In a cyborg store in Eleven City…Here, housekeeping cyborgs, bodyguard cyborgs, pilot cyborgs, and any other kind of cyborg could all be bought with enough money.
"Qian Wanyang, do you know who runs those stores?" w.a.n.g Hao looked back at the stores on the two sides of the street. Having a store in Eleven City would mean owning a goose that laid golden eggs.
"Those stores are rented by the mercenaries in the Guild of Adventurers and managed by the societies in the No. 11 school. I"m told that the annual rent is at least one million contribution points," revealed Qian Wanyang.
"The Guild of Adventurers? Mercenaries? Societies?" w.a.n.g Hao thought for a moment. If he recalled correctly, the Guild of Adventurers was one of the five biggest forces in the Universal Federation. It was made of daredevil civilians.
They were free-willed. Sometimes, they hunted demon beasts and sold the demon beasts for money. Sometimes, they crossed the border and looted other galaxies. Sometimes, they escorted goods for other people as interstellar bodyguards…
They would do anything to make money, but they never violated the laws of the Universal Federation. Sometimes, they would even help when the Universal Federation was attacked by other galaxies.
It was not because they were patriots, but because they knew that the Universal Federation was their base. They needed a place to rest and replenish, or they would be eliminated.
Most of the students in the Four Focused Colleges were civilians, so the Guild of Adventurers was naturally interested in hiring them.
To make friends with the students, the mercenaries in the Guild of Adventurers had rented the stores and asked the societies close to them to manage the stores. They sold the items they acquired in their missions through the stores and shared the money with the societies. One could say that it was indirect sponsors.h.i.+p.
When w.a.n.g Hao and Qian Wanyang entered the cyborg store, a sweet girl greeted them and asked courteously, "Welcome! May I know what kind of cyborg you need?"
Qian Wanyang pulled w.a.n.g Hao over and nodded. "Boss, look, it"s Zhao Xiaoyu, and Yuan Ling, the leader of Rose Society."
"Zhao Xiaoyu? Yuan Ling?" w.a.n.g Hao raised his head. When he saw the slim girl, he remembered that Zhao Xiaoyu was one of the two girls who were pursuing Chen Yao.
He also remembered who Yuan Ling was. She was the woman who surrounded his villa with her confidantes yesterday.
Zhao Xiaoyu seemed to be crying and devastated, and Yuan Ling was consoling her in a low voice.
"Xiaoyu, you and Lin Pan are both members of Rose Society. Is it really appropriate for you to fight over a man?" Yuan Ling snorted. "w.a.n.g Hao"s followers can"t be anything good…"
"But I"m really into Chen Yao…" Zhao Xiaoyu sobbed.
"Hey, chick, what"s that supposed to mean?" w.a.n.g Hao jumped out happily. Why couldn"t his followers be anything good?
It was clearly Chen Yao"s mistake to have flirted with multiple women simultaneously. Why did she blame w.a.n.g Hao for it?
Yuan Ling turned around and was surprised to see w.a.n.g Hao, but she moved her eyes away the next second, avoiding eye contact with him.
w.a.n.g Hao was completely enraged. This wretched woman libeled him and despised him. It was unacceptable.
"Are you w.a.n.g Hao, Chen Yao"s boss?" Zhao Xiaoyu was suddenly delighted. "Could you tell Chen Yao not to refuse me so quickly…"
w.a.n.g Hao was dumbfounded. Could you be more serious? I"m a supervillain destined to do bad feelings, not a relations.h.i.+p specialist.
"Xiaoyu, why are you still not giving up?" Yuan Ling felt a headache coming on. She truly did not know what was good about Chen Yao.
"Sister Yuan Ling, I want Chen Yao." Zhao Xiaoyu was stubborn. Having been pampered by her family, she was unwilling to admit her defeat to Lin Pan.
Besides, Chen Yao was really a nice person. His character and personality were very suitable for her.
w.a.n.g Hao narrowed his eyes and sized up Zhao Xiaoyu. Then he shook his head. "To be honest, it"s hard for you to keep Chen Yao with you with your physical condition."
Zhao Xiaoyu was too slim. She did not have any curves and was essentially a bamboo pole.
Lin Pan, on the other hand, was chubby, but she had big b.o.o.bs at least. So, it was not hard to infer which between them Chen Yao would choose.
Zhao Xiaoyu anxiously asked, "Are there no other ways?"
"There are ways, depending on how much you"re willing to pay." w.a.n.g Hao winked at Zhao Xiaoyu.
Qian Wanyang was dumbfounded. What was his boss"s meaning? Was he going to take Zhao Xiaoyu first before giving her to Chen Yao?
"w.a.n.g Hao, you are shameless…" Zhao Xiaoyu glared at w.a.n.g Hao and retreated to Yuan Ling"s back.
"w.a.n.g Hao, you are not welcomed here. Leave now…" Yuan Ling burst into rage. A magnificent vibe was rising from her.
w.a.n.g Hao was taken aback. Why was he shameless? He was merely trying to extort some weapons from Zhao Xiaoyu for his s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p since her family sold weapons. Was that shameless?
Well… It might be slightly shameless, but it was still wrong of them to yell at him.
w.a.n.g Hao looked at Zhao Xiaoyu disdainfully. "You claim to love Chen Yao, but you"re unwilling to pay any money. There"s a reason why you"re alone."
Everybody was dumbfounded. Pay money? Was money the price that w.a.n.g Hao referred to?
"Money?" Zhao Xiaoyu blushed. It seemed that she misunderstood w.a.n.g Hao. But considering w.a.n.g Hao"s notoriety, her concern was well-grounded.
"How much do I have to pay to make Chen Yao fall in love with me?" asked Zhao Xiaoyu shyly.
w.a.n.g Hao was dumbfounded. He couldn"t understand why the woman changed her att.i.tude so quickly after she cursed him just now.
But he certainly wouldn"t refuse money that had been offered to him.
"Cough, cough…" w.a.n.g Hao coughed and said, "I"m told that Ms. Zhao"s family runs a weapon business. I just bought a s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p today, but it"s not armed…"
"I can ask my father to give you a 20% discount…" Zhao Xiaoyu interrupted w.a.n.g Hao.
"I don"t think you understood me, Ms. Zhao." w.a.n.g Hao shook his head. "I don"t have any money!"
"Puchi…"
Everybody was lost for words. You"re buying weapons without any money? Do you want her to give you the weapons for free? But isn"t it too shameless when you talk about it in such a matter-of-fact way?
Zhao Xiaoyu"s lips twitched. "I can ask my father to install some weapons with level-one damage for you for free."
w.a.n.g Hao thought for a moment and shook his head. "I"m interested in nothing but weapons with level-four damage."
"Cough! Cough!"
Everybody choked. The man was too shameless. He wanted weapons with level-four damage when he did not have a dime. That was outrageous!
