Chapter 31: 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 a 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 in a tin house here, struggling to get by?

She would have long since been able to live in the little Western-style house she had been longing for.

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

"It's fine."

Ruan Mian:?

What is "fine"?

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 just like that!

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

As expected, she had underestimated the level of wealth of wealthy 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 number of zeros trailing after the transaction amount in the purchase contract.

She felt the very tip of her heart trembling.

Even the loose change on that amount 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 is a problem everywhere, okay!

"No, what I mean is, 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, having lost her ability to react.

A pair of slightly upturned apricot eyes widened a fraction.

A glimmer of light lit up in her amber pupils.

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

It wasn't that she couldn't accept it, she just 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 once again took out the contract the two of them had signed and pulled up a clause.

For any investment made by Party A toward Party B, Party B must accept it.

Fine, fine, fine.

She never imagined that this clause would actually manifest in this way.

"But this planet..."

Her refusal made the man, who had always been used to smooth sailing, 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 cause a serious impact on our cooperation."

He was in the habit of nipping all hidden dangers in the bud.

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

"Pay me back in another way."

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

His thin lips curved into a faint arc.

His indifferent voice carried a hint of warmth, "How about using it as food expenses?"

Food expenses?

Food expenses with so many zeros?

That 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 out a strange iron box from his Light Brain.

It had a metallic texture, and inside it seemed to be flowing gold, along with 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; after he activated it, 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 don'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 Owner System LG01.

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

The functions inside were also very comprehensive; to summarize in one sentence, 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 signal, 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 completely belonged to Ruan Mian herself.

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

Is this the feeling of finding 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 else.

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

Hearing this, Huo Junze raised an eyebrow, becoming somewhat interested.

"Oh?"

"Wait for me a moment."

She ran into the kitchen compartment and used her ability to urge a small sapling out of a flowerpot.

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

A very scrawny little sapling.

"Is this some kind of vegetable?"

Is he some kind of foodie?

His whole 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 those?"

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