s right. The town of Earth was not doing well, and the savings my parents left me were almost gone.”

Suddenly, Luo Bo gazed at Li Ji with deep affection, his round eyes shimmering with blue light.

Li Ji felt a chill run down his spine and unconsciously moved to the side.

“After you ate here last time, your high praise encouraged me greatly. There are still people in this world who appreciate me. I decided to try again. I put the ultimate answer to Earth's cuisine on a food delivery platform, and to my surprise, it sold out immediately, with an astonishingly high repurchase rate.”

Lee Ki opened the food delivery platform in disbelief, and the number one food on the Milwall province's food ranking list was "The Ultimate Answer to Earth's Cuisine".

The comments section was filled with "black hole-level" positive reviews, which is the highest level of positive reviews.

The repeated breaking down and recombination of carbohydrates is incredibly surprising and a true masterpiece of deconstructivist aesthetics.

"It is indeed a kind of deconstructionism, but where is the beauty?"

[It tastes great, much better than carbohydrate supplements]

"Aren't the requirements a bit too low?"

The taste is very good, similar to my dad's.

"Does your dad make this kind of thing too? Wait a minute."

Li Ji read the sentence again, word by word: "Similar to my father's taste? Even Oedipus would have to call you Hannibal!"

"How come your dad tastes similar to this thing? What kind of species is your dad?"

Li Ji glanced at the signature: 【Lonely Barley Boy】

Suddenly, he could understand what his father tasted like, and he could also understand what loneliness meant.

He glanced again at the price of "The Ultimate Answer to Earth's Cuisine".

"35 Alliance Coins!"

"How many!"

Startled, Shark pounced on the back row.

The two checked it over and over again to confirm that it was indeed 35 Alliance Coins.

Delicious like a rainbow waterfall, and only 10 Alliance Coins per serving.

How can a carb meeting be sold for 35 Alliance Coins?

"Senior, isn't this price a bit too high-end?"

"I don't really know how to do business. The initial price was 5 Alliance Coins, and it sold so well that I couldn't keep up with demand. So I gradually started raising the price. Finally, I raised it to 35, and found that I made more money than before. Doing business is too complicated, and I don't understand it. I just want to make money and build up my Earth Town."

"Senior, you're too modest. May I ask what your current income level is?"

Luo Bo gave Li Ji a meaningful look.

Li Ji quickly explained, "If I said something wrong, just pretend I didn't ask."

Radish laughed: "The greatest hobby of Earthlings is 'asking about other people's income.' Another great characteristic of Earthlings' language skills is playing hard to get. You've mastered both quite well; you truly are my confidant."

"You flatter me, senior. Maybe it's just my habit." As an Earthling, Li Ji was still prone to revealing his habits.

Luo Bo generously explained, "I don't know how much money I've made yet. Mainly because I don't know how to calculate costs. Anyway, I can sell about 2,000 servings online every day. I can sell about 3000 servings offline."

"There are still physical stores? It's not easy to run a physical store these days."

"I don't know much about it either, but business is pretty good. I already have four offline snack shops in Milvor Province, and I'll be opening a fifth one soon. This time, I'm here to purchase cargo ships for transporting raw materials."

"Wait a minute, are you here to purchase a cargo spaceship?"

"Yes."

Li Ji originally thought that Senior Luo Bo was the buyer of his spaceship, but he didn't expect that he wasn't.

It's amazing that business is so good in that run-down place, with two customers at the same time.

"Aren't you planning to get a new car?"

Senior Radish chuckled and shook the green cabbage leaf on his head: "That's stuff for you young people. I'm past the age of chasing after luxury ships. I experienced them when I was younger, but I sold them later for the sake of Earth Town. Now it seems there's not much difference between luxury spaceships and old flying saucers." After saying that, Radish suddenly jumped, his head hitting the top of the flying saucer, causing it to bounce upwards.

Li Ji and Sha Bao looked at him with surprise.

He chuckled sheepishly, "The UFO seat is really worn out, it's a bit itchy on my bottom, I have to lift it up occasionally, sorry."

"It's alright, senior is so frugal."

The UFO traveled through the vast volcanic clouds, its glass dome shrouded in a hazy gray, and even the inside of the UFO became dark.

Senior Brother Radish called out, "Assistant, turn on the light for me."

No response.

"This AI seems to be getting old and a bit outdated. I'll press it manually."

Radish scanned the control panel with his eyes and finally locked onto a spring, which was exactly where the button had popped out earlier.

He used the green leaves on his head to retrieve the fallen button.

Lee Ki asked worriedly, "Will this really work, senior?"

"no problem."

Radish confidently shoved the button back in.

The three of them looked up at the same time.

A moment of silence.

It was still pitch black.

"It's completely useless!"

"Maybe I didn't press hard enough. Can someone with the strength help me try?"

Shark Baby volunteered excitedly and rushed to the front row: "I'll do it!"

Li Ji flicked his hand, sending him flying back.

"There's no need for that! Safety is the most important thing. I'm afraid Shark might accidentally smash the UFO. Given the toxic gas situation, we're both probably in grave danger."

"Actually, I can occasionally inhale some volcanic ash, which has a high carbon dioxide content. Inhaling a little sulfur dioxide occasionally is also good for me."

"But I can't come."

"Forget it then."

"Senior, how about we leave the indoor lighting like this? Why don't you try to improve the outdoor visibility? The dust on this glass seems to have accumulated to five centimeters."

The glass dome of the UFO was covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, making it impossible to see anything.

"That's easy, the wiper button isn't broken."

Radish confidently pressed the button again.

A strange noise suddenly came from the glass.

A circular wiper blade can be seen tapering upwards from the bottom of the windshield.

Slowly scrape away the volcanic ash underneath, and a faint light seeps in.

"It seems to really work."

The three of them watched excitedly as the windshield wipers slowly rose.

"Click——"

The windshield wiper suddenly broke, and the part underneath that had been cleared was covered with a layer of dust again.

The light source disappeared again, and the light in the eyes of the three people also disappeared.

"The wiper button isn't broken, but the wipers are. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Senior, are we really going to get there?"

"Don't worry, at least the positioning is accurate."

On the locator on the panel, the flying saucer is slowly approaching the finish line.

Li Ji took out his communicator to check his location, only to find that the UFO was heading in the opposite direction from the destination.

"The location isn't accurate either!"
