Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Only after searching now did Wang Chen realize just how exorbitantly priced such ingredients were.

To be fair, despite the Empire’s strict hierarchical system, as long as the lowest-tier citizens are willing to work, they have no trouble meeting their basic needs for food and clothing.

In the market, a kilogram of genetically modified beef costs less than 5 Star Currency; pork and chicken are even cheaper. You could binge on meat every day without bankrupting yourself.

Even the organic meat produced by Green Planet Ranch is priced at just tens or hundreds of Star Currency per kilogram.

Looking at it another way, how many Star Currency did he devour on FT1205 Ecological Experimental Star?

Wang Chen couldn’t even bear to calculate.
