Novel Bin Chapter 929 - It Has A Hard Time
What hindered its development was its position away from the center of the Federation. It was also very small. Its size was one-tenth of a normal third-rate planet. There were less than 5 million residents on it. So, compared to the third-rate planets that had a billion residence, it was inconspicuous.
A third-rate planet was already lacking in resources. If those huge organizations in the Federation wanted to spend money to develop such a planet, they needed to see value in it. But, the small Planet Muyang didn’t have any value at all. This was why it was not developed much.
However, this allowed Planet Muyang to maintain its natural appearance. It felt like a natural paradise. Many people were attracted by its natural sceneries. They would get sick of the modern city and come over the Planet Muyang to have a holiday for a few days. But, Planet Muyang couldn’t be compared with the tourist destinations on other planets. Thus, there were not many real tourists on this planet in comparison.
Since there weren’t many tourists, the residents of Planet Muyang had a hard time going out too. The port of Planet Muyang was small and old, so it could only handle small-sized starships. Of course, no big-sized starships would come to this broken-down place.
Therefore, there would only be one starship coming to Planet Muyang each week. It would come from the second-rate planet, Planet Moya, which was nearest to it.
One day, a small spacecraft came to the planet during the agreed time.
It was a small spacecraft that could carry a thousand people. Around 60 people walked down the spacecraft. One of them carried a simple bag and had a metal mask on her face. Her aura was gentle. She joined the tourists and walked out of the spaceport.
The spaceport was linked to the planet by an old shuttle. It got activated once a week just like the spacecraft. When the tourists got on this old shuttle, they would be frightened by the antiqueness of the thing. They were afraid that the old thing would break down in the middle of a flight.
However, the facilities and vehicles on Planet Muyang’s port were well maintained even though they were old. The shuttle transported the tourists safely to Planet Muyang.
When the tourists walked out of the platform, they felt a cool breeze. Their surroundings were filled with rice fields. They could see low-rise buildings and wooden huts with a red roofs among the golden rice paddy. It was a rare sight.
They didn’t expect the platform to be situated in the suburbs instead of the city. This unexpected arrangement made the tourist excited. They took out their cameras and started taking photos of this scenery.
A young person smiled when she saw this. She carried his bag and casually chose a path. Then, she walked there alone.
After walking for a while, the young person heard a timid voice, “Big brother, do you need a room?”
The young person was stunned. She looked back and saw a small little girl around 10 years old looking at her timidly. Her clothes were slightly old and there was a small boy around 5 years old beside her. The boy had an old and broken mecha model in his hands. He was looking at her curiously with big curious eyes.
“Isn’t it time for school now?” The young person looked at the midday sun in the sky.
“Our family is poor so we can’t pay for school fees. However, we will be able to afford my brother’s school fees next year.” The little girl noticed that the young person was amiable and gentle so she was less timid now. She smiled brightly at the young person.
“Isn’t scout academy free?” The young person was puzzled.
“It’s free but the lodging, clothes, and food needs money too. Poor families like us couldn’t afford it.” The little girl seemed used to the young man’s puzzlement. Many tourists before this person were puzzled too. However, after she explained to them, they wouldn’t have any more queries.
“Ah, sister, white, white...” The little boy shouted excitedly as he pointed to the young person.
A white circular creature suddenly popped up from the backpack of the young person. The round object had a pair of wide eyes that took up half of its body. It blinked and looked really cute.
“Little Yong, don’t be impolite.” The little girl hurriedly stopped her brother. She looked at the young person worriedly. She was afraid the person would get angry because of her brother’s rash actions.
“You mean this?” The young person wasn’t angry. Instead, she smiled and took the white circular creature down from the bag. She passed the white circular creature to the little boy. “Its name is Little White. It’s my pet. You can say hi to it.”
The little boy asked timidly, “Can I hug it?” In his many past experiences, tourists would appear nice at the start but they would suddenly turn angry and kick him. He got scared after a few times. He wondered if the young brother in front of him was willing to let him touch this cute and precious-looking pet.
“Of course. Little White, come and say hi.” The young person beckoned at Little White.
Little White waved it tentacles cutely and the little boy hugged it excitedly. He stuffed his face into Little White’s round body. He used so much force that Little White almost suffocated in the little boy’s arms.
‘Rawr! Can you throw away your broken mecha model? It’s poking me!’ Little White screamed in pain.
Little White wanted to cry. It was at the top of the food chain on Planet Juhao. Now, it became a cute pet used to coax little children. What a hard time it has!
The little girl saw Little White’s pitiful and cute expression when her brother squeezed it. Little White didn’t retaliate but its eyes were filled with tears, so she felt sad for Little White. She hurriedly stopped her brother and saved Little White from suffocation. She carried it in her arms and consoled it for a while, comforting its broken heart slightly.
“Ah, I’m sorry. Brother, if you need a room, my family can provide one for you. It’s cleaner than the hotels here and it’s cheap too.” While the little girl was comforting Little White, she suddenly remembered her motive. She hurriedly passed Little White back to the young person. “Brother, stay at our house. My mother can cook tasty food.” The little boy thought about the good food he was going to eat when he went back and swallowed his saliva.
The young person tilted her head and thought for a moment. “How much for one night?” If the price was not bad, she would try it.
“900 Mu credits for one night. That is 100 Federation credits,” the little girl smiled as she replied. She felt that she might be successful this time.
“Not bad. Let’s take a look at your house then. If I don’t like the environment, I’ll not be staying.” The young person smiled.
“Don’t worry. You’ll definitely be satisfied with my house.” The little girl patted her chest confidently.
