Chapter 17: Because I’m Not Resigned

This sentence clearly indicated that she mistakenly believed Shen Xing had tricked her into coming out just to make her compensate for the previous loss.

And now, all she wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible.

Once she went back and deleted the group chat, even if the other party wanted to find trouble with her again, it would be unlikely.

But Shen Xing had a faint smile on his face.

“Do you think I really care about that little loss?” He flipped his palm, and the Yuan Qi Pill appeared directly in his hand. “Or do you think I was lying when I said I was selling Yuan Qi Pills?”

“. . .”

Xiaoling stared intently at the Yuan Qi Pill.

Gulp.

Her throat moved involuntarily.

The reason she was willing to come over within an hour, besides the fact that Shen Xing’s price was truly tempting, was that the Yuan Qi Pill was equally enticing.

Although it was only one level higher than the Basic Yuan Liquid as a basic cultivation resource, it was not something easily seen by ordinary students outside the Martial Path Academy.

At least, this was the first time Xiaoling had seen the real thing.

“If you really want to sell.” She carefully examined Shen Xing, gritted her teeth, “150,000, that’s all I can come up with right now. If it’s not enough, I can owe you the rest!”

The Yuan Qi content of one Yuan Qi Pill was equivalent to fifteen Basic Yuan Liquids, but for students outside the Martial Path Academy, its actual value was more than fifteen Basic Yuan Liquids.

Absorbing a large amount of Yuan Qi at once was helpful for breakthroughs.

As long as she could break through Skin Tempering, just the qualification to purchase one official-priced Basic Yuan Liquid per week would be enough for her to live comfortably on the Academy Home Planet for these few years.

Of course, her ambition was not limited to this.

Shen Xing seemed to see the desire in her eyes, but he just shook his head and said lightly, “Too small.”

“What’s too small?” Xiaoling looked at Shen Xing shaking his head, and her heart couldn’t help but tighten. She subconsciously asked.

“Your perspective is too small.” Shen Xing flipped his hand, and the Yuan Qi Pill was directly put away by him. “If it were just to sell one Yuan Qi Pill, I wouldn’t waste my time coming here personally.”

“You” The girl bit her lip, raised her head, and looked at Shen Xing intently. A hint of an unbelievable guess flashed in her eyes. “What exactly do you mean?”

“You’ve already guessed it, haven’t you?” Shen Xing smiled slightly, then turned around and started walking slowly.

This action made the girl freeze on the spot.

But immediately, she hurried to catch up.

“Student, Senior, no, Mr, you don’t just have one Yuan Qi Pill to sell, right?”

“Yuan Qi Pills are not easy to sell.” Shen Xing said unhurriedly, but his feet didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.

“That’s right, they can be made into Basic Yuan Liquid, and the price will only be higher, not lower!” Xiaoling’s eyes were somewhat excited.

“Is that so?”

“Of course, you tricked, no, asked me to come out, just to find an agent to sell them, right? I know that powerful martial artists like you don’t have that much time to deal with these trivial matters.” Xiaoling’s reaction was indeed very quick. Just by looking at Shen Xing’s words, his demeanor, and that Yuan Qi Pill, she already had a vague guess.

And this guess made her heart almost jump out of her chest with excitement.

Because she had once seen a senior who was also an “agent” for a student of a Martial Path Academy.

That senior’s status, prestige, and the wealth he could control in that area far exceeded her imagination!

And, she also understood.

◈◈◈

Most students of the Martial Path Academy, even if they wanted to sell resources, couldn’t sell for too long. If they didn’t have enough resources, they would easily be eliminated. Such students would be reluctant to give up profits to agents and would rather sell them themselves.

Therefore, only those who are powerful martial arts students have the qualifications to cultivate long-term agents.

At least they are powerful enough to have no need for ordinary resources!

Now, as she looked at Shen Fei, his calm smile, his composed attitude, and the fact that he had completely controlled the initiative from the beginning of their meeting, leaving her no room to breathe. . .

The more she looked, the more he resembled that kind of powerful martial arts student!

And whether he was or not, as long as he could provide resources, that was enough!

“So?” But Shen Xing still said unhurriedly.

“Please stop teasing me.”

Xiaoling suddenly jumped and directly blocked Shen Xing’s path, even disregarding the possibility of being run into by Shen Xing.

However, Shen Xing still stopped in his tracks.

Looking at the girl in front of him, whose eyes were already somewhat red.

The lie detection software was still running. At this moment, her emotions were clearly written on the pupil projection program: 【Sadness, excitement, nervousness】【Truthfulness: 84.5%】.

However, before this moment, this girl’s words and expressions were still mostly pretense.

He could vaguely see it.

This was a person with desire, endurance, willpower, and the courage to take practical action.

Her potential was much higher than he had expected.

This made Shen Xing want to try to cultivate her.

But precisely because of this, after confirming that the other party was hooked, he had to “act” a little. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to find her. Being too proactive wouldn’t help establish authority.

However, it seemed that he had overdone it a bit?

“Why do you want to make money so badly?” Shen Xing looked at her, indeed a little puzzled.

Everyone wants to make money, but this girl’s desire seemed to far exceed that of ordinary people.

“Of course, it’s because I’m not resigned!” Xiaoling seemed to have completely stopped pretending. Her originally cute face, which should have been innocent, was filled with clearly visible hatred. “You’ve seen what I look like, can you imagine? I’m already seventeen years old! My parents, just because they heard somewhere that petite girls are very popular among wealthy families, ‘cultivated’ me like this, specifically made gene adjustments, just to sell me for a good price. I even escaped to the Academy Home Planet by myself!”

“. . .” Shen Xing was momentarily speechless.

Genetic modification was explicitly prohibited in the Human Federation, but even if it weren’t prohibited, very few people would do it, because this kind of adjustment had a certain probability of affecting martial arts talent.

Therefore, the Academy Home Planet was not filled with all kinds of “genetically modified people.”

But it was clear.

No era would be without scum and degenerates. After all, as long as the base number was large enough, all kinds of things that violate common sense, morality, and even ethical cognition could happen.

The larger the population, the more developed the social productivity, the more this is the case.

Therefore, he had heard of things like escaping to the Academy Home Planet before. After all, as the Federation’s new generation training base, any human child of the right age could enroll for free, and even those children rescued from interstellar human trafficking would also be sent here.

Shen Xing could only be glad that his parents in this life, although they seemed a bit unreliable, were at least normal.
