The items sold at these stalls were not bad, but they were not very practical. In fact, those who really wanted to buy practical items would not come here. The people who came here were purely looking for novelty. If the seniors were to get their hands on some new toys they had never seen before and sell them here, many people would still be willing to buy them at a high price.
As he continued forward, a stall selling plants attracted Silin's attention. Following Genya's education, Silin would always plant some green plants at the places he lived.
There were more flowers and plants on the stalls. Some were specially planted by flower lovers, and some were seeds and branches they collected when they went for training and internships outside the planet. The plants on display were all things Silin had seen in books before, but he could not make out all the seeds.
After a brief observation, Silin took a fancy to a green vine sealed with ecological film and nutrient solution. It was labeled as' Big-legged Boston Creeper '. Compared to normal Boston Creeper, the Big-legged Boston Creeper's climbing ability was stronger, and its radiation resistance and drought resistance were more than ten times higher than normal Boston Creeper's.
Silin looked at it. It was priced at 8000 galactic credits. So expensive.
The stall owner was a third year student. When he saw Silin frown, he explained, "Junior, don't be fooled by the high price, but it's definitely worth it. This Big-legged Boston Creeper is not the species you've seen before. We discovered this vine by chance when we were undergoing training outside the planet. Because we were pressed for time at the time, we didn't manage to get much. It's not just on Planet Seven Lights, it's rare even in the entire galaxy."
The stall owner spoke mysteriously and handed Silin an infrared fluoroscopic device. Then, he placed the vine in front of him.
Silin was surprised when he saw the image on the fluoroscopic device. The image around the vine was very blurry, and he could barely see the face of the stall owner behind the vine!
"Do you understand now?" The stall owner was very proud, "This thing is definitely worth it. If we can plant this vine and let it cover the walls around the dormitory, it will be hard for people outside the dormitory to peep in. It's super effective against night vision binoculars and whatnot!"
Before Silin could express his opinion, a voice interrupted.
"I saw this thing at the Seven Lights Research Zone's Botany Research Institute yesterday. I heard that this thing can only live for ten days at most after it leaves its main body. Come to think of it, this should be the eighth day, right?"
Andriera Lung!
Seeing that it was this guy, Silin didn't say much. He just looked at the stall owner sympathetically.
"Ahem, that's not entirely true. If it's sealed in a biological membrane and nutrient solution, it can still be preserved for more than ten days." The stall owner was a little embarrassed by Lung's words. He didn't expect that there would be someone who knew someone from the Institute of Botany.
Lung didn't even raise his head as he looked at the rattan in his hand. "I heard that the fifty or so samples used for research at the research institute are all dead. There are still a dozen or so that they can't bear to use, so they're also stored in this method. A few professors have gone to search for the parent. Perhaps in a few days, they'll be able to obtain a large batch …"
Five minutes later.
The stall owner looked like he wanted to cry as he received the 80 Star Coins from Silin. The way he looked at Lung was as if he wanted to avoid him as far as possible.
As expected of someone from the "So Poor That All Is Left Is Money" family. Silin thought.
"How about it? I've helped you bargain down so much. Do I get any reward?" Lung waved that leaf fan and looked at Silin with a grin.
Silin didn't beat around the bush. "Tell me your request."
The people from the Andriera family definitely wouldn't be a goody-two-shoes. They wouldn't do useless work, and they wouldn't do unprofitable business. That was why Silin directly let Lung bring it up. As long as it was within an acceptable range, everything was negotiable.
"Alright, a straightforward person. As for the reward … If you can grow this rattan, you'll have the priority to sell me the planting method."
"You're so sure that I can grow it? Even the people from the Institute of Botany couldn't do it, so why would I be able to? Besides, just like what the stall owner said, I'm buying this thing purely as a souvenir and for fun. "
"As for the reason … Andriera's intuition." Lung said in an extremely cocky manner.
"Alright." Silin said with a smile. He waved his hand and left the grocery street.
Silin thought that buying a hoverboard would make it more convenient for him to move around in the future. After all, the school district was also very big. A hoverboard was much cheaper than a flying car. It looked like a skateboard, but it could also be equipped with a manual control rudder. Moreover, it could also be used for physical exercise. If one wanted to save energy, they would have to ride the hoverboard themselves.
Before going to buy a hoverboard, Silin passed by a bookstore. The storefront was very big, and it looked simple and unadorned. It had a bit of history.
The store was currently holding an event — the bookstore's seventh centennial celebration.
Silin couldn't do anything about the membership benefits, but he could participate in the quiz event that was open to everyone. The sources of the questions were all public. They were from those few books. If all of them were correct, apart from a reward of 10,000 Star Coins, they could also choose any ten books from the bookstore for free, and a VIP membership card. Those who were 90 to 50 percent correct would also have corresponding rewards. As for those who couldn't even get 50 percent correct, it wasn't like they didn't have anything at all. At the very least, they would have a discount coupon.
It wasn't like he had to pay anything, so it was fine to participate. Also, Silin had read those books before. There were a lot of people participating.
There were a lot of participants, and after swiping his Seven Lights card for verification, the shop assistant arranged an answer panel for Cillin.
Almost all of them were multiple-choice questions, but nearly twenty percent of the questions were very detailed. For example, a certain sentence came from which book, which volume, which chapter, who said it, which year of a certain battle took place, and even the molecular formula of a certain drug …
Fortunately, Silin's memory was extraordinary. It didn't take him long to answer all one hundred questions, and the system immediately marked them after he submitted them.
"100 points! Congratulations, you've won the first prize! "
Following the instructions on the panel, Silin submitted his results and the answer panel to the relevant person in charge of the store, and then someone brought him to the prize area. At the same time, a message appeared on the big screen inside the shop. "Congratulations, Cillin Douance, for winning the first prize in the quiz quiz."
The people who saw this message couldn't help but sigh, "He actually got full marks for such crazy questions. What an amazing person."
"Douance? A member of the Douance Family? "
"This seems to be the second full marks prize today, isn't it?"
"Speaking of which, who's the full marks prize from before?"
"I think it's called Ci something …"
Silin had no idea what the people outside were talking about him. Right now he was busy receiving his prize. After transferring ten thousand galactic coins to his Seven Lights card, Silin went to the display area to choose his books. Some limited edition books weren't something that could be found anywhere.
The premium display area wasn't open to the public today, but it was an exception for those who had won certain prizes. When he arrived at the display area, Silin discovered that there was another person who had come to receive the full marks prize and choose his book.
The person looked about the same age as Silin, and he had a slightly refined and scholarly air about him. He stood in front of a bookshelf and flipped through a book quietly.
"Look, Jincheng. There's actually someone else who got full marks other than you." The person who brought Silin to choose his book greeted the person with a smile.
"Oh?" The person's gaze moved from the book in his hand to Silin, and with a gentle and refined smile, he said, "That's a rare sight." He had no intention of coming over.
Silin returned a polite greeting and began flipping through the books on the bookshelf.
A while later.
"Hey, Jincheng. Don't you think there's something wrong with that guy?" The person who brought Silin over moved next to Ci Jincheng and said in a low voice.
Ci Jincheng's gaze moved away from the book once more and looked at Silin not far away. The more he looked, the more he frowned.
It's too fast. The pages are turning too fast! The next page followed almost at the same time his gaze landed on the first page.
This wasn't an electronic book, so the speed at which the pages were flipped was not something the duo could ignore.
"Jincheng, do you think that guy is really paying attention? Or is he just putting on an act? He's been flipping pages for several books already. "
"Who is he?"
"The information displayed on the card when the money was transferred is: Silin Douance. He's a new student of Seven Lights this term just like you. He's not a special recruit. He's a self-funded student."
"The Douance Family?" Ci Jincheng was certain that he remembered every Douance Family member that was even slightly famous, but he had never heard of this Silin.
