famine queen

Chapter 123
Jin Mang was a little dazed. She just had a big appetite and accidentally finished eating the milk powder that could last for a year. From what they said, this seems to be a serious matter?
Could it be that although she has traveled to the modern society this time, the supplies here are actually very poor?

Like the one from the 70s and [-]s?

But it's not right either.

What are the physical lesions and the manifestation of the soul they are talking about?
Jin Mang was confused, but obviously no one would think of explaining this to her.

Jin Mang, who has been eight months old, can actually sit up. It's just that she has been busy and busy in her previous life, and in this life, she especially wants to lie down like a salted fish, and she has been lying down until now.

But now she found that she could not lie down any longer.

When Xu Yingying entered the room, she saw the little guy stood up holding on to the railing of the crib. Although he was a little trembling, he really stood up.

The little guy looked up, with a smug expression on his face, as if saying "Praise me quickly".

Jin Mang: "..." Not at all.

"Mangmang is awesome!" Xu Yingying boasted with a smile.

Jin Mang: "..." A little bit embarrassed.

Knowing that Jin Mang will stand up, a group of children ran to watch the excitement.They also put soft rugs on the floor and lifted her out of her crib to learn to walk on a stool.

Jin Mang: I'm a little tired.

At night, Xu Yingwan came back with a big cardboard box in her arms. When she took out a can of milk powder from it, everyone immediately became excited.

"Miss dean, have you bought milk powder?"

"How much milk powder is there, is it enough for Jin Mang to eat?"

"Is there any water? Hurry up and bring water here!"

……

After a while, Jin Mang ate hot milk powder.

Jinmang took a sip, um...it's just ordinary milk powder, nothing special.She had guessed that there were some special ingredients in this milk powder, which was why it was so expensive.

Even so, knowing that milk powder is expensive, she dared not open her stomach to eat like before.

Because Jin Mang started to learn to walk and showed that she couldn't stay in the house, the other children started to take her out to play.

There used to be hundreds of children in the Star Orphanage, and the Xu family was still in its heyday at that time, so although it has declined now, the environment here is really not bad.

The house Jinmang and the others live in is a large building, and there is a small building behind it for the staff, and the yard area is even larger.

According to the comments of the older children, Xu Yingwan also owns the real estate rights around the Xingxing Orphanage.

Jin Mang actually didn't understand.Ordinarily, with the property rights of such a large piece of land, Xu Yingwan shouldn't even be able to afford milk powder.

There are many play facilities in the yard that are suitable for children to play, but they are not suitable for today's Jinmang.

Xu Yingying and the others took Jinmang to play on the grass.

Just like that, Jin Mang observed for a while, but didn't notice anything wrong.She did notice the abnormalities in those children—they counted as one, and all had prosthetic body parts.

Jin Mang was not surprised by this, after all, she had known for a long time that all the children left in the Xingxing Orphanage were not healthy.

To her surprise, this world called Heze is very advanced in technology related to prosthetic limbs. For example, prosthetic eyes are not decorations, but high-tech products that can truly replace eyes and allow people to see.

Most of the prosthetics of these children in the Star Orphanage were installed a long time ago, before the orphanage fell, but judging from what they said, the prosthetics did not seem to be very rare or expensive.

Peng Juju once said that the prosthetics they installed were the most common ones, and the most expensive prosthetics were indistinguishable from the naked eye, almost the same as the original body.

Jinmang has observed carefully that the level of technological development in Heze is not much different from the modern society in her impression. Electronic devices such as TVs and mobile phones are not too bad. I don't know why there is such a big gap in the research of prosthetics.

——You must know that in modern society, the price of installing prosthetics is very high, which is a burden for most people, not to mention that the prosthetics they install are not as advanced and fully functional as Heze.

After a while, Jin Mang finally realized something was wrong.

As I said before, the yard of the Star Orphanage is very large. In addition to the recreational facilities, there are lawns, flower beds and fruit trees in the yard. The greening is very good.

But Jin Mang discovered that the flowers in the lawn, fruit trees and flower beds...seem to be the same?

Apart from these children, the only adults in the Star Orphanage are Xu Yingwan and Mama Zhuang, and there is no gardener at all.However, under the premise of no pruning or weeding, why did the plants in the yard not change at all?

To be honest, Jin Mang actually had some conspiracy theories in her heart, but in the end she found that the answer was very simple.

These plants are all fake.

The moment Jin Mang knew the truth, he was stunned.

"Why not make it real?" Xiao Douding, who was three years old at the time, asked.

"Then you have to make a living." Long Yan re-tied her messy pigtails.

What do you mean?
Jin Mang was confused.

Later, Long Yan told her that the land in Heze could not support any plants, and not only plants, but also animals other than humans could not survive here.

"Then what shall we eat?" Jin Mang asked suspiciously.

"Nutrient, natural food is a luxury that rich people can afford. You had milk powder for a year before, do you know how much it cost?" Long Yan asked her back.

"How many?"

"A can of milk powder is about 10,000+." Long Yan said: "It means that Miss Dean is pregnant, so she bought a lot of milk powder and stockpiled it. Otherwise, where would you have such good luck?"

Jin Mang was shocked and said: "According to what you said, where do natural foods come from?"

"Buy it from Shengqing." Long Yan said: "A healthy person like you has a very small chance of being able to manifest his soul when he becomes an adult."

"A brilliant soul can be turned into a green pool thousands of miles away, supporting thousands of people."

"And such a person is called Shengqing."

Jin Mang was stunned, did he enter a fantasy world?
"Brother Long Yan, have you met Shengqing?" She asked curiously.

"How is it possible?" Long Yan shook his head and said, "Shengqing is rare, even those rich people are proud to know a Shengqing. You need to find a way. If the Miss Dean hadn’t been rich, she wouldn’t have been able to get the milk powder for you back then.”

Jin Mang: "Then do we have a chance to become Shengqing?"

Hearing this, Long Yan's expression was a bit bitter, "You have it, we don't."

He wasn't jealous of Jin Mang. After all, how many healthy people were able to manifest their souls and become Shengqing when they became adults?
