Chapter 287: Chapter 63: Fully Embrace This Girl’s Coattails (3rd Update)
Here is the translation of the provided text:
(Here’s a 2500-word chapter for you, making three updates complete. The friend who said that Black and Shura are also the main female lead, come out and let’s chat.)
Clearly, his recent move had touched the interests of some people.
And that person, judging from the current situation, could only be buyer number 26.
It seemed that this auction item must contain something he was determined to acquire, just like I needed the Heart-locking Grass.
“Five million for the first time.”
Beishan Xinyue’s voice, carrying an unusual charm, announced.
Bai Guyue heard the number five million, her delicate face already covered with annoyance.
How should I negotiate?
“Five million for the second time.”
The dark gold masked man at seat 26 had already closed his eyes.
“Five million for the third time. Congratulations to buyer number 173 for winning this auction item. We also thank this buyer for supporting our charity auction.”
Beishan Xinyue’s gaze turned towards Mu Fan, confident in her knowledge of the distribution of every seat in the auction hall.
However, this time, Beishan Xinyue’s unmatched charm was completely ignored by a clueless young man, whose gaze was without any fluctuations, looking at her expressionlessly.
What an interesting little brother.
A heart of steel.
The alluring stare was splendidly ignored by the young man, unaware that Mu Fan’s mind was repeating one number at the moment.
“Five million, five million, five million…”
Mu Fan, whose mind had heated up when shouting the number, heard that at last, he was the one who secured the item.
His emotions surged beyond measure.
Heart-locking Grass obtained!
A successful first step towards crafting my mecha!
But only after seeing the text that floated up on his hand patch, confirming the successful transfer of funds and that the auction item would be moved backstage for him to take upon departure, did Mu Fan’s heart calm down.
Then it dawned on him how much he had just bid.
Five million!!
A full five million Star Coins!!
“Black…”
“I’m here.”
“Can you tell me how to earn five million?”
“Study mechanical design, and once you can successfully create War Armor Dragon Riders, you can take on related mecha modification jobs. Depending on your skill level, the income will vary. Or participate in the Blue Capital Star’s Mecha Fighting Competition, where the prize money is substantial.”
Black’s logical response left Mu Fan at a loss for words.
He simply couldn’t find any fault with such logical advice.
Meanwhile, Bai Guyue, seeing the price finalized, began searching the crowd for buyer 173.
Huh?
Why is it him?
The shy girl suddenly remembered the person she accidentally bumped into upon entering, wasn’t that buyer 173?
Thinking back to that moment, he seemed approachable.
In that case, I could pay for a few crucial medicinal plants, then make the medicine and use it to settle the account.
I would just need to get the medicine certified.
That should work, right?
The girl’s simple thoughts were now completely entangled.
The auction continued.
The uninteresting junk auction time was finally over, and the covert struggles had gone unnoticed.
With Beishan Xinyue’s enchantingly charming hosting on stage, the atmosphere of the venue became lively again.
But buyer number 5 in the first row was already gone.
“Yin Shuai, thank you. I will pay you back, but it might take some time.”
Mu Fan, who had lost interest in the art pieces being presented on stage again, dialed White Hair’s Sky Communication.
“No worries, it’s just a storm in a teacup. If you really save my life one day, you don’t even need to repay the money, haha.” White Hair on the other end was clearly in a good mood. Being owed a favor by the academy’s Original T-Rex felt really good.
Forty minutes later, when Mu Fan was numbly watching White Hair sweep through five items, each worth over 40 million, White Hair’s image in his heart was completely refreshed.
Could this guy really be planning to build his own spaceship?
Sky Banner Fish warship radar, a B-grade warship radar disassembled from the Federation military, missing key parts: 1 billion 200 million.
Smart Robot Nanometer Repairer, final bid 70 million.
The latest model civilian-grade Free Particle Collector, 47 million.
“`
…
These things that sounded unrelated to everyday life were all procured by White Hair in one go.
It’s really like a sweeping raid!
Compared to that, the five million I owe him really seems like a drizzle.
“Congratulations, Young Master Youshi, for acquiring the mysterious B-class Mecha—Sky Moon, from the Interstellar Mecha Association.”
“Thank you to all the buyers for attending. This auction of the Big Star Region at the Star Curtain Auction has now ended. Please proceed to the backstage area shortly for the formalities of accepting your auctioned items.”
Beishan Xinyue elegantly addressed the audience at this moment.
Some people who didn’t win any auctions started to leave, while Mu Fan stood up to approach.
“The transfer procedures have been sent to your backstage handheld device just now. You can just sign when you get there.”
“Sent where?”
“To a transfer safe, affiliated with the Blue Capital Sand Gold Bank. You can go there for the handover later, then transport it personally. The location of my personal carrier’s underground storage cannot be exposed for now.”
“Understood.”
Mu Fan walked along the corridor, with several other buyers proceeding nearby.
But he had barely walked far below the auction stage when he was caught up by a breathless young girl.
“Wait, wait.”
Mu Fan turned around.
Hm?
Isn’t this the girl who bumped into him when entering earlier?
Mu Fan had a good memory.
The girl’s peculiar vine hairband and her shy gaze were highly memorable.
“What’s up?”
“Oh, lor lor lor lor, why don’t I have such an experience of being approached by a beautiful girl!” Suddenly, a series of exclamations came from behind Mu Fan.
No need to guess, it was White Hair.
This shameless tone was even more unforgettable.
After he spoke, Mu Fan saw the girl in the white windbreaker blush, and then she mustered the courage to say to him, “Hello, would you be willing to resell some of the plants you just bought to me?”
Hearing this, Mu Fan shook his head without even thinking.
The Heart-locking Grass, how could he possibly sell it?
White Hair scratched his chin, looking at the two, thinking what a good opportunity this was to chat up a girl, and yet he let it go. Such a wooden head.
This sister, in his many years of experience traveling the interstellar, um, would score more than 94 points, mainly because she is too young, and some parts still needed growth.
For instance, regarding Senior Sister, he would gladly give a 100-point rating.
“I am sorry, but I really need them. I am a Medicinal Plant Master, an intermediate Medicinal Plant Master. If I had those medicinal plants, I am confident I could make a breakthrough to become a senior Medicinal Plant Master! I don’t have much money, but I can give you the medicine I make, how does that sound? You can just give me some of the plants.”
The girl didn’t want to give up and spoke excitedly.
After she spoke, Mu Fan, who had no concept of a “Medicinal Plant Master,” prepared to shake his head again.
But then White Hair, who had been casually wiping his saucy purple eye shadow with his fingertips, suddenly stiffened his finger.
Mu Fan then heard Black’s urgent voice in his ear.
“Wait, Medicinal Plant Master? An intermediate one at that?! Ask her what purity she can achieve with the purification of the Heart-locking Grass’s Inner Wall Heart Liquid. If it’s over 67%, then you’ve struck gold!”
Bai Guyue looked nervously at the young man in front of her. His face looked so cold; was he about to reject her completely?
That one second felt longer than an hour as the girl waited with hopeful trepidation for the verdict from across.
“You’re an intermediate Medicinal Plant Master?”
“Yes, certified by the Blue Capital Star Biological and Pharmaceutical Association.”
The shy girl nodded repeatedly.
“Then tell me, to what standard can you purify the Inner Wall Heart Liquid of the Heart-locking Grass?”
The girl’s face showed surprise, then she said excitedly, “You are a Medicinal Plant Master too? The common use of Heart-locking Grass is for calming the spirit, and purification of the Inner Wall Heart Liquid is only known in a very small area among Medicinal Plant Masters. I need to purify it to make an advanced Medicinal Plant Master’s advancement medicine—the brain area repair agent.”
“My purity is around 75%, if…”
“Great!”
“Deal!”
Mu Fan, who had let out a single word, looked bemusedly at the excited White Hair behind him; the longing in his eyes was almost tearful.
What are you agreeing to, it’s incomprehensible!
Mu Fan had responded directly after hearing Black’s urgent voice saying, “Quickly agree to her,” because Black was now rapidly saying, “With a middle-ranked… no, a high-ranked Medicinal Plant Master, your War Armor could likely progress by a third!”
But the girl continued in a quiet voice like a mosquito, which completely unsettled Black.
“…if my grandpa does the purification, it would probably reach over 95%.”
“Mu Fan, hold on tight to this girl’s coattails!”
