Certainly, there's no escaping! Although Bai Tang can fly and use the "Swift Travel" skill, she is unfamiliar with the routes, and with future technology covering the entire planet, even if she runs away, she will still be found.
Bai Tang endured the heartache and handed over half of her earnings from selling food to the Mechanical City Management, feeling a pang in her heart. Fortunately, after paying the fine, she still had half of her money left; otherwise, it would have been a day of working for nothing. Bai Tang dared not stay in the Park any longer; she tossed her stove and tools into her bag and left the Park amidst the elders' lamentations.
Several elderly people were reluctant to see her go and suggested that she rent a storefront nearby to sell Baked Sweet Potatoes and Caterpillar Potatoes. Heh, who among the elderly doesn't have an appetite?
Bai Tang politely declined but mentioned that she would be opening an Online Store specializing in gourmet food, inviting them to purchase online if they wanted to eat.
Grandpa Lin asked Bai Tang when her Online Store would open.
Bai Tang calculated the time: "I plan to settle in Blue Star, and I should be able to open the Online Store in about half a month."
"What's your store called?" Tiger's Grandmother quickly asked; she wouldn't let this girl leave without knowing.
"Well, it's called 'Huaxia Eatery,'" Bai Tang thought for a moment and replied. The culture of Chinese cuisine has a long history; how could it be severed in the future? Since she has come to this world, she will surely promote Chinese culinary culture here.
"Huaxia Eatery, nice name!" The elderly people didn't fully understand the meaning of "Huaxia," but they thought it was a good name and praised it, urging Bai Tang to hurry up and open her store without delay.
Bai Tang repeatedly promised to speed up and walked out of the Park. Wiping away sweat, Bai Tang exhaled; these Grandpas and Grandmas were too enthusiastic—it was overwhelming!
Bai Tang did not take the Hover Car but walked along Route 11 in one direction. She walked easily but was unaware of the storm that Baked Sweet Potatoes and Caterpillar Potatoes had stirred up in this area. The elderly took these two foods home for their children to try; after tasting them, the Young People praised them highly. Unlike the elders, they were not so reserved; they excitedly shared their thoughts with others and actively sought out the makers of these two delicacies. More and more people became curious about what kind of deliciousness could leave so many people longing for it. These individuals also joined in the search for the creator, hoping to taste the food made by their hands. The Huaxia Eatery had not yet opened, but its reputation was already spreading!
Bai Tang walked into a passage between two buildings. The passage was over six meters wide but was quite dark due to the tall buildings blocking out light. Bai Tang stopped in the middle of the passage and chuckled lightly: "You've been following me for so long; come out!"
"Lady, hand over your space bag and money if you know what's good for you!" Two shady men revealed themselves, holding what appeared to be guns—likely weapons from this world.
Oh no! A robbery!
"What if I refuse?" Bai Tang smiled at them, completely unconcerned about their weapons. She could easily knock out pirates piloting Starships; why would she fear two robbers who seemed utterly unthreatening? Their weapons? The weapons on a Starship are far more powerful than those two insignificant guns.
"Then don't blame us for being ruthless!" one of the men, a Thin Man, said viciously as he raised his arm, aiming his gun at Bai Tang.
"Hey, hey, Thin Man, don't be impulsive! Be gentle with the beautiful lady!" The fat man pressed his left hand on Thin Man's weapon, his lecherous gaze falling on Bai Tang's chest, sighing inwardly: This woman looks good, but unfortunately, she is flat-chested.
Bai Tang scoffed inwardly. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were useful, she would have already gouged out the fat man's eyes.
"Beautiful lady, I don't want to hurt you. Just hand over the money you've earned today! Oh, and we also want seven or eight portions of those two dishes you made!" They had long set their sights on Bai Tang and had caught a whiff of the enticing aroma of roasted sweet potatoes, causing their mouths to water as they decided to rob her while also getting her to make them some tasty food.
"I do have roasted sweet potatoes and yam potatoes. If you want to eat them, you'll need to trade me for money or something else that satisfies me!" Bai Tang leisurely took out two roasted sweet potatoes from her backpack. The sweet aroma wafted into the noses of the two robbers, making them swallow hard.
"Throw the roasted... sweet potatoes over here!" Thin Man threatened, shaking the gun's muzzle.
Bai Tang smiled slightly and put the sweet potatoes back in her backpack.
"How dare you play us!" Thin Man was furious. However, instead of shooting, he charged directly at Bai Tang. This action improved Bai Tang's impression of them; she changed her mind from wanting to beat them half to death to just teaching them a lesson by turning them into pig heads.
Bai Tang dodged Thin Man's punch, feeling the wind from his fist brush past her ear and snip a few strands of hair. She marveled at how strong the body of a future person was; even a robber's Combat Power was comparable to that of Yuan Mingyi.
Raising her right hand, Bai Tang gently grabbed Thin Man's hand. He pulled back violently but couldn't escape her grip. Alarmed, he realized he had encountered a master and quickly shouted to the fat man: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help!"
"Oh!" The fat man finally reacted to Bai Tang's high combat power. He raised his gun at her and fired a destructive laser beam toward her. Unfortunately, it didn't hit Bai Tang. Instead, a transparent light shield appeared in front of her, blocking the laser.
"A psychic powerhouse!" The fat man was shocked; they had foolishly attempted to rob a psychic powerhouse. Judging by how this woman could conjure a light shield, she was at least a level nine strong.
The fat man and Thin Man felt bitter in their hearts and secretly complained about Bai Tang: Why would a level nine or above psychic powerhouse not enjoy the generous benefits of the Alliance in Capital Star, working for the military instead of coming to this border planet, Gaiter Star, to engage in petty crime? Wasn't she just messing with them?
Bai Tang threw a punch that sent Thin Man flying. With another punch, she sent the fat man flying as well. The two groaned as they got up from the ground, half their faces swollen like pig heads—one on the left and one on the right, very symmetrical.
"Sister, no, Big Sister, we were wrong! Please spare our lives!" The fat man spat out blood along with his big teeth; speaking caused air to leak through his mouth.
"I'm not going to kill you!" Bai Tang beckoned with her finger. The two men wore bitter faces but had no choice but to slowly move in front of Bai Tang.
Bai Tang took out the roasted sweet potatoes again and also grabbed two more servings of silkworm potatoes, waving them in front of the two men. "Take me to the black market, and these food items will be your reward!"
The Fat Man and Thin Man exchanged glances, and the Fat Man bent slightly at the waist. "We only know where the black market is, but we don't have the qualifications to enter."
"That's fine, just take me there. How to get in, I'll figure it out myself!"
The two robbers breathed a sigh of relief; they were just two thugs and had no right to enter the black market.
"Please follow us!" The Fat Man eagerly led the way for Bai Tang, his half-swollen pig-like face looking comical.
Where there is light, there is darkness. Even after five thousand years, dark forces have not disappeared. Although the current federal government manages the alliance well, the trend of interests and gray areas has not been eliminated; in fact, they have become even stronger than five thousand years ago.
Once they got into the hover car, Bai Tang tossed a bottle of low-grade red medicine to the two men. The Fat Man and Thin Man looked at Bai Tang in confusion.
"It's for healing," Bai Tang said calmly. "You two look quite unsightly right now; it's affecting the city's appearance!"
The Fat Man and Thin Man felt indignant; wasn't it you who beat us up like this? However, they dared not speak out and could only silently grumble.
"Aren't you going to drink it? Afraid I poisoned it?" Bai Tang raised an eyebrow.
"Just drink it! Just drink it!" The Fat Man was so scared that he immediately shoved the bottle into his mouth and gulped down most of the low-grade red medicine. The taste wasn't bad; it had a hint of sweetness.
"Don't drink it all; your companion still needs healing!" Bai Tang reminded the Fat Man.
The Fat Man hurriedly moved the bottle away and handed it to Thin Man.
Thin Man glanced at Bai Tang, picked up the bottle, and drank all the red medicine in one go. Neither of them worried about Bai Tang poisoning them; this woman had high combat power and could easily crush them like ants—there was no need to deceive them.
As soon as the medicine went down, Thin Man felt a warm sensation throughout his body, and his swollen face began to itch. He was surprised as he touched his face; the feeling in his hand confirmed that his swelling had gone down. Thin Man turned to look at the Fat Man, and sure enough, the Fat Man's chubby face was smooth and even, with even the scar from before having disappeared.
“Thin Man, what happened to your face?” the Fat Man noticed something unusual and stared at Thin Man in shock.
“Has the swelling gone down?” Thin Man asked calmly.
“No, it’s more than that…” the Fat Man stammered. “You, you’ve also healed from the burns caused by Zhang the Boss!”
The two exchanged glances and bowed to Bai Tang: “Thank you!”
Bai Tang smiled lightly and turned to look out at the scenery, ignoring the two again. The medical technology in Future World is advanced; gene repair fluid can quickly heal wounds, comparable to the effects of a Low-Level Healing Potion. The two must have mistaken the Low-Level Healing Potion for gene repair fluid. As for why they still had scars, it was simply because they couldn’t afford the gene repair fluid.
There are many rich people in Future World, but there are also plenty of poor ones.
After transferring twice, the three arrived in front of an old building. The Fat Man and Thin Man stopped and said to Bai Tang: “Up ahead is the black market. We can’t go in, so can we leave first?”
Bai Tang nodded, pulled out four Baked Sweet Potatoes and two servings of Caterpillar Potatoes from his backpack, tossed them to the two, and turned to walk toward the building's Main Gate.
As soon as the Fat Man saw Bai Tang walk away, he immediately broke off a piece of Sweet Potato and took a bite: “Delicious! So good! Thin Man, you have to try this! This Baked Sweet Potato is the best food I’ve ever eaten.”
