The Entire Interstellar is Watching What I Eat

Chapter 2.2

Ji He was baffled by this society. From this show to the appearance of the outside described by Wang Xuan, it should be a place where technology had developed rapidly. Why was it that people here seemed to not know so many things that should be common sense?

“Your nutrient solution.” Ji He didn’t enter the bamboo forest. He stopped between the bamboo forest and the river, put the backpack down behind him, and dug out something similar to what he thought nutrient solution should look like.

Wang Xuan stood in the bamboo forest and saw that Ji He didn’t come over. He couldn’t bear to leave behind the nutrient solution in Ji He’s hand, so he could only grit his teeth and walk over.

As a newcomer, Ji He had the benefits of a newcomer at the beginning. He had a total of twenty five nutrient solutions which would allow him to spend the first fifteen days safely, but it wasn’t enough to be cocky about. If Ji He used it recklessly at the beginning and his viewer count wasn’t high by the time distribution day came about, it might be troublesome later.

As Wang Xuan had guessed before though, Ji He didn’t lack viewers. The stick he had hit Wang Xuan with at the beginning attracted a lot of viewers to his livestream. Later, as a newcomer, he didn’t choose a tree under Wang Xuan’s suggestion. Instead, he took Wang Xuan to the riverside, which resulted in even more viewers entering his livestream room.

As Ji He had promised before, he took two packets of nutrient solution and handed them to Wang Xuan, “I owe you three more, and I’ll give you one a day.”

“Okay!” Wang Xuan didn’t mind. He didn’t care whether Ji He kept his promise or not. He originally wanted to pick on the newbie, but he didn’t expect to be beaten up. The fact that he was both alive and eating nutrient solution made him very satisfied.

He put one packet of nutrient solution in the pack around his waist, and the other was torn open and was about to be poured into his mouth. Ji He reached out his hand to stop it.

“Give me a taste.”

“?” Wang Xuan didn’t understand, but under Ji He’s pressure he poured a little nutrient solution into Ji He’s hand. Seeing that Ji He didn’t ask him for any more, he drank the rest all in one breath. Afterwards Wang Xuan touched his stomach contentedly.

Now, the one that Ji He gave him plus the ten that he had saved prior to their settlement would at least allow him to live a good life during this time.

If it was true that Ji He would give him one every day, then he would have fourteen! By saving a little, you could live a long time.

Ji He had asked for some nutrient solution. He first smelled it, but there was no smell. Seeing Wang Xuan’s satisfied expression, Ji He licked it.

“…” Ji He began to be glad that he only asked for a little. This nutrient solution looked the same as water, but he didn’t expect it to taste so musty.

He looked at Wang Xuan, who seemed to still be thinking about it. Could it be a problem with his own perception?

“Wang Xuan, does all nutrient solution taste like this?”

“All of ours is like this. We can only eat the lowest-level nutrient solution. Ah, I tell you, before I came in, I ate a kind of nutrient cream product they have which can keep you sated for long time. It’s said that all soldiers in the army eat that kind of cream.”

Ji He was silent. He originally wanted to save some nutrient solution to eat later himself, but now that he had tasted it Ji He decided that this so-called ‘good thing’ should be left entirely to Wang Xuan.

“I need to go in to the bamboo forest. You wait for me here first.” Ji He made a decisive decision and took out another nutrient solution for Wang Xuan.

“Boss, what’s this for?” Wang Xuan took the nutrient solution with trembling hands. Don’t mention running away, Wang Xuan had no such idea left at all!

“I still have a lot of questions to ask you, but it’s getting late, so you can stay for a few more days.” Ji He felt that it wasn’t a loss to exchange things he didn’t want for some information.

Wang Xuan also felt that it wasn’t a loss. He patted his chest and assured: “I’ve lived here for a long time, and I’ll know the answers to any questions that boss wants to ask!”

“Okay.” Ji He put the backpack on his back again, held the small shovel taken out from the tool bag in his hand, and helped Wang Xuan untie the knotted rope from around his wrists.

“I’m going to go in to the bamboo forest to find something.”
