The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 389 - 387: The Eternal One Hundred Star Coins

As the trees toppled over, a black shadow dropped from the sky.

Ms. Nian Shutong simply reached out a hand, and the falling object, as if it had eyes, landed right in her grasp.

"Hehe..."

"It really is a fated encounter."

In Ms. Nian Shutong’s hand was a pitch-black little monkey sculpture, unmistakably one of the zodiac animals, without even needing to look.

She had been wondering, after unlocking the Chicken Sculpture, if there should be another one next?

These past few days, while clearing land for the factory, she paid extra attention, worrying that she might come across it by chance.

Who would have thought, she was just casually walking around, and then she stumbled upon it.

Her somewhat gloomy mood had lifted with the appearance of the monkey sculpture.

"It seems I still feel cultivation is too slow."

"But I mustn’t rush, the more towards the end, the more stable I need to be."

Ms. Nian Shutong never associated this with Fu Yunhe; in her mind, Fu Yunhe was someone bound to leave sooner or later.

It’s just that the day came a bit earlier, but it was actually propelled by her own actions.

Had it not been for her healing Fu Yunhe’s body, he wouldn’t have left.

But Ms. Nian Shutong had no regrets, what’s done is done.

Having obtained the monkey sculpture, Ms. Nian Shutong drove Shadowless to the industrial park to continue working.

Her presence or absence at work made a huge difference.

Because Ms. Nian Shutong used spiritual power to chop down trees, and each move she made would clear a swath.

This was even under her control. Otherwise, doing things like moving mountains and flattening seas wasn’t beyond her ability.

All day, Ms. Nian Shutong worked diligently, her mind never restless again; she convinced herself she had been overthinking.

That evening, when Ms. Nian Shutong returned with Lin Mu and others, Fu Yunhe sought her out, reminding her to check her account.

"What’s the matter? Did you send me some money?"

As Ms. Nian Shutong spoke, she had already opened her Light Computer and looked for a while, uncertain, she looked up again at Fu Yunhe.

"Really? You’re just going to school, why send me all this money?"

Ms. Nian Shutong’s account had suddenly increased by over thirty billion Star Coins.

"It’s not me."

Fu Yunhe stepped forward, standing very close to Ms. Nian Shutong, and slightly bowed his head, just enough to see the top of her head.

A smile bloomed secretly and was promptly reined in as he pointed to his Light Computer, explaining to Ms. Nian Shutong.

"Netizens started an initiative, continuously buying Xiao He’s videos. Thousands of Xiao He’s videos were bought. With the number of people buying increasing, so did the money."

"Probably tens of millions of people are buying the videos."

"And the number is still growing, that’s why you received so much money."

Thus it was.

To see more clearly, Ms. Nian Shutong leaned forward and scrolled through the messages on Fu Yunhe’s Light Computer.

"It really is a blessing in disguise!"

"If this trend continues, I’ll earn back the money I spent on a sculpture, not to mention the seeds sold quite a bit too."

Something occurred to Ms. Nian Shutong, and she stepped back.

She didn’t see the slightly regretful look in Fu Yunhe’s eyes, just earnestly said to him, "The Nian Family bought a lot, and I made a nice sum of money."

"I’m quite looking forward to seeing their faces when they find out this can’t be kept as seeds."

"Just thinking about it makes me happy."

Ms. Nian Shutong was in an absolutely great mood, walking as if she were treading on air.

Fu Yunhe watched as Ms. Nian Shutong wandered off in a sideways, crab-like manner, then he turned to Rubble approaching and spoke with particular gusto.

"Rubble, you name the price, and I’ll pay!"

Stopped in his tracks, Rubble’s eyes sparkled with light, literally sparkling as he calculated.

"Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble only needs 34 trillion Star Coins."

Nian Shutong felt as if the air around her had halted.

Her previously swaggering stride, her grandiose wave, her smug expression all seemed to hit the pause button.

"Would you repeat that? How much do you want?"

"34 trillion Star Coins."

Rubble inquired earnestly, "Rubble can write it down for Ms. Nian Shutong to see."

"No need! There’s no need to write it down!"

Nian Shutong was already standing straight, her face donning a different expression as she struggled to ask,

"Wasn’t it just supposed to be 30 billion? What kind of growth is this, thirty-four million... billion?"

Rubble looked at Nian Shutong, not understanding, and calmly asked, "Wasn’t it Ms. Nian Shutong who inquired? Rubble merely stated the truth."

"Rubble’s research is progressing every day, the necessities differ, hence the requisite Star Coins also change."

"Rubble is an honest member of the Mechanical Clan, Rubble can show Ms. Nian Shutong the shopping list."

Nian Shutong didn’t distrust Rubble; she was just dumbstruck by the figure.

She needed to save money, for she had her plans, but she also wanted to support Rubble’s research.

Nian Shutong took a deep breath and said to Rubble, "Let’s go, what are you researching that I should see?"

"Alright."

Rubble turned and led the way, Nian Shutong followed into Rubble’s workspace.

It took about half an hour to go in and out, and when Nian Shutong emerged, her account was once again empty.

"I had to see it! I just had to see!"

"After seeing it, I am even more willing to pay!"

"The Starships won’t repair themselves, will they?"

"Building Blue Star isn’t supposed to be dealt with, is it?"

"Shouldn’t we have armed forces?"

"Don’t we need Mechas?"

Nian Shutong mumbled to herself as she walked out of Rubble’s studio, looking up at the blue sky the moment she stepped outside—so clear.

As pristine as her account.

Still, she gave willingly, for everything Rubble did, every research, was aiding Nian Shutong in building Blue Star.

She had no grounds for refusal, and far from refusing, she had to comfort Rubble, "I will work hard to make money."

When Fu Yunhe saw Nian Shutong come out of Rubble’s workspace listlessly, he knew the outcome.

Fu Yunhe, touching something in his pocket, walked towards Nian Shutong.

"This is for you."

A circular coin lay in the palm of Fu Yunhe’s hand.

"What’s this?"

Nian Shutong picked it up and looked; upon it was a number that read one hundred.

"Star Coin, this Star Coin represents that you have a property of one hundred star coins."

"Keep it safe, and with this, you won’t just have a string of zeros anymore; you will always have one hundred Star Coins."

Star Coin?

Nian Shutong was seeing a Star Coin for the first time; to her, Star Coins had always just been passing figures, mere numbers.

"Do Star Coins still exist in interstellar?"

"There were some once, but very few, everyone has a Light Computer, so we use digital currency."

"Don’t worry, it can circulate just the same."

Nian Shutong, quite fondly clenching the Star Coin in her hand, waved at Fu Yunhe.

"I won’t spend it, just like you said, I will always keep a property of one hundred Star Coins."

"Thanks, I really like it."
