Chapter 104: Millennium War
Lady: “…”
Jasmine, who was standing opposite her, didn't care about her feelings at all and continued, "According to the long-time fans of this store, if they raise the prices, the quality of the stones will improve!"
"Really... is it really that magical?" The lady still found it a little unconvinced.
Sister Jasmine smiled mysteriously, "My nephew once gave me a piece of this stone. My husband and I were on a visit some time ago, and we ran into danger, didn't we?
It was that stone that helped me block the alien's sneak attack!"
Sister Jasmine recalled the thrilling scene that day and her face looked a little unhappy.
"What? Why didn't you say so earlier?" The lady became anxious at this time, feeling that she had missed out on 100 million.
Noble ladies like them usually accompany their husbands on visits to other planets, although they are accompanied by a large group of bodyguards.
But there will always be times when there are omissions, and at that time you have to rely on luck.
In recent years, alien species have become increasingly rampant, and many officials have died inexplicably while visiting other planets.
If there really was such a life-saving thing, what would one million mean? She could even afford one hundred million.
“Then…” The lady stared at Sister Jasmine with her beautiful eyes that still retained their charm.
"Don't even think about it. This black shop will release new products anyway. Just keep an eye on it."
After all, they were old friends for many years. Sister Jasmine saw through what the other person was going to say next at a glance and refused without thinking, and the other person was about to say it.
The lady was furious! "I'd pay ten times the price for one piece from you, but you still have several pieces anyway."
"No, I want it for my daughter." Sister Jasmine refused.
"As a friend, I'm giving you a piece of honest advice. Don't be fooled by the fact that this store sells some inconspicuous little stones. I'm sure that within a month, we won't be able to afford the things in this store!" Sister Jasmine added.
"What? People of your status can't buy this thing?" The lady was shocked. What on earth was this store selling?
"My family guesses that anyone who can make something like this is definitely not an ordinary person in real life. Maybe it's some big shot doing it for fun, or maybe the big shot finds selling this kind of thing boring and will stop selling it one day!"
Sister Jasmine said jokingly.
"It's just an ordinary stone..." The lady still doesn't know the function of those stones.
The reason why she wanted to buy it was because several of her good friends in the circle all had it, so she thought of buying it in order to have a common topic.
Now after hearing what Sister Jasmine said, I realized that it was not because they wanted to please some big shot that they spent a lot of money to buy these useless stones!
Yes, the lady had previously guessed in her heart that the black shop was just a small business opened by a big boss in a certain circle, and the sisters went to buy things in the store just to show their support.
Now that I know the truth, I regret it so much!
"Xiaoxue, everyone in this circle is so cunning. Have you ever seen anyone so blatantly spend money to please someone?"
Sister Jasmine was speechless at her words. She didn't understand why someone who usually looked so smart could act so stupid at such a critical moment?
The lady said: "You didn't explain what this stone is used for..."
Sister Jasmine: “…”
Then she could only helplessly look at the time interval between the black shop putting goods on the shelves. Fortunately, this store would be updated every three to five days, so she still had a chance.
However, the black shop was not as they had imagined. It did not stock new goods every two or three days as usual. Instead, they waited for more than a month and the shop still did not see any updates.
At that time, the effect of those stones had completely erupted in the circle, and the aristocratic circle was completely boiling.
“…”
Nan Chi still knew nothing about this. She lived a very rhythmic life every day. She would play two rounds of battlefield in the game, then review her homework, chat with the elderly, and follow Milu to learn about the sphere of influence of the Central Star.
"The Huo family?" Mi Lu's expression was a little strange when she heard Nan Chi asking about the Huo family.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this family?" Nan Chi looked at Mi Lu's expression, a little puzzled.
"There is nothing wrong with this family. In fact, this family is not the indigenous people of our galaxy if you trace it back." Milu's originally high spirits faded, and he seemed to be lost in some memories.
"Not natives of the star system? Is there such a thing in this universe?" Nan Chi was shocked.
"I met countless talented people when I was traveling in the interstellar space, and I just heard a rumor." Milu looked at Nan Chi hesitantly, not knowing whether he should tell this gossip to the little girl.
"Just tell me as if you were telling a story. I'm not the kind of person who talks too much." Nan Chi became anxious when he heard that the old man didn't want to continue.
“Actually, this isn’t a secret. Legend has it that the Huo family’s ancestors came here from another universe. Speaking of which, the first generation of the Huo family was truly a talented person with unparalleled cultivation talent.
Like Huo Jiu, who was already close to the King level before he was thirty, many people said he was a genius that appears once in a thousand years, but compared to his ancestors, he was nothing..."
Nan Chi listened to Mi Lu talking about these seemingly outrageous secrets, and seemed to be lost in thought.
"So what about Skynet's predecessor? Did the Huo family really pick it up from some corner of the universe?"
Mi Lu was stunned. He didn't expect that this girl even knew this. It seemed that she had put a lot of effort into the Central Star these days.
"That's just what we say to the outside world. I think that thing must have been brought over from the Huo family's original world by their ancestors!"
Nan Chi's heart skipped a beat. The original world? "Is there really another universe, another world in this world?"
"Of course there are! Take the alien species that have been bothering us for a while now. We speculate that these things all come from another universe..."
When it comes to alien species, Milu is also very powerless.
That kind of thing is really endless. Until now, people have not figured out a way to completely eliminate them, and they are becoming more and more arrogant!
"Aliens... do they want to be the masters of our world?" Nan Chi thought of those energy bodies. She had come into contact with such things many times, but she still didn't know what purpose their existence in the universe served.
"Yes, those things feed on the lives of our world. If we are defeated one day, we will be kept captive by them like animals and become their food!"
"So, have we humans been ruled by them for thousands of years?"
Nan Chi was curious. She had been reading the history of the universe these days and had found vague mentions of humans being defeated in a war, but that tragic history was not recorded in detail.
