The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 489: Should We Buy Another One?

"One hundred trillion Star Coins, Nian Shutong was about to get them right away. However, the Crystal Stones inside still required a few minutes’ time."

Just when she was about to sign the contract for the transfer of the mining rights, she stopped.

The scholar representing the Chi Family, who was watching the contract come into fruition, but Nian Shutong stopped?

Had she changed her mind?

"What else do you want to do?"

Hearing the scholar’s question, Nian Shutong asked as if she hadn’t realized, "Do I have another mining field? Would you like to buy it?"

"I bought it today too, along with this Mine 444. Do you want it?"

"I was ready to take the money and run under Lieutenant Xiong’s protection; I couldn’t mine this field anymore."

"So, do you want it?" The contract wasn’t signed, but they started negotiating another deal.

The scholar didn’t immediately refuse, thinking of the information he had investigated today, this woman indeed bought two mining fields, what if her luck was good?

However, the scholar replied, "Not buying."

"Oh——anyone else want to buy it? You can auction it off to the highest bidder."

Nian Shutong completely left and politely said to Xiong Da, "Please wait for me for a moment, I’ll sell this first."

"Okay, I’m not in a hurry."

Xiong Da was also willing to accommodate Nian Shutong.

The scholar watched with open eyes as Nian Shutong walked into the crowd opposite and began to boast that her luck was quite strange.

"As a person, my luck has always been hit or miss since I was a child, sometimes finding money just by walking, and those few days my luck is so unbelievably good."

"But sometimes when I’m unlucky, it’s like even drinking cold water gets lodged between my teeth."

"Fifty-fifty, not sure if this time it’s good luck or bad."

When Nian Shutong said this, her eyes turned toward the scholar.

The people opposite were completely led astray by Nian Shutong’s thoughts.

Good luck that stumbled upon a Crystal Stone Mine, yet bad luck that was being forced to give up mining rights.

Right now, everyone overlooked one thing, which was that the Chi Family paid one hundred trillion Star Coins.

This amount was not a small sum for any family.

Indeed, this expenditure could ensure many things wouldn’t run perfectly anymore.

But now, everyone’s focus was on the other mining field.

This field was bought when this woman was having good luck; maybe it would be touched with some good fortune too?

What if there were more Crystal Stones?

Just thinking about that, everyone’s heart was aflame with excitement.

It is said that gamblers always think they will win the next hand, always having the thought of ’one more time, one more time’, gradually losing until they are left with nothing but their underwear.

These people were now blinded by Crystal Stones, or rather, they didn’t want to wake up.

"I bid ten billion Star Coins."

"Twenty billion."

"Fifty billion!"

"I bid one hundred billion!"

...

Nian Shutong, watching the bidding that rose and fell, was very satisfied in her heart. She even deliberately looked back at the scholar and then turned her head to watch the bidding crowd.

How nice, they were all here to give her money, but it was also what they asked for themselves. They came to her door and were lured by their own fantasies of profit, none of them good people.

With this money, Rubble could research anything he wanted, and she had the funds for the Transfer Station she wanted to build.

The most critical thing was, the Crystal Stones inside were also hers.

It was truly the most perfect day.

At this point, the bidding had reached the level of one hundred billion.

There were also quite a few onlookers beside them, all of whom shared one feeling in their hearts: to these wealthy people, money really was just a number.

Even Xiong Da was listening with a sense of trepidation.

Where did all these people’s money come from?

"Master, it’s done!"

"Sold!"

With Daodao’s notification and Shutong’s final call, another mine was sold for an astronomical 340 billion Star Coins.

The mine she bought for a little over 3 billion was flipped for over 3,000 billion, a thousand-fold increase. What a steal.

At this point, the auctioneer who had been leading Shutong and several other representatives to buy mines, as well as the previous six representatives, were still on site.

But they hadn’t participated in the bidding and were not partners of the Chi Family because, despite their wealth, they didn’t qualify.

Inside, the representatives felt as if they had swallowed a big bowl of unripe apricots mixed with underripe bayberries, and to top it off, a whole bottle of vinegar.

Sour!

Deadly sour!

The predominant sensation was regret. It was all within easy reach, they had arrived together, yet what were they thinking at the time?

Idiots? Morons?

In hindsight, they were the biggest fools.

No, calling them fools and morons was insulting to fools and morons. They felt agony as if ants were gnawing at their insides, piercing their hearts with discomfort.

It wasn’t that they didn’t understand; they had been deceived. That woman’s initial goal was the Crystal Stone Mine with the number 444.

Still, the regret was there; they should not have assumed.

Despite their regret, they were out of options. And the fact that the woman didn’t get the Crystal Stones was a small comfort to them.

Another auctioneer had understood Shutong’s moves from start to finish. With such a player, his only thought was not to offend her.

Even the Chi Family, who seemed to be the winners for now, couldn’t make the auctioneer optimistic.

He had a feeling that the one selling the mine was not that simple.

At that moment, Shutong first settled the paperwork for another mine and finally turned to the scholar.

"Hey, how did your face get so dark?"

Shutong’s feigned ignorance made the scholar grind his teeth with a forced smile.

"Are we signing or not?"

"Huh? Can I reconsider? If so, not signing isn’t out of the question."

Shutong looked unfazed as she stared at the scholar, who eventually cracked a smile, his tone much softer.

"Let’s sign the contract."

"Remember, you begged me to sign this."

Shutong verbally dominated and finalized the mining contract.

After the contract was signed, Shutong asked, "Is it effective now?"

"It’s effective. From this moment on, you have no ties to this mine."

The scholar, with the contract in hand, suddenly had a different aura.

It was his turf; he called the shots now.

"Well, it’s my own lack of ability that’s to blame."

A somewhat despondent Shutong, shedding her previous indecisiveness, called out at the door.

"Let’s go!"

Dou Dou and Fu Yunhe, who had been waiting at the entrance to the mine, immediately followed Shutong.

Shutong said to Xiong Da with only one sentence, "I’ll treat you to a meal."

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Great!"

When Shutong mentioned treating to a meal, it surely meant delicious food, and Xiong Da felt he was in for a treat.

He also sensed Shutong’s eagerness to leave, indicating there might be something fishy about the mine.

However, thinking that it was the Chi Family who would be at a loss, Xiong Da felt as elated as if he was in the midsummer heat, eating chilled watermelon.

Shutong and her two companions walked alongside Xiong Da, ready to leave.

The scholar didn’t dare waste time, sprinting into the mine. As soon as he entered, he was hit by the lingering scent of Crystal Stones, so intense that it gave the illusion just a breath could raise one’s Level.

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Good, good! Worth it! Totally worth it!"
