Chapter 690: Chapter 506 “Branch” Going So Wild?!_1 Chapter 690: Chapter 506 “Branch” Going So Wild?!_1 “This…”

Upon seeing Colin nod again, Shana knew he was telling the truth, just like last time…

Back then, she had carried over 400 “massive” points in her pocket and wanted to buy back the Bone Spur Tool made from the Saint’s Skeleton from him.

Thinking of this, Shana couldn’t help but feel secretly relieved that she hadn’t taken out her points, or she would have been terribly embarrassed.

Afterward, she didn’t retrieve her belongings, and instead, she gave away a Shield Emblem…

She was also shocked by Colin’s tendency to spend thousands of points at a time.

Of course, she also realized that the missions on her side seemed to be a bit lower than others’.

The reason for this situation was not very clear at the moment.

However, Shana had believed that a few thousand points were already an unimaginable amount in the past.

But the man before her had once again shattered her beliefs…

“If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, we can actually discuss it further…”

Colin, looking at Shana’s “expressionless” face, felt uncertain, but in this “standoff,” he suddenly remembered that every time he returned recently, she would give him various powerful Powerful Gold Imprint Personal BUFFs.

Then he thought about what he had done…

Originally with a total credit limit of eighty thousand points, only a small fraction of twenty-five thousand was given, and in the end, not only was nothing added, but five thousand were deducted.

Hmm, seems rather unsportsmanlike, doesn’t it?

He had just finished saying this when he saw Shana fall silent for a few seconds and then faintly nod her head:

“It is already a lot. I… I can’t even imagine that I could have so many points…”

‘Ah… isn’t this really mockery?’

Colin silently ‘hissed’ in his heart, but before he could say anything, a line of information popped up on his retinal screen.

[Special event: ‘Have you completed the event of giving 20,000 points to ‘The Light Chaser’?]

“Remarks”: There will be a certain amount of points deducted as a transaction fee.

…

‘The branch’s mission timing is quite prompt this time, but, are there really transaction fees?’

‘It seems that the exact proportion hasn’t been mentioned, but it should not be too high…’

Colin muttered to himself. It was a pity that employees couldn’t perform point transactions privately; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t let the branch take advantage of free profits.

Then, looking at Shana again to confirm, he proceeded with the transaction and transferred the corresponding points.

At this moment, even though Shana did not pursue wealth too aggressively, she couldn’t help but glance at her pocket.

A number she had never dared to imagine lay there quietly.

While feeling overwhelmed by the enormous amount of points, she also felt a pang of regret for the transaction fee that had just been deducted.

“Hiss, two thousand points gone…”

Shana clenched her fists so subtly it was almost imperceptible and puffed her cheeks, as though losing two thousand points all at once.

This thing called a “transaction fee” was even more than what she had received from facing an Ancient God!

“What two thousand points?”

Colin, after overhearing her soft grumbling, asked curiously.

“Transaction fee?”

“A transaction fee of two thousand? That’s like ten percent!”

Colin was astonished; even the vampire banks wouldn’t charge more than five percent for withdrawals or transfers, and yet the fees here were so high?

But after thinking about it,

Perhaps cross-company transactions presented some difficulties, so charging a fee was somewhat understandable.

‘Later, I’ll ask ‘Lady Rabbit’ about it; are the transaction fees really this expensive here? I’ll see if there’s a way in the future to give Miss Shana her share directly and avoid the middleman’s cut…’

Colin’s thoughts flickered briefly.

Afterwards, seeing Shana’s expression of being slightly pained and a bit annoyed by the two thousand points loss, he could not help finding it somewhat amusing.

“Perhaps there’s some behind-the-scenes trouble causing this waste, hmm, the problem isn’t huge, I’ll make up for this transaction fee next time…”

Colin said with a smile, sensing from Shana’s expression that…

Her words just now did not seem to be mockery, but maybe.. joking?

After pondering, Colin felt that this was likely and reasonable.

Of course, during this brief moment, he also considered another possibility, which was that all of Shana’s expressions and words were genuine.

She truly thought over twenty thousand points was an enormous sum, which explained her shocked emotions.

But… how could that be possible?

Colin dismissed this erroneous notion right away.

After all, based on past situations, even without lifting a finger, she could easily get over ten thousand points. If she personally took action, the price would probably be in the six digits.

Under such circumstances, how could she find twenty thousand points satisfying?

However, speaking of which…

Miss Shana’s tasks, which could be deemed as profiting from others’ crises, indeed earned her quite a lot, though somewhat unscrupulous.

It felt like she might get her comeuppance one day.

Colin thought that he should find a time to talk to her about this.

While the company generally assigns tasks, employees do have a certain right to negotiate.

Then, upon hearing Colin offer to make up for the transaction fee, Shana immediately shook her head: “No, there’s no need, this is already sufficient, hmm…”

Very, very sufficient.

Looking at the sum in her pocket, Shana for a moment did not know how to spend it.

It certainly couldn’t all go towards dark bread.

But it could be a safety net.

Now, with Mr. Colin’s vast fields, as long as they were managed well—as Colin had said—they could sustain everyone. In the future, if there is a chance to prepare comestibles like a granary and others, they might even be able to stockpile next year’s food and ultimately achieve self-sufficiency—
