The person who retorted thought that Qiao Mei would refute her after she said that, but to her surprise, she nodded and agreed, "It is indeed quite embarrassing, so do you accept Xu Heyu's merchandise here?"
Xiao Liu: ? ?
Xiao Liu's colleagues: ? ? ?
"What did you say? You want to sell Xu Heyu merchandise?"
Xiao Liu looked incredulous, after all, she had heard how much Qiao Mei treasured these things.
Qiao Mei replied calmly, "Well, so do you accept them here or not?"
"Yes, yes, I've got it. Come with me then." Xiao Liu still found it a bit unbelievable. Just as she was about to reach out to pull Qiao Mei, she was reminded that she hadn't yet collected the bet she won from her colleague.
Xiao Liu's colleagues were shy, so they reluctantly each took out 1,000 Star Coins and transferred them to Xiao Liu's account. Xiao Liu looked at Qiao Mei with bright eyes and gratitude.
When I took her to pawn Xu Heyu's merchandise, I even used the employee discount to add a little extra money for her.
In total, I pawned almost 40,000 interstellar coins.
"Only 40,000? I remember when I bought these things, it cost at least 200,000 interstellar coins." Qiao Mei looked at the pawn amount calculated by Xiao Liu and was a little puzzled.
Xiao Liu sighed, gritted his teeth, and finally told the truth:
"Actually, these things aren't worth that much money. They deliberately inflated the price because they knew that you, Seventh Princess, would do anything to get your hands on anything related to Xu Heyu. What I'm giving you now is already much higher than the normal market price."
In short, it's all the original owner's fault for being too love-struck.
Qiao Mei paused for a moment, accepted the reality, and thanked Xiao Liu: "If it weren't for you, I probably would have received even less."
Xiao Liu waved his hand: "It's okay, you've helped me a lot. By the way, I don't know... I don't know if I can add you as a contact ID! If you want to pawn anything in the future, you can come to me again! I owe you a favor this time and I can't repay it all."
"Of course." Qiao Mei is short of money right now, and she's definitely not going to a pawnshop just once. Why wouldn't she take advantage of an acquaintance who can help her?
After exchanging their computer IDs, Qiao Mei took Ao Cang to the Imperial Star Plaza, where the aircraft was located, as there were many shops selling Awakened One equipment and daily necessities for their familiars nearby.
Ao Cang looked at the girl beside him who was tallying up the money and asked her, "Who is Xu Heyu? I seem to have heard them mention him to you more than once. Do you like him very much?"
Qiao Mei glanced at Ao Cang, unsure how to respond.
After all, the original owner of this body did indeed like Xu Heyu very much, but after seeing the concern in Ao Canglong's eyes, she ultimately chose not to consider things from the original owner's perspective, and looked into his eyes with her red eyes and said earnestly:
"He's my cousin, with whom I had a childhood betrothal, but it hasn't been fulfilled yet. I don't like him. I only did what I did before because I wasn't thinking straight."
The Dragon God had countless followers and was almost always able to tell whether someone was lying or not. Of course, he could tell that Qiao Mei was not lying.
This suddenly made his previously somewhat suffocated heart feel relieved. He closed his dragon eyes and didn't say anything more, leaving Qiao Mei unsure whether he believed him or not.
"Rumble..."
Just then, the sky outside suddenly darkened, followed by a torrential downpour. The aircraft's windshield was instantly flooded with rainwater, triggering the automatic rain-cleaning mode.
Seeing the heavy rain, Qiao Mei had no choice but to temporarily change her route, taking Ao Cang back to the Seventh Palace and putting the redeemed inhibitors back into Xu Hui's bedroom.
After doing all this, he took half of the interstellar coins and offered them to Ao Cang as a sacrifice.
She thought it would grow a lot of scales, but to her surprise, when the scales grew to the seventh one, the growth rate became very slow. Every thousand interstellar coins spent would only result in a tiny amount of scales growing.
In response, Ao Cang explained that this is similar to the leveling-up games that humans play; the further you progress, the harder it is to level up.
Qiao Mei exclaimed in surprise, "You even know about games!"
Ao Cang: "......."
What kind of talk is this? Although he is a dragon god, he is not some primitive dragon living in the deep mountains and forests.
With half of her Star Coins already used up, Qiao Mei repaid the 1,000 Star Coins she had borrowed from Dean Li and began searching for suitable targets on the Star Mech website's bounty Q&A section.
She had made up her mind. Since starting with small amounts wouldn't be convincing and she was going to be ridiculed anyway, she might as well start with large amounts.
Having decided to do it right, Qiao Mei immediately set her sights on the question with the highest reward of 10,000. After looking at the questioner's question, she stroked her chin and went to check the information to ensure that her answer could withstand scrutiny.
This thought lasted for an entire afternoon and evening.
When Xu Hui returned, the light in Qiao Mei's bedroom was already off. She could only quietly close Qiao Mei's bedroom door and go back to her own bedroom.
As soon as she took off her coat, her attention was drawn to a pile of inhibitors on the table. She stood at the door for a long time before wiping the moisture from the corners of her eyes, taking a deep breath, and going inside.
......
The next morning, Qiao Mei was woken up by her constantly vibrating personal computer bracelet.
She opened her eyes and looked out the window at the sky, which had cleared after the rain. After a moment of surprise, she looked down at Ao Cang, who seemed to have been woken up as well. For some reason, she lowered her head and rubbed her head against Ao Cang's dragon head, saying in a lazy, hoarse voice, "Good morning, Dragon God. If you haven't had enough sleep, go back to sleep. I'll check the messages on my personal terminal first."
Ao Cang was indeed a little sleepy, but after Qiao Mei rubbed against him, the entire dragon, from tail to head, instantly woke up. The dragon's body was covered with a thin layer of powder for the umpteenth time since following Qiao Mei, and the entire dragon's head froze.
Qiao Mei had noticed Ao Cang's unusual behavior, but seeing that he didn't resist too much, she began to push her luck. She continued to press her face against his smooth, warm dragon scales before getting up and sending the message from her computer bracelet to her desktop computer to check.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered two pieces of news that surprised and delighted her.
One reason was that her answer, which she used to test the waters with 1,000 Star Coins, was accepted and used for trial purposes, resulting in an additional 500 Star Coins trial fee in her account.
Another one is the question she spent most of yesterday answering, which had a reward of 10,000 interstellar coins. The questioner contacted her and sent her many questions, but not to mock her; he was asking her serious questions.
Seeing this, Qiao Mei felt a sense of accomplishment, as if her first small mecha model in modern times had been recognized. After a smile, she first took a screenshot of the trial fee notification and sent it to those who had previously doubted her.
The meaning is obvious—it's not that she's incapable, but the person who asked the question did try it, isn't that infuriating?
