Thanks to the Second Prince's words, Li Ze successfully exchanged his chips for Star Coins. That night, he spent 20.1 billion and earned 7.9 billion.
Li Ze smiled, "Very good, this is the first money I've earned in this world."
"Someone who can donate 20 billion so easily, is so happy to earn a few billion?" The Second Prince blocked Li Ze's path, his narrow, gloomy eyes staring straight at Li Ze, as if he were sizing up prey.
Li Ze disliked that look. He frowned and said coldly, "Get out of the way!"
"I won't let you have it, what can you do about it?" The Second Prince sneered and reached out to touch Li Ze's face.
Li Ze narrowed his eyes. Between punching his opponent and dodging, he chose the latter.
Huh?
The Second Prince was somewhat surprised when his hand missed its target. What surprised him even more was that Li Ze had already passed him and walked outside.
"Interesting!" The Second Prince's eyes were filled with interest. He flashed forward and grabbed Li Ze's shoulder with his large hand.
But Li Ze seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and avoided it.
His hand missed again, and the Second Prince immediately became serious, lunging at Li Ze with an air of determination that he would not give up until he caught Li Ze.
Li Ze dodged and retreated towards the outside.
"Don't run away, let's fight," the Second Prince said.
Li Ze ignored him. This second prince was quite strong, and the threat he posed was only slightly less than that posed by He Xingjue. If he wanted to defeat him in his current state, he would have to pay a heavy price.
It's not worth it.
Li Ze entered through the back door but left through the front. He didn't take the elevator but walked up the stairs. His steps were light and his figure graceful; he didn't look like someone who was about to die.
The second prince narrowed his eyes. How could he, an SS-level sentinel, not catch up with a sickly person?
He exerted his strength again, but saw Li Ze's figure getting further and further away until it disappeared from his sight.
The second prince suddenly stopped, took out his personal terminal, and ordered his subordinates, "Investigate that Li Ze thoroughly, big or small, and bring him everything to me."
Back at the manor, it was already dusk. After a quick wash, Li Ze collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, it was already noon.
Upon waking up, Li Ze saw messages from Lan Shuang and Zhou Yang, asking if he could visit him at the manor.
Visit him?
Li Ze frowned and sent a "yes" message.
After Li Ze finished washing up and had lunch, Lan Shuang and Zhou Yang arrived.
"You slept until noon?" Lan Shuang asked with concern, thinking that Li Ze was unwell and had been asleep for so long.
"Yes. I went out last night," Li Ze replied, without offering any further explanation.
Lan Shuang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; at least she wasn't asleep forever.
“We brought you this.” Zhou Yang placed a small, exquisite black box on the table and said to Li Ze, “Open it and take a look.”
Li Ze opened the small box as instructed. Inside were nearly a hundred black energy crystals of varying sizes, resembling understated yet luxurious gemstones.
It's somewhat like a demon core.
However, the energy within the demon core is more volatile.
“These are the energy crystals from the Void Beast you killed the day before yesterday. They rightfully belong to you,” Zhou Yang said. “With these energy crystals, you won’t have to worry about running out of energy once you buy the mech.”
"In addition, Brother Zhou has agreed to sell you a top-of-the-line mecha at a low price." Lan Shuang was happy for Li Ze.
Li Ze raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips. This was good news.
Over the next few days, Li Ze visited almost all the arenas on Suzaku Star and several underground boxing gyms.
By the time the celebration banquet arrived, his complexion had changed from a sickly pale to a porcelain white with a hint of pink. Apart from being a little thin, he looked no different from a normal person.
No, he wasn't exactly the same as an ordinary person. After his complexion improved, his appearance became even more striking, making him instantly noticeable wherever he went.
When Lan Shuang looked at Li Ze, who was dressed in his finest attire, she was completely stunned. She even heard herself swallow hard.
After a long pause, she said regretfully, "I shouldn't have traveled with you." She, who was originally quite pretty, now looked like an ugly duckling compared to Li Ze.
I'm unhappy!
Upon hearing this, Li Ze frowned in confusion, "Why?"
Lan Shuang: "Because we are not worthy."
The victory celebration banquet was held at the palace.
Li Ze and his companion arrived at a moderate time. The car stopped at the palace gate, and the two got out at the same time. Neither of them opened the car door for the other, nor did they even wait for the driver to open the door for them.
Lan Shuang wasn't like this before, but ever since she rode in the car with Li Ze, she's been unknowingly led astray by him.
Isn't it elegant to get out of the car yourself?
Oh well, let it be.
Lan Shuang, wearing high heels and a long, trailing dress, was stunned when she saw Li Ze walking forward on his own.
Aren't you going to help her up?
Li Ze took a few steps and realized that Lan Shuang hadn't followed, so he stopped, turned back to look at her, and silently asked: Why aren't you leaving?
Lan Shuang was on the verge of tears. Had the Li family not even taught Li Ze these basic social etiquettes?
At this moment, Lan Shuang didn't blame Li Ze, but rather the Li family.
"Lan Shuang, Li Ze." Zhou Yang got out of the car and immediately saw Li Ze.
Lan Shuang immediately felt like she had seen a savior and reached out her hand to Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang looked at her heels and long dress, and without saying a word, he flashed to her side.
Then, the three of them walked in a different way: Lan Shuang linked arms with Zhou Yang and walked in front, while Li Ze walked behind.
The reason Li Ze was walking behind was because Lan Shuang said, "If Li Ze walks in front, no one will notice us. Zhou Yang, use your tall frame to block Li Ze from behind."
Zhou Yang wholeheartedly agreed, "They should definitely be stopped."
Li Ze didn't care and obediently walked behind Zhou Yang, letting Zhou Yang cover him completely.
Upon entering the palace gates, the three of them walked slowly and steadily forward, following the flow of people and the red carpet on the ground.
Along the way, even with Zhou Yang blocking the way, many people still noticed Li Ze. Once they saw him, they couldn't take their eyes off him.
The empire has countless handsome men and beautiful women, but none are as captivating as this.
It's not just a beautiful appearance, but a fatal attraction that emanates from within.
Is Li Ze, the son of a merchant and an ordinary person, unworthy of He Xingjue, the commander of the First Legion?
No, not necessarily.
However, at that moment, not far ahead, someone was also pulling He Xingjue aside to discuss this issue.
“He Xingjue, I thought your partner would be Chen Qian.” The eldest princess, dressed in flamboyant makeup, blocked He Xingjue’s path, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and asked in confusion, “Chen Qian is an SS-level guide. I have nothing to say about losing to him, but what makes Li Ze so special? He’s just an ordinary person, and a sickly one at that. Can he help you soothe your mental energy when you need it?”
"Don't even mention relieving mental stress. With Li Ze's physique, I'm afraid we can't even relieve his mental energy," Zhou Yi mocked from the side.
He Xingjue's sharp gaze swept over Zhou Yi, and he sneered, "At least I have a partner, but Commander Zhou doesn't even have a lover. How does he relieve his energy?"
