The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 487: Play with a Bomb

Shutong’s expression remained calm as she questioned the scholar, "You all have to give something in return, right?"

"Of course, we are willing to pay a certain amount of Star Coins, as long as you are willing to relinquish the mining rights."

"Ha, Star Coins?"

Shutong scoffed incredulously, "Are you serious? Buying Crystal Stones with Star Coins?"

With a slightly mocking tone, Shutong continued, making the scholar’s face lose composure as he said, "Humans should not be too greedy; stop while you’re ahead, or you’ll end up losing everything."

Her threatening words drove Shutong to a hint of madness.

At this point, she had already stood up, her emotions somewhat agitated.

"The person across from me putting on another face, how can you shamelessly say you want to buy Crystal Stones with Star Coins? In the interstellar world, it is well known that Crystal Stones can only be traded with contribution points. You are not sincere at all."

"I, as a person, don’t have many merits. but what I can’t have, neither can anyone else."

Shutong had already walked to the entrance of the mine and, as she passed by Fu Yunhe, extended her arm.

Fu Yunhe cooperatively took out a small artillery shell and placed it in Shutong’s palm.

At the moment, this shell had been activated by Shutong, ticking continuously; it could explode the mine with just a release of her hand.

"What are you doing?"

"You’re insane!"

"Put it down!"

"Let’s talk this through properly."

Several voices emerged one after the other, and the scholar also nervously took several steps forward.

Shutong squatted down, her hand about ten centimeters above the ground, her lips curling into a smile that bore traces of madness: "Don’t come any closer, my hand might shake."

Fu Yunhe, already prepared, stood at the front of the mine’s entrance with Dou Dou, ensuring no one had the opportunity to take him or Dou Dou hostage.

"What exactly do you want?"

The scholar spoke up again.

Shutong, with feigned innocence, responded, "You really are interesting. It’s my own mine, yet you insist I relinquish the mining rights. I said we could negotiate, but you try to fool me with Star Coins."

"Are you fucking playing the white wolf with me here?"

"Have some decency, won’t you? Oh right, you don’t need something decorative like a face."

In her current state, Shutong seemed like someone backed into a corner and ready to drag everyone down with her in her madness.

Unable to hold back any longer, someone from behind shouted at the scholar, "Enough, Chi Family! If you don’t want it, the rest of us can manage to gather the money."

After shouting, the man looked around to gather support, but no one echoed; the Chi Family was not easy to mess with.

The scholar merely glanced at the man who shouted and remembered who he was, then turned back to continue speaking with Shutong.

"Alright, we’ll trade with contribution points then, how would you like to proceed?"

Shutong, not entirely understanding this, listened as Fu Yunhe, standing behind her, softly began to explain, "Contribution points can’t be transferred, but there are some informal ways to handle it, though they’re not very safe."

I see.

Outside observers could only see two people talking in low voices, unaware of what they were discussing.

When the two raised their heads again, Shutong had changed her mind.

"Whoever it was, I don’t want contribution points anymore, just give me money."

Shutong’s sudden shift infuriated the scholar even more.

"What do you really want?"

Shutong’s hand, now closer to the ground, asked, "I want to ask the same, what do you really want? It’s my own stuff, I’ll sell it however I want!"

Her assertive words left the scholar speechless.

It’s best if things can end peacefully.

Money is just a number for the Chi Family.

"We offer ten million Star Coins, can you leave?"

The scholar made an offer, causing some people behind him to complain involuntarily: the Chi Family really has lost their style.

Ten million Star Coins is truly a pitiful amount, it can’t even buy ten Crystal Stones.

Nian Shutong didn’t respond to the scholar; her hand moved away from the ground, lifted up, and pointed towards the entrance of the mine.

"You’ve never seen Crystal Stones being blown up, have you? Today you’re in for a treat, let’s watch together."

Nian Shutong didn’t waste a second, the bomb had already left her palm and was flying towards the tunnel.

"Stop!"

"How much did you say?"

The scholar had already leaped forward, but in that second, Fu Yunhe behind Nian Shutong caught the bomb in his hand, and he, along with Dou Dou, retreated to the inside of the mine entrance, while Nian Shutong tightly blocked the entrance.

"Please bother yourself to go back, I’m not very welcoming of you coming over here, your scum reek is too strong."

Every word Nian Shutong spoke contained a bit of personal attack. The scholar looked at the two new bombs in Nian Shutong’s hand, the child also had one in his hand, and the man had two as well.

Five bombs were more than enough to turn all the Crystal Stones to dust.

"Alright, I will back off. Let’s talk again."

The scholar turned around, it seemed the Chi Family’s reputation wasn’t that useful.

In his previous negotiations, just mentioning the Chi Family would weaken many people’s resolve by half, and then all he had to do was promise benefits higher than what the others expected, and he could quickly come to an agreement.

The scholar naturally checked the price Nian Shutong paid for the mine, which was recently eleven thousand and one Star Coins. The ten million he offered was really quite generous.

When the scholar retreated to his place, Nian Shutong wasn’t in any rush and waited for the scholar to make an offer.

"One billion Star Coins."

"No."

Accompanied by Nian Shutong’s rejection, she took out another bomb and found a rope, hanging it around her neck, stringing the first bomb onto it.

"Continue, I’m just accessorizing."

Was the scholar’s eyes definitely blazing with anger?

Accessorizing? It’s the first time someone’s seeing bombs as necklace decorations.

Though Nian Shutong’s threat was very blunt, it was definitely effective.

The scholar continued to make an offer.

"Two billion Star Coins."

Nian Shutong didn’t say a word, but took out three bombs and began stringing them.

"If you continue this shamelessness, when this string is full, that’s when I’ll throw it down."

Seeing the not-joking Nian Shutong, the scholar silently remembered these two people. Offending the Chi Family, sooner or later, they couldn’t escape the consequences.

Just take the money and you can leave here? Naive.

"One hundred billion Star Coins."

For the first time, the scholar gave a starting price, but how could Nian Shutong be satisfied?

She sold a starship for that much money, and it contained Crystal Stones.

This time, she didn’t take a bomb, but instead, stepped back and casually tapped on the wall of the entrance.

"Ah? Didn’t expect there to be Crystal Stones here."

In the palm of Nian Shutong’s hand was a top-grade Crystal Stone, its pure energy made everyone outside widen their eyes.

This Crystal Stone Mine contained top-grade crystal stones.
