"You've already agreed this time, and you definitely won't be able to get the 20 million back. But if there's a next time, can you ask me before you make a decision? Even if I'm not on the scene, there's time for the computer to send me a message, right?" Moran asked.
Fuqin: “…Yes.”
"Then don't forget it then."
"All right."
Moran was satisfied.
Fu Qin thought for a moment and brought up another matter. "Oh, by the way, the thief Goethe also used an earring as a medium to create a space with his mental power. Your manuscript and other people's stolen items are all stored there."
"space?"
"Well, Blake said it's a space independent of this world, and the supporting force is spiritual power."
The mecha pendant uses space folding technology to collect the mecha. The mecha is essentially still stored in this world, but the space folding function of the pendant can allow it to be quickly transferred to the user.
But Goethe's earrings are different; they create a new, independent space that cannot be opened except through the medium of the earrings.
This is indeed a good place to store things.
Hearing this, Moran fell into deep thought. "Using mental power to create space... theoretically it should be possible, but maintaining this space would also require a constant consumption of mental power, right?"
Fu Qin nodded. "Yes. But its advantages outweigh the consumption issue. It's spacious, easy to carry, and very discreet. Most people wouldn't imagine there's a secret hidden inside an earring."
“I didn’t think of that at first.”
"When I first captured Goethe, I tried to search him, but I couldn't find your manuscript. I also tried to use violence to make him talk, but he refused to speak. It was only after Blake told me the secret of his earring that I was able to recover it."
Thinking back, Fu Qin realized it was no wonder Goethe had been so confident and fearless when they first met. If it weren't for Romilda's warning, Fu Qin probably wouldn't have been able to recover the manuscript even if she had beaten Goethe to death.
After listening to Fu Qin, Mo Lan curled his lips and said, "So, the leader of Dark River is still useful. He is worth 10 million."
He was still worried about the 20 million that he couldn't get back.
Fu Qin: "She also told me the method of using mental power to disguise myself."
"...Okay, okay, I reluctantly admit that she is worth 20 million." Moran admitted defeat.
He turned the topic back to the earrings. "But these earrings are really useful. If you don't mind your mental energy flowing out every day, I can try to research and make them."
At this point, Moran suddenly realized: "No, this level of mental energy consumption may not be worth mentioning to you?"
Seeing Fu Qin's agreement, Moran pressed his solar plexus.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
They both clearly have SSS mental strength, so how could there be such a huge gap?!
And the same thing about Goethe, he also has SSS psychic power, but how come his brain is better than his, able to come up with so many groundbreaking ideas?!
"Okay, I'll study it first and contact you when I succeed." Moran waved his hand.
"Okay, thank you for your help then." Fu Qin stood up and said goodbye.
"Oh, wait a minute!" Moran called her.
"?"
As soon as Moran turned on the light computer and started operating, Fu Qin immediately received a reminder message on the light computer, informing her that her Star Network account had received a transfer.
Fu Qin clicked it and took a look. The row of zeros made her eyes a little dizzy.
"This is a bonus, thank you for helping me get the manuscript back," Moran explained.
"You don't need so much, right?" Fu Qin asked.
"This money was originally intended to be used to look for Goethe. Now that I don't need it anymore, I'll give it all to you. And—" Moran said, holding up the manuscript, "these manuscripts are priceless to me."
According to Moran's plan, he wanted to project the face in the surveillance camera all over the corner of Liefeng Star. This was already a considerable expense, not to mention that after closing the star port, he would have to pay many people lost wages. All in all, it was almost this amount.
"The boss is generous." Fu Qin gave Mo Lan a thumbs up.
Not long after returning to the office, Fu Qin received another transfer from Romilda.
The eighty million star coins, together with the transfer Moran just gave her, added up to over one hundred million.
Fu Qin looked at the few extra zeros that suddenly appeared in his account and experienced the feeling of becoming rich overnight.
[Smoking is harmful to health: The money has been transferred, have you received it? ]
【Father is kind and son is filial: Got it.】
[Smoking is harmful to health: Okay, I've brought the person to Luce's house. Luce asked me to bring him a message, asking if you want to work for him.]
[A loving father and a filial son: Which Luce?]
[Smoking is harmful to health: Of course, it is the head of the Luce family, Anthony Luce.]
Anthony Luce, the head of the Luce family, just celebrated his 120th birthday not long ago.
When it comes to this person, almost everyone in the Third Galaxy knows him.
Anthony Luce, who was born during the heyday of aristocratic power, made his mark in the Interstellar Empire. Although he was just a small baron in the third galaxy, he relied on his personal charm to marry the daughter of the second most powerful family in the empire at that time. From then on, he was protected by his wife's family, and his family was able to grow and develop.
Before Song Tingyun and others rebelled, the Luce family had become one of the major families in the third galaxy after decades of hard work, relying on the relationship with his wife's family.
When the Empire and the Federation came to war, Luce sensed something unusual in advance. Unlike other nobles, he did not stand against the Federation. Instead, he retreated, hid behind his wife's family, and quietly developed his own power.
When the Interstellar Federation was about to achieve complete victory, Luce seized the opportunity to assess the situation and changed his previous obedience to his wife's family. He killed his father-in-law when they were not prepared and surrendered to the Federation.
The Federation naturally welcomed his joining and took him under its wing after confirming that there were no problems with the Luce family.
Later, when the Federation was founded, all the nobles who had colluded with the Zerg mutants were punished, leaving only some small families with no power, or families like Luce who had already expressed their surrender.
Luce also took the opportunity to destroy several other major clans in the Third Galaxy and completely took over the Third Galaxy.
Only then did everyone realize that the family that originally depended on humans had become a behemoth in the third galaxy without them noticing when.
It was too late for the Federation to weaken the Luce family at this time. In the past few years, it could only try to send some people from the capital star to take over as galaxy leader, just to keep an eye on Luce.
People have mixed opinions about Anthony Luce. Some say he is a great speculator and a responsible head of the family, but many also think he is too cold-blooded and a scum who has let his wife and her family down.
But no matter what the evaluation is, there are many people in the interstellar world who are willing to work for Luce.
But there is no quilt inside.
[Father and son: I refuse.]
[Smoking is harmful to health: Oh? Why? Few people would refuse Luce.]
[A loving father and a filial son: There is no reason, they just don’t want to.]
[Smoking is harmful to health: Even if Luce offered you a salary a hundred times higher than your current job, would you still refuse it?]
【Father is kind and son is filial: Yes.】
This time, the other party did not respond for a long time.
When Fu Qin was already busy with other things, Romilda's message came back:
[Smoking is harmful to health: You refused so decisively that I began to suspect, like Goethe, that Moran Roderick had given you some kind of hallucinogenic drink.]
[A loving father and a filial son: ...You think too much.]
[Smoking is harmful to health: Really? Luce said his invitation is valid for a long time. If you want to join one day, you can contact me.]
[A loving father and a filial son: This day will never come.]
[Smoking is harmful to health: I will wait and see.]
Not long after Fu Qin and Romilda finished their conversation, a figure they had just seen appeared outside the dormitory building in a hurry.
The students passing by saw their principal enter the dormitory management office with an anxious look on his face, and as soon as he entered, he turned on the external invisible mode of the glass wall.
Facing the blackened glass wall, a group of students stood outside with a puzzled look in their heads. They wanted to gossip but didn't know where to start.
Inside the house, Moran was still gasping for breath when he sat down because he was in such a hurry.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Luce is looking for you?"
Fu Qin raised an eyebrow, "You're quite well-informed."
Hearing this, Moran rolled his eyes. "He suddenly came to me and asked if I could give you up to him."
"Huh? Did he really say that?" Fu Qin frowned, then became curious, "Then what did you say?"
"Of course I told him right away - no!" Moran stood up excitedly.
"Oh, really?"
Moran's arrogance immediately died down, and he sat back down. "No, I said you are free. It's up to you where you want to stay."
In response, Fu Qin commented: "Coward."
“…”
"I was thinking that if you really wanted to go, wouldn't it block your way if I refused directly?" Moran defended.
His answer made Fu Qin a little confused: "Why do you think I would agree to Luce?"
Hearing this, Moran said truthfully: "I thought you might like the bodyguard job."
Fu Quilt: "..."
That year, when the four were about to graduate, everyone thought that Fu Qin would join the military with Song Tingyun, even Mo Lan thought so.
However, Fu Qin's choice surprised everyone.
She did not choose to join the military, but became the personal bodyguard of the largest arms supplier at the time. The job was a bit troublesome, with ignorant people trying to assassinate her every day, but it was generally easy for her, and the key was that the salary was high.
Fu Qin saved enough money to pay for Bai Hao's production in three years and returned it all to Moran.
It was not until later that Song Tingyun suspected that there was something wrong with the emperor and called them in to discuss it, and only then did Fu Qin quit his job.
It was precisely because of this work experience that Moran was worried that Fu Qin would become Luce's bodyguard. The moment he received the news, he immediately rushed over in a hurry to confirm with Fu Qin in person.
"So how did you reply?" Moran asked carefully.
Fu Qin: "I refused."
Moran breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, it's good that you refuse. I was just worried that if you didn't refuse, you would stand against us."
"What's the meaning?"
"You should be able to see it, right? The Federation can't allow those old nobles to dominate the galaxy forever, and will continue to find ways to weaken their power. If you stand on Luce's side, it means you are against us," Moran explained.
Fu Qin glanced at him and said, "You know, I will never stand on the side of the old nobles."
Moran smiled and said, "You're right, I'm narrow-minded."
As he said that, he stood up and turned off the external invisible mode.
Now he was even in the mood to joke: "What a pity, I should have recorded the part where you rejected Luce for me and let Song Tingyun and the others listen to it."
Fu quilt: “?”
...For whom?
"How about you say it again and I'll record it?" Moran asked tentatively on the edge of danger.
Fu Qin took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want to be beaten?"
Moran immediately stopped smiling and returned to his composure: "Just forget I said anything. Bye."
After saying that, he immediately opened the door and slipped away.
The students who were still looking for gossip saw Moran quickly leave the scene, and he looked like he was fleeing in panic when he left, which made them even more confused for a moment.
Why does the principal seem to be afraid of Teacher Fu just like them?
The author has something to say:
A few words to add about the wealth value in the previous chapter.
Fu Qin and Song Tingyun are not actually poor, it’s mainly because their reference points are too rich orz
Also, Song Tingyun is rich (really!)
But I can't compare to the other two——
Zhou Xu: I can open my own research institute and be the boss. My research results are very valuable.
Moran: My family has been in business for generations. If I don't do my best to be a principal/build mecha, I will have to go back and inherit the billions of family fortune.
