Two hundred credits was quite expensive, but after spending so much time with Lin Feng, Susan had become less sensitive to money.
Lin Feng nodded in agreement.
If it were just him, going anywhere would be fine, but with Susan, having a tour guide who could explain the planet’s history and local specialties was invaluable. She would also offer advice on accommodation, food, and transport, saving Lin Feng the trouble of researching and explaining everything himself.
This was what he called spending a little to achieve a lot!
“Alright, let’s go for a one-day experience first!”
Having made up his mind, Lin Feng didn’t hesitate. He raised his arm and swiped a hundred credits to the Lobster Man.
Most transit stars had personal terminals, which could connect to most signals in the universe. They served as proof of identity and a place to store currency.
“Certainly! I promise not to disappoint you!”
“Now, shall I start by introducing you to information about the planet?!”
Upon receiving the credits, the Lobster Man immediately got into character.
Customers who didn’t haggle were rare, especially those who paid upfront.
Normally, he would only receive his payment after a full day's work. Sometimes, if he encountered dishonest people, they would even deduct from his quoted price.
“Wow! Sister Susan, did you find a Lobster Man?!”
From a distance, Lin Jili, pulling Martina, ran over with her short legs, shouting.
She reached Susan and, with a bear hug, leaped into her arms.
She opened her big eyes and scanned the Lobster Man from head to toe, making him a bit uncomfortable.
“Be polite! This is our guide!” Susan chided gently.
“Mr. Lobster, please ignore her. Start telling us about this planet.”
Lin Feng chimed in from the side, “And find us a place to stay! The best one!”
The Lobster Man’s eyes lit up even brighter. These words clearly indicated they weren’t short on money!
“Alright.”
“But I’m not called Mr. Lobster, my name is Ka Ka Koot.”
“…Never mind, it doesn’t matter.”
“Next, allow me to introduce everything about the Karnier Transit Star to our esteemed guests!”
“Please, this way. We’ll talk as we walk!” The Lobster Man bent down and made a welcoming gesture.
As the group set off, the Lobster Man continued his spiel.
“The Karnier Transit Star has an area of approximately 792 million square kilometers.”
“More than 60% of it is land.”
“637 years ago, it was placed under the jurisdiction of the Alliance.”
“The planet is classified as F-level, a small to medium-sized, peaceful transit star.”
“Over twenty million life forms permanently reside on this planet, comprising 437 different species and speaking over 30 languages.”
The Lobster Man narrated the current state of Karnier.
Evidently, this planet was less than half the size of Blue Star.
Susan gasped at the mention of 437 species.
A small to medium transit star had so many alien races?
“However, among these species, we commonly see only 80 types, which are also the most populous races on the planet.”
“And there are 67 species that are rarely seen. They are all aquatic creatures living in different liquids.”
“They are concentrated in the southern hemisphere of the planet. To see them, you need to purchase a special ticket from the Alliance, which grants you a one-day tour!”
“Aren’t you an aquatic creature?” Lin Jili, cradled in Susan’s arms, asked curiously.
She pointed towards the street with her little hand.
“And that octopus-head, that catfish-head, aren’t you all aquatic creatures?”
“I apologize, young guest.”
“The two species you pointed out, including myself, are not aquatic creatures…”
“However, I was quite puzzled earlier. The guests seemed to have very strange names for us. What is a lobster? And what are catfish-head and octopus-head?”
“Uh, don’t mind it. Our planet also has creatures similar to yours, they just aren’t as large…” Lin Feng explained casually.
“Really? I’d be quite interested to see them if I have the chance,” the Lobster Man said with shining eyes.
Lin Feng’s mouth twitched.
No, I don’t think you would. After all, on Blue Star, all three of those are food…
You might not have noticed, but Lin Jili has been drooling several times…
Clearly, she was regarding the Lobster Man as a giant meal.
“Alright…” The Lobster Man wasn’t disappointed and continued to describe the transit star’s situation.
Lin Feng was not very interested, but Susan and the others listened with great fascination.
After about half an hour of walking and talking, the Lobster Man stopped.
“Esteemed guests, please allow me to proudly introduce the Paradise Tower!”
The accommodation the Lobster Man had brought them to was the most luxurious, largest, and tallest building on the transit star!
“It has nearly two hundred luxurious rooms and is guarded by an incredibly strong, fully armed security team.”
“Its level of luxury and security rivals accommodation on medium to large transit stars. Of course, it is also an Alliance-owned building!”
“It offers safety, luxury, and even complimentary meals and massage services, making it the ideal choice for resting and preparing for your journey.”
“The only drawback is its exorbitant price,” the Lobster Man smacked his lips.
“A regular room costs about twenty thousand credits per night.”
“Twenty thousand credits?” Susan couldn’t help but scrutinize the visible luxury before her.
While she wasn’t very sensitive to money, twenty thousand credits was equivalent to forty thousand US dollars.
Susan could only exclaim, “Good heavens!”
“Yes, twenty thousand credits, and that’s for a relatively ordinary room,” the Lobster Man said with a smile, his expression unchanged.
Lin Feng shrugged, “Twenty thousand credits is nothing. Let’s go inside!”
Let alone twenty thousand credits, Lin Feng could afford twenty million credits.
To him, credits were like dust on the ground; he had as much as he wanted, a mere flick of the Infinity Stones was enough.
“Esteemed guests, I will not be accompanying you inside!” the Lobster Man said at this point.
“Alright, wait here for a moment. We’ll get a room and drop off our luggage, then come down!”
With that, Lin Feng swiped another hundred credits to the Lobster Man as a tip.
The Lobster Man was so excited he nearly knelt down and called him daddy.
“Thank you, my generous and esteemed guest!”
The Lobster Man’s eyes gleamed as he bowed respectfully and retreated to the side of the door, awaiting Lin Feng.
Damn, these were truly rich people! A hundred credits as a tip? That was almost his entire day’s wage!
And luggage? He wasn’t carrying anything, so they likely had storage devices with space technology. Tsk tsk.
As for this kind of establishment, the Lobster Man wouldn’t go in. He could only gaze enviously.
Even the cheapest room was not something he could afford.
