Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 997 - 986: Interstellar Plane 22

"How do we separate them? So the soil here also contains toxic substances?" Xia Yue poked the ground with a tool, continuing to ask.

"Spiritual power—some people’s spiritual power can separate those substances. The soil here has been treated, and only contains a small amount of toxic substances. The crops that are grown can be consumed in small quantities directly. If you want to eat more, you still need to use spiritual power to separate them." The System continued to answer her.

"What a hassle," Xia Yue shook her head.

"This is the consequence of overdeveloping technology. If you guys on Blue Star overdevelop your technology, it will end up the same way," the System reminded her.

"Mm-hmm, the leaders also know that, so during the development process, they still emphasize the protection of nature," Xia Yue nodded, recalling her previous discussion with Yan Mo and the leaders.

"Xia Yue, have you finished planting?" Ou Sili looked at Xia Yue squatting on the ground, poking the dirt, and asked.

"Done planting, just like Teacher Sun instructed," Xia Yue raised her head and replied.

"Why did you choose this major? Aren’t you attending school on Merit Points? Why not join the Mechanical or Combat Department?" Ou Sili curiously asked Xia Yue.

"Too tiring, I just want to slack off and wait for death," Xia Yue blinked and said.

Ou Sili: "......." Completely unexpected reasoning, indeed unique but also seems reasonable.

"Right, wasn’t it said that after the school starts there will be live combat training? How come after we started, we just went straight to classes?" Xia Yue suddenly asked.

The moment Ou Sili heard her question, she quickly walked over, squatted down next to her, and whispered in her ear: "Originally according to the old regulations, training on the Deserted Star was supposed to start at the beginning of the school year, but from what I understand, because newcomers didn’t grasp some things, and going to the Deserted Star, aside from students like you who got in through Merit Points and could endure longer, other students performed too poorly, frankly speaking, students from the Central Star showed worse performance than those from the Marginal Stars, which was embarrassing for the people from the Central Star, so they changed the regulations this year. They decided to let students learn for a month to get used to things before going for the training."

"How do you know this so well?" Xia Yue looked at her in surprise after listening.

"My family has connections, so I know quite a bit," Ou Sili said with a smile, then continued, "Actually, most students from the Central Star basically know."

Xia Yue understood, indeed, where there are people, these kinds of things can’t be avoided.

After all the students planted their crops, Teacher Sun led them away, back to the classroom, where he began teaching them how to separate toxic substances from natural food.

Xia Yue watched Teacher Sun’s explanations, completely bewildered, having no idea what he was talking about—what spiritual power, what permeation, and then something about enclosing the toxic substances... She was utterly confused.

"System, what is he talking about? I don’t have spiritual power, what should I do?" Xia Yue asked the System in her Sea of Consciousness.

"Spiritual power is similar to your Divine Sense. You use your Divine Sense to detect and see the internal structure, and based on what he said, you kill the toxic substances," the System responded.

With that explanation, Xia Yue began to understand. Then she wrapped her Divine Sense around the Red Fruit in front of her, probing its interior, looking at the situation inside, locating the black toxic substances, and using her spiritual power to eliminate them.

After many attempts, Xia Yue finally found the trick to it. She then wrapped her Divine Sense around the black matter inside, which disappeared after being enclosed by the Divine Sense.

"If we have to go through this every time, how can we purify so much to meet daily demands?" Xia Yue expressed her doubts. Even just purifying one Red Fruit took her more than ten minutes to complete, so considering the vast amount of natural food on the market, how many people would it take to purify them all?

"This is a skill that gets better with practice. Someone skilled can purify over a thousand pounds of natural food a day. Plus, the supply of natural food itself isn’t that abundant, so it’s enough to meet the demand," the System explained.
