Chapter 9: Aunt and Cousin
810 credit points.
One!
Ji You: "..."
She stared in shock, a single apple weighing less than half a pound actually selling for 810 credit points each, even more expensive than a level 1 Mechanical Energy Box. In fact, a level 2 energy box was only priced at 600 credit points.
The energy dagger that Ji You had always coveted, boasting decent performance, was priced at only 300 credit points!
Apart from this apple, the origins and weights of the other five fell short, yet their prices had also reached a staggering 500, 520, 650, 740, and 560 credit points respectively. All were exorbitantly expensive, truly maddening.
Bananas, oranges, grapes, pomelos... their prices could all rival the apple's.
Comparing these items also subtly highlights a distinctive feature of the interstellar era: the prices of food are generally higher than low-level weapons.
Of course, there's a reason why natural food is expensive, as science has proven: consuming natural food over the long term significantly enhances human spiritual power.
Many people with spiritual power levels F, E, and D have improved by 1-2 levels after maintaining a habit of eating natural food over time. For those at levels C, B, A, and even S, although the speed of improvement is slower, natural food still facilitates an increase.
This was the reason why natural food was so coveted by humanity.
