Ruan Mingchu ordered a pot of Kela Beast Milk, which was delivered to the booth by a robot, along with two cups and a service to pour the milk into them.
"You don't need to pour it," Ruan Mingchu stopped the robot.
Robot: "Okay."
Ruan Mingchu definitely didn't order this to drink. The Yunrong Beast has parasites; does its offspring, the Kela Beast, have them? And are they in the Kela Beast's milk?
The answer is yes, but this pot of milk was full of dead parasites, so it must have been processed.
If a guest chooses to squeeze the juice himself or drink it directly, the parasites will definitely enter his body. Ruan Mingchu felt a chill run down his spine when he thought about this.
It may have already started spreading in the shadows.
Ruan Mingchu took the booklet from Qiao Sen's hand, flipped through it but couldn't find what he wanted.
When was the "Kola Beast Milk" item released?
Johnson was unaware of these things; he looked at the robot.
The robot was silent for a moment, probably searching its memory for "today and a year ago today".
It was taken out a year ago, probably because people died from drinking it due to parasites, so it was taken off the shelves. Now they probably figured out the cause, so they've put it back on the shelves.
Ruan Mingchu let out a breath and moved his numb fingers. He had never seen any reports of infectious diseases. Imperial regulations stipulated that any outbreak of infectious disease, regardless of its scale, must be reported.
So either the expansion wasn't successful at the time, or someone suppressed the matter. Hong Li Xing's ability to achieve such scale must have required the support of powerful figures behind the scenes.
Why would anyone disregard everything for the sake of profit? Ruan Mingchu would never understand.
Finally, they packed up the bottle of milk. Ruan Mingchu packed it up and had Qiao Sen carry it, saying, "Remember to put it in the hotel refrigerator for me."
Johnson: "Okay."
Seeing that the two of them didn't move, I originally thought they could take them away by themselves.
Over the next period of time, Ruan Mingchu witnessed the intelligence and talent of humankind in a whirlwind tour, and it would be a disservice to their talents not to build the Endless Abyss!
Finally, at eleven o'clock, Qiao Sen took out two masks from somewhere and handed them to Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu.
"The masks are standardized; you can choose to wear them or not."
Ruan Mingchu clicked her tongue. "Does this pattern, this workmanship, this material suit my face?"
Johnson: I'm not good enough for you.
Although this person's personality is somewhat complicated, his appearance is absolutely stunning; even the most beautiful Omega in Hongli City cannot compare to him.
Qiao Sen thought that Ruan Mingchu would not choose to wear it because he disliked it so much, but unexpectedly, he put it on his face while still disliking it, and even helped Mu Yu put it on as well.
Mu Yu: I don't really want to wear it. It's a face that's been altered; if it's exposed, then so be it.
However, once Ruan Mingchu put it on him, he was too lazy to take it off.
Upon entering the so-called site, the familiar layout immediately convinced Ruan Mingchu that they had boarded a military starship, a model from six years ago.
Are there people in the military involved in this kind of thing? Considering that vice marshal who colluded with space pirates, it's not hard to understand; people always have all sorts of desires.
The entire floor was opened up, creating a spacious area. There were no stages, tables, seats, or anything like that; it was just an empty, expansive space.
Ruan Mingchu asked, "Are we just going to wait until 11:30?"
Qiao Sen, Qiao Sen has never been here before, so he's not really clear on the specific procedures.
But it seems, maybe, perhaps we can only wait?
Ruan Mingchu: ...
Ruan Mingchu took Mu Yu to see the corner of the wall, a real corner of the wall.
"What did you figure out?"
Seeing Ruan Mingchu's serious expression, Mu Yu couldn't help but wonder if there was something hidden that he hadn't noticed.
He shook his head honestly.
Ruan Mingchu: "Yeah, I didn't see anything either."
Mu Yu wanted to slap him.
Johnson's lips twitched, and he slapped someone too.
"Just looking at a joke out of boredom." Ruan Mingchu shrugged. "Let's go, let's go look around somewhere else."
Ruan Mingchu put his arm around Mu Yu's shoulder and wandered aimlessly.
Johnson was full of complaints, but he had to keep up.
In reality, Mu Yu secretly used his spatial skills to retrieve a black box the size of a fingernail that was hidden in the wall and smuggled it into Ruan Mingchu's pocket.
The places they passed through afterward also contained buried black boxes, which Mu Yu retrieved using his skills.
The two communicated with their eyes.
Shepherd's Talk: What are these?
Ruan Mingchu: I don't know.
Mu Yu: I didn't know you made this?
Ruan Mingchu: It looks very strange.
By the time Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu finished searching the black box, it was almost 11:30.
Suddenly the lights above dimmed, and everyone craned their necks to look up. The fancy characters were changing rapidly, eventually slowing down until they stopped at the words "ghost marriage".
As the host's voice rang out, everyone instinctively looked for him, but couldn't find him.
"So today's topic is ghost marriage. Welcome everyone who has come from afar to participate in the firefly lantern event. Please allow me to offer my sincerest gratitude to you all."
"Then let's begin now."
As the host finished speaking, the words "ghost marriage" disappeared, and the room went completely dark.
Abrupt footsteps sounded, orderly and heavy, like a well-trained team carrying a heavy load.
With a "thump," Ruan Mingchu could tell that it was a sound that came from many sounds converging together, but they started at the same time, so they roughly overlapped and sounded like one.
Little by little, the dark red lights slowly lit up, seemingly shrouded in black mist, but everyone could still see that they were antique-style red lanterns.
Most people present did not know what a ghost marriage was.
While listening to their whispers, Ruan Mingchu searched his memory palace and finally found a description in a hidden corner.
Ghost marriage refers to the wedding of the deceased. In ancient times, due to feudal superstitions, people believed that unmarried people would cause unrest in their families or that they were lonely, so they would marry a deceased person who had also never been married.
What fun can one get from this?
Ruan Mingchu admitted that he lacked imagination, and no matter how he thought about it, the words "ghost marriage" carried a heavy sorrow.
At the same time, the sound of wood being pushed and scraping against each other rang out, a screeching and grating sound.
Under the dim red light, everyone observed the rectangular box.
Although no one uses coffins in the interstellar era, there are always a few knowledgeable people who know about them.
Immediately someone shouted, "A coffin! This is something used to put dead people in!"

Author's Note:
[A lighthearted skit for fun]
One day, Ruan Mingchu had just opened the door to his home when he saw Mu Yu with a face full of anger.
Ruan Mingchu was full of questions and quickly searched for any places he might have overlooked that might have offended Yu Yu's wife.
Search results: None
Feedback result: An innocent look
His innocent expression was like hot oil; pouring it on the wooden fish would only make the fire burn brighter.
Mu Yu immediately grabbed Ruan Mingchu and dragged her to the front of the kitchen: What do you mean?!
Since settling down completely, the kitchen has become Mu Yu's territory, not to be trespassed on by anyone. Ruan Mingchu receives Yu Yu's love for every meal.
Right now, about a dozen robots are busy in the kitchen, taking up all the space. Each stovetop has a pot cooking, several of them steaming with fragrant aromas.
Ruan Minh Chu was greatly surprised
He yelled: "It has nothing to do with me! I swear!"
Mu Yu sneered and gestured for Ruan Mingchu to look at the pile of delivery boxes next to them.
Ruan Mingchu looked at it and his eyes went blank.
Recipient: Ruan Mingchu
Who harmed me?!
Qingyao (worried): I wonder if the conditioning robot I sent over will even work.
If the male is weak, the household will be in turmoil.
Poor little fish, living a life of widowhood.

I want to finish this story! I want to write some sweet side stories!
73 Qiao Yu, another student
Immediately afterwards, trees or rocks suddenly emerged from the ground, erecting barriers that randomly separated the crowd.
Someone reached out and touched it; it wasn't an illusion, but a real thing, blocking their free movement.
First-time visitors inevitably show some curiosity, while those who have been there a few times remain calm and even exude a subtle sense of superiority, as if to say, "I've played this many times, but you're doing it for the first time? How lame."
"Ah—" A woman's sharp, painful scream rang in everyone's ears, startling many who looked around warily, but they couldn't see the source of the sound.
Then everyone overheard a conversation, which seemed to indicate that the two families were going to arrange a ghost marriage, but since the woman was still alive, they had to kill her. They also had to suppress her spirit in an extremely cruel way to prevent her from causing trouble after death.
The woman naturally did not want to die.
The scream she heard earlier was when someone drove a wooden nail into her palm, and then, somehow, she escaped.
