Chapter 212: Chapter 211: She Shouldn’t Mock Others

Gu Xiao had heard these words too many times from childhood to adulthood, and did not think much of it. He laughed and said, "I resemble my mom more, and both my parents’ fertility scores didn’t even pass 30, so I didn’t inherit my dad’s excellent genes."

Qu Tong understood what he meant, which explained why the Interstellar placed such importance on fertility scores.

For children cultivated in intelligence test tubes, Gu Xiao’s situation was quite common.

After thanking Gu Xiao, Qu Tong then went to the military hospital to buy medicine.

While on the way to purchase medicine, Qu Tong received a notification from the academic system that the monthly exam was scheduled for next Monday.

She had already prepared her pharmaceutical concoctions, and after a moment’s thought, she contacted Rong Yueqing through Rong Chengjue.

Rong Yueqing was busy, so it was Rong Chengjue who came alone.

Qu Tong had chosen Drunken Star River, a common private room on the second floor.

Rong Chengjue sat down opposite Qu Tong, ordered a cup of coffee, and in a languid and casual tone, asked, "Have you made up your mind? Are you going to come back with me to the Kasa Empire?"

"Not going." Qu Tong replied without hesitation.

"Oh." Rong Chengjue’s expression didn’t change much. "Then is this to redeem the favor I owe you from last time?"

"Yes."

Rong Chengjue slightly lifted his chin, signalling Qu Tong to speak.

After the waiter brought in the coffee and fruit and left, Qu Tong finally said, "I want to buy some Void Crystal Stones from you."

Rong Chengjue watched the latte art in his coffee cup with his deep and serene eyes, hummed indifferently, his emotions indecipherable.

"She sure tells you everything."

Qu Tong couldn’t figure out Rong Chengjue’s moody disposition, whether he was willing or not.

After all, it was just a Purification Plant, and even the most valuable Purification Herb on the market wouldn’t exceed two hundred thousand.

Just as Qu Tong prepared for Rong Chengjue’s possible refusal, he spoke.

"How many do you want to buy?"

Qu Tong tentatively asked, "How many do you have? I’ll buy them all?"

If Rong Chengjue didn’t agree, even buying one or two pieces would be fine, considering they were rare mineral materials.

Rong Chengjue glanced at Qu Tong with a light chuckle.

Rong Chengjue’s voice was actually quite pleasant, like a refreshing mountain spring hitting the rocks, but she felt that his voice carried an additional layer of coldness.

Unlike Si Yuting’s inherent chill.

If Si Yuting was like a snow lotus on the top of a high mountain, unapproachable, then Rong Chengjue seemed more like a sword imbued with cold ice, his heart was cold, and his blood was too.

This was probably related to the different environments they grew up in.

Qu Tong finished a glass of orange juice, and Rong Chengjue then placed a gold-wired jade bracelet in front of her.

Qu Tong picked it up from the table curiously, and sure enough, it was a Space Button, and the space inside was not small.

"Thirty million," Rong Chengjue said.

"Thank you."

Qu Tong activated her light computer to transfer the payment to Rong Chengjue, but he opened the add friend interface first. Qu Tong’s light computer made contact with Rong Chengjue’s, and then she directly transferred the money through the contact list.

Rong Chengjue didn’t even glance at it and stood up to leave the private room.

Qu Tong went to transfer the Void Crystal Stones to her own Space Button when she realized she had forgotten to give his back to him.

She stood up and went to the door, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Qu Tong sent a message through her light computer.

Rong Chengjue only replied with "[No need.]"

Looking at the bracelet in her hand, Qu Tong was astonished. Are rich people always so capricious?

She found a jewelry box to put it in, and stored it in the Space Button.

Rong Chengjue had given her eight pieces of Void Crystal Stones, roughly the same size as those Rong Yueqing had given her before.

So the thirty million was indeed a profit for herself.

She decided to be nicer when talking to him in the future.

As soon as she returned to school, she was dragged by Fei Wenxing to gossip via a special communication link.

Fei Wenxing was live streaming the entire catfight between Qu Wanwan and Ouyang Linna in the group chat while chatting with everyone.

Fei Wenxing: "Guess what, Lan Xingye, that beast, and Ouyang Linna came out of the hotel and were caught by Qu Wanwan, hahaha!"

Song Ke: "Isn’t this Lan Xingye’s standard procedure?"

Cheng Yao: "You seem quite happy?"

Fei Wenxing: "I’ve accepted it a long time ago, don’t interrupt me, I’m watching the drama, here comes the highlight. Ouyang Linna used her spiritual power to push Qu Wanwan away, and Qu Wanwan is even pregnant."

Riyue Yuqing: "Is your circle always this chaotic?"

Song Ke: "It is a bit, but it has nothing to do with me haha."

Cheng Yao: "Beauty Princess, you should be careful, never go for such scumbags."

Riyue Yuqing: "I wouldn’t know about that, the princesses in our Royal Family are bound to arranged marriages, it’s not for me to decide."

Cheng Yao: "Ah? Then you’re quite pitiful."

He Zhou: "I think so too, our Empire is better."

Song Ke: "I agree."

Fei Wenxing: "Beauty Princess, don’t be sad. Let’s watch the live stream together and be happy."

Fei Wenxing forcefully steered the topic back.

The group chat heated up with intense discussion once again.

Craving gossip is human nature, but Qu Tong couldn’t care less this time, she was fed up with this kind of jealousy over men.

She used to think Qu Wanwan was quite adept at snatching men, rather level-headed, and focused on making money.

Perhaps the farm’s bankruptcy had affected her, and now she’s become like a love-struck fool, determined to cling to the high branch that is Lan Xingye.

If she dared to kick Lan Xingye to the curb or seized the opportunity to demand some benefits, Qu Tong would actually have some respect for her.

What was the use of causing a scene with Ouyang Linna? It would only devalue herself and make the scumbag think he’s all that impressive.

Qu Tong went on to concoct more potions, and by the time she was done, the group had finished feasting on the gossip.

In the end, the situation alarmed the school authorities, who sent instructors to control the scene.

Lan Xingye, the person involved, finally pacified Ouyang Linna, took Qu Wanwan away, and told her not to make a scene.

Qu Tong had been studying hard for the exams these past few days, staying at school over the weekend instead of going back to Yuelan Bay.

Theoretical knowledge was a breeze for her, but she truly lacked a tiny bit of talent when it came to pharmaceuticals.

The last time she went back, she had even asked Old Yuan for advice, but he specialized in spiritual potions and knew how to concoct high-grade nutrient solutions, however, he had never consumed or concocted low-grade ones.

After being sick from her own concocted nutrient solution once again, Qu Tong rinsed her mouth with water and internally admitted her mistake.

She shouldn’t have ridiculed, alongside Wen You, that Cheng Feng’s family’s potions were so bad even dogs wouldn’t touch them—her own skills were on the same level.

Ew! It tasted awful!

Since she couldn’t cheat using special abilities for nutrient solutions, what should she do?

She wondered if securing first place in all theoretical subjects but being at the bottom in practical exams, plus getting first place in the midterms, would allow her to achieve the first place overall?

Time flew by, and in two days, she breezed through all the theoretical exams.

Xu An also sent her a message, saying they were going out for practical exams the next day, which with the time spent on the spaceship, would last a week.

Qu Tong stuffed all of her prepared potions and a portion of Void Crystal Stones into a small Space Button, handed it to Xu An, and instructed, "Open it when you get there."

She said this purely for convenience, to avoid any refusal back and forth.

The practical exam for the Pharmaceutical Department only needed half a day to concoct a low-grade nutrient solution.

The nutrient solution concocted by Qu Tong was about as bad as the ones from Cheng Feng’s family. It passed the machine testing, but made the instructor roll his eyes during the tasting part, leading to her score being halved.
