Chapter 113

Xu Zi'an would be a fool to harvest before ten years, which is before the second grade.

At the very least, he had to wait until the second grade, when it needed a second injection of Wealth Points, to carry out a large-scale harvest.

That would be the most cost-effective.

As for that first stalk of Steel-Bone Grass, he would just leave it there and let it continue to grow.

Xu Zi'an wanted to see if it could eventually grow to the limit of Steel-Bone Grass, which was the third grade.

That is to say...

A hundred-year-old Steel-Bone Grass!

Steel-Bone Grass could only grow to a hundred years at most, after which it would wither rapidly.

At least that was the case without using Wealth Points.

He didn't know if, after using Wealth Points, the Steel-Bone Grass would break through its age limit; that remained to be seen.

He would see when the time came.

After confirming that the natural treasures he planted and cultivated had no problems.

Xu Zi'an was satisfied.

It was still early.

So he entered the system and continued his learning journey.

Another night passed.

Early in the morning.

Xu Zi'an first came to the cultivation room.

Sure enough.

The Star-Gazing Flower had also reached the second grade, and its vitality began to weaken.

Additionally, the Star-Gazing Flower had also grown seeds, which could be used for planting!

He threw 100 Wealth Points at it, and the Star-Gazing Flower regained its vitality.

Xu Zi'an then ordered the drone to start planting the Star-Gazing Flower as well.

Planting in the remaining 11 planting areas.

The extra seeds.

Like the Steel-Bone Grass seeds, were stored in the crisper box first.

He would deal with them later.

The first stalk of Steel-Bone Grass, as expected, still had a growth rate of one year per day.

It was now twelve years old.

At the same time, he injected 10 Wealth Points into the Star-Gazing Flower seeds.

After confirming that its vibrant vitality had no issues.

Xu Zi'an then left, satisfied.

Driving the Audi Star-Shuttle.

He flew toward the residential area of Sister Haitang.

Sister Haitang’s residence.

Was on an iceberg at the North Pole of the accommodation planet.

A sky-blue building was built on the thick ice, and in front of the building was the bone-chilling water of the North Pole.

Here, ordinary people could hardly survive.

But for bio-warriors, even without wearing space armor, it was no problem, let alone wearing space armor, where they wouldn't feel a bit of cold.

When Xu Zi'an drove the Star-Shuttle over, there were two starships, one large and one small, parked on the landing pad next to the building.

The large one was naturally Sister Haitang’s cruiser, the Sea Sea Siren.

The small one was a relatively niche starship.

About fifty meters or so.

Only a little larger than his original Brilliant.

As expected.

It seemed this starship was the one he needed to evolve.

Because he was driving a Star-Shuttle.

He drove the Star-Shuttle directly to the entrance of the building.

This was the convenience of the Star-Shuttle.

It was indeed quite convenient.

"You're here."

Just as Xu Zi'an walked in, Sister Haitang’s cold, magnetic voice came over.

Looking up, Sister Haitang was sitting on a spacious sofa, looking at something on her optical brain watch.

Everyone’s optical brain watch, although a virtual projection.

Its content could only be seen by oneself.

Unless you actively share the content, others cannot see it.

On the other side of the sofa, a petite girl sat upright.

The girl had a somewhat demure appearance, with above-average looks.

Xu Zi'an nodded and sat down casually: "Mm, is this the student who wants to evolve her starship?"

Seeing Xu Zi'an come here and sit down so casually, the girl couldn't help but look a bit dazed.

Sister Haitang, as if she hadn't noticed, nodded and said: "Mm, it’s her, also a freshman this year, from our research department, named Liu Liu Nana."

Xu Zi'an’s expression suddenly became a bit strange: "Our research department... you are also in the research department?"

Sister Haitang replied casually: "When I was studying, I was in the star warfare department."

"Now that I’m a lecturer, I happen to be quite interested in researching natural treasures."

"There are many teachers in the star warfare department, but few in the research department; is it strange for me to be a teacher in the research department?"

Xu Zi'an was speechless.

But he couldn't be bothered with these things.

He looked up and asked: "Liu Liu Nana, tell me first how many evolution points you have."

Xu Zi'an had always been a person who didn't like to talk nonsense.

Liu Liu Nana quickly replied: "I currently have a total of 286 evolution points!"

Everyone’s evolution points would be displayed in detail by the starship’s optical brain.

Even everyone’s bio-energy could be detected through specialized instruments.

Now everything had been digitized.

"286."

Xu Zi'an thought for a moment and said: "Then what is the overall quality of your starship now?"

Liu Liu Nana’s expression was a bit embarrassed: "The overall quality is green fine..."

"I gathered so many evolution points just so I could evolve the starship to an overall blue rare quality."

Xu Zi'an laughed: "Blue rare is definitely no problem."

He paused and didn't say much else: "Alright, leave it to me, I’ll get it done in three days at most."

Liu Liu Nana nodded happily, then hesitated and said: "Then, student Xu Zi'an... what is your fee standard..."

"Let’s make it 100 credits!"

Xu Zi'an thought for a moment and said.

Exchanging from the school, it was equivalent to 1 million.

And if you really talk about its purchasing value, it wouldn't be less than three million.

It was his first business order in school, and it was introduced by Sister Haitang.

Giving her a discount would be just right to make a splash.

This way, he would have a steady stream of students coming to him for evolution in the future.

Credits...

He certainly wouldn't be short of them.

Who knew, when Xu Zi'an offered this credit amount, Liu Liu Nana also hesitated slightly.

Sister Haitang, who was on the side, suddenly said: "Liu Nana, listen to him."

"100 credits, you won't lose out."

Seeing Liu Liu Nana’s expression and hearing what Sister Haitang said, Xu Zi'an immediately understood the reason.

This Liu Liu Nana...

Was probably prepared for an overall blue rare quality.

If it were really a standard evolution to blue rare, in fact, it wouldn't really need 100 credits.

But...

Since Xu Zi'an wanted to make a splash, how could he just give her an overall blue rare quality?

So he smiled: "You might have misunderstood."

"You have 286 evolution points."

"With these evolution points, in my hands, evolving it to an overall red excellent quality is no problem at all."

"So, I am charging based on the fee standard for red excellent quality."

"Of course, if you don't need red excellent quality and only need an overall blue rare quality, that’s also no problem."

"Market price, 50 credits will do."

Xu Zi'an’s words left Liu Liu Nana stunned.

"R-red excellent overall quality?"

She couldn't believe her ears.

Xu Zi'an smiled: "Mm, it’s up to you to choose."

Choose?

Even a fool would know how to choose!

Liu Liu Nana didn't hesitate at all, nodding frantically with an incredibly surprised expression.

Nodding while saying: "Yes, yes!"

"T-then, red excellent quality!"

"I have a total of 126 credits, I-I am willing to give them all to you!"

Red excellent quality!

Red excellent and blue rare.

Don't look at it as just a one-tier difference.

But!

Red excellent is much better than blue rare.

The evolution price is also vastly different.

At the normal market price, Xu Zi'an charging 200 credits would definitely not be expensive.

Xu Zi'an waved his hand: "Let’s just make it 100."

"Follow me to Brilliant Island later."

"I’ll strive to get it done for you within three days at the latest..."

"By the way, do you still have the money? You need to prepare at least two million."

Liu Liu Nana nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! I still have two million!"

Xu Zi'an shrugged: "Then there’s no problem."

Sister Haitang, who was on the side not knowing what she was busy with, saw that the two had finished talking.

She immediately waved her hand and said: "Since you’ve finished talking."

"Then go and attend to your business."

Xu Zi'an had come to Sister Haitang’s place this time, how could he just leave like this.

He asked with a smile: "Hai... mm, do you have anything to do recently?"

He didn't know why.

He always felt he couldn't bring himself to call Sister Haitang 'Teacher'.

Sister Haitang didn't mind, and asked in confusion: "Recently it’s alright, mainly researching some natural treasures..."

"Why, do you have something?"

Xu Zi'an nodded and said: "Nothing much these past few days."

"But in half a month at most, I want to ask you to be the guardian for my cruiser!"

"I want to go out and hunt space pirates!"

Sister Haitang was immediately stunned: "Your bio-energy is almost full again?"

It was no wonder she was like this.

When she followed Xu Zi'an here.

Xu Zi'an was only at Tier 5!

Halfway through, he evolved to Tier 6.

A few days after returning to school, he rose to Tier 7.

Now...

His bio-energy was almost full again?

Was she the one who was one of the ten geniuses of the Earth Federation, or was it Xu Zi'an?

How did it feel faster than her own cultivation back then!

Xu Zi'an naturally wouldn't explain in detail.

Fortunately...

This world allowed for cultivation geniuses.

His cultivation speed was fast, yes.

But it hadn't exceeded the scope of common understanding.

He immediately nodded frankly: "Yes."

"I feel it’s close, at most another half a month, and it should be full."

Sister Haitang was speechless, but couldn't be bothered to ask more.

The shock Xu Zi'an gave her in terms of cultivation speed was actually far less than his star warfare talent and evolutionist talent.

So she didn't ask any more and said: "In half a month, I should have nothing to do."

"When the time comes, you apply for it and just designate me as your guardian."

Xu Zi'an laughed: "Alright."

"Then I’ll be troubling you when the time comes..."

"I’ll treat you to a big meal later!"

Sister Haitang gave Xu Zi'an a beautiful and cold eye-roll.

Treating her to a big meal later.

On their way to Shenzhou Academy.

Even the money for a drink was paid by her, and he wanted to treat her?

On the side.

Liu Liu Nana’s eyes were becoming more and more strange.

Her gaze kept moving back and forth between Xu Zi'an and Teacher Sister Haitang...

She didn't know why.

She always felt that the relationship between the two seemed very strange!

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange.
