Time of day.

At night.

A phone call was made to Xi Shenlian, a gold miner who had already left work.

The call came from Tianyuanli.

"I heard you dug up a golden meteorite?"

On the phone, her voice was as clear and calm as ever, with little obvious emotion revealed.

Without caring about how the other party got the information, Xi Shenlian replied indifferently:

"right."

The other party continued to ask:

"I also heard that when you decomposed the gold, you found a piece of special orange-red metal with a lot of patterns on the surface?"

Xi Shenlian continued to answer with that nonchalant attitude:

"right."

After hearing his straightforward answer, Tian Yuanli said with satisfaction:

"very good."

There was a hint of joy in his words.

Then he asked:

"Can you sell that to us?"

"That should be something called [Yashite Metal]. The authorities hope to use it to repair some damaged ancient equipment."

The so-called [Yashite Metal] is a special extraterrestrial metal in this world. Theoretically, the entire solar system does not have the natural environment to produce this metal.

So this kind of thing that comes from other galaxies usually only exists in data.

Even most experts who know about this thing don't know what it is used for.

However, according to the information retrieved from Xi Shenlian's mobile phone, historical records show that this thing was a regulated strategic resource even in the Atlantis period, and was usually used to manufacture equipment used by awakeners.

As for Tian Yuanli's words, Xi Shenlian had no doubts.

The other party had told him before that Japan possessed some awakened equipment called [Superpower Armament].

However, those gadgets are often so old that they are almost all broken and tattered, and even the materials to repair the equipment are hard to find. Most of the time, the authorities can only throw them into collection libraries as display items to pay tribute to the past glory of various human civilizations.

Facing Tian Yuanli’s trade request.

After touching his chin.

Xi Shenlian asked:

"So how are you going to buy it?"

"Let me make it clear first, I am not interested in money. I get annoyed when I see money. I hate money to the core. I don't want to make money, I just want to spend money."

“…”

Face this problem.

Tian Yuanli, who knew that Xi Shenlian was indeed not short of money, immediately asked back:

"What do you need?"

After saying.

With the idea of ​​trying.

She also gave an exploratory example:

"How about I give you a map of the entire territory of Japan, and you can circle the undeveloped areas on the map and mark out a single piece of land?"

"As long as it's not too much, the authorities will accept it."

"We can give you the enclosed lands that day."

This caused Xi Shenlian to complain instantly:

"Why does this sound like splitting the earth to become a king..."

"Will you give me a title ban or something after a while?"

On the contrary, Tian Yuanli didn't care much about it:

"That kind of thing, whatever..."

"You do deserve a piece of your own land anyway."

"In ancient times, almost every high-level awakener had his own country."

"Therefore, the authorities are willing to use a large piece of land to exchange for the [Yashit Metal] in your hands. We can take this opportunity to allocate land to you and settle you there..."

After hearing these words.

Xi Shenlian felt that [Yashite Metal] was of no use to him, and didn't mind exchanging it for other things, which made him feel a little annoyed.

He didn't understand what the point of taking another large piece of land was.

He was too lazy to care.

However, if he doesn't get the land, the money will be of no use to him.

As for not selling?

That's not good either.

He felt that he still had some friendship with Tian Yuanli.

Besides, the other person is a beautiful woman!

As a womanizer.

Beautiful women with good relationships.

You have to give some face.

Xi Shenlian has always acted based on beauty.

After thinking about it seriously.

Not long after.

Xi Shenlian had an idea.

"If not, you might as well give me an island."

"Give me an island with better environment."

"I'm thinking it might be a good idea to have a private beach."

"Of course, in the best case scenario, I hope there will be more wild animals on the island..."

"An island?"

"Wait a moment..."

Didn't refuse his proposal.

Tian Yuanli on the other end of the phone started to recall which islands in Japan had better environments.

By the way, while recalling those islands, she also spoke with some doubt:

“Private beach, I can understand that.”

"You are just trying to trick girls into putting on swimsuits for you, but..."

After hearing this, Xi Shenlian interrupted the other party's spell casting prelude and said:

"What you said is totally baseless. Why are you slandering me?"

"I'm just tired of my private pool at home and I'm thinking of swimming somewhere else!"

Tian Yuanli then asked in a calm but doubtful tone:

"……Really?"

"real."

"That's a good point, but I don't believe it."

"I think you can trust it."

"I won't."

…

Just like that, after a while of the peak confrontation.

Facing Xi Shenlian who was still stubborn.

Tian Yuanli gave up trying to figure out the true nature of the problem:

"Okay, let's skip that topic."

“Why would you want an island with lots of wildlife?”

“Are you fond of wild animals?”

About this matter.

Xi Shenlian readily admitted it:

"like."

That very clear answer made Tian Yuanli a little surprised and said:

"I can't believe you like animals..."

Xi Shenlian was a little puzzled:

"What's all the fuss about?"

"Don't wild animals usually taste good?"

"I keep it on the island and eat it whenever I want. It's so delicious!!"

This explanation made Tian Yuanli suddenly realize as if the fog had been cleared:

"So this is the kind of love..."

"No wonder, it's you who has to do it..."

Then she asked:

"In the ocean thousands of kilometers away from the mainland of Japan, there is an island with a total area of ​​3,200 square kilometers. Do you want it?"

"It is now a national protected area. More than 85 percent of the surface environment is covered by dense forest vegetation, where a large number of wild animals live. There is almost no sign of development on the entire island."

"If you want, I can exchange this island with you for [Yashit Metal]."

After thinking for a few seconds.

Xi Shenlian replied:

"Okay, but I have one condition."

"What are the additional conditions?"

He answered decisively:

"When I go out to play later, you have to come with me, and you have to change into a swimsuit."

"...Didn't you just say that the reason you chose the island wasn't to see girls in swimsuits?"

Xi Shenlian bluntly clarified:

"Of course not!"

"Swimsuits and stuff are secondary. I mainly want to see beautiful women playing in the water at the beach!!"

"Beach, swimsuit, and beauty, these three elements are indispensable!!"

At that moment, Tian Yuanli answered in the same straightforward manner:

"This sounds even more obscene and perverted."

This caused Xi Shenlian to become furious and he retorted:

"What's wrong with men being perverted?!"

"Just tell me whether you agree or not!!"

Listen to his confident rebuttal.

Tian Yuanli hesitated.

She simply couldn't understand what kind of mentality the guy opposite her had to live with until now.

He was able to say this so confidently.

But in the end.

Tian Yuanli still responded with some hesitation:

"……Can."

"Very good, happy transaction!"
