Xuan Ting found a bank nearby and walked towards it, gleefully counting the money he had robbed. He inserted his savings card into the ATM, entered his PIN, and withdrew all the money…

A dozen or so memory cards and a thick stack of banknotes.

"That adds up to over 70,000!" Xuan Ting exclaimed with delight, almost as if offering a reward, as he boasted to Tong Su, "Over 70,000 is enough for us to take a boat to the E976-INE1 transit station!"

More than 70,000 coins—ten days ago, he wouldn't have bothered building them up even if he'd just left them on the ground.

But the money he "earned" on this planet E976-INE86 after his misfortune gave him more of a sense of accomplishment than when he led his army to wipe out a Zerg nest!

Looking into his bright eyes, Tong Su couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. Her heart softened, and she praised him a few times.

"This, this is nothing! It's just a small matter, nothing to praise."

Xuan Ting's heart pounded involuntarily. He gripped his sword, his palms sweaty, and dared not look at the girl's smiling face.

"...When we get back to the Imperial Star, could you..." His voice was low, the words mumbled in his mouth, hesitant and stammering, "Could you, could you..."

"Can you do what?" Tong Su didn't hear clearly.

How could I possibly say that!

Xuan Ting: "No, no, it's nothing! I meant, about buying the boat tickets—"

Tong Su said, "The tickets are a problem. Seventy thousand is far from enough. To get to the Imperial Star, a ticket for one person would cost tens of millions."

Xuan Ting said, "That won't be necessary. I have territory in the Perseus constellation and once stored a bank safe deposit box on the capital star, which contains a lot of money—you can use my sword as a token to open it."

Tong Su exclaimed in delight: "Then all we need to do is go to the capital star of the Perseus constellation! Ten thousand coins at the Immortal INE1 transfer station, and another million coins, and we can take a starship to the capital star!"

If you calculate it that way, it's not that difficult.

Tong Su breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the joy on her face, Xuan Ting's heart pounded even harder, filled with a sense of pride.

On this street, there's a notorious rip-off shop that charges exorbitant prices for buying and selling things.

Unsuspecting customers happily sell their goods, but after leaving the store, they are soon dragged into an alley by thugs for "education" and to be extorted for protection money.

Xuan Ting pretended to be a fool with plenty of money and entered the black market with an air of innocence. He took out a dagger and a short knife that he had taken from Tong Su's box. When the shopkeeper saw them, his eyes flashed with surprise.

"Wow, these are all good stuff! Such treasures can fall from a white hole? I'll buy them at a high price!"

The boss was willing to offer a high price to lower their guard, and Xuan Ting was happy to play dumb.

After haggling over the price of a dagger and a short knife, they finally settled on 200,000 each, totaling 400,000 coins, which they easily obtained.

As soon as Xuan Ting stepped out of the shady inn, the owner grinned slyly, took out his communicator, and contacted someone: "Looks like a fat sheep! A woman, very thin, naive and rich, carrying a black sword, she went out and headed east. A weakling, just ignore her!"

He sat smugly behind the counter, examining the dagger and short sword with a triumphant smile.

"You sucker! You think you made 400,000? You'll have to pay me back! There's an auction in a few days. If you send this over, you can make 600,000 or 700,000. Hahaha—hiccup!"

Before the smile could even finish, several groaning bodies suddenly crashed into the store!

It crashed to the ground with a thud, rolled several times, and finally landed at the boss's feet.

The shady shop owner was startled and forced back his laughter, choking on it until his chest ached.

He glanced at them sideways and was immediately terrified – weren't those inhuman figures on the ground the thugs he had sent out?

What happened? How did we end up getting beaten up like this?!
