Chapter 267: with translation of chapter title

The car stopped.

The driver in a black suit opened the car door, and upon seeing the girl in the back seat step out, he quickly went to the rear,

He picked up the luxury items that had just been purchased and stored inside, with a fawning smile, and carefully handed them to her.

The girl wore a blue dress, draped a white scarf over her shoulders, and wore a pair of thin high-heeled shoes.

Her long hair was coiled atop her head with an expensive hairpin, she also wore a pearl necklace around her neck, wore heavy makeup, and had a beautiful face.

The driver thought, after all, she was the young lady of a wealthy family; at least two-thirds of each month she spent buying clothes and bags, the rest of the time she was constantly showing off at school, but fortunately the wages were high enough.

"Miss, the latest styles of this season are all here." the driver said respectfully.

"It's only for this season; before long, these things will be useless."

Shanye Yao looked at the various items filling both her hands and said indifferently, after all, her family had plenty of money.

Watching her departing back, the driver, with a fawning expression, said, "Take care."

Shanye Yao walked into a tall building complex; this was where she currently resided temporarily.

The air still faintly scented with perfume; this was the most upscale apartment here.

Just as she was waiting for the elevator, a girl in a sailor uniform stood behind her.

"Did you buy all of those?" Meizi'er said, looking at the items Shanye Yao was carrying in both hands.

"Yes." Shanye Yao, playing with her earrings in front of the reflective wall, said nonchalantly.

She used the mirror to size up Meizi'er from head to toe; the result was obvious—she definitely didn't have as much money as herself.

She looked young, but when she went out she only wore a school uniform, clearly from an ordinary family.

With such a family background, even if she worked hard her whole life, she could never catch up to me.

"Do you really like buying a lot of stuff?" Meizi'er asked, looking at Shanye Yao's arms full of things.

"Is this little amount considered a lot?"

"Indeed not." Meizi'er said.

"I'm very satisfied with your vast, pitiful desire, because this way I can produce more cellular coins to complete my mission."

A voice full of desire and temptation, like an older sister's, sounded from behind Shanye Yao.

Meizi'er reverted to her true form, her current appearance reflected in the smooth white tiles.

She held a cellular coin in her hand; with a light push, it entered Shanye Yao's head, and Yummy instantly began to materialize.

Shanye Yao herself merely blinked, then returned home.

"What kind of Yummy is the one just produced? I'm really curious."

Meizi'er looked at the apartment piled with expensive clothes and shoes, a smile appearing on her originally pure face.

"You came back so quickly; I thought my request was too much."

Jiang Xia looked at Meizi'er as she pushed the door open, slightly surprised.

"No harming others and no desire that quickly accumulates cellular coins; satisfying both desires at once is indeed difficult, but this doesn't stump me."

Meizi'er took off her little leather shoes, walked barefoot on the floor, and blew a big bubble with the gum in her mouth.

"The target you chose is indeed not bad; Shanye Yao is a girl originally born in the countryside, with a father who does business overseas."

"So after entering the city, she would choose to use money to conceal her background, and then sink deeper and deeper."

Looking at the data on the target Meizi'er had selected, Jiang Xia nodded slightly in satisfaction.

"This desire can indeed produce a huge amount of Yummy; the overspent money can be covered by Hongshang Group's funds."

Hearing Jiang Xia's satisfied answer, Meizi'er's eyes lit up. The big bubble she had been blowing instantly smeared onto her little face, but she didn't mind.

She quickly took off the gum and threw it into the trash can.

"Since the requirements are met, shouldn't I replenish the cellular coins in my body? If I continue like this, those special cellular coins will be used up, and I'll be worse off than dead."

Meizi'er pretended to be weak, knelt on the ground, then lifted her head and looked pleadingly at Jiang Xia.

"In just one day, what on earth have you looked at?"

"Do you still remember what ratio we agreed on?"

Jiang Xia looked at the pleading beautiful girl, not softening at all; instead, she was utterly unaffected and calmly asked.

"1 to 100." Meizi'er straightened up, extremely unwillingly speaking.

"That's right; based on meeting the requirements, one special coin that maintains the five senses can be exchanged for your 100 ordinary cellular coins."

"Of course, experiments are calculated separately."

Jiang Xia looked at Meizi'er kneeling on the ground, gently patted her head, and said:

"So for your feelings, you need to work hard to exchange for a better life, right? Go to work."

"Damn, this guy actually dares to exploit me; if I couldn't beat him, I would definitely eat you bite by bite."

Although Meizi'er thought that, she still obediently stood up, dared not complain, and went to clean.

When the Core Coin was incomplete, this thing was her lifeline.

If she hadn't experienced it, it would be fine, but now she has experienced the real thing,

the feeling of being obtained without devouring humans—how could one possibly say give up and just give up?

Actually, this ratio was the optimal one Jiang Xia arranged after estimating Meizi'er's speed of acquiring cellular coins.

This way Meizi'er could remain in a living state, but not so long that she would simply disappear.

However, if an accident really occurred and she couldn't gather the cellular coins she should exchange, Jiang Xia would also lend her some, interest calculated separately.

After all, Jiang Xia has as much of this stuff as he wants inside him, and he also wants to try using Alchemical Art to see if this effect can be maintained.

At that moment the phone rang; he didn't even look, just answered directly, because he knew who it was.

"Happy birthday, Jiang Xia."

Hongshang Guangsheng's voice grew even louder, to the point of being rather noisy.

"What's the matter?"

He pressed a button, setting his phone to projection mode.

Hongshang Guangsheng was standing in the office, wearing a spotless white apron around their waist and a chef's hat on their head; at a glance it was clear they were baking a cake again.

"The Alchemical Art data you left behind and our Hongshang Group's restored artificial Alchemical Art have combined, and now we have made great progress; this is a day worth celebrating."

Jiang Xia recalled the time they gave him the data; it shouldn't have been more than a few days ago, and it's already been analyzed? "The important breakthrough in Alchemical Art is all thanks to the genius of our research on the coin system, Dr. Makoto Kiyoto." Hongshang Guangsheng exclaimed excitedly.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Makoto Kiyoto." He introduced himself expressionlessly.

Beside the projection on Jiang Xia's wall appeared someone wearing a black suit and round-frame glasses,

On their right hand sat a middle-aged man holding a white doll.

"Hello, Dr. Makoto."

Jiang Xia leaned back on the sofa, looking at this future Dinosaur Greed, giving a slight nod to say hello.
