<h4>Chapter 106</h4>


    "Big brother, go ahead and attend to your business. We can handle the rest ourselves," Zhi Xia said, expressing her gratitude to the others as well.


    After they all left, Zhi Xia went to fetch water and clean the table.


    Pei Jing took his tools and repaired any ws in the table and stools.


    "Where did you get these from? You came back so quickly," Zhi Xia asked them in surprise. Although the table and cab seemed a bit old, the wood was in good condition, made of authentic yellow rosewood.


    "We bought them from a junkyard. They may be a bit worn out, but with some repairs, they can still be used. Besides, they are affordable. Customizing new ones would be expensive, and it would take some time to make them," Pei Jing exined, without pausing his actions. "By the way, I also brought some old newspapers and books. We can make some pasteter and wallpaper the wall near the window to prevent dust from falling."


    Unlike thetex paint of the future, the lime used for wallpapering now easily rubbed off, leaving a dusty residue when touched.


    "Alright, I''ll clean the table first and then prepare the paste," Zhi Xia said. Just as she finished speaking, Sister Fengxia approached and immediately joined in, helping with the work. Zhi Xia felt a bit embarrassed by her generosity.


    But she was genuinely a good person, cheerful and generous, and Zhi Xia was grateful to have met such a person.


    After wiping the table and cab, and upon learning that Zhi Xia would be preparing the paste, Sister Fengxia insisted on taking over and asked Zhi Xia to pack their belongings instead.


    The cab that Pei Jing brought back was not small, and she managed to ce both their belongings inside, only taking up a quarter of the space.


    Of course, it was also because they didn''t have many possessions.


    They worked tirelessly until evening, and Zhi Xia looked at Lin Fengxia gratefully. "Thank you so much for today, Sister. Once we''re done with everything in a couple of days, we must invite you and Wu Tuan over for a celebratory drink. You have to show up for that."


    "Sure, I can''t refuse that," Lin Fengxia chuckled. "It''s gettingte, and I need to go back and cook. You two should eat and rest as well."


    After Lin Fengxia left, Zhi Xia let out a sigh and sat on the bed.


    Pei Jing came in from outside and heard her asking, "Are you tired? How are you feeling?"


    "I''m fine, just a bit sore in the waist. Resting for a while will make it better," Zhi Xia replied and asked, "What should we have for dinner tonight?"


    "The kitchen isn''t fully organized yet. I''ll go to the canteen and get some food for us to make do," Pei Jing suggested. "And you, if you''re tired, don''t worry about it. I''ll take care of the rest."


    Zhi Xia smiled and said, "Don''t worry, I''m not that delicate."


    "It''s not about being delicate. It''s just that your health is different now, and you need to take extra care," Pei Jing reminded her.


    When they arrived, both of their grandfathers had repeatedly emphasized this, and even without their reminders, he should take good care of her and not let her tire herself out.


    After spending two or three days, they finally managed to tidy up the house properly.


    Originally, she had nned to host a gathering for herrades and neighbors, but Pei Jing received a sudden mission and left in the afternoon. With the house all tidied up, Zhi Xia finally found herself with some free time.


    Being alone at home, she suddenly felt an overwhelming silence.


    For the past few days, she had been avoiding going into the space for fear of Pei Jing discovering it. So as soon as he left, she entered the space through the hidden door.


    Inside, she found a package of crystal cores, worth a whopping 5,000 Star Coins.


    "Sister, you mentioned having a friend from the interster realm. Can you help me obtain some information about humans venturing into space? Our situation here is quite dire. The has been ravaged by various mutated species and is no longer suitable for human habitation. We have already detected others that could be suitable for resettlement, but our technology is stillcking. Please, I''m begging for your help."


    The affluent woman from a different era replied, "I do have an interster friend, but she belongs to the Insect n. I''m not sure if she can assist you. Wait a moment, let me ask."


    Zhi Xia turned and asked the Queen of the Insect n, only to be questioned in return about what she could offer in exchange.


    There was a moment of silence from Zhi Xia.


    Indeed, for the Queen of the Insect n, the only valuable thing she could provide was nts. However, she had already promised to provide enough food to sustain her throughout the breeding period.


    After a while, a sudden thought struck her. "Do you need mutated nts? Although the quantity may not be significant."


    The Queen of the Insect n responded, "What kind of mutated nts? Show me first."


    Zhi Xia asked "I''m Not a Zombie" to obtain mutated nts and sent them to the Queen of the Insect n.


    After a moment, the Queen of the Insect n replied, "We can trade. How many mutated nts can you provide?"


    She had discovered that mutated nts contained a kind of energy that could enhance her reproductive speed, allowing her colony to grow rapidly.


    The affluent woman from a different era said, "I can''t give you an exact number because these nts are of no use to me, and they are dangerous to harvest due to their destructive nature. I can only tell you that I can provide as many as I can harvest within a month."


    The Queen of the Insect n said, "Deal, but I need them as soon as possible."


    Along with her response came a wristwatch.


    "This is the development trajectory of the interster realm from our side. It contains a wealth of information that might be useful to you."


    Zhi Xia took the watch and studied it herself, discovering that it contained the history of various species'' journey from their homes to the interster realm. There were also many other things she couldn''t understand or exin based on her existing knowledge.


    But to her surprise, she realized that the interster realm was not only inhabited by humans and the Insect n but also by many other species, such as zombies and vampires. There were even beastmen. These species had their own strengths and weaknesses and were distributed across different star systems based on their living conditions. Typically, they didn''t bother each other, although asional conflicts between certain groups could not be entirely ruled out.


    Among them, the Insect n is the weakest, but they possess the strongest reproductive ability. The Queen of the Insect n belongs to the herbivorous insect species, and Zhi Xia knows this well. After all, it has always relied on nts for food.


    Zombies and Vampires are the longest-lived, but theyck the ability to reproduce on their own. They can only propagate through blood transmission, which leads to their rejection and hunting by humans. Beastmen have the strongest physical strength but lower intelligence, and their reproductive ability is average. Humans, although seemingly weaker, are intelligent beings with strong reproductive capabilities, hence they dominate the interster realm.


    After sending the requirements of the Queen of the Insect n and the Artificial Intelligence to me, Zhi Xia, who is not a zombie, received her agreement and a pleasantly surprised response.


    "I''m Not a Zombie: Sister, I really love you so much. You''ve helped me a lot."


    This AI contains a vast amount of knowledge. As long as their researchers can fullyprehend it, it would bring immeasurable benefits to the entire human race.


    Zhi Xia spent 1000 Star Coins to activate the item disy cab. She set it up so that the nts sent from "I''m Not a Zombie" would automatically be converted and disyed in the cab. She also set the selling price to zero so that the Queen of the Insect n could ce orders herself, with Zhi Xia acting as an intermediary.


    Of course, she could also set it up so that others couldn''t ce orders. This interdimensional trading device is truly extraordinary. It seems like there''s nothing it can''t do as long as you have Star Coins.


    Once this was settled, Zhi Xia went to ask the Divine Doctor Sister, "Sister, do you have any scar removal cream that can be used during pregnancy?"


    The scars on her back and legs were somewhat unsightly. Although they couldn''t be seen now because of the cold weather and her clothes, there would be times when she needed to undress at night.


    The Divine Doctor Sister replied, "How severe is it? I need to see it before I can make a conclusion, and you''re in the pregnancy period, so we need to be cautious about medication."


    Zhi Xia used her phone to take pictures of the scars on her back and sent them to the Divine Doctor Sister. After seeing them, the Divine Doctor Sister came to a conclusion, "The ones on your back are not too severe and can be treated with medication. It should take about half a month to remove them. However, the ones on your legs are slightly more severe, and it will probably take a little over a month."


    The Divine Doctor Sister said she would prepare the medicine first and then give it to her.
