The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead
Chapter 337 - 335: Following Out the Door

Chapter 337: Chapter 335: Following Out the Door

Four people, after getting their rice, stayed inside.

It was unbearably hot, so Nian Shutong opened up a few places on the tent that could be opened.

At least to let some air circulate.

They settled down in such a fiery environment.

They would stay like this for a week.

During this week, the nights were slightly cooler but still stiflingly hot, with only the absence of the sun’s scorching rays.

When the day arrived, they realized the truth in what the guiding girl had said.

It turned out that their first day was indeed the coolest day.

Because after that, each day was sweltering, even inside the tent, there was no respite from the baking heat.

Because above their heads was just the simplest fabric, not sun-proof material.

Under the tent with countless tiny holes, the sunlight poured in from above, scorching the people like seedlings in the early stages of drought; they had no energy left, even eating less food.

Ha Ha could only eat a box of rice now.

Moreover, water was genuinely scarce here; most of it was brought back by the Star Thieves who went out.

They stored the water they brought back in a space button, and each morning, they distributed it to every household.

Everyone was reluctant to use it, only using a piece of cloth to dab a bit to wipe their faces, even sharing the same cloth within a family.

What was left was barely enough to ensure they had enough to drink.

In a week, Fu Yunhe found out a lot of things, and Nian Shutong also learned quite a bit.

Combining their information, they knew that this planet was called Desert Star.

It was truly a planet made of desert, with not a single source of water.

The entire Desert Star was purchased by the girl with the Heavy Sword, also known as Lin Mu, who set up camp here.

Besides Lin Mu, the others were people who had offended the powerful yet did not wish to lose their freedom to work in mines or go to the trash star,

They slowly gathered together to form the poorest group of Star Thieves.

Their main robbery targets were those unscrupulous and wealthy elites. Although they couldn’t win against them, they always managed to cause trouble for the sake of resources and to seek revenge.

As for those who were rescued, some were sent away by Lin Mu, while others chose to stay.

Those who stayed would do the most basic handcrafts here, and when Lin Mu went out again, she would help them sell their crafts, which counted as some income.

After a week, Lin Mu came by.

Her expression was still blank, her Heavy Sword strapped to her back, her gaze fixing on Nian Shutong.

She had an intuition that this person was in charge.

"We’re heading out now, are you staying or leaving?" she asked.

"Aren’t you afraid we’ll report you?" replied Nian Shutong.

She was genuinely curious; during the week here, she knew the people were living miserably but still striving to stay alive.

But could those who left really resist the temptation of the bounty?

Lin Mu just smiled without saying a word.

It seemed she had her own ways of dealing with it.

Nian Shutong had already stood up and asked Lin Mu, "Can we come out with you? We haven’t decided whether to leave or not, we just simply want to follow along."

She wanted to see how this group of Star Thieves managed to return empty-handed nine times out of ten.

"Okay."

Lin Mu didn’t say much, just turned around and as she walked out, she said, "Leaving at eight, don’t be late."

Eight o’clock.

Nian Shutong checked the time; it was now seven forty-eight, they still had time.

She turned around and said to everyone, "Let’s get moving, we can get out of here now."

Leave this place?

Ha Ha finally perked up a bit; he didn’t even want to speak these past few days; the heat was downright killing.

Even a wolf would get tired of sticking out its tongue.

Fu Yunhe was the same, with the buttons on his clothing undone down to the third and he hadn’t dared with the fourth.

Dou Dou was dressed even cooler, in a tank top and shorts, but in such an outfit, he couldn’t dare step outside of the tent.

Dou Dou summed it up. The life he had before was truly like paradise.

He had never known that people in other places lived like this.

It really was too hard.

Even Little Pink Pig had secretly complained to Nian Shutong a few times. It felt that if it stayed any longer, it’d turn into a roast piglet.

Four people and a pig walked out of the tent; Dou Dou changed into long sleeves and after a few minutes, finally arrived in front of the shabby Starship.

People were boarding the Starship, each holding large cloth bags, filled with handcrafts made by the people of Desert Star.

Outside the Starship, many were seeing off others, and once everyone who needed to go had boarded, the cabin door closed, and the Starship took off.

Nian Shutong had no idea what everyone’s goal was and just followed casually.

When the Starship first stopped, several people took their handcrafts and got off the Starship.

When they came back, they said to Lin Mu.

"Eldest, sold for one thousand and eight Star Coins, and it was cheap again."

"Mhm, we’ll make up for it a little when we return."

"Got it, but we’re running low on cash too."

Lin Mu knew this all too well and simply said, "Didn’t we just leave? There will be some."

The Starship continued on its way, stopping a second time because they needed to collect water, which was one of the main reasons for going out.

Desert Star had no water, and when it was nearly depleted, they would go out to collect water and bring it back, ensuring that everyone didn’t run out.

The Starship proceeded for several more hours and finally stopped.

They were now outside a small transfer station, a few minutes’ walk away.

Occasionally, small flying devices could be seen buzzing around.

At this moment, Xiao Si, beside Lin Mu, was operating something on his Light Computer and began to report the information he had gathered.

"Eldest, the Chi Family’s subordinates are coming here to buy ore; there probably isn’t much to gain."

"No worry, they can’t be poorer than us," replied Lin Mu.

Her words made Xiao Si nod in agreement beside her. "You’re right; they definitely can’t be poorer than us."

On the other side, Fu Yunhe watched Xiao Si’s operations. Was this kid simply naive or unaware?

With his skills on the Star Network’s Dark Web, doing any small task could earn some money.

In Fu Yunhe’s opinion, Xiao Si’s level was probably ranking around ten to twenty, around the fifteenth place, already better than most.

At this moment, the Starship was lying dormant.

By moving a short distance away, even if the Chi Family called for backup, they wouldn’t be able to arrive so quickly.

To Nian Shutong, this seemed rather exciting; there might be a fight to join in.

Let alone that it was the old rival, the Chi Family.
