"Didn't you hear me? What do you know, you're just a newbie? What if you ruin this deal? Are you going to take responsibility? And can you even afford to take responsibility?" the saleswoman snapped.

"Shut up! Do you have the right to speak to this young lady?"

Jiang Yuan's long-cultivated authority erupted at this moment. His cold and deep eyes were like a tiger in the forest, frightening the female saleswoman so much that she trembled and couldn't speak.

"What's all the commotion about?"

The saleswoman's unreasonable behavior eventually caught the manager's attention, and soon a man in a suit appeared.

"Manager, it's like this, I was worried that Xiaoya wouldn't serve our two distinguished guests well, so I came to help!" The saleswoman mustered her courage to argue. Seeing that she couldn't win the order, she was going to have to split the profits. As long as she explained that she had helped, she could get a share of Xiaoya's commission, so she wouldn't lose out.

"Manager, it's not like that, I..."

Xiaoya was about to explain, but the man in the suit didn't have time to listen to their argument. He interrupted her and gave Jiang Yuan a professional smile, saying, "Did you two purchase the top-of-the-line smart brain?"

"Alright, you guys are making a fuss! I'll only buy these two top-of-the-line AIs from this girl named Xiaoya. No need for anyone else to ask me!" Jiang Yuan felt a pang of sympathy for the timid girl, and figured he might as well help her out if he could.

"Xiaoya, did you close the deal?" The manager looked at the girl in surprise.

"Yes, these two guests have already paid!" Xiaoya pointed to the perfectly plump, top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals on the counter.

"Hiss, it's actually a top-grade Holy Spirit Crystal!"

The manager's gaze towards Jiang Yuan changed; this guy was definitely a tycoon! You know, the market price for top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals is skyrocketing, and only the very wealthy and powerful are willing to spend money on top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals.

"Hurry up, Xiaoya, take these two customers to the VIP room for a private consultation. Also, here's a free 1,000 minutes of internet access!" the manager said immediately.

What businessmen care about most is meeting a benefactor in the business world, and Jiang Yuan is clearly such a person.

"By the way, do you offer circumvention services?" Jiang Yuan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Shh!"

The manager immediately pointed a finger to silence Jiang Yuan, and said seriously, "This is a legitimate Tianqi base station, we don't provide this kind of service!"

"Jiang Yuan, this kind of thing violates human laws and cannot be done openly!" Gu Anlei reminded him telepathically.

"So, will they do it?" Jiang Yuan wasn't sure what the other party was thinking.

"Judging from his expression, he seems to have a plan!"

Gu Anlei was equally unsure, because she had never done it before.

The two followed Xiaoya into the VIP room. Just as Gu Anlei had guessed, although this place didn't seem to offer VPN services, they still managed to get it done for them vaguely after they paid, and each of them also topped up their internet fees by several hundred thousand yuan.

"Jiang Yuan, where did you get so much money?"

As soon as she left the Smart Brain City, Gu Anlei couldn't contain her curiosity and asked the question.

"Guess!" Jiang Yuan said, putting away his smart device and keeping everyone in suspense.

"You and the princess of the Holy Spirit Kingdom..." Gu Anlei thought for a moment, her brows furrowing several times, and then muttered softly, "Is being a kept man so lucrative these days?"

"Depend on!"

Jiang Yuan was so startled he almost tripped and fell. He looked at Gu Anlei resentfully and said, "Can't you be a little more discerning? Do I look like someone who lives off a woman?"

"Uh, it looks a little bit like it!" Gu Anlei said truthfully, shrinking her head.

"I don't need to rely on others for my strength. This money was all given to me as a friendly donation!" Jiang Yuan's source of these top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals was absolutely clean.

Gu Anlei didn't quite understand this kind of sponsorship, because it was beyond her imagination.

"Go in!" Jiang Yuan led Gu Anlei to a magnificent golden gate.

"Huh, where am I?"

Gu Anlei looked up, and when she saw the huge store name, her unrealistic idea became even more ingrained. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Jiang Yuan, I'm still young, I won't be your mistress!"

Jiang Yuan: "I..."

"You bought me a top-of-the-line smart computer, topped up my internet bill with 500,000 yuan, and now you're buying me clothes. Although you... anyway, my parents will scold me for this!" Gu Anlei couldn't quite put her finger on how she felt, but she simply refused.

"You're overthinking it. I bought you clothes because the saleswoman said you were dressed too unfashionably, and I did look at you and you really are! So, getting you a nicer outfit will save you a lot of trouble when you go out!" Although Jiang Yuan disliked this kind of superficial judgment, sometimes it's better to avoid trouble.

"Besides, this is just a small amount of money for me! If I really like you, I will spoil you rotten, instead of trying to get rid of you with this little bit of junk!" Jiang Yuan said confidently.

Gu Anlei's heart clenched; this guy's words were not only arrogant, but also particularly hurtful.

"Here are a thousand top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals. Pick out a few sets yourself, and return any extras to me!"

Jiang Yuan handed a bag that looked incredibly tacky to Gu Anlei, then sat down in the waiting area and started fiddling with his smart device.
