Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Garbage Star’s Good-for-Nothings (10)
Qiann Yan did not waste the original host’s Talent; she was working hard to uncover it. She would still spend part of her day scavenging for garbage to sell, aiming to save enough money for a personal terminal.
She was in the interstellar civilization world for the first time, and without a personal terminal to look up information, she was extremely unfamiliar with this world, temporarily unsure how to quickly make money without getting into trouble.
For now, she could only engage in the original host’s old trade—scavenging for garbage.
Qiann Yan could steadily earn twenty Star Coins every day, and a personal terminal would require at least one thousand Star Coins.
After three months here, Qiann Yan finally went to get a personal terminal. She didn’t tell Luoo Cheng about it; if Luoo Cheng truly cared for her as his adopted daughter, he should have thought about these things long ago.
With a personal terminal, even without attending school, she could learn online. For impoverished families, this is one way to grasp knowledge. Even the poorest families could save enough to afford a personal terminal, as it’s an essential item for interstellar people.
The group of kids she met earlier, they scavenged garbage to sell with the initial goal of saving up for personal terminals, and their families were very supportive.
After obtaining a personal terminal, Qiann Yan became even busier.
During the day, she continued scavenging garbage to sell, thinking about combining various discarded equipment; at night, after eating, she looked up information on her personal terminal, and cultivated during sleep.
The reason she still needed to scavenge was because she didn’t have a stable source of income yet. Most websites require membership to access information.
In the interstellar civilization, piracy is severely cracked down on; aside from general forums, most knowledge-sharing websites need membership to browse.
Unless it’s selfless sharing of personal experience and knowledge, one doesn’t need to pay or be a member.
The information she needed to look up was quite specialized and cost a lot of money.
Soon, she wouldn’t have to scavenge for money anymore, after half a year of study, her skills had greatly improved, and repairing household appliances was no longer a problem.
"Little Qiann Yan, can it be fixed?"
Lei Dalong asked, his eyes filled with friendliness.
Qiann Yan: "It can be fixed."
Lei Dalong had a daughter who was detected to have B-level Spiritual Power when very young. To nurture her, he’s been living frugally, with most Star Coins sent to his daughter’s account.
Qiann Yan quickly found the problem with the washing machine, fixed it in no time, and succeeded in getting the washing machine to work.
Lei Dalong was happy: "It seems much quieter than before, and the cycle is much faster. Little Qiann Yan, you are truly a genius."
With the washing machine repaired, he didn’t need to buy a new one, saving some money for Sisi.
Qiann Yan recalled the news about Lei Sisi, thinking destiny was sometimes very strange. A good daughter wouldn’t meet a good father, but a good father might not meet a good daughter.
Qiann Yan’s reputation in the vicinity was growing; many families would look for her when something needed repair.
She hadn’t opened a repair shop; as long as her skills were strong, people nearby would come to her. Now she only needed to help repair equipment to earn quite a few Star Coins.
Luoo Cheng was very regretful; so many years had passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiann Yan still didn’t pay much attention to him; he felt he’d done well.
"Qiann Yan, after another year, father will take you away from Mutou Star, send you to school."
Qiann Yan: "I’m already fourteen."
Luoo Cheng was momentarily speechless, fourteen, indeed quite aged.
"No problem." Luoo Cheng comforted, "Although the tuition is a bit expensive, father will definitely send you to school."
Qiann Yan couldn’t be bothered with this useless person; hadn’t he thought about getting her a personal terminal all these years?
Most ordinary children’s families couldn’t afford school, they all enroll for online education. After reaching a certain level in their studies, they can take exams; if they pass, they continue to the next stage, earning diplomas alike. To delve deep into a field, ultimately, one must go to school and take increasingly difficult exams as they move forward.
Of course, this is referring to average children without qualified spiritual power.
Gifted children only need to test qualifying at school for admission without exams.
A few days later, Luoo Cheng quickly approached Qiann Yan: "Qiann Yan, I’ll take you to get a personal terminal, you can start learning online."
Qiann Yan: "..."
Only thought of it now, too late.
"I already have one." Qiann Yan said.
