Chapter 278 - 268: Elf and Sugar 19

Moira Lynch followed Eleanor Vaughn as they moved continuously from one warehouse to another.

When they opened a brand-new warehouse, they found it filled with rows of metal boxes and metal pods.

"What are all these?" Moira Lynch asked curiously.

Since it was all just idle, unwanted stuff, Eleanor Vaughn didn’t hide anything.

"These are all medicines that are about to expire, as well as Healing Pods and Hibernation Pods that have reached the end of their service life."

In the interstellar era, food was divided into two categories. The first was ordinary food, like Elf Syrup. Although it contained energy, this energy only met the body’s basic needs and had no other effects.

Such food was classified as ordinary.

The other category was food with special uses and effects, like the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit, which was collectively known as special food.

Often, such food would be processed into various types of medicines and distributed to more people.

For example, a single Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit could only be eaten by one person, but if processed into a medicine, it could be distributed for ten or even more people to take.

And the medicines before her were made from food with these special properties.

If you had to say what Caelus lacked most right now, besides food, it was medicine.

Although Moira Lynch’s Pharmacy Box could produce various types of Medicine, its capacity was ultimately limited.

Besides these Medicines, there were also the Hibernation Pods and Healing Pods.

[Hibernation Pod: Lie down inside to quickly recover stamina and eliminate physical fatigue. Works even better when paired with Medicine.

P.S. The service life of a Hibernation Pod is two years. The company will not provide any compensation for accidents that occur after the expiration date.]

[Healing Pod: Accelerates wound recovery. Works even better when paired with different Healing Potions.

P.S. The service life of a Healing Pod is three years. The company will not provide any compensation for accidents that occur after the expiration date.]

Moira Lynch automatically ignored the latter warning.

’So what if they’re past their service life? They aren’t broken.’

After having Patience confirm that the Hibernation Pods and Healing Pods were all problem-free, Moira Lynch eagerly began moving the contents of the warehouse into her space.

As she was moving things, a thought suddenly occurred to Moira Lynch.

’I have a lot of cash on hand now. Maybe I can ask Eleanor Vaughn to help me procure a batch of supplies?’

’But considering the time constraints, it would be best to get things The Elven Race has in stock right now.’

With this in mind, Moira Lynch quickly had Patience search for specialty products of The Elven Race.

[Found: The Elven Race’s interstellar online store.]

’The Elven Race seems so averse to technology, yet they have an online store?’

Moira Lynch didn’t stop packing things away. She spared a sliver of her attention to open the online store that Patience had found.

The moment she opened it, a dazzling array of items appeared before her, leaving Moira Lynch’s head spinning.

Skipping past the useless candies and desserts, Moira Lynch had a very clear objective: she wanted items with special effects.

’Preferably the cheap and practical kind.’

Courage Candy: After consumption, even a coward will muster the courage to face danger head-on.

’This one’s good.’

Camouflage Lollipop: Hold it in your mouth, and your body can blend into the surrounding environment. It’s one of the favorite snacks of Elven children.

P.S. After turning invisible, the body will emit a faint sweet scent, and it can only blend in with natural environments.

The effect weakens as the lollipop melts.

’This one’s good too.’

Mother and Child Sugar: Specially prepared for pregnant elves. With long-term consumption, the child in the womb will stop growing but not developing, allowing the expectant mother to maintain a slender figure during pregnancy without causing any harm to the fetus.

After searching high and low, Moira Lynch only found a total of three types of candy with special effects.

After picking out her items, Moira Lynch happened to be storing the last Healing Pod from the warehouse into her space.

On the way to the next warehouse, Moira Lynch suddenly sidled up to Eleanor Vaughn and said coaxingly, "Eleanor, can we talk about something?"

"What is it?" Eleanor Vaughn turned, blinking her large, watery eyes at her.

"Well, since I’ve come all this way, I was hoping you could help me buy a few things?"

Moira Lynch then told her about the Courage Candy, Camouflage Lollipops, and Mother and Child Sugar that she wanted.

"Let’s start with a thousand packs of each. We can settle the purchasing fee separately."

It wasn’t that Moira Lynch didn’t want to buy more, but a thousand packs was the online store’s purchase limit.

Hearing this, Eleanor Vaughn furrowed her brow in confusion. "Why don’t you just order them online yourself? We offer free shipping, delivered right to your home."

’Asking me to buy it for her seems completely unnecessary.’

Moira Lynch gave a dry laugh and explained, "Because my home is quite far away, and even I don’t know how to fill in the address. I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to deliver. Besides, I’m in a hurry. I need them today."

Finally, Eleanor Vaughn nodded and agreed to Moira Lynch’s request. "Alright, then. Place the order on your Intelligent Brain now, and I’ll go get the items for you."

Seeing Eleanor Vaughn agree so readily, Moira Lynch cheerfully started placing her order online.

In addition to the three types of candy, Moira Lynch also bought a lot of other things, including clothes and skincare products.

The Elven Race were all handsome men and beautiful women who aged slowly, so their skincare products were famous throughout the entire interstellar community.

After leading Moira Lynch to the next warehouse, Eleanor Vaughn left in a hurry.

Since Moira Lynch was in a rush, she had to hurry.

Moira Lynch withdrew her gaze from Eleanor Vaughn’s departing figure and turned to inspect the contents of this new warehouse.

Her break time was already over, but she had no intention of going back.

Before coming here, Eleanor Vaughn had already changed her work assignment for the afternoon, pulling her from the room where she was stirring syrup.

So, Moira Lynch’s job now was to clear out these overflowing warehouses.

This warehouse was different from the previous ones.

There was a noticeably worn area on the warehouse door.

It seemed someone frequently entered and exited here, which was why such an obvious mark had been left behind.

This was unlike the previous few warehouses, which, although covered in dust, were practically good as new once wiped clean.

This suggested that this warehouse was used often, and the things inside might have been delivered not too long ago.

Walking into the warehouse, she found it piled high with all sorts of fruits and vegetables.

Besides the jumbo sugarcane and beetroots she had seen before, there were many others she didn’t recognize.

She casually picked up a fruit that looked like a round cabbage, but when she peeled back the outer leaves, it revealed a purple apple inside.

It looked extremely fresh; even the part where it had been connected to the tree hadn’t started to discolor yet.

That meant this piece of fruit must have been picked very recently.

’But why was it discarded?’

Soon, Moira Lynch found the reason.

The fruit had a wormhole in it.
