Chapter 12: CH 12

Chapter 12

Xue Chi was sent out on an important errand last night. When he came to pick up Lu Boting early in the morning, he found that his marshal did not look right.

Adjutant Xue: “Marshal, what’s wrong?”

Lu Bo Ting hesitated for a moment before asking, “Do you think that Shi Nian is, in fact, a bit too arrogant?”

If he didn’t eat the food himself, he would still go ahead and make him eat the leftovers?

However, adjutant Xue did not know this, and instead nodded, “Marshal, you also think he is arrogant?”

In fact, he was already stunned by Shi Nian’s level of arrogance.

Xue Chi was still saying, “Maybe he is arrogant so that he won’t be bullied. Otherwise, he would have been bullied to death by that awful family and that ex-boyfriend.”

Of course, now was not the time to talk about it, they had a meeting this morning and have to leave earlier than usual.

There was not much going on with Shi Nian, he was on holiday today and sleeping soundly in bed. Of course, with an active brain he let his phoenix out and let it wander around and then eat a whole bunch of melon seeds.

The ‘bird’ mouth seems to have a bit of a unique talent for eating melon seeds, but the shortcomings are also obvious, the mouth is small. So he was a little slower than a human mouth, but he still ate them quite satisfactorily. Then came the pistachios and macadamia nuts.

The last three million had not yet been spent, and Marshal Lu gave him another five million with a wave of his hand, so Shi Nian’s snacks were now almost piling up in the house.

The entire first floor was his territory, and the little phoenix arrogantly finished patrolling his territory before running downstairs to eat ice cream.

It was really tasty and the bird loved it. Other people’s quantum beasts are definitely not allowed to eat, so he usually has to pretend in front of Lu Bo Ting.

It’s a good thing there was no one home now, so it definitely had a good time. After that, he went upstairs again slowly and took a look in the direction of the third floor at the stairway.

Alas, it’s all Lu Boting’s fault. Who told him to say it’s best not to go to the third floor, it just made him feel a little itchy. Now he understood why some spirits in dungeon games would kill their bosses. Because some bosses are really asking for it.

The little phoenix happily dumped on his the boss and went up to the first floor with his wings.

Just at this time, a communication came in, the phoenix took a look and found that it was Yan Huaxin, so he returned to his body and answered the communication.

“Shi Nian, are you ready, I’m ready to go, I’ll meet you at the pharmacy by the city centre in half an hour.”

As soon as the connection was made, Yan Huaxin’s voice emerged along with his face.

Shi Nian stood up and glanced at the time. It was only 8:30, still early.

“Okay.” He tidied himself up while replying, and proceeded to the bathroom to wash up. When he got to the cloakroom to pick out his clothes, he saw a new one that he had bought the day before. The texture was of pure cotton, plus a big sparkling phoenix beautifully printed on it.

There were different colors, from white to black, red, blue, green and yellow. At a hundred coins for seven T-shirts, Shi Nian bought two dozen, fourteen of them.

The red and the green were bright, but it was also hard to choose between then. In the end, Nin picked out the white one. His fair face stood out even more against the white background.

After picking out the outfit and changing into it, Shi Nian stood in front of the mirror admiring himself for a short while, took the milk and bread from the robot and ate them while boarding the flying machine.

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the place where he had an appointment with Yan Huaxin.

Yan Huaxin hadn’t arrived yet, so Shi Nian found a car park to put his flying machine and came out to wait. He was a good-looking man with a great temperament, and although he wasn’t wearing any designer clothes, he could even pull wearing a sack with his just face and look better than those in brands.

So as he stood there, he attracted a lot of attention.

Two female sentinels were whispering, “He’s so handsome!”

“Good temperament too, looks like a guide.”

“I wonder if going up there and asking for the light brain number would work out ……”

The other male guide next to them listened with his face twisted in flexion. The two female sentinels noticed that something was wrong and turned around. To see, it was a person they didn’t even know who was having a fit, so they changes their minds about asking for the Light brain, deflating and walking away.

The male guide, however, glared at Shi Nian in annoyance. With such a waste in mental power, Shi Nian can still attract the attention of others just because he has a good face.

What was the point of it.

He gritted his teeth, his face putting on a false smile, and walked up, “Yo, isn’t this Shi Nian, came to do shopping?!”

Shi Nian glanced at him and found that it was a classmate of the original owner when he was at Edge star. His name was Wang Aining.

He used to bully the original owner, looking for opportunities to ‘compare’ whose family was richer, to show off his family’s good condition, and to talk about whose mental power was better, mocking the original owner’s D-rank mental power.

In short, not a good thing.

Wang Aining came closer as if they were siblings, “You must have come here to shop at the pharmacy too, it just so happens that I did too, lets go together.”

“I heard that you got into the Phamarcy Department of the Sixth School of the Empire, congratulations. By the way, I’m in the Fifth School now, let’s hang out sometime later!”

There, the point was made. Shi Nian thought.

Wasn’t all this talk just to show that he had gotten into the fifth school. In the Empire, there was a constant chain of contempt between the six military schools on the main planet. From the first school to the sixth school, it basically flowed smoothly, and by saying that he got into the fifth school, isn’t it just to say that “I am better than you.”

“By the way, after the exams we had a class party, how come you didn’t come, it was the class president’s treat, so there was no need for you to pay ……” Wang Aining immediately said.

Because the original owner had always been frugal, even his cloths shopping was as economical as possible, but not to the point of not wanting to get together for a meal, that time there really was something.

But Wang Aining obviously didn’t care about that, and he took the opportunity to imply a little mockery. He looked at the clothes Shi Nian was wearing, and they looked like street stall-bought. Tsk, it looks like his classmate was still not doing well!

“By the way, we are going to get together again during the summer vacation this year. You must come!”

“Let’s go into the store and have a look.” Wang Aining said one sentence after another, and Shi Nian didn’t even have a chance to roll his eyes, he had already completed the big show by himself.

He pulled Shi Nian into the flower ingredients shop, while still showing off, “I’m actually here to buy  Qianbaihua flowers. You know, that stuff is rather expensive, it’s impossible for the school lab to dispense too much, to practice more, one still has to buy it themselves.”

“The good thing is that this time when I came out to school, my parents gave me a lot of interstellar coins, enough for me to be so extravagant.”

It was then that Shi Nian spoke, “As I recall, a Qianbaihua flowers are only 200,000 coins a plant?”

“Just two hundred thousand?”Wang Aining thought to himself, “You can’t even afford 20,000, but talking of 200,000.”

Look at the clothes you have on, do you have even 1000 coins?

At this moment, the robot from the pharmacy greeted them and welcomed them.

Shi Nian clicked on the robot and searched for Qianbaihua Flowers, he found that the price had recently been reduced to only 183,200 coins per plant and there were seven plants left in this shop.

Wang Aining also saw it and rejoiced in his heart, the price had been reduced, more than 100,000 coins were enough for him to do a lot of things.

After thinking about it, he beckoned the real attendant to come over. He enjoyed times like this the most, what sense of achievement was there in buying something so expensive from a robot.

“Give me one of these Qianbaihua  flowers you have.” Wang Aining said and looked at Shi Nian, “Shi Nian, do you want to buy one too, or is your school progressing slowly and you haven’t learned this yet?”

Annoyed with his occasional pulling and stomping, the reason why Shi Nian had put up with it until now was to ……

He tapped the light screen on the robot a few times and bought all of the last seven Qianbaihua  Flowers.

“What are you doing?” Wang Aining was instantly shocked, then said with an odd face, “Shi Nian, you don’t have to act like a big spender just to save face, it’s even more humiliating if you buy it and can’t pay for it later.”

And then turned to the real attendant said: “I’m sorry, can you see if this can be refunded, he is ignorant, poor student, how much money…”

As he was saying that, over there, Shi Nian had already clicked on the payment interface and paid with his light brain.

Wang Aining: “……”

A total of seven plants, all in pots, couldn’t be carried by one person. Shi Ninian left the address of the villa and booked another delivery time, someone would naturally deliver them to his door when the time came.

Wang Aining was dumbfounded.

The attendant next to him was not stunned. They didn’t have much money themselves, but they had seen a lot of rich people. Not everyone dressed in gold and silver, there are many who are dressed in a low profile, not to mention the young man in front of him had an extraordinary temperament.

Even if one looked they had no spirit and were wearing slippers, once the person swipes his card, that’s when you know that he is a big spender.

When he saw that Shi Nian obviously had no intention of using a real attendant, he understood that it was because he felt there was no need to trouble them, or because he just liked shopping alone and didn’t like being disturbed, so he didn’t take the initiative to come forward.

He just said to Wang Aining, who had called him over, “Excuse me, sir, the Qianbaihua flowers are already sold out, do you need anything else?”

Wang Aining couldn’t care less about him. At this moment, Wang Aining was staring at Shi Nian’s optical brain, which he knew costs 300,000 coins. He had looked at it on Starnet before, but his family did not agree to buy it for him, saying that it was flashy but not practical.

How could Ninian have it.

He flushed red for a while before asking dryly, “What kind of fortune have you made?”

“Got a part-time job.” Shi Nian said, “The boss is quite generous.”

“By the way, haven’t you got a job yet, good grades in schools like ours are in demand outside, and you’re in the fifth-school, so you must be even more sought after !”

He smiled even more ‘brotherly’ than Wang Aining had earlier, and gave the other man a skilled hand on the shoulder, “Sorry, I needed the Qianbaihua  flowers here too, so I bought them all first. But you can go to the next shop , although that one is always more expensive than this one, but you’re rich, you shouldn’t care about that, right?”

Shi Nian added, “You can’t be so stingy that you’re angry about this!”

Wang Aining: “Dang, of course not.”

“That’s good.” Shi Nian said, “Right, I’ve got an appointment, so I have to go out and see if they’ve cone, so we’ll get together later.”

He said as he walked out, generously waving at Wang Aining with his back turned.

Wang Aining: “……”

Yan Huaxin, who had just arrived a short while ago, also saw him and wondered, “What’s this action you’re taking, coming out to greet me?”

“No.” Shi Nian said, “Just pretending that’s all.”

“Well you’re here, let’s go. Where are we going to hang out?”
