Chapter 229 -230 The Money is Gone Again

Rubble wanted some too.

At Rubble’s request, Nian Shutong stood up and, with her chopsticks, fed him too—the fourth to be fed.

After Rubble finished eating, Ji Sisi looked at the last fried meat roll on the plate, feeling conflicted.

She wanted to eat it, but there was only one left.

Eating it felt somewhat distressing.

Nian Shutong noticed Ji Sisi’s dilemma with just a glance and, with a pair of chopsticks, split the dry tofu roll down the middle perfectly symmetrical, though how she accomplished it was anyone’s guess.

Seeing this, Ji Sisi’s eyes practically sparkled with little suns.

“Mr. Nian, how did you do that?”

“They’re exactly the same size.”

“You’re amazing! So perfect!”

Ji Sisi wasn’t in a hurry to eat; instead, she just circled the plate, wanting to study it thoroughly.

Nian Shutong grabbed Ji Sisi’s hand and placed the plate in her palm, saying, “Take your time to figure it out.”

She then turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue her role as the verbal head chef.

Outside, Ji Sisi admired it for several minutes and ultimately couldn’t bring herself to eat it. She saved the tofu fried meat roll in a box, treasuring it as a perfect keepsake.

This was a gift from Mr. Nian, and she absolutely had to cherish it.

After Ha Ha had a meat roll, he immediately went back to work.

As he saw it, since Nian Shutong was kind and had made so much delicious food, it would be wrong for Ha Ha not to work a little more.

Elder Hua didn’t have much to do besides teaching. He was always goofing around with Dou Dou and seemed to be enjoying it immensely.

A few minutes later, a delivery arrived near the small wooden house.

There were two delivery robots.

One was the silvery-white robot which Nian Shutong often saw, but the other was black and looked much more advanced, with faint energy fluctuations, suggesting it was capable of some use of force.

Nian Shutong stepped out of the small wooden house and walked towards the robots with Rubble joining her.

“Rubble, what are you doing?”

Nian Shutong’s tone was one of disbelief, yet she couldn’t help but ask resignedly.

Rubble seemed quite unfazed as he replied in his typically sparse manner, “Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble is here to receive the delivery.”

With his response, Nian Shutong’s suspicions were confirmed.

In just the past two days, there had been more robots coming and going from the small wooden house than in the previous month, all delivering purchases made by Rubble—this was the main reason Nian Shutong was out of money.

Thinking of the nine million Star Coins she had just transferred to Rubble, Nian Shutong couldn’t help but ask with a hint of heartache, “Did you spend all the money?”

“Not all of it.”

Hopeful, Nian Shutong looked at Rubble, but the next second, she knew she had hoped in vain.

“There are four Star Coins left.”

“Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble has been very thrifty. I did not purchase the best-equipped devices, and some of the rare materials are very expensive.”

Nian Shutong was aware of that but still felt the pinch.

“Alright, I’ll work hard to earn money.”

Nian Shutong thought that if worse came to worst, she might have to rob Fu Yunhe.

Speaking of Fu Yunhe, he had just come out of the kitchen and stood by Nian Shutong’s side, helpfully suggesting, “I’ll transfer half the profits from the game into your account first.”

No sooner had Fu Yunhe finished speaking than he hastily added, “It’s not that I won’t give you all the profits; it’s that I need to keep a little to continue making money.”

Nian Shutong looked at the hurriedly explaining Fu Yunhe and asked, “Am I that frightening? Why does it seem like you’re a bit afraid of me?”

Fu Yunhe could only give an awkward smile, not knowing how to respond to the question.

Should he tell the truth? “You’re terrifying, do I even need to say it?”

He dared not say so, but there were always brazen brothers ready to face death, like Rubble.

“Ms. Nian Shutong, you are indeed a bit scary, but don’t worry, Rubble won’t mind,” he said.

“The Mechanical Clan will be your everlasting companions.”

The previous statement had given Nian Shutong a bit of a shock, but the next moment she felt the sincerity in Rubble’s tone.

“You will also be my everlasting companion,” Nian Shutong patted Rubble’s arm, signaling him to take delivery of the goods.

She then curiously asked Fu Yunhe, “What’s the difference between these two robots?”

“The white one is the basic model, which is fine for transporting general goods. The black one is an upgraded version, used for escorting more valuable cargo.”

Nian Shutong nodded in understanding and said, “So, the white one is cheaper and the black one more expensive.”

“Ha ha, you’re right,” Fu Yunhe said. After speaking, he opened his Light Computer, ready to transfer money to Nian Shutong.

Nian Shutong did not stop him, but this time, accepting the money seemed not as matter-of-fact as before.

When her Light Computer received the incoming transfer notification, she looked at it and then, astonished, looked up and exclaimed, “Does the game make that much money?”

Fu Yunhe had transferred a whopping twelve million Star Coins. His game had just launched a few days ago—this was a windfall, making Nian Shutong almost not want to farm anymore.

Of course, that was just a fleeting thought.

“Not bad, it should be more in the future.” Fu Yunhe had done some tricks on Star Network; some pages browsed would display his game, so even at the beginning, he could make money.

The most important point was that his game was incredible.

The game’s review section was filled with nothing but “It’s so real!”

It was like a real Insect Clan Battlefield, with many defensive tactics that were particularly practical.

In interstellar gaming, a game could reach extreme popularity, and the quality of a game could quickly be judged by everyone.

Nian Shutong observed the confident Fu Yunhe, not asking further, simply opening her palm.

“This is for you.”

The familiar pill, the familiar color.

Fu Yunhe did not take it right away, first asking, “Can you easily produce such pills?”

“Of course not.” Nian Shutong spoke the truth; every pill required medicinal power to create, and it cost her a lot of energy to condense just one.

“Take it. How will you make money for me if you’re unwell? I’ve just discovered you’re a treasure trove for making money.”

Nian Shutong grabbed one of Fu Yunhe’s hands, placed the pill in his palm, and then dashed off to receive the goods from the robot.

Meanwhile, Rubble had already received a small black box from the black robot—very small indeed.

Nian Shutong looked at the box; it was worth at least nine million Star Coins.

Now, she felt that her strawberries, at one hundred thousand Star Coins each, weren’t that expensive.

She received a memory chip from the robot, quickly transferring the contents related to the Three Character Classic, and soon would hand it over to Elder Hua.

When she returned to the kitchen, she saw that Fu Yunhe had moved from his original spot, his steps seeming firmer.

It seemed he had taken the pill.

As their friendship grew, the idea of friends always taking advantage of each other felt somewhat wrong, so Nian Shutong had chosen to give Fu Yunhe a pill.

This pill would help improve Fu Yunhe’s constitution; he still had to continue working for her, so it was surely a good deal.

Her thoughts were simple, but Fu Yunhe’s feelings were rather more complex.

Nian Shutong knew how to take care of him? Needing him to make money and needing him, they were pretty much the same thing.

It seemed the bond of close friends had grown stronger.
