Chapter 347: Chapter 345 Peach-Flavored Lollipop

"Don’t—throw!"

The manager was so nervous his throat almost broke, wishing he had eight hands, but he managed to catch the Crystal Stone in the end.

The moment he touched it, the manager felt it was a top-grade Crystal Stone.

He had contacted High-Grade Crystal Stones before, not less than a thousand, but none compared to the one in his hand.

The manager held the Crystal Stone gently in both hands and placed it on the counter, taking out a device from his Space Button to test it.

After the test, the manager’s attitude became even more sincere, and he asked Nian Shutong, "How much energy would you like to buy?"

"Just this."

Nian Shutong pointed at the top-grade Crystal Stone.

"Do you mean you want to use this top-grade Crystal Stone to buy all the energy?"

"Yes, please hurry, I have other things to do."

Nian Shutong’s urging was taken very seriously, and the manager personally started calculating the energy for her.

"Energy is calculated by time unit, the smallest being twenty-four hours, priced at ten Low-Grade Crystal Stones."

"The maximum is one thousand hours, priced at one thousand Mid-Grade Crystal Stones or one hundred High-Grade Crystal Stones."

"This piece of top-grade Crystal Stone, by comparison, can be exchanged for one thousand High-Grade Crystal Stones, that is, ten sets of one thousand hours, would you like to exchange all of it?"

After calculating, Nian Shutong decisively said, "Exchange all of it, quickly."

"Right away! Please wait a moment, we will count it for you now."

The manager made the arrangements immediately and opened the storeroom to count the energy boxes.

Lin Mu, who had just finished a candy, came over and asked, "Do you need this much?"

"Better safe than sorry."

In fact, Nian Shutong thought more about it, as Lin Mu was going with a Starship, and later she would let Rubble check if it could be fixed; if so, she would make more trips outside.

A journey of ten thousand hours was just over four hundred days, even for the kind of small Starship that Lin Mu had.

If it were the Super Starship she used to travel on, it wouldn’t even last twenty-four hours; probably an hour would deplete it.

So this thing was just an estimate.

The manager was very efficient and quickly prepared the energy, even giving a bonus small Space Button.

Nian Shutong checked it out, there was no problem, and there were no other spiritual powers on the Space Button.

She thanked the manager and prepared to leave.

The manager did not dare to ask more, but humbly said from behind, "If you need to trade again, you are welcome to come back."

"No need, your service here hasn’t been very good, I probably won’t come again."

Nian Shutong had already reached the door, her eyes drifting toward the staff, and she said regretfully, "If it weren’t for the sudden lack of energy nearby, and yours being the only shop around, I’m afraid..."

The manager, watching Nian Shutong and her group speechless, walked out of the shop.

His face, previously smiling, turned fierce as he turned around.

"Hmph! Someone must have forgotten, our store’s first rule is never to judge customers by their appearance!"

The manager didn’t ask anything else; instead, he checked the surveillance.

After he finished checking, he sighed, "Indeed, those are people we can’t afford to provoke."

Because at that moment, their surveillance showed that all footage of Nian Shutong and her group had been replaced with stick figures, and even though there was sound, the tones had all been changed.

But the arrogance and words of the staff members, and the course of events, were recorded down to the letter.

The staff members waiting outside thought that since Nian Shutong hadn’t mentioned being slighted at the beginning, she probably wouldn’t bring it up again.

The old staff member who had caused trouble felt lucky to have escaped blame.

But who would have thought that just as she was about to step out the door, Nian Shutong would bring it up.

The mood of the troublemaking staff member was like riding a rollercoaster, full of ups and downs, and eventually, the rollercoaster broke down halfway, the irreparable kind.

She was done for.

After leaving the shop, Nian Shutong didn’t feel she had done anything wrong at all; those who do wrong should be punished.

"Let’s go, we’ll go back first and take another trip out when we have the chance."

Nian Shutong walked ahead, with Lin Mu following behind, feeling even more conflicted.

Top-grade Crystal Stones, she had only heard of them in legends and had never seen one.

But Nian Shutong had easily taken one out; what kind of person was she?

To Lin Mu, Nian Shutong was full of secrets.

She didn’t want to uncover her secrets but felt drawn to her attitude toward life.

The two of them smoothly left the planet, driving the Shadowless, and returned to the Starship.

Nian Shutong gave Lin Mu a 1000-time-point energy box, which Lin Mu took to the cockpit and gave to Xiao Si.

"What...what is this?"

Xiao Si was uncertain, feeling it resembled the usual energy boxes, but were they ever this large?

"1000 points."

Lin Mu threw the box to Xiao Si, unconcerned with his shocked expression, and returned to her cabin door.

Xiao Si at the cockpit, holding a 1000-point energy box, placed it twice before finally fitting it into the energy slot and starting the Starship.

It seemed the Starship sped up a bit, clearly because the previous energy points were too low.

The Starship traveled according to the route and positioning given by Fu Yunhe.

At the cabin door, Nian Shutong looked at Lin Mu with her eyes closed and asked, "How much is this Starship worth?"

Lin Mu opened her eyes, looked around her Starship, shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "It’s not worth much, I’ll give it to you."

"That won’t do, I can’t accept a reward without merits; you are employed by me, not servants, I have no right to accept your property for free."

Nian Shutong’s words made it clear how earnest she was, impossible to refuse.

Lin Mu thought for a moment and then said, "How about you trade it for the candy from today?"

Nian Shutong looked puzzledly at Lin Mu, and smiling, asked, "Are you serious?"

She had thought Lin Mu would ask for a top-grade Crystal Stone.

"Really, I liked that flavor," Lin Mu said longingly, curiously asking, "What flavor was it?"

"Peach flavor, when you get to Blue Star, you’ll see peach trees and eat fresh peaches."

Nian Shutong’s words filled Lin Mu with longing; in her imagination, Blue Star was filled with the scent of peaches.

"Here you go."

Lin Mu looked at the candy laying quietly in Nian Shutong’s palm.

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome, I’m planning to trade a lifetime’s worth of candy for this Starship, do we have a deal?"

A lifetime of candy?

Lin Mu unwrapped the candy and put it in her mouth, it was indeed that flavor.

"Deal."
