Interstellar Journey after Rebirth
Chapter 60: Tell the Patriarch
This question shocked Mo Jiang because this news was not widely known.
Only those who live on the main planet, or the main lineage members of a large family, know that the upper class people eat cultivated food, not nutrient solution, nutrient paste or nutrient pills.
Mo Jiang began to wonder how Chen Si knew this secret.
Chen Si's questions were like a series of artillery shells, leaving Mo Jiang overwhelmed.
Her questions involved some basic common sense and deep-seated reasons in interstellar life, forcing Mo Jiang to re-examine his understanding of these issues.
Chen Si's questions made Mo Jiang begin to reflect on whether his understanding of interstellar society was comprehensive, and also began to think about the deep-seated reasons behind these problems.
He realized that the operation of interstellar society was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and that there were many complex and profound reasons and laws hidden behind it.
Once the news spreads that the food of the upper class is plants, the potential consumers of nutrient solution will inevitably drop sharply, which will in turn impact the entire income system. For those big families, this is undoubtedly a serious blow to the main source of income.
A fresh bottle of nutritional supplement is priced at 10 credit points, but its actual cost may be less than one credit point.
This huge profit margin is undoubtedly extremely tempting.
Originally, Chen Si just wanted to test Mo Jiang, but the result was beyond his expectations.
It is undoubtedly a sad reality that the upper class enjoys abundant food, while the lower class people can only rely on nutrient solution that even dogs would despise to make a living.
What's more, the daily salary of a lower-class citizen is often less than 20 credit points.
A bottle of nutritional supplement takes up half of their income, and there are more than one person in a family, which means they may not even be able to meet basic needs, let alone save any money.
This widening gap between the rich and the poor makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Economic power is in the hands of a few people, while most people are struggling under the pressure of life. This is undoubtedly a social issue worthy of deep thought.
"Is the Empire in the same situation of being exploited as us?" Chen Si had never heard people talk about the Empire before, and his heart was full of confusion and curiosity.
"I know nothing about this." Mo Jiang shook his head helplessly.
The two countries are far apart, the fantasy worlds are not connected to each other, and no one knows the customs and practices of each other.
The Federal Intelligence Agency strictly prohibits people from discussing matters related to the Empire, leaving many lower-class people in the dark about the Empire.
Even now many people have forgotten the existence of the empire.
I only know about the Federation, Orcs and Star Beasts.
Isn't this a typical strategy to fool the people? Chen Si secretly sneered in his heart.
What the Federal Securities Agency did was truly despicable. Although Chen Si was full of complaints, he could only endure it silently.
After all, there is nothing I can do to change the current situation.
"Do you want to try this?" Chen Si handed a handful of star grass to Mo Jiang.
Mo Jiang looked at it carefully for a long time, and seeing nothing unusual, he reached out and took it.
He looked at it carefully again and didn't find anything wrong.
So he picked a leaf and put it in his mouth.
When your teeth touch the leaves of star grass, the delicious taste instantly fills your mouth.
The aftertaste that follows has a slight bitterness, but it is not the bitterness of the nutrient solution, but a taste that is unforgettable.
Mo Jiang was immersed in this indescribable taste. He had lived for more than 150 years since he was born, but he had never tasted such a taste before.
The fruity flavors on the premium nutritional pills I took before weren't as delicious as this one.
One is a synthetic product that is extracted, and the other is a natural plant that grows naturally. The difference between the two is indeed quite big.
Mo Jiang put the remaining star grass in his hand into his mouth and chewed it. Although this was just his own projection, the smell and taste collection system of the phantom machine was still able to transmit the taste of the star grass to his mouth very well.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
……
Mo Jiang sighed one after another, and his eyes occasionally turned to Chen Si standing aside.
However, Chen Si remained silent and did not respond to Mo Jiang's words at all.
This made Mo Jiang feel aggrieved. How should he start and how should he express himself?
How can he fight against the entire federal government alone?
The government’s corruption did not happen overnight, but rather was a result of years of gradual decay from the grassroots level to the top levels.
He knew that he was powerless to change the situation and could only provide some meager assistance to those around him within his ability.
At present, he has neither the ability nor the resources to fight against the corrupting forces.
Seeing Chen Si's silence, Mo Jiang coughed lightly and asked tentatively: "Xiao Sisi, do you think I can tell the head of the family about this matter?"
"It's up to you, but don't drag me into this. I know nothing about it." Chen Si didn't care about others knowing about it. What she cared about was her own safety.
She knew very well that she was still young and needed to act with caution and not get too involved in such a major incident, otherwise she would be in danger at any time.
I don't even know when I died.
"Okay, I understand." Mo Jiang nodded, and then changed the subject, "By the way, Xiao Sisi, your design draft..."
Chen Si immediately took out the design draft from his side and asked, "How should I give it to you?"
"Just put it on the table and I'll take care of it." Mo Jiang eagerly took the design draft from Chen Si.
"Okay, then I'll turn off the projection." After handing over the design draft, Chen Si prepared to enter his own space.
However, Mo Jiang stopped her and said, "Wait a moment, I'm still transmitting."
Chen Si stopped walking, a little puzzled, thinking: He said he would handle it himself, so why can't he just do it himself? Why did he make me wait?
Seeing Chen Si was puzzled, Mo Jiang explained, "Because the distance between the two planets is too far, the transmission takes some time."
After hearing this, Chen Si asked in confusion: "Then can't you take a photo and then print it out yourself?"
On the Blue Water Planet, it’s very quick to take a photo and send it over. Could it be that the technology here in the interstellar space is still backward?
Mo Jiang answered patiently, "No, Xiao Sisi. Most pictures are copyrighted. If I can't get this paper design draft, I can't make it. Although taking pictures is fast, it may involve copyright issues, so I still need this original draft."
"Then why do you have so many identical products?" When I think about the similar products I saw in the shops in the fantasy world, how could there be no imitations?
"Usually we have official authorization, and counterfeits are almost non-existent. Even in the black market, most of the products traded are genuine," Mo Jiang explained.
