My carefree life in space

Chapter 77 Mineral Planet Situation

As soon as she stepped off the spaceship, Lin Shushu's personal computer beeped. She picked it up and saw Mo Ze's name. She finally remembered that she had forgotten to tell Mo Ze about her plans.

Feeling a little guilty, she answered the call, and Mo Ze's slightly anxious voice immediately came from the other end, "Shushu, where are you now? I'm coming to find you!"

Lin Shushu was delighted. Had Mo Ze finished his business? But he said he wanted to come see her? There was really no need for that. She didn't want Mo Ze to give up his life just to be with her.

"Mo Ze, you're back? I just arrived on J56. You don't need to come looking for me, just do your own thing. You know I'll be fine wherever I go." Lin Shushu rejected Mo Ze's offer.

"Shushu, don't you want to see me? But I want to see you. I don't have anything else to do right now, and it'll be lonely staying at home alone. You don't want to see me so pitiful, do you?" Mo Ze's aggrieved accusation came from the other end of the line.

Lin Shushu had no choice but to compromise, "Alright then, I'll be on J56. Let me know when you arrive and I'll come pick you up."

"Okay, Shushu, wait for me, I'll be right there." The excitement in his voice was infectious, and Lin Shushu smiled. Having a clingy boyfriend didn't seem like such a bad thing after all.

Lin Shushu put away her personal terminal and walked towards the An siblings who were waiting on the side. They had already discussed it on the spaceship and would go to register their information together.

When Lin Shushu was on the call, the brother and sister wisely kept their distance, and after she ended the call, they didn't ask any further questions. This perfect sense of boundaries made Lin Shushu have a better impression of them.

The place for registering personal information is a temporary building with about a dozen registration windows.

Lin Shushu was astonished as she looked at the dense crowd waiting to register. She had expected many people to come seeking their fortune, but she hadn't anticipated this many. The spacious hall was packed with people, and there was still a steady stream of people arriving from outside.

While she was still in a daze, An Xiaojie grabbed her arm. "Sister Shushu, let's hurry up and line up, or we won't get a turn until dark."

Lin Shushu snapped out of her daze and quickly followed in her footsteps, squeezing into the queue with the crowd. An Yuanheng stayed by their side the whole time, blocking anyone who tried to squeeze in.

Fortunately, although there were many people in line, the staff were very efficient. It only took half an hour for Lin Shushu and her two companions to register.

The registration process is also very simple. Just bring your computer close to a machine and the system will automatically generate an identification code. You can then use this identification code to search for minerals in the designated area.

This identification code also has a personal record function. It can not only calculate the amount of ore mined by an individual in real time, making it convenient to pay the amount due, but also prevent others from stealing the ore and protect the individual's hard-earned income.

Since it was getting late, the group decided to go to the mining area early the next morning. Now they needed to find a place to stay.

It has to be said that no matter where you go, there are always people with a business acumen that is hard for others to match.

While most people are sharpening their knives for ore, some are taking a different approach, starting with logistical support.

As Lin Shushu walked along, she discovered that this place had become a commercial district in itself. Not only were there hotels of all kinds, but there were also many restaurants, and even bars and other leisure venues.

Lin Shushu couldn't help but wonder if these people were there to mine or to relax and have a vacation. Even if she lacked common sense, she knew that mining was hard work with uncertain returns; there was no time for leisure and enjoyment.

Moreover, it has only been a short time since the mineral was discovered, and the business here has already flourished in such a short time, which is truly amazing.

On this point, it must be said that Lin Shushu's understanding of the interstellar world is still insufficient.

First of all, the people who come here include leaders of various forces and their managers. These people's lives must be guaranteed, and ordinary conditions are really not enough to meet their needs. Therefore, high-end hotels and restaurants are a must.

Secondly, these people cannot stay in the mining area all day long; they naturally need a good office space and recreational facilities.

Finally, the number of private miners is no less than that of the mining workers of large organizations, and their basic needs for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation also need to be guaranteed, which has led to the emergence of various types of accommodations and restaurants.

The three of them explored almost the entire commercial district and gained an understanding of its layout.

An Yuanheng looked at Lin Shushu, "Sister Shushu, our conditions are limited, we can only stay in ordinary hotels. So, do you want to find a hotel yourself, or..."

"I'll stay with you!" Lin Shushu didn't need to think about it at all. She had her own space, so no matter where she chose to stay, she would end up staying in her space anyway. Therefore, there was no need to choose a high-end hotel.

More importantly, she had some doubts about the An siblings' identities. If they really were from her grandmother's family, living with them would be a good way to have someone to look after her.

Having decided to stay in the same place, they started walking back, having seen a suitable hotel while strolling around earlier.

As Lin Shushu passed by the entrance of a high-end hotel, she saw someone from her memory. She stopped and stared at the person at the entrance without blinking.

Noticing her pause, An Xiaojie followed her gaze in confusion and discovered that it was a high-end hotel.

"Sister Shushu, you don't need to worry about us. You can stay wherever you want." She thought Lin Shushu had changed her mind and wanted to stay in a more upscale hotel.

Lin Shushu was brought back to her senses by her words. She put away the coldness in her eyes and smiled at An Xiaojie, saying, "I thought I had met an acquaintance, but it turns out it wasn't. Let's keep going, it's already dark."

An Xiaojie, unsuspecting, happily followed in her footsteps.

At the hotel entrance, Lin Keke was holding Lin Zihao's hand, recounting her experiences along the way. Suddenly, she felt a gaze upon her. Puzzled, she turned around and saw two girls walking away hand in hand.

She ignored the strange feeling she had just experienced and turned back to continue talking to Lin Zihao. After all, in her mind, it was perfectly normal for people to look at her; she had seen countless envious glances from others throughout her life.

Lin Shushu, walking along the road, never expected to see Lin Keke here. She knew the Lin family would send someone to J56, but she only thought it would be a steward or some male member of the Lin family. She didn't expect Lin Keke to come along as well.

Since we're so destined to meet, let's catch up! Lin Shushu gave a playful smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

An Yuanheng, who was standing next to her, accidentally caught a glimpse of her smile. He looked at his sister, who was always smiling, and felt that their smiles were somewhat similar at a certain moment.
