Chapter 15

【Topaz: Exaggerated, exaggerated, I'm already very satisfied with reaching this position. Speaking of which, I should thank you; if it weren't for you, I might still be trying to find ways to pull business.】

【System Message: Topaz sent you an exclusive red packet 【Click here to view】】

Red packet?

Lin Qi laughed immediately.

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

So he chose to open it without hesitation.

【System Message: Received 2,000,000 points from the Interastral Peace Bank.】

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 short of 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, you are a permanent partner of the company! If you have any project, just go to the company directly; it's approved in seconds, with a quota starting at one billion! If the audit is confused and says your project has a problem, 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 grab them yourself, right? 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 came to you.】

【Topaz: Then you really think highly of me!】

Pier Point.

In a luxury apartment.

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

Beside her were not only several cats that were well-groomed, but also an extraterrestrial creature with a strange appearance but inexplicably cute.

This girl is none other than Topaz.

"What are you doing, I can easily get other things for you, but you actually want a life planet? And it has to be human-like life?"

Topaz was a bit troubled.

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

Not to mention limiting the race.

Speaking of which.

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

Otherwise, where would he need to buy?

Just find a remote planet and threaten them directly.

What?

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 still have backbone. 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, which can allow you to buy a planet with people on it at a low cost, but I can't guarantee 100%, how about it, are you interested?】

【Lin's Curios: Briefly explain.】

【Topaz: Cancer of the Worlds—Stellaron, you know this, right?】

【Lin's Curios: I know, I've even studied it.】

【Topaz: After the Stellaron began to spread in the universe, many planets under the company's name encountered crises, and even completely lost contact, many of which were human-like life-dominated planets. The investments in these planets have now become the company'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 no problem, but these planets might not have a single person, right?】

【Topaz: Don't be anxious; I won't pit you. I selected some planets from the company's bad debt library that are more likely to still have life; there might not be many people, but there shouldn't be zero. 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.】

……

"Doesn't look very good."

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

No wonder using Herta's Felix Felicis resulted in nothing happening, which was seen as a kind of luck.

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

"Forget it, anyway, it's just for fun; 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 buy one get one free for you?】

【Lin's Curios: That would be great.】

【Topaz: Dream on! The company 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 the money for this planet to you. After all, the company can't pit anyone, let alone a permanent partner.】

【Lin's Curios: Then it's settled.】

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

【Topaz: What rumored boyfriend, never heard of it! Think about it yourself!】

【System Message: Topaz has gone offline.】

……

Seeking flowers, seeking evaluation~

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

16. Hanya: Sister's mission is not simple

"Ran away, is that okay."

Lin Qi didn't expect Topaz to go offline; he clearly just 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 the vast majority of her achievements to receiving Lin Qi's help, that is, the mass-produced curios were basically operated by Topaz.

Then they made up a scandal.

In fact, the reason Lin Qi designated Topaz to operate the curios was to obtain more influence points.

But what's surprising is that this scandal actually spread to the Luo Fu.

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.

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 reserve is he pretending to have?

Although here, sixty years old doesn't count for anything.

"Ask clearly another day."
