The River Source Star System occupied a special position in the starry sky, so every planet in the system served as a relay station for mining. It was filled with people who had obtained mining permits from the Three Kingdoms Mineral Joint Authority, and thus many families had emerged whose livelihoods depended on harvesting Star River Gold Crystals.
Xue Xi watched the busy mining industrial transport ships outside from within the Heavenly Kitchen Pavilion. Ever since obtaining that batch of genetic material, Xue Qi had shut herself away in Xue Xi's Internal World. Only Ai Chen, unable to go a day without three proper meals, remained by Xue Xi's side.

Hearing this, Ai Chen set down the fried potato chips in her hand and mumbled through a mouthful, "Oh, little Xue Xi, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. We're still at the cargo distribution center on the outskirts of the River Source Star System. Once we head farther in, we'll officially reach the source of the Gorse Star River. You'll definitely be in for a feast for the eyes there!"
Xue Xi raised her brows and grabbed a large handful from Ai Chen's bag of chips. "Really? Then I'll wait and see."

Xue Xi grinned broadly. "Hahaha, didn't you rob them too? If there aren't enough, I'll go give that
