Chapter 101: There Is Nothing That Money Cannot Solve

What kind of wild talk is he spouting?

Ruan Mian was shocked by his words; what was he saying, what did he mean by "why not just buy it"?

What was he going to buy?

Buy this planet?

"No, what did you just say?"

Huo Junze tapped his fingers a few times, and his Light Brain projected another document, "Hmm, I remember that Wasteland Garbage Planet is an ownerless planet; it can be bought."

Seemingly to prove the truth and reliability of his words, he extended his wrist a bit further so that Ruan Mian could see clearly.

Sure enough, it was written very clearly: LJ01, Planet Owner: None.

And then?

What was the point of showing her this?

If she could afford to buy a planet, would she still be living here in a miserable tin house?

She would have long since been living in the little villa she dreamed of.

"I think, this matter, it's still..."

"It's done."

Ruan Mian:?

What was done?

Immediately after, her Light Brain received a document, sent over by the person beside her.

It was a purchase contract, a purchase contract for LG01.

If she wasn't mistaken, it was the very planet she was currently on.

He really just bought it as soon as he said he would!

At twenty, she had to hesitate even to buy a piece of candy; at one hundred and two, he bought a planet as if it were a head of cabbage.

As expected, she had underestimated the level of wealth of rich people.

As her gaze continued downward, when Ruan Mian saw the name in the owner column of this planet clearly.

She almost bit the tip of her tongue.

The planet owner column actually had her name filled in, and it even included her personal information.

In other words, this planet was now hers!

"Did you... fill it out wrong..."

Especially when she saw the several zeros trailing after the transaction amount in the purchase contract.

She felt the very tip of her heart trembling.

Even the spare change here could buy her life!

"?" A look of confusion appeared in Huo Junze's eyes.

He seemed unable to understand why she would ask this; wasn't it already written very clearly on the contract?

"Is your information wrong? I copied your information directly from the contract we signed; is there a problem somewhere?"

There was a problem everywhere, okay!

"No, I mean, didn't you buy this planet? Why did you write my information?"

"Because it was bought for you in the first place."

She was frightened by such a grand gesture from him.

Ruan Mian seemed to be frozen, losing her ability to react.

A pair of slightly upturned almond eyes widened a fraction.

A glimmer of light ignited in her amber pupils.

"I, this, this is truly too valuable."

It wasn't that she couldn't accept it, but she subconsciously felt some fear, very afraid that this little life of hers might inadvertently step into a huge pit.

And then it would be all over.

"One should not accept a reward without merit; this is too valuable, I cannot accept it."

"Too late."

Ruan Mian: "?"

"What?"

Huo Junze took out the contract they had signed again and pulled up a clause.

Any investment made by Party A toward Party B must be accepted by Party B.

Fine, fine, fine.

She never imagined that this clause would actually be put to use here.

"But this planet..."

Her refusal made the man, who had always been used to things going smoothly, feel a little displeased.

Perhaps this was the flaw of a domineering CEO.

'Woman, your refusal has successfully caught my attention.'

"This is also a guarantee for our cooperation. If the planet is acquired by someone else, then the plants you grow and the animals you raise will belong to the acquirer, which would have a serious impact on our cooperation."

He was in the habit of nipping every hidden danger in the bud.

"You... I..." Ruan Mian was momentarily speechless; she was just too poor, "How about this, I will work hard to earn money to pay you back."

"Pay me back in a different way."

Huo Junze had one hand in his pocket, his gaze sweeping from the vine chicken coop before him and the greenery filling the courtyard, before slowly meeting Ruan Mian's eyes.

His thin lips curved into a faint arc.

His indifferent voice even carried a hint of warmth, "How about we call it food expenses?"

Food expenses?

Food expenses with this many zeros?

It would be enough for him to eat until the end of time!

However, if that was what he was thinking, why wouldn't she be satisfied with it too?!

"Alright, it's a deal!"

After saying that, she watched as he took a strange metal box out of his Light Brain.

It had a metallic texture, with what looked like flowing gold inside, as well as a black substance with a translucent, glass-like texture.

It was a very strange yet beautiful box.

"What is this?"

"A planet registration box."

After speaking, Huo Junze used his Mental Power to bury the box deep into the ground; once activated, a powerful signal pillar shot straight into the clouds.

An invisible signal light shield completely enveloped the planet.

From this moment on, this planet had an owner.

"From now on, you won't have to worry about anyone abruptly intruding on your planet again."

He tapped his finger, and a piece of software appeared in her Light Brain.

Planet Master System No. LG01.

Clicking into it, a miniature version of the entire planet was inside, with defensive signals covering the whole globe.

The functions inside were also very comprehensive; in short, as long as someone wanted to enter the planet, her device would receive a signal, and if she did not permit it, no one would be able to enter her planet.

The equipment Huo Junze had just installed could completely shield the signals, making it impossible for others to detect her planet.

Even if they found it by luck, it would launch an attack and destroy the signal equipment.

Therefore, this planet now belonged entirely to Ruan Mian herself.

Ruan Mian, having received such a grand gift, felt her hands go a bit numb.

Is this what it feels like to find a powerful ally to act as a backer?

It really is too awesome!

But how could mere living expenses be enough to repay this grand gift he had bestowed?

So she decided she would give Huo Junze something in return.

"President Huo, would you like to experience the joy of planting?"

Hearing this, Huo Junze raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

"Oh?"

"Wait for me a moment."

She ran into the kitchen compartment and used her ability to sprout a small sapling from a flowerpot.

It was not big, only as high as a lower leg, a thin little thing with two branches sprouting at the top, bearing a few tender green leaves.

A very frail little sapling.

"Is this some kind of vegetable?"

Is he some kind of foodie?

His mind is filled with thoughts of food.

Ruan Mian shook her head, "It's not for eating; it's a tree—a towering tree. Have you heard of them?"

Nonsense, he had certainly heard of them; the trees in those projections on the street were even made by his company!

Surprise replaced all other feelings.

Huo Junze's Adam's apple bobbed, and for a moment, he could not hide his joy, "This is a sapling? How big can it grow?"

"Mm."

"Huo Junze, do you want to know how tall it will grow?" Ruan Mian blinked at him, carrying the playfulness of a young girl, "Do you want to plant it together? Let it witness our partnership?"
