Ning Xuan never expected that going on a vacation and hiking to relax would lead to disaster. A mischievous kid disturbed a hornet's nest and sprinted away, but she, with a body aged beyond her...
Chapter 210 Planet Master
Competition for this unclaimed planet was fierce, and the price quickly reached the hundreds of billions. At this point, the price increase was no longer doubling every time, but it still started at tens of billions.
The final bid stopped at 650 billion Star Coins, and it was won by another wealthy tycoon.
Subsequently, several unclaimed planets with decent resources were also auctioned off for around 500 billion star coins.
Xi Yue didn't participate in the bidding for any of the planets with resources. She was waiting for the few unclaimed planets she had her eye on, which were all relatively unresourced and would likely have less competition.
As expected, the exchange reserved two of the better planets for later, while the next few planets had very few resources.
However, habitable planets are still quite competitive, with the top few fetching prices in the hundreds of billions.
As long as Xi Yue reaches her 60 billion, she will not bid again if someone else raises the price. In fact, she had already expected this, so she was not very disappointed.
[The next planet to be auctioned is the newly discovered unclaimed planet 21569, located on an outer ring planet. The energy storms on this planet have just stabilized. No mineral resources have been detected on this planet, and it is currently uninhabitable, but it has certain potential. The starting price is 10 billion. Let's begin the auction!]
Xi Yue immediately placed an offer of 10.1 billion Star Coins on the optical computer.
Several other buyers joined the bidding, but the price increases were very slow. Xi Yue was determined not to be a sucker and to raise the price gradually.
When the price reaches 20 billion, it will probably exceed other people's expectations. It's not worthwhile to bid for a planet with few resources for less than 20 billion. Moreover, the energy storm on this planet has just stabilized and may erupt again. Besides, it's an outer ring planet, so the energy radiation will be even greater and it's not suitable for habitation.
So when the price reached 20 billion, only Xi Yue was left bidding, and after 30 seconds no one raised the price.
The host tapped the small hammer in front of him.
[Congratulations to the buyer on May 18th for successfully bidding on Planet 21569. The bid was 20 billion Star Coins. Please contact us within 24 hours to complete the remaining procedures.]
After the host finished speaking, he continued the auction, but Xi Yue paid no more attention. She touched her rapidly beating heart, never expecting that she would actually succeed in buying an unclaimed planet. Once the formalities were completed, she would become a planet owner.
Going through the formalities and the ongoing auction did not conflict, so Xi Yue did not need to wait for the auction to end. After winning the bid, she directly used the holographic mode on her personal computer to go to the exchange, and then completed the entire transaction and planet owner registration under the guidance of the staff.
After successful registration, Xi Yue will have the right to name planet 21569. However, she does not need to name it immediately. She can complete the registration of the new name within 3 days after becoming the planet's owner. However, once the planet is named, it cannot be changed again unless the planet owner is changed.
Xi Yue hasn't decided on a name for the planet yet, so she's leaving it blank for now.
There are still many things she needs to do. First, she needs to apply for a spaceship route for her planet. Of course, if she doesn't want to open up her visitor planet landing rights, she can apply for a private spaceship route and travel by private spaceship in the future.
However, Xi Yue does not intend to close the planet's visitor access rights for the time being, so she needs to apply for both types of routes.
Another thing is that Ning Xuan has been thinking about the mining robot, which she can now purchase. Once she becomes a planet owner, she can place an order.
Moreover, becoming the planet's owner brought her an unexpected surprise she hadn't known before.
----The following is the newly added content from the 3rd---
That is, each planet lord will have 10 university recommendation slots per year, and these slots can be recommended by any university in the Federation Interstellar Community, and the recommended candidates must be citizens with household registration on this planet.
In this way, Xi Yue can now give this spot to herself, and she won't have to find other ways to apply through various channels and go through assessments to attend university.
Since that's the case, she decided to change her original plan and recommend herself directly to the Royal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, which is the best university in the Federation interstellar region for agricultural science.
With only a few days left until the start of university this year, Xi Yue didn't dare to delay and quickly registered her name with the Royal Academy of Agricultural Sciences through the relevant website, using her status as a planet owner.
Under normal circumstances, you can receive the admission notice within 3 working days.
After finishing her university registration, she began working on the application for the construction of facilities on her new planet, as well as purchasing various restaurants and other items needed by Ning Xuan.
In addition, her restaurant is now incredibly popular, with many people traveling from other planets just to try their various new dishes. As these people spread the word, the restaurant's fame is growing.
Xi Yue plans to open a branch of her restaurant, but she will open it under the name of Star 12569. This will be considered an investment attraction for other planets, and each planet and the Federation will receive certain policy incentives in this regard.
At that time, her opening costs and taxes will be greatly reduced.
.
Ning Xuan finally received the mining robot she had been longing for. She kept two for herself, gave one each to Yun Xi and Han Dongling, and decided not to give any to the other friends for the time being.
Han Dongling was pleasantly surprised to receive the mining robot. She knew the importance of mineral resources. Although even if they found minerals, they couldn't do much with their current manpower and technology and couldn't restore their previous productivity levels, it was better than nothing.
For example, if oil can still be found, even if it cannot restore the use of cars for transportation, it can be used in other machines that need oil power, such as excavators, harvesters, diesel generators, etc.
Therefore, oil is a very useful mineral resource, and with mining robots, there is no need to worry about mining problems, as mining robots can solve them all, and their efficiency will be even higher than that of mining robots before the apocalypse.
Ning Xuan originally planned to use mid-level mining robots for Han Dongling's side, but Xi Yue, as the planet owner, received a great discount for her first purchase, and since she bought several at once, she simply bought all high-level mining robots.
The advanced mining robot has all the functions of the basic and intermediate mining robots, and is even more powerful. It also has features that the basic and intermediate robots don't have. If you can afford it, it's definitely better to buy the advanced one.
Han Dongling took on the task of surveying mineral deposits with mining robots herself. One reason was that mining robots were quite valuable, and another was that she was currently the only one in the base who could travel to many places and over long distances in a day at that speed, so it was more suitable for her to do this job.
When Yunxi received the mining robot, she thought the puppet was very well made. The material was very hard and smooth. She sighed that there are always people more capable than you. She was amazed that someone else could make such a perfect puppet in other places.
What's even more impressive is that this puppet doesn't need spirit stones to start; it basks in the sun while it's working, absorbing light energy as its driving force.
According to Ning Xuan, this puppet called the mining robot can also explore various mineral resources.
Ning Xuan instructed Yun Xi to first take out a spirit stone and place it in front of the mining robot so that the robot could identify this type of mineral. Then, she instructed the robot to search for this type of mineral in the nearby area, and the robot would automatically start searching for spirit stone mines.
Yunxi initially thought the chances were slim, since among the magical artifacts she knew, only the Treasure-Seeking Rat was particularly good at finding treasures, and she had never heard of a puppet that could find treasures.
She wandered around this vast forest and found several decent spiritual herbs. As for the distant mountain range ahead, she hadn't had a chance to go up and check it out yet.
To her surprise, Yunxi, who was fighting the guardian beast of a high-level spiritual herb and had already entered her fingerprint and iris scan to bind with the mining robot, received a notification from the mining robot on the bracelet she was wearing.
[A spirit stone mine has been discovered; mineral reserves are being calculated...]
Did they really find a spirit mine?
Yunxi quickly sped up her pace, soon killing the guardian beast, gathering the spirit herbs, and then flying swiftly towards the address sent by the robot.
This is the mountain range she planned to visit a few days ago after exploring the forest. The robot said that this spirit stone mine is very large and rich in minerals. Because the area and depth of the spirit stone mine are quite large, the mineral content cannot be accurately calculated at the moment.
The robot asked if they wanted to start mining spirit ore. Yunxi gave the command to start mining, and the mining robot began to huff and puff as it dug for spirit stones.
The spirit stones on the top layer were buried very shallowly, and the robot dug them up in less than a minute. Because of Yunxi's instructions, it did not put the spirit stones into the spatial button, but handed them directly to Yunxi first.
It's a top-grade spirit stone!
Yunxi was pleasantly surprised. No wonder the spiritual energy here was so rich. At first, she thought it was because this place was deep in the mountains and forests. She did not expect that this place actually contained a very rich spirit stone mine.
She had to quickly extract the spirit stones, otherwise, if she were discovered, she would be all alone.
Thinking of this, she quickly sent a message to Ning Xuan.
The puppeteers have discovered a spirit stone mine, a lot of it. Are there any more puppeteers? More puppeteers would speed up the mining process.
Ning Xuan was overjoyed to learn that the mining robots had indeed discovered spirit stones, and quickly traded the two mining robots she still had to Yun Xi.
The advanced mining robot was very fast; in the short time it took Yunxi to make the transaction with Ningxuan, the mining robot had already mined a ton of spirit stones.
After Yunxi transferred the spirit stones from the robot's spatial button to her own storage ring, even though she was not short of spirit stones, she was still shocked by her own wealth.
Once the mining robot had collected ten tons of spirit stones, Yunxi directly traded all ten tons of spirit stones to Ningxuan.
Good heavens, it's Ning Xuan's turn to experience the feeling of becoming rich overnight again, and these are spirit stones that can be used for cultivation.
With spirit stones, she could once again use many of the items that usually required spirit stones to activate in a very extravagant way.
She divided the spirit stones into several portions, distributing them to all her friends except for Katerina and Yunxi.
Speaking of Katerina, Ning Xuan herself was a little conflicted. Because Katerina was from the Western magical world, she couldn't help but think of the West before she transmigrated. She wondered if Katerina would become too powerful and pose a threat to other countries in the future.
In addition, since Katerina already possessed magic, Ningxuan never discussed matters such as testing spirit stones, spiritual roots, and cultivation with Katerina.
Her business dealings with Katerina have primarily involved diamond jewelry, gourmet food, and industrial products such as bottles.
So far, Katerina hasn't made any other requests. Aside from her daily enjoyment, she just researches various potions, so Ning Xuan's position as a major client remains secure.
Ning Xuan planned to inquire about Katerina's situation when she had time, to see what the structure of their continent was like. As for cultivation, she would discuss that later.
After finishing those tasks, she continued to focus on her cultivation and the chicken farm.
The newly recruited people have all gotten the hang of the chicken farm, so even if Ning Xuan and the others leave, the chicken farm can still operate normally.
Considering that she couldn't stay there forever, Ning Xuan gradually removed her belongings from the chicken farm after entering 1977. She also let them take care of the cleaning themselves, and if it wasn't enough, she would hire two more people.
When Mingchen Xiyue opened her fifth noodle shop, Ningxuan and her friends finally received the news that the college entrance examination would be open.
The whole country was in an uproar, and scenes of educated youth weeping with joy were unfolding all over the country.
Ning Xuan's review materials, which Lin Yuhan had printed in advance, came in handy. She had Lu Xun handle the sales, and made a fortune from this large batch of review materials.
Ning Xuan had also hesitated about whether to take the college entrance examination again and experience university life again.
After all, she is already very wealthy. She doesn't need to rely on education to increase her net worth. Otherwise, she would need a higher education to find a good job. Besides, she had already attended university before she transmigrated.
However, after some time of consideration, she decided to take the college entrance examination.
She is already cultivating, and her lifespan will be extended in the future. She still enjoys the feeling of making money, so she can take advantage of her youth and energy to experience different lives.
The experience of the first batch of college students taking the college entrance examination is definitely different from that of their previous colleges.
Anyway, she's not in a hurry to start a business and make money. She can start a business after she finishes university and when the country is more open.
So starting a business isn't something to rush into, but going to university is something you can experience again.
She can get to know social animals, and at university she can meet more people. When she gets older, her appearance shouldn't change much. At that time, she will have to leave her familiar environment to live in other places, or perhaps change her appearance.
After mentally rehearsing her future path, Ning Xuan decided that until she was in her fifties or sixties, she would outwardly live and socialize like a normal person. She hadn't decided whether to get married yet, at least not at the moment, but she could still study, earn money, and make friends like a normal person.
