Chapter 142

Qing Mengzhu and Ming Chunxi are not the clingy type of couple. They each have their own careers and are usually busy with their own lives, rarely urging each other.

Today, he looked at the upgraded Interstellar Mall from left to right, and finally couldn't resist telling Ming Chunxi on WeChat before driving directly to the main city to find someone.

He was in an exceptionally good mood, and he used different playlists.

Listening to upbeat music all the way to Ming Chunxi's building, Qing Mengzhu finally calmed down. He took out his phone to check if Ming Chunxi was still busy, and if not, they could go for afternoon tea together.

Qing Mengzhu could even read the message on WeChat, two long, slender fingers tapped on his glass window.

He heard the sound and looked up, only to see Ming Chunxi standing outside the car door with a smile on her face.

Qing Mengzhu's mood instantly brightened, and she broke into a big smile. She opened the car door and looked up at Ming Chunxi: "What are you doing here? Aren't you working in the office?"

Ming Chunxi waved her phone. "I got your message and couldn't sit still, so I came down to wait. I saw you parked outside in the lobby just now."

Qing Mengzhu: "Then get in the car quickly, parking is not allowed here, and the security guard will be coming to urge you soon."

Qing Mengzhu smiled and asked Mingchun to sit comfortably in the passenger seat, "Let's go have afternoon tea. Is there a five-star hotel nearby that offers afternoon tea service?"

Ming Chunxi: "Yes. You haven't said what it is."

Qing Mengzhu was overjoyed, her face beaming with happiness. "We've leveled up!"

He deliberately omitted the subject, but Ming Chunxi immediately understood. "This is the first upgrade?"

Qing Mengzhu: "Yes, at least while I was conscious, this was the first time it had upgraded."

As she spoke, Qing Mengzhu said with a smile, "I should have told you after you got back, but I drove around the house twice and got so excited that I couldn't resist coming over."

Ming Chunxi leaned over and kissed him. "I'm very excited too, and I'm so glad you told me the news so quickly."

Qing Mengzhu: "Right! Let's go, let's go have afternoon tea."

Qing Mengzhu wasn't very familiar with this area, so she specifically used navigation to get to the five-star hotel.

They parked their car and went inside for tea.

There weren't many people having afternoon tea in the restaurant; they specifically chose a quiet spot and then ordered their food.

The two did not sit facing each other, but rather in a right-angled position.

Qing Mengzhu whispered, "When it was upgraded, it wasn't on my phone; it specifically popped up in front of me. It's been taken back now, otherwise you should have been able to see it."

Ming Chunxi held out her hand. "Let me check my phone. Can I open it from there?"

Qing Mengzhu: "Not now, the data is probably too large and it's frozen. Look, nothing's responding to my clicks."

Ming Chunxi: "It will take 24 hours to upgrade?"

Qing Mengzhu nodded. "Yes, we'll see the new version by this time tomorrow."

The hotel staff quickly brought out their afternoon tea.

They ordered sandwiches and small cakes, and specifically requested small green tangerines for tea, but did not order strong tea drinks such as milk tea or coffee.

The afternoon tea at the five-star hotel was indeed of a high standard. The sandwiches and cakes were quite delicious, and the tangerines were very fragrant, but they couldn't compare to their tea, which made Qing Mengzhu feel a little proud.

Qing Mengzhu took two sips of tea and said expectantly, "I can't wait to try my luck in the lottery."

Ming Chunxi: "It will be tomorrow."

Qing Mengzhu: "I wonder what they'll draw this time?"

Ming Chunxi: "Let's see how lucky we are."

After they finished afternoon tea, Ming Chunxi had no interest in working, so she simply told her subordinates and then drove back with Qing Mengzhu.

Once they got home, they locked the door and were finally able to check out the upgraded Interstellar Mall.

Ming Chunxi looked at it for a while and found that most of the functions were unusable. He said thoughtfully, "It seems that the Interstellar Mall has a lot of data."

Qing Mengzhu: "I estimate that it can also convert some matter into energy? Judging from this, its hardware must be very complex, otherwise it wouldn't be able to convert it."

Previously, the Interstellar Mall had been absorbing a certain substance from the vegetables they sold. Qing Mengzhu felt that the absorbed substance was being converted into energy; otherwise, the related operations would be impossible to explain.

He knew of several ways to convert energy into matter.

For example, there are already projects in China that convert electricity into starch. Although they are just starting out, they are already quite remarkable.

The technology in interstellar dimensions should be far more advanced than that on Earth, so it's not surprising that they have similar projects.

After examining it carefully, Ming Chunxi sighed, "The technological gap is too large; we simply cannot analyze it at present."

Qing Mengzhu patted him on the back. "There will be a way sooner or later, if it doesn't leave."

The Interstellar Mall is undergoing an upgrade, and both of them are eagerly anticipating the results.

The next day, Ming Chunxi worked from home and waited for the upgraded version with Qing Mengzhu.

They waited anxiously from morning till afternoon.

Qing Mengzhu joked, "It's taking so long to wait. How about we have a drink, then take a nap, and maybe the Interstellar Mall will be upgraded by then?"

Ming Chunxi: "I might not be able to get up tomorrow after drinking. Just wait a bit, or if it really doesn't work, we can go for a hike."

Qing Mengzhu thought about it and decided that she would rather sit and wait, as climbing the mountain was just too tiring.

As they waited patiently, the Interstellar Mall gradually completed its upgrade.

At 3:56 PM, the Interstellar Mall emitted a soft "ding" sound, indicating that the upgrade was complete.

Qing Mengzhu jumped up and immediately opened the Interstellar Mall in her mind, and then visualized it directly on her phone.

The two looked at their phones together. The upgraded Interstellar Mall had changed its font, making it look more concise and clear, and the recommended products were more in line with their purchasing power and habits.

Ming Chunxi prompted. "Check your personal center."

Qing Mengzhu: "Okay!"

"Wait!" Qing Mengzhu noticed a change in her profile at first glance. "The suffix after my name seems to be clickable."

Ming Chunxi: "Click to take a look."

Qing Mengzhu immediately clicked on the suffix after her name and found an explanation pop up.

The above shows that he is currently Junior Grower. After mastering Intermediate Soil Science, Intermediate Fertilizer Science, Intermediate Fruit and Vegetable Pest and Disease Science, Intermediate Planting Skill), Intermediate Planting Skill), and Intermediate Planting Skill), he will be able to become Intermediate Grower.

Qing Mengzhu's mouth suddenly went dry. She turned to Ming Chunxi and said, "Look, it gave a clear hint."

Ming Chunxi: "I saw it, a very useful tip."

Qing Mengzhu: "Yes, just this hint alone makes this upgrade worthwhile."

Qing Mengzhu stared at the prompt and immediately understood the path she needed to take from here on out.

He had seen several related skill books in the Interstellar Mall, and as long as he saved up his Star Coins, buying the skill books would be a piece of cake.

Even if there is a cooling-off period for purchasing, they can let time resolve it.

Qing Mengzhu swallowed hard, feeling as if she could already see herself becoming Master Grower.

Ming Chunxi prompted. "Let's see if there are any other changes. Check the Mall Assistant first."

Qing Mengzhu realized what was happening. "Right, right, let me see."

Qing Mengzhu opened the Mall Assistant and immediately discovered that its functions had been upgraded.

The Interstellar Mall now indicates that the Mall Assistant can check the ingredient list.

Previously, the Mall Assistant would only provide information such as weight, quality, and estimated price when searching for an item. Now, it also displays the item's composition and indicates how much it needs to reach the next quality level.

Qing Mengzhu casually glanced at the Luring Grass they had placed on the windowsill.
