Chapter 0008: Striking It Rich

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Hehe, it's quite effective to annoy the little girl; she is just a novice, nothing compared to those women who truly know how to use their beauty. Look, there must be more than two hundred pieces of good fortune falling from the sky; let's count them quickly

"Cut it out, not paying and still cursing, their face looks like they just lost their parents, who cares about that." William stood by, indignantly defending. The two tidied up and searched for a puddle, urgently needing to replenish their water supply, having not eaten normal food for several days, their stomachs often rumbling.

Another young moth flutters towards the flame, and the fate is predictable. Nanxing retracts the laser sword, feeling something within, and raises his head.

"Hehe, not strong, just lucky." Nanxing scratched his head awkwardly; he was not being modest, but it was indeed the case. Having an additional fifteen years of memories and experience in combat far exceeded that of a graduate, it was akin to an adult bullying a child! There was nothing to boast about.

Two portions, it is also a gesture of goodwill, do not stop me

The two financial enthusiasts were also captivated, gazing lustfully ahead. William exclaimed in disbelief, "Nanshing, this, this is just too blissful."

"Nanxing, what are you mumbling about? Someone is coming over there again." William said excitedly, as it was not just one person coming over, but many, just like last night.

Sigh! For the past three days, I have been reluctant to confront the most tragic parts of my memories, always clinging to a sense of hope. Could it be that these various figures are all products of a dream? Tsk tsk, the word 'hypocrisy' has made me more awake; why deceive myself? Nanxing shook his head with a bitter smile. Earning some money has given him a considerable boost in confidence; at the very least, he won't be overwhelmed when he returns home. If the family is truly in the dire straits as he remembers, the responsibility still falls on him, for there is no one else to clean up the mess, and if that happens, the family will fall apart.

Arrogant, two hundred portions? The flower protectors collectively gasped, secretly cursing such a big appetite. Two hundred portions of loot! Once taken to Galan Star, it could be exchanged for nearly ten thousand Federation coins. It is worth noting that earning eight hundred Federation coins in a month of service after graduation is already considered good. To save up ten thousand Federation coins would take a full year. This Xuanyuan Nanxing is something else, just a simple gesture, and yet he offers such an outrageous price.

What is our purpose?" Nanxing suddenly asked, puffing out his chest

Indeed, wealth and power are abundant. While graduates from the academy are competing in skills, they are also measuring financial strength and the influence behind them. At the very least, this young man who has stepped forward is surrounded by a group of bodyguards, making it quite easy for him to present fifty pieces of loot.

Everyone finally realized that making Lan Xinrui owe a favor would bring them closer to the goddess, leading to a sense of losing control

Those who dare to come up and fight without following the rules will be taken down, and all their lizard teeth and soft skins will be collected. Those who are honest and follow the rules will have matters handled according to the established procedures

The spoils before her piled up like a small mountain. Lan Xinrui had never dealt with such a situation before. She wanted to push everything back, but she also had to feign a demeanor and speak for quite a while. It was important to know that these boys were seizing the opportunity, eager to devour her whole. And that bastard Xuanyuan Naxing, with a look of amusement on his face, how could she possibly have the face to stay any longer?

On the treetop stood a young boy in black clothing, with two uniquely shaped purple eyebrows. He assumed a posture of superiority, as if he truly were high above everyone else

At dawn, people come to challenge. Lizard teeth and soft skin have a strong market on Galan Star. Those children who have not enrolled take pride in obtaining this gift. Although it does not sell for a high price, the accumulation adds up. With a few tens of thousands of pieces, they can count money until their hands cramp.

Someone shouted: "Hmph, I thought I was so impressive, but I'm just a guy who is blinded by money? Two hundred portions of lizard teeth and soft skin, I will offer fifty portions. If you, Xuanyuan Nanxing, can be trusted, I will give you eight thousand Federal Coins immediately upon returning to the academy, which will account for the remaining one hundred and fifty portions. Xinrui, I have already told you, any problem that can be solved with money is not considered a problem."

Lan Xinrui was furious! She clenched her silver teeth, stomped her feet in frustration, and cursed inwardly like a shrew: "Despicable, shameless. So I made a fool of myself for nothing. This is the first time I've apologized to a boy. If it were any of these people around me, they would have rushed over like little lapdogs, wagging their tails and trying their best to please me. Why is it so awkward with him? Does this guy like men? Yes, it must be that way. After just two days apart, he’s already with William. What kind of good person could he be? It's disgusting."

In my memory, the eldest brother resolutely took on the burden, but the following year he was parasitized by the Phantom Man on the battlefield, and when he was rescued, he had become a shell of his former self. The second brother had a poor psychological endurance and suffered from mild hemophobia, so as the third son, I had no choice but to step forward and take on all the responsibilities for my parents, including the share of the second brother, as well as the medical expenses for the eldest brother, all of which weighed heavily on my shoulders

A crowd of over a hundred people surrounded the beautiful woman in blue like stars encircling the moon. Nanxing thought to himself: "This Lan Xinrui! Among her peers, she may possess some cleverness, understanding how to leverage her own advantages to gain support. Now, she is unwilling to be used by others while wanting to maintain a good reputation, so she steps forward to say some pretty words, hoping to gloss over this matter. Unfortunately, she insists on putting on a pitiful act that is off-putting; it is too pretentious and too immature.

"Xin Rui, wait a moment, it is dangerous in the forest, I will protect you." Someone could not hold back, sprinting forward; once there was the first to chase, there was a second. Before long, the place was completely deserted.

Most people find it excessive, yet there are those who see opportunities within it, such as Nanxing and others.

The trouble has only just begun, but Nanxing and William are not at all afraid of the hassle

Nanxing nodded in satisfaction, as these were the ideas he had subtly conveyed to William during their casual conversation last night. It is no wonder, after all, that they had made a significant profit last night; it would be a miracle if the two of them could actually fall asleep! Their bodies had adjusted through a night of quiet meditation, so at least they would have no problem facing the challenges of today

Hypocrite! The young man with purple eyebrows snorted coldly, his figure floated to another treetop, and he departed with a long stride

No, how can I let you steal the spotlight alone? I will take five shares.

The young girl, throwing a tantrum, suddenly turned and ran into the forest, feeling particularly distressed in her heart. As she ran, tears streamed down her face, causing the group of admirers to be captivated, wishing to lend their shoulders for the goddess to lean on.

Make money, make a lot of money

Otherwise, how could there be endless tasks year after year? By the age of twenty-nine, I have never been in a relationship, only drowning my sorrows in a small tavern and idling away with those women of ill repute. Each time I return home, I wear a forced smile, not daring to express my exhaustion, yet I am indeed very tired. Perhaps after my death, I will be filled with regret, or perhaps I will be unable to let go of my family, which is why I would be reborn in this manner

Boom

At forty, the father of an eight-year-old, accustomed to a life of luxury, used to have family members arranged to assist him with tasks every year. But what about now? Is he expected to pick up the combat skills he has neglected for many years and go out to carry out missions? Are his three sons really going to watch their father go to his death?

The greedy duo is showing a tendency to transform into a robbery duo. A crisp voice came from the opposite side: "Brother Xuanyuan, Xinrui is convinced and respects you for your victory. The other day, I merely spoke a few words in anger, which led to misunderstandings. I apologize for any inconvenience caused to you and ask for your forgiveness."

"Cutting off someone's financial resources is akin to killing their parents, how chilling!" Nanxing chuckled and then spoke loudly: "Lan Xinrui, although I would very much like to accept your apology, your actions have caused great distress to me and my friends. I couldn't sleep a wink last night, and I still haven't recovered. Moreover, so many people are challenging me, and if I fall just short, I won't be able to return home to honor my parents, all because of your words! The news has already spread; what use is your apology now? Just a moment ago, a boy with purple eyebrows was nearby, possibly looking for an opportunity to ambush me. And so many people are challenging me, if I fall just short, I won't be able to return home to honor my parents, all because of your words! The news has already spread; what use is your apology now? Just a moment ago, a boy with purple eyebrows was nearby, possibly looking for an opportunity to ambush me. Am I supposed to tell those guys that it was all a misunderstanding? Would they believe me? Furthermore, this has affected the current assessment; you must make some reparations, right? Not much, just two hundred lizard teeth and soft skins will suffice."

Nanxing remained silent, walking while contemplating his thoughts. In truth, he had suffered for fifteen years, and this was not without reason. The primary source of his pain stemmed from his family; after his father's fall from power, former rivals intensified their oppression, and he was no longer under the protection of his family. It is important to note that federal citizens are required to complete random tasks every year until the age of sixty-five. This is relatively manageable for women, but not necessarily so for men, as his father had never considered an escape route.

Certainly, there are definitely not tens of thousands of copies, and it is also unlikely to have several thousand copies of the illustrated books. However, if this trend continues, there will certainly be a few hundred copies. If the two of them split the earnings, they could make around six to seven thousand Federal Coins, which is equivalent to a substantial sum for a fourteen-year-old graduate

"Who is it? Is it him? Purple Brow, I can't remember the name, but it seems everyone calls him Purple Brow." William shouted up at the tree, "Are you here to challenge? If we let Nanxing go up the tree to fight, the price will double."

According to the statistics, there are a total of three hundred and three lizard teeth and soft skins on the ground. Nanxing pondered for a moment and sighed, "We cannot bring all the spoils back to Galan Star. Let’s select the best specimens and sell the slightly inferior ones to the instructors on the same ship. Although this will result in some losses, it is still better than paying exorbitant shipping fees. Overall, it is not bad; we should still have around seventeen to eighteen thousand Federal Coins."

William, do you know this guy up in the treetop

Hello, brother, after you return, please do not forget to help us with more promotion. The price is one lizard's tooth and soft skin, absolutely fair and reasonable, honest to both young and old, and does not endanger life, thank you!" William helped the boy who had been knocked down by Nanxing, a smile on his face

"Nanxing, what do you think we should do?" William is anxious! He still needs some money for his ion cannon, and that thing is not cheap

"Hehe, it's better if they don't talk about rules and just come up to fight in a group," William said with a broad smile

You are very impressive! The young man with purple eyebrows has a sharp gaze, cool enough to make young girls scream

Hahaha, I've struck it rich, I've struck it rich, the amount exchanged is even more than what my mother earns in a year in federal currency. Let's go back to the camp, I hope Lan Xinrui will cooperate more, so that more people will come looking for trouble. William shouted ignorantly, making Nanxing sigh at the vigor of youth

"Yes, count, count." William nodded eagerly
