"ha!"

Emmanuel stepped forward to block Sanning's path and suddenly breathed on the small sphere.

The little ball instantly bristled, and then its round, chubby body floated away like a light, drifting leaf.

Sanning, "???"

Sang Ning stared in disbelief. "What's going on? How can such a fat body be so light and seemingly weightless?"

Moreover, that's not the main point. The main point is—

Why did it leave?

It was so fierce before, there's no reason why it would run away just because Emmanuel yelled at it.

Upon hearing this, Emmanuel laughed and said, "The little ball is sensitive to the syllable 'ha,' though I can't quite put my finger on why. But using the 'ha' syllable can force back 80% of the little balls that are in an attacking state."

At this point, he said with some melancholy, "If you're unlucky enough to encounter one of the 20% who can't force the little ball back with Ha, then just accept your fate and lie down to get bitten by the little ball once or twice."

A counterattack is impossible.

It's impossible to kill the small ball.

Unless you want to go to a mining planet to mine and drink free nutrient solution.

Otherwise, we can only endure it.

Anyway, intelligent life won't die if it gets bitten; at worst, it'll just suffer broken bones and a little more pain.

Of course, you won't suffer for nothing.

The government's image-building efforts in the "Running Star" region are quite impressive. Protecting the planet is one thing, but the interests and personal safety of tourists and local residents also need to be guaranteed.

If you are bitten, the procedure is simple: first, contact the local security center, then report it to the Ball Management Office of RunRunStar (the game's official website) saying that you were bitten by a little ball. The Ball Management Office will then verify the information through the security center.

If the situation is confirmed, the compensation will be paid immediately.

In addition to these, there are a bunch of other miscellaneous compensations such as compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, and nutritional expenses.

The funds will arrive a little slower than the compensation, but it will definitely arrive within a few hours to two or three days.

The wealthy and powerful government of RunRunStar takes their little ball, BallBaby, very seriously.

They'd rather give you a large sum of compensation than let anyone hurt their precious ball.

If you dare to harm anyone, the government will sue you.

I don't know if it's because the government of RunRunStar protects its own little round balls that they all know they are Ball Babies, but the little round balls are incredibly arrogant.

There's nowhere on the entire planet they can't go, and no creature on it they wouldn't dare attack.

They are truly arrogant.

Fortunately, most of the small spheres can be driven away by the syllable "ha," and there haven't been many indigenous people or tourists bitten by them over the years.

Therefore, the little sphere remains the same little sphere beloved by most intelligent life forms.

After hearing Emmanuel's explanation, Sang Ning felt conflicted. Looking at the little round balls that ran into the nearby Mushroom House restaurant, she murmured, "How much compensation would we get if we got bitten?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at her in shock.

What did Sang Ning mean by saying that?

Is this guy trying to get bitten by the little ball and earn compensation?

Qin Heng asked with a complicated expression, "Are you short of money?"

Sang Ning rolled her eyes and followed the group toward the black market, saying, "That's typical nonsense. I'm desperate for money."

She only had a small amount of money in her account, and the prize money from the show hadn't arrived yet.

There are so many things I want to buy, but you really can't do without money.

Thinking about the meager balance in her account, she sighed, "I feel like I can only order some herbs on this trip to the black market; I won't have any money left to buy anything else."

At this point, she asked, "Does RunRunStar have a natural area? If so, can we go in to pick medicinal herbs?"

Everyone, "???"

Why are we talking about collecting medicinal herbs in the natural area again?

"Wait a minute, don't speak, let us sort this out first."

Louis frowned and gave a serious instruction, while Sang Ning replied with an "oh," and said, "Okay, you guys sort it out."

There's really not much to explain.

How much money do you have in your account?

"More than 100,000."

"Uh... is that all?"

"That's already a lot."

Sang Ning said, both amused and exasperated, "Don't forget I didn't have a single penny before. More than 100,000 yuan is a real fortune for me."

"The problem is, you can't buy much with over 100,000 yuan."

"Yes, that's why I asked how much compensation I could get if I got bitten by the little ball."

Sang Ning counted on her fingers, "I want to buy a childcare robot, but even the lowest standard for a good-quality, full-course childcare robot is over six million."

“Even if you lower the grade, buying a mid-range full course would cost over a million.”

"I can't come up with this money."

"Besides that, I also want to change the terminal."

Her terminal was really about to break down; even the most basic call function was no longer working, let alone accessing the satellite network. The screen was black, and even if she did manage to log in, it would be completely dark.

Therefore, during her days on the ship, she used the StarNet on the program team's public terminal to search for information.

"There's really no way to save money on this," she said, adding that they hadn't been able to contact Uncle Gu yet.

"I'm planning to spend one or two thousand to buy a terminal."

"I also need to buy a batch of medicinal herbs to make ointment to treat chapped skin and send it back home. The children's faces are all chapped, we can't wait."

"I think we can buy wound repair fluid."

Lampson couldn't understand why she would go through the trouble of making an ointment. "Trust me, buying the repair fluid is definitely more cost-effective than buying the herbs to make the ointment."

Sang Ning refused, "I don't want the wound repair fluid."

The governor said that this thing is a good thing for elite humans, but not for primitive pure-blooded humans.

When it comes to genetic differences, it's no joke.

She would rather go through the trouble of making the ointment herself than let her children use the wound repair solution.

If something goes wrong, she can't bear the responsibility.

Even if you are disfigured, it's not a big problem; it can be treated and repaired.

But once there's a problem with the genes, nothing can make up for it.

Therefore, it's impossible to buy repair fluid.

I would never buy it, even if you killed me.

"How about this, I'll pay you ten million first."

Seeing her resolute attitude, Qin Heng swallowed back the words of persuasion he was about to say, and instead said, "I'll pay you the rest after you've resolved my constitution issue, how does that sound?"

Sang Ning didn't think much of it. She knew perfectly well that Qin Heng wanted to help her, but it wasn't necessary.

"I'll take the loan if you want it. I can pay you back once I get my bonus, and I'm willing to pay interest."

"This is the only thing that won't do."

Why not?

Qin Heng couldn't understand what she was insisting on. "I'm not afraid you'll run away."

"That's not the case."

Sang Ning was helpless. "Your constitution can't be fixed in a short time. There are too many medicinal herbs you're missing. I don't know when I'll be able to gather all the herbs needed to improve your constitution. I feel guilty for taking your money without doing anything."

“If we are already in the treatment phase, then I can accept this money with a clear conscience.”

"But the key problem is that we haven't done anything right now."
