Chapter 15 Brother Xu An
Qu Tong hadn't surfed the Internet for several days and was unaware of the online turmoil.
But on the fifth day after entering the forest, Qu Tong received a video call from Xu An from the First Military Academy.
Xu An is the son of Qu Jianming's deceased comrade-in-arms. He is only two years older than his original self. He came to Qu Tong's home at the age of 7, and the two had a good relationship.
Qu Tong's father was a border guard and his mother was an excellent planter. She later followed her father as a medical staff member.
He died on the battlefield three years ago. In fact, the pension given by the empire to soldiers is not small. As long as he does not squander it, it is enough for Qu Tong to live a worry-free life for the rest of his life.
But after his parents passed away, his elder brother suffered mental damage during an accident while out, and his physical condition deteriorated. The kind-hearted original body used all the money to treat his brother.
This action of hers directly aroused the dissatisfaction of the eldest branch of the Qu family, who coveted the funds. At that time, Qu Tong and Xu An were still minors, so Qu Jianwen directly sent them to a remote planet as their guardian.
Two years ago, Xu An narrowly passed the entrance exam to the Empire's First Military Academy.
Qu Tong was taking a break, so he answered the call directly.
"elder brother."
Qu Tong called out very naturally.
After all, this is the only person who is kind to the original body.
Xu An on the other side was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene behind Qu Tong, and asked: "Sister, where are you?"
"Planet 1757."
"Why did you run into the forest? Go home quickly. What if you encounter a star beast?" Xu An was very concerned about Qu Tong.
After all, my sister has an F physique and almost no mental strength, so she can't deal with even a slightly ferocious beast.
"It's okay. I'm just walking around the periphery. There's no danger." Qu Tong made up a story.
Xu An felt relieved after hearing this and did not doubt the truthfulness of Qu Tong's words.
Because Qu Tong had always been well-behaved and sensible in the past.
Xu Ancai asked the main question: "Sister, wasn't it Qu Wanwan who was to marry into the royal family? How did it become you?"
After a week of training, he saw a hot topic on the Star Network: the royal family officially announced that His Royal Highness Yu Ting was getting married.
He had always known about the marriage between His Highness Yu Ting and the Qu family, but he never expected that His Highness Yu Ting's marriage partner would become his sister.
So after I heard the news, I immediately called Qu Tong.
Qu Tong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xu An also knew about it.
Then I thought that royal marriages would normally be widely announced, so it didn't seem strange.
"Qu Wanwan doesn't want to." Qu Tong answered simply.
"You can't just take his place, you haven't even met Lord Yu Ting, and Lord Yu Ting..."
Xu An didn't say the second half of the sentence directly, but Qu Tong understood.
"Did your uncle and the others force you to do this? Why didn't you call me?" Without waiting for Qu Tong to answer, Xu An asked angrily.
"No, I agreed to it myself. I think it's fine, brother, you don't have to worry."
It’s not that Qu Tong deliberately protected the people of the Qu family, but he just didn’t want Xu An to set foot in the Qu family’s den for him again, so as to avoid becoming a handle to threaten him.
Xu An carefully observed Qu Tong's expression and confirmed that his sister was not sad about this matter. Instead, she seemed quite satisfied with the marriage. Then he suppressed his emotions and said:
"I'm glad you're okay."
Afterwards, Xu An asked Qu Tong about his plans. When he learned that Qu Tong would report to the First Military Academy in the second half of the year, he was surprised and a little worried.
After hanging up, Xu An looked at the less than 10,000 star coins in his account, which was his gain from this training camp.
Recently he has clearly felt that his spiritual sea is unusually unstable, and the mental riot may happen in the next few days.
After he fainted during training last time, his instructor told him not to drink those inferior mental stabilizing potions anymore. Suppression was only temporary and would make his mental outbursts more frequent.
Of course he knew that cheap things are hard to come by, but the low-level mental stabilization potion from the Pharmacist Guild cost 50,000 per bottle, which was not something he could afford.
Lying on his back on the bed, he opened Qu Tong's account and transferred 5,000 star coins to it.
My roommate came in at this time and asked casually, "Liu Hang is inviting us to dinner tomorrow, are you going?"
"I won't go."
Liu Hang is a teammate in this training camp. He is from another class and I heard that his family is well off.
"The party is set at Shui Yang Restaurant, and I don't really want to go." He Zhou said embarrassedly.
Shui Yang Restaurant is surrounded by high-consumption places. He Zhou's family conditions are not very good. His father is in poor health and is hospitalized all year round, which requires expenses. He is short of money just like Xu An.
He Zhou unscrewed a bottle of low-level nutrient solution and drank it. Noticing the chaotic mental power in the air, he said with concern: "Your mental power is in a very bad state. Is your mental power going to riot?"
"Um."
"The instructor asked you to pay attention to this mental riot last time. Are you ready for the mental stabilizing potion?"
Xu An remained silent and did not answer.
He Zhou also guessed the answer.
The two had been roommates for two years and knew each other quite well.
"This mission is indeed quite heavy. My mental riot may also occur in the next two days. The school has built several new cooling-off rooms. Why don't you apply for a spot and go with me?"
The cool-down room is a closed room specially built by the school for students to vent their violent mental energy during riots. Of course, it is also to prevent their mental riots from getting out of control and causing casualties and property losses.
It is usually used by students with S-level or above physique and low effectiveness of mental stabilizing potions.
However, other students can also use it, and the school has also taken groups like Xu An and He Zhou into consideration.
"Okay." Xu An agreed.
This is the only way.
When Qu Tong received the transfer from Xu An, he thanked him without any pretense.
Although this is not very good, she is indeed short of money now.
The moment before, she was still wondering where to get the missing herbs.
She had picked all the usable herbs in the forest, but was still short of a few.
No matter how powerful the supernatural power is, it cannot come out of nothing.
With Xu An's money, he can place an order directly on StarNet. The finished medicinal materials are a bit expensive. One plant of moonlight grass costs 3,500 star coins.
Qu Tong can only buy cheap seedlings and seeds.
Once she has prepared the medicine, she will send a bottle to Xu An first.
If the success rate is high, you can send two more bottles.
We’ll talk about the rest later.
After placing orders for everything he needed, Qu Tong prepared to go home.
Except for the first day, Qu Tong did not do any more live broadcasts.
I have been researching potions these days. After all, a bottle of potion can be sold at a high price of 50,000, and the intermediate mental stabilization potion can even be sold for 200,000.
So, of course, make a lot of money first.
Besides, her special abilities are limited after all, and she can't use them all to grow fruits.
Growing fruits and vegetables in the interstellar world is a difficult task. Farmers cannot just grow them casually. It requires not only capital but also technology. Planting is also a popular major in the interstellar world.
I have to find someone to pretend.
If you want to plant on a large scale, it will take time, and you have to consider logistics and protection issues. You can make plans when you have some free time.
Relatively speaking, medicine is more convenient.
