Chapter 14

[Topaz: Exaggerated, exaggerated; I'm already very satisfied to be in this position. Speaking of which, I have to thank you; if it weren't for you, I might still be trying to find business.]

[System Message: Topaz sent you an exclusive red envelope [Click here to view]]

Red envelope?

Lin Qi laughed immediately.

No one dislikes red envelopes, and Lin Qi is no exception.

So he chose to open it without hesitation.

[System Message: Interastral Peace Bank received 2,000,000 points.]

Good guy, two million!

It's really a big deal.

The purchasing power of one Credit is roughly equivalent to one yuan RMB.

So two million is definitely not a small amount.

[Topaz: Not much money, please forgive me, but you shouldn't be lacking this little bit.]

[Lin's Curios: No! I'm very short of it!]

[Topaz: Why? Do you have a big project?]

[Topaz: Did you forget that you are a permanent partner of the Corporation! If you have any projects, just find the Corporation; they are approved in seconds, with a quota starting at one billion! If the audit is confused and says your project has problems, I will pull the entire Strategic Investment Department to reason with them!]

[Lin's Curios: Let's talk about the big project later; I want to buy a few planets to play with.]

[Topaz: You still need to buy planets? Just catch them yourself! You are the most famous legendary Star-Picker in the universe!]

[Topaz: Wait, you don't want to buy planets with life, do you?]

[Lin's Curios: You guessed it! Preferably human-like life, if not, human-like is fine.]

[Topaz: ...]

[Topaz: I finally know why you said you were short of money; such planets are indeed very expensive, and the most important thing is that there is no market for them.]

[Lin's Curios: That's why I'm looking for you.]

[Topaz: Then you really think highly of me!]

Belobog.

In a luxury apartment.

A young woman with short white hair was lying on a soft bed, frowning and thinking while holding her phone.

Beside her were not only several well-groomed cats but also an astral creature that looked strange but was inexplicably cute.

This girl was none other than Topaz.

"What are you doing, I can get you anything else, but you want a life planet? And it has to be human-like life?"

Topaz was in a dilemma.

There are many life planets in the universe, but there are not many that are fully controlled by the Corporation and can be traded.

Not to mention the restriction on the race.

Speaking of which.

This is also because Lin Qi still retains the most basic morality.

Otherwise, why would he need to buy them?

Just find a remote planet and threaten and lure them directly.

What?

The people on the planet have backbone and might rather die than surrender?

Just pick the star orbiting the planet for you, and see if you have backbone or not? I'm afraid you don't know how the name of the legendary Star-Picker came about.

In short, buying a planet is more troublesome to some extent.

"Maybe I can do this..."

Topaz pondered for a while, checked some information, and then sent a message to Lin Qi again.

[Topaz: I have a good way to let you buy a planet with people on it at a low cost, but I can't guarantee it 100%, how about it, are you interested?]

[Lin's Curios: Briefly explain.]

[Topaz: Cancer of All Worlds—Stellaron, you know this, right?]

[Lin's Curios: I know, I've even researched it.]

[Topaz: After the Stellaron began to spread in the universe, many planets under the Corporation's name encountered crises and even completely lost contact, including many planets dominated by human-like life. The investments in these planets have now become the Corporation's bad debts; if you are willing to take them over, I can make the decision to sell them to you at a 10% discount.]

[Lin's Curios: A 10% discount is fine, but these planets might not have a single person on them, right?]

[Topaz: Don't be anxious; I won't pit you. I selected some planets from the Corporation's bad debt library that have a higher probability of still having life; there might not be many people, but there shouldn't be no one at all. Take a look.]

[System Message: Topaz sent you a file [Click to view]]

Lin Qi opened the file and browsed it.

[Altas-IX: Encountered a bug disaster, lost contact for over four hundred years, current status: ruins.]

[Jarilo-VI: Successively encountered the Antimatter Legion and the Stellaron disaster, lost contact for over six hundred years, current status: unknown.]

[Tahir-V: Encountered the passing of a Lord Ravager, lost contact for three hundred and fifty years, current status: wreckage.]

……

"They all look not very good."

Looking all the way down, Lin Qi couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder nothing happened after using Herta's Felicity Potion, which was seen as a kind of luck.

The universe is too dangerous; without some means of self-protection, you wouldn't know how you died.

"Forget it, it's just for fun anyway; if there are still people, I'll save them, if there's no one, I'll treat it as buying a few big glass balls."

Thinking this, he picked up his phone and replied.

[Lin's Curios: Can it be cheaper if I buy more?]

[Topaz: Do you want me to do a buy-one-get-one-free for you?]

[Lin's Curios: That would be great.]

[Topaz: Dream on! The Corporation isn't opened by me; a 10% discount is already very low! How about this, if there are really no assets left on the planet, and nothing is left, I will refund you the money for this planet. After all, the Corporation wouldn't pit anyone, let alone a permanent partner.]

[Lin's Curios: Then it's settled.]

[Lin's Curios: By the way, there's one more thing I almost forgot to ask, do you have any clues about the "rumored boyfriend of the newly promoted Stoneheart" news?]

[Topaz: What rumored boyfriend, never heard of it! Go think about it yourself!]

[System Message: Topaz has gone offline.]

……

Seeking flowers, seeking evaluation~

ps: Also, ten-pull double gold, please be aware.

16. Miss Miss Xueyi: Sister's mission is not simple

"Ran away, is that okay?"

Lin Qi didn't expect Topaz to go offline; he clearly asked one more question.

However, the reason for that rumor is actually easy to guess.

It's nothing more than Topaz being promoted too fast, and some people are jealous.

And they attributed most of her achievements to receiving Lin Qi's help, that is, the mass-produced Curios were basically operated by Topaz.

Then they made up rumors.

In fact, the reason Lin Qi designated Topaz to operate the Curios was because he could gain more influence points.

But what's surprising is that this rumor even spread to the Luofu.

What's even more surprising is Topaz's attitude.

It seems she didn't refuse very much?

"There's a problem."

Lin Qi pondered for a while and didn't pay too much attention to it.

However, if Topaz's attitude was really as he thought, he definitely wouldn't refuse.

A person who is almost sixty years old in two lifetimes, what kind of coyness is he pretending to have?

Although sixty years old doesn't mean anything here.

"Ask clearly another day."
