Chapter 147: Totally addicted.

That's right.

Mo Ting and his friends became wanderers.

Seven people, staying in three clubs, two pubs, and a theater that specializes in hosting dinner parties.

The prices in the club are a bit high, with an average consumption of 2,000 star coins per person.

Tavern low, 1500 star coins.

theater.

This is also the place where a bonfire party will be held tonight, the price is unknown.

If you want to "rescue" them properly, you need to prepare a large sum of money.

Scarlett planned carefully, then turned to Ashley and said, "Let's go home."

Ashley was even more confused, "Just go home?"

Don't you want to do something? Or did Scarlett listen to what I just said and go home...

Scarlett glanced at him and asked, "What do you want to do if you don't go home?"

Ashley blushed, "No, I don't want to. No, I'm not. Whatever you say, I'll do whatever you say."

Scarlett narrowed her eyes, not understanding why Ashley was blushing. It wasn't hot today.

But she didn't take it to heart and was only thinking about making money.

The bike wobbled back to 265 Dock Street.

There was a large vacant lot behind Scarlett's house, which had not been taken care of for a long time and was overgrown with weeds.

On the way back, she bought two shovels and took Ashley to the vacant lot. She threw a shovel to him and said happily, "Ashley, let's reclaim this vacant lot today and make a vegetable garden. Then we don't have to go out to buy vegetables in the future."

Why are you starting a vegetable garden out of nowhere?

Ashley looked at the shovel in his hand, a little confused. He shoveled the ground twice, but the weeds didn't move at all.

That's right.

He is maintaining his image as a weak and unable to take care of himself.

Scarlett took a look and smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in the corners of her mouth.

The beastly husband has become a spoiled husband.

She gripped the shovel tightly and started turning the soil.

Of course, her purpose was not to actually build a vegetable garden, but to find a reasonable reason to get the ore out.

She focused on one spot and dug non-stop. After more than two hours of non-stop work, she finally dug a two-meter-deep pit.

She paused for a moment, drank a glass of boiled water, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and continued digging.

This open space has no fence and can be seen by people passing by.

Seeing Scarlett tinkering in the open space, the neighbor couldn't help but feel curious and stopped to ask, "Scarlett, what are you doing?"

Scarlett chuckled and replied, "I'm cultivating the land and preparing to make a vegetable garden."

The neighbor saw the deep pit.

I sneered in my heart: You are kidding me. Such a big pit, it doesn't look like reclaiming land, it looks like they are digging something.

But she didn't say anything and just laughed it off. However, she was wary in her heart. She hid in the house and found an angle to observe Scarlett's actions.

By dark, Scarlett's pit was five meters deep.

She clapped her hands in satisfaction, took out the minerals in the space, selected the two worst ones and threw them into the soil, then picked a few with good color, dipped them in some wet soil, put them in her pocket, and crawled out using her hands and feet.

Before going out, she looked around furtively, appearing cautious. After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, she climbed out of the deep pit with peace of mind.

After climbing out, she took Ashley's arm and whispered a few words in his ear.

Ashley's expression tightened, then relaxed, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes lit up.

Scarlett went back to her room, changed into clean clothes, rode out on her bike, and disappeared to 265 Dock Street with Ashley.

A few minutes later

The neighbor walked to the deep pit, holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, and looked into the pit.

"Damn! Ore!"

He quickly covered his mouth, his black eyes turned around several times cunningly, and seeing that there was no one around, he put down the kerosene lamp and jumped down decisively.

…

…

Because of the high consumption of Lanton Street, it is surrounded by all kinds of merchants who will buy anything as long as it is valuable.

Scarlett found a gem processing and recycling shop.

The minerals in this world are rare resources, and due to backward technology, they cannot be searched and mined on a large scale. The ores can only be extracted through earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

Therefore, the poor quality ore in Scarlett's hand is still a rare commodity here.

She placed a pure black dragon crystal and two pink tourmalines on the counter and said, "Boss, I'm selling you something."

The owner of the recycling shop is an ordinary-looking woman with plain facial features and nothing memorable about her.

But when she saw the minerals on the counter, her eyes lit up and her face brightened.

She picked up the three minerals, studied them for a while, then used a magnifying glass to examine the details and took a deep breath.

Now not only my eyes are brighter, but my life is brighter too.

The most famous saying in gem recycling is: If you don’t open for business for three years, you will make a profit for three years after you open.

These three minerals, with a little polishing, will definitely last for five years!

She put down the ore, rubbed her hands excitedly, and looked at Scarlett.

Seeing that it was a young female with sunken cheeks and yellowish skin, his nature of bargaining immediately came out and he said, "Little female, the quality of your ore is not good. It can't be sold for much. At most, 3,000 star coins."

"Three thousand star coins?"

Scarlett grabbed the ore and turned away, "It's too little. I'll go look somewhere else."

The boss didn't expect Scarlett to be so decisive. She turned around and left without even discussing the price. Knowing that this little female was not easy to fool, he quickly changed his attitude, grabbed Scarlett's hand, and said in a friendly manner: "Little female, wait a moment, the price is negotiable."

"No negotiation, it's too low." Scarlett waved her hand.

"What about the five thousand?" the boss asked tentatively.

"One price, fifty thousand." Scarlett turned around and said with a smile.

The boss was stunned for a moment, his eyes almost popping out of his head. "Fifty thousand? It would be faster if you just go grab it."

Scarlett thought it was a good idea and nodded, "Okay. Then I'll go 'rob' others."

She is leaving again.

Although the little female has thin arms and legs, she is very strong. His wrist turned a circle in her hand and he almost broke free.

The boss feels so miserable.

Is this because I met someone who knows what I'm doing?

The boss quickly calculated in his mind how much money he could make from these three ores after deducting the cost.

You don’t know until you calculate it, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

Twenty thousand.

Just 20,000.

This does not include labor costs during the sales period.

Now, the boss is a little reluctant, but 20,000 is still money.

She hesitated for a long moment, then held up four fingers. "Little female, how about this? Let's each take a step back. How about 40,000? I really can't give you more. I need to eat, too. Don't you agree? We have to make a profit before we can continue the transaction."

Scarlett actually came to test the price. She noticed that when the boss looked at the ore, his eyes were full of excitement, so she raised the price to 50,000.

Forty thousand is not bad, it exceeds her psychological price range.

She said simply, "Okay."

After collecting the money, Scarlett asked casually, "Boss, are you buying ore here for a long time?"

The boss was startled, "You still have some?"

Scarlett's eyes were moist and shining, pious and innocent, "No."

The boss wouldn't believe it.

After locking the ore in the safe, she glanced at Scarlett, her gaze lingering on the wet mud beside her shoes. She smiled and said, "Little sister, how about this, I'll give you another 500 yuan as a token of my friendship? When you have ore, send it all to me. I promise to give you the highest price, higher than any other!"

Scarlett hesitated, but still said, "Sister, I really don't have any more."

She glanced outside anxiously and said, "The bonfire party is about to begin. I'm leaving first. Bye, sister."

The boss looked at her anxious back and knocked on the wall behind him.

A male came out, "Boss."

The boss pointed outside and said, "Go follow that little female and see where she lives and what she's been doing lately."

…

…

The bonfire party where the females choose their husbands is held at the Yaanna Theatre.

Although it is called a bonfire party, it does not actually require sitting on the lawn, lighting a bonfire, and having everyone dance around the bonfire. When they see a male they like, they carry him away.

That was a bad habit from hundreds of years ago.

Today's bonfire party is held in a magnificent banquet hall.

The females sat at the dining table, enjoying the rich food while watching the males singing and dancing on the stage.

If you see someone you like, write down his name and make a bid when it comes to the husband selection stage.

Whether you can get it depends on your wallet.

Scarlett wanted to take Ashley with her to such a grand party, but since he was a male, he was not eligible to attend. He was arranged by the servants in the basement hall with a sign hung on him.

Wait for Scarlett to finish the party and pick up the dinner invitation card.

…

…

Entering the banquet hall, Scarlett found her seat.

The seats have specific information about the males who will be performing the song and dance.

Scarlett flipped through it.

Riley and Brian were both there.

suddenly.

My eyes light up.

The party has begun.

The opening dance is performed by all the males together.

Wearing trousers, with his upper body naked and only a tie hanging around his bare neck, he danced back and forth on his chest and abdominal muscles, causing cheers from the audience.

Scarlett whistled and cheered as well.

Her level of excitement is no less than that of the female sitting at the same table.

She was completely addicted.
