Chapter 279 Shopping in the supermarket, seeing strange creatures
At noon the next day, warm and soft sunlight filtered through the narrow gap in the curtains, gently falling on my cheeks like golden threads. I slowly woke up from my sleep, stretched my body lazily, and then slowly sat up.
My mind slowly began to recall the series of events that had occurred since I returned home yesterday. Those funny and heartwarming scenes kept flashing before my eyes like movie scenes. As I thought about it, I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Then, I slowly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom, where I quickly washed up. Looking in the mirror, I seemed to be in good spirits. After I finished, my stomach growled, reminding me it was time for lunch. But looking at the time, it was already past my usual lunchtime. Sigh, today was a special day. Next time, I had to make sure I had lunch before noon.
In that case, let's quickly get something to fill our stomachs. But when I opened the refrigerator, I saw that it was completely empty, without any food at all. Fortunately, when I went to the hospital yesterday, I bought a week's worth of nutrient solution in advance and brought it back with me, otherwise I really don't know how to solve this lunch problem today. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that I didn't choose to express all the nutrient solution home. Although the express delivery speed is quite fast nowadays, maybe it can be delivered today, but it is still not as convenient as holding it directly in my hand. So, I took out a bottle of nutrient solution, unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted my head back and drank it all...
I gulped down the last of the nutrient solution, then put the cup down contentedly. Standing up and stretching, I decided to go out and buy some food to fill up the empty refrigerator at home.
When I gently opened the door, a breath of fresh air hit me, making me feel particularly comfortable. At this moment, I saw my neighbor leading his brand new smart robot, carefully trimming the lush green plants in front of the door!
My neighbor noticed me and waved at me. I smiled back and quickly walked over to greet them. He looked at me curiously and asked, "Hey, I heard you were traveling recently? Tell me about anything interesting and new you've seen along the way!"
The very mention of this trip instantly piqued my interest. I excitedly began recounting the magnificent snowy scenery I'd witnessed on the distant planet Snow. The pristine white snowflakes drifted down, seemingly blanketing the entire planet in a thick blanket of silver—a truly breathtaking sight. Furthermore, I'd made many fascinating alien friends during my trip. Some resembled adorable elves, shimmering with multicolored light; others were tall, mighty, and possessed immense strength. Each of these alien friends possessed a unique and captivating charm that truly opened my eyes.
After chatting for a while, I stood up and walked towards the supermarket. When I stepped into the supermarket, I found that there were not many customers inside, which made my shopping experience particularly relaxing and comfortable.
As soon as I entered the supermarket, I was captivated by the dazzling array of goods. The shelves were filled with a dazzling array of novel interstellar foods. There were energy bars from distant galaxies, emitting a strange glow; there were also space cookies made with special ingredients, crispy and sweet. Of course, what captivated me most were the fresh meats and colorful vegetables.
I carefully selected each ingredient, and soon my shopping basket was filled with juicy cuts of meat and a variety of fresh vegetables. Next, I moved on to the fruit section and saw several new exotic fruits. They came in various shapes, some resembling twinkling stars, others resembling tiny flying saucers. Curious, I picked one up and sniffed it. A unique fruity aroma filled my nostrils, and I added them to my basket without hesitation.
I was leisurely strolling through the bustling market when my eyes were drawn to a seafood stall not far ahead. The alluring, fragrant crab legs in particular made me quicken my pace.
When I finally arrived at the stall selling crab legs, I was about to pick up a few to examine them carefully when a clear and charming voice suddenly rang out in my ears: "Miss, don't underestimate these crab legs! They are very special. If you pair them with our special sauce, the taste is simply amazing!"
I turned around in surprise and saw a handsome young man standing beside me. He was wearing a neat supermarket staff uniform and smiled at me.
Seeing his enthusiastic look, my curiosity was immediately piqued, so I asked with interest: "Special sauce? It sounds very good. What does it look like?" Hearing my question, the smile on the young man's face became even brighter. He then turned around and took out a small dish of rich-looking sauce from the back of the stall with swift movements and handed it to me carefully.
I took the small dish of sauce and sniffed it gently. A unique aroma immediately filled my nostrils. Then, I dipped a small amount into my chopsticks and slowly put it into my mouth. Instantly, my taste buds felt like they had been struck by lightning. The wondrous flavor danced and blossomed in my mouth like a grand carnival party.
Just a small bite of it completely captivated me. I immediately made a decision without hesitation - I must buy more of these delicious crab legs to enjoy!
After careful selection, I finally placed all my desired items in the shopping cart. Then, I slowly pushed my overflowing cart toward the checkout area. As the rumors had suggested, this place was equipped with a highly advanced smart checkout system. It was incredibly easy to use: simply hold the item up to the scanner, and in the blink of an eye, the tedious tasks of scanning and billing were quickly and accurately completed.
Just as I was about to check out, I caught a glimpse of a strange-looking creature standing at the cash register next to me. Covered in a dense, soft fur, it looked like some adorable alien creature imbued with human form. The basket it held was filled with a dazzling array of shimmering stones, some crystal clear, some dazzlingly colorful.
When it was the strange creature's turn to pay, it calmly pulled a massive, dazzling diamond from its bosom and handed it to the cashier. Surprisingly, the cashier simply scanned the rare diamond with a barcode scanner and, without hesitation, handed it back to the creature, giving it the correct amount. Seeing this, it suddenly dawned on me: In this vast interstellar world, diamonds are as common as ordinary currency in our daily lives!
Compared to that strange creature using a manual checkout lane, I unhesitatingly opted for the more convenient and efficient smart checkout system. After successfully completing the payment process, I walked home with a light and cheerful pace, filled with joy and anticipation. The thought of immediately enjoying a delicious crab leg feast upon my return intensified my joy, and even my steps became lighter and quicker. Before long, I had successfully settled all my bills, and clutching my overflowing, somewhat heavy shopping bags, I left the bustling supermarket with a sense of satisfaction.
