Chapter 303 Delicious Juice
As my emotions gradually calmed and my thoughts began to clear, I was shocked by how violent my reaction had been. But on reflection, it was only natural! After all, it was 2025, and our country of flower growers was universally recognized as the safest! For as long as I could remember, the only drills I'd ever experienced were routine fire and earthquake drills. With something as sudden as today, it would be surprising if I didn't panic! Regardless, I felt I had to quickly come up with a suitable excuse to explain things to Lillian, or else, with her perceptive nature, she might become suspicious of me.
So, I strained my nerves to force a smile, uglier than crying, and whispered to Lillian beside me, "Dear Lillian, to be honest, the place I've lived in since I was a child has always been peaceful and tranquil. I've never encountered anything like what happened today before!" After hearing this, Lillian didn't blame me at all. Instead, she reached out and gently took my arm, smiling and comforting me, "Okay, okay, don't worry! In that case, let me show you how to deal with this kind of emergency today!"
At that moment, she gracefully and swiftly pulled out a small, exquisite instrument from her exquisite bag. The instrument was silver-gray in color, with several buttons that flickered faintly.
After Lillian expertly pressed a few buttons, an astonishing scene occurred—the small device suddenly emitted a bright pulse! With the appearance of this pulse, the lights, which had been flickering and appearing extremely unstable, instantly stabilized, as if controlled by some magical force.
"Look, this is the simple repair device! It's a magic tool specially designed to deal with this kind of intrusion. It can temporarily stabilize the damaged system." Lillian explained with a smile while proudly showing me the instrument in her hand.
Almost immediately, outside the store, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps and the whirring of machinery. Immediately afterwards, several heavily armed security robots rushed into the store like lightning, dashing towards the backstage control center at breakneck speed.
Not long after, the alarm that had been ringing throughout the space and making people feel panic finally stopped; at the same time, all the lights returned to normal, illuminating the store.
Seeing that everything had returned to normal, I couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, my heart was filled with sincere admiration for Lillian.
"Okay, stop daydreaming and let's go shopping somewhere else." Lillian gently took my hand and walked briskly towards other shelves filled with a wide variety of goods.
I hurriedly followed her, secretly resolving to myself: I must quickly adapt to the various unexpected situations brought about by this interstellar era, full of novelty and unknowns! I absolutely cannot afford to get so easily surprised by anything like I did today. After all, there will surely be many more new things like this in the future...
Time passed quietly, and Lillian had already wandered around the store for more than 10 minutes. She was like a happy little bird, searching between the racks, and finally found two sets of beautiful clothes that made her very happy and satisfied.
In contrast, upon exiting the safe room, I quickly shed the clothes I'd just tried on. Honestly, trying on new clothes is fine, but buying them and wearing them right away was a bit much for me. Originally, when I first started trying them on, I'd just tried them on virtually to see how they would look. However, the dress was quite figure-conscious and, more than that, very tight-fitting, so I couldn't resist trying it on myself. But who could have predicted this? I continued wandering around, but couldn't find anything I'd truly desired. In desperation, I just bought the dress I'd just tried on.
After leaving the shop, Lillian and I walked side by side, continuing forward. This entire floor was filled with a dazzling array of women's clothing. Although, in the interstellar age, the clothing here wasn't as diverse and dazzling as on Blue Planet, it was more focused on fit and practical use.
Lillian and I finished shopping three more times. By this point, I felt drained and exhausted, my energy for the day completely depleted. Although my stamina had improved after my successful weight loss, shopping remained a barrier for me.
Looking at Lillian, the energetic woman beside me, still energetically moving through the racks, enthusiastically selecting the clothes she liked, I couldn't help but admire her. Looking at me, slumped on the ground like a puddle of mud, Lillian shook her head helplessly and said, "Sui Sui, your physical strength is really not enough! You should work out with me more often in the future." Remembering Lillian's intense workouts, I waved her off without hesitation. I secretly thought that a gentler exercise like yoga would be more suitable for me at home. Of course, I couldn't tell Lillian these thoughts, so I simply told her that I already had other ways to exercise.
After some effort, we finally managed to walk out of the dazzling women's clothing area and stepped onto the charming and seductive fourth floor - the jewelry store. However, before rushing into the dazzling jewelry stores, we decided to stop at the entrance of this floor and buy a cool drink to replenish our energy.
Standing at the beverage counter, our eyes were captivated by the bizarre, unheard-of juice names: the mysterious Marula juice, exuding an exotic flavor; the unique Papana juice, seemingly hiding nature's secrets; the peculiar Boco juice, its taste intriguing; and equally eye-catching Green Monkey Orange Juice and Dream Fruit Juice. Faced with so many choices, we couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.
After careful consideration, we finally settled on Green Monkey Orange Juice, which sounded relatively reliable. After all, the word "orange" reminded us of the familiar orange, and since they're from the same family, the taste shouldn't be too bad, right? So, without hesitation, we ordered a glass.
Barely a minute later, the staff handed us our long-awaited Green Monkey Orange Juice through the window. The moment we took the cup, a light, fruity aroma filled our nostrils, making our mouths water. A gentle sip revealed a sweet and sour flavor that instantly spread across our tongues, leaving a refreshing sensation that instantly spread throughout our body. The perfect balance of acidity and sweetness blended together to create a beautifully harmonious taste experience.
After enjoying this delicious juice, we continued our journey to explore the jewelry store with satisfaction.
