The fish took the bait, but looked like it was in pain. If I didn't treat it well, I would be doing a disservice to my acting skills and to the pained look on its face.

Jiang Si raised the corners of her mouth, revealing her neat, white teeth, looking innocent and kind: "Actually, it's not that many star coins, only 1 billion star coins."

"What?" Madam Mu's voice was shrill, like a duck being strangled. "Only 1 billion star coins? Why don't you just rob someone? What's so expensive?"

1 billion Star Coins?

It's unbelievable that this worthless little bitch dared to say that.

The Mu family is no longer the same Mu family. Now they are just holding a noble title, living a life of poverty and relying on their savings.

This good-for-nothing, she just throws around 1 billion, even the Imperial Bank of America didn't rob her like this.

Jiang Si had anticipated this. Her dark eyes shone brightly, and she revealed her slender, fair hands, counting on her fingers: "I won't calculate my tuition and accommodation fees for the past five years with my aunt. Let's calculate the price of the fruit for a level 7 plant healer."

"As you know, the fruits of a level 7 plant healer are imbued with healing spiritual power, and each fruit is extremely valuable. Don't be fooled by how cheap they are on the StarNet; I have an exclusive monopoly here, and 1 billion is not a small amount."

"Of course, if Auntie thinks it's too much, I won't force her. Anyway, once the fruits of the 7th-level plant healer are grown, they will all belong to me."

"The empire has 3 billion people, and they all have some problems with their genes and mental strength. I'll sell them slowly and raise the price as I go. Even if it's 5 billion, let alone 1 billion, I can earn it back in a year."

I stayed at her house for three months and knew it like the back of my hand. She had no money, but she knew exactly how to act. Not only did she have antiques, but she also owned real estate on a small planet. The girl who looked exactly like her had received a lot of money from her parents.

We can come up with 1 billion, but it will be a huge financial drain.

What she wanted was for her family to suffer a massive financial loss.

Madam Mu took a deep breath. Just as that good-for-nothing little bitch said, the fruit of a level 7 plant healer could easily fetch 1 billion, let alone 50 billion.

If eating fruit can cure genetic damage and mental impairment, why suffer the pain of going to the hospital? This is a long-term, high-profit business that the people of the empire are willing to spend money on.

“Jiang Si, your aunt can’t come up with that much money right now.” Madam Mu said through gritted teeth as she calculated, “How about this, your aunt will transfer some to you first, and when you come home with me, bring me some new fruit, and your aunt will sell the fruit and give you the money.”

If it weren't for the fact that the name of the person who was live streaming on the StarNet looked familiar, and her daughter hadn't reminded her, she would never have imagined that this good-for-nothing would be so lucky as to know a level 7 plant healer.

She had originally intended to call her via personal terminal to order her back, but she had blocked her. If today weren't the only chance to enter the school—after the opening ceremony, the school would be under lockdown and no one could get in—she wouldn't have made this trip. She would have made her obediently go back.

As Jiang Si listened to her lucrative plan, her smile grew even sweeter: "Auntie, if you don't have the money, just tell me, and I won't take it."

“Prince Agares only knew that I had a good relationship with a level 7 plant healer, but he didn’t know that all his fruits were exclusively mine. You can’t afford it, but I trust Your Highness…”

“I can afford it.” Madam Mu hurriedly interrupted her. With the deal almost in her hands, if Agares interfered, what chance would her family have? “Wait a moment, I’ll go tell your uncle that he’ll give you 1 billion.”

Jiang Si smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Okay, Auntie, you'd better hurry, otherwise you won't be the only one eyeing the 7th-tier healer's fruit."

Madam Mu let go of his hand and went to the restroom.

Jiang Si sat on the sofa, leisurely waiting for her, while logging into the StarNet and posting a status update using her Level 7 Plant Healer account: "Lemons and honey go so well together! What fruit are you looking forward to next time? Tangerines? Apples? Or maybe some juicy grapes?"

Below the post are three photos: mandarin oranges, apples, and grapes.

Her previous live streams had already caused a sensation on StarNet.

Now this account is being used to post such updates.

The Empire's Star Friends let out a wail of despair.

"Boss, we're not kids, we want them all."

"I was too slow. I missed out on the lemon. Is there any hope for the apple or the grapes?"

"Grapes? This is a species that has never existed in the Empire before. Is it a new species? Why do they look so much like grapes from ancient Earth?"

"I didn't manage to get the lemons, I didn't manage to get the chicken feet, I didn't even get the honey. Heavens above, my 30 years of practicing my hand speed while single has been for nothing."

"I seriously suspect the person upstairs is driving, and their driving skills are terrible; they couldn't even grab a lemon."

About 5 minutes later.

Madam Mu came out, her smiling face now showing wrinkles: "Jiang Si, your uncle dotes on you and is willing to give you 1 billion. Come on, let's transfer the money."

Originally, her husband was unwilling to pay 1 billion, but just now, a level 7 plant therapist on the StarNet posted a status update.

The fruit on the table was large and juicy, and there were even grapes they had never seen before. Her husband was tempted.

He immediately decided to find someone to transfer 1 billion yuan to her.

Jiang Si extended her hand, which was adorned with a personal terminal, and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Auntie. When you transfer the money, please indicate that it is a gift."

According to the laws of the empire, if you transfer money without specifying it as a gift, you can sue to get it back if you later regret it.

Jiang Si wouldn't be so foolish as to give her any chance to get it back. Once it's in her hands, no one can make her give it back.

That useless little bitch has become clever.

Madam Mu cursed, scanned her account, transferred the money to her, and stated that the 1 billion was an unconditional gift.

A beep.

The notification that the money had arrived was extremely pleasant to hear.

"Alright, the money has been transferred to you. Hurry up and pack your things, let's go back to the capital planet. Your uncle is still waiting." Mrs. Mu felt not only pain in her wallet but also heartbroken as she transferred the 1 billion.

Jiang Si sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, not moving an inch: "Auntie, the door is over there, I won't see you off."

Madam Mu's face turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Si shrugged: "That's exactly what Auntie meant. Thank you, Auntie, for giving me 1 billion in pocket money. I will repay Auntie when I make money in the future."

Madam Mu's voice turned cold: "You took my money, and you're not coming with me?"

Jiang Si spread her hands and started to act shamelessly: "I've already paid the tuition, I never said I wanted to go with you, and you gave me the money willingly."

Madam Mu sneered: "Jiang Si, do you think you're all grown up just because you know a Level 7 Plant Healer? You think you can cheat me out of my money?"

Jiang Si corrected her, "I didn't cheat you out of your money. It was a gift from you, and there's written proof. We can check if you don't believe me."

This good-for-nothing in front of me used to be so careful, humble, cowardly, and eager to please. She endured my beatings, insults, and humiliations.

Now that she was going to defy the heavens, Madam Mu didn't even think twice. Just like countless times before she lost her memory, she raised her hand and slapped Jiang Si across the face.

"Fine, you little bitch, you tried to scheme against me. I'll beat you to death today."

Jiang Si sat on the sofa, her legs still crossed, and grabbed her wrist with a smile: "Auntie, you really hit the nail on the head. But I'm kind-hearted and not as cruel as you. I just want to cripple you so you can send the medical bills to my husband."
