Flirt [Interstellar]Chapter 4

Since being discharged from the hospital, the original owner has been at home for almost half a month, shielded from the outside world like a tortoise hiding in its shell. Depressed and desperate, his already frail body became weaker and weaker in the past two weeks.

After Lin Yi decided to have a good night’s rest, he almost fell asleep on the sofa with his eyes closed. p9U50w

At the same time, at Yinyue Entertainment, Ye Jin was sitting in his office, looking at a notification received on his personal terminal with displeasure.

It was an email forwarded to him by his wife, Song Shu, which confirmed that Lin Yi would participate in Where We Are From. Except for the main text, the email was blank, but what Song Shu wanted to express to Ye Jin was understood.

What he did this time wasn’t enough, Song Shu’s anger was still far from over, and it was easier for her to deal with Lin Yi than crushing an ant.

There was nothing Ye Jin could do about it, and at the same time, there was an uncontrollable anger in his heart. This kind of anger comes from Song Shu not taking him seriously at all. She doesn’t have any respect for him that other alphas enjoy. He didn’t have any special feelings for Lin Yi. He just liked Lin Yi’s appearance and easy-going personality, but he didn’t expect that things wouldn’t work out. M7Kk4h

Although Ye Jin’s family background is not bad, it is really not ranked high in the Capital Star. The reason why he can sit in his current position and enjoy a luxurious and carefree life is all because of his relationship with the Song family. As the queen’s mother family, the Song family is ranked among the major families in Capital Star. If Ye Jin really angered Song Shu, he might not be able to maintain a bright life.

Ye Jin sat in his seat and frowned for a while, then sent another email to his subordinates. He emphasized that in this first episode, Lin Yi’s stupidity and ignorance should be highlighted as much as possible. He dug a few holes, making Lin Yi the laughing stock of the entire empire.

When the show is aired, Song Shu will be able to receive this obvious flattery from him, and she will be able to truly get rid of her original grievances about Lin Yi. Based on experience, this matter will pass.

As for Lin Yi, Ye Jin didn’t have the slightest psychological burden about pushing him out to be sacrificed. Even the pain, humiliation and despair that Lin Yi suffered, neither he nor Song Shu would pay any attention to it. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the upper-class nobles of the empire, Lin Yi’s life and death was not worth mentioning.

Sleep is an irreplaceable and excellent way to rest. When Lin Yi woke up naturally from a deep sleep, only the round head of Little A standing in the corner of the living room shined with a soft light. The whole room was dark. Even Lin Yi has no way of judging what time it is.

He opened his lips with a hoarse voice: “Little A, what time is it?”

The light on Little A’s head became brighter, and he quickly drove his wheels to Lin Yi’s side: “Master, it’s 5:30 in the morning, and you have slept for twelve hours.”

Lin Yi stood up and stretched his muscles and bones. After sleeping, his head, which had been a little groggy before, felt much better. JKvbUD

The apartment he lives in is small in size, but it is well-equipped and the location is actually very good. Lin Yi pushed open the glass door of the balcony, and Little A followed Lin Yi out.

Calling it a balcony is actually not accurate. It is a space about three square meters in size, and because it’s completely covered by transparent glass, it’s completely isolated from the outside world.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

Lin Yi tilted his head to look at the balcony next door, and could only see his own face reflected in the glass. Presumably, it is the same when looking at him on the balcony next door.

It is said that the four seasons and various climates of Capital Star are artificially created, so it seems that it should be true.

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and looked down through the glass. He couldn’t see clearly looking up, and still couldn’t see down, like he was living in mid-air.

Even though it was 5:30 in the morning, there were still bright lights flickering outside the apartment. Occasionally an aircraft flew over Lin Yi’s head or under his feet, and sound couldn’t be heard through the glass. RDd6Iy

The whole environment is clean, tidy and meticulous, to the point of being excessive.

Lin Yi originally thought that Earth’s, where he once lived, steel and concrete high rises were enough to make people feel suffocated, but he didn’t expect that compared to the current Capital Star, it is only a drop in the bucket.

Lin Yi wanted to go out onto the balcony to see if he could open the window and breathe in the fresh air of the early morning. He still wanted to have some connection with the outside environment instead of being enclosed in a fixed space so he asked Little A behind him, “Little A, can I open the window.

The green light that was flashing regularly on Little A’s head suddenly turned red, and his tone became serious: “Master, Little A does not recommend that you open the windows. The outdoor air quality is level C, and the indoor air quality is level B. Once opened, it will become contaminated and may cause you discomfort.” zsHZa6

Lin Yi let go of the palm that was on the window, “Forget it, I just wanted to breathe some fresh air, so there’s no need to open the window.”

Little A said kindly: “Maybe Master can upgrade the air quality.”

Lin Yi walked back and asked Little A: “Upgrade the air quality?”

Little A is like a salesman: “Yes Master, calculating the current expense for your area, you only need three hundred yuan per month to improve the air quality to level A. To raise the air quality to level S, you only need five hundred yuan per month.” wSK6P3

“Don’t you know how much money I have?” Lin Yi stared at Little A’s chubby head, hands itching.

Little A beeped twice, and realized that he had said a lot of nonsense in front of a poor man, so he quickly quieted down to reduce his sense of existence.

Lin Yi walked to the refrigerator and opened the door to see inside. It was empty except for two cups of nutrient solution. He took out one of the glasses and drank it, walked around the room with a few more steps, simply returned to the sofa and sat down.

There are three problems he is currently facing: first he’s poor, second is his weak body, and third is he does not know much about the current environment. BuA65o

The original owner has been living in the Capital Star for more than a month, and Grandma Liu has had a good time in the Grand View Garden. The original owner hasn’t had a chance to really understand the Capital Star, let alone in the past half month, where he was hospitalized and hiding at home.

Most of Lin Yi’s current understanding of the empire comes from the original owner’s life experience on the Rare Planet, which is very limited and scarce. Lin Yi knew that he had to spend a lot of time understanding many things from the beginning. YdZB54

Lin Yi’s current body needs more than just eating better, strengthening his body with exercise is key.

In his previous life, Lin Yi paid great attention to body management due to professional reasons, and is very knowledgeable about how to exercise. It’s a pity that the original owner’s physique obviously couldn’t keep up with Lin Yi’s exercise plan.

On the first day, not to mention half an hour of exercise, he exercised for less than ten minutes and his body was already sweating while his limbs felt soft.

Lin Yi lasted for ten minutes, but couldn’t bear it anymore and fell to the ground, panting heavily. fl9uNG

It wasn’t enough, Lin Yi sat up after resting for a while and did another set of exercises. He did three sets intermittently like this, and then he stopped to think it over.

At this time, an artificial light like sunlight appeared outside, gradually and regularly filling his balcony windows.

Lin Yi sat on the floor and turned on his personal terminal. He opened up the virtual web interface in front of him, and placed it at a suitable distance. The intangible web page interface is like a mass of light that can be easily manipulated, changing its shape according to the movements and wishes of Lin Yi’s fingertips.

Everyone in the empire has a personal terminal, which is similar to a real-name authentication from birth, but most of the time people can still have virtual identities on the internet, and only a few websites will force users to display their real information to the public. yN5Twl

Lin Yi opened the mailbox of his personal terminal, and there was a new email. It was further information for the first issue of Where We Come From sent by Yinhe Film and Television.

Where We Come From will be broadcasted live, so there is no room for post-editing or dubbing. The audience loves this type of broadcasting, but many stars are inevitably nervous and afraid of making mistakes.

Lin Yi didn’t feel nervous. He was doing interviews on the show, and has seen a lot of different scenes. For him, facing the camera was no different from eating and drinking.

Compared to recording and broadcasting, he appreciates the method of live broadcasting more. Lin Yi knows better than anyone how many tricks can be played with editing film. He has seen a lot of his colleagues be rescued or harmed by editing in the past. Rather than leaving room for the other party to take advantage later, he is more comfortable to live broadcast on screen. iv PSf

Where We Come From is a variety show under the banner of retro roots, and the content naturally revolves around all aspects of Earth. What Earth looks like, the First Empire residents see the flowers in the fog, but Lin Yi, who came from that era, sees clearly.

Lin Yi watched the entire process of the program, and had an idea in his heart. The keyword for this first episode is Earth Diet. The challenge is mainly divided into three parts, one of which is for the guests to make a dish of Earth food. Lin Yi didn’t have much experience with cooking in his previous life, so it would be tricky for him, but it’s not impossible when asking him to cook. He participated in a food-related variety show in his previous life, and learned a dish for braised pork by the chef in it, so it shouldn’t be a problem to deal with the challenge. WxNAdH

I just don’t know what Earth’s food is like on the empire at this time?

Lin Yi opened the webpage to enter keywords and a lot of related content popped up on the main page in no time.

There were really people in the empire who liked to share food from Earth, but Lin Yi stared at the strange food on the webpage, and doubted whether it was really from Earth.

He scrolled for a while and clicked on one of the highly praised cooking pages. He saw the ingredients and seasonings shared by people, as well as the favorable comments below. KMjE0m

“Wow, that looks really good.”

“Tasted the flavor, it seems to be okay. It is the taste of pure Earth food.”

“It’s a good recipe for the year, but it’s a pity that I can’t buy the same ingredients. I really want to make such retro dishes.”

Taste? Lin Yi looked down and found a link that said, Click to Taste. He clicked on it, and the picture of the dish originally displayed on the page suddenly seemed to be in front of him. The heat rushed towards his face and there was also a strange smell. 0bX5Kd

He picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. He had some expectations, but choked on the taste of the obviously overcooked food as soon as he entered his mouth.

What the hell! Lin Yi opened his mouth to spit it out, but found that there was nothing there. The virtual food only created a virtual tasting experience.

Lin Yi quickly went to get some water to rinse his mouth, and at the same time looked at the sincere and flattering comments. He was tempted to tell the interstellar idiots through the screen, “The sour, sweet, bitter, and salty taste is not a representation of Earth’s food!”

  1. thank you for the chapter 💞 i suppose the standards for earth food are lower than lin yi expected 😭😭😹

  2. I understand losing some ingredients and recipes, but how can their sense of taste also regress so badly????? As if none of these dumb*ss interstellar people has any cooking intuition or properly functioning sense of smell and taste buds!!!

    Ok, add one more vest to Lin Yi’s list, let’s see him overturn this world!

    Thank you for the chapter.

  3. I doubt these people had a taste of an authentic taste of past Earth food. LOL, maybe there’s only historical records or diary left behind and no one know the taste at all.
