Chapter 41

【Shajin: Hey, friend, you okay? Just a joke earlier—hope you don't mind.】 Shajin smiled as he spotted Stelle's arrival.

【Stelle: It's fine. I don't mind.】 Stelle was slightly surprised by Shajin's attitude but didn't care.

【Shajin: I apologize for my rudeness. Here—ten thousand credit points—a small token of goodwill, my compensation.】 Shajin suddenly pulled out his phone and moved to transfer funds to Stelle.

【Stelle: Then I won't be polite!】 Following the principle that good deals shouldn't be refused, Stelle swiftly pulled out her phone and accepted Shajin's credit points.

【Shajin: That's the spirit! Between friends, no need for formality. If you need anything, just say the word—I've got you covered.】 Shajin was pleased with Stelle's action.

【Shajin: I've got things to attend to—I'll take my leave. I'm sure we'll meet again soon.】 After locking eyes with the silent March 7th, Shajin began to take his leave.

Then the two walked off side by side.

March 7th: "Hey!! Stelle!"

March 7th: "Don't you think you're being pathetically weak?"

March 7th: "He was just harassing us a moment ago, and now you're practically crawling over to chat with him—and taking his money?"

March 7th stared at the scene, utterly baffled.

Stelle: "How fresh."

Stelle: "You saw it yourself—he insisted on giving me the money. I didn't force him. Why shouldn't I take it?"

Stelle: "Besides, corporate executives are all rich. Ten thousand credit points? That's barely enough to make him look stingy!"

Stelle rejected March 7th's words and declared that Shajin's offering was far too small—not even enough to cover a single toothpick.

Shajin: "My apologies, friend. I was too narrow-minded."

Shajin: "If we meet again, I'll give you a truly sincere red envelope."

Stelle: "Do we have to wait to meet? Can't you give it to me now?"

Stelle: "My account number is xxxxxxx."

Stelle: "Brother Rich, just give me a few million credit points—let me see your strength!"

Shajin: "......"

"A few million credit points?"

"Hmph. It seems Miss Stelle has mistaken me for a sucker—a cash machine."

"Fine, fine. If you want to catch a wolf, you've got to sacrifice a child. A few million credit points? I'll give them to you."

"After all, it's just pocket change..."

Shajin saw Stelle's message,

first let out a bitter laugh.

Then he truly pulled out his phone,

and began the transfer!

【Ding! Interstellar Peace Bank Notification:】

【Your account ending in xxxx has received a transfer of 8,888,888 credit points!】

Inside the carriage,

Stelle heard her phone chime,

opened it, and immediately saw the message.

"No way!!"

"I was just joking!"

"He actually transferred it?!"

Stelle, stunned by the message, blurted out in shock.

"What?!"

"He really transferred money to you?!"

"Good heavens!!"

"It's over eight million!!"

"Is he insane?"

March 7th, hearing Stelle's cry, immediately looked at her phone,

only to discover that Shajin had transferred her a full eight million-plus credit points!

It was utterly incomprehensible to her!

"Hahaha."

"He's a genuinely honest guy!"

"March, this is our chance to get rich!"

"You go ask him too!"

Stelle beamed as she tucked her phone away, then urged March 7th to follow her example and ask Shajin for money!

"What? I'm not doing that!"

"That's just too pathetic!"

"I can't bring myself to beg like that!"

March 7th shook her head wildly,

declaring she wouldn't accept such charity.

declared that he would not eat such charity food.

"How much is that worth?"

"Forget it. If you're too shy, I'm not—I'll ask for you!"

"Forget it, you're too shy—I'm not! I'll ask for you!"

Even if someone's willing to pay, don't take it.

Stelle thought March 7th was an absolute fool.

So, motivated by concern for her good sister,

Stelle stepped in again and asked Sandgold for credit points.

Stelle: "Thank you, Brother Rich, for your generous red packet! May good people live in peace!"

Stelle: "But I have another sister who lives in extreme hardship—she can't even afford one hot meal a day. I hope Brother Rich can lend her a hand!"

Stelle: "I bow my head to Brother Rich! Thud thud thud! (head-bowing. jpg)"

Stelle entered the live stream and typed out this message without even thinking.

Sandgold: "......"

Sandgold: "I..."

In reality, Sandgold stared at Stelle's message, his temple veins bulging.

"Huh..."

"Forget it, forget it—it's just money, right?"

"I've got more than enough. Give it to her!"

"Besides, she'll have to pay me back—with interest—sooner or later!"

Sandgold took a deep breath,

suppressed his furious emotions,

and transferred another sum to Stelle.

【Ding, Interstellar Peace Bank notification】

【Your account ending in....】

As a voice sounded,

Stelle received Sandgold's transfer.

"Here it comes!"

"Did you see?"

"I just got you over eight million credit points!"

"How are you going to thank me?"
