Seeing Ares remain silent, Sheng Jiu spoke up, "I need a helper here, someone to do some chores and cleaning. I see the Commander's side has very advanced technology, do you have any powerful robots I could use?"
Although Sheng Jiu's true intention was to ask Ares for help.
But…
How dare she ask a commander to come and work as a handyman?
So, Sheng Jiu considered herself to have taken a more tactful and roundabout approach.
However, her emotions were written all over her face.
When Ares realized what was happening, he could tell what the little girl was thinking just by looking into her expectant eyes.
Under normal circumstances, Ares naturally wouldn't help.
But…
They were currently trapped on a remote, desolate planet, out of ammunition and food, and didn't know when they would be able to contact the operations department.
Although they can fight the Zerg to get food, but it's not a long term solution.
Sheng Jiu was now trying to explore on her own.
What will they do once the little girl manages to acquire Zerg on her own?
Ares had already considered that before contacting the operations department, they needed to come up with a relatively stable way to earn a living in the long run.
Seeing that the Little Boss had a need, Ares shook his head after a moment's thought: "We can't contact the operations department and can't return to the First Planet, so we can't help the Little Boss to get a robot for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu looked disappointed.
Seeing this, Ares smiled slightly and changed the subject, saying, "However, I can't go back for the time being, and I don't have anything else to do. I can help you, Little Boss. I don't want any reward. I just want to ask you for a favor."
Upon hearing this unexpected turn of events, Sheng Jiu was overjoyed: "Tell me quickly."
Ares didn't beat around the bush and pointed upstairs, saying, "My teammates can't get in, and it's inconvenient for me to carry water back and forth. I'd like to ask Little Boss could try to connect a pipe over there so that everyone can wash up more easily."
Going without showering for a day or two is tolerable.
But after a while…
Everyone feels like they're going to stink!
And they exercise intensely everyday, sweating profusely without showering…
Just thinking about it makes them itchy all over.
Previously, they had high tech cleaning beads, one of which could ensure full body cleanliness.
But now they're all used up.
So, showering has become the biggest problem.
Ares himself is alright, he can shamelessly use Sheng Jiu's bathroom.
But his teammates can't get in!
After hearing this, Sheng Jiu was stunned for a moment. Then, realizing what was happening, she mentally asked the system, "Can the pipe be connected over there?"
[Of course.]
[We only screen diners, we don't restrict the host.]
Knowing that the pipe could pass, Sheng Jiu felt much more at ease. She nodded gently: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, to show her sincerity, Sheng Jiu quickly added, "Let's go up and get it done now."
She had just closed her restaurant to rest, so she could do other things.
Ares glanced at the still-uncleaned restaurant and shook his head: "Let's clean up first."
To show his sincerity, Ares quickly added, "I'll take care of it. Little Boss, please rest for a while."
As he spoke, Ares had already started tidying up.
He had never done this before. In the interstellar age, life is almost entirely automated.
There are countless types of home robots.
In fact, if someone wants, they can even have a robot scrub them from head to toe while they shower.
Therefore, Ares wasn't very skilled at housework, but he was willing to help and would proactively ask questions when he didn't understand something.
Sheng Jiu couldn't rest yet, she hadn't finished discussing her appointment with Boss Li next door, and she hadn't tallied up today's accounts.
Now that Ares was helping out, Sheng Jiu felt a bit less pressure.
She first tallied up the sales figures.
Because of the high prices, coupled with the free ingredients, the profits were naturally quite considerable.
However, the newbie bonus only lasts for one month.
After one month, besides basic ingredients like rice, flour, and oil, the system will no longer provide ingredients like meat, eggs, and dairy.
Therefore, Sheng Jiu will need to find a way to obtain the rest herself.
The ingredients from the real world can certainly be used, but the system will determine the final price of the dish based on its quality.
High quality ingredients command higher prices and generate better profits.
Therefore, to increase the value of her labor, she needs to embark on interstellar adventures.
Sheng Jiu thought…
Interstellar Mushrooms would be good.
After reviewing the accounts, Sheng Jiu went to tidy up the refrigerator.
She had reserved quite a bit of squid and shrimp paste.
Besides giving some to her eldest uncle and little aunt, she also planned to send some to her university roommates and friends.
In addition, the shells of the Frosty Water Magical Crab and the Black Shrimp, which the system said were excellent materials, shouldn't be wasted either.
However, she hadn't yet noticed anyone around her who was connected to this.
Thinking of the pile of materials, Sheng Jiu casually asked the system, "What kind of metallic elements do those materials contain?"
Sheng Jiu wants to check if it's rare. If it is, then she'll treat it to some special treats.
If it's not rare, then she'll just leave it for now.
She'll think about making a metal rack later and using it as a storage shelf in the kitchen.
[Mainly: the metal iridium.]
Sheng Jiu: ?
Never heard of it.
She picked up her phone, ready to check.
After seeing that Li Cheng Xiang had mentioned on WeChat that his side had seven students interested in part time jobs for tomorrow, Sheng Jiu first spoke to him about it, then created a group chat and added the seven college students.
Of the seven students, five were male and two were female.
To prove their part time job skills, the five students even took a group photo and sent it to Sheng Jiu.
After seeing the photo, Sheng Jiu felt like her head was about to explode.
She definitely needed a group of tall, strong men to help her unfurl the banner and annoy her little uncle.
But aren't the outfits of the five male college students a bit too down to earth?
They were wearing zombie costumes, which were a bit small and stretched taut by their powerful muscles, making them look bulky and strong enough to cause trouble.
Sheng Jiu tried not to look at their clothes too much, asked about their situation, and briefly explained their job duties.
This job might be like hell for an introverted person (i).
But for an extrovert (e)...
Aya!
We've got a job, guys!
Two girls, both over 1.7 meters tall.
The two girls came because they were incredibly talkative, a fact Sheng Jiu noticed while interacting with them…
Because they were so talkative, they wouldn't stop talking for at least 60 seconds.
Sheng Jiu thought 60 seconds was the limit for voice communication, but not their limit!
They can type a short essay in a flash, and their typing speed is amazing!
Sheng Jiu felt that she was a young person herself, so why couldn't she keep up with the pace?
After arranging the part time job with them, Sheng Jiu was about to look into the metal-related matters when she heard Ares's voice from the kitchen: "Little Boss, what's this for?"
