Chapter 238
…
Then there were only six people left to run for team leader, namely Qian Qian from the Energy Research Department, Oak from the Combat Department, Meng Kuo Carter from the Mecha Combat Department, Bowen from the History Department, Lan Qi from the Mecha Manufacturing Department, and Yi Yi from the Command Department.
Among the six people, Qian Qian from the Department of Energy Research, who reported last yesterday, was the wealthiest and was the first to speak, offering everyone a huge temptation of wealth.
"Classmates, as long as you agree that I should be elected as the team leader, I am willing to pay each of you 1,000 high-level energy stones, plus 5,000 intermediate energy stones."
As soon as Qian Qian said this, Si Xiaobai immediately followed up.
The child yelled,
"Rich guy, I choose you!!!"
Then he suddenly pounced on the money?
But it is no wonder that Si Xiaobai is so excited. Such a generous deal, 1,000 high-level energy stones plus 5,000 intermediate energy stones per person. If it were placed on the planet G2563 where Mu Jiao once lived, it would be enough for an ordinary person to live a happy life for a lifetime.
Even in the capital star field of the Mingao Empire, this amount of energy stones is a windfall, enough to pay the down payment for a house on a planet on the edge of the capital star field and still have some left over.
Mecha manufacturing is a very expensive profession, with even a single component costing a fortune. Consequently, students majoring in mecha manufacturing often come from wealthy families, including Si Xiaobai's. But that didn't stop him from being greedy! The lavish sum promised by the wealthy was more than enough for him to purchase the retired master-level mecha he'd longed for.
Even Si Xiaobai, who comes from a wealthy family, is like this, let alone Lina, who comes from a poor family.
After being offered the money, Lina's heart immediately burned with excitement, her eyes sparkling. So many Energy Stones! She came from an ordinary family. If it weren't for her rare Light-Element talent and her excellent grades, she wouldn't have been able to attend university in the Capital Star Region.
Apart from the government subsidy and exemption, the rest of her college tuition was scraped together by her family.
If he could get the property given before the money was paid, he would not only be able to pay off the family’s debts, but also have a large amount of wealth left.
Lina's mind was clattering with thoughts, but her body remained motionless. Her arm was firmly entwined with Yi Yi, who was standing beside her.
Although the conditions offered by Qian Qian were very tempting, Yi Yi was someone she absolutely could not offend. Even if she coveted these energy stones, she could only covet them silently in her heart.
The Yi family is a second-class aristocratic family, and the planet where her family lives is one of the Yi family's territories. Yi Yi is the younger sister of the head of the Yi family.
She and Wang Anqi are on the same planet, and this year she is attending the same university as Yi... Unless she and Wang Anqi can get together with someone more powerful than Yi's family, they cannot afford to offend Yi Yi.
Lina suppressed the emotions in her eyes, looked up at Wang Anqi who had a calm face on the other side, and sneered in her heart, how aloof!
She and Wang Anqi were both from ordinary backgrounds and had always been with Yi Yi. However, Yi Yi clearly valued Wang Anqi more than her, and the "benefits" she gave her privately were not only more numerous but also more valuable! No wonder Wang Anqi remained unmoved, remaining indifferent to this wealth.
Lina felt both resentful and bitter. She naturally did not dare to feel resentful towards Yi Yi, but she became more and more displeased with Wang Anqi.
She always hides behind others and never steps forward in everything she does. She is obviously the one who always takes the lead for Yi Yi, but she always seems to be inferior to her!
